“Good morning, Admiral,” the voice on the comlink said. “Are you alone?”

Ackbar was momentarily taken aback. “I—Yes, go ahead.”

“There’s something you should know before you talk to the commander,” Drayson said. “Nil Spaar gave her his answer a little while ago, and it was what she wanted to hear—that most of them are gone. But he never transmitted the list home.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I don’t know what he did send, but it was far too short to have been the list. And there’s been no reply.”

“Does this mean that he is lying—or that he already knew where they are?”

“It may only mean he had all the records he needed already at hand. It’s impossible to say.”

“You should be telling Leia this, not me.”

“You know that’s not possible. She’s set on playing by the rules.”

“So what do I tell the general?” Ackbar said, his voice rising in exasperation. “The Fifth sails in less than forty hours.”

“You’ll have a fight on your hands before that happens,” said Drayson. “But tell him to be very, very careful.”
