And It Starts

That same day, Flavio met with Lucas in his spaceship. "We haven't seen each other face to face for a long time already, have we? How long has it been, ten thousand years?" The weight of their shared history hung heavy in the air.

"I wouldn't see you again for the next ten million years if I could help it," Flavio commented, not feeling very happy. "I see you brought another Omni Vortex."

Lucas nodded. "Yes, I just so happened to have one at hand."

"It is useless, though," Flavio commented. "You should have read the reports."

"I did," Lucas was aware of the problem. "According to the reports, the enemy somehow put their hands in our Garisan Universe encryption key. After they managed to hack into our signal, they used that key and got your Omni Vortex destroyed. Wasn't it?"

"So?" Flavio narrowed his eyes.
