Zenith… tricked us. The Swarm pulled us away long enough to finish the job on Herias. Why? Why all this senseless killing?

Zenith mentioned an “expansion”. It might be a clue to their motivations. More investigation is required.

It relied on using the Franklin’s external hailing frequencies, it was just the right match for the Swarm’s network…
