The next part of this saga takes us from G3 to G5. This was where the next cluster of targets resided.
It was now starting to dawn on Fleet that something was seriously wrong. The tempo of strikes had to be dialed up. Fleets needed to be taken down quickly.
With 2 targets to go for next the priority was simply down to the next player in their inner circle who was most likely to show up to a distress call. This was msmith.
His fleet, like the previous two fleets, was sitting. Then, it wasn’t.
