Diplomatic Help Commander Diremonteis' phone rang. Even though it was a custom-made 2200 model, it was an ancient way of communication. Diremonteis liked it, however. It showed his family's connection with Seriphona da Los' distant past, before they even discovered an actual Universe around them. He picked it up. It was from the Earth Alliance's President. He wanted him to participate to the diplomatic meeting with the Orcs, which was already progressing. Diremonteis smiled as he closed the phone. He didn't have a diplomatic meeting for ages. "Porentois" he called his cadet, who rushed into the room. "Prepare the Quantum Gate. We're leaving." Back on the Grid Scout Fleet Beta was -visually- peacefully soaring the space. While it had the same name as the Fleet who discovered the Earth Alliance, it was completely different. It consisted of 11 radar ships, 4 intergalactic communication ships, 9 destroyers, a munitions teleporter ship, a command ship, and an omnimissile carrier -and yet, it was considered a casual fleet now. At the Command ship, the communications ship Gamma sent a message it just received. The fleet's commander, a young but exhausted by the difficulties man, picked up the signal. He hated his life, despite the fatc that he was one of the figures of power in the galaxy. However, he would not rest until he had taken redemption. "What do you want this time?" he said, with a voice so bitter it could have poisoned a man. "And I swear to Rimoneas (like saying God), if it is about the crews' buffet again, I'm going to punch your head back to Rochetin ." "Is that you, Commander Serohimean? I have some big news. And it is not about the buffet." The comms master had to take a breath before continuing. "Sir, this time, it is not a false signal. We found him." Serohimean Sokolat froze, which let the comms master continue. "But sir, I'm not sure you're going to like what else we found."
