Progen.”
    “That is news.”
    “You also didn’t know that the Commander of the Green Forces in M-86 decided to leave early with more than two million warships and return to M-87 before the Progen Warships arrived. His fleet arrived right after the attack from M-84 started and his fleets prevented thousands of their planets from being destroyed. The space battles continued until the main invasion fleet returned and ended it.”
    “Do you know how many planets they lost?”
    “No, but the number was in the tens of thousands. Your allowing the Invasion Fleet to escape saved a huge number of their worlds.”
    Chris sighed, “I hope that was a good decision.”
    “There’s something else.”
    “What is that?” The Pod’s display illuminated and they saw a huge Black Warship appear outside a formation of Green Warships and, after a slight pause, it fired on the largest Green Ship and blasted it into ashes. “What happened there, Barbie?”
    “That Green Warship was the flagship of the Commander that left M-86 early. The Legends punished him for leaving without their approval.”
    Audrey shook her head, “Oh my God!”
    Chris’s expression turned grim, “That Commander had to be one of his civilization’s great heroes after holding back the Invaders from M-84. This can’t sit well with them!”
    “It doesn’t. The Legends also called the Commander of the Invasion Force in but declined to kill him when they watched the recording of the attack on his fleets. They realized it was good judgment to flee. They didn’t know you allowed them to go unharmed. I suspect if they did, they would have killed him as well.” Chris sat back in his chair and shook his head. “There’s one more thing.”
    “Yes.”
    “That Commander is now the Supreme Leader of his civilization. The surviving worlds demanded he be promoted to lead them.”
    Chris nodded and wondered what that Commander thought about the Legends now. He stared at the display as it showed the destruction of the Green Warship again. “Where did that black ship come from?”
    “It’s one of those defending the planet where the Legends are located. Our probe there has detected about a million of them around the planet.”
    “What can you tell me about it?”
    “It’s more powerful than any other warship in that galaxy.”
    “Can we handle it?”
    “I don’t know. The probe didn’t use an active scan on it. If it did, it would have been detected and probably destroyed.”
    “That’s a question we are going to need answered eventually.” Chris ended the recording that was playing over and over, “Do you have the location of the six M-84 scouts here in our galaxy?”
    “I do.”
    Chris pressed his panel and Chad appeared, “Admiral, I am going to remove some hostile warships that are scouting our galaxy. I need you to assign three Pods to five of them and have them skip in and surround them.”
    “What about the sixth?”
    “I’m going to go and have a conversation with that one.”
    “Should I send you two more Pods to go with you?”
    “No, just be prepared to fire on those five if I give the order.”
    “I’ll issue the order and have them ready in thirty minutes. Let me know when you want to do this.”
    “We’ll go five minutes after the Pods are ready.”
    “I’ll confirm our status when the Pods are ready.”
    “That would be good.”
    Audrey looked at Chris, “Is it a good idea to go alone?”
    “The Green Warships were able to kill them. I don’t see a scout being a real threat.”
    “Then why are you sending three after the other five?”
    “I want them surrounded so they can’t escape.” Audrey nodded and waited for Chad to notify them the Pods were ready.

    Chris looked at Audrey and said over his communicator, “We will skip out to our targets on my mark! Three, two, one, MARK!” Barbie ignited her thrusters and the B-Pod blasted through the void at her highest speed. She moved in on a small object in
