The Fleet heard Underhill's transmission and with the countdown and hostilities already displayed, one of the Admirals couldn't let the unnecessary bloodshed begin. Aela: "Cerberus, I am Admiral Aela'Xera vas Defrahnz of the Migrant Fleet. You have my attention and I will meet your demands on behalf of the Admiralty Board. Before I take you at your word, I would like to talk to Admiral Xea'Valun vas Talonata to confirm the survivors." While Aela was transmitting, she was trying to stall Alex's countdown long enough to get the other Admirals in line with her before making any sort of arrangement. At least asking for Zea would provide her the comfort of knowing that Cerberus was being true to their word.
