Panel 1
Alyss, Hugo, Sergio, Jorge

Jorge: How in flaming hell is this supposed to help us?

Hugo: Firstly, by cutting the enemy off from his supply chain.

Panel 2
Cut to view of ICE warships approaching the center of the 5-sun system.

Hugo: Secondly, you may not have noticed, but the enemy has been sending a fleet of heavy warships past our Oresme shields via normal space.

Hugo: The first six of them are now within a million klicks of our former location.

Panel 3
Back to Jorge, Hugo, Alyss, Sergio

Jorge: So? They won’t get through our Borvonite spheres.

Hugo: Given enough time and concentrated fire they can pierce a sphere and they only need to do that once, to the right one.

Alyss: What about their legation? Can’t they re-establish their bridge?

Panel 4
Jorge, Hugo, Alyss, Sergio

Hugo: Ah, that. I presume you have cameras on their location still?

Sergio: We do. Hang on a second ...

Panel 5
Above the conference table is a hologram of the area around the ICE Legation, but the ICE legation isn’t there.

Jorge: They’re … gone?

Hugo: Presumably they’re still where we left them, adrift now in the five-star system.

Alyss: Their shielding stopped them from coming with us!!

Panel 6
Jorge, Hugo, Alyss, Sergio – Hugo is grinning an evil grin.

Jorge: That’s great, but … now we’re trapped here with millions of invaders.

Hugo: Ah, but you see, now they’re trapped here with us.
