To say that Tia was capable of monitoring pretty much everything within the Milky Way Galaxy, and that within its various satellite galaxies, was an understatement.
She had cast her web of intrigue deep and wide across space. And because of this, she had reached an almost omnipotent level of knowledge regarding everything that was happening within her own sphere of influence.
But that which existed outside her web of intrigue was entirely unknown to her. As was only natural. And though Tia had sent out deep space probes into other galaxies neighboring the Milky Way and Andromeda years ago, none of them had reported back to her.
This was to be expected. After all, most alien civilizations were hostile to the unknown, and if they made contact with a hostile before they could report, it was only natural that they would be destroyed. Even then, this did not make Tia feel any less uneasy.
