On Kamino, activity was at its peak. After the Seraphim's departure on his own mission, Julius stood at the center of the advanced strategy room, surrounded by his most trusted advisors. Data, Raynor, Nova, and the recently promoted "Counselor" Caleb Valerius were fixed on the holographic projection of the local star system. They were soon joined by Matt Horner, Tychus Findlay, Rory Swann, and Arcturus Mengsk, whose presence added a new dimension to the deliberations.
"Data, run the briefing," ordered Julius, his eyes locked on the numbers and schematics displayed.
"Certainly, Lord Commander," replied Data, his voice as calm and precise as ever.

"This structure will give us the flexibility to handle any threat," Julius concluded. "Each senior officer will have the freedom to appoint their non-commissioned officers based on the clones' demonstrated skills. Any questions?"
Nova Terra raised her hand, a slight smile on her lips.
"Will my Ghosts have access to the latest stealth and psychic suppression upgrades?"
"Of course," Julius replied. "Stetmann is already working on advanced prototypes."
Rory Swann grunted, amused:
"And my mechanics get to tinker with the Goliaths,right? Because I've got a few ideas to make them even more... persuasive."
"As long as it doesn't compromise their reliability, Rory," Julius approved.
Jim Raynor, arms crossed, nodded.
"That's one hell of an army,Julius. Now, what are we gonna do with it?"
"We're going to wait, Jim," Julius replied, his gaze piercing. "We're going to get stronger, we're going to observe, and when the time comes, we'll be ready."
