Prologue
UNSC Midnight's Rest Flight Recorder, November 7, 2538
----
UNSC Midnight's Rest: “Phoenix Spaceways 272 this is the UNSC destroyer Midnight's Rest. You have missed your FTL departure window and have left your navigation corridor. Do you require assistance?”
UNSC Midnight's Rest: “Phoenix 272 this is the UNSC destroyer Midnight's Rest. Do you read us on this frequency?”
Phoenix Spaceways Flight 272: *unintelligible* 
Crewman (in background): “It’s open.”
Man (to captain, in background): “You, tell them to back off.” 
Captain: “This is Captain Shanks of Phoenix Spaceways 272 to Midnight’s Rest. I need you to back off to 5,000 kilometers. Do not approach us.”
UNSC Midnight’s Rest: “Phoenix 272, Midnight’s Rest. We did not copy your last. Please retransmit.”
Phoenix Spaceways Flight 272: “Midnight, Phoenix 272. We’ve been hijacked. Do not approach. Maintain 5,000 kilometers. They say they have a bomb.”
UNSC Midnight’s Rest: “Phoenix 272, please confirm. You’ve been hijacked?”
Phoenix Spaceways Flight 272: “Midnight, that’s affirmative.”
Man (in background): “They’re not moving away! Tell them-”
*unintelligible*
Captain: “Midnight I need you to move away and maintain 5,000 kilometers minimum. Do you confirm? I have three-hundred souls in cryo right now and their lives depend on you moving away immediately.”
UNSC Midnight’s Rest: “272 we confirm. Moving to maintain 5 - 2 - K. Have your hijackers made any demands?”
