[The Host]

 "... So you've... given up?" The voice that came over the transmission was weaker than before, but still had a sting of cruelty and pride in it.
 Dolphin brought the mic to her mouth, and began transmission. "No... I've realised who you are... and I can't give up now... "
 "You seem... so sure of yourself... all of a sudden... Does my prsence give you... a jolt of power..."
 "No, that's not it. It's the fact that you can't shoot me anymore that will allow me to win. This whole time that we've been talking, my second in command has moved himself infront of me. You didn't order him to stop, nor did you give any sign of dismay that he's blocking me now. You were bluffing!"
 The line went dead for a minute, then the voice came back on, a small laugh starting the speech. "My dear lady. You are wrong. Completely wrong. You see... I can't shoot your face... but I can shoot you're back. And if that man with the black hair moves an inch, I will destroy your ship completely. I will tear you... limb from-"
 "What the hell just happened? Why'd you cut out?"
 The line was silent, then, "Sir, Captain Grelacta, respond!"
 'Who the hell are you?" Shouted Dolphin.
 "What? You're Dolphin, from the RainShield. Captain Grelacta is dead. He was shot. It was your doing!" The line closed completely, shuttuing Dolphin off from any further responce. Then, suddenly the voice returned over large speakers from the enemy ships.
"This is Commander Seril. Captain Grelacta has been shot, and has died. All foot soldiers get into boats and raid the enemy's ship. War ships, provide cover fire. We're taking the RainShield and its occupants in one final all out attack. Destroy everyone but the commander. Bring Dolphin back alive, even if she's only got one limb left. I want her for my own purposes. Kill them now!"
 Dolphin shuddered, moving away from her position and back to her seat. Shouting orders into the mic, she began to command the ship's occupants, but was stopped by her second.
 "The enemy has destroyed the com system. We need to give orders by direct confrontation."
