chapter 2- the awakening

"10000CE?" Dux asked Jacob.
"Yes, Now what is your name?" Jacob replied.
"How do I know you are not an ERA member?" Dux asked
"ERA? I thought they were all wiped out During the grand civil war of 9783CE?" Jacob replied.
Dux thought of the predicament he was in at the moment, he was in an unknown ship, in an unknown location, and in a year beyond his time. He thought over his next action.
"My name is Dux" He said
"Dux? The Dux, The one that we based are values on and then disappeared at Trellum, Everybody was killed in that, except you I guess. We found you floating around Cetus. It was on an asteroid to be exact. Now, I know why there was a lot of quad material, It was inside of Trellum."
"Look," Dux said" the only thing I remember is a white light than I woke up in here, can you please tell me what has happened so far?"
Jacob repiled "Well a lot things have happened since you disappeared, The ERA fell When its members were told of the things there higher-ups committed, Than a couple of Planets tried to Bring back the crudity that SIR brought, But fell when its leaders became corrupt. Than a couple of years ago Trellum was destroyed when Black Reclaw set off a Quad bomb, and that's pretty much what has happened."
"Now what's going to happen? Why am I here?" Dux asked.
" well it looks like you were incased in Quad material which persevered you." Jacob said.
"any idea for what i should do now?" Dux asked
" Well you can always start at the bottom, There acouple of old ships in The stardock at cetus." Jacob said.
"Well, what kind of ships are they?" Dux asked.
"Old Warships, the ships have names, one say's BS Galactica and another says Hanging Glory, The ships belong to Cpt. Kendan Tarr and Cpt. Runt. There are also a few Cryogenic pods on board both of them with things in them, I suggest take a look."
" Did you just say "BS Galactica" and the "Hanging glory"?" Dux asked Jacob
"Yes" replied Jacob
"How much for both?" asked Dux
"Normally 1 billion, But because you were just found in space, 500Million" jacob replied.
" any idea where I can get a loan?" dux asked
"well you can always join a faction that is currntly looking for recruits, If they found out who you are they'll give you a loan as soon as you walk in the door, and you can always just ask a government for one." Jacob replied.
"Any idea what faction is currently looking for members?" Dux asked.
"The Roid mining guild is looking; maybe you should go check them out," Said Jacob.
"Ok, I'll go there, Just one more question. What happened to captain Kendan Tarr? Last time I checked he was in hiding," asked Dux.
" after you disapeared, Kendan tarr was waging a losing war with the ERA, Acouple of days before the Civil war, The ERA found kendan tarr hide-out from a informat. He was killed shortly after." Jacob said.
"Ok, that explains a lot, Thank you, Bye."
Dux Ran to his new ship, a light miner. It was a piece of C RAP. He got into the ship and there was his faithful crew that he have forced of the ship all those years ago.
"How did you guys get here? I thought you were all dead." Dux exclaimed with joy.
"We survived because of Cryogenics and the help of Kendan Tarr. So are we leaving or what, we still have your old bank account and it's building up interest, some 10billion Credits and 10000 Points. You could start a new faction with that," Said his right hand man.
" Since I have that kind of money, Can you guys tell me what kind of ship that we should buy?" Dux asked his right- hand man. "well you could always get a ancient Command ship." said his right-hand man. "I got a better idea" Dux said "Computer send a communications link to Jacob of the" phantom" Dux told his computer.
"Dux what is it?" Jacob said.
"Are you still selling those ships?" Dux replied.
"Yes, just give us $500,000,000 and 600 points," Jacob said.
"Everything is on the way, nice doing business with you."
"My Pleasure. One thing, Check the hidden hold of the hanging glory, It has a cryotube with a living being."
"Ok, I will," Said Dux.
