Chapter 728 – The Machine

Nick's plan had taken form, but it was a long and complex one that probably needed centuries to complete.

 

Maybe it would even need millennia.

 

'Well, Specters don't suffer from longevity issues. As long as I can keep surviving and secretly working with humanity, we will never lose our goals.'

 

'As a Specter, I also won't attract attention if I become an Adversary. Even more, I might even be able to become an Eternal if I can sell myself well enough to the aliens.'

 

At that moment, Nick had a crazy thought.

 

One of the five Eternals hadn't fit into the greater scheme of things before.

 

'Nurse Alice,' Nick thought. 'It can't be, right?'

 

Nick thought of Nurse Alice.

 

She didn't really contribute to the Zephyx mine's safety.

 

Nurse Alice was also very humanlike.

 

Nick had once been a human, and he managed to become a Specter.
