Same Time Vedrans Vengeance
". I call upon you my brothers and sisters let us unite and show the galaxy the true meaning of being a Nietzschean..."
The VDU turned off at Loki's instructions at this point in the transmission; he turned to look at his communications officer
"How did this message get out I thought I told you to block all communications going out of the system?"
"I don't know master I promise it will never happen again," the communications officer pleaded with him
"You are right about that. Guards you know what to do" Loki signalled to the guards that were stationed on the bridge with a wave of his hands towards the now cowering ex-communications officer. The guards moved over swiftly and dragged the screaming officer from the bridge, his screams could be heard for a little while longer before those on the bridge could hear a pulse pistol blast followed by silence. Dylan watched all this with the ships internal sensors and it just strengthened his resolve to fight his programming and try to put an end to this monstrous person. He was so lost in his thoughts that he almost forgot to respond to Loki's query of the weapons status
"Weapons at 80 percent full it will require 2 hours to replace all of the spent ammunition."
"Excellent now set course..." Loki didn't complete the sentence as his eyes took on a far away look almost like he was holding a conversation with someone far away. At the same time Dylan detected an increase in particle wave transmissions directed at the bridge. Before he had time to properly analyse the readings they had gone and Loki had turned back to him "Change of plans people I will map out a slip route and I want you to get us to the destination as soon as possible. Ship keep an eye out for anymore transmissions of any type directed towards us, I am expecting a call"
"Yes Master" the bridge crew responded
"Yes Sir" Dylan responded while watching the co-ordinates that Loki had input. After the input was complete he noticed that they looked familiar but couldn't quite remember where he had seen them before.
"Very good carry on." Loki said before turning and leaving the bridge.
Three Days Later
They had been travelling for almost three days with no sign of any other ship friend or foe. And all the planets they had come in scanning range of appeared barren and lifeless. Not seeing anything out of the ordinary Dylan allowed himself some time to think back over the events of the past few days. Just after setting out on this little tour Dylan had received an encrypted message directed for Loki's eyes only, of course him being the ship was able to watch as the message was played and what he witnessed disturbed him greatly
Flashback
"Master you have an incoming transmission labelled extremely important and for your eyes only" AI Dylan reported directly to Loki's quarters
"Good put it through here and engage Privacy mode" Loki commanded as he moved over to the VDU to watch the message
"Yes Sir" Dylan replied, "The message is on your console Privacy Mode engaged" with the click of sound signifying that the speaker had been turned off. Although that was not the case as Dylan was still watching and listening to everything happening in the room.
"Master it appears that I am not the only person here with an ulterior motive. Someone here received the message the Nietzschean Fleet Marshall sent. The only reason I know about it is because the Andromeda Ascendant intercepted it as it was being re-transmitted, then brought it to the attention of the Triumvere's office and the War Council. I am awaiting further instructions as how to proceed. Hel Out"
Dylan watched as Loki sat lost in thought pondering what his next move should be. When Dylan heard it, it sent a shiver down his spine
"Hel get orders for the Andromeda to look for the spy from the Nietzscheans and when they find them get the Andromeda to lead a task force to the location of the remaining fleet. But also let me know the co-ordinates for the fleet and we will send them a little surprise that way we can kill two birds with one stone. Loki Out"
End Flashback
All of a sudden his instruments went haywire and he detected multiple vessels just reaching long range scanning range. Dylan was about to power up weapons and countermeasures when Loki walked onto the bridge
"Don't worry ship we are expected," he said
"Yes sir" Dylan replied waiting for the vessel to come closer so he could get a proper reading of them and when they did he wished that he didn't. The vessels coming towards them that they were meeting were Magog Swarm Ships.
