Within an unnamed galaxy in the Centaurus Supercluster.
In the vast, empty starfield, a Mother Nest and tens of billions of insects were heading toward their next target.
Suddenly, an obscure tachyon fluctuation arrived from afar, swiftly swept over the Mother Nest, and continued toward more distant star regions.
After a brief wait, a much stronger signal emanated from the Mother Nest.
The immense swarm of tens of billions of insects changed course in unison, heading toward the star region around the galaxy's central black hole.
The spacetime fluctuations generated by curvature navigation stirred outward-spreading ripples across the spacetime ocean.

Cleaners Headquarters.

"Leader, another request for reinforcements has arrived from the Shapley Supercluster theater!" a subordinate reported anxiously from nearby. "A new wave of Human Fleet reinforcements has reached the battlefield!"
"Preliminary observations put the reinforcement fleet at roughly three hundred million ships!"
