The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5010

5010. The Great Severing

The evening' of the second day finally rolled in. The residents of Davute VII actually had to wait until late in the night before the Big Two broadcasted their historic announcement. The local time of the planet was not precisely synchronized to standard time.

In any case, a lot of humans in Davute and elsewhere had stopped what they were doing' in order to witness the MTA and CFA's first public address since the galactic displacement event.

They were bound to reveal a lot of shocking and explosive information!

Ves already had a good idea on the topics that the Big Two planned to mention this time, but most people including his wife should still remain in the dark.

The unrest across human space in the new frontier had subsided to a remarkable degree. This was the power the Big Two had over contemporary human society.

From the poorest third-raters to the most powerful Terran or Rubarthan, each of them had to respect the MTA and the CFA's hegemony over the human race!

This condition did not change after the galactic displacement event. Whether it would remain so in the future was anyone's guess, but for now the Big Two still remained in charge!

"Papa-"

Ves smiled indulgently at Aurelia as he put her on his lap. "Are you feeling well, my dear?"

His oldest daughter nodded. "I feel stronger than yesterday! I have grown more hungry as well."

"That is good." He replied. "That means your body is adapting more to the change in environment than many other people."

Andraste looked even more enthused. "I'll become an even stronger warrior after 1 absorb the new galaxy's rays!"

Ves coughed. "It's not that simple. Not everything that comes from M87 is necessarily safe or benign. Besides, everyone will get stronger, not just you, pumpkin. You still need to work hard if you want to stay on top of everyone."

He continued to chat with his kids until the time of the announcement had finally come.

A large projection came to life in the underground living room.

It first displayed the two familiar emblems of the Big Two. The mere sight of them was enough to reassure a lot of humans!

After that, the projection switched to displaying a simple metal chamber that was typically used to hold press conferences.

The chairs in front of the podium remained empty. No journalists or other guests had been invited at this time.

The air shimmered for a moment before two new figures teleported into place.

Gloriana gasped first. "That is the Lord of Thermodynamics! He is one of our oldest Star Designers, and one of the first to emerge!"

"Ohhh." Marvaine looked fascinated. "How old is he, mama?"

"His Excellency Hendrick Polt is over 450 years old! He was born at the end of the Age of Conquest. He is one of the great pioneers of mech technology alive today. His work on increasing the performance of power reactors is a large reason why most mechs but especially first-class ones have become so strong!"

It took great accomplishments in order to gain such an impressive title!

"Who is the other guy?" Andraste asked.

"I know him. He should be Fleet Admiral Stanley Argile." Ves replied. "He is the man in charge of the CFA Second Main Fleet. It is the strongest whole fleet that the CFA has transferred to the Red Ocean."

"Is he just as old as the Star Designer?"

"No. He should be around 330 years old according to the record. He's relatively young."

While the MTA and CFA did not believe in centralization, they had chosen their representatives well.

Both the Lord of Thermodynamics and Fleet Admiral Argile possessed enough power and prestige to speak on behalf of their respective _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

organizations.

Ves was not surprised that the MTA did not put forth a god pilot. A figure like that would be so overpowering that no one would pay any attention

to the poor CFA fleet admiral!

The Star Designer spoke first at this time. Though old, his voice held a gentle and reassuring quality that inspired a lot of stability in people's

minds.

"Humans of the Red Ocean. Our lives have changed forever. Yesterday, a pan-racial indigenous organization called the 'Red Cabal' implemented a
