"We would like to deny all claims that Mekanta has begun a massive space development project. We have sent nothing to the Moon, Mars, Deimos, Phobos, or the Asteroid Belt."
"The giant construction projects of a singular type currently in geosynchonous orbit above Mekanta is... a cluster of space stations... true. But... they are... One hell of a weather satelite network. Or a bunch of research stations. Whatever you're more likely to believe."
The Mekantan representitive seems to become nervous.
"The new station series is not, as some have said... a weapon. No sir. We have enough weapons in orbit. No need for more. We are willing to release all data made available to the public on the Minagoroshi series of station..."

"Thank you, and remember. Machines don't lie, but telescopes do. So don't trust the telescopes. In fact, don't even look in the sky. At all."

N4T3 laughed when he saw the report, not believing Central Command had the nerve to send out such a message. "What's the status of our Lunar bases?"
A nervous looking Simulant looked down at a tablet, blinking at the electronic display. "Well, sir, we have Luna Prime in independant operation. We've started mining there, and they'll be working with the construction crews to finish construction. Luna Two through Luna Five are almost ready to reach that stage as well."
"Excelent. Mars?"
"Ah, well, ah, since we started quite a ways after the Lunar bases, our Martian bases aren't as far along. However..." He examined the tablet. "The additional units sent there have helped considerably. The Recieving Station is almost done, so we can anticipate a much faster transit between the Phalanx and Mars."
"Good. What's the status of our construction?"
The nervous simulant blinked. "Well, our Phobos base is already complete, due to the crews all stopping there before going on. We'd sent the crews down to the surface, and all reports show good progress. Ares Prime is in independant operation and is expected to be complete within the week. The other eight aren't doing as well and may require additional time." He looked up at N4T3 and nodded. "As for the asteroids, the presence of an existing Recieving Station from when we were rebuilding the Phalanx has helped considerably. We have roughtly 12 asteroids with the mining systems working at them, and more of the systems are expected to arrive soon."
"Good, good. The Minagoroshi?"
The Simulant's eyes dropped. "Behind schedule due to lack of resources. We can estimate the first of the initial five to be completed in about three weeks. The rest will follow."
"Do not worry. We will transfer materials from the others to the first."
N4T3 made a chuckling sound as he recalled the data he had on the Minagoroshi series of stations...

"Soon, the Phalanx won't be the only Megagun-equipped piece of hardware in the skies..." N4T3 began laughing, the sound echoing through the Mekantan sectors of the Phalanx...
