Kais was standing on his ramp, overwatching the training grounds beneath him. This month's new recruits, slightly over two million. He himself had long given up on training them and had given that task to his secondary commanders who had enough renown to be known by everyone in the alliance. As he stood upon the ramp, one of the government officials approached him, namely a war-veteran diplomat named Aunshi.
''Kais, the Spectres have found something of interest from two nearby systems. One from the Snotling homeworld and one from a system inhabited by a faction named the grand federation of Britannia. From what we can tell from our interceptions and readings, the activity on both have been increasing above the usual and some ancient alien message was picked up from a world inhabited by the federation. It said something about a fount of knowledge and a ship design. We have no idea if the two are connected or if the ship design is the fount of knowledge. We didn't get the design either, we just know of it. We require you to do two things. Send messages to the outer worlds and tell them to up their scans from the snotlings and have their defence units ready for battle, also send them reinforcements. Second, prepare a fleet that can travel towards this so called Federation. It is advised by the Spectres that you bring minimal ammounts of soldiers as to not seem aggresive, although keep in mind it will take a long time for reinforcements, so bring what you see fit.'' As Kais listened he started thinking of possible outcomes to this but his thoughts cut short as his duty was made clear and replied the diplomat, ''I will make sure to notify the outer sections. And you can inform the Spectres I will bring two Army Regions, each consisting of two and a half million soldiers and split it into groups of five-hundred-thousand each with a general of their own.'' As Kais prepared to leave, Aunshi haulted him and started to speak in a harsh, no discussions tone ''I will be comming with you and I will take command of one of the 500k units. You will also be required increase production on the new prototype suit and finalize it so we can use it in our assault, if it comes to that.'' Kais nodded as he replied ''Will do, if you are to come, please talk to the other generals. They will be situated in the War Council in one hour.'' At that, they both nodded and left to do their duties.
Later that day, in another quadrant of the world
As Rovun was walking along the production quarters, he took the nearby shuttle towards the mining shafts and digsites. As he arrived a worked sprinted directly towards him, screaming with a certain ammount of glee ''Rovun! We found something! We were just continuing to expand digsite 624B to prospect for minerals when we found this ruin. Our foreman went in with two workers and when he came out he was rambling on about some ship design or whatever.'' Rovun's eyes expanded to an unnatural size, remembering Kais' orders from earlier about finishing the prototype suits as he said something ship designs from a foreign planet. He grabbed the worker's arm and dragged him into the shuttle and launched it towards the military council.
As he arrived he immediatly ran for Kais, finding him just leaving the council with Aunshi. As he approached he screamed in an exhausted voice ''Commander! Gracious Aunshi! We found something simillar to that ship thingy you talked about. This workman can tell you about it.'' As Rovun started to catch his breath the workman explained ''Well, we found this ancient ruin and as me and the foreman and another worker entered, this voice started speaking to us about the galactic core and a fount of knowledge and then some ship designs. Our foreman has already started preparing the designs for building, although it may take awhile.'' In response to theese news Aunshi turned towards Kais with a certain demeanour ''Kais, our plans have changed. Me and you will still travel to the Federation but with the proposal of working together. I also need you to find someone capable of researching what the galactic core is and what dangers it may posses.'' Kais nodded as he walked off to appoint said man as Aunshi bowed to Rovun and the worker, speaking as he did so. ''Thank you for this information, it has been of most help. If you wouldn't mind, could you lead me to this ruin?'' Rovun and the worker both nodded as they started to lead the way, wondering what Aunshi would do.
