Intelligence Analysis, Yui ordered.
Kessaku Anri answered from the Philosophy. , Mistress-Taisho these Elysian ships were headed toward Nepleslia. There may be something going on there, but we have no other major indications at this time.
Hinosami, Contact the Seigi and tell them to keep their eyes open.
Mistress, the Seigi is not at Nepleslia. Sixth fleet has arrived there and has been waiting for them for a day. No communication from the Seigi, the small young woman informed Yui.
Did they break down or something? Yui murmured to herself, her mind pouring over the possibilities. KAMI!
Ready, answered a male voice.
Show me a star map which includes Geshrintall, Nepleslia, the First Fleet, and the course of the Elysian Ships we recently destroyed. Scan for the Seigi where the two courses intersect.
The appropriate image appeared. Seigi is present.
RDD Scan for cloaked vessels in the Seigis vicinity.
Out of range, Taisho, the computer regretfully replied.
Theyre probably surrounded! Yui frowned. Communications?
They appear to have broken down in such a way that their CDD pushed them to one side, off course into an area that naturally interferes with communications and CDD fields. Its space damaged by main guns used in battle.
An excellent ambush point. Yui frowned. So, we cant contact them.
No, Hinosami shook her head, her short sky-blue locks dancing across her eyebrows. Only light-speed or slower communication will work there. It would take years for a message to arrive from here.
Meanwhile, the Seigi received a transmission. Yuuko played aloud in the bridge.
This is Admiral Miwasidh Nariel of the Elysian Battleship Truth. You will surrender immediately, or face terrible destruction.
