They had just returned from finding the scout ship near the dome. Council Leader Vorik was rushing to his command center on Earth to notify the fleet to keep a lookout for Kreq disks. He also told them to plan for battle discreetly. He didn't want the Kreq to find out that they knew they were there. If they knew, the Kreq would attack the fleet immediately. He didn't want that. He wanted as much time as he could get before anything would happen. He wanted time to prepare for battle.
Council Leader Vorik had ordered everyone in the fleet to train and wear full battle gear and blasters at all times. The Kreq had a habit of infiltrating battle cruisers. He needed to both warn his fleet and to have them prepare in the event of a surprise attack from the Kreq ships.
