Capítulo 309: Building a Space Base

The high-ranking officers believed they had reached a practical resolution.

Lyra, after all, was already stationed there; having her remain would require little extra effort.

But Lyra wasn't about to accept so easily.

She raised her hands in a gesture of mock surrender.

"The central city of Voidstar No. 1 is the only viable hub. Surely, you're not expecting me to work under Admiral Conners' authority?"

Frederick, anticipating her resistance, replied, "Voidstar No. 1's geography doesn't support a second human settlement. Its population is too sparse, and its resources too limited to attract merchants. Development would stagnate."

Lyra acknowledged the truth in his words but countered swiftly.

"But it's perfect for constructing a space base."

Her suggestion sent ripples through the room. The admirals exchanged uneasy glances, unsure why Lyra was so insistent on maintaining separate authority.
