Negotiation

Days passed without any communication between the machines or the humans, there were no attempts to attack, there were no traps, but it was a total and complete war between both sides. The two battleships activated stealth mode again, they would not give the machines the advantage of analyzing their ships for a long time, nor being able to foresee their exact position. This was a clear demonstration that they could really enter their system, attack and remain in stealth mode if they wanted. On the side of the machines it was immobility, they used up every second, and surely since the news of the visit of the human warships arrived, many contingency plans would be activated.

On the fifth day a large ship, like three battleships in size, completely spherical, and with a smooth and polished surface like a billiard ball appeared in the area. Aeneas and Shiro gave the order to deactivate the camouflages. A message arrived by radio.
