Ripples appeared again in the patch of the dark vacuum that had calmed down just some time ago after having been disturbed once, then twice.
The first time, it had been a stealth squadron that had appeared, then, avoiding the shorter and more direct route of Path T2-316, took the longer one and a longer time to reach their destination, the area Lucas had cleaned up to refine himself, Sector three-one-six.
The second time, it had been a single spaceship that had appeared, bigger, less stealthy in build and specs, but more aggressive in appearance. If the first group of spacecrafts had screamed 'scouts', this one had 'assault' floating like a tag above it. But it had been just as discreet as the scouts.
After that second spacecraft had disappeared after the first group, calm and serenity had returned. And now, it was disturbed for the third time. It was a group of spaceships that appeared again this time, looking even more stealthy than their previous counterparts.
