Chapter Fifteen

Morag Commander Kano had briefly stopped in a nearby system to recharge his hyperdrives. He assumed the Human fleet would be in the last uninhabited system he had left to check. He wanted to be ready and able to follow them. Kano knew he couldn’t waste much time, or he risked the chance of missing the Humans. So as soon as the hyperdrives of his three battlecruisers and his battleship had enough time to recharge, he ordered his ships back into hyperspace. He would be near enough to the target system within the next thirty minutes to run long-range scans to see if the Humans were, indeed, where Morag Admiral Voxx suspected them to be.

As soon as Kano’s ships were able, the long-range scans began.

The sensor operator stated, Commander Kano, our scans show over two hundred ships in the red giant system. It looks like we’ve found them!

Kano replied, Indeed, we have. I will contact Admiral Voxx immediately.

After speaking with Voxx, Kano knew he must ensure to not lose the Human fleet. That would be a little tricky. He could keep them on the scans as he neared the system but couldn’t actually follow them unless he dropped out of hyperspace as the Humans left the system.

As luck would have it, when his small group of ships neared the red giant system, the scans showed the Humans beginning to enter hyperspace. Let’s exit hyperspace into the red giant system on the far side. Then we will follow the last Human ships back into hyperspace.

All the Morag in the Command Center were a little anxious. If they exited too soon, the Humans would destroy them. If they exited too late, they’d lose the Humans.

As the Morag warships exited hyperspace, the last few remaining Human ships were entering hyperspace. Follow them! Kano said, with a smile. He had them now!

Admiral Collison had his fleet ready to enter hyperspace. They were only waiting on his command. They would have a two-hour hyperspace jump to their next target. He was ready to get underway. “Billingsly, let’s go destroy some more Morag targets.”

Billingsly smiled and said, “Yes, Admiral.”

The fleet began to enter hyperspace. They had thankfully had enough time to do some needed minor repairs and maintenance. Now it was time to get back to their mission.

Collison took a sip of his steaming cup of coffee, swallowed, drew in a deep breath. Collison enjoyed the smell of a fresh cup of coffee. It helped heighten his senses. It also reminded him of home. He took in another deep breath and savored the aroma. He could almost fool himself for a moment, picturing himself on his back porch back home, enjoying the view. It had been a long time since he had sat in his chair on that porch. He looked forward to doing it again. Hopefully within the next couple months, they could get this war with the Confederation wrapped up, and he could return home to enjoy some downtime.

Collison was interrupted from his thoughts of home by Billingsly.
