A whisper...Can you hear it?

A whisper....can you hear it? I have sat staring at this holy relic for...I don't know how long it has been, could be days, months ,years, maybe more. I am no longer able to eat, sleep or even move. I just stare at this UA and wonder at its Devine purpose. Suddenly an explosion, my trance broken, this was my signal. I reach over to the control pad and release the containment field around the UA, it makes a few noises then disappears into the wall of the station. Our work has begun. I run down the hall to the elevator at the end of the corridor and instruct it to take me to the docking level. It would not be long before Drunk locks down the station. As I step out on to the pad i am struck by a deafening roar as an anaconda boosts overhead, it makes me stagger. It was Pilot leaving right on time...I was next. As I reach my cockpit I fire up my engines, release the docking clamps and plot my jump course to our rendezvous point. It has only just begun. That whisper....did you hear?
