Chapter 295: Excitement

Leaving the bridge, Caden, Valara, and Elowen made their way through the sleek corridors of the Sovereign. The ship, a marvel of engineering and design, hummed quietly, its systems running smoothly after the crew's meticulous checks. They moved with purpose, each step bringing them closer to the shuttle hangar bay, their minds focused on the crucial meeting ahead.

Upon reaching the hangar bay, they were greeted by the sight of the fleet's shuttles, lined up and ready for deployment. The pilot, a seasoned officer named Lieutenant Markev, stood beside the designated shuttle, awaiting their arrival. He saluted crisply as they approached.

"Sir, Ma'am," he addressed Caden and Valara, giving a respectful nod to Elowen, "your shuttle is prepared for immediate departure to the GCC Headquarters."

"Thank you, Lieutenant," Caden replied, his voice firm yet calm. "Let's not keep our colleagues waiting."
