Nothing about the news made sense. Both Khan and Monica couldn't wrap their minds around it and reread it, hoping to clear their doubts. However, their confusion only intensified.
The order had come directly from the embassy's political offices, meaning Mister Cirvags had approved it. The message wasn't even an offer. It was a summon into a mandatory mission.
In a normal situation, Khan would have been ecstatic about the news. He not only liked the mission's contents but had also agreed to replace Ambassador Abores for that exact reason. He would be gaining access to proper political and interspecies jobs, which were the next step in his career.
Yet, the timing made no sense. Until now, Khan had been sure the Global Army wanted him in the Harbor. His superiors even covered him in the Empire-related duties that required his presence. The Solodrey family was also okay with Monica ignoring Neuria's businesses, but the message told a different story.
