They will pose no threat now.”
    “They are allying themselves with you, Mighty Garrinoras. I do not think this alliance would be possible without your leadership.” Captain Xia added.
    Yartan began again, “My intelligence reports that several ships have left Kaldor. I think they are headed here to support the Battle Hammers . They have left in groups of three or four headed in several different directions. The official reason is that they are envoys seeking to add to their pitiful alliance, but I believe them all to be headed here. Our problem is that because of the manner in which they are leaving and returning to the Kaldorian system, we have no idea how many they will deploy.
    “That is no doubt a diversion thought up by Colonel Marcos,” Garrinoras replied, clearly frustrated. “They must know about the reinforcements we have coming to make sure that Ginderbar cannot extract Endeavor . As of now, we will have the Retribution in orbit over Chawanas with our entire fleet and our Pandaran allies. We will also be ready to accommodate the Farannsian defectors giving us one hundred three ships at Chawanas. Yartan, you will be coordinating that effort.
    “Captain Trae-bar, you will be outside the system in your flagship, the Closed Fist , with the fleet groups from Jar-Karga, Taglaharn and the Banijard. That would give you one hundred five ships to reinforce us should a battle occur. That should be more than enough to keep Ginderbar busy. A prolonged battle will cause even more worlds to send in reinforcements, which will begin the very war they are trying so hard to avoid if they stay and continue to fight. Lastly, Captain Xia, you will take the fleets from Zinnebulous along with the Xenul and Salvarians to Ginderbar. Let us see how long their two hundred ships remain at Chawanas with over a hundred enemy vessels at their doorstep.”
    Captain Trae-bar’s communicator buzzed and he knew it was important so he answered it. He spoke quietly into his communicator while Garrinoras and Captain Yartan watched him and then he relayed what he had just been told. “Good news, the preliminary numbers are in, we are going to make enough money selling the vid rights of the death match to purchase close to ninety ships.”
    “That is good news. We will begin our conquest of the Lawless Sector then. It looks like Colonel Marcos has helped us after all.” He once again thought about how good it would feel to kill the hated human with his bare hands.

    Suzy watched Endeavor’s crew boarding to leave Kaldor for Chawanas. Sergeant Rivada’s additional soldiers were coming aboard and Josiah was on hand to show them to their quarters and help them settle in. They brought quite a bit of gear and she had to wonder if they knew that the likelihood that they would be able to use even half of that gear was hovering around zero. Still, she couldn’t fault them for wanting to be prepared. She noticed that Josiah had taken quite an interest in Sergeant Rivada, as Jesse had predicted he would, following the Pandaran incident. Jesse was currently sleeping after training until he dropped the previous night. He had already said his goodbyes to the Valinors and the Chairman. Collin was showing Cassie’s team to their quarters and was cringing the whole way as both Sibbie and Teha would not leave him alone. He could tell Bessa was not pleased and he could also tell that Josiah, Reece and Wennagal seemed to be enjoying his dilemma.
    “Ladies, you do know I’m with someone, right?” Collin asked in frustration.
    “Of course we do,” Teha responded playfully.
    “But nothing lasts forever,” Sibbie added with a flirtatious laugh.
    “Well, I’m in love with Bessa, why don’t you go hassle Reece or Lenk or one of the soldiers. I’m sure they would all love to spend time with you.”
    “It’s a long trip, Lieutenant, there will be plenty of time for that,” Teha replied as she slipped her arm inside of his. Thankfully,
