Rex's hoarse screams echoed through the Main Control Room.
The Proxima Centauri people beside him blanched when they heard the word "rebellion"!
Rebellion...
That word had not been heard in Proxima Centauri's history for at least several thousand years!
Ever since Proxima Centauri had been unified and its current class system established, rebellion had become a word found only in history books.
The Proxima Centauri individual responsible for communications picked up the nearby communications device with trembling forelimbs and pressed several buttons in sequence.
Perhaps because it was late at night, the call went unanswered for a long time.
"What's going on?!" Rex roared at the communications operator in a fury.
Under his rebuke, the operator's four limbs trembled even harder.
"L-Lord Rex, perhaps it's too late. The Royal Family and the Academy of Sciences..."
Just as Rex was about to lose his mind, the call suddenly connected.
"The Hatching Center? Can't this wait until tomorrow?" A long exhalation came through the communications device. Clearly, the Proxima Centauri individual who had answered had just woken up.
Rex roughly shoved the operator aside and picked up the communications device himself.
"This is Norris. A rebellion has broken out at the Hatching Center!"
"I need reinforcements!"
Silence filled the communications device. Clearly, his words had stunned the other party.
A few seconds later, a panicked voice came through. "Norris... Lord Rex, I'll go get Lord Lair right away!"
"..."
Norris turned to look at the surveillance system, which was working normally again. The terror deep in his eyes grew stronger.
In just a few minutes, those lowly Proxima Centauri people had occupied the entire first floor of the Hatching Center!
Throughout the Hatching Center, the blasts of small explosive charges and the reports of old-fashioned gunpowder firearms rang out one after another.
