`` Lord Captain, we've made landfall!'' 
 
 `` Thank you Nut, smooth landing as per usual. Geb, what have your sensors picked up?'' asked the captain of the ship, shifting to look from his navigator to his intelligence officer. 
 
 `` Well Captain Ra, there's a class A species out there but they're in very early stages of development. I'd say their most advanced technology is the pulley. They've seen us land of course and at least three score armed men are converging on our location. They do not pose much of a threat but we may want to teach them a lesson if we plan to stay.'' states a man who appeared to look beyond his console and in fact was seeing everything for a hundred miles via his datajack, connecting him to the various probes they had released. 
 
 `` Indeed, very astute. Send Sekhmet to intercept, have her make an example and at the same time assess the threat level of these beings.'' said the captain, pressing some buttons on the console in front of him before standing. `` I will rest for now, as should we all till Sekhmet reports back. Someone shall fetch me if anything goes wrong of course.'' 
 
 `` Yes Lord Captain!'' reverberated the answer from his crew, setting his orders in motion before each of them retired to their own quarters. Geb tried to keep an eye on things from his quarters but the captain was right, and weariness soon overpowered him. 
 
 Outside, Sekhmet prepared for battle. Though she was the captains daughter, she was also the ships peacekeeper, cybernetically augmented to protect her father and his crew. Her fur bristled under the alien sun, and her legs tensed as she sprung into a run. As she crested the nearest dunes she saw in the distance the beings she was ordered to assess, merely a quarter of her size at best and wielding crude spears she realized they would be little harm to the crew. Still an example was to be made, and she would make it. 
 
 Wading into battle she decimated the men, leaving only a few survivors. She grasped one of the few survivors in her bloody claws, lifting him to her so she might examine him further. `` You will tell the story of what happened here.'' she stated, knowing her augmentations would take care of any required translation. The man looked terrified, but there was something else there. She realized only too late that the other thing within the man was defiance as he threw his spear. It smashed into her eye and though it did not damage her vision, it was enough to damage numerous sensors there. 
 
 Suddenly these tiny men were enormous threats, Sekhmet could not allow any of them to live and she would not. She smashed the man she held into the ground and then destroyed the remaining survivors. She then ran across the dunes towards the nearest settlements, carving a bloody swath of destruction as she moved. These beings would rue the day they sought to threaten the crew of the Solar Barge.
