Chapter 946 - An invitation (1/2)
The latest ship created by the military, the Big Bertha, sleek in style and design while also being practical for warfare. Made of the strongest light material possible Glathrium. Only allowing them to create eight of these in existence. Although now only seven of them belonged to the military.
After the Civil War had ended, being on the cautious side, the Supreme Commander Oscar decided to utilise these sh.i.p.s. Two of the Bertha's were placed on the North and South Pole of earth, rotating around it as a protective measure.
The space station that would teleport one to the beast planet solar system had to be limited to one station. The other stations were closed down and it was agreed that the Graylash family and Cursed family would have equal rights to use the station at any point and time.
The rule was made as a precaution, they were sure the Dalki had their eyes on the humans. They thought that an attack would happen at any moment. That's why the rest of the remaining Berthas, including their fleets of sh.i.p.s, were sent out on the edge of the beast planets that they had owned.
What they couldn't do was just because they felt like war was upon them, was back down and stop hunting for the beast crystals. They were essential for powering items for war, on top of getting their people the beast gear they needed.
If the humans were to leave the area, or have it unprotected, the Dalki could easily take charge and over the planets. Defending was always a lot easier than attacking.
The military was now mainly responsible for protection, education and training. While the Graylash and Cursed family were the two families that were out on the beast planets who were constantly hunting for crystals. Sharing a percentage of what they found and sending it back to the military.
For whatever reason, the Dalki never attacked, and they were allowing the humans to recover and stay in place from the war. Now on earth, Oscar stood there with a large grin on his face, for the project that they had been working on was finally complete.
”We have made a lot of mistakes in the past, I'm surprised the whole human race didn't collapse when Truedream disappeared. I hope we can make things better this time. Did you send out the invitations like I asked?”
”Yes, Commander, I'm hoping to get a reply from them soon. We should know what their decision is before the starting date.”

Inside the Cursed ship, Megan had her head slumped down on top of the command center table. Her hair was frazzled and she was unmoving. The sound of the doors opening made her move her head slightly up and one could now see the bags under her eyes.
Seeing who had entered, there was a spring in her step as she got out from her seat.
”Helen, thank you so much for helping me out all the time.” Megan said, grabbing her two hands. ”I'm starting to know why you and the Daisy faction were so popular.”
”It's okay, I'm just completing my duties as asked.” Helen replied. ”I must thank Quinn as well. Some families after completing a deal like so would have treated us like slaves, or as lesser beings once joining, but Quinn allowed us to pretty much to operate the way we usually do, just under the Cursed faction name.”
While Quinn was away, Megan, one of the heads of the old Crow faction, was left in charge. After all, nearly every single high ranking member of the Cursed faction had gone off to the human world. There really wasn't much choice, but someone had to be left in charge especially after the position the cursed family had achieved.
However, the faction was no longer small and there were multiple things that needed to be done. What Megan thought was just looking after those on the Cursed ship, soon became a much bigger task. Communicating with the other two families, on top of the smaller factions that had joined under the Cursed faction and even down to sorting out the forging, buying and selling process.
She was starting to realise just how much Sam did around the place. He was always busy in the command room, not training like the others, and now she realised he just didn't have the time.
Thankfully, Helen having led one of the largest factions Daisy, she had a lot of experience. When she had come to visit the Cursed ship one day. This was due to receiving a strange order. One asking them to forge new weapons and equipment.
She didn't think Quinn or the others would be that stupid to turn such a powerful faction into a bunch of forgers, who had no experience. So, she decided to visit and found a frantic Megan not being able to handle any of the pressure at all.
”Speaking of, I wonder how long your leader and the others will be on their little trip for, it's been a while hasn't it?” Helen asked.
Suddenly, Megan started to fidget as she had told a small little lie. Saying that Quinn and the others had discovered a Demon tier beast, which was what they were currently out exploring at the moment.
This was an understandable excuse for those in the Cursed as well as those outside the Cursed. However, a few moments later, one of the computer terminals inside the command room started to light up.
”Miss, we have a signal from a teleporter in one of the training rooms!” A member shouted.
”The training rooms, I don't remember there being any Tele-” At that moment she realised that it meant they had finally returned.
Inside the personal training room, Quinn and everyone else had finally gotten through the portal and had arrived back at the Cursed ship.
”Oh sweet metal ground!” Alex cheered as he started to kiss the floor. He never thought he would miss the bright lights and metallic floor of the ship, but he was so ecstatic.
”I mean I'm happy I returned but I'm not that crazy about it?” Nate whispered over to Sam.
