One of Caitlin’s security guards, Jack, entered the Presidential Office from a side door.

“Madam President, it’s a full-scale invasion.” Jack said appraising the room. “It’s not safe for you any longer on the Moon.”

“We’ll take the emergency shuttle to Mars,” Caitlin said.

Jack frowned, “Mars isn’t safe either, and travel by official vehicles is not advised. I’m to escort you incognito to neutral territory until security can be reestablished, Madam Viceroy as well.”

“Neutral territory?” Caitlin asked as Jack led the two women down a back passage, the sound of battle fading.

“The Confederation of the Moons of Jupiter.”
