"Why?"
The enemy commander moved slightly and seemed to remember he was restrained. "That is what the General ordered. There is a letter in my coat pocket that I am supposed to hand to the enemy commander upon my capture."
Jace raised an eyebrow under his helmet and opened the man's coat and pulled out a letter. "Did he explain why he gave those orders to you?"
"Yes," The man nodded and glanced at Jace's side where the siren woman was. "He is a fan of history, especially military history. When we arrived in this galaxy that is where we started gathering information first on this galaxy's military. He quickly realized that the Cerberus Unit would likely stretch out and bring most of the nearby systems under its jurisdiction. As such he kept aware of the movements of the spacecraft in orbit and realized an attack would happen soon."
"Then why not warn his fellow occupiers and attempt resistance." Jace asked and realized almost immediately what the answer was.
