Bab 177: Chapter 177 Assignment

Max was still grumbling about the noise of the notifications when a cold hand under the blankets slapped him on the backside. 

"Get up and read your messages so that we can go to breakfast, or lunch since it's the middle of the afternoon. We transfer out tonight." Nico informed him, confirming Max's fear that they were being sent back to work early. 

There were two messages waiting for him, other than the ones from the unit. One was the notice that Abraham Kepler's Warp Drive had a fault that required structural overhaul and would be in dry dock until further notice, with the units formerly aboard it being transferred to the Perseverance Eternal. 

The second was the eyes-only message from Uncle Lu. 

[Major Keres Max

You are hereby relieved of Command of the Stalwart Special Tactics Unit with full honors and transferred to the Strategic Development Department for duty in the Mecha Modernization Bureau under General Chen Lu.
