It took mere days for word to arrive back home that the Wolfenheim Project had departed New Earth. Commodore Dana Murphy’s sister and her destroyer squadron followed in pursuit, but the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania knew destroyers would be unsuitable for a pursuit operation that would cover hundreds of lightyears at the minimum. So they chose to send a larger cruiser squadron to follow and reinforce Dana’s sister. That is how Dana became involved with the Wolfenheim Project, of course. They thought the optics of sending a sister to support her sister far from home would make their triumphant return more compelling and attractive news for the networks to gush over. They were right on one point. It did make the news. And the networks did fight for the right to interview them. It took far longer than they expected though, and they did not appreciate the news that was written in the end. As many of you remember, Dana Murphy and her sister made a truly compelling story when they returned to Earth after War’s End.
