Snippet #2554606

The Reverence S Bloodraven continued to run in full phased stealth mode until it could re-position away from the UDW Vessels, and lose their target acquisition. But that had to eventually jump out of phase so they could receive their signal from the Imperial Fleet.

The Transphasic Array activated once more, this time in a much different part of the zone, activating just in time to receive a subspace reply from the Aschen Fleet.

"Signal acknowledged, sending response, ETA One half Centar."

The Simple Text Message from the Imperial Fleet signified their response, and given the proximity to Aschen holdings in Epsilon Eridani, and the TNG Demilitarized Zone, there would no doubt be an inevitable response from the Aschen Fleet. But the Empire had to mobilize a response, and so it would take time before anyone reached this particular sector of space.

And so the Command and the Staff of the Bloodraven watched in silence at the two mated ships, and the Commander made a face. "They're plotting something..." He said, bringing up an enhanced view through the Transphasic array.

"How long until the response fleet arrives?" He asked, and the Lieutenant frowned.

"Three Millicentons."

The Commander nodded. "Defense fleet?" And the AI Nodded in the affirmative. The Aschen Defense fleet was a fleet of sufficient strength to repel potential threats to the Empire. "Either Defense or Sacred Consecration." The Lieutenant replied.
