Captain Eisen answered, “Sir, we are tracking the Ambulas this very moment. We recently…”
With that comment, Giban joyfully exclaimed, “What?”
Every member of the court stood, stunned.
“Did you say ‘tracking’? What’s happened as the last report said it disappeared from your scans?”
Captain Eisen smiled and said, “That was true but…”
The captain glanced at the commander and disregarded his disdain for speaking Boone’s name.
“Mr. Nova and his team… uh, what did you do, Mr. Nova?”
Boone glanced at Phia and motioned for her to answer. He did not want to anger the commander any further.
Phia answered, “Sir, we discussed… uh, Boone and the rest of our crew, how we could somehow fend off the Ambulas. We had no chance of surviving a direct skirmish, so we all decided to attempt a five-second all-out attack and see what we could do to deter it. Sir.” The court listened intently and began to take their seats. “Everyone aboard the Night Star, including the Kori Dane, took some kind of action against the Ambulas. Boone directed me to drop two trackers on top of her while he and Jona strafed her. Officer DeKator fired rockets while Officer Je’en dropped a bomb near her bow.”
Phia ended her report and the court smiled, enjoying what they heard very much.
“Captain?” Giban asked. “I assume you’re going to pursue?”
