With the guards making a move, peace returned to the area and Arran was free to observe his target.Pointing his hand at the person of interest, Arran called out once again, "You, the one with the gray skin, you're the one I'm referring to... come up, let me get a look at you."With Arran giving a detailed description of who he was calling to this time, there was no way to misunderstand him anymore.At once, the people gathered in the direction Arran pointed to immediately cleared a way through them, thus finally revealing the hidden figure that was sandwiched between them.There was no way to mistake this person, as she was the only gray-skinned individual in the surrounding area.As soon as this person was revealed, Arran finally got a clear look at her. Arran found her face to be a bit familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. Trying to recall, Arran finally remembered where he had seen her face.It was when Arran had first reveal

Let us rewind time a bit...During the time when Arran's identity was being verified in Fort Crawford, back on the Aeth home planet, an alert signal was triggered at the same time.Just as this signal was triggered, it was immediately picked up by the relevant department. Before long, a series of predetermined strings of processes was conducted to verify the authenticity of the alert. After everything was done and it was confirmed to be a valid alert, this signal was immediately filed and sent further up the chain to be verified once more.This process was repeated a few times before, finally, it reached the desk of the council members.Currently, due to dealing with the aftermaths of the invasion of the shades and the subsequent retaliation of the Aeth, the council members were swamped with work and they were too busy to take care of matters that were not important.Of the thirteen council members, the only one with some free time on his hands was

Listening to Trapp's explanation on the specialty of Fort Crawford's main area, Arran was deeply amazed by what he learned. Thinking of the mysterious wormhole that was sitting in the core of the space station, Arran was really impressed. After Trapp finished explaining things to Arran, fell into deep thought. Considering things from a certain perspective, Arran understood that Fort Crawford was figuratively speaking, sitting on top of a large gold mine, one that could constantly produce an untold amount of wealth. This wormhole that constantly spat out trash from its belly was like a goose that laid golden eggs. One may call these eggs trash since they couldn't be eaten, but then again, another person could consider it to be the most precious thing in the whole universe. Basically, the way Arran saw it, the things that came out of the wormhole were actually trash that was dumped and abandoned in the universe. There were lost technologies, unusual devices, an

The car carrying Arran and Trapp continued to head towards the auction house and colosseum. the closer they were to the two buildings, the clearer Arran could observe them. Arran found himself becoming even more amazed the closer he got to the auction house, but as the car slowed down, Arran's attention was drawn to other things in the area.For example, Arran was surprised at the amount of traffic that was in the area surrounding the auction house and the colosseum. The place was like a central hub of activity. Various cars, few in the sky, like bees surrounding their hive and on the ground. The people looked like packs of ants moving about and foraging for food from where Arran was seeing them in the sky.But after thinking about it for a moment, Arran felt that this made a lot of sense. After all, the auction house and the colosseum were the two most important facilities in the whole main area.One was where you could bid on the things that came

"What!""The Aeth are sending a fleet over here?""Why?""For what reason?""This is all too sudden!"The news of the Aeth sending a fleet to Fort Crawford came as a shock to all the managers present here and they started to panic a little. Each of them started bombarding Lorne with questions as they tried to learn why the Aeth would be sending a whole fleet to their station.The reason why these managers were so panicked is that of how high profile the Aeth had been in recent times. Due to the matter of the Aeth retaliating against the shades that had happened some time ago, the Aeth had become the focus of attention for the whole Ether, and anything that they did during this period would come under scrutiny from the others. The other races and civilizations paid close attention to any activity or movement the Aeth did during this period just so they would be prepared in case the Aeth suddenly turned their cannons on them.Although i
