FEAR OF THE VOID

…
In the dark and empty depths of space, where the stars create a large mandala of beautiful bright dots of different colors, surrounded by constellations and colors that would amaze anyone.
Brilliant a beautiful silvery-white, the star in this system illuminated the surrounding planets in a perfect 360-degree halo. 5 planets are those that surround this great star, two of these planets, one of which is located in front of the sun and the other in the third place of the halo, are planets with atmospheres so toxic that they could instantly poison anyone who was not part of that planet's ecosystem
The other two planets, the furthest from the rest, are completely frozen places, a cold hell for beings who are not used to the conditions of this region.
And finally , the last planet, the only one that seems to be able to host free, not in the form of microbes or microscopic organisms, a planet that is finally capable of hosting primitive and intelligent plant life. An entire ecosystem created through years of brutal evolution.
A planet full of large swamps and humid jungle forests in the eastern hemisphere of the planet, in the western hemisphere of the planet you could see a rocky terrain, with a mega volcano which is connected to the mantle of the planet, in the north and south of the planet you can two almost perfect circles of semi-deserted and forested land. A perfect ecosystem for any predator that lives on this planet.
But at the edge of the solar system, at one of the far edges of the solar system, you could see several objects sailing in space, three space objects to be specific, about 360 meters long, and about 275 meters long. broad.
The great ship is in the shape of a large rectangle, with the upper part fully armored in a platinum gray color. With four satellites that are in the shape of a circle, which are in the middle of the upper part of the ship, the sides of the ship were equipped with two batteries of small single-chambered elxter propelled guns. The bridge of the ship rose a little of the ship, a small tower which is shaped like a T, silver-yellow tinted glass slightly shone from the reflection of the white star. And in the lower part of the ship, a part of the ship is painted in a blue color.
The cargo area of the ship's research freighter was anchored in the frame of the ship, the function of these ships are not offensive, it is more of the cargo objective , intended for long trips to take a large group of people to their specific destination, usually used for trade between planets and the transportation of exotic, medical or construction materials.
In this case, the ships are meant to carry a large load of research, all being led by a single ship.
Which has a mark of a Phoenix with wings of fire, rising over a green planet, next to this symbol you can see the name of the ship in white. Midas 2.
On the bridge of the Midas two, you can see a whole group of people working on various monitors and screens that show the status of the ship in a semi-circle, in the center of the ship's bridge you can see the image of a hologram showing an image of the system in which they are, behind the hologram you can see a seat with several cables that are connected to the seat and that go to the ground, which transfer a liquid that helps the captain to connect with the ship and handle it through the mind with ease.
The seat is being occupied by the captain of the ship, an older man of about 56 years of age with white skin, blond graying hair, with a short beard on his chin, jaws and nose, being lightly rubbed by his gloved hand. . He wears a gray and blue uniform, a blue button-down shirt on the right side and gray on the left side. Gray dress pants and black military shoes, on his spine is a device that reads his vital signs, which glows green, as is the device that helps him control the ship from his mind.
He is the Captain of Midas 2, Darek Azarías, one of those in charge of the research group to investigate the recent strange energy signatures that one of the space depth sensors captured, signatures that come from the solar cannon that is on the other side . of this star system.
An officer who is in charge of monitoring the ship's sensors checks the monitor in front of him , the signal of a large concentration of element Zero being activated is shown in the holographic radar image. The officer turns around and says to his captain in a young voice "Captain, we have the signal of the anomaly that we located in this system."
"And that it's a boy" says the captain in a deep voice, turning to the officer. Who started typing the data he just saw on his monitor, the 3D hologram suddenly projected the source of the anomaly they are perceiving, along with a complete map of the entire solar system. The signal that the officer located was blinking red.
"It seems that a large concentration of Zero element is being activated inside the solar cannon, captain, I am also receiving some kind of signal coming from the depths of space" informed the officer.
Captain Darek rubs his beard now more slowly "I see..." he turns to see the officer and asks "can you get where the signal originates from ? "
The officer shakes his head "Negative sir, I would need a depth sensor to be able to know exactly where the source is coming from, I can only assume for the moment where the signal would come from"
The Captain turns his gaze to the ship's hologram, seeing the blinking red signal with narrowed eyes, he stopped scratching his beard in favor, putting his hand on his chin and rubbing it thoughtfully at what this could mean.
They have never tried to use the solar cannons, all in favor of using Elxter which was much more efficient, easy to get and powerful than the Zero element. They don't know yet what the Element Zero or Eezo can fully do.
Naturally the Eezo is used for mundane things, like paint, parts, temporary replacements for elxter batteries and sometimes addictive for idiots who want to get the feeling of being high on Element Zero.
He won't admit it openly but he is afraid of the implications of what this could mean, it could mean that someone is sending something into the sun cannons, someone is trying to contact humanity using the sun cannons, some kind of ancient super weapon. There are many possibilities for what this could mean.
And that terrifies him. But at this crucial moment you don't want to take chances or jump to unlikely conclusions right now, you want a clear answer of what this can mean. Unfortunately there is a scientist who can explain what is happening at the moment.
But there is a person who can give you a clearer answer of what this can mean.
He touches a button that is on his chair "Midas, find out" says Darek, suddenly the hologram that showed the solar map of this system shrank, to reveal the image of the ship.
A voice of a man with a light and animated tone speaks through the image "Captain Darek, this is unit M01DF4S reporting"
"Midas, I want you to call Jaime Korak, I need him to come to help us find out what is happening right now," the captain ordered the IS.
"as ordered sir, you want me to prepare a warning message in case something goes wrong"
The captain nods "yes, do it, in case something happens to us I want at least the Star Alliance to have enough excuse to come and give hell to whatever happens"
"As ordered, captain" those were Midas's last words, before leaving the holographic projection, in order to find the scientist in charge of investigating this anomaly. The hologram reappeared, showing the map of the star system again.
Darek then clasps both hands in front of his chin, staring at the flashing red dot where the location of the other sun cannon is shown "…could it be that something is coming from the other side using a sun cannon?" he muttered to himself silently, taking care that no one heard him. A crazy idea that occurred to him at this time.
But which may seem the most probable in your opinion.

somewhere in the galaxy
…
"Bosh'tet! How much is the damage of the entire fleet!" a distorted voice that spoke a language that was not human, with an electronic tone resonating in his voice, signaling that he was going through a desperate time. Barely able to hold their shit for what they're going through.
"We have reports that most ships have multiple hull breaches! The energy shields are at less than 30% capacity ! Some are already starting the evacuation tasks! " said another electronic voice, who reported the reports that were coming to him.
"I'm getting reports that our weapons systems are down! The shields are completely down ! The thrusters are about to drop ! we will be stranded in nothing! " reported another electronic voice, panic and fear was clear in that voice that screamed at the top of its lungs to its captain.
"!BOSH'TET Tell the engineers to do everything they can to keep the thrusters working! If we lose the thrusters, we'll die in the middle of space! they understood ! "
"YES SIR!" the being with a gray colored visor, glowing eyes and armor that completely embraces his body, responded with a scream of complete fear.
The captain of this ship, that person who is in charge of managing this ship full of civilians and their people, who tries to escape his pursuers. He could only watch helplessly as the ship he had been placed under his command is being destroyed.
A civilian Quarian ship, being attacked by the worst the galaxy has to offer. Batarian slavers.
Captain Cael'Tollo Vas Ganbay could only clench his hands in fury as he saw that the ship in which he had been born and raised was being torn apart by the lowest of this galaxy. All for the right to have more slaves under their control, which they can sell for any price.
As they ended up in this situation, it was because of the Turians who condemned them to this fate, they were just making a jump through the Mass Relays to a system in which they can be parked, to resupply from Eezo that he had located on the surface of a planet.
It was supposed to be quick, that no one would notice what they were doing. But fate is a great Vot, a patrol fleet had to show up suddenly, it was following them waiting for the perfect moment to drive us out.
We had no choice but to run from them, leaving our entire mining operation behind as well as many of our people in the process. We moved as fast as possible to reach the Ground Relay, trying to get away from them as fast as we can.
Some had the misfortune of falling further behind the rest of the migrant fleet, they had no choice but to take a big FTL leap, with a different destination than the rest of the migrant fleet. 12 civilian ships had drifted away from the rest of the migrating fleet.
And they had the misfortune of running into a Batarian Slaving fleet, leading them to this desperate moment, fleeing these Bosh'tet Batarians, as fast as they can.
Cael hates the situation they find themselves in, hates the feeling of being the hunted instead of the hunter. He hates it with all his heart, he wishes they would turn around and crash into one of the slave ships and send them back to the Vot hole they came from.
Which he will never do, he is the captain of the Ganbay and son of the Ganbay ship, he was born here and will die defending it from whoever dares to harm it and all those who inhabit it.
He looks ahead at the light screen which shows him an image of what is happening outside the ship, seeing the Mace Relay they are approaching. Not long until they arrive.
A jolt from the ship makes Cael almost jump out of his seat, he could feel the entire ship shake completely, the groans of metal being crushed by a great force rang throughout the ship.
"We have lost the ship's hangar! We only have a single propellant left! " shouted the Quarian who was in charge of verifying the control of the ship, Cael looked ahead. They are now next to the Ground Relay.
"TURN ON THE MASS RELAY! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Cael shouted with all his might to his men.
"But Captain we don't know where this is going to take us!" his communications officer shouted.
"AND IF WE STAY HERE WE WILL BE SLAVES! ACTIVATE IT NOW!" With those words the technical officer did not hesitate to obey his order, it is better to navigate in unknown space than to be slaves to the damn Batarians.
The Tech officer turns and yells at Cael "Relay activated!" and indeed, at the words of this officer the ground Relay is activating , the rings inside the Relay began to rotate intensely. Creating a field around the civilian Quarian ships.
The last thing that passed through Cael's eyes was the sight of emptiness, to then change completely, in favor of a blue tunnel. Which leads him , and the rest of this fleet, to an unknown destination.

Altium system, 0600 hours, 3rd galactic cycle
...
"Come on Alex! Captain Darek will hang us by the balls if we're 1 minute late!" An Alliance soldier named Matías Noel yelled at another who is inside the barracks of this ship. Who is dressed in a standard Praetor combat suit. An armor that has a thick suit attached to the body of the soldier of a dull gray color, with yellow lines that show the connections of the suit.
Meltex metal plates, a combination of metals, which are made from Meltex which were infused with Elxter, allowing them to be ultra light, but with enough resistance to take a projectile with a power equal to 50% power .
The plates come in the form of a vest that covers the wearer's chest, as well as a thin, tight-fitting black cape on the abdomen, which is adorned with several Masker cartridges, shoulder pads on both shoulders, knee pads, and armored boots that they reach the knees.
Semi-solid energy batteries which travel at a speed 100 times faster than sound, which can melt the flesh and metal of any object they enter.
The standard helmet of the soldiers of the star alliance, inspired by the old helmets of the knights, has a respirator that is located on the chin of the helmet, which allows the subject to survive in space for a short period of time. A visor which is in the middle of the helmet shines intensely blue, in the part of the right ear you can see a small hyper communication antenna, which has a range of more than 50 kilometers away .
The weapon that Matías is holding is the alliance's standard assault rifle, the MX-35, a rifle with the capacity to fire more than 200 shots, with a cooling system to prevent the weapon from melting due to the heat generated from the weapons. Einstein rail batteries.
And Matías is a man of about 30 years of age, with short brown hair, with blue eyes, with a height of 1.68 feet, under that armor you can see a completely defined body.
A member of the N7 program, in which he had some of the best soldiers humanity could offer in this section, only the best could reach this level. And Matías is one of the best soldiers of the N7.
And also one with very little patience to wait for his best friend.
"Alex! You better get out quick or I'll take you to hell! " Matías shouted impatiently to his friend, who goes by the name of Alex.
"go! I 'm going ! I'm done quietly!" The person who was revealed to be Alex, wore a custom Praetor Standard armor, with the bracelets in a smooth shape, the right carries a hard light Digital Omega Tool, the right has a device placed on top of the bracelet, one that contains four vials with liquid Elxter , which can generate a powerful blade, with a heat similar to the sun.
Alex Shepard was a person with very little hair, one very similar to the military cut that soldiers receive when joining the army , and blue eyes. He gave Matías a smile "you can relax now Matías, I doubt very much that the captain is going to hang our nuts on us for being late"
"You don't know that, Alex, but even if I don't, I don't want to risk that the brainiac isn't late to see what 's going on outside," Matías replies.
Shrugging, Shepard replies "hey, so let's go, let's not take too long to avoid being hung by your ass" said a shit-eating smile to Matías. Who stared at him with blank eyes.
Matías sighed and said "just walk please" he began to walk forward, with his weapon in hand to escort the scientist who came to investigate this anomaly.
Shepard started to follow her partner, a smile on her face as she walked through the corridors of this ship, ending up next to Matías to avoid losing track of him. While they both walked, finding the occasional soldier or subject on their way, Shepard couldn't help but ask Matías "hey Matías, what do you know about our scientist who came with us?"
Matías looked at him with his eyes blank and replied "if you read the reports then you would know why they sent two N7s to pick up this subject"
"Yes, I've read the reports, Matías, I just want to know what you know about Jaime Korak, I've heard a bit about him, but not as much as you should have heard in the past," Shepard said, stepping aside to avoid colliding with him. other soldiers who were hanging around this corridor.
Matías turns to see Shepard a bit incredulous, his voice describing what he was feeling "What? Don't you know who Jaime Korak is?
Shepard tilted his head a bit confused by his friend's words, "right? Because? Is it someone important within the Arms Hyperionis space? A big shot from your government?
Matías shakes his head as he sighed at Shepard's answer, like he's not supposed to know who Korak is, but it's fair. Very few know who Korak is "I shouldn't be surprised, but actually it does, I thought if you would know who Korak is"
"I only know how little I've been hearing of what people are saying between their voices, which for your information, doesn't tell me anything about who he is," Shepard replied.
Matías sighed, looked his friend in the eye seriously and said "well, in simple terms, Korak is known as the scientist from the scarlet room, the reason why he earned this title is simple, all his experiments naturally end." with the room stained red" said Matías completely serious.
"oh" that was all Shepard could say.
"Oh, oh yes Shepard, every one of your science projects involving human biology and Elxter's experimentation in human biology naturally ends with the room where you conduct your experiments bathed in the blood of the corpse or of the poor devil who had the misfortune of being his test subject " said Matías distractedly. " Besides he's a fucking genius when it comes to Daemon technology, he can't replicate or handle it if that's what you think, but rather , he can understand how to use it."
"Shit, I think if I had heard of him , he is a scientist from Arms Hyperionis that person who discovered the 7 altars of the Daemons, right ? Shepard asked.
"Yes, yes it is, and to add to our misfortune, he works for Arms Hyperionis" said Matías.
Shepard groans in annoyance upon hearing the news of his friend, of all places he could have come from, it had to be a person from Arms Hyperionis. But this now confused Shepard, because someone from Arms Hyperionis joined a Star Alliance expedition.
Matías, who probably knew what he was thinking, told him "if you are thinking why someone from Arms Hyperionis is on a Star Alliance ship, the answer is simple. The damn politics
"Ah hell, I hate when military operations merge with politics, why do we have to do it anyway, I know we have neutral relations with the other 2 factions, but why ? Shepard asked aloud.
"Well Shepard, the answer to that is, in the words of Minister Udina who ordered the anomaly in this system to be investigated," he coughed a little to adjust his voice, trying to imitate someone's voice "we have the responsibility to improve to humanity, whatever the cost and that implies that if we have to unite our enemies in our problems to unite them under a single flag, so be it" I try to imitate the voice of Minister Udina.
Shepard laughed a little when she heard Matías's bad imitation of Minister Udina "hehehe, a bad imitation, but I can live with that"
Matías smiles slightly, returning his gaze to the front, which later turned sour when he saw a door to a barracks, which is to the right of the two of them. " It's in that barracks," he said, pointing to the sliding door which has the number 23 written on it. she.
Shepard turned deadly serious at the number on the door, glanced sideways at his friend and nodded, giving him the nod to go and knock on the door.
Matías got the message, he approached the door, just when he was about to approach the range for the door to open, it suddenly opens, before Matías could approach the door. The room was darkened, the lights that illuminated the place were off, to allow darkness to reign in this place.
Shepard approaches the door and yells "Jaime Korak, Captain Darek is calling on you for important business on the bridge, we need you to-"
"You don't need to tell me what to do, Private Shepard," Jaime Korak said Alex's last name, causing Shepard's senses to go on alert. How does he know who he is? He has no idea, but it's most likely via the Conqexion, the network that connects all planets to an omega-class hyperline.
Suddenly inside the room three pairs of footsteps sounded inside the room, the reflection of the light from the corridor illuminated the first two figures, they were robotic in appearance.
With a height of about 2.50 feet, with a shape similar to that of a crow, with two pairs from before that are on the sides of its head, which are tilted up and down, three pairs of red eyes were staring at Matias and Shepard.
With both robotic arms made of plasti Meltex, a metallic semi-organic alloy that holds the entire body of the machine . Which starts from the beginning of the shoulder and ends up to the wrist of your body. Giving it an almost human appearance, with armor plates which are found on them, with the difference that the hands of the machines have only four fingers which are a thumb and three fingers, the legs of the machines which have a similar appearance. Resembling that of a mantis, it has a leg that ends with four sharp mechanical claws, as well as Meltex armor plates on the knees.
The right arm of both machines were equipped with a gravity claw module, which can disconnect anything from gravity with a wave of energy that grabs any object for a short period of time, the claw can still throw the object with tremendous strength and speed, enough to destroy the Elxter particle shield surrounding the soldiers.
And on the left arm you can see a Naulux blade device, a blade made of Meltex which is infused with Naulux, a highly poisonous substance that is reactive to the body of any organic being. A simple scratch of this liquid and the victim will begin to feel the effects in 10 seconds and then die poisoned by the effects of the Naulux poison 30 seconds later.
And finally, on the back of both machines you can see two fins which are pointing upwards. These are Hawkes thrusters. Which serve to give them greater mobility on the battlefield. A machine certainly made for war and intense combat.
Matías and Shepard were put on alert, in case a shooting happened inside these corridors, which most likely is not going to happen. But the presence of the Enforcers, IS controlling the body of a machine , with an efficiency to give even the N7 a run for their money and win battles under unfavorable circumstances.
Everyone knows you don't fuck with an Enforcer unless you're ready to die, not for nothing are they some of the best units Arms Hyperionis has to offer when it comes to sabotage, stealth and assassination operations. Just like they are one of the best bodyguards you can have.
"Calm down people, they won't do anything to you... unless you give them a clear reason" Jaime Korak's voice sounded again from the darkness.
Two metallic shoes suddenly appeared out of the shadows, followed by the chest plate of a machine , then showing a robotic head, with a screen attached to the face of the machine, which has an antenna where the right ear would be.
The machine's backbone was revealed, exposing something similar to the rib bones that are anchored to the metal column. Being the only thing that supports the rest of the body of the machine , the arms of the machine had a disturbingly human appearance, the right shoulder of the machine presented a small extension in the shape of a rectangle of the same color as the bronze orange armor. of the executors.
From the screen of the machine , he suddenly recreated the image of a face, which was blue, the face of a 43-year-old man, with glasses and combed-back hair.
The face on the screen smiled and said in a somewhat amused and static tone, because of the howlers that are connected to the robot's head to Shepard and Matías "it seems that my escort has finally arrived… so what are you waiting for, take me to see the captain please"
…
Midas Bridge 0650 hours, 3rd galactic cycle
…
On the ship's bridge, Captain Darek couldn't take his eyes off the signal that the solar cannon was generating, he didn't like what he was seeing at all, it certainly made him nervous not knowing what was happening in this place.
Since he had called Midas to bring Jaime Korak to give him a possible answer about what is happening with the solar cannon, they moved as close as possible, but with enough distance to avoid being too close to it. Ending up on top of the planet's atmosphere with the right climate for colonization. Maybe after this is over they can colonize this planet .
But even so, that does not avoid a fact that has been bothering him since they arrived in this star system.
He doesn't like going to places where he doesn't know what's going on, but that's already a luxury that can't be had, you'll hardly know what's going on wherever you are, whether it's a shooting, an assault to a pirate base or in the middle of a battlefield.
But this is different, for the first time they are facing the unknown, something they have not seen happen in their entire history of space travel. This will completely affect humanity either positively or negatively, this will affect all humans in some way.
His thoughts are cut short when one of the two doors leading to this bridge suddenly opens, revealing Jaime Korak, the scientist from the scarlet room, being escorted by two Enforcers and two N7 soldiers who are behind him.
The Enforcers took the lead, taking large steps to create a path for Jaime Korak, who followed in the footsteps of the Enforcers, the N7 soldiers, who were not wearing helmets. They followed in the footsteps of the enforcers and Korak, trying to keep up with him.
The enforcers positioned themselves to the right and left of the bridge's central hologram, the N7 soldiers strategically positioned themselves behind the enforcers, and Korak stood in front of it, with that disturbing holographic face shining in front of his face, grinning. holographic toothy looking funny. He says with that electronic tone in his voice "Captain Darek it's a pleasure to meet you in the flesh" he said as he offered his robotic hand to Darek.
Darek not being intimidated by Jaime Korak's attitude for Jaime shakes his robotic hand, the cold touch of the metal touched Darek's skin as he shook hands with the scientist "it's a pleasure to meet you in person Jaime Korak"
"The pleasure is all mine captain, I would like to tell you that it is good that we met, but honestly we have more important things to discuss. is n't it? Korak asked, tilting his head to the right, the person's digital smile widening more than a human would be allowed to smile.
Darek treated this as normal and told Korak "that's right, that most important thing we called you about, Kevin, show him what you taught me 50 minutes ago."
"As you say, sir," said the officer identified as Kevin, operating on his monitor again and projecting the image he had previously shown Captain Darek.
" This is what we have found so far Korak" Jaime instead of standing where he is , begins to surround the hologram that shines in the middle of the command bridge "The solar cannon that is on the other side of the solar system is showing strange activity for 1 hour and shows no sign that it is going to stop, just like we have received a signal that comes from the depths of unexplored space "
Julian suddenly stops in the middle of the executors watching as the hologram shows the flashing dot of the sun cannon "Wow, wow, this is something really interesting, I always wondered what the sun cannons would look like when activated, I never thought that It would be like this" said Julián, looking at the hologram, then he turned to see the captain and asked him "and you said that there was a signal that came from unknown space, right ? "
"That's right, at the moment we can only guess what this might mean, but that's the last thing I want to know, I don't want guesses as to what this might mean. I want a straight answer and I want it as soon as possible" said Darek completely serious.
"Well my good captain, I could only answer that this is a process in which something is traveling at a speed similar to light through space, towards our direction" Korak replied with his electric and robotically happy voice "I imagine you know the process it takes to travel through a solar canyon, right?"
Darek replied, telling him if we know Korak, we don't need a history lesson right now. What I want to know is why it 's activating at this moment" asked Darek deadly serious.
Jaime Korak let out a long sigh, clutching the screen in front of him, his digital face took on an expression of sudden annoyance "it can't be that I find such retrograde and backward minds for me" he flies to Darek and this time he raises his robotic voice "you gave yourself the answer captain Darek, someone is coming from I don't know where, through the solar cannons"
…
…
…
"That?" The person who asked this was none other than Shepard, because everyone was silent by all of Jaime Korak's words, so silent that even the lowest sound could be considered the loudest of all.
Korak turned to see Shepard and answered him, with a look full of condescension and annoyance at not understanding what he was explaining to them, " that's right little soldier, your ears didn't hear wrong, someone, whoever or whatever, is here ." using a solar cannon to reach this solar system and will be, most likely , within a few minutes of arriving" Jaime said, as he inched closer to Shepard, for every word he spoke.
The sounds of her footsteps echoed throughout the room as she approached him . "And it may or may not be a full invasion force. If the sun cannon has been activated for more than an hour, then that means the sun cannon has covered a large number of objects which are now approaching this system" he kept walking until he ended up in front of Shepard, the digital face now had a face full of crazy happiness "and that's the best! Finally we can find intelligent life in this great galaxy ! Intelligent and not primitive life! naive ! "
Matías had already raised his gun when Jaime Korak was facing Shepard, ready to pull the trigger if necessary, but the enforcers protecting Korak reacted immediately, raising their weapons and pointing at Matías.
Putting everyone on alert, the unarmed officers and technicians hid behind monitors and holographic screens to avoid being caught in the crossfire. But those guards and officers who carried weapons, aimed them at the two enforcers, Darek had taken out a KR-Raven35 pistol and pointed it at Korak, ready to pull the trigger if necessary.
Shepard had backed up for every step Korak took, but she couldn't back up fast enough, to prevent Korak from approaching in front of her face, Jaime Korak's digital face could only smile disturbingly at Shepard.
Shepard couldn't help but sweat nervously at the almost manic behavior that Korak was exuding, Jaime could only tell him with that insane smile "isn't that fun"
Shepard was seriously thinking about opening fire and killing Jaime Korak, fuck the politics and PR between ERA and Arms Hyperionis. If this crazy son of a bitch tries to do anything against him, he'll kill him.
But before any firefight broke out on the bridge, before shells whizzed and flew bright from the guns of each drawn gun. The digital voice of the IS aboard this ship. He says in an alarmed voice to everyone inside the bridge "attention! I detect several objects of unknown origin coming out of the solar canyon ! right now! "
Darek who still kept his pistol pointed at Jaime Korak, could only open his eyes wider upon hearing this news, his eyes suddenly narrowed. You know what you have to do.
He knows what has to be done.
All the officers still kept their guns trained on Korak and his enforcers, but lowered them when Darek suddenly yelled "what are you idiots doing! They didn't hear what Midas said! We have unknown contacts entering the system ! Everyone take your positions now! "
Immediately all the officers instantly lowered their weapons and returned to their posts, keeping their eyes on the enforcers as they moved, Matías had not lowered his weapon. But he was forced to do it when Darek told him " you do the same son, if you don't want me to hang you by your balls right now" a little reluctantly Matías lowered the gun, in the process the executioners also lowered their weapons.
And Korak walked away from Shepard, taking two steps back "well, it seems that the bell rang and saved us from a tragedy inside this ship" the smile that seemed twisted and terrifying before, faded giving way to a melancholic smile, the Enforcers surrounded Jaime Korak "well, I'll see you downstairs gentlemen, I hope to see you downstairs again" With that said, Korak began to walk towards where they had entered. Leaving the command bridge.
of relief when she saw that Jaime Korak left the place, Matías approached him , asking him once in front of his friend "hey are you okay"
Shepard replies "yeah, that's fine... now I see why Jaime Korak is terrifying, he can practically be a psychopath pretending to be a scientist"
"Well, because we have to go to the barracks, we don't want this place to be destroyed if the aliens come shooting at us" said Matías.
Shepard nods and says "okay let's go" they both ran out of the control room.
Starting to take control of the ship, Darek calls the other transport ships, through the hypercommunicator they have on board "attention to the rest of the research fleet, descend to the surface of the planet, I repeat, descend to the surface of the planet now!"
"but sir! no _ It would be better from here by means of a Hermes jump to get out of the system!" shouted one of his officers.
"Could be, but I want to keep our presence as anonymous as possible from them, everyone prepare to land on the planet! now ! " Darek yelled.
The officer nodded and said "understood sir!"
Darek suddenly started the process from his mind to control the ship by means of a digital-mind control that will allow him to move the ship in any direction, by means of an image of each angle of the entire ship.
1 second was what it took to be able to be in literal terms, the eyes, body and mind of the ship, all its nerves are connected to those of the ship at this precise moment. Becoming in the literal sense an important part of the ship, the brain and heart of the ship.
and with just a mere thought, the entire ship moved at his will, as if the ship were truly his body, they descended from space, heading against the planet.
