�Where?� Admiral Ross demanded in his most authoritative voice.

The commander of the 4th Fleet ignored Ross and looked over at the Sergeant.  �That�ll be all, Sergeant.�

�Yes sir.�

�We are the only people who know about this, understood?� Admiral Ross said, pointing a finger at the Forensics guy before retracting it.  �Well, you don�t know much anyway,� he decided before dismissing him.

Blackbird had folded his arms and was tapping the infopad against his head.  He was trying his best to ignore both Admiral Pegori�s inquisitive look and Ross�s demanding glare. 

�Do you remember how long ago it was you saw the information at least?� Admiral Little asked, encouraging him.

�It�s been within the last year, I know that,� Blackbird said, thinking.  �What all hostile species have we encountered over the last year?�

�Not much,� Pegori answered.  �We�ve been sweeping up things with the Imperials.  The last major battle we had was last year, when they broke their armistice agreement--�

�That�s it!� exclaimed Blackbird.  �The battle when Mansel and the Explorer came back from that alternate universe!�

�So what are you saying?� Ross asked, not following.

�These blast patterns are consistent with that from the alternate universe.�  Revelation showed on Blackbird�s face.  �That means they�re here.�
