She shook her head. "We'rrre not rrready forrr that," replied Kit. Her
tail was still slashing but she could sense and smell the tenseness her
reaction had elicited and she tried to relax to put her colleagues at ease.
"If we put on a show of forrrce too earrrly, they'll back off and hit us
somewherrre we arrren't expecting it. Rrright now, we know wherrre they
arrre, and with morrre questioning of the prrrisonerrs, we should be able
to discoverrr some morrre of theirrr timeline. When we have someplace to
strrrike, then we'll call in the Marrrines. Until then, though, I don't
think it's unrrreasonable to get some fighting ships in the arrrea.
Afterrr theirrr rrraid, it's something they'd prrrobably expect so it
wouldn't spook them. Also, boosting local law enforrrcement prrresence.
It'll keep the locals happy that we'rrre including them, and they'll make
an effective earrrly warrrning net to tell us wherrre the enemy is coming
in, as long as they don't decide to go it on theirrr own."
