Stranded on Planet 165, the holiday spirit dimmed as the news spread that a swarm of insectoids had breached the Alliance's defense line. A band of folks gathered every day, watching the unfolding battle on the interstellarnet.
Yuri, just like everyone else, set aside her studies and stayed glued to the latest battle updates.
That night, Officer Lyao messaged her and Tuss, instructing them to swiftly familiarize themselves with their mechas' configurations and the specific firepower values.
"Is Planet 165 not safe anymore?" Yuri asked.
Officer Lyao didn't directly answer her question but said, "Level-eight insectoids have appeared. I'm on my way to the Fritillaria Galaxy."
"You're coming too?" Yuri was surprised. Isn't the Second Commander enough?
"This insectoid wave is the biggest in the last fifty years." Officer Lyao spoke in a grave tone, "Yuri, brace yourself."
