BRACE FOR IMPACT!

The voice that had started over my ship's intercom cut off, and I looked around until I saw Gamble waving at me from one of the control stations.

"You can talk to them now over your intercom, but you have to allow them to talk. I don't think that it is very nice of the slippery Eels to try and break into my system without my permission!" Gamble said triumphantly. 

I grinned at Gamble and then looked around at all the other tense faces of my wives, Beezli and Pelleta. None of them were smiling, and they all looked worried, and that wouldn't have bothered me if Beezli didn't look the most troubled.

"What do you think we should do, Beezli?" I asked her, and she was quiet for a moment.
