Several agonizing hours later, the final tally came in. Of the fifty ships, nearly a two hundred thousand Vyysarri, only twenty thousand chose to follow him. That meant only three ships would accompany his. The entire time, he was fielding questions about the proof, and he insisted that they would simply have to trust him, but showing them the proof would condemn them to death. Many of them didn’t like that answer and he knew that that was the reason many of them refused to follow him. It saddened him to see so many abandon his campaign, but they had to choose their own paths; he couldn’t do it for them.

At the end, he stood on the bridge of his ship and watched the exodus unfold. It was a frantic and chaotic buzz of shuttles going from one ship to another as people fled the vessels designated to leave with Sibrex. He felt a pang of regret for the flight control officers trying to orchestrate the madness he watched out the front viewer.

Within another six hours, the personnel transfers were complete. All those who didn’t want to go were loaded up into their respective ships and sent on their way. The remaining four ships hung back and watched their comrades go home. When all the ships left the belt and made the jump, Sibrex started making arrangements and ordered his warriors to start forming retrieval parties to collect the families of those crewmembers who decided to take the plunge.

Sibrex walked over to the communications station and scanned the picture. He then sent it to the other ships and ordered their captains to broadcast it to every screen on their ships. With the Truth being broadcasted throughout the small fleet, all their worlds would be crashing down on them, just like it did for him.

When the laundry list of names and addresses of the families came in, Sibrex sent out his warriors to get them. He decided to narrow it down one ship at a time. When all the families of that ship were retrieved, he would send it to the colony starting with his ship. Then he would jump back and pilot the next ship to the coordinates when the crew’s families were aboard. That way only he knew the coordinates to the colony and he wouldn’t have to share them with anyone.
