Sending the ship crew into full battle stations as they fear they'll get noticed by a non-Piikalan vessel. Amidst the chaos, the Lei-o-mano manages to escape the worse of the shock due to an alien ship's hull taking the brunt, with both stealth ships heading to the respective astroid motherships to recharge their batteries for their main weapons and access the data from their new weapon.

The UPPERCUT after being in dry dock for a few days is back to full combat operations, its new escort fleet is made up by the new model of heavy cruiser which wasn't present in the first fleet. The new model now has advanced shields and a new MAC and defense system. The UPPERCUTS new objective is to patrol Earth and watch the monolith for any movement or aggression of Earth and her colonies.
