The truce with the Terran Federation opened a floodgate of information. Vexia and her team of scientists were ecstatic, working around the clock with their new Terran counterparts to unravel the mysteries of their two realities.
"It's incredible," Vasa said, her eyes glued to a holographic display showing the interaction between a magic spell and a particle beam. "Their physics and our magic are two sides of the same coin. They're both just ways of manipulating the fundamental energy of the universe."
The practical applications of this new, unified science were staggering. They developed "techno-magic," a hybrid technology that fused Terran engineering with coalition magic. Ships with hulls woven from binding runes and powered by miniature black holes. Weapons that fired bolts of pure arcane energy guided by predictive combat AIs.
Their civilization was leaping forward, becoming more powerful, more advanced, with each passing day.
