Amal sat on the roof of one of the silos on the farm. She peered through an optical monoscope at the land around her.
As she scanned the horizon, she caught sight of a frigate in the distance. It was accompanied by a handful of fighters.
They were all descending carefully.
The readings on her monoscope showed that the ships were roughly ten thousand meters away. It was further than even simple sensors could pick up. And certainly further than what the naked eye could see.
Amal immediately told the rest of her team through her DI.

Amal: You were right. Nightmare and his gang really showed up.
Freya: Figures. Well, we’d best post up and get ready.
T-Rex: How'd you know they'd show up?
Freya: Didn’t know, was just a guess, really.
Freya: Since they told everyone to leave and never come back.
Freya: It stands to reason that someone’s watching to make sure.
Fluke: What if it isn’t Nightmare down there?
