"Yes Captain?" A semi-oriental-looking Salusian in red uniform asked.
"Give me a status report on the blockade we're setting up outside the Milkyway galaxy." Captain Sardonis commanded.
Mr. Ulus typed a few keys on the console in front of him. A bit of Salusian text appeared on the scree on his console. "Sir, the blockade is definitely working in a ring pattern, but the fleet can only cover 64.436% when you consider the distance between each ship. More than enough for a small ship like Princess Asrial's to get through."
"Blast!" Captain Sardonis said. His eyes narrowed in concetration, he said, "Mr. Ulus!"
"Yes captain?" Ulus asked.
"Move the Armada further into the Milkyway Galaxy." Captain Sardonis commanded. "Set up the Warships right after the planet Jupiter, so that way our blockade is formed outside the inner-part of that Solar System."
"But, Captain!" Ulus said. "We do not have the authority to enter peaceful, 'off-limit' galaxies, without getting permission, and legalized documentation from the Ruling family."
Captain Sardonis growled at his subordinate. "In case you have forgotten, there is NO ONE besides me in power! Right now, we are in martial law!" A smirk appeared on Sardonis's face. "And if we can keep that spoiled, royal brat away from Salusia for the next forty-eight hours, then the Salusian Empire will be under my total rule, period!"
Ulus nodded his head. "Yes, Sir! But, I still don't understand why you are doing this. I can understand your want for power, Captain, but I've thought you a powerful ally of the royal family."
"A powerful ally to those in power." Captain Sardonis said. "Now that I am in power, I plan to keep it!" His eyes hardened. "And if it means keeping the 'princess' stuck here for the next forty-eight hours, then so be it!" Captain Sardonis then added, "And once that time is up, I am going back to Salusia to rightfully claim the throne for myself."
Ulus nodded. "And what of the Princess? Of the other members of the Royal family?"
"They will be arrested as enemies of the Empire, and executed." Captain Sardonis chuckled evilly. "And then, heh heh, if the 'princess' still wants to remain in power, I will allow her to marry me and become my Queen."
"There's the chance she may refuse, Captain." Mr. Ulus warned.
"I know that!" Captain Sardonis said. "And it doesn't change my position much. If she refuses then I will have her killed, or have my way with her." Captain Sardonis laughed maniancally. "After years of having to curtail to that brat's whims, having to get here out here, and then having to be the ones to make regular checkups on her and and do all sorts of things for her bastard family..." Sardonis calmed calmed down, somewhat, "Now, I will get what I rightfully derserve. It is really I who have kept this Empire running, so it is I who deserves to rule!"
Ulus shivered as he listened to his captain's ranting. "Not even truly in power yet, and he's already drunk off it." Ulus thought sadly.
Ulus shaked his head. No crying over spilt milk. Typing in commands, it was now time for the Armada to enter neutrel space.
