Twilight Of Peace

[Dab]

Dab standing at the observation window overlooking the shipyards, was looking at the ships still in repair bays from the fight in Tau-31 as one of the lieutenants came running up.

Lieutenant Dufre: Sir we have a trasmission coming up from are intellegance agents on Kurile. Its marked urgent.

Dab: Did it say anything else?

LieutenantDufre: I don't know. It has a level 9 restriction code.

Dab:Very well.

Dab walked to the comm center. The comm poped up with a connection to Kurile as soon as he put in his code.

Intellegance officer: Sir your not going to believe this.

***************************

But the Kurile operatives weren't the only ones having an interesting day. The inetellegance officers in a makeshift base inside the old wreck of the Hispania, whos job it was to moniter all Phantom transmissions and movements caught a transmission that was going to all Phantoms in the area.

Luckily the coding had been hastily applied and was easy to break. The operartives eyes widened at the visuals attached to the files. Massive numbers of Rheinland ships entering the area. He immediately redirected the transmission to Lord Captain Dab's flagship, the Osiris Ableben.

He began typing. "Large force of Rheinland vessals entering Omicron Gamma. Force consists of 1 battleship, 20 cruisers or more, and a very large amount of gunboats. And a couple hundred fighters. Repeat, large force of Rhein..."

**************************** He listened to the operatives report while he read the message from the intellegance operatives on the Hispania. He got similier reports from both of them. Large forces of Rheinland units entering systems.

He "reached" out and immediately got senses of anger and bitterness.

Dab: Lieutenant Dufre send a message to the enterprise group and the backup in Theta to move out and defend the Omicron Theta jump hole in Sigma-17. Send a similar order to the Beta group to protect the Beta jump hole in Sigma-17. Call the Maul group and backup group in Alpha to go to the Gamma JH in Theta, we will meet them there.

Whatever their goal they will not be entering our system without my premission.
