Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

Alice nodded as she looked at Adrian, "yes Task Force X was lie. The origins of the myth came from a group of Star league warships that became lost during Reunification Wars. The Clans knew about the myth and vested a large amount of resources finding the lost Task Force. However after decades of searching it was deemed a fools search. Professor Angsoft was faced with a termination of funding, so I suggested that we claim that we could located the missing Task Force and deliver the missing ships to the Lyrans. We falsified some of the records and the Lyran Navy did the rest of the work for us. It was a bit funny as the effort kind of took on a life of its own. The Navy even set up their own task force to make sure that they gave us everything we needed to find the missing Task Force. The Lyran Navy jumped at the opportunity and opened the flood gates of funding. They even asked us to create a list of probable ships of the Task Force that has survived. The night before Professor Angsoft was to present this list, I created it. They were blinded by illusion of warships to see what we were really doing."

She paused for a moment, "you said you had two questions Adrian."
