THE COMING WAR

[furry_wolf2001b]

Yeah.
I was also thinking on what we have seen so far from them.
What they have shown and perhaps what they will throw at him (at the start )might be the older stuff they have, or weaker.
Heck there can be the factor that their enemy's have also noticed and are currently exploiting the bugs weakness back home, so they send them to the new front and hope they will be more effective over there instead of against an enemy who have an established doctrine perhaps exploiting that.
With other forces available, the bugs having shown to have trouble, using them would seem very logical.
And i do not doubt at all that they have other troops then bugs around, just thinking about the species variety and potential in a whole galaxy alone...
Still, just the reserve troops for something as huge as that will swamp most things without notice.
Now Jason is not most things, and this is at least a second front on an ongoing war far from the ho,e ground.
Hmm, did the bug hibernate or was it something like cryo suspension?
What might have been a factor in the warrior/crew choice too.
If you got troops who you can just put away for years on hibernation/freezer the supply demand for food and all the rest gets way more easy to bear.
So that might be a standard thing for them, you have heard of mothball things, well what about whole ships and crew, whole fleets, standing by but still not requiring much at all in maintenance for a loong time.
Might be very attractive indeed for something as huge as a galaxy.
Not to say all troops are in the freezer, but you get my drift i hope.

if there were other species for invasion, where is their language unless all are altred bugs

[furry_wolf2001b]

Err, perhaps they cant even speak each others language?
I mean insects and energy beings perhaps communicates differently then normal spoken words and movable mouth and sound parts.
And that's even -if- they are allowed to communicate in the first place.
Could be loads of reasons why nothing has been found yet.

*shrugs* just because we have seen none, yet, are no real proof of anything.
(unless i am wrong and Jason and co did find info that they are the lone opponents)

Hi,
Been thinking Jason might be able to do something with the fact the Consortium is fighting it's own battles across three galaxies. He could ask the denmother to send spies to investigate for potential allies.

I am also thinking that as the Consortium uses a rip-off of the thousand year old Karrine drive systems that Jason could cut that figure of five years down considerably. After all both Jason & Myleena have been working on the Karrine drive systems for a while now.

They aren't sitting around with closed hands , let me assure you .
I am sure we will read of their advances next time fel graces us with the next chapter.
