Drake returned to the alexandria and once in his usual outfit he returned to the bridge "florance......i don't recall bringing automaton units with us" Florance saluted as Drake returned "ah sir hq sent them behind us we were unaware of their preasance as well" Drake nodded Florance may not like him he knew that but the old man wouldn't do anything to cause conflict between the two intentionally. the old man was something of a coward and Drake knew that's why the man had only made it as far as he had. Florance on the other hand was quite content with his post because he didn't really have to do anything unless Drake was out. Drake sighed and sat in his chair "our fleet was reduced to what.....7 ships? i believe the enemy suffered similar casualties so that wasn't a complete failure....but still to think they had the godstorm......yes.....this will prove to be very interesting from  now on."
