"Yes, Omega?" I asked as a hologram in the shape of a grim reaper appeared on my desk.

"We've got news. The reason for the delay is because of a discovery that was just made regarding the anti-warp technology the Omni-Union has been using. Dr. Einheimer and AI Henry were able to create a software patch that will protect us from the warp jamming. We will be able to rely on standard tactics during the invasion," the AI said.

"Excellent. Then this will be easier than I thought!"

"Indeed. We will also be bringing warp disrupter buoys to disrupt enemy incursion into the system. They will be forced to exit warp outside of the system and enter the system on impulse engines, which will give us another edge."

"They might even just jump into the system and end up with a bunch of scraps for their trouble," I said with a chuckle.

"It's possible, but let's not count our ducks until they hatch. Especially since even the republic noticed the warp irregularities."

"Ducks? Isn't it chickens?" I asked, getting off topic.

"I like ducks more than chickens," the AI said with a hint of humor.
