  • This is Chrysalis Part 13 it was strange to observe how my army worked on its own, orbiting the world of Zunvir, some even hovering in its stratosphere, to see how the sentient drones talked to each other, orchestrated their movements, coordinated their approach.

  • Vectors, were conscientious of collateral damage.

  • So far, my main body had remained at the rearguard, out of range of the battle itself, while I waited for the rest of my forces to clear a path.

  • But that path was almost complete, and it was time to initiate the second phase of my plan.

  • While I could have easily upgraded the rest, the resources required were better invested in constructing four entirely new support ships with more sophisticated shield and energy weapons.

  • Even the factories contained in me were unnecessary, falling short of the second generation assembly lines I had been building at the Tau Ceti orbital habitat.

  • Just as they had told me in our communication, this had been part of their plea.

  • They said they wouldnt be able to leave the palace until my arrival had sent the republic into disarray, giving them a window to escape.
