==Chapter 11 - The Wind at my Back, Stars at my feet==
CSA Absolute Truth McKenna Class Battleship Colleen system...
First, there was a pulse, and temporarily, the ship's sensors and systems reacted, breakers tripping throughout the vessel.
When power came up, there was a broadcast blanketing all comm channels currently in use.

"Where the hell is that coming from?"
There wasn't time for the Commanding officer of the ship to get his answer, as the first of two ten megaton warheads struck the McKenna Class vessel amidships, and detonated.
