Empty Space

[prismphantom]

And that makes another alien threat extinguished.  Two actually... or maybe even three if you count Unicron as something separate from the Decepticons.  Almost hard to believe the solar system was playing host to so many fleets even a year ago that all wanted each other dead.

[Selena has a delicious post-victory Spanish dinner cooked up for her courtesy of Elma.  The little subot will even take orders if anyone else wants something special to have.  Things should be great, although...]



... Of course, that's one less mutual enemies for all our other enemies to have to worry about fighting now too.

Oh, thank you Elma.

[Setsuko is enjoying herself, with a plate full of food and a beer. No sweets, but that comes later, right?]

That was one of the greatest threats to humanity yet, and we won! No, everyone won, we worked together.


But... it's true. Balmarians, Zentradi and Wulgaru - weren't they all fighting each other?

[prismphantom]

Indeed they were. Space really doesn't seem to be the place where alliances flourish, and right now we've "cleared the board" as it were. If anyone comes back with another large striking force, we won't be able to count on them getting distracted by another fleet.



But... if it happens then it happens. And we shouldn't worry about it too much unless it does.

[star_of_sad]

We don't know where the Zentradi went off to. Or what the Wulgaru are up to, for that matter...

But you're right. There is no need to worry so much. And...

It feels like we have been through the worst already. And somehow we came out on the other side, alive.

I hope you do not mind cooking for a larger company.

[Following Hetepheres, three Gebians come in - and they are nowhere near as composed as her as they start consuming the dinner without hesitation.]

Only Balmarians are a serious extraterrestial threat to Earth at this point. And with how much power some of their units possess, the current situation is better for us.

[prismphantom]

That we did. And with the big troublemakers out of the way, we can put more focus on everyone who thought they could still strike it rich with all those threats looming over us in the sky.

[prismphantom]

If three more people were too much for me, I wouldn't be much of a cook.

Indeed he wouldn't be.

[Another bite of her omelet, and Selena thinks on Heph's words.]

And you're right. Even though the Balmarians haven't made any move to replace the fleet they've lost... they still launched at least a small attack around Sakihama. Probably searching for Armana.

[star_of_sad]

Like who, the NUNE?

I believe in stopping tyrants and terrorists but... I wonder. I wonder, are we going to overstep our bounds.

[abugslife]

Or probing our defenses. While the recent chaos surely turned their intelligence attempts into disarray, I would expect an attack of a larger scale to happen in the near future.

[Hetepheres herself grabs a plate, and tastes the food.]

Could use a little bit of maple syrup.
