"Because they've destroyed worlds a lot stronger than Tatakai."
-
"Yeah well they haven't see Takatai."
-
"No, they've seen much worse." He doubles over, coughing blood.
-
"We need to get you out of here. We have a med Bay on board our ship."
-
"Y-yeah. Just let me grab a few things..." He turns to a busted consul and hits a few buttons. "Serenity, download into your card. Authorization number A-1790-1066." "Command recieved." Comes a new voice. Seconds later a card ejects into his waiting hand. "Alright, let's go."
-
"What the hell is that? '
-
A new, female voice pipes up from a speaker on the man's armor. "I am UCE AI SRT-0401-21, Serenity. It's a pleasure to meet you."
-
"AI I'm assuming?"
-
"That's what I just said, yes." Replies Serenity. The Commander doubles over, coughing. "W-we need to warn the fleets... About what's coming."
-
"We have long distance communications if you need any."
-
"That should work..." "Commander, I must insist that you seek medical attention."
-
"Yeah yeah. Let's get out of here." [b]The dojo troop pulled out a mask, handing it to the captain [/b]
-
The Commander pulls it on, sealing the hood of his uniform over it and following.
-
[b]The troops lead him back to the gunship, and take off towards the ship. Once abroad, they rushed him to the med Bay. The doctors doing what they could [/b]
-
His injuries include a puntured lung, broken ribs, and extensive bleeding inside and out.
-
[b]The doctors did what they could, giving him an IV that filtered blood into his veins [/b]
-
In the meantime, Serenity demands to speak to whomever is in charge.
-
[b]Nathaniel entered the medical area, speaking to Serenity [/b] "Good day."
-
"I wouldn't call it good, but hello. I'm assuming you want to know why my ship showed up outside your planet?"
-
"I have a theory. You were probably either coming here when you were attacked, or you were headed somewhere else and ended up here."
-
"We were on our way here with the ninth fleet. We were ambushed going into jump and several ships were corrupted."
-
"Okay... What else can you tell me?"
-
"Well, we come from another timeline where multiple universes have been essentially eaten by what we call the Corruption."
-
"The corruption? What exactly is that?"
-
"I'm not completely sure myself, but it appears to be an energy source. It can control and evolve species into whatever it wants them to be. And it's hungry."
