The Bluejay Fleet cut through space like a sharp knife. The vessels of the Red Association had become much more visible and active throughout human-occupied space, so they did not attract too much attention.
Nonetheless, many parties had developed a strong interest in tracking the movements of Professor Ves Larkinson.
It was not difficult to find out that he was scheduled to hold a product reveal in the Bortele System in less than a month.
The 9 ships of the Bluejay Fleet followed the right trajectory for the most part. Their powerful superdrives made the journey much shorter than what was possible just a decade or so before.
This gave Ves less time to practice his flute playing skills, not that he was able to devote much time on this activity to begin with. Just because he set out on a vacation did not mean he could drop his other obligations so easily.
