LYCAVORIAN ATTACK CRUISER LEONIDAS I
SEVENTEEN HOURS FROM EARTH
"How many ships have entered the system? And someone turn those damn alarms off!" Ceneu bellowed over the alarms that were blaring on the bridge of LEONIDAS I. He turned quickly when the elevator lift to the bridge stopped and the doors slid open to reveal Riall, Gorgo, Vistr and Isabella. He waved them over to the large star chart and began to move there himself. "And give me an accurate count!"
"Ceneu what's going on?" Riall asked as he moved up to the table. "The entire fleet is coming to Alert Status Two."
Ceneu nodded and his hands touched the control panel for the star chart, bringing up the map of the galaxy that held Earth and their King. "Long range sensors have detected a High Coven Fleet entering Earth's system." He reported to them. He turned when the bridge crewmen hurried over and handed him the data pad. He glanced at it and nodded. "Eighty-seven ships, including the WING OF DEATH."
