[color=#FFCC33]Chapter 3 2/3

After two hours of being in the infirmary the doctor decided
to release me. She also gave me some pain relievers
for a head ache that I acquired.

The 122nd fleet was still preparing to tow the ship. Though
from the looks of things they were almost ready. A ship
of our size couldn't be towed by the smaller vessels they
brought with them. So they instead used the two flagships
they had. It was time to get moving.

"Commodore Caitlyn Shauers here. We are ready to start
moving when you are." Her voice rang over the comm
system of our ship. Though old she still seemed rather
modern to us.

I told the bridge to give Ms. Shauers the thumbs up.
As I continued to walk down the hall to get to the
bridge.

"Alright hold on to something." Caitlyn said as the ship
jolted forward. The large battleships towing her to this
shipyard they mentioned. Could it be their home or
just an outpost. I would hope these questions would
be answered soon.

We've been being towed for several hours now. The
Order ships were not able to engage cruise engines
while towing us. So we decided to stay at normal
engine speed.

The sphere formation around our ship intimidated me
a bit. For if they did become our enemies in this
short time. They would surely blow us up.

All I know is that purple thing. That killed our home
was finally destroyed. Making me fear that we have
angered them. Those things. Those nomads.

Countless raids on the fleet were being made by those
things though not one was piercing it. This fleet was
well commanded and for that I was happy. Happy
to see a ship that wasn't mine. For so long this ship
has sheltered us. For so long have we had no
contacts with others. This sudden group brought
up the moral of my crew by so much.
