"Good to hear, Admiral," William finally said. "And I'll be waiting. I look forward to meeting your Grand Admiral soon."
"You'll meet him soon enough, Mr. William," Kevin replied. "And trust me—he may be even more eager to meet you. Especially with what you're offering. Two Tier-7 warships… and with full blueprint access? That alone changes everything."
He gave a short laugh. "And considering he's the Federation's highest-ranking spokesperson for our warship doctrine—as opposed to mech-based command—well… you can imagine how quickly he'll move to accept your gift."
William laughed lightly at that.
Elsa, who had remained mostly quiet throughout the exchange, finally spoke. Her voice was calm, thoughtful—and strangely enchanting.
