The USNiE fleet arrives back at Rouen after the aborting of Operation: Duke of Normandy. But the stay isn't for long.

"Hail Commodore Marcks at central control," Admiral Stark ordered.

The view screen came up with the image of Rouens control center.

"Admiral", Commodore Marcks, CO in the absence of Stark and the other admirals, began, "I was disappointed when I heard Duke of Normandy was aborted."

"We all are, but we have bigger fish to fry. Has Shamshel returned from the Neo-Earth system?"

"Yes," Marcks replied, "Zemenu and the Baltic League remnant force has officially requested assistance in evacuating their Caelmare bases."

"We're gonna do more than that. The admirals and I agree that we must aid in the defense of humanity against the Sith invasion. You'll be in command until we return, your orders are to expand the asteroid mining, continue the conversion of the Angel prototypes, Adam and Lilith to front-line units, and begin the Longinus program. Understood?"

"Yes, sir. When do you expect you'll be leaving?"

"Imediately."
