This story is based on the book of Second Foundation of Isaac Asimov, where he narrates an epic of seven books about a galaxy inhabited by humans. Something that always caught my attention, is that there was no alien life in his books, only found in some of his short stories, that's why I decided to unite him with the universe of Warhammer 40K.
What was a simple mission of exploration by men with the authorization of the Mule to find the mysterious Second Foundation, took a turn of one hundred and eighty degrees. It was the first time in the history of the Galaxy it happened.
In the projection room of the cabin of the ship, in a hydrographic map that will leave the living image of the Great Spiral, a purple spot that adorns in one of the arms the attention of the two explorers. It was a spot called the Purple Eye, a galactic phenomenon that may have existed long ago, according to the parents, that phenomenon that arose during the convergence with two nebulae, or through another origin. Right where the image of the Eye was, a strange interference to produce, a kind of light, a sprouting from the Eye, like a glass full of water. Until the whole ship was left in the dark, after an hour, the energy returned.
For Han Pritcher; former member of the First Foundation and the current general, told him something out of the ordinary, as if a bad omen was going to happen, while Bail Channis; a mental agent is disguised by the Second Foundation to infiltrate the forces of the Mule and avoid discovery; A successor; That strange event made him feel dizzy and trembling, but he had to be weak, I needed to concentrate on the mission and not fail; That was all that mattered.
After the brief failure, the ship continued its course through the cold space.
The course of the ship was to go to the supposed planet that should be in the Second Foundation, according to Channis: the planet Tazenda becomes the other end of the Galaxy, the same end and where Hari Seldon replicates in the ancient times of the Empire Galactic
Everything was normal, until, the sound of the cabin caught their attention. While both of you are standing in front of the mirror, you can see the darkness of space and the brightness of the stars that illuminate the spatial blackness. Not far away, you can see some ships flying, after zooming in to appreciate them, you never imagined what they were going to see with their own eyes.
The structures and shapes of the unknown ships were not of human origin. Each of them is, however, some of them are ways of being elongated and other small. they had a large jaw with cannons in their open mouths, each of the mysterious ships had their own cannons exposed.
With the situation we are becoming more and more dangerous. Pritcher told the pilot that he turns around, but before he activated the FTL. A beam of light hit the shields of the ship, the damage it received was deep, but it does not end there. The shots against the enemy ships. With the engines of the ship ready, what refers to speed and speed.
Arriving at Kalgan; The capital of the Union of Worlds. They informed the Mule about the encounter with the unknown ships, they even showed them the images taken. That news made him very disoriented and stressed; For the first time in his life, since he had left Gaia, and begun to form his own Galactic Empire, he had never felt fatigued, faced great obstacles to realize his dream, even bombed the planet Terminus, headquarters of the First Foundation and annexed it to its domain. But this should not have happened, the only thing was to find the Second Foundation, not to meet another threat.
He could not get angry, he knew that very well; he always knew that something had happened, as if a wave had swept all over the earth and had left moist earth, but this went further. The Mule could feel, through its mental powers, a great alteration in the Universe, could feel a kind of negative energy throughout the Galaxy. Every time he tries to expand his mind throughout the Galaxy, the sounds of the voices began to grow, became higher and deeper, until they were replaced by cries of fury and madness.
For the first time in his life, he never felt so scared. I was afraid for his life. He feared that his great ambition would begin to collapse, an ambition he had planned, now, he did not have to face the worst, and he was.
After the abasement, numerous reports of planets being sacked and fleets destroyed arrived as rain, each and every one said the same; the invasion of non-human forces began to spread chaos in the Galaxy. The images sent by the soldiers on the planets invaded by the assailants dismayed him; they were stout and huge, with green skins and square jaws where yellow teeth with knife-ends emerged. In addition to appearances, there were some little ones, like children. Another thing about the creatures, is that they carried huge weapons like atomic rifles and rocket launchers, but the most overwhelming were the battleships. In the videos shown, they were seen as the powerful weapons that fired from the battleships destroyed all the Union Fleet, until in an image it was captured as a battleship of the creatures shot through the huge jaws with machine-gun forms to all a unit of ten ships.
They also showed other images of how the creatures destroyed with their weapons.
With the situation of their domains submerging in decadence. The Mule departed from Kalgan, and, with a large number of fleets from all the planets of the Union, they launched into an uncertain war.
It was one of the greatest wars that had been seen in the entire Galaxy, cataloging it as one of the most bloodthirsty in human history. Many ships fell, while others resisted the attacks of the creatures. The Mule was weakened in the fights, even using all his mental forces to stop the creatures was in vain, trying to control them was a challenge, above all, had to fight against one of them who had an extraordinary psychic strength that surpassed him, said fight , he left it fateful. Something he knew, was that the war was not going to end.
After spending around five years of war that mankind has faced, peace came again, they succeeded in expelling the creatures, but at a very high cost; destroyed ships, fleets decimated, worlds plundered, and populations exterminated or kidnapped. Everything that the Mule had created, ended in ashes. The resources used in the confrontations were becoming scarce and the populations were panicking. Now, everything was over, the only thing was to rebuild what was left of the worlds.
As for the Mule, fatigue and stress had taken him to the edge of his health, falling into a sick state. I rarely dreamed of rivers of blood running across the seas of the planets, corpses of dismembered people, demon-like figures reciting incompressible words for human logic. All assignments of the Mule with the therapists and psychologists were recorded and stored for future studies.
One year ago, the Mule had died in his bed, the cause of death was diagnosed by the high tension stress that caused his death.
With the death of the Mule. The Galaxy returned to normal; the Union of Worlds restored order, the Foundation regained its status, and the other planets began to rebuild their governments. For the rest of humanity in the Galaxy, it was a blow to them. New battleships and weapons were created to be prepared for a possible invasion.
Meanwhile, in a solar system formerly known to man. at the base of the Moon, the android R Daneel Olivaw witnessed how the creatures destroyed and massacred everything that stood in his way. As an android created by doctors Roj Nemennuh Sarton and Han Fastolfe on the space planet Aurora, it was built to maintain the safety of humans, but this went beyond the line, was sent to several covert androids in the human fleets to stop the creatures, they made it, but these beings, these "Orks" were stronger and more resistant, now that I finish everything, it was not something that Daneel would call "victory"
He knew perfectly well that it was only the beginning of a dark nightmare.
So far the introductory chapter of the Orks ends, then I take the next chapter, a greeting.
