The Origin System

"Interesting... Very Interesting." Alad said as he reclined back into his seat.

It had been a few days ago since he had been trying to find new sources of revenue. Although he still owned a giant portion of the gas factories on Jupiter, he was still the laughing stock of the corpus boards after his recent downfall.

Alad shuddered in discomfort, he could still see the purple glowing scar on his neck. To add insult to injury, After the whole infestation thing, Stalker had hired acolytes to hunt him down. Something which he needed to request the Tenno to help him with.

His second newly made Zanuka Hunter prototype rested and groaned next to him.

"Quiet Zanuka! Your master is in deep concentration..."

The object in question was a image, a strangely shaped Orokin Derelict that had been found by rangers recently.

It was a miracle that neither Grineer nor Tenno had found it yet, otherwise it would be swarming with them.

"CEO, we have almost arrived to destination." A Crewman said before looking back at his console.

"Perfect, get the proxy's ready. If there is any sign of..." Alad shuddered at the word "Infested... Then we won't risk too much revenue in the process."

Alad continued thinking for a moment, "Oh I almost forgot, bring The Sergeant to bridge."

Alad V waited for a moment before the door behind him opened, revealing a black suited, red visored, crewman wielding a Lanka.

"You requested me CEO?" The Bigger Corpus said.

"Ah yes, sit down for a second." The Sergeant merely leaned against one of the pillars of the flagship.

Alad V merely rolled his eyes in annoyance before showing the image. "This, right here. Is the Reason why I hired you."

"Another Orokin Derelict? I went into hundreds of those things if that is what your asking." The Sergeant said.

Alad V smiled crudely, "Oh Sergeant, do not be so daft. You can tell that this is no ordinary Derelict. This is a void gate." The Sergeant recoiled at those words.

"By the Profit... Your telling me that before our great empire fell. The Higher Classes built such a thing?" The Sergeant asked.

"Not themselves of course, they probably had those lower class Grineer dogs build it for them. Sadly now all they build is war nowadays."

The Sergeant took another look at the image again. "So what exactly are you planning to do with this derelict?"

Alad's smile grew even wider. "You'll find out within a second."

Later

"Profits, I just hope the amount of Platinum I'm getting is worth it." The Sergeant said as he prepared his ranger gear and nullifier.

"Shut it, If this works. Then the amount of profit we will generate will sky rocket." Alad said with annoyance.

The Sergeant merely grunted before jumping walking into the airlock. He was joined by a bunch of other rangers, a few wielding Dera's, Quanta's, and Penta's.

The Sergeant looked at the others as they checked there equipment, they all gave a nod to signify they were ready. Pressing a button, the Airlock door opened as the Rangers slowly floated into the midst of space.

"Good, now approach the Derelict. And remember to activate the nullifier first before placing the key, I wouldn't want my biggest asset to become a brainwashed fool now would I?" Alad said.

The Rangers slowly approached the Gigantic Derelict until they were only a few feet away.

"Perfect, now find an external panel where you can insert the void key I have given you Sergeant." Alad said.

The Sergeant merely grumbled with annoyance before boosting upwards, not as fast as a state of the art Tenno archwing, but fast enough. The search for the panel didn't last too long, as one of the Penta Rangers spotted one, quickly calling it out to the rest.

"Is this it?" The Sergeant asked.

There was a pause for a moment, "Yes, Yes, Perfect! You've already found it. Now just place the void key inside the slot so we can begin."

The Sergeant nodded before signifying one of the rangers to bring out the key. A Ranger wielding a Dera quickly reached into his pack before bringing out the finely designed Orokin key.

"Nullifier Activated, group up on me everyone." The Sergeant said before taking the void key.

"Okay, Placing key in three, two, one."

"Zero."

Within seconds the space around them turned incredibly bright.

In a Galaxy, Far, Far away.

"S-Ser-ge- Ca- ou -ar me?"

"Sergeant Can you hear me?"

The Sergeant quickly came back up to his senses before straightening himself, his internal compass was completely off and he did not know which way was up or down.

It seemed as if he wasn't the only one who had been knocked out, many other Crewmen were still straightening themselves out or otherwise just laying dormant.

"Sergeant Can you hear me!?" Alad said through the messenger.

The Sergeant merely activated his comm link. "Loud and clear over."

Alad merely grunted with annoyance on the other end. "You took your time to respond." The Sergeant merely took the offense. "Regardless, are you in the void? You and your team disappeared without a trace."

The Sergeant looked around before turning around, He gaped at the sight of the giant portal.

"Uh CEO, Are you seeing this?" The Sergeant asked.

"Of course, I'm not blind. The void portal appeared as soon as you placed the key. By the profit, We could fit a whole fleet through it at once and still have enough room for more ships. Now about your surroundings." Alad asked, clearly running out of patience.

"Yes of course, Were still in space but..."

"But what?"

"We aren't in the Origin System anymore, none of these star patterns are even remotely familiar." The Sergeant said.

"Are you saying that..."

"It could be a possibility."

"Fine. Captain, get us on route toward the portal... Don't question! Just do as your told!" Alad said as he argued in the background.

Within a few moments, the bow of the Corpus battleship appeared before the middle and then the rest of it.

"Huh, I suppose you were correct Sergeant. Well done." Alad said

"Does this mean I get a raise?"

"I will be the decider of that, just do your job for now and get back on the ship. I will be scanning the space around us."

The Sergeant let out a little huff of anger before beckoning his men as they jetted back to the ship.

Separatist Meeting

"It's no use! Everyday the Republic gains more and more ground against us! How are we supposed to stand against a clone army!?"

"Separatists... I can assure you that-" Dooku was cut off much to his annoyance.

"Assure what? That the drones we have are enough? Yes they are large in number, but they are sluggish awful at combat." A neimoidian said.

Dooku merely gave a glare, "So if you are all against it, then what do any of you suggest? That we lay down arms against the republic? Things will go back to the way it was, Excessive Taxation and Corruption."

"Don't change the subject, We still have not recovered in cost after your so called "General" Lost the Malevolence." Another Neimoidian said.

General Grievious growled in anger and was about to teach the Councillor a lesson before Dooku raised a hand in front of him. Grievous looked at Dooku before huffing in anger.

"Do not talk of that! It was merely a setback." Grievious said.

The Neimodian face scrunched up. "A Setback? A Setback!? That Ship costed us Tril-"

A battledroid walked up to Dooku.

"Uh Sir, there's a ship that has popped up on the scanner." The Droid said.

"Is it a republic ship?" Nute Gunray asked in Fear.

"Um, that's a negative sir." The Drone said as it looked back at the scanner.

Nute Gunray recomposed himself in front of everyone. "Well? Get our own ships to shoot it down."

"Roger Roger, All ship prepare to-"

"Wait you fools!" Dooku said in utter annoyance. "If it is not republic then there is no reason for us to fight it." Dooku said.

"Oh... Wow that actually makes sense." The Drone said as Dooku gritted his teeth, the Councillors were definitely right about the droids being sluggish.

"Well then get it to leave, it's too close to our hiding-" Nute said before being cut off.

"Uh, Sir ya might wanna see this." The Drone said before all of the separatists immediately rose off there table to look at the image.

The ship they were looking at clearly didn't match any form of starship, It looked strange as well. Almost shaped like a gun but with a giant Boxy like front. Blue lights seem to be emanating from various windows and openings of the ship.

"What. Is that?" San Hill asked.

No creature said anything, However Dooku looked at the ship before his eyes narrowed. This day just got more interesting.

Alad V

"Huh, How... Interesting." Alad V said as he looked at the planet below. Apparently it showed signs of Civilization as he spied ships leaving the atmosphere as they headed right for his own.

"First it was the void gate, now their is the possibility of first contact. A contact I can exploit." Alad thought out loud. "Helmsman, get us into contact with them."

Within seconds a video link opened up in one of the floating holographic panels to the face of a bunch of surprised Alien looking creatures, but interestingly enough, an Aged Human stood with them as well.

"Greetings I am Alad V of the Corpus board. I am hoping we can do... Business together."

Alad was greated with a pleasent surprise as the Eldar Human spoke in Orokin Noble which eliminated the need for translation.

"State your 'Business' and begone." The gray bearded one said in a annoyed tone.

Alad merely smiled in a sinister fashion, "Oh I see, I suppose now is not the best time." Alad said before continuing, "But, I can absolutely assure you that by the end of the day I can grab your interest."

The bearded one seemed to be deep in though before he gave his answer. "Very well, who are you and what do you want?"

"Who are we? We are the Corpus, The Middle class of the once mighty Orokin Empire." Alad said.

Dooku merely frowned. "Orokin? Never heard of them." Dooku said to which Alad's face merely scrunched with annoyance. Perhaps this will be harder than he thought.

"How can you not know of the Orokin? There empire and mastery of the void was superior in all cases." Alad said in annoyance.

Dooku's face glared "Like I have said, Never heard of them."

"Huh, the Sergeant truly was correct, we have traveled to a entirely different Galaxy." Alad thought to himself. "Hmph, fair enough. I suppose that conversation will be for another time. Besides, we are looking for more sources of income and revenue." Alad said.

"You won't find any Business here, begone." Dooku said

Right before the Count shut down the link, Alad added in a new line.

"Ah, what a shame. I suppose we will have to find war profiteering else ware." Alad said to which the Count froze.

"War? What do you know of war?" Dooku asked accusingly.

Alad smiled, he had him right where he wanted him. "Oh nothing, except we can offer the most high grade men, equipment, and robotics in case you found yourself in one." The CEO said as a matter of fact.

"Go on." Dooku said, Asajj Ventress snarled.

"Master, You can't possibly listen to this buffoon." The Sith warrior said. Alad cringed at the insult but otherwise held his tongue.

"Asajj." Dooku said as he glared at her, making the Assasin back down.

Alad, satisfied continued on. "You see, the Corpus are no strangers to war. I can provide so much in so little time if you wish."

Dooku pondered for a moment. "Give me the details." the count said.

Alad grinned, "Very well, meet me on my ship." Alad said Before cutting the Transmission.
