Three months ago, Olus would have never thought he would live to see the day that the center of the Republic, the planet Earth, would be moved to chaos.

Now, he found himself riding in a dropship en route to who the frag knew where, with the daughter of the one person in the universe who could stop it all from going to total hell beside him. A girl who was only eleven years old, who had already killed at least one Nephilim, and who seemed more than comfortable with the thought of killing a few more.

The reports were coming in almost too fast for him to manage, sent from the main pipeline of the Servants of the Ophanim, a command and control center buried deep beneath New York City. Deeper even than he had ever been, in tunnels that were kept secret from the outside world, tunnels where most people assumed Earth’s Plixian Queen created her brood.

The Milnet was down. Republic forces had turned against one another. Outworld ships had been seen in Republic space near the Fringe, joining in some of the battles and helping turn the tide over to Gloritant Thraven’s side. Planetside, the Council chambers had been put on lockdown, the building defended by those loyal to the Nephilim, holding a good portion of the government hostage. The Prime was safe, taken away and sent off-world to a location only a handful of people would know about, people who were vetted to be beyond reproach.

At least, Olus hoped they were beyond reproach. It seemed these days that nobody was incorruptible. He glanced over at Hayley, who was staring out the window with a tired, angry look on her face. Well, almost nobody.

The RAS forces on the planet were taking sides, and already there had been word of massive attacks in Switzerland and Germany, with the death toll constantly rising and the fear of the citizens of the world steadily growing. Most had been ordered to stay inside. Curfews were being put into place. But was the Law Enforcement enacting those rules for or against Thraven and his goals? It was impossible to know.

Olus could imagine the same scene playing out across the galaxy. It was chaos. Pure chaos, on a scale that boggled his mind. How could anyone orchestrate something like this? How could so many individuals buy into the bullshit that the Gloritant was selling? What had he shown them? What had he promised them?

There was no turning back from this. Even if Abbey managed to destroy Thraven, this was damage that couldn’t be immediately undone. It would be a start, but only a start. The galaxy had changed, right now for the worse. He reminded himself that all of this was going to happen one way or another. The Nephilim had been waiting to return for thousands of years. It was just his shitty luck that he had to be alive when they made their move. It was just his shitty luck that he had to be one of the individuals trying to stop it.
