No Need for Dark Warriors Chapter 4 The Juraian council had convened as quickly as possible in light of the odd happenings near the Belt of Sojin. However it was quickly found that there was little information of the happenings though its affects were ominously felt. The council chamber was filled with dozens of voices that melded into one. “But the question is what happened to the Galaxy Police fleet at station 21?” “Unknown. All contact with the fleet and the station as well as its guard fleet was lost. Likewise we have lost all recon fighter flights into the area. It seems that everything that goes within a hundred light years of the Sojin system never comes back.” “Yes and its getting worse.” A holographic star map appeared in the center of the chamber. “If you will all look at the map you’ll see that the area blocked to our sensors is quickly growing and soon it will arrive at-“ “Yes, Jurai. We know all that. We must defend our planet.” “I agree but you see the problem is that we have lost communications, not just in the area around Sojin but all over the galaxy. Some force of a power beyond what we can understand is blocking every message we or anyone else sends. Panic has gripped every single world in the galaxy that depends on stellar travel and the pirates have taken full advantage of this. What’s worse is that with half of the Galaxy Police fleet… missing the GP forces are spread exceedingly thin and are barely maintaining control let alone peace.” “So there is no way to send a message anywhere?” “No and as you know the princesses are currently on Earth. We may have no way of contacting them but rest assured we are sending a sizable feet.” “The ruling family has been informed then?” “Yes. In fact the king and queen themselves are traveling to Earth at this very moment.” “Good.” “Look, what do we know about this thing? This thing that’s causing the disturbances?” “Nothing. We don’t know what it is because we can’t get our ships close enough without them disappearing. Whatever it is it’s powerful. That’s all we know.” “What can we do then?” “Pray. Pray and hope this thing stops before it reaches Jurai. Pray that our feet can stop it.” “The fleet is ready then?” “Yes, but we have no way of communicating with them even though they are still in the system.” “We shall pray then.” “That is all we can do.” To be continued...
