Martian Brutes

Despite their young age, Flash and Karl were both paragons of skills and talent among the fleet commanders. However, their reputation was limited only in the technical field. 

If Flash were the commander in chief, he would not allow the armada to simply sit around in the name of 'preserving strength'. What human force needed right then were real actions that produced real results. However, such actions also meant taking risks. Over the five years, the human fleet had been circumspect and distant from any risk-taking actions. This approach had maintained the strength of the Armada, but also lost many opportunities to make meaningful progress.

Risk and reward were two sides of the same coin, and one could not look for one while ignoring the other. That being said, Flash was certain that he had made the right decision this time.
