Resurgence - Loss of All Things[]
July 3152
Chapter 1
She doesn’t know what to say. She doesn’t know what to think. Sian… Billions of Capellans. Look back at the image, you have to take it in now. It was an asteroid. It was covered in panels, boosters attached to it, and on the back, right in the center were the two emblems. A purple bird and a sword atop a sunburst.
The acting Maskirovka Zang shu er also known as the Chancellor’s Ear sits across from Danai Liao-Centrella’s desk. “Chancellor, I have already put all of our commands under alert, those that aren’t will be as soon as the jumpships arrive.”
She looks up at him, tears in her eyes, rage behind the tears. I just gave Julian a second chance with that truce and those damned Free Worlders… “I did not expect to receive that Title yet. You are correct, Zang shu er, we will mobilize at once. Take all of our long-lost worlds back and more. Immediately notify our allies in the Magistracy of Canopus. We will request any level of support they can offer.”
“I also want the entire MAC rallied to me, as well as the Dynasty Guard. I want to make this a very visible retaliation. The Federated Suns will suffer my wrath.” Her voice seethes with rage.
“At once, Chancellor, we will make them pay for this atrocity.” The Zang shu er takes a deep bow, then departs the office.
Danai sits there, stunned from the unthinkable news she just received. Regardless of how, Daoshen was still her father. Billions in one single act… Would even her greatest wrath be enough to level the scale?
