I replied, "I’m all ears, Colonel. If you want to coordinate from there, I will follow your commands as best I can." The Colonel continued, "If I was the Duke, I would mass that fleet between the planet and those Carions. We’ve created a kind of dead spot in our defenses there, as we want to try to funnel the attack through that point. We increased our gun mounts and positioned our men for the bulk of them coming right down that pipe. When the fighting starts, the Colossuns should naturally be drawn into the lower orbits of the dead zone. We will be waiting." I brought the defense diagrams up on my holo-display. "What would you have me focus on, Colonel?" The Colonel replied, "The circular green lines on the diagram outline the funnel.
