"It's easy to miss something when you believe your winning a fight and pressing onwards, however a true general, a true tactaitican must try and see at least three moves ahead of there oppoenent, if not further, like the fact that you would send in your reserves to meet me, that's why they have orders to retreat as the other half of my fleet attacks your now open mine worlds on the other side of the galaxy. They'll make excellent resources to further my ship building and after your heavy lose on that one world, this will be one you can't afford." I tell her as that was playing out across the screen right now. My only problem would be if she did think ahead and had something planned for me.

Kate knew his fleets were invading her terrotity on two fronts she had lost a few sectors and the balance of power was shifting well towards his side, but it was over yet she still had a heavy fleet with a foot hold in his terroity but she needed a good target ten she saw two sectors covered in red one holding a shipyard the other army traing academy planet. So she ordered attacked these two sectors hoping to force him on the back front.

It was a good idea, however a little late. As her ships invaded my training planet they found it abadoned, when the computer randomly selected it I know it was a tactical error, better to scrap it and move it somewhere else, which her spy network didn't have time to update. The fleet that retreated was sationed around the ship yard in the area she did invade so now it was up to luck and the fortifactions there since she still outnumbered me some. About one to 1.5. Could go ether way as I kept up my attack to see which would blink first.

It was hard to see which this was going to go as both forces were engaged in fighting deep in enemy terroity it was only a matter of nerve and resourse now and who had more. She looked at him through the screen he was staring unblinking at her waiting for her to act. If she did not act soon all would be lost but still she waited.

My shipyard seemed to be holding out for now as my forces tried to make the push for her main maining quardrant. If I took it, I would seriously cripple what was left of her manufacturing capablites, but likewise if my shipyard was taken I would be in trouble myself. I then gave an order that would be costly, but that's what salveging was for as I ordered the ship yards to send out all ships that had engines and partialy shielding just long enough to became ship size missles as they rammed into her's.

The fleet that was attacting his shipyard disappear of the screen after being completely obilerated. Now her frces were in all out reatreat and Kate was work twice as hard to contol the amount of problems that seemed to be coming her way every single minute. Soon her whole line of defense was broken and her forces were making last stands all over the screen.

"Looks like your about to lose Kate, care to conceide what's left of your forces and spare them. I promise that I'll show your people mercy." I tell her joking with her.

"And what would be the terms of my surrender eh," she said her voice sharp and unhappy that she had lost this quickly.

"Oh, to see what else you wear besides a slave toga?" I ask her with a smirk. As I type something in to my computer getting ready for my next move.

"I bet you would," but she wouldn't have much of choice soon her forces were surrounded in three sectors and the final battle was coming soon. She looked at him across the screen and said, "tell me what would a good comander do."

"There in lies the problem. If you were to surrender your looking at your people being defeated and if you were fighting against a group like the alliance I would risk all out anhilation against them, make them pay for every bloody inch, since what they will do to you will shatter every bit of your ADD training. However if the enemy is willing to talk and allow you some diginity I would suggest a surrender." I tell her. "So a good commander considers what will happen if he or she accepts the surrender." I tell her.

"In training at the academy we are told when we play this we take responsiblity for our people, and I would make you fight for every inch of space before you get to Earth, but to save Earth what would your terms be." She responded after thinking about what he said.

"My demands are simple. You must provide me with three things. One resources to help cure my people, second until such time you will be under my control, third a free pass to all the all you can eat restruants on your planet." I tell her.

"Those are your terms right. Well two of them are acceptable but you must consider where you are. You are a guest of the ADD and they have basically agreed to help find a cure for your people and the free pass thing is easy but you will never get to earth as long as keep stallingl with the ADD. So those two are basically in your own hands not mine." She said. "The final term where you want control over me, control how this is basically just a game are the stakes meant to be that high. So I need you to clarify your offer in to something more geniue." She said while looking at the screen and him.

I chuckle at her. "Was merely joking around. Since it's against your highest laws to own slaves I was planning to ask you out on a date, this is after all just a game." I tell her.
