Two months later...in the Imperial Throne Room on the pristine planet Xevo I.
Major Thrag: "With the destruction of the small equipment facility on Priat III last night, all of Adon's production and industrial capabilities have been destroyed."
Something's wrong here, Thrag. We've been smashing Adon's industrial base left and right, but we have YET to run into a single Adonian gunship! He is doing SOMETHING to evade us.
"Intel has reached the same conlusion, sir. They have found many traces of sidionic radiation in places known to be Adonian strongholds. However, when we send in the fleet, all we find are discarded ship components and garbage. There aren't even any warp trails to follow."
Hmm...the Adonians...must have stumbled onto a new form of transport. Thrag, I want half the defense budget allocated to researching this. I want this "secret" of Adon's discovered. FAST.
"Yes sir!"
The phenomenon nicknamed “Ultraspace Lightning” flashed, illuminating Lord Adon’s quarters. He stared off into the void of Ultraspace from the observation lounge of his command cruiser. Vice Admiral Strahd stood next to him.
Our fleet is almost ready to launch, is it not?
Vice Admiral Strahd: “Yes, my Lord. In one lightning stroke, we will bring Emperor Float to his knees and you will sit in your rightful place, on the Throne of Worlds.”
And my palace?
Vice Admiral Strahd: “Prepared for the transition to Space-Prime.”
Excellent! Begin moving the fleet. You will lead the first assault.
Strahd clicked his heels together, bowed, and left the room. Within moments, his transport departed for his own command cruiser.
It passed millions of capital ships as well as other support craft, as it threaded its way though the vast maze of orbital construction yards, massive warships, wings of fighters, and supply shuttles. At the heart of Lord Adon’s forces was the Ultraspace Gate, a huge device that could send his forces nearly anywhere in the galaxy in no time at all.
A few days later, General Tacoman is speaking to Emperor Float via holographic figures. The camera first focuses on a large asteroid as we listen to Tacoman, and we rapidly approach an individual window and look inside. We see Tacoman speaking to a hologram of Emperor float.
...and in conjunction with your people and mine, we're building the largest and most powerful space fleet this universe has seen in recent times. In both here and many other hidden facilities scattered around the empire, Super Starships are being built as we speak. Would you care to make an inspection run of this particular facility? I guarantee it would be worth your time. Besides, there is much to discuss about the fleet that can't be talked about over these lines, as somebody might be tuning in and listening.
As you may imagine, General, secrecy is utmost. I will consider your invitation and respond within a day. Your progress is satisfactory. Float out.
