Precious seconds go by as Long cooly and mechanically begins the final process of completing repairs on the ship's hyperdrive. Through his link with the ship's computer he receives a broadcast message from the dock, "This is Holon Veil. All non security personnel evacuate the dock. We are about to commence a raid on the impounded ship, Wild Card, for engaging in illegal acts.... If anyone is aboard the Wild Card, surrender now and leniency will be given." The broadcast ends and Long, continuing his repairs, receives through the ships outboard camera feed images of dock personnel rushing to get the hell out of the area. A minute goes by and Long diligently continues the last of his repairs...
The ship rocks slightly as the laser cutter the security forces were powering up spews forth an intense and continuous red energy beam into the ship's hull. Long is alerted by the ship immediately after the beam is activated. A sickening sound of soft screeching echoes through the ship as the beam starts cutting into it's hull.
