The Freeborn flagship's war room buzzed with activity. Holograms of star systems and fleet positions hovered in the air.
Lira's voice cut through the chatter. "Our scans have identified a distress signal from the Kalden Expanse—an uncharted region recently impacted by Voidborn activity."
Titan leaned forward, eyes sharp. "What do we know about the Expanse?"
Merek replied, "Sparse data. The region is home to several research outposts and ancient alien ruins. Perfect targets for the Council's experiments."
Kaela clenched her fists. "If the Voidborn are spreading there, we can't wait."
Titan nodded decisively. "Prepare the team. We head to the Kalden Expanse—find out what's happening, and stop it."
As the ship altered course, the crew braced for another battle—one that could change the course of the war yet again.
