On Eden's flight deck. The Storm SP said: "Administrators, we'll come to a full stop in 'minus' ten minutes. I see Warships ahead in their hundreds of thousands. Our shields are currently receiving power from four internal Infinity Batteries, and the graviton shield lattice is supported by our entire Infinity Battery powered fleet. As per revised arrival protocol, I expect to be attacked, and am ready, so let's see what happens next."

Matt thought to Adara: "Last chance, Adara. Is this confrontation what you really want?"

Adara replied into Matt's mind: "Both Humans and Morfin need to see an end to this situation, and now is that time. If we don't do this, the future for both species will be filled with regret on our side and the fear of not knowing what the future holds, for theirs. I have communicated on a wideband signal with Ct Far on his flagship, and he has agreed to parley. I'm leaving now."

Sharon was not privy to the silent conversation and said: "Storm, is that Adara I see leaving? Can you track her to target, please?"

Storm answered by centring Adara's retreating form on the main screen and overlaying a red circle around her black attired body.

Matt said: "It feels odd not to be standing in the BCC. It's where I always belonged in battle."

Storm said: "Times have changed. We're no longer in a fight for our lives. Things have seriously turned around for us. We are the aggressor on this occasion, and your rightful place is now Administrator. The BCC is not really needed anymore, and we all know Adara is the right person for the job out there. That's the main thing, right?"

Both Matt and Sharon nodded, and Matt answered: "Of course, you are right, Storm, but this Administrator position is the worse of the two jobs in my mind."

The remaining 'NINE' were seated around the conference table on Eden as it seemed the right place to be for the coming conflict and 'B' Sharp chose to spread itself across local space so it could warn of impending intent from the minds of those arrayed against them.

Adara floated as a tiny spec inside the wall of large SP ships that formed the network of graviton shielding enclosing Eden within her closer, fully powered Graviton force field.

This second layer of impenetrable shielding was Hymie's idea just in case the outer shield wall failed. Eden liked the idea and adopted the defensive improvement. It was accepted by all that this fleet formation was not essential since Eden's multiple Infinity Battery power upgrade, and the fleets general Infinity Battery upgrade. However, Matt believed it was always better to remain 'underestimated' by the enemy and to expect the worst from those arrayed against them.

Adara said: "Okay, I'm heading over to the Morfin flagship now. I hope I can persuade Ct Far to allow us to pass."

Matt replied: "We have you on screen, Good luck."

Adara sped off toward the Morfin lines. The distance between the two space fleets was thousands of kilometres, but this was of no concern to Adara. She powered on as if the flight was just across the room.

Ct Far ordered the fleet to a full stop at the designated coordinates that defined the border frontier. Before them, lay neutral territory all the way around the inaccessible galactic core, to the Krellen controlled spiral arm.

Behind 'Morfineater' was more than a million fully armed warships. When they deployed their respective attack craft and began firing, the heavens would see a sight previously unseen in all the histories.

Local space would witness more attack vessels in one battle than ever before. All of them targeting one enemy fleet of around thirteen hundred human warships and one mothership.
