Knowing Too Much

Ves felt a bit depressed as he ended his call with Jovy.

He leaned back in his chair and looked around his private design lab.

The state of red humanity was deteriorating by the day. The native aliens had commenced their final push and seemed determined to break any semblance of organized resistance.

Now, Ves just learned that Human High Command might not go out of their way to stop the fifth defensive band from getting breached.

If Ves was reading in between the lines correctly, Jovy's answers came with the ominous implication that failed defensive battles and the mass slaughter of human civilians may be a deliberate part of HHC's strategy!

While the Red Three and all of the states publicly proclaimed their determination to defend humanity's borders and value the life of every human, their leaders had secretly come to a consensus to sacrifice entire zones filled with defenseless civilians in order to stimulate the birth of god pilots!
