"If
the hyperspace targeting system is accurate, we will emerge
in close proximity to the support vessel Khar-Selim. This
ship has spent the past 10 years travelling on conventional
drives to reach the edge of the Kharak system. The
Khar-Selim will monitor the quantum waveform as we return to
normal space and assist in tuning our drive control systems.
If the hyperspace module malfunctions, the Khar-Selim will
provide assistance and re-supply. Mission objectives will be
to dock with the support vessel in order to complete
adjustments to the Mothership and her drives." -

"Sir, they're coming in fast... Check... Incoming fire!
We are under attack! They're getting through! Breaches
across all decks! Hull integrity failing!"
"Khar-Selim to Mothership! If you are receiving, abort
hyperdrive test. Repeat: abort hyperdrive test!
