SWNOVELS Chapter 6
SOL GOVERNANCE’S HEADQUARTERS.PACIFICALIS ISLAND…
“…Admiral,” David Thompson, one of the other cadets at the Sol Governance’s headquarters, called out to her as she was about to board her personal craft to attend a global meeting in continental Europe.She had just stepped on the platform to board the planetary craft when Thompson had stopped her.She had a very indignant look on her face when she turned to see who it was.“Ma’am…you’re definitely going to want to see this!It’s about The Justif—“
“Say no more, Cadet,” she stopped him.The Justifier crew was never to be mentioned out in public!Admiral Shan called over the pilot of the ship, and with a snapping nod of understanding, the pilot ran back into the craft and disengaged the engine.
Admiral Shan was following Cadet Thompson back to her personal quarters where it was secured for them to talk.After her door sealed shut, she started to curse the young one for nearly exposing the non-declared mission before he beat her to the punch.
“They’re gone, Ma’am!”
She stood in shock, and perhaps not sure she understood the cadet.“You mean Justifier’s crew?”
“Yes, Ma’am.Just like the bases out in Pluto’s region…Cadet Grainger is busy trying to contact them one more time in the secured room after we got word from space station Watcher 5.I thought you might want to know before going on your meeting, Ma’am.”
The admiral’s mood went straight from boiling hot to down-right alarmed!How does an administrator deal with the fact that their special ops team sent to survey and secure a situation ends up missing just like those they were meant to help?There was no getting around it…whoever, or whatever, was out there in the outer regions of the Sol system was very close to checkmating planet Erth at this rate!
“Ma’am…?”
“Yes, Cadet…I, I think it’s time we convene an emergency meeting of the Governance at once!We don’t have time for a physical sit-down right now…have Grainger help you set up the necessary contacts.”
“Yes, Ma’am,” Thompson snapped, and he raced out of her secured quarters.
