“Yes, according to the latest intelligence, the Swarm’s main forces are concentrated in the M579 Star System. However, it doesn’t appear to be their origin point. Interestingly, a highly unusual native species has been discovered there.”
“Oh?” Diallo’s curiosity was piqued.
“This species evolved from beasts to a civilized race in just a few hundred years.”
“Hah, a familiar pattern. Looks like this Swarm also enjoys conducting experiments,” Diallo said with a dry laugh, as if recalling a distant memory. “Annoying creatures! Didn’t they uncover anything useful from that native species?”
Aslit shook her head. “The Swarm’s defenses in that area are exceptionally tight. Coupled with their inherent mystery, even with the suzerain’s technological capabilities, infiltrating them undetected seems impossible. To avoid alarming them, all surveillance has been conducted at a distance.”
“Typical!” Diallo snorted disdainfully.
“Your Highness, yesterday I reviewed the collected information with the think tank and arrived at a new hypothesis,” Aslit ventured cautiously.
“Oh? What kind of hypothesis?”
“Based on the Swarm’s external characteristics, we suspect they might be a mutated biological species.”
