âI apologize for interrupting, Raas.â
I brushed off my majakâs apology as we strode through the ship. âYou did not interrupt.â
He glanced at me pointedly. I knew it was not lost on my most trusted advisor that Iâd been in none of the gear Iâd had when Iâd left the command deck earlier. Heâd waited for me to change back into my battle kilt and boots, handing me my battle axe as Iâd joined him at the door.
âDoes the human know Zindar?â He asked as we leapt from one suspended platform to another, the steel rattling beneath our heavy boots.
âI was teaching her.â
Ayden grunted, but I could hear the questioning tone in the sound. âYou still maintain that the prisoner is leverage, nothing more?â
âNothing more.â The words were bitter on my lips, but I didnât allow myself to dwell on them as we took a wide metal staircase two tall steps at a time and entered the command deck.
âReport,â I called as I took my position overlooking the dark consoles and the Vandar raiders standing at them. âHave we heard from the Valox?â
Heels snapped together as my warriors saluted me.
âNot yet, Raas.â My communications chief swiveled to face me, his expression tense. âNo transmissions from Valox or Vandar.â
I crossed my arms over my chest and nodded. I had not expected an instantaneous response, but the longer we went without communications, the greater the chance that there was a reason for the delay.
âWe have detected movements of various ships on long-range scanners,â my battle chief said, gripping the hilt of his battle axe as he joined me and Ayden on the platform.
I inclined my head to acknowledge Kaiven as he clicked his heels together. âWhat type of movements?â
âFrom what I can tell, they are assuming defensive positions around planets.â
I growled. It was as Iâd suspected. The Valox had warned others of our arrival, and the sector was bracing for a battle or attacks. I braced my legs wide and rested my hands on my hips. âIt isnât wise to keep the horde here while our opponents ready for an attack.â
âI agree, Raas.â Kaiven exchanged a glance with my majak. âI recommend moving us to another location.â
âMove the rest of the horde,â I said. âHave them disperse and stay invisible. We will stay and wait for the Vandar.â
My battle chiefâs brow furrowed. âOne ship to take on another Vandar horde?â
âOur horde is fast,â I reminded him. âThey will come join the fight when we need them.â
Ayden nodded. âThe other Vandar might not be expecting us to have broken our horde. We could surround them.â
I stared out the wide glass that overlooked space. The blackness was peaceful and empty, but I knew the dangers the sector heldâand all that was hidden.
âYou have your orders,â I told Kaiven.
âIt is done.â He tapped his heels again before striding back to his console.
âWithout our horde, we will not be able to confuse our enemy with our amoeba formation,â Ayden said in a low voice.
âOur enemy invented the amoeba.
