In the Human Federation's conference room, the commissioners were all rather unsettled.
Ever since the Parasite attack at the Landing Site, the situation on the ground had remained unclear.
Before the video feed cut out, they had confirmed that the questioner finished their question, but they didn't get to hear the answer.
The news that had come from Sisiya a short while ago was not optimistic either.
The Parasite Ascenders had slaughtered massive numbers of ordinary Parasites, trying to starve the Alien Intelligence of the food it needed—a tactic designed to harm humanity.
The Human Federation had never anticipated such a mutually destructive tactic.
All they knew now was that the Sisiya soldiers had suffered heavy casualties and had withdrawn from the core area. Uninjured soldiers from the outer defense line were rotating in to fill the gaps, but there had been no further updates.
"This was our mistake."
