With the battle over in their region for the moment, Max and Nico returned to their ship, where Yuri was waiting at the airlock to congratulate them on their performance.
"You did a fine job, and that final transfer, to anticipate the arrival of the attack on the planet, was masterful. You saved a lot of lives today." He welcomed them once Max opened the door for him.
"It's our pleasure. We have seen similar techniques before, and attacks that seem to be against a less important target are often a diversion for another offensive. It could have been one well outside of our position, but usually, it's only far enough to draw the local defence forces away.
The Arisen is an interesting target. They seem to have an incredible variety of knowledge about the battle techniques, but we can't seem to find any information on where they might have originated." Max replied.
