As Nova's fighter glided into the Ark's hangar, the comms buzzed with reports from across the allied fleets. The scale of the battle was overwhelming. The Reaver mother ships hovered like ominous mountains over cities worldwide, each one dark and pulsing with energy. Earth's skies were an apocalyptic scene of fire and shadows, with explosions lighting up the atmosphere as the allied ships fought desperately to hold back the invasion.
Nova hopped out of her fighter, smirking as she spotted Ethan on the hangar deck, coordinating with the crew. As she walked over, she gave him a playful swat, catching him by surprise.
"Miss me, Captain?" she teased, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Or were you just worried I'd show you up out there?"
Ethan couldn't help but laugh, despite the gravity of the situation. "Just glad to see you in one piece. Nice work, Nova."
