Inside the huge battle room, there's a gathering in the Hades base.
Adam and the rest have been observing the destruction of the city.
They were horrified by what happened but losing the city is still within their plan.
The city is almost empty and only a few people are actually living there.
The civilians are now mostly living in the islands.
Most leaders and military personnel are located in Hades with their families.
............
Hades is the first advanced structure that Adam considered as a base that is not part of his summoned units.
The Hades base was made with the combined technology of three groups. The Mazoku Tral's have contributed some of the techs from their world. The technology from this world was gathered by Alice. The base does have a lot of the technology that Adam's toys have. It is full of Translocator cannons and advanced shield arrays for protection. Even the metal that was used for its super structure was some of the toughest metal on earth.
Allot of those metals are readily available in some of the drifting rocks in this area of slice.
The most significant addition to the base is its giant translocation chambers and hangers. These things are capable of transporting a hanger full of ships or a chamber full of ground units, directly into the battle field.
This feature is one of the things that they've been drilling on for almost a year.
By now, Adam can deploy his forces wherever he wants and in any formation, orientation or number that he wish.

Everyone in the battle room reacted the moment Alice showed the enemy ship's new heading.
Everybody swings into action like a well-oiled machine.
A signal was sent to the Haven islands; the people who were left in charge of each of the islands immediately summoned all their people.
The shadow of the big ship is just appearing on top of one of the islands when all of its inhabitants suddenly disappeared.
They were all transported a few thousand miles on another location. This is one of the bases prepared for this kind of situation.
This base is a huge underground facility. Alice discovered it when she was going through the tech files in this planet. She saw thousands of possible locations that they could use as a base.
This particular chamber was built for storage. This place was once a very lucrative diamond mine. It is located hundreds of feet below the surface.
It's long been converted to a living quarters for Adam's people.
On hundreds of locations like this, The Godfather and the rest of the human leaders have sent teams of people to make these kinds of places habitable and comfortable for human use. They have all the amenities and things to make their stay very enjoyable.
The people who escaped from the islands have occupied a few bases like these. They gathered themselves into predetermined groups and were transported to different bases.
This strategy allowed them to spread out and give them the biggest chance for survival.
Most of the bases are also easily defendable. Worst case scenarios where they are discovered and attacked. They can simply trigger another escape using the translocation chamber.
The translocation chambers are set on each one of these bases by Alice. She also has the capability to set them to self-destruct in case the base is compromised and the people in it already escaped.
...........
The five hundred meter long ship hovered on top of the largest island.
The probes showed that this group of islands is one of their bases.
However after it scanned the whole place and the other three islands near it, not a single human are detected.
