And the reconnaissance satellites deployed around Earth soon proved their worth.

It was only when Mora, Sun Cheng's intelligence chief, came to him with video footage while he was forging equipment with the Forge of Solus Prime that he realized South America, which he had thought impregnable, was not as secure as he had imagined.
