A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters. But when you're alive, there's hope. The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice. Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. Or. Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself. https://discord.gg/kBKaTtsrpb
The Abyssal attacks have created a new status quo in their favor. In the future attacks, they'd have better starting point advantages.
But overall, the Federation didn't consider this war as a great loss. For one, even if the humans saw many casualties, the Abyssals had nearly equal deaths.
Originally, Humans lost a few million soldiers more than Abyssals. But with Varian sweeping thirty planetoids by himself, the gap was quickly closed.
And secondly, even if the Abyssals did occupy some strategic locations in the planetoids and in rare ocassions, occupied a planetoid itself, they didn't gain any breaking edge.
Mercury, Venus and Earth were still pretty much safe.
Mars, which had the potential risk of falling, could now be considered as the planetoid with the planet with best defenses.
