[b]Aeternal Emergency Personal Meeting [i]Absences: Retsukuu Yomo, Deroe Nodus, Gvasty Edr All reasons due to direct combat involvement Immortal Caliber Dining Hall[/i][/b] The mouthwatering scent of grilled meat wafted around the dim room. Significant political figures within the Makudan's governance sat beside each around the round table, which included the Aeternals, selected admiral and governors of important territories, especially the galactic border regions. In front of them was a 3D true-color hologram visual of the Triangulum home galaxy, where brilliant lights litter across its swirling gases and dust. A loud bang from a gavel was heard, signaling the beginning of the meeting. "Alright. Emergency meeting #14, begin. Topic: Potential Level VII race threatening war against the Makudan." Kotonus spoke out. "Let's discuss first their technological overview." Kozir, the famed admiral notable for heading the mission that led to the Zoradean emperor's capture, said calmly and orderly. "As the Allied Interstellar Federation said, they have been able to retrieve the extinct Draconian technology. Since we also have retrieved and modified such technology, that wouldn't be much of a problem. They also say they have the advantage in numbers, but they didn't specify. Regardless of these facts, do not let down your guard. Now for the strategical discussions-" "From where will they come?" Odometus raised a question. "That, we don't know. However, we will place some space stations on galactic borders in all occupied galaxies, with a 350-lightyear distance between each. They will serve as bait for the hostile forces and will emit a signature of a military transmission regularly. If we see one is destroyed, then it is certain that they come from the side from where the station used to be. As for the formations, 5 large fleets in a cone formation with 120,000 ships each, separated two astronomical units from each other, will be the initial starting positions for combat. Reinforcements of the average fleet size will be staying within the planets nearest to the battle. The rest is up to me when the actual combat comes." "Didn't the AIF say to end the war as quickly and with as low casualties as possible?" Governor Scoras inquired. "That, we are also attempting. Flagships will perpetually send ceasefire requests while the battle is ongoing. That being said, only questions remain." "Check for spies!" "Uh, actually, we already have such a device for that set up. And because this meeting is located right at the heart of the Makudan, there are no possible issues here. So, any questions?" Others shook their heads horizontally in a no. "Meeting dismissed. Glad this went without arguments." Everyone stood up and left.
