W-What!?
The sensors on your ships and planetary base suddenly light up. With your communications satellite still destroyed the enemy fleet wasn't detected until it got much closer. It's closing in to attack formation.
<span class="mu-b">”What... How? How is there another one? Computer- diagnostics.”</span>
“The enemy fleet is on visual and energy scanners. Gravity sensors are conclusive. There are physical objects incoming. Size and construction are the same as the Consortium ships.”
<span class="mu-b">”No... No, this isn't possible. The Consortium has great resources, but they don't just have enough war fleet in this region of space. It's not possible.”</span>
“All sensor data confirms this is a real thing. It is not a hologram.”
<span class="mu-b">”No. <span class="mu-i">I know this isn't real</span>. It has to be a trick, somehow. What about the Starseers? Do they see the “prescences” here?”</span>
“Quering. Starseers report the presences of crew. As far as they are aware, these are true living beings aboard the ships. Your Majesty- our fleet cannot handle another straight up battle against an enemy force of this size- even larger then their first fleet. Immediate evacuation is recommended.”
<span class="mu-b">”Why wouldn't they just send their whole force at once? It doesn't make any sense.”</span>
“The escape window is closing, my lord.”
The enemy ships are getting close. They stop just outside of attack range; energy readings show an increase in their heat and molecular agitation levels- they are readying to engage.
>Evacuate
>Stand your ground
