Humans are not guests of the universe.
When a strange light lights up on the other side of the star gate, etiquette, treaties and debates are just luxuries - survival is the only morality.
After the rout, the frontiers were burned, the fleet was broken, the granaries were locked up by the oligarchs, and the streets were filled with refugees. The powers of the old era are still quarreling, but new enemies have crossed the channel and written "extinction" into every telegraph code. Therefore, mankind activated the final charter and awakened the only commander-in-chief.

He used executions to end chaos, used military industry to restart hope, and used star gates to tear apart territories - anyone who blocked the road, regardless of internal or external, was a traitor; anyone who was willing to contribute, regardless of origin, could rise.

The door to the multiverse slowly opened, and his answer still only had two words - outward.
