Rescue mission over, we all needed to stand by. There were now 3 XX-frames for the coalition in space. It would take time to get 2 more up there. Trying to open another warp gate would just be too dangerous for us. Even with our infinite funds, we would still need a month to build each one. All of us needed to figure this out. I told the others that I needed to take a break before leaving the command center. I was sitting on the other end of the hangar. I had to warn 01 and 03. If they blew up, I would be really sad. I got on the phone and waited for 03 to answer. "Hey! How do you have 3 XX-frames, Brianne!?" he demanded. "Don't worry about that. Do not try to open a warp gate. We tried and it blew up. The blast almost killed our pilots. Our calculations is that you need 5 XX-frames to make it stable at the 1000 meter range." I warned them. 03 did not say anything for a bit. "Why are you telling me all of this now? Can I really trust you? We are enemies now." he asked. I just rolled my eyes at the dumb question. "C'mon! You know we go back to before this. I don't want you and 01 to blow up."
Saying it like that seemed to reach him. "It's not us going up. It's 05 and 06. They are the ones that went to build it. They should be back tomorrow." I sighed out loud. He heard it. "What is it?" 03 asked me. "I guess that I can't convince you to come over here for the next few days." "Watch it!" he warned. 03 sounded seriously. I knew that would be his reaction. "I thought so. I guess 02 will be the one to make me submissive and docile with the rough sex I was planning to have with you. He is practically the exact same as you, constitution wise." I said with a smile on my face. He growled on the other end of the line. "02 is a deviant and a traitor. If anyone can break you, it's going to be 01 and me." he said angrily. "But you won't be here though. 02 is literally in the same hangar as me. I've got to go." I was going to hang up the phone when a desperate 03 said "W-wait! I'll be there." I got him. "You know I won't let you rest. I am going to make you mine by force. You need to be put in your place, Brianne." he added before he cut off the connection. I would be waiting. I seriously doubted that though.
Going back to the command center was easy. Everyone was still focused on the 7 pilots in space. The 3 XX-frames formed a small circle. They all would space out when more came to support them. My phone rang. I checked it before putting it to my ear. It said it was Temmy. "Hey Temmy." I said. Instead of the soft, kind voice of Temmy, I heard the leader of the coalition's harsh voice. "Where did you get all those XX-frames Brianne!?" she demanded an answer. "We had them in reserve in case we would be needed to give you back up in space. Luckily, we were able to react and immediately rescue 05-010 and 05 to prevent further damage." I said calmly. That was all that was needed. I had to do what was right for my clan and territory. The coalition leader herself stripped me of my direct responsibility to the project. All that she could do was cope and seethe from the hangar where she was standing. Caleb, Charlie and Cameron all were going to be seen as big heroes of the coalition. That was a given. It could not be denied that Caleb honestly deserved the the title based on what he had done.
