The Farthest Man from Home

"Don't let the sun go down on me, although I search myself, it's always someone else I see..." is herd throughout the ship as every major compartment is either slow dancing with their partner or simply the person next to them. The panels rattle on the outer edge of the bridge as Silas and Skye slow dance in the center of the bridge. The Marines tasked with guarding the bridge slow dance with each other some using their shoulder radios as microphones to sing in. The dim red lights normally used for general quarters now shine as a romantic environment for the bridge crew who are slow dancing with each other at their consoles. The ship oddly rolls as other ships in the battle group fly at a steady pace. Crewmen and women from other ships look out their windows to see the smaller Stealth Intruder slowly roll, each rotation showing the crews of other ships the slow dance in the dim red light through the window. Some crews from other ships look through binoculars to see ...

During my time serving with the Intruder groups over the years I felt there was just too much history and story arcs that could have made for a great movie. For the last two years I was in negotiations with making a CGI film of these stories however I just never could get enough voice actors so the animation would come out like a comic or text based cartoon which I just found corny.
