Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
-----------------
Within the vicissitudes of space, a platform shaped like a syringe floated imposingly in place, giving off an aura that seemed to pierce the very fabric of the cosmos.
Lines of white light surrounded it on all corners, radiating in an indescribable manner. Spacecrafts flew into the perimeter and vanished as soon as they got bathed in the white lines of light it emitted.
This was the heart of the Alliance's command center, a beacon of authority and power in the vast expanse of the universe.
Inside the Alliance command center, a grand chamber housed five leaders currently present, each an alien from a different planet, with the exception of General Chell.
The room was circular, with a high domed ceiling that shimmered with the same white light as the platform outside. The walls were adorned with holographic displays showing various parts of the universe under the Alliance's jurisdiction.
