Host Bishop says:
In the Last Exciting Nighthawk Mission....

Host Bishop says:
As the Nighthawk was preparing to test the new Transphase drive system, Colonel MacFarlane was being transferred to the USS Calypso, During this transfer the Grob emerged from a Transphase rift and transported Colonel MacFarlanes Shuttle, the Grob vessel escaped, but not before the nighthawk could launch a probe to follow them.

Host Bishop says:
The Nighthawk was then ordered to pursue the Grob vessel in hopes of retrieving Colonel MacFarlane. however, midway through the pursuit the Transphase drive failed and the Nighthawk exited to Normal space.....
