The atmosphere in the dimly lit meeting room was tense as Otiga, Ashton, Mazton, and Anna gathered to discuss their next move. Otiga, with a no-nonsense attitude, broke the silence with a heavy sigh. Her gaze fixed on Ashton; she couldn't help but express her disbelief.
"You threatened the Xyrans?" Otiga's question hung in the air, a mix of surprise and concern etched on her face. "That's the best thing you could come up with? Don't you have enough enemies at this point?"
The room fell silent, all eyes turning to Ashton, who sat with a sly smile playing on his lips.
"Well, I did what I had to," he replied, his tone unapologetic. "Besides, by gaining their ships, we will have better security around Earth."
