"How dare those traitors do something like this!" he shouted, his voice shaking the command deck. "Send down more troops! I want them wiped out! Every single one of them! I don't care what our losses are!"

The command center was a storm of activity with officers scrambling as new warnings flashed across the tactical displays.
