MISSION IS VERY POWERFUL. READS 10 BY ON SCALE. HOWEVER THE BEAM IS DIRECTIONAL.
"Do you have a lock yet?" she asked Brillon.
"I've got a source lock!" Brillon yelled. "I'm sending it to your computer.
Nothing yet on destination except it's west and south of here. This system

Brillon was now looking over her shoulder. "That's because it's coming from a
spaceship, assholes," he muttered. "It has to, to be that strong. It's not
