Meanwhile, the Minotaurs—specifically Jarkon, alongside Mimosa and Zyth—were currently in a shuttle heading toward the Star Empire fleet. Their goal was to convince their allies to stay and deal heavy damage to their now-mortal enemies before leaving the system.
They had previously considered directly contacting the Grand Admiral regarding the insights they had gathered on the sudden appearance of this "unknown enemy," but Jarkon had rejected that idea. According to him, a face-to-face meeting would give them more leverage over the Star Empire; he believed they could use certain tricks to perhaps make the "Star Race" do their bidding.
Though Mimosa and Zyth weren't entirely convinced, they ultimately decided to follow Jarkon's lead, regardless of how he wanted things done.
