"We changed our priorities."
She answered without hesitation.
"Before that day, our rescue missions focused almost entirely on freeing captured resistance members."
She shook her head.
"After meeting your ancestor, every Eternal prison suddenly became a source of information."
I listened quietly.
"We began attacking facilities throughout the Prime Territory looking for newly captured members of the original bloodlines. Every rescue brought new names, new family trees and occasionally another forgotten branch that had survived somewhere in a distant corner of the Prime Universe."
Her eyes drifted toward me.
"Some had spent centuries believing they were the last of their bloodline. Eventually we realized rescue missions alone weren't enough. So we changed our strategy again."
She leaned forward slightly.
"We planted spies. Some worked as servants. Others as laborers. Some infiltrated transport divisions while others remained hidden within cities for centuries."
