the couple could not reproduce even under ideal circumstances.
    She thought about how beautiful their baby would be. He would have his mother’s starry eyes and would share their features equally.
    Marian saw the way Aurora was regarding her and looked away. She knew what was going through the tiny woman’s head, and though she had come to terms with being childless, it was still a subject that she did not like. “Aury, bunkers. Remember?” she said and Aurora snapped to attention.
    “Oh, Rhee, see, we wanted to ask a favor. I wanted to see if we can hang out in the agency during the fight. To be near family in the end.”
    If it were anyone else, Marian would not have it, but she knew Aurora and understood her need to be around them. “Get inside, you hyper little bug,” she commanded and shook her head at the skip and dance the woman did in response. As he followed his wife, Velman rested a hand on Marian’s shoulder and mouthed the words, “Thank you.”
    When they were gone Marian looked around at the Phaser grounds and the buildings in the distance. It was quiet in a way that made her skin crawl, and instinctively she brought up her rifle and walked with it at the ready. In the distance a loud BOOM broke the silence as Yuth’s whyte—a Louine ship that resembled a manta ray from the sea—lifted off the ground and rocketed skyward towards Rafian’s phantom.
    “Well, now it begins,” she said under her breath and skipped over to the entrance of the Phaser agency. She pushed open the doors, ran to her right, and descended the ramp to reach the war room. Standing in front of a large, floating hologram of the planet was Dott, her feet shoulder-width apart and her hands in the small of her back like a commander at the helm of a massive destroyer.
    “Don’t you look the part,” she remarked at Dott who unconsciously placed her feet back together. She slammed her fist above her heart and bowed her head in a salute. Marian returned the gesture and said, “I count over two hundred of those crutas waiting us out.”
    “Way too many for seven soldiers, that’s for sure,” Dott said, her voice carrying a solemn tone, as if she expected the worst.
    “Seven soldiers, Dott? Not quite. Up there flies my husband, our Supreme Leader. He singlehandedly won us this plot of land against hundreds if not thousands of Geralos zip ships. Yuth Varience is regarded as the greatest Louine warrior that has ever lived. You know his records; the man could fly circles around anyone in both this galaxy and mine. Then you have Tayden, who is known as the second coming of Hellgate—”
    “And Camille YAN,” Dott said quickly. “I called Rafian my hero, but Camille is the woman that every girl in the Alliance wishes to be when she grows up. I’ll never forget watching her run on the Geralos city of Heron. Seems like ages ago, back when I was a green cadet, just trying to be the best soldier that I could be.”
    “But then you proved to be better than anyone else in your troop, didn’t you?” Marian said. “It is why we brought you here to become a Phaser. We were all soldiers at one point in our careers, Dott, but that is not our reality now as Phasers. The closest things the Geralos have managed to match our mettle, is the Crak-Ti. So don’t look at the odds as if they’re so heavily out of our favor.”
    She turned her attention again to the map and looked at the varying models of ships. “This one here’s the mother ship,” she pointed out. “They intend to drop brain-biters on us while Rafian and the fighters are shooting it out with their distraction drones. Does he know—”
    “He has the same map as we do, Marian. The Commander is on his game.”
    Marian stood for a time, watching the map, and trying to calm her nerves over the entire situation. “I like you, Dott,” she finally said.
    “I like you too, Rhee, and, I’m sorry. We’re all on edge over this invasion, but the Commander will come through. He
