(Planet Nemo, Ten Days Later)
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye on Planet Nemo, as finally the Cult engineers managed to set up and deploy the planetary shield, its translucent dome of light shimmering faintly across the skies like a second horizon.
With the shield's activation came the assurance that Nemo was no longer a vulnerable husk, but a fortified world— a bastion against the Yu Clan or any other predator bold enough to covet it.
The defensive installations followed swiftly, for the Cult wasted no time in making certain that their victory was not a fleeting one.
Rows of mana cannons were erected upon the ridges, their cores humming with restrained energy as engineers calibrated the flow of circuits, while batteries of surface-to-air missiles were dug into camouflaged pits, their warheads gleaming faintly under the glow of maintenance spells.
