286 Too Demanding

The Admiral smoothly shifted the Colony Ship to faster-than-light travel, while setting the alert for all units to stand by in preparation to be attacked.

All the Pilots that were previously off duty were running for their Mecha as the Colony Ship passed by the blockade without being challenged.

[We have alerted the Reaver fleet to a Pirate threat. The ships following us still aren't answering any of our attempts at contact.] Nico reported to the Command Staff as she jogged to the rear of the ship to join Max inside Enduring Rage.

[The nearest response is two Destroyer Class Reaver vessels, seven hours away. They are incoming at maximum speed, but it is up to us to hold out that long.] Mary Tarith reported.
