returned to the Union. Judging from the way the war was going before they started on their journey, if they had went straight home from Earth, they would have arrived just before the Union’s defeat.”
“You assume that the Union couldn’t have survived.” He said.
“We have done extensive projections based on the historical data we had available. There was no chance of Union survival. They might have delayed the end by a couple hundred years but there was nothing else they could have done, they were too badly outmatched.”
“Do you believe that whoever attacked them could come here?”
“The chance of that happening are slim to none, even the arrival of the Union ship on Earth was a very unlikely event, and this is even more unlikely. The galaxy is vast, there were many more possible venues of expansion much closer to their side of the galaxy. The only reason the Union came here was because they wanted to go somewhere they wouldn’t be found. So no, there is almost no chance of that happening.”
“And yet , we now know that there are many races out there, there is a chance that one of them might find us sooner rather than later.” He said.
“Yes there is a chance of that. But in the addition of regular Union star chart s we recovered some survey data from this region of space that the ship took before coming to Earth. It seems that our part of space is sparsely populated, and according to the survey our closest neighbors are at least 100 light years away, and at the time of their survey they haven’t developed any technology, they had barley started using tools.”
“Well that makes me feel a bit better, but they still had thirteen thousand years to advance.”
“And so did we.” She said with a smile.
“Anything else I need to know?”
“Nothing else, we still haven’t translated the parts of the data that are in other languages, nor have we finished reading the translated parts yet, and there are still a few items on the ship we couldn’t identify.”
“Alright then, I guess that we are done here. You can return to your project and I have a lot of adjustments to make to my plans.” Tomas said rising from his seat.
“Alright, I’ll send you the written copy of the report.” She said taping her datapad a few times.
“Thank you Seo-yun. It looks like the things are about to get very interesting.”
Part Two - The Expansion
Chapter Seven
August 2093 – Eleven years later
Elias Bakas, head of security for Olympus ran down the streets of some backwater village in southern Venezuela at full sprint trying to keep himself from getting shot. The hostile forces weren’t supposed to be there and yet they were shooting at him. His team was running ahead of him, all three of them that were still in the game, the rest of his nine men team have been taken out in the ambush. Elias slid down the ground and into a house through a hole in the wall. The house was poorly built and didn’t provide much cover other than from sight. The enemy bullets ripped through the walls of the small village house all around him, some bouncing off the ground or inner walls and striking his armor. He wore a new generation of powered nano battlesuits developed by Olympus, the suit itself weighed about 60 kg and was made from new type of nano carbon fibers, courtesy of the research derived from the alien craft they found eleven years ago. The suit itself was powered by three of the new type of batteries developed by Olympus, they were earth technology inspired by alien concepts, and could store enormous amounts of energy for their size, they were small and could fit just beneath the armor without making it seem bulky like some previous attempts at a powered suit. And the adaptive energized nano technology made it much stronger than the previous incarnations as well. It could run mostly unpowered on its user’s strength alone without losing any protection. The battlesuit was capable of repairing itself, though that
