Bab 986: 986 Intercepted Message

While the battle raged between the Cathedral ships and the Myceloids, the missing Darkling fleet sent out a message that came up on the screens of the Shuttle without warning.

[The Great Enemy is moving. Clear all battlefields until a final location is determined] the message read.

"Well, that's not ominous at all. It would help if we had any idea what the Great Enemy is or where it was moving from so that we would know what direction we should be moving in." Nico complained as she read the screen.

"I would be happy with just knowing what it is that has terrified the Darklings enough that they sent out an open frequency message. They're a species that terrifies everything else. They don't usually back down from much. Hell, they're not even afraid to throw hands with the Arisen." Max agreed.

Dahlia went very pale at the mention of the Arisen, and Max could sense her terror as she spoke in a hesitant voice.
