We got teh ships babay! (LoA 2075 or beyond challenge)

“Umm, Captain?”
The captain drew a heavy sigh, hating to be interupted by such petty noise. Especially during his weekly foot-rub.
Yes Isaac?”
The soldier stammered, and took a step forward.
“Well, um, there’s a-”
“Enough babbling, Isaac, please…”
The soldier cleared his throat and tried once more.
“There’s an enemy ship approaching, and I think we should-”
The mighty captain raised his hand, chuckling heartily.
“Computer” the Captain’s voice boomed, “Activate shields of Awesomeness, and open window shutters.”
“Yes Captain.” answered the computer plainly.
The metal shutters slid away, revealing the vastness of space, and the Earth below. And indeed there was an enemy ship approaching, whose main cannons were glowing red with hot plasma.
“um, sir… I believe they’re prepairing to fire.”
The Captain didn’t say a word, only staring into the cannons of the enemy ship. They suddenly grew brighter, before the ship crumbled gloriously. The Captain chuckled again.
“Welcome to the LoA, Isaac.”
