“I apologize for interrupting, Raas.”

I brushed off my majak’s apology as we strode through the ship. “You did not interrupt.”

He glanced at me pointedly. I knew it was not lost on my most trusted advisor that I’d been in none of the gear I’d had when I’d left the command deck earlier. He’d waited for me to change back into my battle kilt and boots, handing me my battle axe as I’d joined him at the door.

“Does the human know Zindar?” He asked as we leapt from one suspended platform to another, the steel rattling beneath our heavy boots.

“I was teaching her.”

Ayden grunted, but I could hear the questioning tone in the sound. “You still maintain that the prisoner is leverage, nothing more?”

“Nothing more.” The words were bitter on my lips, but I didn’t allow myself to dwell on them as we took a wide metal staircase two tall steps at a time and entered the command deck.

“Report,” I called as I took my position overlooking the dark consoles and the Vandar raiders standing at them. “Have we heard from the Valox?”

Heels snapped together as my warriors saluted me.

“Not yet, Raas.” My communications chief swiveled to face me, his expression tense. “No transmissions from Valox or Vandar.”

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.

“We have detected movements of various ships on long-range scanners,” 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. “What type of movements?”

“From what I can tell, they are assuming defensive positions around planets.”

I growled. It was as I’d 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. “It isn’t wise to keep the horde here while our opponents ready for an attack.”

“I agree, Raas.” Kaiven exchanged a glance with my majak. “I recommend moving us to another location.”

“Move the rest of the horde,” I said. “Have them disperse and stay invisible. We will stay and wait for the Vandar.”

My battle chief’s brow furrowed. “One ship to take on another Vandar horde?”

“Our horde is fast,” I reminded him. “They will come join the fight when we need them.”

Ayden nodded. “The other Vandar might not be expecting us to have broken our horde. We could surround them.”

I stared out the wide glass that overlooked space. The blackness was peaceful and empty, but I knew the dangers the sector held—and all that was hidden.

“You have your orders,” I told Kaiven.

“It is done.” He tapped his heels again before striding back to his console.

“Without our horde, we will not be able to confuse our enemy with our amoeba formation,” Ayden said in a low voice.

“Our enemy invented the amoeba.
