don’t think there’s going to be a problem.”
    The Griffin-like alien nodded its head as it watched
the wall-mounted displays intently. “ Good.
Very good ,” it said via a small headset that acted as a translator, for the
Preema had no armor on given its position as guest onboard the Star Force ship.
    “Looks like that observers are keeping their distance,”
Oro noted dryly. “The Nexus fleet is falling into alignment and reiterates that
they’ll stay with us to the edge of their territory…after which they’ll say
goodbye and good riddance.”
    “I assume you’re paraphrasing?”
    “Reading between the lines on the second part.”
    “I don’t doubt your deduction.”
    “ Did you expect
them to travel the full distance to your Preserve? ” the Preema asked.
    “That would be prudent,” Nefron agreed, “but their
willingness of only escorting us through their territory says that they’re
eager to be done with this matter and return their fleet to other uses. Even
though it’s their capitol, I don’t think they’ll keep it so well guarded
without the Uriti present.”
    “ We will not
conduct ourselves in a similar manner ,” the quadruped promised. “ We will see it through the entire journey
assuming this one goes well .”
    “It will on the Uriti’s part. I can’t guarantee
anything regarding outside interference.”
    “ It is the Hamoriti’s
part that concerns me. We will have enough ships to guarantee security .”
    “Jumpline,” Oro insisted, with Nefron nodding his
agreement. While the ship’s crew had remote control of the transport pod they
weren’t going to do anything with it without the Chixzon’s approval for fear of
disrupting their extremely dangerous cargo.
    With the order given, the crew began moving the
transport out to the jumppoint and orchestrating the escort fleets to match
with about half the Star Force ships preceding it along with what were assumed
to be KoQ ships while the rest of them and the masses of observers were to
follow behind. The Zeus took up
position just in front of the transport and had it following in its wake as
they made the jump out to the star and repositioned around to the interstellar
jumpline.
    From there they exited without incident, traveling the
first of 4 legs until they came to a grid point where an even larger ship
cradled the transport in its grasp while the host of Star Force ships and
observers were loaded up into other mag drive jumpships that had been assembled
for just this task. One by one they shot off the gigantic dish like a slingshot
and headed across Nexus territory far faster than grav drives could take them, let alone the slow crawl of a Uriti’s natural speed.

 
    “ You have done
well ,” the Preema told Nefron as they both watched the new Uriti fly across
the Alamo System and rendezvous with its two kin. They grouped together and
began exchanging a lot of telepathic communication, once again reinforcing the
fact that they weren’t going to start fighting each other, making it clear that
the Preserve was a viable option for dealing with the threat they posed.
    “We’ve done what was necessary.”
    “ At great cost
for little visible reimbursement should you never utilize their combat
capability. ”
    “It is necessary.”
    “ Agreed, but we will
not be as ungrateful as The Nexus. You will be compensated for taking this
burden off us .”
    “You are granting your approval then?”
    “ I am.
Construction will begin as soon as I return. What is the best means for us to
deliver suitable compensation? ”
    “I have a few suggestions, but those matters will be
handled by one of the Dukes or trailblazers.”
    “ Of course. Is
there anything you personally require? ”
    “Knowledge of where the other Uriti are.”
    “ We have already
told you what we know, but we will search for leads. Star Force has a
reputation for trustworthiness. It would be best if all the Hamoriti were
deposited here. Others would not hold to
