Admiral Zane studied the multiple holograms in front of her smiling slyly. Each holographic display was from a live feed of a recent skirmish from some borderworld. the blue visages illuminated the dark room, darkened figures sat at the same table watching intently as metallic humanoids engaged in fierce melee combat with the eight foot tall armored monstrosities which were the Nephilim who had up until a few hours controlled a military outpost on the said borderworld which was acting as a staging ground for one of the smaller fleets of the Aldous confederacy. Stubbing out her cigar casually and forming a triumphant steeple with her fingers not betraying her stoic demeanor.
"As you can observe the Homunculi, despite the Nephilim's tailored psychical strength and prowess are easily overcome. We deployed two hundred units during this test. Intel Satellites detected over five hundred Nephilim on that base-" A deep voice interupted her from somewere amongst the figures
"This may be so Zane, but the Homunculi are founded on Athenian technology...stolen technology I might add-
"Yes, what we acquired from a Ixi research station, they will be held accountable, the Athenians as we all know to not forgive, nor do they forget." The Dark figure was satisfied and withdrew his criticism, but not without another member of the admiratly board speaking up replacing his cohort
"The Athenians are reliant on their neutral position is this war, but it is not unknown for them to go out of their way if they feel threatened...or betrayed, I do not like relying on the bastardized experiments of a race that are so far departed from their origins that they themselves believe them the next best thing to race of living gods." The chastising tone was obviously that of rear Admiral Xang. Admiral Zane losing patience quickly retorted swiftly.
"The Athenians, would strike the Ixi first! They wouldn't dare risk having themselves or their technology exposed more than it already has been-" She was promptly interrupted by the door of the board room hissing open a panic stricken lieutenant didn't wait for permission to speak in the door way.
"Admiral Zane! Six Athenian battle-groups have just entered the system."
