Chapter 3
The young girl watched fascinated trough the thick Deluv-Glass windows of the small trader. She felt like a great pilot, sitting in the cockpit seat of the GC-Danube.
- Is that 2 stars?
- That's right, Alexander Ivanova said. Gemini got stars, one blue and one red!
- Daddy, who built the stargates?
- Little Nat, no one can answer that.
Suddenly, one of the consoles in the cockpit started sending out blipping sounds.
- What's that?
- Ships... hundreds of them! They are exiting the stargate!
Jennifer Ivanova opened the cockpit hatch and walked in.
- Allie, what's happening?
- Thousands of ships... they are charging their weapons! i... fire up the thrusters! Get us out of here!

Major Ivanova woke up, covered in sweat, and with the picture of a Mantis printed into her eyes.
Why was she having these nightmares?
She watched the clock in her captain''s quarters. 01:20 AM. The detailed scan results should be done by now... she's better go to the lab now and find the reason of this... it isn't every day a fleet of Mantis vessels get destroyed by Blue beams... who did it? was it a natural occurence? She was eager to find out.
