The bridge of the Wormeara was very quiet, it's Turbolasers and Ion Cannons
idle. Barely a whisper was heard from the crew pits. Grand Admiral Worm
said nothing, but gazed out to space.
"Maybe I underestimated Warrde," Worm said, "I thought the Battle
Razor would disable his ship for me."
"So did I, Sir." Welleon coughed up.
"At ease Captain; we can always catch him at his backup base."
"Backup Base?"
"Yes Captain, that is correct; I have already sent the Constrainer to
catch him. We will find him, and with him the Watana fleet."
"Wild Warrde, your request for landing permission has been granted, proceed to Dockyard 5." "Roger that control, we'll begin our landing at once", Warrde said regretfully. The Worm Republic seemed to like military protocol. Warrde thought this while the Wild Warrde entered the clear atmosphere on Waboo, flanked by a pair of V-Wings, curved fighters, they looked like a sideways crescent, only this crescent was armed. A solemn reminder of the war that raged. As the Assault Shuttle landed it was greeted by Waboo customs officials. After all the paperwork the Wild Warrde took off and headed for a remote location in the Great Forest of Waboo. They landed at a small clearing and proceeded to pitch their tents. While this was going on, Walon decided to lay low for a while until the Termites gave up their search. But no, with Grand Admiral Worm leading them.the Termites would never give up. They would hunt them down like animals. The Termites have probably sent Interdictors to all neutral systems, he thought. His time was short. He was right.but he was not the only one who thought this.
Admiral Wackbar called an emergency meeting of the Worm High Council to discuss the war situation. In several small raids the Termites had destroyed or captured five Worm Frigates, nine Wormnaughts, and two Worm Cruisers. A third cruiser had been crippled and was still under repair. To make matters worse there was a shortage of able-bodied Worms to man the remaining ships. A dispute commenced. Wackbar was the first to speak. "Gentleworms, the situation is grim," he said. "We don't have enough ships and we don't have the wormpower to man the ships we have. I suggest.conscription." That caused uproar in the council. "We aren't an army Admiral, we have an army," councilor Weia interjected. "We must maintain the level of living standards for our citizens." After a 9-3 vote the council defeated any idea of conscription. The council did decide thought, to hire mercenaries to supplement the Worm Republic Navy. Weia was the only dissenter.
