"Ghost Lead, this is Ghost Two. I've got a heat signature. Bearing one-eight-zero, fifty klicks."

Captain Elena Vasquez's voice crackled in his ear. "Confirmed. Move to intercept. Weapons hot."

Marcus pushed his throttle forward, the Starhawk's twin engines glowing blue. The debris thinned, and then he saw it-a vessel unlike any he had encountered. It was organic, pulsing with a faint green light, its surface rippling like water.

"Unidentified vessel, this is Lieutenant Marcus Webb of the United States Space Force. Power down your weapons and prepare to be boarded."

The alien ship did not respond. Instead, it opened fire-not with lasers or missiles, but with a pulse of energy that passed through Marcus's cockpit, through his body, through the ship itself.

"I'm hit!" he shouted. "No damage. What was that?"

Elena's voice was sharp. "They scanned you. They know everything about us now. Break off, Marcus. Get out of there."

The alien ship turned, its green light intensifying. A voice echoed in Marcus's mind-cold, probing, alien.

"Your weapons are primitive. Your defenses are weak. Your world will be ours."

Marcus's blood ran cold. "Not today," he said.

He fired. His missiles streaked toward the alien ship, struck, and exploded. The vessel shuddered, then split apart, its pieces tumbling into the void.

"Target destroyed," Marcus reported.

"Return to base," Elena said. "We have a lot to debrief."

Marcus turned his ship toward Earth, the stars streaking past. The alien ship had scanned him. It knew his thoughts, his fears, his weaknesses.

But it had also made a mistake. It had underestimated him.

He touched the photograph of his wife, tucked into his flight suit. "I'm coming home," he whispered.

But he knew the war was just beginning. And somewhere in the darkness, the alien fleet was watching.
