." Wattson said."True, but even so, Admiral Plimson wanted to prepare the SAS for an assault on Freeland, but the Sadr United Council wouldn't authorize any force to liberate Freeland," Zhu said, raising a hand to stop any reply."I have to admit that although I recommended we wait after considering Leader Reese's request and possible logic, the Emperor and his Imperial Parliament's subsequent actions indicated they would also have refused to honor our MSA with the Riss.I must conclude therefore that the Riss are no longer bound by the agreement.""We have to band together.Otherwise, the JPU will have a distinct advantage with their superior numbers, especially if they were able to upgrade over half their fleet at Freeland," Wattson said, somewhat agitated."What do you say, Leader Reese?" Zhu asked.In contrast, he appeared amused."The empires do seem to be focused on protecting themselves, so we are forced to do the same.But I will share with you the events of the previous year." I spent the next several hours discussing the invasion, occupation, and demise of Admiral Huber's task force."Interesting, while we ignored the essence of our MSA with the Riss, they were busy sabotaging the JPU fleet.We owe you and the Riss much." Zhu said."Again we, the empires, are focused on today, while you see tomorrow.I would appreciate any suggestions and whatever you may wish to share about your future actions.""I will ensure your factories know the codes that will activate the stealth chips on the JPU fighters and the specifications for new missiles that will hone in on them.You should upgrade all your cruisers with the new software." And Spiders, I mused.Life was getting complicated."You said the JPU cruisers now have Riss to help them execute accurate skips.That is going to neutralize our current advantage," Wattson said, his voice thick with disgust."The Riss will not aid the JPU in war.If they are unable to disable the ship, they will shut themselves down.If they do manage to disable the ship, I'd ask you to board the ship within twelve hours if possible.A Riss can survive that long without a functioning life support system." I didn't feel I should explain how she would disable the ship, since the same software protection was being installed on all cruisers using the Riss technology, including the Riss cruisers."Are you returning to Freeland?" Wattson asked."Yes.They have no cruisers to defend themselves.""I understand, but couldn't you spare a few Riss cruisers to help when we encounter the JPU?" Wattson asked."I'll provide you with one or more Riss cruisers if you will provide me with an equivalent number, as a percentage of our fleets, to protect Freeland." I smiled.Zhu gave a short laugh."Unless I'm wrong, Wattson, that would be thirty-seven for one.We deal in such large numbers, we tend to forget how important one ship and one life are to the Riss Nation," Zhu said."I'm restrained by the Emperor and his Imperial Parliament, but I would be willing to send a small task force to Freeland with you.""I appreciate that, Admiral Zhu.In turn, I will see that they are equipped with the new missiles and software.You could then rotate them with others you want upgraded.""I'll do the same," Wattson added, somewhat reluctantly.* * *The ride to the Riss enclave on Dunn the next morning was made in silence.When we arrived, we were met by a Riss, Stars in the night sky, and led on a narrow trail through a thickly treed area to a small lake, where some twenty Riss sat waiting."Sit, Terril.They have brought voice boxes, so I won't have to translate.You can ask any questions you want," I said.**Why consider hosting Riss?** A Riss's voice box said."I believe your Leader is important to the Riss future.and the Riss are important to the SAS and the UFN."**You do it for the SAS?**Terril hesitated for a long time before answering."I want the SAS to survive, but.Nadya.Leader Reese is someone worth protecting."I wandered off because the conversation was about me, and I wanted Terril to be able to answer without concern as to what I would think.I returned several hours later and called a halt for the day."That was strange.I've been around the Riss for years but never engaged them in a conversation.They are very perceptive.I think I'm getting the hang of it [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
