Chapter 99: The wounded beast

The Arcadia reached the area as quickly as it could, and the rest of the ships also accompanied it. The jellyfish had no chance of escaping, but her refusal to leave the ship complicated the whole situation.

The Arcadia was larger and more powerful, and it did not hesitate to dock with the Medusa through an external boarding bridge. All the officers volunteered to accompany the Grand Admiral on the mission, but Jahve anticipated the worst possible reaction. He tried to convince Aeneas to stay in charge of Arcadia, but the boy would not listen to reason. Formally, she was his superior officer, and Aeneas would not have been able to disobey the order, but the relationship between the boy and the old admiral was very different, so Jahve finally relented.
