1192 Fist Fight

The ships of the Expeditionary Fleet hurried to get into position for the blitz, arrayed to hit vessels that might be hiding out of the direct line of sight if the portal appeared in the predicted position, and then suddenly, the disruption stabilized.

There was still something there, and it appeared that they were about to break through to this layer, but there were no more signs of movement or disruption.

It was like they were at a stalemate, but neither side could see the other.

Maybe they had paused to reconsider their chances with the sudden appearance of new vessels on this side of the portal, but there weren't actually many ships in the human fleet.

Yes, a World Ship and a few Colony Ships would make a disturbance, but it was the number of living beings that were usually the deciding factor, and the enemy barely seemed to notice the Androids until it was too late, and the portal had already opened.
