GÇ£Commander, Fleet Commander wants to see you!GÇ¥ GÇô a sudden young voice of a lieutenant breached silence in Operations Quarters as I was watching fresh scans of Jeon systems predicting our next step.
GÇ£Prepare shuttle, I will be in a minute.GÇ¥ GÇô Still looking at the scans I saw in the reflex of the interface her, standing and waiting: GÇ£This is all for now, go.GÇ¥
We got himGǪ at least we know who sabotaged our transfer system. It was a scientist from Duvolle laboratories, Angels threatened his family and so he had nothing to do but to send us system virus with next shipment of the equipment. He was a man from company who escorts shipment, each shipment has such, and he was thereGǪ He managed to get to transfer system through one of the terminals while he was accounting new shipment. Encrypted as a code, it managed not only sabotage system but also retrieve some vital information, gladly we stopped him before it was too late. Now scientist will collaborate with us to proceed on the undercover mission into Archangels rounds. Must be of this Chief called me, as nobody else but me knows more about undercover missions in here. At least I am not the one responsible for that missionGǪ
As I walked into hangar the shuttle was awaiting me. I entered still thinking that there might be something else why he called me.
GÇ£Two minutes remainingGÇ¥ - a pleasant female voice announced estimated time of arrival.
Might it be my new assignment? What could it be? As I was already in elevator I hadn't notice that there were other officers with me.
GÇ£Hello guys, you are too?GÇ¥ GÇô One of them appointed his finger up considering Fleet Commander. Almost everyone agreed silently shaking heads each with own maze. We walked into Fleet Command Center, it is a place where majority of decisions are made, always full of men, now it was empty, just seven of us were here.
GÇ£Greetings gentlemen. I called you here to announce news.GÇ¥ GÇô a hardened officer, at least I thought at that moment as he asked us to sit around table by gesture: GÇ£As we all know, Commander Tanis didnGÇÖt survive the transfer, on this unpleasant note we have an order for promotion of Shield Commander Vox.GÇ¥
GÇ£What?!GÇ¥ GÇô I shouted so loud that everyone looked at me like if I was a madman: GÇ£Are you sure GÇ£ChiefGÇ¥?GÇ¥
GÇ£Afraid of responsibility Vox? I was too when they sent me to command you guys!GÇ¥ GÇô Everyone started laughing as I understood how surprising my reaction was: GÇ£I wasnGÇÖt the one to choose you but if I could I would do that!GÇ¥ - He continued laughing with the officers: GÇ£We should celebrate that so you better warn the kitchen. And Aegis, the Nyx is yours.GÇ¥
I was shoved away by this news which is not what I really expected. Now I was second highest rank officer in our fleet group. At least that day I understood that this was the only bright side of our welfare at that moment and officers really needed itGǪ
Returning to already my ship I wanted to share it with Aalox, seems like he might get promotion too since there is an empty slotGǪ
Of something nothing is everything.
