"I am here, Oliver," Iris's voice was tight with pain. She was using all her magical energy to keep the giant blue dome stable. "The shield is holding. But the monsters... they are hitting it so hard. The impact is hurting my arm.""The humanoid strategist knows you are the weak point," Oliver said, analyzing the red dots swarming around Iris’s location. "He is sending his elite guards. Heavy Goliath units. They are striking the shield in a synchronized pattern to break your magical frequency.""I can't hold it much longer!" Iris cried."You do not have to hold it forever," Oliver said. "You only have to pulse it.""Pulse it?" Iris asked. "If I drop the shield even for a second, they will get inside!""They will not get inside if they are dead," Oliver calculated. "Listen to my math, Iris. I am tracking the exact moment the Goliath monsters strike the shield. They hit it every 4.2 seconds. When they hit the shield, their physical bodies are committed to the forward momentum."Oliver w

Oliver raised both of his hands. His mind expanded. He stopped seeing people. He stopped seeing monsters. He only saw math. He saw angles, speed, probability, and energy output. He was no longer a man. He was the central processor of the human race."Commander Hayes," Oliver addressed the leader of Echo-4.On the right hologram, Echo-4 was in deep trouble. Three million Wraithborn monsters were dropping from the sky like dark rain. Commander Hayes had moved her people to Sector Seven, just as Oliver had ordered. But the monsters were pressing hard against the high metal walls."Hayes here," her angry voice came over the radio. "They are breaking the north wall, Oliver! We don't have enough heavy guns to stop them!""You do not need heavy guns," Oliver said smoothly. "You need gravity. I am dropping six anchor-stabilized ships from orbit. They will arrive in exactly fourteen seconds.""Ships?!" Hayes yelled over the sound of screaming monsters. "If ships fly into this sector, the Wrai

The heavy steel door of the command room exploded inward. A massive cloud of black smoke, sharp metal pieces, and bright purple fire blasted into the room. The force of the explosion knocked Captain Vance to the floor. The giant blue hologram in the center of the room flickered wildly.Commander Oliver did not fall. He did not even blink. He stood perfectly still. His feet were planted firmly on the metal floor. His left hand was raised. He held his heavy black pistol completely straight.Through the thick, burning smoke, a pair of giant, glowing red eyes appeared.It was not the humanoid strategist. The King would not risk his own life so easily. The King had sent a monster to break the door. It was a Goliath Wraithborn. It was a massive beast, fifteen feet tall, made of hard black smoke and razor-sharp bones. It roared. The sound was like a screeching train crashing into a wall.The monster lunged into the room, its giant claws reaching for Oliver.Oliver did not step back. His min

"Jax achieved his mission," Oliver replied, his face a stone mask. "He traded fifty men for three million monsters. It is the greatest tactical victory in the history of the colony. Do not disrespect his death by crying over it."Vance wiped his eyes and turned back to his screen. He felt sick to his stomach."Boss," Billy said from the video screen. His voice was very quiet. "General Thorne is reporting. The Wraithborn army has reached Delta-9. They saw the hole in the plasma shield, just like you predicted. They are pouring into Sector Four."Oliver looked at the map of Delta-9. A massive wave of red dots was running exactly where Oliver wanted them to run. They were running right into the trap."Tell General Thorne to wait until the sector is completely full," Oliver ordered. "Wait for maximum density. Then detonate.""Waiting," Billy said. He watched his screen. "Eighty percent full. Ninety percent. One hundred percent. Sector Four is packed with monsters.""Detonate," Oliver said

Jax looked at Oliver. Jax was a brave man. He loved to fight. But he saw the cold, empty darkness in Oliver's eyes."Commander," Jax asked softly. "What is the probability that my men and I survive the blast?"Oliver did not look away. He did not lie. He never lied to his soldiers."The probability of your survival is 12.1 percent," Oliver said clearly.Captain Iris gasped. She covered her mouth with her good hand. "Oliver! You are sending them on a suicide mission! You are telling them to die!""I am telling them to win," Oliver said flatly.Jax took a deep breath. He looked at Kael. Kael nodded slowly."12.1 percent," Jax smiled a sad, hard smile. "I have fought worse odds. We will pack the cannon, Commander. Strike Squad Seven, moving out."Jax’s screen blinked off.Oliver turned away from the floating screens. He looked back at the giant blue hologram. The pieces were moving. The chess board was set. Every action had a measurable probability. Every human life was just a number in

One minute later, the command room was filled with floating faces.Large holographic screens hovered around Oliver’s desk.On the first screen was General Thorne from Delta-9. The old man looked extremely tired. His gray uniform was wrinkled.On the second screen was Commander Hayes from Echo-4. She looked angry and terrified. She had not forgiven Oliver for destroying the Iron Star.On the third screen was Captain Jax. Jax was standing in the heavy weapon armory deep below Oakhaven. Giant metal mechs and massive Genesis Cannons rested in the dark behind him.And standing physically in the room was Captain Iris. She watched Oliver with sad, angry eyes."Listen closely," Oliver said. He did not say hello. He did not ask how they were. He spoke in crisp, sharp tactical language. "Every second we waste is measured in human blood. We have extracted the enemy's battle plan. The Wraithborn are launching a multi-front galactic siege. They will arrive in four hours.""Four hours?!" Commander
