CHAPTER 269

EARTH

SPARTA

"Ordering you to return to Apo Prime." Deia voice spoke within the transmission.

The Senate chamber in Sparta was completely full; Dysea sitting in the chair that Martin would have sat in had he been there. Aihola and Isabella sat at the small table in front of her, all eyes on the large monitor that had been installed in the chamber for just this sort of interstellar communication.

"I'm sorry Prime Minister Deia… I don't believe I heard you correctly." Dysea spoke.

"I said I'm afraid I have to order you and Isabella to return to Apo Prime immediately." Deia spoke. "The King was not within his authority to send you back to earth to investigate this incident."
