"Open a channel... This is Admiral Markus Garibaldi, we are heading in to dock.
Please direct us to a clear docking bay." he said into the open comm channel.
A very long moment later...
"Admiral, sorry for the delay. We have been busy. Please head to docking bay 2.
You will, however, be on manual. We can't spare anyone to help you in."
"I think that we can handle that. Garibaldi out." he said closing the channel with
a deep sigh.
"Jack, if you could please bring us around to the other side. Docking bay 2 is over
there."
