Dave continued to tell miss Miller about the incident...

"After we made contact with them, by our surprise they were humans. But their level of technology was amazing. My Osiris warship was a small frigate compared to their flagships or even with the smallest battleship. Sirius was divided into 3 grand factions. The Orion Consortium, The Tau Alliance, and The Triumvirate of Pegasus. These groups were mainly formed of humans, but their leaders were unknown to me, these 3 groups were in link with some sort of federation organization, that was formed of various alien entities around our galaxy. But that federation collapsed decades ago when the Vyrr war started, so the only powers in the galaxy remained these 3 groups. As Sirius being a strategical resource star cluster, the 3 groups battled 30 years ago, in a war that was later known as "The Core Wars". The Triumvirate was a military organization and had the role to ensure protection and peace throughout the galaxy, as some sort of security op. I worked for the Triumvirate. I rise into their ranks, promoted to use a Legendary Class Dreadnought and hunted for the Vyrr threat. I was there for .... 20 years ! *looked with a dark figure at miss Miller* You need to see this..."

He then took out from his hand attached device a small round chip at the size of a coin. He put it on the table, and then an amazingly detailed galactic holographic map appeared filling almost the entire room.

"This is the galaxy and there *showed to the various blue dots around the map* were the main planets of the Triumvirate."

Then the map began to show different strategic direction and battle groups around the entire galaxy, with high-detail images and recorded feedback directly from the battlefield.

"The Core Wars period..."

The map changed again and presented again various tactical directions, dots representing Triumvirate, Orion and Tau fleets against the Vyrr that were coming from outside the galaxy, and other inner-galactic coordination. Recorded feedback from the contact with the Vyrr was presented, Dave looked with a tragic look and it was seen how small sheds of tears fell on his cheeks, records of battles, space catastrophes made by the Vyrr to neutralize the human forces. And in the end...

"They manage to did it *looking to miss Miller*, the bastards managed to destabilize the Galaxy Core. What you see on the map were the 3 belts, that were created by some unknown ancient races to stabilize the galactic core or viceversa. The Vyrr used some highly accelerated neutrino-antimatter weaponry to create space-time and gravitational destabilization... *the map showed the Pegasus arm and several others thorn apart from the original shape of the galaxy* Our last hope was the Pegasus' belt, but the Triumvirate failed... "

He waited and continued...

"My new looks, the implants, the robotic parts of me, are signs of hard battles I've been through, with them enhancing my body and giving me another chance to see the stars another day..."
