Vallantro and FATE appeared out of a Hyperdimensional Gate, stepping onto the bridge of the Newton, General Hart's warship. They knew why immediately: Siyex's ship, the Euclid. wasn't anywhere in the immediate vicinity and Hart's was deemed as the ship of the supreme commander. They immediately walked over to General Hart, saluted her, and began to bombard her with questions.

"Where is General Siyex and the Euclid warship, General? They are absent and your warship has been defined as the ship of the Supreme Commander in the FATE network."

General Hart, her personalized A.I in tow, hesitated for a moment, before regaining confidence, and then answered "Sir, we assumed that his absence was a part of our battle strategy, to lure the enemy into a false sense of security by appearing without a leader."

"If such was the case, all generals and their A.I. would have been alerted to it. The matter of his absence aside, what did the D.I.N need of us?"

"They require us to intercept some of the U.U.E's Capital Ships that are currently in Hyperspace, on their way to the Virgo  Supercluster of the D.I.N's home universe. They also require our assistance in hacking the U.U.E's Unispheres, as they are the cornerstone of the U.U.E's forces. The D.I.N tactician believes that we can take this universe if we do."

Vallantro pondered all of this information quickly, not wanting to waste valuable time. When he was done, he telepathically ordered FATE to search for General Siyex and the Euclid, while simultaneously connecting with OZMAGNUMOPUS to gather more information on the current situation.

"General Hart, you are to stand down. I am taking the role of Superme Commander from this  point onward." –General Hart nodded a simple "yes", saluted him, and stepped down. He activated a videochat with all present warships- "Order all available A.I's and technopaths of the Department of Cyber Affairs to transfer their consciousness into one of these ships or any available robotic body aboard these ships, except for this ship; the Magnetar; and the Mjolnir. They will stay behind hack into the Unispheres, along with FATE once she locates General Siyex and is done connecting with OZMAGNUMOPS. The rest of us will venture into hyperspace and intercept the Capital Ships of the U.U.E. Is that understood?"

All generals, their A.I., and their crew answered with a resounding "Yes, sir," an answer that boosted morale and started a fervor for battle. Soon, tacticians and A.I. alike were proposing methods of battle in hyperspace; meanwhile, technopaths and superintelligent psionic magitech began to hack into the Unispehere, collaborating with hackers in the D.I.N forces.

FATE was searching through the vast sea of data from the FATE Network, searching for General Siyex's mind and that of his A.I. She had also connected to OZMAGNUMOPUS, gathering up to date intel on the way the war was progressing. The uncertainty was quite unbearable, even to a technological lifeform as herself. Vallantro Wozniak (oh, how she hated how his name was similar to her master's) had a grand plan up his sleeve, but so did the D.I.N. The U.U.E can send messages back in time, it seems, allowing them to adapt to strategies before they are even implemented. No, she cound't be distracted. The task at hand.

She finally found his mind, and that of his A.I. FATE reached out and touched the mind of his A.I. ever so gently, not wanting to rouse the suspicion of General Siyex. Using the A.I's mind as a vector, FATE went through his recent memories and knowledge. He had been talking to Cassius, the fiend, and as planning on betraying the I.K.S. Not hesitating, she shut down General Siyex's mind and his A.I.'s mind and took direct control of his body.

Now in control, she technopathically piloted the ship and set a course for Vallantro's postion. She arrived in an instant, contacting her master and told him of General Siyex's conspiracy. She would now masquerade as him, allowing her to gain intel on the enemy, a double agent playing the U.U.E for a fool. She initiated a videochat with Cassius once more, to give him General Siyex's "answer".

The I.K.S finally had all the intel they needed. Creating a dimensional portal, Vallantro and the four warships under his command entered hyperspace, ready to intercept the Capital Ships. The technopaths and A.I. were met with resistance when hacking the Unispheres: the code was far more advanced than anything they'd ever encountered before. They sent the code to be analyzed by FATE and would await her decryption.
