章 269: CH269: BAIT

[Location: The Void of Space]

[Ethisian Ship fleet hovering above a colony cluster.]

About twelve mid-sized ships, all led by one larger ship, found themselves at a standstill when the leading ship cut off all communications with them.

The sudden silence caused an intense feeling of unease, brought about by the presence of a smaller scout ship. As soon as the smaller ship docked with the larger, all communication between it and the others was completely shut off, leaving them confused and worried, but not scared, as they did not expect something horrible to happen.

Judging from the interactions with the Ethisian in charge of the larger ship, those in the other fleets understood him to be an uneasy person to deal with, so they concluded that this sudden silence was one of his impulsive thoughts manifesting.

How wrong they were.
