Meanwhile... Somewhere in the Oort Cloud...

Location: Homeworld Capital Ship S.S. Brimstone

A gem dressed in royal clothing runs onto the ship's bridge and bows to a tall, bold figure sitting in the main command chair. Shortly afterwards, another gem, dressed in more modest clothing, follows him and bows as well. The two being Hematite and Spessanite.

Hematite: Excuse our delay, your highness...

Spessanite: Indeed. We were halted in our tracks by a solar flare.

Hematite: Yes, and-

???: Enough excuses. I want information.

Hematite: Oh, um.. Yes, of course.

The two rise to their feet and dust themselves off, before Hematite rummages through his bag and pulls out a few notes. He begins reading silently, before summing the contents to the figure.

Hematite: We have found 2 major rebel cells, and by extension, terrorist cells on Terra Prime. One of them being the so-called "United Rebel Forces" and the other being the "Quartz Order".

Spessanite: Right now, the U.R.F... Ahem, the United Rebel Forces, prove to pose the biggest threat.

???: How, exactly?

Hematite: They hold more assets and their approach is far more stealthy and indirect, compared to other terrorist cells. Which could cause them to fly under our radar, which, in a domino effect, will lead to them being able to cause far more mayhem before we could take action.

Spessanite: Indeed.

???: And why did you two come here? To just inform me of your failures as destroying these cells?

Hematite: Why- No no no... Of course not, your highness.

???: Then what do you want?

Hematite attempts to say something, but from anxiety, no words leave his mouth. Spess is the only one to muster the courage to speak.

Spessanite: We are in need of more assistance.

The whole bridge goes quiet. Every working gem stops talking, stops doing anything and directs thier attention to Spessanite.

Spessanite: Your efforts of capturing and holding Terra Prime have been lacking.

Hematite gives Spess a glare that visibly says "What are you doing you idiot?!", but Spessanite either doesn't see or he just ignores it.

???: Excuse me, what? You dare question our decisions over how to handle the Terran crisis?

Spessanite: Yes, I do. If you would truly want to capture and hold the planet, you would send far more forces than. Think about it, the Homeworld fleet on Terra is lacking even the most basic ships. Corvettes, destroyers, gunboats, all missing, while other fleets that are focused on smaller issues get so much more of the Homeworld arsenal. Why is that?

Hematite sighs. They'll sure end up getitng shot for insulting a superior.

???: Hmph.. Your name is?

Spessanite: Former general Spessanite.

???: And he is?

The figure points to Hematite, who shivers at the mere thought of what they're about to face for speaking so boldly.

Spessanite: General Hematite. I am his military advisor.

???: I like you, Spessanite.

The whole bridge, including Hematite, is shocked, yet Spessanite doesn't even flinch.

???: You have guts. Homeworld needs more soldiers like you. I'm surprised you're not the general here, seeing that this "Hematite" can barely muster the curage to mutter a few words...

Spessanite: Thank you, your highness. It is an honour.

???: We shall send 12 destroyer-class ships, 9 corvettes and 2 dreadnaughts to support you in battle during the Terran Uprising. Good luck. Don't dissapoint me.

Spessanite: I will not, your higness.

Spess and Hematite bow once again, before they turn around and leave the bridge.

The whole battle for Earth is about to drastically change tides...
