Two trillion credits (IC, MilkyWay Closed)

Void

"What shall we do now? I'm afraid to say... nothing. You're bound to Tanas with a force I cannot break, and cannot see. Something more than his own power controls you, and I belive that Tanas is not really Tanas, or if he is, he is being helped by something... And whatever he is, he is not simply the enemy of life, but of..."
Entity watched a star collapse into supernova, obliterating all traces of life there. An Empire weapon did that, and eradicated not only people, but their ideas, and acheivements, as well as destroyed a once beautiful planet and its star.
"He is the enemy of everything. We do not yet completely understand eachother, or the bends and twists of existence. We must understand everything we can before we can build the balance. And Chrysallis... he seems strong, though slightly misguided. He seeks not complete and utter destruction, but simply to rule I think. He will be an enemy of Tanas, and Jakara. She will become more like Tanas as well."

[Vetega]

Varios thought this over with great interest.
"Jakara is a problem that we must let Virel and Jerascendor deal with. I know that much. Tanas however is another story all together. After having several power transfer sessions with him, I can see that he is merely a messenger. There are other forces at work. They knew that they could not defeat me, so they had him bind me to his will. Crysallis shares some of the bind, but not enough to keep me from his grasp. I have a feeling that if we were to kill him it would only bring about the rise of something older. Something that everyone fears and respects. The End itself. " he replied as he looked at the Multiverse.

His eyes zoomed in on the Andromeda galaxy. Every world was at war with itself. Every system was embroiled in great space battles. The Empire was losing control of the situation faster than expected, and Tanas seemed to be withdrawing his strongest ships to the Hezion on the outer edge of the Milky Way.

[Hladgos]

"You see it dont you? The war coming? It is truly the only way Tanas can be defeated. He will think he is more powerful, but when all is ready, everything will turn against him, and the reality will be righted. There will be death during his reign though, and many will be lost."
Entity turned to Chaos and had a sad look apon his face.
"Time. You know it, her. No more."
Entity then smiled again, and thought of the two beings, Virel and Jerascendor.
"Virel and Jerascendor, Alathas and Nebuk. They will have parts to play in the future, far more precious than we can know."
He turned to Chaos, and noted that this was now a new being, but he looked suddenly serious.
"What would you do to stop it? The End. I respect, but do not fear the end, and I will do everything within, and past my power to stop it. I will die to keep this beauty alive for one more precious second. Dont you see? My love is nonexistent, though it is everywhere. I love this place, even the things I cannot know. I dont know of any individual, so I love everything. That is my gift to this place. I fight because I must. But I only fight, because I choose to."

Alathas didn't understand half of what Nebuk was saying, and the half she did understand wasn't very helpful. She set him down on the medical table and activated the autotreatment suite. It created an IV for him with pain killers to take out his headache. At the same time she activated the other table to take hundreds of scans of her brain. Hopefully, this would explain what had happened.

Etelli & Liikana

Etelli finally finished checking her clothes and started loading brown paper wrapped parcels into the carts. She took the long, black leather coat out and put it on. It had two rows of five sliver buttons that were attached to wide hexagonal straps of leather. The row on the right was just for show though. It fit tight around her waist. "That will be five thousand credits." Etelli pulled a role of fifty thousands out and pulled a few bills from it. "That's six. Keep the change." "Liikana," Aequinas said, "You're order is also ready. If you'd like to try them on, there are rooms in the back. I made a frictionless liner for you so that they wouldn't rub you're fur." "I'll be waiting by the transporter." Etelli said. She leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.

"You'll get you're payment later." the provecti said. "And I ain't screwing around. You're coming with me." He wore a long brown leather coat that had seen better days. He grabbed the man by the arm and roughly lead him to his own car. "That laser did most of the healing for you by cauterizing the large veins. You're just missing on the morphine. Now, that guy you killed. A lot of people aren't happy about that. Now my boss here, he is happy about it. I'm here to take you back to you're ride and send you on you're way, because you wouldn't have lasted five more minutes in there. See those guys?" he pointed out the window. Two men in nicer coats than his ran into the hospital. "They're hitmen for the new boss. They're after you. Now when you get back, my boss wants you to remember who saved you're ass. Maybe you want to do some work for him. Just remember this card." He gave him a card with just a phone number on it before he took off to take the man back to his car.

Don looked at the card. He looked at the address and decided to head to the location. In the back he found his armor, jetpack, and weapons. "now to go collect my payment," he said to himself as he walked out of the door.

The computer checked the DNA in the blood, and did a double take. This was new, and not compeltely DNA. It was something different, though it was almost identical to an elf's structure. The computer classified him as an elf, but with a unique structure of DNA, though everything else was pretty much the same.
"I probably did it through the sheer volume of my thought. The very emotional reason of simply wanting to..."
He looked at Alathas as she scanned her brain signature.
"Be with you..."
It was barely a whisper, but his mind screamed hilariously loud, and he could not control it. He was in love.

Etelli & Liikana
"I'll get changed right away."
Liikana walked over to the changing room and put on her clothes after arranging her other set in a nice folded pile in the corner of the room. She finished it after a while, and after having to figure out how some of the stuff actually worked. She walked out of the room and slowly make her way to Etelli.
"Is it good?"
She would have attempted a pose, but she was too busy being embarrased and looking at the floor to do so.

"Stay here!" he got out of the car. It was a long, common model car. The mob had changed out the drive train for him though. He quickly swapped the plates and got back in. "Now stay low and stay quite." he hissed out quietly. He brought the car back on line and headed towards a main road. He was sure to drive as far away from where he'd entered the area before he went back to a visible altitude. His ears were glued to the police scanner.

Tower

Impressive bit of engineering. Aganotorus though as he also focused on landing. He opened the doors with only a thought. "Excuse me, can you direct me to Cariophillus?" he asked the first person he saw. "It is an urgent matter, I assure you."

Outlands

He managed to get below the tree line, and landed on his four legs while his hand grasped the trees near him. He tucked his wings tight to keep them from being swept away. He began snaking his ways through the trees, trying to remember exactly what he was supposed to be doing here. It seemed foolish to him now.

Vetega Prime

"Report!" Captain Octovinus shouted. "Alert from Nova. No specifications." "Channel to Nova." The ensign opened one. "Report Izon!" Octovinus shouted.

[The Orson Empire]

Don took out his blaster rifle and stayed low like the man suggested. He aimed it out the window just in case they followed. He then yelled,"What's going on? Why are they after us?"

Meanwhile, don's boss, Arkenson, would still be wondering where Don was. He finally decided he wasn't coming. He called one of his mobsters and said,"I want you to check to see if Daxx is dead. I haven't heard a thing from Don. I guess he is finished." He ended the transmission and set at his desk, counting the money.

[Kreanoltha]

Alathas was wrapped up in her own problems as this point. She stood quickly after the scan was finished. "Wait, that can't be right." she flipped though the hundreds of images of her brain. She didn't know too much about neurology, but she knew enough to know that there were two extra lobes in her brain and that the telepathic lobes were far too dense. Why did Nebuk have to be sick right now? She needed someone to explain this.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"They look great." Etelli said. "Now stop looking so down. Did you pay and tip her?" she asked.

[Kreanoltha]

"Someone probably called you in when they saw a guy with wounds from an illegal weapon." the provecti said. "You're in the local cluster. That hardware you're working is off limits here." He accelerated as fast as he dared, while still going slow enough to evade the attention of the police patrolling the skies. "Now hide that thing before they see it. That is the fastest way to get caught. How green are you?"

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar
Nebuk looked over at the screen and smiled. Though it was slightly blurry, he could see that something was different. She was either changing, or was always different. There were four dense dark green spots on the scan where the telepathic lobes were supposed to be. She had either evolved, or changed it herself subconciously.
"You really change fast."

Etelli & Liikana
"Oh, uh... I need the money to pay for it though."
She never grabbed any of the money, and instead entrusted it to Etelli at the moment they got it all. She looked up and gazed at Etelli again, in her new clothes, she was just brilliant. She literally shined in the light.

[The Orson Empire]

"Alright the." Don hid the weapon, turned around and said,"What do you mean about how green I am?"

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

"But how?" she couldn't believe what she was seeing. She took a blood sample and waited for agonizing minutes.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"Oh, right." she looked at what they had left. It was around a hundred and fifty. She tossed Liikana a seventy five thousand roll. "That's about half." she said.

Pinwheel Galaxy
Gandelon-4

"I mean do you always run around the local cluster with an illegal weapon in plain view for the cops to see so they can put you in the slammer for ten years with no parole?" He turned his headlights on as he entered a more illuminated area. Rail fell from the car in sheets as the storm picked up pace.

[The Orson Empire]

Don replied,"Sorry, didn't know this weapon was illegal. Don't worry, I'll keep it hidden. Just get us out of here!!" Done continued to look outside as the wild chase continued.

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar
"I'm guessing you are either different, or your mind somehow evolved its own brain at a redicuous pace."
Nebuk sat up, but realised that his body didn't move. He could feel himself trying to move, but his body just wouldn't do what he wanted it to. He was probably horrendously drugged or something, or just still in shock.

Etelli & Liikana
Liikana grabbed the money and walked over to Aequinas with an embarrased smile.
"Uh, here you go. Thanks for helping me out."

[Kreanoltha]

Pinwheel Galaxy

"I'm going as fast as I can without giving the cops the idea that they should be looking for me." he said. "If I go too fast then they'll want to see where I'm going. If I drive with my lights off, they'll want to know why I don't want to be seen. You want to stay hidden?" he reached to the back seat and pulled out an extra hat and coat. "Put these on." A car chase wasn't about speed. It was about staying hidden in plain view. Cat and mouse at mach 15.

[The Orson Empire]

Don put on the clothes. "Good thinking," he said, looking out the window. Don replied,"After this chase is over, what do you think I should do? I've pretty much got nowhere to go, since my homeworld was destroyed."

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

"But I'm just an elf!" she pulled at her ears. "See, pointy-eared freak! All that crap." The DNA analysis finally finished. She looked at the results. "What the fuck?" she murmured. There were five chromosomes of the seventy ones the elves had that scanned as being wrong. Still elvish, but no quite right. "What are these." she asked as she ran them though every database the computer could hack.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"That will be three thousand and five hundred credits." Aequinas said. On that a five hundred credit tip would be fine.

Pinwheel Galaxy
Gandelon-4

"You were screaming about a payment pretty well back there in the hospital." he said. "Let me guess? Hitman? Go get you palm greased." It was Kreanolthan slang for getting payed to do something unsavory.

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar
Suddenly he began to feel the warmth ebb back into his veins. He slowly sat up, a tremendous amount of energy wasted on that simple little effort, and he got up and walked smoothly over to Alathas.
"Let me see..."
He put his hand on hers, which was on the keyboard and he simply typed through her hand. He put his and her DNA up to eachother to see if they were anything similar, or at least different in a similar way.

Etelli & Liikana
She put down five, thousand credit chips and smiled widely at her.
"Thanks so much Aequinas! I'll come back if I can..."
Liikana turned and nearly skipped back to Etelli with a grin.
"Now what? I guess we could go and get something to eat."

[Vetega]

Varios sighed. He knew Kagura was going to die.
"I would do anything to protect this. This beauty is worth dieing for. " he replied


Vetega System

The Nova was placed on high alert. Virel was in command since Izon was preoccupied.
"All ships advance in V formation. Izon is busy, I will lead the assault until further notice. " he stated.

The fleet moved in at full speed. Almost immediately, imperial ships dropped out of hyperspace.
"Fire at will." He ordered.

The Nova fired hundreds of missiles. The other ships fired weapons of their own
"Incoming fighter screen! "
"All fighters to repel incoming attackers."

Immortal Realm

Sceela appeared from the fog near Aganotorus. Her silver hair blew in the wind.
"Aganotorus, Lord of Shadow. Why have you come? "

Tower

"I am he. " Cariophillus stated.

The man was 8 feet tall with a red beard and red hair. He wore a black robe with red trim.

"I assume you are Aganotorus? "

[Hladgos]

Entity smiled and looked at Varios. He was not broken, but he was strained.
"You will have power more than you know after this is all over. You will be able to..."
Entity laughed and waved his hand around with a certain odd sparkle in his eyes.
"Do things that would make death seem... unnoticeable."

Vetega System
Jerascendor looked at Virel and gave him a sudden kiss.
"I'll be off fighting bugs for you Virel. If you need real help, I'll be in a gunship."
She smiled and then dissapeared into the hangar. She pointed at several people apparently stunned from her sudden arrival, but they quickly prepared one of the larger bomber/gunship craft while she hopped into a sleek, deadly looking fighter and launched.

"Allright, level out and pan around there. I dont want to be stuck in that little trap they made, so lets fire a few rounds here, a few rounds there..."
Fuukanr grabbed the control panel and pressed a few buttons, smoothly moving the Nova into a strafing position against the tiny ships against her.

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

The representation of their DNA was overlaid. There was the base. It was the same. Just elvish. Then there were the major differences. Nebuk had chromosomal differences that obviously mean it was made from a machine and the scanner annotated it as such. They allowed him to directly interface with almost all forms of technology and produce nanomachines within himself. Alathas' DNA suddenly began flashing red with a "classified" stamp over it. The computer hacked the fire wall, and labels reading 6584, 6585, 6589, 6798, and 6649 flashed over the chromosomes. "What are they? Are you feeling up to some hacking?" she asked Nebuk. Computers like this one still eluded her.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"Sounds great!" Etelli said as she finished buckling her boots. They made her look even taller. "What do you feel like?" She really didn't care what they eat so long as there was a lot of it.

Vetega System

The mostly repaired Dii Malleus coordinated its fire with some of the other light ships to attack a single Imperial Battlestar.

Immortal Realm
Outlands

The great drake stiffened his back. "I came for you General Sceela. We need you again."

Tower

"Yes," he said. "Pleased to meet you. I'm on rather important business. These plans," he handed him a satchel, "are vital to our defense."

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar
Nebuk looked at the structure and didn't even need to hack the computer. He still had all of the information he had before. He probably knew more about anything than any other biological being in the universe, other than probably just a few. He could figure out what the sequences did simply by looking at them.
"Let's see..."
He began to type up a summary exceedingly fast on the computer as his fingers flashed around the keyboard.

Etelli & Liikana
"Whoa... You look even more different..."
Etelli had put on all sorts of extras on, which further emphasized her style and look. All Liikana could do was stare and mutter;
"Something..."
She never really had a choice to as what she ate before.

Republican Marine Corp Intelligence and Development division. Special Weapons, Bio-warfare, and Tactics department. Project Heracles. The second participant was the man from the memory. There was a fantastic amount of data there. Genetic codes for the five modified chromosomes, a list of abilities they were trying to achieve, results, successes, failures. Her father had been one of the failures. She sniffled a little looking at the face of someone she'd never even known. He was listed MIA. She shook her head and printed off the list of stuff. "What am I supposed to do now?" she asked Nebuk. Her voice was hollow.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"Like?" Etelli said. She pulled out a fedora from one of the parcels. More traditionally a man's hat, but she'd had the brim cut short and had it stylized in a way that fit her look. "Now we look like we go with our car. For food... how about this. You bring up the computer in the car and find the best reviewed place in the city and I'll see how fast I can get us there?"

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar
Nebuk finally found it easyer to simply pull up the files now, so he did. Tons of information came in and he read it. The information was typical of biological studies, but there was Alathas in there, well, her father at least.
"What do you mean what are you supposed to do?"

Etelli & Liikana
"Why do you make everything you wear look good?"
Liikana put on a hat, and like usual, it wouldn't fit due to the ears on the top of her head.
"I guess we can do that. Just dont crash or something..."
