Immediately following the command, Jason and a team of engineers hurried to the Noah's upper decks. They had exactly one day to dismantle and stow the ship's massive external astronomical arrays.
The primary focus was the Gravitational Wave Telescope. It was the crown jewel of human astronomy, and there was absolutely no way they were leaving it exposed to a supernova. Assuming, of course, that humanity actually survived...
Jason stood before the main display of the Gravitational Wave Telescope, observing the massive, unknown fleet still burning aggressively toward the Solar System.
Their stealth technology was incredible. Standard radio telescopes couldn't detect a single anomalous signature... except for some extremely faint gravitational lensing.
However, detecting that lensing required a telescope to be pointed at the exact right coordinates at the exact right time. If humanity hadn't known they were coming, they would never have spotted them.
