"West we have a contact!" One of her subordinates called out as they brought the picture to the main screen. "What the hell is that?"
"A dragon?" West asked with a mix of humor and surprise.
"How did that get this high up? It is nearly in the upper atmosphere!"
"Send three fighters on a pursuit course!" West called out.
"A second signal!" Someone else called out before the screen enhanced to show something climbing the back of the dragon as the fighters flew out of the ship. Then the dragon spun around and started dropping back to the planet. Soon enough it was out of range again, then they lost contact with the fighters they sent down.
"What the hell was that?" West asked in complete shock.
