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."
-
"You should speak to Royal... He would know more about this."
-
"I doubt it. You need to call a full evacuation of Tatakai. The Corruption is already en route."
-
"Than we will combat it here my friend. We are more than capable."
-
"Unless the dojo defenses have drastically incresed over the past forty eight hours, I highly doubt that. We. Must. Run.'
-
"Than you may. We'll provide you with a ship to get out of here."
-
The AI's hologram appears, it's the image of a young girl in a military uniform. "As of Dust protocol section seven subsection three, I am not allowed to leave. Also, we need to destroy the wreckage of my ship."
