The Kiu Suok

The Bridge

Sitting in his command chair onboard the Kiu Suok, Dae Nak watched as the human vessel suddenly leapt into hyperspace. Yes, these humans were very resourceful indeed. It was perhaps best not to underestimate their resolve. He sat in silence for a few more moments, motionless, when he heard Sor Jakk's voice in his head.

"Dae Nak," Sor Jakk said in their native tongue. Although Dae Nak was not technically Sor Jakk's servant, Sor Jakk was in charge of their expedition in this universe, so Dae Nak was required to bow to his wishes.

"Sor Jakk," responded Dae Nak. "The human vessel has entered hyperspace, just as planned."

Sor Jakk was silent for a moment. "Yes, I am aware."

"Was it so wise to allow the humans to leave?" Dae Nak questioned. "Granted, they are not the Ancients, but they are quite capable. They could become a very great threat."

"I have already considered the possibility, Dae Nak," replied Sor Jakk. "However, there is little these humans alone can do to stop our great journey. I already have the necessary information. Soon, Dae Nak, our one ruler will rise and lead us to our predestined glory."

"For the glory of the Be'nox," said Dae Nak. He felt the presence of Sor Jakk fade away, and he sat back in his chair, wondering exactly when that glory would arrive.
