"Who are you?" I asked in return, my tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
There was no pause.
"I am Sek," he replied, "the forty-seventh general of the Legion of Iron and Flame."
Forty-seventh? I narrowed my eyes slightly.
How many were there in total?
"I am Billion Ironhart," I said. "Sovereign of the Blue Spiral Galaxy."
For a brief moment there was silence.
