Ularean shared his feelings of frustration over their telepathic link, and replied, *We have broadcast our call for assistance, but as of yet, there has been no reply. The Terran Federation have not seen him for over a month. My contact reports that after JohnBlake's intervention in the Battle of Regulus, he departed on a course towards the Maliri Regency, where he intervened to save one of our Merchants.* He paused for a moment, then added, *His cruiser now possesses overwhelming firepower. He destroyed the Drakkar cruiser with contemptuous ease.*
Talari slowly turned to stare at his colleague, and his telepathic voice was hushed as he asked, *Could he have claimed his inheritance? I read the reports from JohnBlake's defence of Terra. He utilised a Thrall's weapon to destroy the vessel housing the AI.*
*I do not know, Talari. Despite the terrible risk, he might be our only chance of survival,* Ularean replied, his voice filled with fear. There was an undercurrent of desperation in his voice as he added, *What of the Legacy? How goes the project?*
*Work is almost complete,* Talari replied, before he hesitated, blinking a couple of times in an uncharacteristic display of fear. *Dare we use it? The attention it could draw to us... surely the risk is too great.*
*Desperate times call for desperate measures,* Ulerean replied, but his bold statement was undermined by the way he blinked five times.
Talari chose not to comment. He could feel a sense of dread creeping up his spine too.

Anonymous11 days agoWTF, and now we know that the secondary hanger walls are made from titanium,.. when they could easily have been upgraded on this refit to Malari crystal (6 times stronger than titanium, and lighter),.. John needs to get rid of 98% or so of the ship's titanium soon, please! :- ) TTFN
Anonymous12 days agoI really wish that you (oh mighty Tef, the word welder) had boldly stated that during this refit, that the decking was changed from heavy Titanium to something else! Like Maliri crystal ( six times titanium's strength and lighter too! ). Great chapter though! Thank you! ;-) TTFN
Tefler14 days agoAuthor"When and where has Tashana seen ducks?"
On T-Fed shows and movies. The twins were both big fans and watched a lot of it when they were younger. It made them fluent in Terran and very familiar with our colloquialisms.
Anonymousabout 2 months ago"You're a sitting duck, you should attack them!" Tashana urged her. When and where has Tashana seen ducks?
Anonymous4 months agoHe stops an entire empire wide civil war, without a single SHOT fired.
He then gets burned to a crisp (almost). SMH
What are we going to do with Mr. Blake.
This story is too good.
