Achilles led the attack on the enemy ships; it was an ambush, there in Orion's belt, in that tangle of asteroids that Jahve had marked as a possible point of interest for the enemies to take meteorites to launch against the three planets inhabited by humanity. . But there weren't supposed to be that many troops.
If only they had not discovered Patroclus's ships, but the war was that cruel, he had known Captain Patroclus since they were together at the academy. He could tell that he was one of his friends, one of his few friends.
Achilles had only had two passions in life: the first was flying in space, and the second and most important was fighting, always fighting to the limit.
But his rudeness and his indifference never bothered Patroclus, he was always there to chat or have a drink. When they were both named captains, Achilles was assigned to the Argos, and Patroclus got command of a cruise ship.
