Admiral Conley had made his decision the moment before Abos had begun his flight towards the aircraft carrier. He hesitated for a moment before giving the order, hating himself for what he was about to do. Could he fire on seven unarmed individuals?

Conley's long, successful career in the US Navy owed much to his ability to make difficult, complicated decisions under pressure. He was calm and decisive in a crisis.

But, ultimately, like any soldier, he obeyed orders. The integrity of the entire military structure hung on that principle. His orders were to recapture the titans and their kidnappers and, if that was not possible, wipe them out.

There were three titans on what was left of the Liberace. Three titans and four people. His orders were clear, and they came from the Commander-in-Chief.

His hesitation meant he missed his best shot.

As the biggest titan rose from the Liberace, carrying a body, a torpedo left the Smithwatson to finish the container ship. Conley ordered the launch of two Seasparrows. The missiles were designed to counter supersonic attacks and high-G manoeuvring low velocity targets. They would take care of the approaching titan.

He bowed his head when he'd done it. Maybe it was time to retire, go home to Mary, buy that ranch they'd always talked about.

"May God have mercy on our souls," Conley whispered.
