Anyways that's was what i dreamed of this night, kinda strange and i don't understand everything yet but i kinda liked it, is this a vision ? Probably not as they are not real. But the tank was a Kontu tank it seems like but with human writing which is the strangest but what am i looking in the sense of a dream ?
When I told Khrenta it seemed weird to her too and she tried to search meaning in it because that's how she is after so many years of working as a psychologist, I probably should ask her how long she worked or how old she is, how could I haven't asked this before? Or maybe I did and forgot.
I asked her and she said she is 2708 cycles old when she encountered me and only worked for 538 cycles as a psychologist but also pointed out that I already asked this before, I guess my memory is starting to get bad, on earth we had things like alzeimer's disease if I recall correctly but I think or at least thought that it was negated by nanobots as it virtually disappeared according to the UE since humans were captured and the fact that nanobots keep us young.
I did a checkup and it's just my brain starting to delete small useless information to remember new ones, exactly what Khrenta though it was but I still wonder if I will forget everything sooner or later, will I be the same person? It doesn't seem to worry Khrenta.
The KCG started to build over earth's oceans instead of draining them for some reason which is strange but I am not an architect from an advanced civilization so what do I know, right?
Today after a survey of revived soldier who died during the zombie outbreak showed a clear memory lapse which is probably my case too and I was just misdiagnosed, thankfully it only affects humans so Khrenta is safe from it.
Sometimes I wonder why people like my personal thoughts like this one when it's supposed to be a recalling of world events.
These last 50 cycles have been unusually calm so much so I have nothing to write about except the fact that I learned that the KCG named a school after me on Earth which I was able to visit.
I have seen more and more humans back coming back to earth which is a cool thing to see.
10 years later a few districts have noticeably fill up with humans and it seem to not rejoice the KCG as usual but I think they are getting used to human.
The new of the KGC discovering a new civilization and for the first time in their space history they decided to choose the diplomatic way instead. Which shocked me and Khrenta but apparently our KCG colleagues were told that they would try the diplomatic way from now on from the experience learned thanks to humans, I am kinda glad we could learn something to an advanced civilization like theirs.
Earth is now completely covered and because of that the solar system is now the 7th core system of the KCG since we have Eondar which also was a core system due to the competition.
When I think that Khrenta will go through space and time as she literally did, it makes me happy. And she is happy that I'm happy which is sweet.
One day out of nowhere an explosion was heard by Khrenta and I in the morning and the sound of a falling building was heard next, when we went to see what it was, because we are curious, and saw one of the sector governing building destroyed, it was a nice building from what I remember, maybe it was the repurposed pentagon from way back when Earth was still human. It was sad and sudden to see that as we went there a few times for diplomatic work. Khrenta was a bit angry but not in a rage or protective state. The ruins reminded those I saw burried in the sand in my dream
Weeks later it was determined that it was an antimatter bomb made from a propulsion pellet which was probably stolen either from a corvette or a pellet production plant. Then a couple more weeks of investigation found that it was a before unknown human expansionist group with one of the perpetrators being from human Earth which is how I will call the pre-invasion Earth. They want the UE to expand outside our allowed sector which is understandable but impossible due to being inside KCG space. Doing a bombing could only degrade our relations and make their wants harder to achieve, maybe it was also an act of vengeance for human Earth but who knows, only a few were confirmed being in that group.
All human inhabitants except a few like myself were kicked from earth into built expansion ships that were supposed to be used later for expansion. I guess there wasn't much of a human population on earth as those ships can fit "only" tens of millions of people.
Today Khrenta had to remind me why Earth was captured, more precisely how it was and in the broader how the KCG used to expand so I will not it here in every detail to not forget. They start by sending a small somewhat camouflaged reconnaissance ship to analyse the system then they have 5 categories of planets
1: An empty of infrastructure planet
2: A planet with a few small colonies that don't reach 10 000 population
3: A planet that is starting to develop with less than 10 millions population
4: A pretty developed planet with up to 5 billion population
5: Pretty much just eucumenopolises
They then build a fleet with corvettes for class 2 planets, class 3 have their own landing motherships and class 4 and 5 have bigger landing motherships where are only stored weapons and soldier are in expantion ships, speaking of expantion ships, a few of them are build using their modularity and often a flagship in form of a cruiser-carrier or a supercruiser-carrier. These ships are flown there and first a bombardment is done by the cruiser-carrier or supercruiser-carrier then they engage in long range (over 50 AU) combat and if enemy ships are too evasive corvettes are send after them, then all landing ships deploy their armies on planets and capture them by killing most of the inhabitants and capturing a few for the (now gone) Eondar competition, in the newly capture territory then analyse using drones for inspiration and technology analysis. I hope it helps me remember.
Today a few humans on an expansion ship that probably have been part of the expansionist group have attacked a few soldiers and managed to kill one which is impressive as Kontus are killing machine and soldier are equipped with an extra exoskeleton. After that humans in those ships were send back to Eondar which is a huge step backwards.
I was informed that the expansionist group have taken control of one of the vessels and landed on Makemake. They keep control by intimidation. Killing those that do not follow their rules. Pretty primitive but somewhat effective. When that was learned but the KCG, they quickly send the only corvette in the system to stop them.
The expansionist group is lucky to be at the aphelion of it's orbit and being able to quickly reverse engineer as they send 4 asteroids onto the corvette which it was able to fend off but due to that it missed it's optimal firing for bombardment.
They also build underground so it's hard to find the entrance so the corvette will take some times to find it. Which is pretty worrying as they might get away with it and the fact that a few millions people are kept captive by them is even more so.
Today the corvette was shot down and it's supposed that they build a hidden anti-ship gun which maybe works like the HVEDS due to it's ammo velocity.
It's been 3 years since the group has landed on Makemake when they decided to attack the Jupiter system and it's colonies. I guess we have a new faction.
They captured Ganymede and asphyxiated ever Kontu that lived there. Which is a horrible way to go.
The KCG decided to gift me and Khrenta a tank with state of the art technology, with human writing inside, exactly like in my dream, Khrenta noticed that too and we looked at each other knowing what we had in mind.
The group then captured Calisto where was located the system shipyard with 2 docks having supercruiser-carriers almost finished, this is a very bad sign.
When the group captured the Jupiter system entirely and finished building those 2 supercruiser-carriers they called themselves "Sons of Eondar" and annouced the foundation of their "stellar empire". Khrenta told me that how they were teached about why the KCG was using this militarist stance it's because of things like this. So this will make the KCG more conservative of this stance and diplomatic relation even harder.
