"Command, this is Ghost Lead. We have incoming hostiles. Count: fifty plus."

"Copy, Ghost Lead. All ships scramble."

Captain Elena Vasquez led her squadron into the void, their Starhawks forming up behind her. Ambassador Kaelen's people had warned them of this enemy-the Swarm, they called them. No diplomacy. No surrender. Only consumption.

"They're heading for Mars," Marcus Webb said.

Elena studied her tactical display. "We cut them off at the asteroid belt."

The two fleets met in a storm of rock and fire. Elena's cannons tore through the first wave, but more kept coming.

"They're swarming us," Marcus said.

Elena fired her last missile, clearing a path. "Pull back. Regroup at the rally point."

The squadron turned, burning hard for the safety of the belt. Behind them, the Swarm gave chase.

"Command, we're overwhelmed. Requesting reinforcements."

"Copy, Ghost Lead. Kaelen's fleet is en route. ETA ten minutes."

Ten minutes. Elena looked at her ammunition-empty.

"Fix bayonets," she said.

Marcus laughed, a hollow sound. "We're in space."

"Then use your wings."

The Swarm closed in. Elena fired her thrusters, ramming her Starhawk into an enemy fighter. The ship crumpled, exploding in a silent bloom of fire.

"One down," she said.

Marcus followed suit, his Starhawk tearing through another.

The alien fleet wavered, then scattered as Kaelen's ships arrived, their blue beams cutting through the Swarm.

"Command, the enemy is retreating."

"Copy, Ghost Lead. Good work. Come home."

Elena turned her Starhawk toward Earth, her squadron forming up behind her.

The war was far from over. But today, they had won.

She touched the photograph of her family, tucked into her flight suit.

"I'm coming home," she whispered.

The stars watched in silence.

The battle was just beginning.

But Elena Vasquez was ready.

She had to be. The Swarm would return.

And she would be waiting.
