A week later, people from Central Base arrived in Eldoria. They came in ten vehicles with a hundred people.
In the telegram, they had originally said they only wanted to borrow three tons of grain seed, but this time they suddenly asked for ten tons, along with medical equipment, agricultural equipment, medicinal herbs, and weapons.
Rhys Chase called an emergency meeting with the base administrators that night. Eldoria was still rebuilding, so the medical equipment, agricultural equipment, and weapons would likely be a one-way loan. As for the grain seed, Central Base's representative promised to return thirty tons after two years.
