This trip was the longest the cadets would make during the course, they would be in space for a total of seven weeks. Specifically, the academy ships while they were doing their training and would travel to a system on the outer rim, a large planetary system with up to 16 planets and many more satellites. They even had a couple of large asteroid rings.
One day before arriving at the planetary system, the cadets from the officers' academy and those from the bridge course were summoned to appoint a leader for each of the groups and have an emergency meeting on the main ship.
The thirty appointed cadets, including Hilio, Andromeda and Aterax, were waiting for the arrival of Eneas. The trip had been entertaining, but everyone was waiting for the new director to pull something out of his hat.
The admiral entered the room with his usual calm and parsimony when he wanted to create expectation.
