Aurelian paused.
"You already did?"
"She sent it."
Of course she had.
Seraphiel continued.
"Her processing ability exceeds mine by a wide margin."
"That isn't why."
"Then why?"
"Because you don't need to replace her. You need to work with her."
Seraphiel considered that.
"Separate mobile coordination node."
"Exactly."
If Eirenne could send processed information through Seraphiel during battle, the fleet would gain something close to a second command layer without forcing every decision through Aurelian personally.
That would become even more useful when Annex Seven's long-range relay was fully restored.
Meridian finished adding the changes.
"Seraphiel can begin limited field testing in three days."
"Not four?"
"I moved one team from the carrier inspection."
Aurelian looked at her.
"The carrier we already decided not to restore?"
"Yes."
"Why were they inspecting it?"
Meridian stared at him.
"Because you asked me to inspect the remaining sealed military hulls."
