Chapter Twelve

Leon looked at Mitch Mitchells as he stared at the Probe in the center of the Rover’s display. “What can you determine about that probe?”

Mitch kept his eyes on the display, “It is not very far behind our technology and is slightly ahead of the probes used by those yellow colored beings. The field it uses is not derived from dark energy but from a polarizing energy source that allows it to see through the field but not allow anything outside it to see it.”

“How are you able to see it?”

“The field we use filters out the polarization. It is also armed with a blaster.” Mitch paused and squinted at the data readout, “I don’t think it’s strong enough to penetrate our defenses. I won’t know for sure unless it takes a shot at something.”

Leon looked at the display and rolled his head down to the level of the display, “Do you think the probe’s creators are more advanced than the yellow beings?”

“Not really. This polarizing energy is nowhere near as strong as the force fields on the blue ships. They’re close…but not as powerful.”

“That means they think they have overwhelming numbers.”

Mitch looked up from the display, “How do you come up with that?”

“They’re here. That has to mean they think they can take on the blue ships. If they’re not as strong, they have to have a larger number to make up for the difference.”

Mitch thought about it and looked back at the display, “You may be right. However, according to the scans we made of the Yellow Civilization, they have millions of ships.”

“Think about it, Mitch. Would you send sixty thousand probes into a galaxy to spy on a civilization if it was more powerful than your own?”

Mitch took in a breath and blew it out, “No, I might send in a few to spy on their main planet and I’d make sure the probe couldn’t be seen.”

“Yet there are more than sixty thousand here. They are mapping their targets.” Leon paused, “How long before you cut off their communications?”

“The last of our probes arrived yesterday and we think we have all of them accounted for. Admiral Arvolo will make the call on when we shut them down.”

“What do you think they will do when that happens?”

“Higher command thinks the intruders will send a ship to investigate. Once it arrives, we’ll stop preventing them from communicating.”

“Who will follow the ship?”

Mitch shrugged, “If I had to guess, I suspect it will be us.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Because you are the leader of the Matadors and Admiral Arvolo would trust you to do it without causing a problem. I hear he thinks highly of your father.”

Leon’s head rolled up his body and he stared at the display. He really hoped Mitch was right.

Dat waited on his Rover and heard a message come in from General Anderson, “We’ve not been able to find any more probes, Admiral.”

Dat nodded and looked at his panel, “Loree, contact the Yellow Being.”
