their presence.
As a matter of fact, I just sent the system to Reban.”
“That’s
good,” Daes said. “Hopefully we won’t have to…”
Daes
was cut off by Reban appearing on the monitor.
“Lady
Veda, the new detection system has picked up enemies on fast approach,” Reban
reported.
“How
close are they?” Veda asked.
“Too
close,” Reban said as the base started shaking.
“Scramble
the pilots in formation D-1,” Veda ordered. “The rest of us will get to our
stations as soon as possible.”

The
Maidens all looked at each other after the base started shaking.
“It
looks like we’d better get out there,” Kivi said.
“It’s
quite rude of them to attack when I’m only halfway through the new attack
plan,” Valis said.
“I
think we get most of it,” Seles said.
“I
know where she was going,” Celi added.
“I
don’t have a clue,” Mira said.
“You’ll
have to figure out along the way,” Valis said. “Let’s go.”
“Yes
Valis,” the others said.

Brian
woke up when the attack began. When he tried standing he found the pain was too
much. Frustrated, he sat back and closed his eyes. I can’t stand this. He thought to himself. This is like the plague but worse. At least then I
could function for a while. I feel like dead weight holding everyone back. After a sigh he opened his eyes and noticed Kyli standing next to his bed with
a pair of crutches. He removed his helmet to get a better look at her.
“Your
eye’s glowing,” she said.
“I
know,” Brian said. “Your leg’s broken.”
“I
know,” she said with a laugh. “I don’t know the details but I can tell you’re
not feeling well.”
“No
Kyli, I’m not,” he admitted.
“Being
stuck in here is what’s really bothering you,” Kyli said. “I should know,
because I’m in the same condition.”
The
ship shook from another round of attacks.
“Have
faith in them captain,” Kyli said.
“I
do,” Brian said.
Kyli
took his hand. “I have faith in you.”
He
laughed. “You do know I lied when I first landed on Kalaidia.”
“Of
course I know,” Kyli said. “It doesn’t change the genuine smile you showed me
when you said you were there to change things. Now that I’m older I know why
you had to lie. If you came with the truth they would’ve cut you down.”
“Thanks,”
Brian said.
“I
should be the one thanking you,” Kyli said. “My life was destined to be a serf
farm girl. You gave me the chance to be a pilot.” She held his hand tightly.
“So thank you.”
The
ship shook again from another volley.
“They
really know how to spoil the moment, don’t they?” Brian asked.
“Yes
they do,” Kyli said.

The
Freedom, Vomada, Raulno, and Avoni headed outside. After they were clear the
four ships deployed their mobile suits in a defensive formation. The Maidens
separated from their ships and flew straight for the enemy. Veda ran into the
command center while Reban relayed their orders.
“How
are our shields?” Veda asked.
“They’re
not at a hundred percent but they should hold,” Reban answered.
El
Kar and Esra appeared from the bridges of their ships.
“What
should we do?” El Kar asked.
“Our
mobile weapons are ready to go,” Esra said.
“Then
send them out and have them join with the base’s squadrons,” Veda said. She
quickly finished her work and sent the data to the four ships outside. “That
should help.”
The
systems in the base on the ships rebooted and displayed the location of the
enemy crafts.
“At
least now we’re not blind,” Reban said.
“All
ships should use the new data to help their mobile weapons,” Veda ordered.
“It’s
more than enough to make it work,” Myden said from the Freedom.
Both
Zae and Dreka from the other two ships nodded in agreement.
“This
will do for now,” Veda said.
