" It is unfortunate, how things turned out, for Dublin and Captain Wulrif. But, at least, we were given the heads up, on the new Neuroi threat.",

said Galland. " Let be noted, Captain Wulrif resisted the Neuroi 'hive' mind .", said Naoe. " Fair enough. What had been revealed about the

construct?", asked Galland. " By what the Dublin survivors said, by what we first hand witnessed, the construct seems to be a cloud, unless

some 'micro ' Neuroi starts attaching themselves, to the hull.", said Naoe. " And, do much more. For the time being, the policy is to stay away,

as much as possible, from the 'Neuroi Cloud'.", said Galland. " Understood.", said Naoe.

" Captain. 'Matter cloud' on approach.", said Zenitsu. " On screen.", said Naoe. They watched the 'behavior' for awhile, and Naoe ordered,

" Helm, Navigation, back us away. " As the Akagi, slowly reversed, the 'cloud' followed. " No choice. Ready phasers and photon torpedoes.",

'fluid' form to form a 'solid' barrier for defense?", asked Naoe. " Possible.", replied Zenitsu. Then, the 'cloud' continued their approach.

" Oh, no, you, don't.", muttered Naoe. She called out her familiar, placed her hands on the 'plates' in her Command Chair to cycle up,

the magic drive. The Akagi 'spun' on her 'axis', and seemingly vanished in front of the cloud.

Akagi, reappeared in a 'free zone '.  " That was a 'close' one, Captain.", said Zenitsu. " Let's not, have another.", said Naoe.
