for the 'listening audience'.
    "I completely understand, Admiral," the woman replied.
    "Now, as for your safety; can you make it to one of our construction projects local to you? You can get shelter there until we can retrieve you," Ian said but shook he head. "I'd send a team directly for you," he was nodding now, "but, we don't have anyone available at this moment." He typed on his keyboard and brought up Cindy's official Terran Defense Force Identification so she could see it on her screen.
    She smiled and typed 'I can read lips'. "I don't think I can, Admiral. I appreciate the offer, but I doubt I will even leave the building alive. I knew telling you was a death sentence. I don't plan on giving those fools the satisfaction. For what it's worth Admiral, I feel you are doing a great service for our people. I just wish I could have been as effective." She was acting depressed and suicidal, setting up the situation for Cindy and her team. "If I could ask a boon of you, I would have you make arrangements for my Luciano." She forced a tear out.
    "You have a son?" Ian asked.
    She shook her head sadly. "No, Luciano is my cat. My one vanity; I bought him as a kitten. He is a rare breed; Egyptian Mau. He has been a good friend over the years. He deserves to be taken care of."
    "I will see what we can do, Miss Shapiro. It's the least we can do for your warning," Ian replied.
    "Now that you know, what will you do?" she asked.
    "I'll need to speak to my intelligence and operations people, but we will deal with them. It might have to wait until after the battle we are preparing for, but we will find a way to correct this issue. Busting drug dealers is one thing, but dealing with corrupt organizations is another; we simply don't have the resources for that at the moment," Ian lied. "I thank you for the warning, it'll keep us from making a huge mistake at a time when we need to focus on protecting the people."
    "This is Officer Lissa Dancer of the Raptor Damocles . I now have control of the monitoring devices in the room. Miss Shapiro, please move over to your office door while open one of your windows," Lissa said over the connection.
    "That was fast! I was running out of stuff to say. I am curious though, how are you going to stage my suicide?" Shapiro asked.
    "Magic," Cindy replied as she stepped through the window and into the room. As she left the Damocles ' cloaking field, she became visible. "Miss Shapiro, if you will accompany me, we can stage the scene. I'm sure you don't want to see what we are going to do in here."
    "Cindy, you'll need to stop by her house and get her cat, Luciano. He needs to come too," Ian said.
    "I love cats!" Cindy replied. "Will do."
     
     
    "Sir, Major Eischens is on the comm for you; he says it's urgent," Alex said.
    "Thanks Alex," Ian replied and opened the comm once again. "What's up Ike?"
    "Sir, do you remember we tagged one of the Caldarian freighters so we could figure out where it was going?" the man replied. He looked very concerned about this, and that made Ian uneasy; Major Eischens was Ian's chief intelligence officer.
    "Yeah, they were in one of the dwarf galaxies just outside our own, right?" Ian asked.
    "Yes Sir, although it got put on the back burner so to speak, we have been monitoring them. Two weeks ago, they began massing their ships in one place. I was preparing a report on it for you once we figured out what they were doing, since it was unclear. Now we know; they were preparing to leave. The entire fleet of ships jumped to hyperspace this morning," Eischens replied.
    "If they were running out of food, that stands to reason I guess. So why are you so worried about it?" Ian asked.
    "We plotted their course. Five Super-Nova class, and about a hundred and fifty assorted smaller vessels will be arriving here, just inside Uranus' orbit, but on the far side of the sun, in roughly three months," Eischens explained. "Sir, I checked with Mrs. Laskar already; this isn't the force she saw, but
