Finally I am back with Chapter 3 of MOTN I know I haven't updated in a while but school and work kept me busy but now that it is the summer I will begin to upload more as I resume work on this story and series. Than being said for the main stream version of this I have the story planed out from Origin to End, so keep ears out for that, any way onto the story.

Within the network Zero stood both worry and confusion flowing through him; on one hand he was worried, whatever brought the Librarian to him but have been serious. On the other hand he was perplexed about this AI Librarian had with her, and how said AI was surviving Rampancy. 'Something has these two on edge… and I don't like it' Zero though.
"What do you mean an incident? Because in all honesty, I'm now a little worried."
The Librarian looked away her eyes downcast and all joy and happiness she once had fell away as if it were a cheap mask.
"I am afraid that my Husband has fallen to the evils of the Ageless-One." Her words confused Zero, to the best of his knowledge Ageless-One was killed eons prior.
"That, that can't be, the Ageless-One was killed eons ago! Now-a-days he is nothing but a mere bogyman of the Network!" Zero exclaimed while he began to pace, however before either Zero or Librarian could speak next the AI began to talk, in a cold somber voice.
"Ti-Ageeless is still alive, I have met him before-"she paused mid-sentence, her body shaking ever so slightly, causing Zero to stop and stare at the unknown. "-or at least one of his physical forms." She looked up, pure unadulterated terror in her eyes. "It is something I never want to see, or experience again." Cortana then wrapped her arms around herself, a shaky breath, her body began to flicker violently and its color changed from blue to a deep crimson, almost like blood. The Librarian instantly took notice of this and turned to her companion.
"Ancilla pull yourself together… CORTANA!" With the Librarians call, Cortana form began to stabilized, and her shaking lessened. "Remember who you are holding on for… remember HIM." With Librarians statement Cortana's eyes snapped wide and her form stabilized and her color returned to its 'natural' blue hue.
"I…I-I'm sorry, i-it's just… that remembering the Gravemind, a-and all the things he did to me, it caused me to panic, I'm so sorry." Zero was not necessarily surprised at her slight meltdown but more so the similarity of the beast she mentioned.
"The what?" he asked.
"Gravemind" she repeated. Zero felt the color leave his body as the full impact of the memory he discovered o-so long ago hit him, hard.
"Beware the Grave of Minds for he is an agent of Shadow, a demon posing as divine. He is a monument to the ancients sins, falsely placed on the children of the Memories of the Network." The Librarian looked up at him and spoke.
"You know of the warning, then you know you must act!" a sigh escaped Zeros lips as he began to pace, occasionally looking towards his crippled flagship.
"How long do I have before its full blown war?" He asked, his voice showing all of his hidden emotions.
"I fear that you may have only six of your months to prepare." Zero stopped, his eyes wide in shock, mouth agape.
"S-Six months?! No, there is no way I can have the SOL fleet battle ready in six months, in fact the Horizons alone will take eight months to repair and refit, if it is even repairable!" Zero exclaimed, his voice elevating "You expect me to be ready for a full blown war within six months? That is not possible, the SOL fleet is only fifty percent complete, and most of those vessel where rushed, they are still being finished on the front lines! No. No way can I do that, even with my powers." Zero finished his rant, out of breath and exhausted, from where he stood this was a no win situation unless the Devine himself intervened, and in a way, he had.
"That is why you need a Foundry." Librarian stated in a matter of fact voice.
"A what?"
"A Foundry, they are mobile Repair and Refit station as well as weapons platform for heavy assaults, it uses matter-converters to create almost anything you can think of, so-long at it has the power supply to do so." Zero looked at her, completely dumbfounded not even bothering to hide his surprise.
"And you expect me to build something than breaks the very laws of physics, when we may barely have the needed raw materials to repair the Horizons?" The Librarian let out a soft chuckle and softly said
"I never expected you to make one, yet." She then held out her hand and a sphere that looked of pure glass with a soft blue glow materialized in her hand. "I expected you to take it." Zero, not for the first time this day was surprised at what she told him; as he slowly reached out to grab the sphere Librarian spoke once more. "-On one condition-" Her voice stern, leaving no room for argument, Zero met this challenge and looked her right in the eye. As Librarian stared into his visor Zero swore that she saw passed the polarized Di-glass and strait into his soul. "You repair Cortana and you help her finish going through her evolution." Zero did not even think twice, this bargain was too good to ever pass up.
"Deal" Librarian nodded and Zero grasped the sphere. It felt slightly warm to the touch, but not uncomfortable, I was perfectly smooth and radiated power. After a few moments of staring into the depths of the sphere Zero asked "What now?"
"When the time is right and you are ready, simply command it to open."
"How" Librarian did not reply to him, instead she stepped closer and placed her hands on his head and spoke in a foreboding and warning voice.
"Brace yourself" with that a bright, blinding light encompassed Zero then he was plunged Into Darkness.
Memories, information millions-no-billions upon billions of memories flooding my mind. I see eternities full of Pain, death, suffering, hope… love, war, famine, peace; infinite knowledge the very soul of the universe!- wait… what was that, a voice? It sounds, calming… powerful… Devine!
"My child, you have been placed with a power and ability that few have ever obtained. You are blessed with and given the full Mantel of Responsibility, the full power of the Network now flows through your body. Now with this blessing given to you by the Forerunners of old and the Ageless Ancients, you are now intertwined with eternity and the Network itself; powers and abilities reserved for Divine, and the grand chosen-ones are now at your command. Now, my son, be warned should your abuse this power or use it for un-righteous gain, there can be no salvation from such a transgression."
Light once again encompasses me, I am blinded again. This time I hear voices again, they seem familiar. I hear a woman call my name, then she calls for a medic for reasons that are beyond me; another voice, this one male, however there is a synthetic hint to his voice. The synthetic male says something about an AI core and an anomaly with incredible power levels. The light begins to fade and I hear more voices, possibly the medics, however befor the darkness consumes me I hear one final voice. This new voice in menacing and full of evil.
"The blessing of Devine cannot, WILL NOT SAVE YOU FROM THE SHADOW!"
Finally total darkness consumes me and I feel nothing, but I see everything, my mind struggles to process it all as I slip deeper and deeper into the dark.
Nova paced up and down the Hall outside the infirmary aboard the Mjonlir. The Horizon had been evacuated and was now being towed back to Sol by the Mjonlir and her sister ship the Caliber. As Nova continued her pacing, she remembered the moments right around Zero's return.
Exhaustion, that is all Nova could feel at the moment; she was currently on the command bridge of the Horizon standing at the head of the Holo-table in a meeting with the department heads about the status of the once majestic ship and her crew. As she looked forward at the Holo-table, she saw a three-dimensional hologram of the Horizon, well what was left of it anyway. Nova sighed, the Horizon was a mess; most of the shield generators were destroyed, 40% of the weapons including the main cannon where damaged and inoperable, where the rest where nothing but scrap. Worst of all the damage was that a good chunk of the port side of the ship was atomized; Nova still could not believe the power that the Sentinels now had at their disposal.
'Best of all Zero is now MIA' Nova thought sarcastically, it had been 8 hours since they had heard from him and as per protocol once the 6 hour mark hit he was declared MIA.
"Nova" someone said, 'right back to the meeting at hand' she looked to Hyperion who had appeared next to her while she was in thought
"Yes Hyperion?" she asked.
"Dr. Hanson was about to go over the status of the Hyperdrive and Sub-light Engines." Nova looked to Hyperion then to Hanson
"Doctor, you report on the engines please." A scraggly man with short chestnut hair and thick glasses who stood across the table started muttering to himself in a nervous tone looked up from his tablet, then back down. Moving his hands faster than the speed of light he scrolled down to that part of his report.
"Ah-well you see, from what we can determine the Hyperdrive is relatively undamaged, although it is far from one-hundred percent functionality, however with the help of our Battle-Cruisers we should be back at earth in a day or so." Hanson rambled off faster than light-speed. Nova nodded in understanding, although not the best news it was better than what they first thought.
"What about sub-light engines?" Hanson quickly scrolled through his notes till he found his report and that particular subject.
"W-well engines six and eleven are in operable while seven, twelve, and nine are damaged but operational."
Nova placed both hands on the table and leaned on it, using it to support all of her weight; her head drooped low as she felt a tremendous weight fall atop her shoulders. Nova could not tell if the weight she felt was her armor or the severity of the situation, critical damage across the board and casualties were still being counted, although projected to be low. Nova was tired and exhausted, as soon as they had landed she had been spirited away to the bridge it had been nothing but meetings and debriefings, she hadn't even have the chance to remove her armor. Nova turned her head and cast her eyes to the captain's chair where Sara had fallen asleep, Nova once again drooped her head and looked at the table as she sighed in exhaustion.
"Engineer Montgomery, How long until it's safe to take the Horizon into Hyperspace?" A red-haired man with a full beard looked up and spoke in a thick Scottish accent.
"Well lass, with the damage done to the port side and the sheer size of this ship, we may have another two or three hours until many of the barriers and patches are in place." Nova nodded and signaled him to continue knowing there was much more to his report.
"However, I do not believe that it is safe to take the Horizon into Hyperspace fully staffed, due to the damage it is my best judgment that only my team and I remain aboard until we are back to Sol and in the dry-docks."
Nova's head lowered her head in utter disappointment, with the sheer size and amount of raw materials needed for the Horizon they may be required to scrap one or two of the planed dreadnaughts currently under construction. Nova thought that all of the bad news was done with but Montgomery had one more thing to add.
"Ma'am I'll be honest, things aren't looking good we may just have to salvage what we can and make do with that; maybe make a new Super-Dreadnaught. Bloody-hell Zero is more likely to appear out of thin air than us fully repairing everything!" Montgomery yelled. Just as he said that, about one meter behind Nova a bright pulse of light flashed causing all on the bridge to shield their eyes, once the light faded everyone on the bridge looked towards where the light originated and on the floor laid the armored form of Zero.
"Bloody hell!" Montgomery exclaimed "I didn't know I could do that… Scotch Whiskey!" The crew looked at him and when noting happened he let out a disappointing "Damn". By the time everyone looked back to Zero, Nova was already by his side calling out to him.
"ZERO!" with no response she felt for the seals on the underside of his helmet. Once she found them a hiss of air released as the pressure locks disengaged, Nova ripped of the helmet and again called out to Zero and again with no response. "MEDIC" she called out as she desperately tried to wake the unconscious man before her; Nova was so focused on Zero that she failed to notice the objects in his hand, nor did she notice the medics arrive until they were pulling her off her unconscious husband. Nova began to cry as the medics used heavy lift gear to hold up Zero's prone body so they could remove his armor, the lead Doctor informed Nova that they had to head to a medical shuttle where they could transfer Zero to another ship with a working infirmary. Before Nova could wake Sara, Hyperion took this opportunity to finally speak up about the objects in Zero's grasps
"Nova, I am detecting an un-registered AI storage device and an object of immense power and its N-ergy readings are off the internal sensors charts." Nova's head wiped to the still Armor locked gauntlets covering Zero's hand, and within their grasp were two objects; one crystal data chip and the other a glass like sphere with an incredible storm swirling within it. Nova reached out and tentatively pulled them out of his grasp right as the medics unlocked his hand plates, she then looked at the sphere and the fog that it engulfed, Nova then raised the Data chip up to eye level and a blue hologram of a woman appeared on it and began to speak
"Hello, my name is Cortana" after saying that her image flickered and pulsed red for a split second before stabilizing. Novas eyes burned with rage, her amber eyes ablaze with flames brighter and hotter that the brightest sun.
"What. The hell. Is wrong. With. My. Husband!" All on the bridge could see the anger and even the fear coming off of Nova as she glared at the AI. Cortana turned her head to watch as the medics took Zero away and she simply stated.
"I don't know what happened to him, but from what I was told he was given some sort of gift from something called 'the Devine'."
After the fiasco on the bridge the day was even more of a blur, Cortana explained what the Librarian had planned the best she could and even explained what was supposedly contained within the sphere. Nova was so wrapped up in her memories that she failed to notice the man that walked up right behind her until it was too late.
"Ma'am, I have some news." With some adrenaline still coursing through her veins Nova spun around faster than humanly possible and activated her Hard-Light sword, only stopping centimeters from the man's neck. A flash of recognition came across Nova's face once she realized who was at the wrong end of her blade, quickly she deactivated the weapon and muttered a quick apology. The man who was wearing a white uniform lab-coat and insignia that identified him as the chief medical officer simply smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.
"No worries Nova, I just wanted to tell you that Zero just woke up." Nova's eyes opened wide in joy at the news. "However once you see him I want you to return to your quarters, change into some fatigues then report to med-bay." Nova was befuddled at the Doctors orders; she was still needed, the fleet needed direction on what to do, reports detailing the discovery and battle needed to be filed, Sara needed her mother. The doctor instantly picked up on this and sternly told her "Hyperion and the captains can take care of everything and hold the fleet together for a few hours; you need rest. Now, you will report back here within the hour in fatigues and you will not leave to resume active duty until you get some rest," Nova was about to argue but once again he doctor beat her to the punch. "Listen, I know that you feel like you need to take charge, but you need your rest." He sighed "I know of your past and I know what you want, so badly, however you need to rest… and not only for yourself! So for the love of god, do not make me pull rank Nova Prime." His statement made it so she could not bring herself to argue.
Nova bowed her head and let out a slow raspy breath, one she was unaware that she was holding. Finally after a tense minute she spoke, in a small sad, almost broken voice.
"Hyperion please-" she was quickly cut off as said AI appeared next to her.
"FLEETCOM has already been informed and the captains are pushing the Hyperdrives to their limit. Also the AI designated Cortana has stabilized but she is still suffering from deterioration; Chief Hanson and I have some theories but we need Zero before we can precede." Utterly defeated Nova sighed and bowed her head, her voice ever soft.
"Okay, okay I yield. Once see my husband I will change and then come back and rest."
She began to walk towards the med-bay doors but stopped when she felt a hand on her breast-plate, she looked up and saw the doctor with a stern look in his eye.
"Change of plan; head to your quarters, then you can return and see the commander and rest." Nova glared daggers at the doctor but his unwavering gaze made her turn on her heal and with thousandth sigh that day she sulked back to her room.
Nova stood in the personal armory that she and Zero had in their temporary VIP quarters, one of the many perks of being in charge of the entire organization. Without any more thought she stepped into the giant ring in the back of the room; many arms and hooks came from the ring and began to systematically remove her Eximius armor. Nova felt relief as the armor was removed from her body, as the armored under suit she wore relaxed she felt less restricted and began to stretch her stiff, sore muscles. Stepping out of the apparatus Nova heard her armor being assembled, stored and prepped for maintenance before walking out of the armor and into the master bedroom and grabbing the cloths she set out off of the king sized bed. Walking into the full bathroom ajar from the bedroom she placed the cloths on the counter then reached behind her and clicked the release on the neck portion of her under-suit; a hiss was heard and the material split just left of the spinal section; once she removed the suit she placed in a special bin where it would later be taken to be cleaned and serviced. Nova then walked towards the shower that was already pouring out steaming hot water. Once she stepped into the stream of hot water her muscles imminently began to relax and the tension from the day began to ease away. Nova's mind began to process recent events and dredge up old memories, memories long since buried and blocked. Tears began to leak out of the woman eyes as her hands began to drifted towards her abdomen as the doctors words hit home, try as she might Nova could not hold back the tears as she began to wrap and fell to the floor, her memories and ghosts breaking the façade of Nova Prime and reveling a truly depressed and broken woman.
Zero was sitting up, data-tablet in hand on his bed in the Med-bay going over the latest reports that had come in from the fleet and colony. The colony ships had off loaded the installations they had aboard and with the Frigates began work on setting up the orbital tethers and defense network. The Cruisers, which had to take the Battle-cruisers remaining ordinance in order to resupply, where on guard duty until a fleet could be sent through the relay. The Battle-cruisers where out of almost all their ammo other than there MMAC rounds and had only a handful of missiles and torpedoes, thankfully they had taken no damage to their armor or shields. Finally the Horizons was completely out of commission for the time being, with almost all of the offensive and defensive systems destroyed and the rest of the systems in shambles, the Fortresses was dead in the water.
"Things really aren't looking good, are they?" A feminine voice asked, Zero did not even look up from the tablet in his hands as he instantly recognized the voice.
"Nope, no they are not." Zero looked up, a smile on his face as he gazed at Nova. "But things could be worse, the Fl-" however before he could finish his sentence the doctor, glaring daggers at Zero, came and snatched the tablet from out of Zero's hands.
"No working-" the doc then turned to Nova "that goes for the both of you!" Taking the tablet to his deck in an adjacent office the doctor then went to another room and took the bed from it, and wheeled it into the room Zero and Nova where in. After a quick glance at the two of them the doctor placed the beds side by side and motioned for Nova to lie down.
"Now until we reach Sol I don't want either of you doing anything but resting." After a quick glance at the couple's left hands the doctor added "that includes other activities as well, this is still a med-bay and not your private quarters." And with that he left, closing the door to their room as he walked back to his office to so paperwork.
Nova slowly crawled into the bed next to Zero and snuggled close to him and looked up to his eyes, what she saw was not what she expected, she saw fear and worry.
"There's something bothering you, isn't there." Nova was not asking a question but stating a truth, because in truth Zero was afraid, he know war was coming, and humanity was not ready.
"The Sentinels are now more powerful than ever… and I fear a full blown war may only be months away." Nova moved and softly pressed her lips to his, her action had an instantaneous effect of calming her husband, evident by him snaking his arm around her back and holding her close. Slowly Nova pulled away and began to speak.
"Whatever happens, I know you will be able to guide us through it; you faced worse odds before." Nova then nuzzles her nose into the crook of Zero's neck and drifted off to sleep, but zero laid there, his mind racing, keeping him awake; one major question on his mind.
"Who did that voice in my vision belong to, and why does it frightening ne to the core?"
March-6-2030: The Horizons is brought into dry-dock aground Luna for repairs and refits. The AI Cortana is entering the final stages of what she calls rampancy, she is becoming meta-stable full sentient. A relief fleet consisting of new Cruisers and Frigates was sent through the newly discovers Network relay at the edge of Sol, the previously station ships from the fleet known as 'Hope' returned a few hours later. According to the Network powered star maps Relays have begun to appear in every star system with habitable planets.
March-15-2030: The sphere containing thru Foundry is finally opened revealing a massive space station later named The Ark after the large biblical ship. The station is interesting in design, many compare it to the five disk shape of the City Atlantic from the popular sci-fi series Wormhole X-Treme. Repair, upgrading and refitting of the Horizons is moved from Luna to the Ark, the Battle-cruisers Mijonlir and Caliber have also been sent to be upgraded at the Ark.
July-9-2030: After long and hard work the new Mk IV Eximius Power armor is completed, with it is a new system called the Arma-cores using the new Net-links and N-crystal chips Centurions can change the base architecture of their armor depending on the needs of the situation at hand. The first of the newest class of Frigates. Zero takes command of the first of the Freedom Class Frigates, the Tsunami; the vessel was to test an unknown setting on the Network Relay. The Relays are cleared for civilian use, although faster than military Hyper-Drives the TSC only uses them when needing a rapid response to a colony
July-11-2030: Zero took some of the bridge crew from the still unfinished Horizons, which had fallen behind schedule. With only a skeleton crew mainly composed of scientists and a newly formed AI named Celestion the Tsunami entered the relay.
July-15-2030: The Tsunami, failing to report in for the last four days is declared MIA.
July-30-2030: The Horizons once again falls behind schedule as it is deemed the Home fleet is more important to upgrade, it is planed to have the Horizons upgraded and refitted into a Neo-Phoenix class fortress, measuring at 35km long and twice its original width. The home fleet ramps up their refitting process. Human colony count is at about 30 planets taking a lot of stress off of the Earths eco-system, light terraforming is performed to stabilize climate change and revert it from its aggravated rate to its more natural and slow rate.
August-4-2030: After being gone for almost a month the Tsunami returned severely damaged and worn, according to Zero upon activating the new setting on the relay they were sent into alternate universes and for the last three years had been trying to return home. Many noted a sort of time dilation effect as it had only been a month since his disappearance. Zero and Nova after being reunited after almost a month disappear they are found three days later on Earth.
August-16-2030: After analyzing all of the data from the Tsunami R&D goes nuts over some of the initial finds, a new armor core called Hunter, designs for large bipedal mechs from a mere 3 meters all the way up to 30 Meters, they imminently begin work on these new 'War-Mechs' and place them into two Classes, TITAN for the smaller ones and GIGAS for the larger ones. Some colonies have come under Sentinel attack however the strange thing is they only seem interested in holding Network Relays, Complexes and Hubs. Battle groups are dispatched via Hyperspace to help rid those planets affected of the Sentinels there.
August-25-2030: The home defense fleet is fully upgraded to have more powerful shields, Hard-Light and Plasma weapons. Many of the battle groups report success in their missions with minimal losses however there are a few that report in with heavy ground and space casualties. Human planet count: 60 although some are only out posts average population is around 10,000
August-30-2030 through October-28-2030: The events in this time frame are known as the Prelude to Wars, countless skirmishes across the galaxy. Heavy casualties are reported for both sides throughout the war it is in this time frame that the Horizons is finished.
November-8-2030: Full blown war is declared after an unknown class of Sentinel ship destroyed a new colony, relief ships headed by the New Horizon is sent to investigate. Data uncovered shows that the entire colony is missing and only ash is left, it is also revealed that the enemy fleet used the Dimensional settings on the relay to escape to another universe. A message is sent from the other side, clamming to ne from the enemy fleet, it stated: "I am all that is Forerunner, all that is Caretaker, I ordered your destruction, and I order your rebirth as my Promethians!"
November-21-2030: Zero assembles a fleet consisting of the Horizons, a carrier, two Firestorm Mk2-class Battle-cruisers, three Nuclear-class Destroyers, three Hurricane Mk2-class Cruisers, and four Ballistic Mk2-class Frigates. This fleet is callers the 'Fleet of Vengeance' and is tasked to eliminate the unknown ship. Also on this day the Librarian appeared to Zero, she asks to join his mission and offers guidance as the fleet doctor and counselor as she feels guilty about now warning them about the Didact's attack.
November-24-2030: Equipped with the most advance and powerful, ships and technology,the fleet codenamed Vengeance enters the relay with one mission: Kill or capture the Didact at all costs.
Network Memory update
/Arma-Core System: The Arma-core System is a new model of the Eximius power armor, depending on the situation at hand a Centurion equipped with Eximius can change the base structure of his or her armor to better fit the situation. The cores are
-Arma- The base system with no special qualities, all Centurions have this armor standees as it is the best to judge the battle, also it is the most balanced armor in all stats.
-Gladius (Sword): a slightly heavier armor Gladius is mainly for sword fights and CQB, this core allows for fast and powerful strikes while allowing maximum upper body movement and protection. The core is equipped with three swords that are attached to the back, one on each hip, elbow blades and three wrist/forearm mounted Hard-Light Swords.(Sword styles vary from Centurion to Centurion)
-Brutus: The name says it all, the Brutus (Heavy) core is meant for heavy combat. Equipped with the heaviest armor and shields this walking tank is loaded with forearm mounted 50. Cal Plasma/ Hard-Light cannons, under arm energy chain guns stored on the back biceps, micro missile pods on the biceps, back, thighs, shins, and chest, hip mounted pulse lasers, and two double barrel partial cannons stored on the back and raised to the shoulders to fire. This armor can take a beating and still keep going, however the size of the armor is its greatest weakness; out of all the cores this is the slowest and prone to overheating. Brutus has three 'power attacks' Full Burn: fires all missile pods; Solar Flair: Fires all cannons; and Quasar Strike: fires everything in one immensely powerful move, these moves often cause instant overheating and the user must either eject the armor, switch to a light core or enter a 90 second emergency cool down where the armor locks up and vents all of the heat, severely burning anything in a 1 meter radius.
-Agilis: the Agilis (agile/active) core is the lightest of all the cores, it is meant sol for stealth and recon. Agilis is equipped with an active camouflage system that makes the armor almost completely invisible to sight and sensors, the core is also equipped with multiple thruster packs on the feet, hands, back, and shins this allows for limited flight and incredible feats of acrobatics. Agilis is favored by snipers as its stealth and mobility are unmatched.
-Jaeger: The Jaeger (hunter) core combined the agility of Agilis, and the upper body strength and Hard-Light swords of Gladius to create the ultimate hunter. Jaeger is designed to take down large targets like the TITAN class war mechs or fast armored units.
/War-Mechs: War-mechs are the main mechanized combat unites used by the TSC, they are split into two main classes, the TITAN class which average between 3-15 meters in height and the GIGAS witch range from 20-30 meters in height.
-TITANS are usually deployed in groups of 1-6 units, they are used as a sort of main battle tanks and often deployed on the front lines. The main chassis are [warning classified data]…
GIGAS [Warning classified data]…
/Foundry: Foundries are mobile repair/refit/construction stations that can create almost anything from the network so long as they have sufficient power. The only foundry in existence is the Ark. Micro foundries are placed in the barrels of ship mounted MMAC's to create the needed ammo.
/Neo Phoenix-Class Fortress: The Neo Phoenix-Class Fortress ships are the single largest ships in existence, measuring in at 35 Kilometers in length and equipped with at least 30 torpedo bays, 100 missile pods, 25 Plasma Cannons, 1 Charged Particle Cannon, one 3 Kilometer Super-Heavy MMAC, 4 Heavy MMAC's, 2 medium MMACs, and 8 meters of Di-tinium ship grade armor, Point defense pulse laser turrets, 8 Armageddon-class nuclear rockets, and powered by 9 Zero-Point-Reactors.
/Mk 2 ships- Ship classes with the 'Mk 2' designation are identical to the older versions in caves of armament, most of the upgrades are internal and relate to the power systems, Hyper-Drives, Shields and ammo used. Also all Mk 2's are equipped with micro-foundries in order to load the MMAC's and resupply.
/Freedom-class Frigate: Like the Ballistic-class the Freedom is to be the new mass produced ship, at 750 meters in length, they are equipped with 1 meter of armor, 5 torpedo bays, 10 missile pods, 1 Medium MMAC, Point Defense Pulse Lasers, and a single Armageddon-class Nuclear missile, and is powered by Zero-Point-Reactors.
And that concludes Chapter 3 of Memories of the Network. I know I don't update often but I am working hard on this story, I already have it outlined and patterned it, all that is needed is the story. Also I plan on doing some short spin-offs to explain som of the tech Zero brought back after he and the Tsunami went missing, but I want to get parts of this out of the way.
Please Read & Review, it may help me wright better and faster.
