After giving Robin a few thoughtful seconds to process the cascade of heavy information, Hedrick continued with a deeper, quieter tone:
"...Some years ago—more than I can clearly recall, honestly—my fleet of Stellar Surveyor Ships stumbled upon something unexpected. It wasn't just another asteroid or a dying world like the thousands we map and ignore.
This time, they found a planet. But not just any planet—a colossal one. Its size alone exceeded all standard planetary metrics we've recorded in this quadrant. And more importantly… it had certain unique markers. Characteristics that resonated perfectly with the ancient records describing a Galaxy Seed.
When they reported it back to me, I didn't leave things to chance. I traveled there myself. Personally. I entered the planet's atmosphere through the use of a soul shard. And the moment I stepped inside its atmospheric shell... I knew. There was no doubts that it was a Galaxy Seed."
He paused for just a beat before continuing.
