It's Not Failure
#1
"The-Your plan is working perfectly, sir. Only two transports lost so far. They can't get past our screening elements."
"Of course it is. The fools can't see that the transports hold our armies."
#2
"Only a single transport lost, sir, and we've claimed a Battlecruiser in return."
Just a smile this time, lording over the space.
#3
"S-still as planned. The vast majority of our transports go untouched."
A slight frown, but one quickly replace by magnaminous approval.
#4
"They haven't been targeting the Transports, they've been going for the light craft!"
"Well? Remind me what our Admiral's doing?"
#5
"T-the Admiral desires approval for his plan. He- he says our Transports are too-well guarded for us to strike them, so-"
"Granted."
#6
"It-it- we've lost all our attack craft. A Grand Cruiser, dozens of.."
"Well, they've succeeded in finding the ambushes, haven't they?"
#7
"Could their Diviner have gotten the plan? They've done too well.."
"Mere luck given by their so-called 'Saint'. Proceed with the plan."
"Sir-"
A gunshot, and a body crumpling to the ground.
"Proceed with the plan."
