The days continued to pass one after another as Ves and Gloriana kept the project going. The pair invested an increasing amount of attention to the project, to the point where they began to lose track of what was happening in the rest of the galaxy!
Even though the two liked to pretend they put the galaxy on pause, current events were still progressing at their own pace.
The sandmen fleets that halted their mindless charge into human-occupied planets still converged to a location within the territory of the former Coman Federation. It was difficult for the Bright Republic and other forces to know for sure because the density of sandmen constantly increased the closer they tried to sneak their scout ships into this exceedingly perilous space!
Due to the extensive amount of time needed for the sandmen to complete their mass convergence, the MTA had plenty of time to form a response.
