Mirage was in the middle of watching for signs of extra galactic life. Her department was made specifically to monitor the Naraku just outside the Milky Way. And for the most part, she had been doing her job with satisfactory results.
With Andromeda and Triangulum currently confirmed to be what were considered "Infested Galaxies" she had been these last few years studying what was happening in the other major galaxies within the local cluster as it was known.
She had recently discovered that in one of the other nearby major galaxies, there were indeed signs of intelligent life. However, these lifeforms themselves were currently struggling with an extra-galactic invasion by the Naraku.
I'd like to apologize for not updating this novel the past week or so. I have been busy navigating the American Healthcare System. Which if you don't know how much of a pain in the @$$ that is, then go watch South Park's special regarding the subject. That is a fairly accurate representation of what I have been through for the last two weeks of my life.
Naturally, this cut into my writing time, and made it so I wasn't able to update this novel as frequently as I normally do. But the issue has been resolved on my end. So I should be going back to the normal posting schedule going forward. Thank you all for your patience, and continued support!
