Battle in Orbit

Wednesday, August 24th

For Ralgwin and Grevanas to contact the group via normal transmission meant that they had to be somewhere within range, and so Ruth and Clan immediately began working together to track down the source of their signal.

“We’ve traced it to one of six possible points of origin, but I’m afraid that’s all we can tell you without knowing what kind of communication system they’re using,” Ruth reported, sharing her findings just seconds after the transmission ended.

There were nearly twenty signal sources within range, and the girls had narrowed it down to six. Without knowing how the signal in question was transmitted, however, they couldn’t narrow it down any further. Laser-based, magical, and spiritual energy comms all worked differently. They might be able to find out more by investigating the six locations, but there was no time for that.

“For them to let us narrow down their location so easily... Could this be another trap?” Clan mused. She was concerned about what their findings might mean.

“The goal of their last attack might have been to make us second guess ourselves,” Kiriha replied. The same thought had crossed her mind.

There was a possibility this was a trap, but there was also a possibility that the enemy was hiding in one of those six locations. So should Koutarou and the girls attack, or should they stay on their guard? After what had just happened, they were racking their brains—which might have been exactly what the enemy wanted. With magic at his disposal now, Ralgwin could play such mind games with Koutarou and the girls.

We’re usually the ones taking advantage of such tactics to pressure our opponent, but now our enemy is capable of doing the same. We need to be careful...

Despite knowing the enemy wanted her to fear them, Kiriha was wary of traps. As a clever tactician herself, she knew all too well the dangers of proceeding recklessly.

“We also can’t spend too long deciding our next move, or they might simply make their exit while we’re doing nothing,” Harumi warned everyone, pointing out a critical aspect of the situation they’d all missed. A bolt of tension shot through the bridge.

“That might be exactly what they’re after!” Koutarou started to panic.

Ralgwin’s goal was to return to Forthorthe, but if he warped in Earth’s orbit, the Forthorthian fleet could simply follow him. In fact, Clan’s Hazy Moon had sensors to detect the space-time distortions around the planet. If he tried to flee without any countermeasures, he would give himself away immediately. That was why he needed to attack and stall the Forthorthians. He was lying in wait for exactly that... but if Koutarou and the girls never came after him, he could just drift away for a couple of days under the radar, then warp once he was out of detection range. That way, the Forthorthian fleet would have no idea where he went, leaving them in a quandary. Koutarou and the girls needed to find Ralgwin before that happened.

“Curse you, Ralgwin.
