The fleet deployed by Admiral Odyseo consisted of the scientific mission cruiser Archides, mech squadron Alpha with twenty-five mechs, 10 Colossi, 17 Spartans, four Jade Emperors, and four Falcons. The cadets' mechs were stored in the Árquides warehouse as tactical support in case of need.
All the mechas in raptor mode surrounded the cruiser Archides; all of them had already been adapted to the new orbital engines. They positioned themselves in reverse flight at a safe distance from the portal; they were waiting for the order to cross it. It was a unique experience, the cadets were nervous and excited on the bridge of the Arquides, the Admiral had not brought other officers on board apart from Captain Aquiles, so it was the cadets themselves who occupied the positions on the bridge. They followed the orders of Odysseus as if they had been awarded the most honorable mission in the world.
