Then, a lot of information related to the status of each ship was listed, and they were being updated in real time.

'No engine problems. reactor statues normal. Hyperdrive engine normal...'

As usual, Captain Garrison checked the condition of the ships. Eventually, when all six ships were inspected, the first officer standing next to him announced that the supply work had been completed.

"All men, battle station!"

As soon as Garrison finished speaking, the crew returned to their seats and took their seats. At the same time, other ships signaled that deployment was complete.

"All ships in battle station."

The six ISA ships that had been docked and asleep began to wake up.

"Main engine warm-up complete. Output normalized."

"The control tower gave permission to depart."

A warning siren sounded, disconnecting the supports connecting the ship to the dock, and the ship slowly ascended into space.

Even the fixing device holding the ship's body fell off, and six ships, led by Garrison's flagship, went out into space, formed a triangle, crossed space for 10 minutes, and stopped after receiving the waiting communication.

[This is the ISA Orbit Control Center. Six ships, including the flagship ISA Valkyrie, were permitted to hyperjump. Jump to the coordinates we just sent you. Coordinates are valid until 10:30 today.]

The control center in charge of space transmitted the coordinates of empty space, and the ship's supercomputer calculated the optimal jump path using these coordinates.

"Coordinates input completed. Jump path fixed."

"Hyperjump engine running normally. No errors found."

Garrison pressed the button on the control stick without hesitation. And the fleet of six ships disappeared from space where they were located just a moment ago.

*****

"Hyper jump was successful."

"Hyperjump engine power maintained at 50%."

Trevor watched the light from the bridge in silence. He seems to have seen enough to get tired of it, but he didn't get tired of it at all.

The universe around the ship distorted and the stars elongated as if receiving direct showers of light.

Even so, the bridge was very quiet. Only the shuddering of the ship and the sound of machinery could be heard in their ears.

After two minutes that seemed like 20 minutes, it was time for the hyperjump to end.

"10, 9, 8 until the hyperjump is released..."

The first officer started counting down, and everyone on the bridge checked their seat belts in case the jump was completed.

"...3, 2, 1. Jump off!"

"Reduce engine power. Stabilize!"

As they spoke, the shower of light ended, and Trevor felt as if the ship had made a sudden stop. The distorted outer space around it had returned to its original state.

In the front window of the bridge, there was a gray land with countless craters. The gray ground was dazzlingly bright in the sunlight.

The vanished fleet from planet Vekta emerged from space on the far side of the moon.

The fleet, which traveled from Alpha Centauri to the solar system in two minutes at a speed close to millions, even billions of times of speed of light, cooled its hot engine and left the ship to inertia.

While the altitude was continuously lowered under the influence of the moon's gravity, the inertia safely brought the fleet into orbit around the moon, and the fleet headed toward the face of the moon while maintaining an altitude of 40 miles from the lunar surface.

"An angle of attack of 12 degrees, linked with a laser communication satellite."

Captain Garrison executed access procedures.

"This is the 2nd Fleet of the ISA Navy compose of 1 aircraft carrier, 4 destroyers, 1 cruiser.

Assigned Mission: Gathering intelligence, supporting Special Operations Forces Shadow Marshals."

[Check fleet and ship identification codes. Class A access granted confirmed. authorize entry into Earth's orbit.]

"40% engine power."

Blue flames from propulsion nozzles burst as the ships' engines increased power. The lunar surface below the ship gradually darkened, and at the same time a blue planet began to be seen.

The blue light reflected in the front window of the bridge caught Trevor's eyes.
