With the decision to accelerate the needed reforms through the manifolds being made, Central Human Command had a blueprint for the immediate future. It was unlikely that any immediate conflicts would ensue in the span of just a week. The Web of War had taken a lot of damage to its breachhead and its interdiction force.
