A staff officer taps on the door and is let in by the trooper standing guard. He has a worried look on his face as he approaches the man gazing out the window.

Officer: Admiral Bouexic, may I have a word, sir?

Bouexic: I take it you have news from Ceres.

Officer: Yes sir. I heard there were some grumblings among the higher-ups, regarding what we don't know yet. But the Marsians left in a hurry.

Bouexic looked at the officer without any hint of surprise.

Officer: Sir, if I may, the UAC might be having problems keeping everything together. It may be wise to augment the task force.

Bouexic looked away before answering.

Bouexic: The battle for Neo Earth will decide the fate of Earth. Prometheus will prove a deadly and worthy foe. We are needed here if things go wrong, and they can.

The officer knows that the discussion is over. He gives a salute and takes takes leave.

Meanwhile, the task force onboard 6 specially-equipped Venators takes off from Hybridland bound for the AIF home islands, where it will rendezvous with the rest of the Surface Force, probably the biggest and strongest fleet ever assembled in living memory.
