章節 114: New Friends Joining the Fall

Alex is not just an exporter and importer in the conventional Earth sense. He is a cosmic intermediary, a bridge connecting worlds. Dealing in commodities with Starhaven, he channels them to Atlantis. Through this, he has cultivated a complex web of connections, spanning from Starhaven merchants to the Starhaven Western Nova Corps—one of the 12 military factions of the Starhaven Federation. They oversee the security of planets within their jurisdiction, including the Tau Ceti System where Gaia lies, the Earthly home of the Atlantis Federation, one of Starhaven's colonies.

He swipes his holo-air pad, swiftly establishing a secure link with one of the bookies on Starhaven. A hushed conversation unfolds, with nods and affirmations shared in murmurs that barely rise above the ambient hum of hologram interfaces. The bookie agrees, setting the stage for what promises to be a galactic spectacle.
