possible.”
    Jeff pulled his gaze from the display, “What makes you think that?”
    “We can see the Blue Giant Scouts because of Chris’ scanner being able to detect their frequency. The Moet can’t and so they won’t know they’re withdrawing from our galaxy. They’ll evacuate and wait for word that their worlds are being attacked. That gives us time with the Moet. The Blue Giants withdrawal is to build a better ship. That could take an extremely long time; especially if they have to build enough to invade a galaxy. We’re lucky.”
    They heard over the speaker, “Something’s happening.”
    Dolly flipped the display back to the feed of the Blue Giant Scouts and saw the formations closest to the distant Andromeda Galaxy were disappearing. It looked like a giant eraser moved from the front of the gigantic formations to the rear. In less than a minute they were all gone.
    Jeff reached forward and pressed the blue button on Dolly’s console, “Lt. Forester, your relief will be sent momentarily. You’ve done a great job and we look forward to debriefing you when you arrive home.”
    “Thank you, Sir. I look forward to going home.”
    “Chris, take all of the ships we have available and go scan as much of the Galaxy as possible.”
    “You think they may be trying to fool us and hope we drop our guard?”
    “That’s exactly what I think. If they didn’t leave any ships behind, that tells me that those beings were once invaded and destroyed in their past.”
    Everyone looked at Dolly and she said, “They remember it. They’re invading to protect themselves from future invasions and now that they’ve discovered an advanced civilization is here; they won’t risk any further losses that would weaken them in defending their galaxy. If they had never been invaded, they would still be looking. They would have no fear.”
    Jeff shook his head, “You are so amazing.”
    Dolly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and said with mock sorrow, “I know. It’s hard to be me.”
    Jillian laughed out loud as Jeff pulled Dolly over on his lap, “No it’s not,” and proceeded to give her a huge kiss.
    Jeff broke the kiss and Dolly smiled, “Show me again.”
    Chris and Jillian left to give the two some privacy and to start organizing the fleet to scan the galaxy for a Blue Giant frequency.

    Two weeks later Chris called in, “Dolly, we’ve done a pretty thorough scan and we’ve not detected one Blue Giant frequency in Sierra Space since their fleet left.”
    “Chris, I don’t want to take any chances. I want a ship left on duty in each of the four quadrants of our galaxy on constant scan. We’ll continue our protocols on keeping our solar system hidden.”
    “We’ll be coming back to start training on our search for the Jenze. Are you planning anything else in their absence?”
    “Yes, I am. We’re going to load the colony ships up with more materials and population to move to Dundee and we’re bringing Admiral Anders back to set up the construction facilities here on Earth to expand the numbers of new ships being built. You’re also going to be given one of the new ships to start your mission. It will have enough room for three Ninja Class ships on board so it should be able to hold a Jenze reactor if you’re able to recover one. We’ve selected two new crews for them and you should start your training on your new ships. You will take the crew that has the best performance in training.”
    “What’s the new ship’s name?”
    “Any ship you Captain will be named the Jukebox. Your old ship will be renamed the Time Keeper.”
    “That’s an appropriate name for the ole girl. What do you know about our new ship?”
    “It has six reactors. It is also voice controlled and has thrusters that allow you to flip the ship and turn 180 degrees instantly. We need to get you started on your search so instead of coming back to Earth, just go straight to Dundee.”
    Jillian reached over and said over
