| �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.� |
