1003 Distress Call

Only hours after Max had returned to his ship after the Mourning Ceremony, they received a distress call from a planet near the Rift. They were a few star systems away and had received no warning of the arrival of the enemy forces. They just appeared out of nowhere and put some sort of barrier over the planet before invading.

"Should we go? It looks like nobody else has answered the call yet." Nico suggested.

It had only been about fifteen seconds, so of course, any larger force wouldn't have been able to make a decision yet, but they had the flexibility to go anywhere, and Max really did want to get away from all the formalities.

"Answer that we are bringing the Terminus Trading Company force. Then privately tell the Anomaly Defence force to wait here for the ships full of drones to arrive so that they don't have to be the main battle force for their excursions." He agreed.
