"Admiral, I have a priority signal on your personal channel. It's from the Polaris: 'Have exited warp near Ceres, am approaching under cloak and requesting a UAC escort. Will report when Mrs. Hodston and company have safely arrived. Polaris out.'"

Hodston smiles a grim but relived smile, the first good news of the day. "Good, hopefully she won't need to stay up there for too long, but right now it's the safest place in the star system, possibly even the galaxy itself. Are the mines deployed yet?"

A lieutenant reports: "Yes admiral, any ships trying to get in or out will be blown to Pittshaven!"

"Good."
