quarter rotation.”
The Controller said, “Notify the Swarm of our arrival time.”
He continued to watch his display and heard his communication controller send the message behind him. He wondered if the enemy would attack in his absence. He sighed and decided that it was no longer his problem. The order had come from the Royal Court and he had no option but to obey. If the enemy came, someone else would have to handle it.

“Sir, twenty thousand of the advanced Grogat Ships are moving away from the planet.”
“How many?”
“Twenty thousand, Sir.”
“Notify the Admiral!”
Thomas Gardner received the message and smiled. Only sixty thousand warships remained in orbit and half of them were not modified to the new beam technology. The attack needed to be moved up a week. He pulled up the training reports on Duke Robbins’ Company and saw the scores from the electronic facility. They were impossible. It appeared the company was superior to any unit in the two divisions. Should he use them against the Grogat Weapons Plant? He leaned back in his chair and struggled with the decision. What finally pushed him was the realization that if any other officer other than the Duke commanded the unit. there would be no hesitation. He had to do the right thing for the other warriors dropping on the planet. He sighed and said to himself, “I’m sorry, Jon.” He sent the orders and knew their chance of survival was low.

Sam received the massive data from fleet and queried the system to see if his company was included in the attack profile. He found it and felt his heart go into his throat. They were dropping in on the main weapons plant. Were they ready?
“Captain Haines. Is the transport ready for action?”
“We’ve been released by the construction crews. I’m taking her out for a trial run at this moment.”
“She’ll have to do that later, Captain. We’ve been called up and I need you here to pick us up.”
There was silence and after a long pause Sam heard, “We’re on our way, Sir.”
Sam hit the general frequency, “All Life Warriors in Alpha Company, general quarters. We will be going into combat and this is not a drill. Prepare for boarding and perform your weapon’s check.”
“What’s going down, Sam?”
“Dort, the attack on the Grogat is forming up. We’re going with the elite warriors to take the Weapons Plant. Get your platoon ready.”

Jixie went into Sam’s command system and saw what their objective was and smiled. Whoa, this was going to be fun. She smiled and then thought about Jennifer and Sam. Would they be able to survive? She put the thought aside and felt her heart beat faster. At long last the playtime was starting. This was why she left home. She focused on her armor and felt it come to life. This was a great toy. Gon looked across the field and saw Jixie with the biggest smile. Was she crazy? He put the thought aside and focused on the trace. Soon he was smiling as well. Perhaps she wasn’t crazy.
The four platoons felt their armor become a part of them. The joy of that connection filled them as they waited for their transport to arrive.
Captain Roy G. Haines set the coordinates and felt the transport around him. He smiled and pressed the teleport button. Now he would see if the wild selection of weapons made any sense. The ship was singing at the coming mission and the song was glorious.

Sam sent a priority code to Admiral Gardner. “I’m sorry, Your Grace. I need your unit at the plant.”
“That’s not why I’m calling, Admiral. I’ve thought about your time frames and I think they won’t work.”
“What do you mean?”
“The city has more than twelve million Grogat living there. What do you think they’ll do when they learn we’re attacking their fleet?” Admiral Gardner didn’t say anything. “They’ll drop everything and mass around the weapons plant. By the time you defeat their fleet, there
