HYPERSPACE—ECLIPSE GUILD FLEET—MK.1
Apophis sat in the captain's office, reading a book on ground combat strategy, when he received a message from Lotus telling him to look at the "Horus" forums.
Apparently, some major event was taking place right then!
While in hyperspace, all communication and information networks inside the game were disrupted, so the forum was all Apophis could access to learn news about this event.
He quickly scanned a few topics, leaving comments and following them to check back on later.
Players had perpetrated several attacks against major Federation planets, and it was a real bloodbath.
Videos and pictures filled the forums, showing scenes of ruined buildings, corpses, and pools of blood.
It all reminded Apophis of his first week on Era, and he thought about how the players truly hadn't learned from their prior mistakes.
And now those who hadn't learned instead had gained access to the power of Ascension and even spaceships.
