“It will be done My Lord” was the admiral’s immediate response. Throughout the bridge navigational officers and guards tensed and prepared to spring into action. The admiral’s voice once again rang out to the enlisted men:

Well, not quite; the single present Jedi overseeing fleet operations noticed and swiftly moved to the admiral to see what was wrong. Acknowledgements started flooding in from the individual ships in the Battle Group and the admiral turned to the approaching Jedi.
