Even though the three pilots were still traveling at high speed, the trench seemed eerily calm. Gold Five glanced out of his cockpit window and said, “Stabilize your rear deflectors. Watch for enemy fighters.”

“I don’t like it,” growled Red Leader. But there was nothing to confuse their approach now, no energy bolts to avoid.
It was Pops who was first to properly evaluate this seeming aberration on the enemy’s part. “Stabilize your rear deflectors now. Watch for enemy fighters.”
