Inside the sprawling halls of the Capital Prime university, Principal Farnes sat in his office, absorbed in all sorts of reports on recent Federation defences in the war.
At the moment, however, his attention was abruptly interrupted as one of his aides burst through the office door with a look of unrestrained excitement written across his face.
"Sir… you have to come see this!"
The aide practically gasped for air, waving frantically to a holographic screen to his side.
Farnes frowned slightly, his curiosity piqued, but he maintained his calm demeanour as he turned toward the screen.
"What is it, Renfield?"
Farnes asked, though he'd already caught sight of what appeared to be a vast Red Demon fleet, the darkened hulls of their infamous command ships stretching out across a broadcast feed.
At first, the sight alone sent a jolt through him.
