A philosopher once said the sky is always calm before a storm.
After all the interstellar pirates' ships were destroyed by the Military Department, the department's people enjoyed two whole days and nights of peace. But during these two days, the members of the Military Department were more anxious than ever. Everyone was too scared to even touch a drop of alcohol, fearing another ambush like the last time.
All information about the interstellar pirates seemed to have been obliterated along with the wreckage of those ships, with not a bit of feedback.
Even Sharp and Emily could distinctly sense the peculiar oppressive and tense atmosphere. They knew these interstellar pirates would surely make a move, but they didn't know how they would strike, so everyone in the Military Department remained constantly tense.
