"The captain in charge of the squad Cerise is sending towards us just got into contact. They'll be exiting hyperspace in under two minutes now."
Avery immediately perked up upon hearing this.
He had thought that Jasmine was getting his attention to deliver some bad news, but it turned out to be good news instead.
While he was using his powers, it had been impossible for him to keep track of time.
It had both felt unbearably long and incredibly quick to him. Almost as if the passage of time had lost most meaning during his extreme concentration.
"Good. How are our shields holding up?" Avery asked.
Jasmine frowned, and said, "We're at around twenty-five percent capacity now. I know that that's below where you told me to stat counterattack, but with the Alliance Police so close, I decided to keep up our disguise."
This was not what Avery had expected to hear.
He had not thought that Jasmine would disobey his order to fight back once their shields dropped below forty percent.
