Victoria was at the controls of the Sea Urchin of Vengence as I looked out of the synthetic windows onto the raven black sky above us. We launched nearly vertically up and quickly fell onto one side to form an orbit that would join us to the Empress. Around Callisto was a huge armada of ships. You could see there drives still blasting, slowing the ships down into orbit. It took a moment for the ship recognization system to label the individual dots on the battle map. Until then, it looked like two clouds of angry fireflies were carefully wrapping themselves around Callisto. It would've been amazing if it hadn't been so dangerous.

The Empress, her self, was in a fairly tight orbit, and so, soon, we could speak to Queenie. "What's in the name of Miley Cyruses underwear is going on ?" I asked Queenie as she appeared on the screen. 

 "The first fleet is Sabrina's," she explained, "the second fleet is my brother's, you do the math, dear.". 

"WTF," Victoria said, "this is a tactical low point." 

"Tell me about it." Bex said "The Alpha had come out of his safe gravity well to Callisto. His fleet looked a little short-changed on the number of bass-ass ships front. Peter looked at the display his eyes wide in realization.

"This is a disaster. This is so terrible. This is just totally totally awful. I can hardly believe this, " Peter said, " You mean this Queenie girl is a werewolf person?" 

Bex looked at me, and I shrugged. "We are on our way," Victoria said to Queenie while pulling at the controls.

 "Get ready for a hard docking."Queenie smiled. "Oh, believe me, I've been hard docking for years..." 

Soon the splinter ship of the sea urchin joined itself back onto the Empress herself. We quickly went to the control room it was evident that things are about to get hot. I mean hot in a disaster emergency way, not like hot as in a Rihanna video kind of way. 

"You have a long list of unanswered texts the length of your arm," Bex said, coming over to hug me as I arrived.

 It made me want to be an Admiral so I could order everybody do this when they get on board their ship. 

"Mostly from the Alpha....Oh, that's him now." I looked around for a phone before I realized a screen next to the huge chair, my captain's chair.

The Alpha came on, he looked fablous, I smiled,  "Hi," I said, "good news I don't want to kill you anymore." 

The Alpha looked at me, "arr are arrrr.." He stumbled for a moment, "it's good to see you. It is you?" 

I poked myself for a minute. "Yeah, I'm me..." I said. 

To be honest, it was just good to see his face. I melted slightly in the chair. "Err year. I mean, you're not Sabrina."

 He added. I shrugged my shoulders, "we have been talking for a minute now, and I haven't killed anybody yet. Not to mention I'm in the same room as Queenie. I think that stands for itself." 

He smiled, "it's good to see you. If this is the delusion, then everyone should be so deluded." 

Bex looked up, "some ships are moving." She said to me. 

"That's me," The Alpha said. 

Becks switch the screen to a tactical view; all I could see was a massive shard of ice moving towards us. The ship was 90% iceberg. The Alpha's ship was deep inside it. The main display described it as the Colossus. It was clear that his ship was massive but heavily armored and very slow.

"The other ships belong to Sabrina," Bex said.

 If the Alpha's ship was big enough to be a whale on growth hormones, then our ship and the two approaching were simply nats.
