Nice to see your still going and not a bad chapter.
Still it does seem odd 'word reaching then navy' I mean they of all people need to know what the enemy is doing.
Stil going with TWs I see, nice fudge on those technobabble focusing lense by the way
. Still may I introduce you to the simple joy of KE weapons: Take one 6kg lump, accelerate up to 0.1c and it will do about the same damage as one of those spinal I-Lasers (in pure MT terms at least) as well as being far smaller. Something to think about perhaps?
