Beyond Terra's orbit.
No matter how harsh the environment on Terra's surface was, the void beyond the planet remained peaceful and tranquil, so long as one did not come into contact with the Cygnus X anomaly—the Eye of Terror.
There was nothing in the void. To the naked eyes of all humanity on the surface and the detection equipment controlled by the warlords, there was nothing. Yet in truth, this place had already become extraordinarily bustling.
Shielded by detection-jamming devices and cloaking fields, a massive space station lay hidden beyond Terra's orbit. Formations of unmanned transport craft filled the distance between the summit of the Himalayas and the station, carrying countless supplies from the surface into it, along with personnel.
This void facility, which was not actually in orbit at all, was less a space station than a void fortress.
Malcador entered the cloaking field aboard a transport craft, and only then did everything here come into view.
The transport craft flew toward the colossal Void Structure, directed by the system to a docking point that would allow faster access to the station.
After the transport craft docked with the station, Malcador entered a single-person craft and traveled through the enormous void facility.
