THE ALTERAN COLONY OF DESMORA
CHAPTER 3
The commander stood in the halls of his new capital city, he had thought for a long time on what to name this grand feat of Alteran engineering, after all it had took ten years to build. He had decided to go with the name LIBERTAS which meant freedom in the Alteran language. He marvelled at the ingenuity and craftsmanship of his brothers and sisters. Never had he thought that he would live to see such a magnificent sight. From the west to east pier of his city, was roughly three and a half miles, as well as the north to the south. It had multiphasic shield technology that changes its frequency one thousand times a second, which makes one of the most versatile shields ever devolved. The city has drone weapons which change their frequency, to that of an enemy's shields. The drones are the most skilled piece of weaponry the Alterans had ever developed. It has four Grodin cannons which are connected to one Power module each for extra power, which fires a slurry of energy at an enemy and latches on to their shields and drains them. For the cities primary weapons it has antimatter torpedoes which destroy any type of matter they come in contact with, the commander knew the dangers of antimatter and has vowed only to use it in extreme circumstances.
The city is also home to a star drive so that if they ever need to relocate they can, the city is powered by 5 power modules which means all the cities systems can run at 125 percent efficiency, it also has multiphasic sensors which can scan up to two solar systems away perfect for detecting an enemy's pre-emptive strike.
The commander knew full well that this city was a fortress not a science vessel, his people had always been peaceful but after the atrocities he had seen, through some of the things the ORI had done he felt it was his duty his honour bound commitment to protect his people no matter what.
The commander was sat at his desk going over all the final status reports of his capital city when he suddenly felt a presence in the room with him
"Come out I know your there, I thought the number one rule was not to interfere with the lower plane" said confused as to why the ascended would intentionally break their own rule
"Do not worry I am not of your brethren and I do not follow their rules, I would like to introduce myself my name is Nava, I didn't mean to startle you, your have my most sincere apologies for intruding" she said regrettably
"can I ask how you got past my sensors and guards without being detected, on the other hand u feel Familiar you are one of the ascended are you not" said Remus
"If you mean by ascended you mean on a higher level than you yes, but I sense that you have already been there and back" Nava quite poetically put.
"yes I have ascended and descended, I chose to help my people colonise this galaxy and become great once again, we have fled are homeworld from our sibling who now call themselves the ORI" said the commander while flashes of past battles were going through his mind"
"ahhhh I see so that's what I felt from so far away, you see beings ascend once they reach a certain point in there evolution, but to all beings that have already ascended they can feel when someone from this plain ascends"
"It's actually why im here, im guessing the one I felt was you" said Nava
"Yes when my people ascended, which I have only just found out about. They did it accidentally while looking for a way to prolong are biological lives, I discovered this on my database and tried it myself using a time dilation field"
"it worked I was able to ascend, I talked to the ones who ascended before me, they said I was free to ascend and descend as many times as I wanted, as long as I didn't interfere with the lower plane while I was ascended"
"I see so your race is still very young I remember when my race first as you call it ascended, it was a momentous day, and all my race ended up ascending and descending to rejuvenate ourselves that's why we have now been around for 10 million years."
"Ten million years, my race is very young compared to yours, im sorry, it's not every day you meet a being from another race that predates your own civilisation by eight million years. My race is usually the old one" said the commander while picking his jaw up of the ground
"It's quite alright, how rude of me I haven't even told you the name of my race, I am of the NOX we believe in nature and science and being one with the universe, we detest violence it only brings bad things to one who inflicts it" said Nava
"I quite agree Nava, if only all races thought as you did, but I only use violence as a last resort, I do not agree in bloodshed if we can come to a diplomatic resolution"
"I agree, which reminds me why I was sent here, we the NOX wish to extend our hand of friendship and wish to share knowledge and become allies".
"Your species intrigues me also Nava, you seem humanoid yet you are not entirely human. Maybe as well as trading technology, which might I add will be are medical and general knowledge. I will not be giving you access to weapons or plans of building them" said the commander
" that is a wise decision, for someone so young we will trade with you then we will provide our entire history and ways to upgrade your agricultural growth and show you a few secrets of the universe you have yet not discovered" said Nava
"You have my thanks I must now return to my work as im a very busy man" said the commander
"I will return once I have told the council of elders what we have spoken about"
"Just one quick question I thought ascended beings are all knowing" the commander said jokingly
"The universe is a big place my friend we can't keep an eye on all of it" said Nava with a smile
With that the NOX female disappeared to leave the commander with his work and to tell the nox council of elders what had transpired. Remus continued his work on finalising his plans to build his first power module factory after all he needed them and them where extremely hard to make.
END OF CHAPTER 3
General Information
ALTERAN- a humanoid form the planet Celestis in the Alteran galaxy of Destra, they are much more evolved than humans, they have telekinetic powers which they gain form the Edeva energy. Typically an average IQ for an Alteran is 750 in human terms. They age at the quarter of a standard human and can live for up to 3000 years.
ARK OF TRUTH- a device created by the Alterans, to be used on the ORI people to make them see the truth I basically creates a field around an entire planet and as soon as a command is programmed into it that command becomes the truth, the Alterans abandoned the project due to ethical reasons.
DESTINY- It's an Alteran masterpiece containing all of their knowledge, it has offensive and defensive capabilities and is about 3 miles long, and it serves as commander Remus's flagship.
ORI- they are of the same physiology as the Alterans except they thoroughly believe in religious pursuits rather than scientific which led to the Alterans leaving there galaxy.
POWER MODULE (ZPM-Zero Point Module in human terms) – a power source which takes energy out of subspace.
NOX- a humanoid being which outdates the Alteran civlilastaion by eight million years, they follow more of a nature/scientific pursuit rather than technological they hate violence and would rather reach a diplomatic solution.
