768 768 Meet the Arisen

[Defense Line Command, this is Commander Keres Max, inbound for damage control. With me are Cleansing Light and Shattered Pride] Max announced when they passed through the Portal to reach the group of Cygnus vessels gathered around the anomaly. 

[Good to hear from you, Commander. Please pass through directly at no more than one-quarter of standard sublight speed. The Koleska hold the other side of the breach.] The defence force informed him abruptly, and Max noticed that they had a lot of Mecha on duty in space in case of attack. 

"Are all the modifications finished?" Max double-checked with Nico as he piloted the ship through to meet a new alien species.
