Chapter Thirty-Six

Meanwhile at each of the Alcasian Federal Military Field Command Headquarters on Berras One, Bellan One, Brican One, Bellans One, and Bestan One, Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander Nathans, Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander Henderson, Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander James, Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander Franks, and Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander Harolds transmitted the orders given through Southwest Region Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander Andrews to each combat assault groups commander.

Upon reception of the orders from the Berras Sectors, Bellan Sectors, Brican Sectors, Bellans Sectors, Bestan Sectors Alcasian Federal Military Field Command Headquarters, authentication responses which acknowledged the order.were sent from the flagships of AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-01, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-02, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-03, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-04, and AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-05.

Shortly afterwards, the Alcasian Federal Military Combat Assault Groups that comprised AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-01, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-02, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-03, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-04, and AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-05 headed towards the

Onboard the Axxenia which served as AFMCAGs Omega-01's flagship, looked around at the rest of the Alcasian Federal Military officers seated at the bridge's flight control, weapon control, scanner control, and communications console as he studied over the battle plan drawn up for the under his command headed for the Merridan Sectors' 5,000 light-year nothern edge.

At the scanner control console, Alcasian Federal Military Captain Gerrans who had a tactical view of the Merridan Sectors displayed on the scanner console's tactical display noticed a lack of Alcasian Republic Military transponder signatures.

Normally each scanner array station, communication array reception transmission station, orbital weapon platform, and orbital base would be visible to scanners. however, in the Merridan Sectors, the Alcasian Republic Military personnel onboard every orbital installation, and vessel were ordered to disable their transponders and go to quiet level one.

Alcasian Federal Military Captain Gerrans turned his attention to Alcasian Federal Military Commander Kevins seated at the command console. "Sir, scans aren't detecting any Alcasian Republic Military orbital installations or combat assault groups whatsoever."

Before Alcasian Federal Military Commander Kevins could respond, seated at the communications console with an earpiece chimed in. "Not only that, there's no chatter from any of those installations or vessels."

"So?" Alcasian Federal Military Commander Kevins repiled to his first watch bridge communications officer and first watch bridge scanner officer. "They are not expecting an attack. If they were, they would have-"

Alcasian Federal Military Captain Reyen chimed in mid-sentence. "Sir, can't raise any of our combat assault groups on any of our frequencies."

Slowly, the gravity of the situation was becoming apparent to the Alcasian Federal Military personnel onboard , their Alcasian Republic Military counterparts were being lured into a trap. However, with communications jammed, Alcasian Federal Military Captain Reyen seated at the Axxenia's bridge communications console was unable to broadcast any kind of warning.

As the 262,144,400 Alcasian Federal Military starships, cruisers, and destroyers which comprised AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-01 continued straight towards the seemingly quiet Merridan Sectors, the Alcasian Republic Military personnel onboard each scanner array station, communication array reception transmission station, orbital weapon platform, and orbital base, plus those onboard the starships, cruisers, and destroyers watched and waited to strike when the timing was right.

Over the next few days, the same situation was repeated by the Alcasian Republic Military forces in the Meddas Sectors, Merral Sectors, Messan Sectors, and Merris Sectors. As with AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-01, the Alcasian Federal Military personnel onboard the vessels comprising Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-02, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-03, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-04, and AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-05 were likewise headed into a trap.

By the morning of September 20, 90,056, each group of 262,144,400 starships, cruisers, and destroyers was within weapon's range of the Alacasian Republic Military installation's along the 25,000 light-year northern edge of the . The question for the Alcasian Republic Military personnel onboard the orbital bases and those made the aerial assault units' flight crews was this: do they attack begin to attack, thus allowing the AFM forces to know they are there, or allow them to continue as planned, then spring the trap.

Over on the Alcasian Federation's capital planet Agerania One, Alcasian Federation High Councilor Kerran and Southwest Region Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander Andrews watched the real-time holo-graphic map as it showed the each group of 262,144,400 starships, cruisers, and destroyers close to the Merridan Sectors, Meddas Sectors, Merral Sectors, Messan Sectors, and Merris Sectors.

"There should be an bunch of Alcasian Republic Military transponder signatures, especially here within the Merridan Sectors, Meddas Sectors, Merral Sectors, Messan Sectors, and Merris Sectors." Alcasian Federation High Councilor Kerran noted. He then looked up at Southwest Region Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander Andrews. "Send communiques to the flagships of AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-01, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-02, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-03, AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-04, and AFM Combat Assault Groups Omega-Alpha-05 telling them to expect an attack from the ARM forces."

Southwest Region Alcasian Federal Military Field Commander Andrews went over to a nearby video audio communication screen and attempted to establish contact with the Axxenia, Allekia, Abbera, Alliosia, and Aonnila, only to find out communications those units were still being jammed.

Along the 25,000 light-year stretch of space which seperated the southern districts of the Alcasian Federation controlled Berras Sectors, Bellan Sectors, Brican Sectors, Bellans Sectors, Bestan Sectors from the Alcasian Republic Military controlled Merridan Sectors, Meddas Sectors, Merral Sectors, Messan Sectors, and Merris Sectors, each group of Alcasian Republic Military scanner personnel on duty onboard each of the scanner array stations and orbital bases continued to monitor the five groups of Alcasian Federal Military starships, cruisers, and destroyers as they crossed the border into Alcasian Republic space.
