Dave heard about the small impact that Terminus had with the asteroid and he was rather relieved. He then went alone in the Observation Deck, watching Toledo, as he was "meditating" on something. After a few moments he contacted Ashley who was aboard the Legion. He accessed the Quantum Communicator to hail the Legion located somewhere in Delta.
Dave : Hey Ash....*with a rather sad tone*
Ashley : Hey Dave, is something wrong ?
Dave : Yes, I will leave ... to Gallia, with the Terminus, my Bastet is already in the docking bay.. I might not return..
Ashley : Why are you ... stop saying this ! How can you even say that ? Listen, you are not going alone... Jack will always be with you... you know you can trust him !
Dave : Yes Ash, It's not about that, for the first time.. I don't know what we can find over there... They protected their systems with dozens of mines.... around several jump holes ! They must protect something, and our Intel from the Council on the Reunion... they locked their original systems up. They can hold some technological secrets unknown for us ! Who knows.. I never saw their ships... I dont even have any brief of their technological progress... They can hold many suprises for us... un-wanted surprises...
Ashley : Dave things may not go bad as you think, I know ... there might be lots of surprises, but think positive, after all you are member of the most advanced organizations in Sirius right ? So use your qualities and everything will be fine...
Dave : Also the Legion will be under your command until I return ..
Ashley : Understood Dave, and take care ...
Dave : I will, don't worry, I will send you several subspace messages viat the local Quantum Communicator.
Ashley : Good bye Dave ...
Dave : Good bye Ash...
Then Dave sadly, turned off the communicator as he returned to the CIC where there were the others.
