“Well, it’s clear that the Eyes is the ship we need to send.”
    Steve looked at her, “I agree, Admiral Hart. Now the question becomes, who is going to fly the Eyes there. Am I going to give the power of that ship to a scout?”
    Amy saw the expressions of the other attendees and knew that idea was not something that would be done. The Prophet’s Eyes was the most powerful ship in the fleet. Steve saw her thinking about it and said, “The only ones that can fly the Prophet’s Eyes are me and my sister. She is not trained to know what to look for that would be of consequence to us. As a matter of fact, you’ve all seen the reports on how she takes risks, so we won’t be sending her. If we are unwilling to send her, should I go?”
    Malone quickly said, “Absolutely not. I’d rather lose Admiral Eagle than you!”
    Steve chuckled and looked at Amy, “Who among you would you feel uncomfortable giving the power of the Eyes to, Admiral Eagle? I think all of us trust him.”
    Janell shook her head, “Just how does Admiral Eagle feel about doing this?”
    Steve looked at her and shook his head. After a moment he looked around the table at the attendees, “It was a question he asked that finally convinced me to do it. He asked me if I were going to lead our fleets into war against the Builders, would I want to go and see what we’re up against. I have to admit that I would.”
    The room was silent and Amy lowered her head, “Sir, I understand your position. I apologize for not trusting your judgement.”
    Steve smiled, “You don’t need to apologize. I considered sending you instead.” Amy’s eyes went wide and Steve shrugged, “However, you have a family to consider.” Steve looked directly at Janell, “Admiral Eagle does not.”
    Amy’s eyes narrowed, “That’s not fair to Admiral Dobson, Sir.”
    Steve looked at Amy, “The universe isn’t fair, Admiral, and Admiral Eagle has convinced me that the best decisions have been made. I want to make sure that all of you understand that his reasons are based on sound logic and reasoning, not emotions. I must say that I do hope all of you have the opportunity one day to argue an issue with him and that damned computer so that you might understand my frustrations. I suspect you might understand why this decision was so difficult to make. This meeting is adjourned.”
    Janell quickly said, “Is he going alone?”
    Steve looked at her, “No, that stubborn computer is going with him along with the Academy Cadet that uncovered this danger. Sending her along is not something he wanted but the computer won that argument. I must admit that I agree with Gabe on this but it makes good sense to send her.”
    Janell tilted her head, “Why is that?”
    Steve smiled, “Because she saw things he missed. How often does that happen, Admiral?”
    Janell stared at him and said, “Never.”
    “Can’t say that any more. He missed that galaxy. The computer thinks between the two of them, they won’t miss much.”
    The meeting broke up and Janell rushed over to Amy, “Who is this Cadet?”
    Amy shook her head, “Gabrielle Bartoli is going to break Gabe’s academic records at the Academy.” Janell’s eyes narrowed and Amy smiled, “You don’t have anything to be jealous of, Janell. A moss covered rock is better looking.”
    “Looks aren’t everything.”
    “Take a look at her Academy records and get back to me on that.” Amy shot back. Janell pressed her wrist unit and pulled up the personnel profile on Cadet Gabrielle Bartoli. Her head went back and Amy laughed. Janell looked at her and shook her head in agreement.

    The room cleared and Steve went to his console. He pressed a button and the Supreme Leader of the Darkness Civilization appeared, “Has anything changed?”
    “No, either they sent a ship and it didn’t make it through the black hole’s jets or they haven’t sent one, yet.”
    Steve nodded, “I’m sending a scout to take a look at
