Kuat. 0400 Planetary hours. NR Department of the Navy HQ.
A beeping comm roused Rear Admiral Sargast from his sleep. Yawning, he reached over to activate it.
"Sargast here."
The voice on the other line was terse and formal. "Admiral, we've had contact on Kuat. A small object emerged from hyperspace at 0351 hours, and rapidly entered our atmosphere, impacting on the northern continent. Also...we've received a signal.
Sir...you should listen to this."
The junior officer played the recording through the comm. The chilling sound of the voice caused Sargast to sit up straight in bed.
"Put Fleet command on yellow alert."
He stood up quickly.
"Convene the naval staff...we have a situation."
