Training has begun for Relda's twelve daughters as they prepare for overthrowing the Dialorian regime. Their station is on none other than Relda's home planet. There, they are captured and befriended by the Curian community who warn them that the Dialorians have threatened Quadrant 3. Though scientifically, medically, and technologically advanced, as a small community they cannot withstand the Dialorian empire. Now the clones, Raylay, and Relda are tasked with not only saving Quadrant 3, but also protecting the Jucardian younger race.

"We'll be a huge target either way," Ozla retorted. 


"What about the baby Curian?" came the gentle voice. 


Another cam glance showed Shilah tilting her head and thrusting her hands outward. 


The orbs flew in a line from their docking bays. They descended, and Relda and her crew hung on to seconds of time. Bria clung to Noah. 


Relda tapped the touch screen, and the cannons awoke. Four laser beams formed their simultaneous fire, but only tore through two orbs.
