Chapter 157 - 157 Chaotic Times II

Name:Factory Inc. Author:Gravedagger
"Kidlat has approximately around 5 to 10 million planets and according to analysis all of them are lifeless. Very few Alien would risk going into Kidlat, and among all the forbidden regions in the galaxy, Kidlat was rank among the Top of the most dangerous that's because the region is considered a death trap. And very few sh.i.p.s are powerful enough to navigate the region because of the never-ending space storms and what's more, there's no way to predict how strong the storm until it hits you."

"So no matter how rich the region claims to be very few risks their lives to go there." Specter continues to explain.

Arc knows that with the mother drones capabilities going to Kidlat it is almost suicides, true they have a powerful shield that can protect them from the storm but those shields have its limit and once its shield was depleted only destruction awaits them.

But he also knows Legion wouldn't choose that forbidden region without reason. The only explanation he can assume is that with Legion upgrade he somehow got the ability to negate the space storm in Kidlat. But until he can talk to Legion about it he, or they can only speculate.

"Any news of Silva?"

Yes, boss, she sends these star maps. She said the rest would follow in 24hrs...

Arc Smiles, looks like she's been working hard. "What about the pirate lord Kalif?"

Jem smiles and said, "done boss specter makes quick work of him we also freed many slaves and send them all to Liberty they would be a great help to Dianna." Said Jem.

"Good, so have we found our destination?"

"Arc saw them looking at each other..."

"What is it?" Arc asks.

"Boss we found it but you are not going to like it..." Said Ruby.

"Specter," Ruby said.

Another hologram appeared before them and a big red hole appeared... The red hole is the same as the black hole in appearance only red, but unlike black hole were as long as you have the right navigational device you can use the black hole to enter hyperspace it is the primitive way of traveling the space... Before the warp engine was discovered many alien used black hole to travel the galaxy, and complete black hole maps can be purchased at a relatively cheap price as there's hardly anyone uses the black hole to travel anymore.

But Red Hole is different, there's no way to predict where it will lead it could be connected to some faraway galaxy or even to the edge of the universe even back in time, there are so many assumptions but ultimately it is only hypothesis as there's no report of having anyone or anything manage to return after entering the Red Hole.

Arc almost cursed when he saw it! Ruby is right a Red Hole is the last thing he expected...

Arc slump back into the captain seat he began to think of another plan but in the end, he knows he has no choice but to enter the Red Hole...

Arc was silent for a few minutes and no one disturb him.

Sigh, we will make preparation increase our supply by ten times or more, more is better as we don't know when or where we will end up. Better be safe than sorry. After giving order he stood up and left.

Back in his chambers, he contemplated whether to inform his family and Mia about the situations. But in the end, he decided against it as it will only give them unnecessary worry.

He began to think of various steps to greatly ensure his survival upgrading the specter is a given as he already plans to do that even before he left earth. But entering the red planet is another matter, he wasn't really that worried about his life but what he was really worried about is that can he even go back? Or even if he can how long before he can return.

He keeps lying on his bed still thinking all the worse things that could happen and what can he do to prevent it, but in the end, he can't think of anything and Nine is not giving him anything. And before he knows it he fell asleep.

Back in the bridge. Arielle and the rest are also thinking and planning they knows they have no choice but to enter the Red Hole, and since they have no idea what to expect they need to be ready for anything so Arielle and the rest began to make preparation Specter and Eve was the same Arc already use the upgrade chip on Specter, so Eve and Specter began to plan base on the information that they will enter the Red Hole.

The next day Arc woke up and found that only Arielle is on the bridge Jem and the rest are nowhere to be found. And before he can ask Arielle spoke up.

"They are making preparation, Silva return 6 hrs ago and with her all the star maps available on this planet. And when we brief her of our current destination she left to make preparation..."

"I see, and you? Do you regret your decision to follow me now?"

Arielle looks at him and said, "what's there to regret in fact I have never been relieved, I felt free and relaxed serving under you, and besides to be honest I'm looking forward to seeing what lies beyond the infamous Red Hole."

Hahaha, Arc looks at the smiling Arielle and felt relieved for some reason he felt guilty bringing them into the Red Hole famous for being a death trap. But hearing Arielle he felt somewhat relieved.

"Well, I hope there's something good waiting for us on the other side of Red Hole."

"Specter, how's the upgrade going on?" Arc ask because just looking at the ship he didn't saw any changes.

"35% done.." Specter inform him of the many changes during the upgrade process, he was surprised Specter would go to that kind of upgrade but Arc didn't stop it he just asks how long before the upgrade is done. And besides, he too was looking forward to the final result.

Next to him, Arielle was listening in shock she just couldn't believe this ship is capable of doing what they are discussing.
