92. The Choice Before Morning

Carlos stared at Cosmic's last message until the words began to annoy him.

Of course he needed to prioritize. He was not a child who needed somebody to explain that two urgent problems could not both be solved at the same time. But that was exactly what made it annoying.

The Training Yard Blueprint sat on the kitchen table beside the unopened Commander Chest. The Gatehouse Blueprint was still in his inventory. The barrack frame could change one of his barracks completely if he made the right choice.
