Callaghan was about to give the order to Carolus to destroy the Unisphere, but he froze there for a second. The Unisphere was about to get destroyed...the central powering of this universe was going to get destroyed and the U.U.E. wasn't sending backup, no nothing. Sure, this was just one universe in their many territories, but that'd be a whole universe the D.I.N. would be occupying. What gives...? Where was the D.I.N's strategy structurally unsound? It was an invasion force, the D.I.N. had people defending the homeland but...

Furthermore, he figured there'd be a bunch of safeguards on the planet iself....

"Carolus!" Callaghan yelled into his communication device. "Get out of there! Now! OZMAGNUMOPUS, provide immediate escape!"

He hoped they'd be able to get out of there quickly. Something was going on here, and it wasn't good. It wasn't good at all.

"The hell is this...?" Alternate universe Callaghan asked himself out loud. "I don't even recognize these numbers. This is a completely different language from before. OZMAGNUMOPUS, analyze the information and upload a de-code into my mind. I have a feeling they got this from someone much more advanced than they."

For now, Callaghan waited until OZMAGNUMOPUS finished analyzing the code.

"Who? Who's watching?!" Zarall demanded. "Cassius? He isn't real, Ezekiel! Are you talking about whatever is behind Cassius? We have a plan for that. All we need is your cooperation. You can't keep letting them get away with this!"

Zarall slashed down a few renewed soldiers as she spoke. She hoped that Ezekiel would listen to reason. Most of all, she hoped that she was correct.

Callaghan impatiently tapped his foot. This Empire was massive, and they were no doubt developing countermeasures as the D.I.N. advanced. They were currently in control of much less than one percent of their territory, and whatever was at the top of this Totalitarian mess was definitely going to descend from his throne if push came to shove and likely destroy the rest of them. Callaghan reached into his satchel and gripped the animal pelt inside. No. Not yet. He had to stay level headed here, and if he went to that option, there was likely no going back.

Mara and Callagan reached the Ministry headquarters eventually. Shay was with them. Zarall wasn't, but Callaghan was strong enough now to fill her role too. The trio were suited up, ready for a fight. Callaghan looked to the skies to see the chaos going on, the Space Corps valiantly fighting U.U.E. forces. He had a bad feeling about this. All he had to do was trust in the D.I.N, trust in OZMAGNUMOPUS, and believe in himself.

"Ready?" Shay asked, his back to the doors.

"Ready." Callaghan confirmed. Shay kicked the doors down, and they all went in, guns blazing.

Back at the homeland, the Space Corps patiently waited. OZMAGNUMOPUS had earlier informed them that the U.U.E. was definitely planning something, according to the most likely of its predictive models. They had faith, for if they entered the Virgo Supercluster, it wouldn't be much of a fight, especially since what they were really packing was currently inside of one of their many Subpsace Highways. They were confident.
