Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Rain called for an urgent meeting with the entire group. Unlike their usual gatherings in a central meeting place visible to everyone, this time, they met at Rain's home. The reason was clear – it was here that the enhanced telescope, the key to their understanding of the planetary defense system, had been improved.
The group gathered in Rain's living space, their expressions a mix of concern and anticipation. Things hadn't changed much, but they were very quiet as they waited to see what Rain had seen.
"Alright, everyone," Rain said and then moved away from the telescope. "We've stumbled upon something far more complex than we anticipated. Those planets are not just planets; they are part of a colossal defense system with a weapon that fired those meteors at us. The whole structure is designed to shield them, and they've adjusted it to keep the cannon aimed at us. It's a fortress, and they are using it strategically.""
