Attack or Friendly Visit? Snippet from RISHALT for #WeWriWa #SciFiRom

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Meet writers in various genres and read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample their work. Enjoy!
I’m posting snippets from the beginning of Rishalt, Book 2 of Taxyon Space. The story begins on the submarine Galileo Station on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, shortly after the end of Book 1.
Rishalt, Book 2 of Taxyon Space
Draft BlurbA strange sphere has appeared in the ocean outside the submarine station. You can read last week’s snippet here – https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2018/01/alien-mermen-snippet-from-rishalt-for.htmlThe final line was: “The Warrish?” Major Tarlick scowled. “Is it an attack?” Note: I’ve skipped a few lines and abused punctuation to fit into 8-10 sentences.
A commotion from the rear heralded the entrance of Tech Albright. Big Al, unofficial leader of the colonists, marched to the front and glared at the iridescent sphere, “Styx, our green-skinned mermen have arrived in style.” Tarlick protested, “They’re attacking Bathos.” Al slapped the major’s stiff back and boomed, “We’d be bloody dead if they wanted to attack us. They could have slaughtered us at any time in the years they’ve been on Europa. We can’t match their technology; if they’ve got interstellar transport, they’re surely capable of dropping a bloody big bomb.” “Understood,” Tarlick groaned, “If they’re paying a friendly visit, do you think we ought to send divers to meet them?” Director Foster said, “Major Tarlick is correct. We ought to meet them in their own element as a neighborly gesture.”
