Chapter 28 - Ambition III

Arc had a great time with Mia yesterday he didn't think his visit to the construction site would end up him and Mia talking until it gets dark...

-it's been a while since I had a great time with a girl-

he reminisces a little, he was laying in his bed waiting for news from Diana and the rest, earlier the press conference about the released of their line up of hunters equipment was successfully concluded, but news of war stops him from celebrating,

just a few minutes ago the Human Federation Alliance, just released a shocking news an unknown powerful alien Force was discovered by HFA exploration ship the exploration ship tried to communicate with alien force only to fired upon, the HFA exploration ship tried to escape without retaliating in order not to escalate the issue, but the alien Force continued to pursue and attack the HFA exploration ship, and eventually got destroyed.. over 2000 lives were lost in that ship including the daughter of the president of HFA who volunteers to be part of the explanation ship to help and discovered new life in the Galaxy..

but that's not the end of it the rescue fleet who responded to the emergency signal of the HFA exploration ship called Explorer EX.. was also attacked, 5 of the 12 sh.i.p.s of the fleet was destroyed killing over 20000 men and women but with the determination of rescue command fleet they were able to destroy 3 out 5 alien ship the 2 was able to escape after receiving significant damage.. and now HFA has issued a full-blown war against that alien species who are clearly hostile to human.. all this happened a few hours ago and only a few minutes ago the released the declaration to the public.. recovery and study of the destroyed alien is already underway according to HFA they are doing everything to find the location of the alien species,

In the meantime HFA is readying for a full-blown war.. a code red was issued to all fleet roaming across the Galaxy...

it would be a lie if Arc said he was not excited, in fact, we were alone in that, almost all of humanity felt exited, only those pacifists are against it but those people are few in numbers.

it's been a while since humanity has a full-blown war, there where few skirmishes Avery now and then against other alien species but humanity always act passively and that gives humanity good reputation with other alien species.. humanity always find a way to make friends with other species...

humanity is always reluctant to engage in a war because of their past, they don't want to repeat the mistakes of their predecessor, the survivors of the apocalyptic war, tried hard to ingrained to their descendants the horror of war and they carry it till this day, but now after a long time humanity is going for war, and because it's not against another human there are little oppositions in it, fact there's almost none, as they say, humanity only shines in war..

Arc didn't know if this war was good or bad for him but he knows he was excited.

-hmm, Eve what's up?-

the liaison for the navy supply office wants to discuss something with you. said, Eve

-I'm sure Diana is more than capable of making decisions without me-

no boss I think you should go this time, said Eve

this is the first time Eve asked him to participate in something because Eve and the rest can do almost anything there's hardly anything for him to do. that's why he was surprised when Eve asked him to go...

-well if you say so then it must be important-

it's not really important boss but I think you will be interested in it.. reply Eve

"did she found out I was bored?"

Arc didn't waste time in just a few minutes he was already in the conference room, in there he a beautiful woman in officer uniform.

-sorry to have kept you waiting for miss... how can I address you?-

he forgot to ask Eve about the name of the liaison...

boss, you're here greeted, Diana,

Tiffa and Wedge are not here they're coordinating with the Hunters...

Arc nod at Diana and look again at the woman next to her and waited for her reply.

no, no problem I should be the one apologizing for imposing on you. I'm lieutenant Lisa Lang liaison for the Navy supply office.

-so then lieutenant what can I do for you that my CEO can't-

arc was seating in chairman seat, to his left was Diana, and on his right was lieutenant Lisa Lang

call me Lisa, a lieutenant is too formal and since we'll be working for a long time let's not be too formal...

-alright, Lisa nice to meet you call me Arc, so what can I do for you-

as you know that war is coming, so in preparation for the war we want you to make a military-grade solution for us.

Arc frown a little when he heard it,

-it's not a problem to make a military-grade solution the problem is the quantity, just making an S grade solutions required a lot of materials not to mention military-grade that's the reason we made the S grade solutions a limited supply, but you already know this, that means you have a solution-

as expected of you Arc I guess you building the Grand Trading Corp. is not an accident. I won't call it a solution, but more of a suggestion what do you know about space beast?

-so that's your suggestion hmm let me think-

he slumped back into his chair and pretended to think, but in truth he was asking Eve about it, it's not surprising that he didn't know about it, although it's not exactly a top-secret it's still can be considered a secret, HFA didn't disclose the existence of the space beast to the public to avoid public panic, only top family and government officials know about it..

now that Eve explained what a space beast is, he now has a general idea of what it is, in simple terms, it was a beast living in space, so it's called space beast, only difference is, it's many times bigger than, it's land counterpart.

-I can see where you're going with this but my question is why us, there are many companies who are more qualified for this for example general food manufacture incorporated, so why did you choose us?- ask Arc
