Command
Lillibeth enjoyed being Base Command of a listening post on Ikanni, the home of a branch of dark elves of Admar. When the death of the local politician sends the inhabitants of the base fleeing to the stars, Lilli is left to make sure that they all manage to leave intact before the locals arrive. Locked in her quarters, she tries to remain calm, but the strangers infesting the base are getting closer with every moment.
Moving his people to the newly abandoned Alliance base was a serious matter. Orriko felt the obligation of stepping into his father’s shoes but his predecessor’s fondness for the base was still a mystery. When he finds that one member of staff is still on the base he decides to seek her out and meeting the human woman is more of a shock to his system than he could have anticipated.
Dark elves, disembodied advanced species and one befuddled human woman take a world by storm.

Not sure I'd like working for someone who doesn't count me in their evacuation plans!

This story worked better as short story than a lot of Ms. Grace's other short stories.
The time frame in which it was suppose to take place was shorter and it was in the same environment, which made the whole plot less chopped up.
Story: On an inhabitable planet lies a base surrounded by semi-hostile aliens. The leader - who sanctioned the Alliance base - dies there. The new leader, his son, comes for his father and to chase out the invaders, but only finds the female Base Commander left - a friend of his fathers.
The characters?
She (h) was very cool. I liked her personality. He (H) was more than okay, downright yummy! Though I would have wanted shown more "real emotion" from him (his father just died and she was the most upset.)
Additional?
It's a sci-fi with a Dark Elvish race, can it get any better?
