Some ships have been reassigned "...to help confront Merseia..." (p. 41);
many have joined the rebel, McCormac;
some must guard the key planets of the sector;
Admiral Pickens, moving toward the Vigilian System to confront McCormac, has only a quarter as many ships;
Asieneuve, commanded by Flandry, leaves the fleet to embark on her confidential special mission.
The action begins. The plot thickens.

Kaor, Paul!
Most of us, in a similar situation, would probably have been content with what Flandry had done up till then: check out a few planets, have an interview with Snelund, and, daringly, rescuing McCormac's wife. Flandry, being the kind of man he was, would not be content with that--rather, he showed initiative, presented his special orders authorizing him to take independent action.
Ad astra! Sean
