One Week Later - Planet Jura - Research and Development City Just a few months ago, this place was nothing more than a dangerous wilderness, an untamed mountainside crawling with beasts and unknown dangers. A land where humans dared not tread unless absolutely necessary. However, fate had something entirely different in store for this forsaken land. By a twist of luck - or perhaps destiny - this very location had been chosen to host a secret space portal, a last resort meant to be used only in dire emergencies. But secrecy, as always, was a fleeting illusion. The emergency came far sooner than expected. The legions of the Great Serpent Empire descended like a storm, leaving destruction in their wake. Though the space portal itself miraculously survived the chaos, it was no longer a hidden asset. Its location had been exposed as it was used, its activation recorded, and soon enough, it would appear on every radar across the region for decades. A burned card. No longer a trump card for desperate times. And so, in a bold move, the decision was made - this place, once a barren land of dangers and forgotten ruins, would become something new. Something grand. It would become The City of Research and Development! A city that would stand as the heart of innovation and progress for the True Empire. A city that would gather the brightest minds, the greatest scholars, the most daring inventors, and the most ambitious researchers. A loud impact echoed as a young man collapsed onto both knees, his body trembling as if every ounce of strength had left him. He had walked for weeks, endured hardships beyond measure, and now, finally, he had arrived. With a dramatic flourish, he spread his arms wide, as though expecting the city itself to embrace him. His eyes shimmered like twin stars, brimming with dreams and boundless enthusiasm. His lips curled into an enormous grin, stretching from one ear to the other, his excitement practically infectious to anyone who laid eyes on him. Before him stood the city's incomplete walls, towering structures of reinforced stone and intricate metalwork. The sounds of construction filled the air - clang clang went the hammers, hissss crackled the flames of welding torches. He took it all in, every sight, every sound, every scent of fresh metal and burning stone. Then, after what felt like an eternity, he could no longer contain himself. He threw back his head and let out a triumphant shout - "AAHHH! I finally made it! I've finally arrived at my new home!" His deafening cry turned heads. The builders and rune masters, standing atop scaffolds and working tirelessly, paused for a brief moment, glancing toward the overexcited newcomer. Some chuckled. Others shook their heads in amusement. But none stopped their work - this city would not build itself. However, not everyone remained silent. A powerful slap landed on the back of the young man's head.
