Chapter 101

The Eclipse was en route to a remote, supposedly peaceful planet known as Serene-9. Nestled in a quiet corner of the galaxy, Serene-9 was famed for its lush landscapes and tranquil atmosphere, making it the perfect location for a much-needed respite. However, the team knew better than to let their guard down entirely.

As they approached Serene-9, Wil received a priority message from Dr. Sinclair. "Wil, there's something you need to know. We picked up unusual signals from Serene-9. They match the energy signatures we encountered from the rogue Arkan faction. I suspect we might be walking into another situation."

Wil frowned. "Understood, Dr. Sinclair. We'll proceed with caution."

The Eclipse landed on the outskirts of a dense forest. The planet was indeed beautiful, with towering trees, vibrant flora, and clear skies. The tranquility of the environment stood in stark contrast to the tension the team felt.
