Frequency of ... 2059 Kilovolts... clawed hand hovered over the controls. Today is the second sun cycle of Gliese shining over Lothir Prath, Keth had his mind else where than of the controls of the Daeltoth.406Please respect copyright.PENANAGahrPL7BZw
His mind was on his home,where Eitha and Reile two of his five partners.
They were in the birthing season of the sun cycle. Even though, he wished he was there to witness the process. And the kreeing of his own offspring. Keth sighed, his maw clicked sorrowfully. Diema fondly rested her claws on his shoulders “you should rest” she said, “Keth shook his head, Not until the captain is back.406Please respect copyright.PENANAoTStPSftJY
Of the Iadiath, Keth was one of The select few whom was chosen to venture the Daeltoth , him and five others, the Commander Blius-Tein, Ultaeli the archivist, Diema the medic, Ylrie , the scientist, and Auili-Uin the biomechanics specialist.
Keth reflected back to his past, around the time, the humans made contact. They were ruthless at first, after a time, they eventually came to understand our race, he recalls the time he was shot by one of them during the clash off of Terra Sol, . There was a tension all the way until after translations and communications were established. Although, Insecti was what the humans called it called us, our specie was a bridge the gap between many, Although We resembled things they called bugs – and reptiles, we were far superior to both, The humans where were able to learn from us , proved a highly adaptable specie, although equally as stubborn.
Before chaos ensued, we were receive many garbled transmissions there were a series of strange frequency from Tetrasolus , and could not make any sense of , Ultaeli and Auili-Uin where in Living quarters , Preparing for fertilization, they seemed eager to create their perfect offspring. Yet he had to interrupt them awkwardly signaling them to return to their stations. Commander had yet to arrive to the deck were Keth was stationed so he was left in charge, of the ship received the first incoherent message...
The Biomechanics dash lit and He as the chirped in Keth could hear the mechanics clawed extremities firing up the Hyper-Phase Core, and slowly the ships beating Heart sped up. A moment and the ship screeched with a Metallic reverberation which overloaded the Comm.
"Sorry. Repeat that, Keth, the signal, what was it was it the Humans?" Auili-Uin clicked and chattered to the ship console that connected to the neuro-transmitter relay linking to the organisms’ brain. “I Don’t think so to ---arbled , the comm cutout again That would be different a particle Phase.
The ship groaned as the bio-mechanist focused the visual sense toward the origin to get a clearer signal. The bio-mechanist chirped in again "Sensors read at 20 sectors away from the planet’s atmosphere. There seems to be an anomaly “ The Commander awkwardly entered the bridge, and resumed control the ship.
"Pilot Keth, what is the current status.” Keth informed him on what transpired, Blius-Tein clicked "as I assumed”, "Activate Comm,". "Auili, the commander growled," I’ve seen this before," "back before I first arrived to Command this tloth, this phenomena is dangerous These “Fractures’ are dangerous, and the creatures that emerged from them techniques for modular reconstruction of atoms exceeds the Iadaths own methods, and managing to subdue them the first time lead to these fracture travelers being enslaved and many permanently unarmed, The Creatures were smart, Fast and visceral.
Blius thought back, back his first encounter with the Anakar, when he worked for the Brethren of Iadath, the Reptilian creature from the fractures, was of nothing he had ever seen before. He was sure to have looked just as strange in the creatures’ eyes, Blius, a quadrupedal insectoid, odd wormlike maw with rows of sereated teeth which could eviscerate a small mammal in seconds. Blius was the stranger of the two. , out of curiosity click, whirred and chattered, to see if this creature had the ability to communicate. "What do you want Bug?!" The Anakar roared, Blius whom was caught off guard by the ferocity of the beast and jumped back , the Creature could understand Him?! Blius felt the Dial for his Plasma Lance and immediately set to charge up . The creature laughed and Blius relaxed, still tense with all six of his eyes transfixed on this Odd creature. He dared not let his claw off the handles of the weapon.
"My Bug Friend, you seem a little jumpy for a creature as ugly as yourself”, the creature started to circle him. This creature called him a Bug, similar to how the humans did. Blius resented the thought. He screeched, as he felt himself hurled into a wall, yet his foe had not moved, one of Blius’ back legs felt numb from the impact, and he struggled to regain his bearings.
Once he finally regained his balance, Blius franticly looked for the source, yet to his surprise all he could make through a dark haze was the creature, whose muscles rippled, and one palm glowed a bright blue energy. The creature obviously wanted to fight him this it very making it very clear.
Blius had known one of his crewmembers, Ylrie Oritheni had begun reasurch on Localized Particle Acceleration, and Phase Stabilization the blast had that kind of power, must have been the doing of Ylrie , and this Creatur, meaning his friend had betrayed them... Yet he had his doubts … OR had he? Blius was no longer sure.
This the scaled bastard had to be stopped, and he had to figure out what was going on. Whatever was going on, what exactly. Was this creature an escaped experiment or an alien thriving on the destruction… Blius had not known. He felt as if he was one of those awkward bipedal warriors in that curious strange history of those humans. He laughed, what a peculiar thought that was, in his situation thought like those could not be delved into. There was no time to waste he had to fight once he engaged the Plasma Lance , It hummed to life as the Biodes of the weapon pulsed , without warning , even before he could pull the trigger everything faded to black.
“Blius-Tien!”, He found himself back on Tetrasolus, Keth was several feet away from him, Severely injured ,a gash across his chest, There was no sign of Ylrie or the others, Keth he was pointing at something that Blius had not yet seen. He turned six eyes resting upon the visage of chaos. Many Buildings and mountain ,spires were reduced to rubble and…and…his eyes widened.
…And the Daeltoth. The hull of his precious ship had smashed into a large unrecognizable construct, he could not believe what happened, exactly, WHAT had happened anyway? What event had transpired too witness the own crash of his ship that he was on, but not on?
And where were the rest was the rest of the colony, it looked like a large Virihak had rampaged through the entire city. He craned his neck, many of the more recognizable structures were collapsing. How was he and his crew members managed back on ground, when seconds ago the ship was At least a trillion of squared subsectors away from their home planet?
Then it hit him, as he was not used to space exploration, the one he could refer to was the scientist. Ylrie. He had to find him. He scrambled toward the breached hull of his ship... Yet Blius was sure he was involved with the crash , oblivious to Consequences , among other present matters at hand. First he had to locate his companion. As he scurried towards the breach in the hull, he stumbled across the reptilian, whom was ,wheezing heavily from the haze, wide eyed in disbelief looking at his arms , the creatures sharpened bony protrusions, now shattered stumps, and one arm was mangled beyond repair , Blius noticed the other forearm been severed. The Plasma Lance always left a clean cut, nothing as gruesome as that , “You there.”, As the creature grunted as it looked up, Blius upon closer inspection noticed that the creature had 2 sets of eyes…Or looked like it should have as part of its skull was exposed, and where there should have been an eye was a gaping socket. “What are you?” he asked. The Creature gasped “Ana…Kari…I… am …, Lieutenant Jidaek Nalius, of the Anakar Legion, My brethren … “the creature wheezed again, “have betrayed me. , a large Rebelius group I lead awas from the turmoil of my Home,
Do you know of the system of Sol?” Blius replied in the affirmative. The Ana’ Kari , said “I will help dig your companions out of the wreckage, and Repair your ship only if you have your Forger create a new blade, eye and arm for me. , I admire your specie’s prowess with emblazoning” And Take me and my companions to Earth. Blius responded, “How do we know this is not just a ploy to exterminate us at our weakest, destroy allies and what of the fight? The Ana’ Kari replied, I was curious to know how strong my new allies would be. It was a test of sorts…”, “Oh, and you asked how you would know to trust us?” as the Ana’kar turned away He replied, with a smirk, “You can’t , furthermore, my friend the reason you lost was Willing ness to exceed, to become better , stronger, you’d have to be faster.”
Ylrie found himself on the floor of his lab on board the Daeltoth, sMust have fallen asleep while working. This would be embarrassing If Ultaeli Koeur or the Commander saw him he would be suspended, at least for the duration of the voyage back to Tetrasolus. Swirling darkness , what kind of matter had it consisted of? All he could remember was an entity, of darkness, ‘Entities don’t exist’, he reminded himself , but if my hypothesis is correct, interdimensional beings do, at least the possibility of them , this is what that Formless void beast was , somehow He knew. He felt the ship jolt and groan. Those damn Engines, If the biomechanist would let him apply his formula to them the Cores wouldn’t have to be so bulky and inefficient .
He shakily Stood up and looked around, at the center of his now completely ruined lab , floated a Crystaline sphere , the stabilized singularity had maintained the through artificial gravity of the ship, and “he clicked with an air of joy. He had done …It was beautiful …he had stabilized singularity, the result this Crystalline orb that Encased inside it a paradox, was the That shifted from a brilliant light and the smoky darkness and back again, Constant motion, Constant Rest, simultaneously, looking at it straight on hurt his head, As, what Ultaeli would say what it resembled what the humans call yin and yang, equilibriums, this thing he held in his claws was a True Equilibrium, Balanced to the nth degree, a stabilized paradox,
All thanks to the Hyper Sub Quadronic Particle manipulation.
Nothing could shatter his joy. Nothing at all. That was until the ship jolted again, and the crystal slipped from his grasp...
