Selected passages from P.X: No Man’s Space.

“The headquarters of this body will be established at the University of Cambridge. For centuries, Cambridge has stood as a center of discovery and learning. It has the infrastructure, the reach, and the spirit of collaboration required to bring the world’s expertise together. From this hub, humanity’s defense will be forged.”

Kai spoke quietly to himself, “Cambridge, huh. A university town steering the planet.”
