Raptor, the Fendiq flagship, orbiting above the Galacia Federa outpost. Further out, not in an orbit, the Cflen. Several of their vessels Nathan had not been the only one to note, were massive!
They might have been a tadpole in the pond but Raptor had not escaped the attention of Ariel. Ljne was also in the know. She had already shown that she was no ordinary Cflen. Intelligent and cunning. "I was, when it was not within the Galacia Federa, Judiciary, inclined to launch an attack on the Fendiq vessel. Then I heard about your spy aboard the Raptor.
Miriasii contacted Ariel. "The Queen wants you to remain aboard. Make excuses as to why you cannot leave!
Nathan was NOT aboard Raptor. He was sat talking to Holli.
She had been pleased to see him, bringing him up to date on proceedings. "You've been tricked by them." Holli looked at him. "Xopha? The evidence they shown was faked. I had Tovinak watch the transmission. They made a mistake."
He played it back to her.
"See here? The symbol is wrong, that color is wrong. All faked. Those present would have been conned long enough for her to keep some of them on her side and I don't doubt that you have had some races who are in agreement or have been duped by her, to have left these proceedings.
There will also be those who fear reprisals from the Cflen should they side with the Humana. That drum, dark matter weapon is an effective deterrent AND persuasive. Fear. A show of force by the Cflen, before the Judiciary make their final decision?“ Holli nodded.
“Watch the one they call Ljne. Elite Cflen. Like Ariel but I suspect she is the one who with the power. " "So most at the assembly think the balance of power to stop them making a decision on them being declared Hostiles lies in the Cflen’s hands. That I may have to show them is where they and the Cflen are wrong."
Ljne had been confident. VERY confident. Aboard one of the Cflen vessels Bienck had returned. Her forces had trashed the palacial. Aware of the invasion of Cflenia, the enemy beaten back!
Bienck wallowed in the attack on the palacial. Now she was wanting to be on the offensive again. News had leaked to her about this spawn of the BEAST and his vessel the Raptor?
Ariel had tried to appease her. “I will get Miriasii to trigger the relay device to land you and the other Regens onboard Raptor, but make sure you seize it without delay! Secure it then bring the Ka the BEAST to me. Block all transmissions from it, we do not want the Judiciary aware or any other races. The BEAST is not to be harmed, What you do with the rest of the BEAST aboard that vessel I leave up to you."
"We can use the Urks." "Miriasii will ensure they, are positioned for your use." (To travel between two points of what is known as 'commonality' the Cflen rely upon 'Urks'. Short transfer devices. Effectively deployed, the speed of the transfer between relay devices, renders detection almost invisible.
Nathan had taken Dee’s advice before leaving Raptor. Full alert with the token arrays armed and monitoring the area around Raptor. His sister and Trime had arrived. "Don't worry about him Trime, you know what he's like! Spoiling for a fight does not help. They boarded to convey other news to him on his return? Miriasii had positioned the Urks, deploying them?
Unknown to the Cflen Raptors internal security systems had picked up the activation. They tracked the origin of the signal. “Miriasii’s quarters! Secure the area NOW!“ “Seems to me brother, we’re just in time.“ She turned to grin at Trime.
They grabbed the weapons.
"Where can we find this Miriasii." Nathan did not answer. It would soon become apparent as to why NOT! "Dees!"
"Your quarters." Nathan ran off! "Good idea brother! Put the bitch in my quarters!!" She glared at Trime.
“Listen up! That bitch has my quarters so no trashing is permitted you understand!“ Trime giggled swishing her tail.
“I know that look bitch! I am so going to kick his ass for letting it have my quarters! For now, he can wait until this is all over!“
