"I think they are going to engage on us, Captain," Commander Fenton said, his voice edged with concern. His eyes were fixed on the Valorian fleet in the distance, watching as the ships shifted into a more aggressive stance. The warning shots from the VNS Titan had made it clear that Valoria wasn't bluffing.
Admiral Henry Sturbridge stood silent for a moment on the bridge of his ship, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on him. He could feel the tension rising, the sense that they were on the edge of something dangerous. The Valorian fleet had given their final warning, and he knew that if they didn't comply, there was a very real possibility that Valoria would follow through with force.
"They're preparing for something," Sturbridge muttered, his brow furrowing as he glanced over the radar screen. The Valorian ships were now moving into a tighter formation, clearly gearing up for potential escalation. "They're not playing around."
