After Lieutenant Dise worked the navigation software, she determined that they'd be able to reach Aeon Corona IX the fastest if they sling-shotted the shuttle around Aeon Corona VII.
"The question is whether we can make the sling-shot maneuver in this sandman-infested space." Ves stated.
In-system travel became extremely perilous at the moment due to the massive amount of sandman motherships and escort ships that roamed the surrounding space.
As the astral winds continued to fade, thereby reducing the amount of interference blinding every vessel's sensors, the CFA shuttle detected more and more energy signatures that matched up with the sandman.
Fortunately, it was a lot easier for the high-quality CFA shuttle to detect the sandman ships than the other way around. The disparity in technology and capabilities enabled the survivors to slip through the notice of most of the sandman ships, especially once Lieutenant Dise pulled back the throttle.
