147 Expansion XIII
Back in Liberty Arc and Mia are spending most of their time together exploring and dating, Mia knows Arc would be leaving soon, a few days ago Arc told her he would be leaving into deep space soon for an important mission. Mia was curious but didn't ask more when Arc told her it is a secret he can't tell yet.
She knows Arc has a lot of secrets, but she didn't ask more she figures if Arc wants to tell her she didn't need to ask, and besides, she was happy just being together with Arc.
Dianna and Tiffa along with the group of personnel they brought in from Earth are so busy preparing and organizing the transition of Grand Trading to Space.
Arc didn't really bother Dianna and Tiffa he just makes sure they are safe and with Biggs with them, he didn't have to worry.
He didn't spend a long time on Liberty after 5 days he left to return to Earth to spend more time with his family until it's time for him to depart.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In GFA HQ countless personnel can be seen running all over the place, but in the conference room, the atmosphere is solemn.
"How many?" Ask commander Markos.
"35,065 ships were destroyed on the latest encounter with the Ganesh, we still can't figure out what triggered their sudden aggressiveness many of our fleets are caught unprepared for a sudden full force attack from Ganesh." Said one of the Elder.
Commander Markos along with many top leaders of GFA is having a headache with the situation.
"If this keeps up, our forces will continue to dwindle, our factory can't keep up with the amount of ship we are losing." Said Commander Markos.
"But if we create a bigger fleet many of our territories would be defenseless, but if we don't and this loses continues we would lose more than we gain." Said one of the elders.
"Let's contact the Mercenaries, with their force we can compensate for our lack of Ships." Said another elder.
"If we do this, we would lose a portion of our income." Said a female elder.
"We can't rush this, for now, all we can do is wait. All our factories are already running in full force. But have them speed up the ship production, and if the situation doesn't improve then we can talk about the mercenaries business." Said commander Markos massaging his forehead.
"The good thing is that even though we lost a large number of ships we were able to get a huge amount of materials from the Ganesh, but we need to solve our ship problem ASAP." Said another elder.
"We already contacted all shipbuilders from the alliance, and they are already at full capacity unless we contacted Alien race for building ships I can't see any improvement in the foreseeable future."
Commander Markos is massaging his forehead he was responsible for GFA battleship management and maintenance. He already called everyone he knew to help manufacture battleships that are up to GFA standard, but even with that, the amount they are building is not enough to compensate for what they are losing.
"Do we know the reason for their sudden action to mobilized in full force?"
"No, we have many theories but no conclusive evidence yet. But that doesn't matter what we need to worry about is how we are going to deal with their sudden full force attacks."
"How else? We deal with it like we always do, we have no better option at the moment anyway." Said commander Markos.
Their conference continued, And Arc has no idea of the event as the GFA didn't make it public, and Eve's influence in space is very limited not like on Earth.
As the GFA and Grand Army are busy dealing with their businesses Arc was having a good time with his family he promises them he would accompany them until the time for him to leave, so he left all to Oda regarding the Grand Army and to Diana and Emily the Grand Trading Corporation.
Time passes and Arc has been accompanying his family to relaxed and visiting many beautiful places on Earth along with Jarvis and the maids as well as Biggs and Wedge and their most beloved pet Cosmos.
5 days Ago he receives a confirmation on the mission completion.

SYSTEM UPGRADE.
That was Nine last notification before undergoing a System Upgrade and Arc has been waiting for over 5days but the only thing he can see as he tried to open the system is a countdown timer that said 04:23:59:10 meaning five days more to complete the upgrade and now only 10 minutes left to finish the upgrade, and He was a little excited for it.
Over the last few days, the situation on the War is quite Bad the massive deployment of Ganesh have made the GFA on a defensive stance, and because of the lack of ships they are forced to abandon some strategic location on space to make up for the lack of ships, fortunately for them Arc found out about it and have some of the drone clusters protect those locations in secret, to prevent GFA from being overwhelmed. Giving them a much-needed breathing room.
As for Oda, with Oda leading the Grand Army along with Mariel they were able to perfectly take over Maharlika without much bloodshed, on both sides especially on Grand Army side, but there was a lot of injuries but with the help of Health solutions, those injuries become a proud battle scar that some soldiers ask the doctors to leave the scars after healing it making the doctors bewildered but complied nonetheless. The Maharlikans fought hard and bravely but with the superior technology of the Grand Army even with only using non-lethal weapons they were still powerless to resist it, many realized that the invaders weren't really after their lives when they notice they are using non-lethal weapons and surrendered peacefully.
But there are those who didn't care and continue to fight like a mad man even when all odds are against them leaving the Grand Army no choice but severely injured them to subdue them.
SYSTEM REBOOTING…
REBOOT COMPLETE…
UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL...
The notification wake Arc up from his stupor.
