The Black is calling

After many many jumps and overworking the frame shift drive (not to mention the rolls and rolls of duct tape holding it together from the neutron jumps) Commander Wize is starring out the window he hears a voice though being the only one on the bridge "you know you want to go home, it's easy. Just press one little button and... " he shivers "what's a few thousand light-years?" he glanced at the console at the right of his command chair and thinks to himself that he couldn't do that he way under contract carrying a VIP to the colonia system from his home system aditi, "he would understand if you just wanted to go home. "the voice replied. Wize walks over to the console and starts to reach for the self destruct button but before he could confirm the order the console on the left cherps getting Wize's attention and he laughed out loud. The display was showing that colonia was only 24 hyperspace jumps away. With his senses back to him he goes back to his systems console he starts powering down everything but life support and puts the ships computers into in lock down for 24 hours, "there now I have no choice but to get some R-N-R." and he walks to his quarters. Once the bridge was empty a message flashed across all the screens "I will get you yet." before fading the black of low power mode.
