IC:

As the AFOH fleet moves into the area they occupied after the first battle with the USN, its officers were perplexed at the absence of contact with the American fleet.

Commander: ''Variable, this is Viper. It seems the enemy has refused his flank. He might be trying to draw us into a trap."

No, Bouexic thought, Guy is too smart for that. He really believes he can win and that he is undaunted by the AFOH presence, specially now that Prometheus has tipped the balance.

Bouexic: "Negative Viper. He's refusing his flank so he can concentrate on the IKN."

Desperate times, Bouexic thought. He can see that an IKN counter-attack seemingly in the direction of H Force has been beaten back(OOC: As there was no coordination with IKN, he didn't realize it was aimed to cut off a sizable portion of the American fleet). Another drive just by the fleet will not succeed for sure, and the odds of defeating the Iron Dome have increased with the arrival of the PCV flying ships. Still, he has aces up his sleeve.

Bouexic: (to staff officer) "Have a Paladin ready to warp to H Force, and tell Tolbert to form for the attack."

Officer: "Yes sir."

Captain Norwood Tolbert, left in command of the force (as Commander Ej is with the Antarctic Task Force), immediately receives the message and orders the fleet to assume attack formation as they wait for their admiral.
