While we hurt our enemy it was The Legion d’Honneur who felt the most pain. Admiral Doumerc regarded this as “a shrewd tactic”, one that he recognised and “admired”. They had chosen the battlefield that would suit them most and nullify our armaments. The Aquans would not engage in a straight fight, instead working their way towards us under the cover of asteroid fields and gas clouds.

The majority of our vessels assumed the ‘Mailed Fist’ formation while Sentinel Squadron probed from our starboard flank. These ships did not meet the profile descriptions for the fleet we were expecting, and so Admiral Doumerc delivered a vox-comms message to request an audience with the Admiral of The Endless Wave, knowing that said ship was not present and hoping that bloodshed could be spared to allow our passing. Upon nearing our destination we were met by an Aquan fleet blockading our route. We had assumed the Aquan foe had captured him, for they would not be foolish enough to let such a treasured prize slip.

We followed the co-ordinates given by Bilitas towards the Laurel System, in search of the boy Draykon Rense.
