Prologue

Year 1374 of the Celestial Calendar

The ship rocked under the sudden barrage from enemy vessels. The crew was scrambling to fire back, and keep their ship together. A powerful pegasus with a commanding presence kept his composure amidst the chaos.

"I want as much power into starboard shields as possible!" he bellowed, "We give them everything we've got! This is it everypony! We protect the station or DIE TRYING!!"

The orders were met with swift action and the tide of the battle was turned in their favor. Captain Rainbow Bolt breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the enemy ship explode. How many times will we have to do this? How much longer can we hold out?

That was the third attack that day. If it kept up like this, the science station they were trying to protect was sure to be destroyed. Bolt turned his head to look at the space station he had risked so much to protect. You better know what you're doing, Egghead.

Okay, you know how to write a good sentence, and this is at least legible. But, I have sections of author's notes that are longer than this.
