The Masters' Gambit, page 23
part #20 of Robotech Series
The Masters fell silent. At last, Dag asked, "What would you have us do, Elders?"
"Cultivate patience. Wait to see what the Zentraedi have in mind, but conceal yourselves from them. Neither approach nor offer response to their hailings. Instead, begin a slow journey toward Earth; use the planets of that system for cover. Establish contact with us when you have positioned yourselves close enough to scan Earth's surface for readings of Protoactivity. Then, and only then, shall we assess the veracity of Zand's pronouncements."
The Masters kowtowed. "And where will you be, Elders?"
"We will remain in close proximity to Haydon Four, for reasons that shall be revealed in due time,"
"We will prevail, Elders," Shaizan said. "The matrix will be ours once more. The glory of our empire will be refashioned, and we will rule supreme in the Fourth Quadrant."
"It is to be hoped," Elder Hepsis answered him as the communications sphere began to collapse on itself and close.
