1120 Preparations for War (1)
Vindicator Vex stood at the observation deck of Maynard Island's central command, his eyes scanning the multiple screens in front of him. The vast, circular command center housed many floating screens displaying any kind of data. The room's round shape made it easy to see all the screens from anywhere the Vindicator stood. There were multiple stations there, and each boasted a state-of-the-art holographic computer manned by an expert operator. There was a hum echoing the room from the advanced machines and worried whispers from the various people present. Everyone in that room knew sothing big was going to happen. They were sure of it.
Vex's post stood at the heart of this controlled chaos. An unobstructed view of the entire room gave him perfect control of the operation. "Any sign of them?" he asked at the nearby technician.
"We have nothing concrete yet, sir. But our long-range sensors are picking up unusual energy signatures approaching from the south. We sent so drones to find out what these are, but there is no doubt Erik Romano is coming, bringing an army with him."
Vex nodded. It was finally starting.
Two days earlier, they had lost all communication with Levium. This silence ant only one thing—the man had been killed. Erik Romano could now advance towards them unhindered. It wasn't that Levium was there to stop him, anyway. Levium had been sent by the third division commander to catch Erik. Had he been successful, this attack wouldn't happen. But they hadn't been lucky. Levium's failure ant more people were going to die. Erik Romano's attack on Maynard Island was inevitable.
