"So, wait a second," Champ said, "Who EXACTLY were those guys?"

"More or less, in a nutshell, Canadians," Jakob replied.

"Eh?" Champ responded sarcastically.

"Hmmm......most wouldn't expect to be invaded by Canada. But I suppose that makes it all the more likely that they WOULD be the ones to be spying on others, as they could easily shift the blame to others." Alex responded, looking thoughtful.
"There's no way to track them. I've already checked.....so what can we do? You know where to find those guys?"

Jakob cast Champ a half-amused look, though behind his mask, anyway. He then turned to Alex.
"Obviously in Canada. However, they've managed to hide all evidence of the existence of an army for this long, despite the ever-growing tourism over there. We're not going to find anything there."
Jakob thought for a couple of seconds, then got an idea.
"You know how the nuclear weapons used on Europe gave off signatures usually present in Cluster weapons? There's a chance that they're operating in the Cluster in order to get such signatures in the first place."

"Interesting idea," Champ said, "But how exactly do we find out whether it's right?"

"Only one way to find out," Jakob said, pointing up. "Besides, I always wanted to check out Cluster Prime. Never had any methods of transport though."

"Well.....I just so happen to have finished a fighter of sorts just for that purpose. I need to see what Gene has to say on the matter before taking any action that could be considered 'hostile' toward the Cluster, though. I'm going to jet over there and see what's up on his end. You coming along, or just let me know when you're set to go?" Alex asked enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, at Mr. Wright's townhouse...
"All right. Thank you, sir. Good day." Gene hangs up the phone and sighs. He'd spent the past ten days making countless calls to Cluster officials, in an attempt to figure out just what the heck happened to Europe. Because of his connections to Queen Vexus, he was able to reach almost everyone who was still loyal to her. Unfortunately, his all-access pass only served to emphasize how little her people actually knew about the situation.
All he could say for certain was that neither Vexus' government nor that of her daughter Vega were responsible for the attack, and that whoever was to blame had also pulled off the most thorough infiltration of the Cluster military in its three-thousand-year history. These people were professionals of the highest order, masters of sabotage with a galaxy-wide reach and Lord knows how many resources at their disposal. Beyond that, he had no idea who they could be. Or how to stop them, Gene thinks.

"Lets visit Gene first. We could use the good ambassador."

((I guess me? I don't know. Guess we'll head on over.))
Alex knocked on the door, still looking like a human teenager. He was having fun with it. He knocked on the door several times. "You there? We need to talk."

Gene opens the door. "Yeah?" He sees Alex, Jakob, and someone he didn't yet know. "Oh, it's you guys. Hey, do you know anything about the attack on Europe? I've been trying to figure it out since day one, and all I've got so far is that it wasn't done by either side of the Cluster. Which leaves the whole rest of the universe as suspects, so yeah."

Jakob stuck a thumb into his chest. He later dropped it saying, "I have some good ideas on who's involved. However, they no-doubt have operatives in Cluster Prime itself. We're planning on going there to investigate. We wondered if you planned to tag along, seeing as you've got good relations with Vexus."
"How about who it is?"
"It's not safe to discuss them further, apart from the fact that I believe they're Canadians. Are you in or out?"

"Count me in," Gene says. "I want answers as much as anyone else. And from what I've heard, Cluster Prime could use some extra boots on the ground."
