THE BLACK VERITECH

Chapter 14: Divergence

Captain Global ordered all available veritechs and mechas to be ready for combat, the battle in space continued and nothing was known about Breetai's fleet after the destruction of the Dolza base.

The wait was the most distressing that Knight or any surviving pilot had experienced, but then around noon Breetai himself communicated with SDF-1, the battle for zentraedi supremacy was over and the Zentraedis allies had emerged victorious.

All the military personnel breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. In fact, Global himself announced the end of the war to the civilians, although he did not inform them of the unfortunate fate of the planet.

Global communications had disappeared, the captain knew that all private or military satellites had been destroyed, so he asked Breetai's fleet to position itself on the planet and scan the entire surface from space in order to get a clear idea of the damage to the planet.

What he saw globally shook him up, the planet suffered destruction that covered 70% of the planet's surface.

Global immediately called an emergency meeting with the ship's commanders and Dr. Lang. Rick, Max and Knight had also been called up to be the leaders of their respective squadrons, along with other squadron leaders, which of course no longer meant a large number due to casualties.

The meeting that took place the next day was more informative than anything else. Lang and Exedore reported that despite the destruction, the planet was lucky.

"Due to the lack of protoculture, only 80% of Dolza's ships with reflex weapons fired on the planet, and these discharges were made at only 20% of their destructive capacity," reported Exedore.

"Due to the sudden attack, the Zentraedi ships did not select their targets, focusing on the areas that gave off the most light, i.e. the most important cities."

"The area to be attacked was divided into two parts, 50% in the continents, especially in the northern hemisphere; the other 50% was on the islands in the oceans, Dolza believed that military bases were on islands around the planet's oceans, a matter of space warfare logic, the Micronians did not think that way and therefore the continents were spared from further damage" Exedore told them.

"According to the data sent to us by Commander Breetai, the west coast of North America, southern Europe, eastern Russia and northern Africa along with the Middle East were devastated and rendered uninhabitable by radiation for the next 10,000 years," Lang reported, and several of those present swallowed saliva, making the planet's valuable oil and gas reserves overnight unusable.

"Captain, what can we do?" Lisa asked worried.

"At the moment we can do nothing, fortunately the ship landed in one of the radiation-free zones on the planet, the other point in the northern hemisphere that was spared from destruction were the Nordic countries and Japan," Global reported.

"The Grand Canyon in Alaska was responsible for the destruction of 250,000 Zentraedi ships, which caused Dolza to order the ships over Japan and the Nordic countries to head for Alaska and destroy the entire site with conventional laser fire due to the loss of protoculture to launch reflex attacks," reported Exedore.
