Chronos began, his tone carrying a weight that sent shivers down their spines,
"The Machinians are relentlessly pursuing us because they believe that our cultivation holds the key to elevating their existence. And they might be right."
A hushed silence filled the room as his words hung in the air, each cadet keenly aware of the perilous truth that resonated in his warning.
Chronos's eyes bore into theirs, his gaze intense and unwavering.
"But let us not forget,"
He continued, his voice lowering to a chilling whisper,
"That the universe is vast, and we cannot discount the possibility that others may seek what we possess. Our cultivation, our knowledge, is an invaluable treasure. It is something that the rest of the universe would stop at nothing to obtain or to extinguish."
A collective gasp escaped the lips of the cadets in attendance, their hearts pounding in their chests.
