==Collision Course==      

The alarms started to blear as the two missiles were launched. In seconds the Serenity’s computer had tracked and projected their flight path. The comms officer informed Jay that they had just received a all ship message from the planet and that the missiles were for routine satellite destruction. As [[Jay]]watched the Serenities tracking information is appeared that the two missiles were heading towards two large unpowered satellites that were in danger of falling out of orbit and impacting the planet below. Once it Jay was sure that there was not a danger of anything hitting the Serenity she went back to the report that she was reading. 

She was halfway through the report when there was an urgent call from [[Kindoo Pachakan]] who was  at the  the tactical station. It appeared that the two missiles had hit the satellites and instead of breaking them it to  large pieces that would burn up into the atmosphere they shattered sending pieces of satellite scattering across the sky like shotgun pellets. As Jay watched in horror the spreading field of debris spread through the other satellites that were on orbit. As one was hit it would shatter scattering more debris every directions which would then hit more satellites and the process would begin.  Traveling at over 17,500 mph the wave of destructive debris got bigger and bigger every passing second.

Jay ordered the Serenity to red alert and began to maneuver her out of their assigned position. As they tracked the expanding debris it hit the dockyard which was above the northern pole. the dockyards shields had been risen at the first sign of trouble but it only prolonged the inevitable. The shields were designed to take some punishment from small orbital debris but not from the massive force that slammed into it. The shields flashed out of existence as the shield generators over loaded and failed. The dockyard was bombarded with flying debris and it staggered hard with the impacts. As Jay watched the lights dimmed and then disappeared altogether as the power failed. It then started its slow slide out of its orbital position and into the planets atmosphere below.
