With the alliances secure between the Germanic Star-Empire and its two neighboring powers the Dvrakian Consortium and the Great Oni Empire things progressed smoothly. The Dvrakian Defense Forces continued to grow in size, and with the technology they were given by the Germanic Star-Empire they quickly became what Erich would not so kindly put as "Adequate Meat Shields."
Meanwhile, the GSE had already been constructed defenses on the Dvrakian Borders, the robotic labor legions that Tia had created had indeed proven to be a valuable asset as they never needed to rest, and were always operating at peak efficiency.
While Erich continued to work with Hans and Tia to ensure that the GSE was ready for its eventual war with Terminus, Mirage continued in her efforts to bring down the criminal underworld. The newfound inspiration she had received from a single night drinking with Erich had proven to be enough to aid her in these methods.
