The Battle in Outer Space continues. Avrivion Warriors and their families have been eliminated by General Bratykol in his relentless pursuit to eliminate the remaining peoples of the The Sister Empires and the Eight Border Empires. Captain Cremelyn, on board her long range, Stealth Space Cruiser-Sub has just found out about the mass extermination, and now is facing the new responsibilities of being the leader of whatever stragglers of the Avrivion Empire.
The Levenian Pirates have called for their last real Captain to lead them in a mass exodus to Animor. The Kadiens and the Altima have also opted to make the journey. While the Virgin Valkyrie makes a discovery.
The Shipmaster bowed and spoke softly, “This shall be done, we will grace the Kadiens with our finest artistry and in the quickest amount of time. In two Altimaks we shall be ready for departure to Animor.”
While on the Deck of the Virgin Valkyrie, Captain Vortigen slowly rising from his long rest, pondered the question, “Who could have betrayed them to the Bengra longships at the rendezvous?” He looked into the Illustra Focuser and spoke, “Are we alone?”
In a moment the image of the Virgin Valkyrie entered Vortigen’s mind and spoke, “Yes, my love, but I have detected an alien presence within my hull. It seems to be transmitting but I can not tell exactly where it is as it has multiple-echo clones.”
The Captain said, “We must find it. Is that the source of deception?”
The Virgin Valkyrie replied, “No, it is only a secondary beacon. The source is a shadow in my mind, it is using something beyond my understanding. I need a shipmaster to explain.”
Vortigen now greatly concerned asked, “Are you infected?”
She spoke back, “Yes, but it is Minor, at the moment, but my Com is compromised. We must make the retreat at the Dex Line soon or I fear it will spread. There is a more immediate and important issue, I am losing Black matter energy. I fear that I will only have enough for one pass into the retreat, if we miss, i will cease.”
He gently spoke, “Then, my love, we go to the retreat in Animor. I must ask the Pari to grant me a family visit.”
“Then to Animor, my love.”
