Kit woke from a sound sleep, blinking for a moment at the interruption, but
immediately pulling her uniform on.  "Kitanya to all SpecOps memberrrs," she
said into the com as she shrugged the body armor on.  "I want everrry
able-bodied fighterrr in full gearrr and arrrmed.  I want you in the assembly
arrrea in five minutes.  Kitanya out."  Then she changed Channels.  "Kitanya
to Lasiterrr.  What's going on?"  

(resp?)

"We've got no plans forrr a second boarrrding scenario.  Let's just kick the
crrrap out of these guys.  If they boarrrd any of the convoy ships, you've got
us available to beam overrr and take carrre of them.  They won't expect a
tactical strrrike team to be meeting them on a carrrgo vessel.  Orrr this
one."

(resp?)

She got her own gear on and grabbed her weaponry, heading to the area with the
rest of them.  Once they were all there, she sent back some who should not
have left sickbay, then addressed the rest.  "The felinids have decided to
trrry again.  We don't have a need to boarrrd theirrr vessels this time, but
we must make surrre to keep those prrrisonerrs herrre.  Also, if any of the
carrrgo ships orrr this one, forrr that matterrr, get boarrrded, we'll beam
overrr therrre and teach them a little lesson about trrrying to steal ourrr
ships.  Make them think twice about the next time.  Arrre you rrready?!" she
yelled.  A chorus of affirmative yells came back.  That done, Kit sent a team
to make sure the prisoners didn't get squirrely and to prevent any rescue,
then told the rest they would be a strike team for any boarded vessel. 
"Kitanya to Lasiterrr.  The prrrisonerrs arrre securrred and we arrre standing
by forrr inserrrtion if necessarrry."
