This fleet is the Alliance’s last hope.” Bloch leaned close, speaking more softly. “Dauntless has the key onboard. Do you understand? This ship must get home. Somehow. The hypernet key must get back to the Alliance. If we can do that there’ll still be a chance.”\u003cbr\u003e It wasn’t like Geary would be in charge forever. Bloch would negotiate with the Syndics, then return and be back in command.
