Back at the Koleska's Anomaly defence station, the discussions on who should be sending what to which distress call were ongoing, and every new call was causing even more confusion among the group-minded politicians.
Their instinct was to prevent any and all danger from coming their way, so they weren't willing to do anything at all unless they had someone who could be thrown under the bus when things went wrong.
But they weren't the only minds making decisions here, and a lot of the military leaders had chosen to ignore their ramblings and send out troops of their own before the politicians got their heads out of their asses far enough to see the danger that they were in.
