I was taking a training at work and came across the words "Lock on". Sounded like a great writing prompt. If you write on it, share in Comments!
Here's
mine:
Dol Katak took the helm. He quickly surveyed the bridge. 4 appeared dead, 2 injured - but still functioning, and 1 female, uninjured, angrily stared him down from her set of controls.
His men fanned out beside him, weapons drawn.
The woman shouted at him. There was a 2 second delay from his earpiece translator.
"How dare you! We are just a supply ship!"
Dol smiled. "That's what they all say."
He tapped his earpiece and said, "Captain, the ship has been secured. Lock on."

And then? And then? Great take on two simple words.
