As things began to finally calm down for Cannon, war started. Admiral Maylander (US Navy) decides to start his own personal secret war with the Blue. At the same time, the Black, an ancient underwater race from which the Blue evolved, reappears. The Black kidnap Aspen as Maylander orders an attack on the shallow water city known as Saba. Cannon, now Elite Commander of Council Defense, requests that the council allow aid to be given to Saba. However the Council declares that since Saba was built in shallow waters outside of the set boundaries by the council, the city must be left to defend itself.Cannon refuses to accept this, and chooses to help his people rather than watch them die. Cannon orders the council's strike force, made up of Kiani, Siphon, and Brande, to save as many survivors as possible. Using a jump rift in the water to gain quick access to the city, they arrive too late as most of the city has already been destroyed. Cannon and his team as still able to save the city's leader, Thassalar and a few survivors. Cannons group and the survivors use the rift to jump back to safety just as Maylander orders ships after Cannon's team.Unfortunately, the return to the capital city was not one of celebration. Cannon is awaited by an armed group of the Council Defense, led by Kreeg, with orders to apprehend Hawke on charges of treason. Cannon surrenders without resistance, aware that he disobeyed the order of the council. However while in captivity, Taras takes over Cannons mind, defeats the guards, and escapes to the surface.
