Lila Blythex frowned. "They actually let them cause such a huge mess in the Industrial Star Ring? Are the security forces all useless?"
Her assistant said, "According to the information we've received, there may be several extremely powerful Dark Jedi Knights among the people who came this time."
Lila Blythex gave a cold laugh. "Hmph. No matter how many Separatists come, they will never cross the Kuat Defense Fleet's line! In the end, the only fate awaiting them is utter annihilation. Send someone to prepare the cleanup. We must obtain samples of the virus they spread throughout the Star Ring!"
"But what about those people? They should have already reached Zhang Jiarui and broken into our Eclipse-class prototype ship. We need to find a way to capture Zhang Jiarui again! He's the key to cracking the Separatists' ultra-long-range energy weapon! Ah, right, that thing is called the Particle Beam Lance. Zhang Jiarui told us that too," the assistant said.
Lila Blythex said, "It doesn't matter. Under the current circumstances, the chances of capturing Zhang Jiarui alive and intact are nearly zero. The Separatists went to such great lengths to rescue him, so they must have a Plan B—if the operation failed, they would kill Zhang Jiarui on the spot."
"Then should we... take them out? The Fleet Commander has already sent a message asking about the Eclipse-class prototype ship's exact situation. They hope we can cooperate with them. It would be best if we could stop the warship," the assistant said.
"Do we have any backup plans?" Lila asked.
Naturally, she knew nothing about such matters. The Eclipse-class design had completely exceeded her capabilities, so throughout the entire design and testing process, she had only been responsible for claiming credit before the leader of Kuat Drive Yards—Kuat of Kuat, Onana
