Chapter 9: The Message Sent
After weeks of preparation, the three ships carrying the computer core with all the updated technology were finally ready to be sent to Earth. John had personally overseen the final checks and gave the ships his blessing for the journey.
As the ships prepared to depart, the crew gathered on the main deck to bid them farewell. John addressed the crew, "Today we send our knowledge and technology to Earth. Our mission is to help humanity prepare for the looming threat of the Wraith. We may not know what dangers lie ahead, but we will face them together."
The crew cheered and applauded as the ships launched from the Lantern System, their engines roaring to life as they accelerated into the depths of space.
Meanwhile, on Earth, preparations were also underway. The news of the incoming ships had spread like wildfire, and the governments of the world were eager to receive the new technology. A massive military operation was launched to receive the ships and ensure their safe arrival.
As the ships approached Earth's atmosphere, they transmitted a signal to the waiting receivers, indicating their approach. The military scrambled to intercept the ships, and a fleet of fighter jets escorted them to their landing site.
Once on the ground, the computer core was unloaded and transported to a secure location, where a team of experts began to extract the information stored within. It was a monumental task, but they knew that the knowledge contained within the computer could be the key to saving humanity.
Over the following weeks, the experts worked tirelessly, analyzing the data and developing new technologies. They made breakthrough after breakthrough, building new weapons, and defenses that were beyond anything humanity had ever seen.
As they worked, they received a new transmission from the Lantern System. John's voice came through loud and clear, "We have received reports of Wraith activity in the neighboring systems. We must be prepared for an imminent attack."
The message was clear. The time for preparation was over. The battle was about to begin. The experts redoubled their efforts, working around the clock to get humanity ready for the fight to come.
As the Wraith drew closer, the skies were filled with the hum of engines and the crackle of energy weapons. The newly-built ships, designed and named after the crew's favorite constellations, launched from Earth's surface, ready to defend their home planet.
The battle was fierce and intense, with the Wraith using every trick and tactic at their disposal to break through humanity's defenses. But with the help of the technology brought by the crew from the Lantern System, and the courage and determination of Earth's defenders, the Wraith were eventually defeated.
As the dust settled and the last of the Wraith ships were destroyed, the people of Earth celebrated. They knew that the fight was not over, but they had won an important victory. They had proven that they could stand up to the greatest threat the galaxy had ever seen.
And as they looked up at the stars above, they knew that they would never forget the crew of the Lantern System, whose knowledge and technology had helped them to achieve this victory.
