"This is obviously a hoax Admiral." The President said.
"No hoax, the techs tripled checked it Mister President." The Admiral said.
"Admiral the Intrepid was a lost ship, its a cautionary tale told to new recruits, the ghost ship commanded by one of the most hated enemies of the Colonies, its experimental worm hole generators doomed it to wander space forever." The President said.
The Admiral shook his head.
"What little information we salved from the old Earth government after the war was incomplete, but we where able to salvage the databases on mars Mister President, its classified information, but it appears that Earth received a distress signal from deep space, beyond where any human has ever explored, the old earth government sent one U.S.S. Dauntless to investigate it." The Admiral said handing the Admiral a file.
"Apparently the Dauntless found something out there, something that according to its message drone involved the Intrepid." The Admiral said.
The President raised an eyebrow looking over the file.
"Admiral the message only said it found the colony ship Intrepid destroyed, crew has been killed, Dauntless is lost, worm hole tech extremely dangerous." The President said skeptically.
The Admiral nodded.
"Exactly Mister President, look at the facts here, we have a Colony ship commanded by the most feared Commander of the first Colonial war, we have an extremely advance battle ship filled with outlawed technology, both ships were ships from Earth gov." The Admiral said.
The President looked at the Admiral.
"I am not following Admiral?" The President said.
"Mister President the Dauntless used the same Golem technology that Earth used against us in the war, How many died on our side while earths soldiers sat in their command chairs back at home, fighting a War by remote, the war had no cost to them, thats why the decision was made to bring the war to their door step, thats why the Colonial fleet sacrificed so much to destroy Earth." The Admiral said, his voice rising.
