Ship name: Sanib
Ship class: Reseph Class Recon Cruiser
Crew Complement: 65
Mission: Unknown

Bridge staff:

Lee Kogan, Captain
An old space-wolf, one of most experienced captains in Order Fleet.
He was one of many crewman's, on one of Walkers cruisers, who decided to defect Liberty and join The Order, after he saw corruption in Liberty Fleet.
When he joined order, it didn't need him to fast move to rank Captain, where he is till today.
Many times he was offered Admiral seat, but every time he said No, explaining that his position is near his friends, crew..

Jason Grey, Commander
After Captain Kogan lost his First Officer, while boarding Hunter Battleship, he needed to pick new one. Jason was one of finest choices, he was serving under Kogan for very long time.


Malcom Linston, Liutenant Commander
Young and enthusiastic officer, that isen't in such good relations with First Officer, Jason, since childhood, but its even worse now, because Malcom should have been first officer, not Jason.
Malcom tries to show Captain Kogan, that he is much better than Jason, and that will cost him a lot one day, working on his own.


Liz Kane , Ensign
Young, not so much experienced, and most mysterious of all bridge staff, our helmsman will be Liz Kane. Born on Toledo, one of first children born there, both of her parents are Order High Command Admirals, so it is normal that they expect a lot from her, and she is under huge stress to archive best.

Evora Shipyard: Captain, your ship is ready to depart, all systems show green, engines and core are in excepted limits. Releasing docking clamps, Sanib is ready to go.
Kogan: Thank you Commander, we will make Order proud with this ship.
Ensign Kane, move us forward on 50% impulse speed, and prepare to jump to cruise engines.
Kane : Roger that, Captain... Moving Us out.
Kogan: Mister Linston, whats our status on weapons, and scanner?

* At that moment, ship started slowly moving away from Evora, proudly go to complete its mission. *

Linston: Everything is alright here... *Alarm beeps* Just a second ! .. .. We have problems with
turrets.. 3, 5, 6.. I've dispatched repair crew to fix that. Scanner is working normally.
Kogan: Ok, but I don't want problems now, We've just departed from shipyard! Fix and
and set course to Nomad Structure!
Kane: Roger that captain, going into Cruise!

One day, little Morph came to life. It was somewhere never charted before, somewhere far far away from any kind of civilization, somewhere in Omicron border worlds.



When it was released from that strange, massive structure, the only feeling it felt was that of fear and confusion. It felt lost...had no control over its senses, its emotions, or even its body. It floated there for a while before it heard the whispers...


It panicked for the first time...and felt its power over its senses "come" to it. Its first impulse was to get away...it was confused...it wanted to go back to its resting...suddenly it felt invigorated and jolted forward...

...the voices grew louder. It felt itself move again. So this was how it swam through the void of space...

The others continued to speak to him. He felt stronger...no more fear. He felt his emotions shift...and slowly took control of them as well...after some time, he found himself moving quickly and as he did so, also found itself full of joy...of glee...then, as emotion always drives things to, it felt a need to express this joy, to inform everything else of the feeling...
***"Joy"***
...it then stopped briefly...it had just spoke.
It was then that it experienced its first "wondering"...its thoughts wandered through a "path", evidently it had just spoken to the other...for the voices seemed to respond with "joy"...glowing like the warm suns around it...

It felt a need to further this and flew around the massive structure several times...it realized its abilities moreso now...then it sensed a new feeling...

...it was impressed.



That was his new beginning, hes new life full of adventures.

>> Meanwhile on Sanib :
Malcom: Sir, we are picking some unidentified messages.
Kogan:: Lets hear 'em..

*** We... Explore...***
*** We... Search... Others...***

Little One was somehow confused, like there are Others, what are these voices?? We search for them?
He was full of questions, when he managed to use telepathic connection to reply, first thing he asked 'voices' that were talking to him:

***What... We... Seek... (?)***

That is where this ship research begins:

>> Chapter 1:
A new day

>> Location:
Omicron border worlds

After small, and powerless morph was kicked out of strange structure,
he was very confused and scared. After some time, voices explained him most things he need to know,
to start collecting information's on universe, which he will later share with mindshare, and evolve to real Nomad. It was something like mother, who is teaching and watching on her child, who is taking care taking care for him and
making sure he is alright.
Young One was ready to go out, and explore galaxy, but voices advised him to stay, like he needed more knowledge to be safe out there, to be able to take care for himself.
He felt really good near structure, because he felt that 'voices' and structure are making sure he is safe, until he is ready to fly the nest. Yet, 'voices' from structure ware only thing nomad knew so far, so he decided to stay.
For several days, 'voices' were just talking to him, giving him information's on his race, how much pain his race had to suffer... All that make Little One to believe that humans are hunting them, that he need to fight for his, and survival of his race with last atom of straight.

After so much of info's taken, Little One just passed out... He needed some rest..

>> Chapter 2
Deja Vu

>> Location:
Omicron border worlds

While little morph was waking up, from its long sleep, he was acting somehow strange, like he didn’t know where he is, but after several minutes, he was “real” himself, again ready to gain knowledge, like plant that absorbs sun, to grow.

As it seemed, structure was becoming less and less active, after some time,word to word, voices were becoming quieter and quieter.

Suddenly, at one moment, voices stopped talking. Young Nomad felt alone, like he is only one of his kinds in whole, dark and cold universe...
That moment of pain, confusion and loneliness was stopped by a sudden explosion, somewhere within, or outside Nomad Structure.
By today, we still don’t know what caused it.

By the force of impact wave, little morph and Sanib were pushed deeply into asteroid field.
That was too much energy for him to absorb, at one time, and he passed out,like he was damaged.

Meanwhile, on board Sanib.

**
Captain Kogan: What the hell was that?! Bring us to safe distance Ensign, raise shields, and show me damage report!
Malcom: Sir, but raising shields will uncloak us, so Nomad see Us!
Kogan: Dammit, just listen to me once! Raise shields, and move us out of here!
Liz: *confused*
* Jason Grey moves away from his chair, moves towards Liz, he pushes her out of chair *
Liz: What the hell is wrong with you moron..
Jason: Shut it, ensign! Engaging main engines, and thruster. Moving us out of here at maximum speed, Captain.
Kogan: Move us somewhere safe, from reach of radiation, and Nomad.
Kogan: Ensign, next time I see you disobeying direct order, You are off this bridge, and off this ship!
Kogan: Understood?
Liz: Yes, Sir... I wont let you down again..
Jason: I don't want this to happen again. Now, hide us behind some big rock.
Liz: Aye, commander!

**

After some time, little morph again woke up, and Sanib was by that time far away from him, hiding behind big gray asteroid, for some repairs. It was in some strange asteroid field, so they were yet undiscovered by little morph.

At first, little morph, powerless, couldn’t move, he was just floating “dead” in space, whatever he tried to do, he failed.
But he was lucky, if we can call that luck, little nomad was pulled toward thing, that we call jumphole, and as he was getting closer, he was pulled in in new system, much light years away from Nomad Structure, huge and big to explore.

We managed to track him down, we saw that he was pulled into "Tohoku" system.
At first few minutes, he could barely move, and later, we noticed that he went into high speed, he possibly engaged cruise engines somehow, and after some time, we lost track on him.

**

* After several hours... *
Kogan: Mister Linston, how are repairs going?
Linston: Very well, Sir! We could be moving again, for approximately 30 minutes.
Linston: There were many systems damaged, or fried.. Oh, sorry for bothering you. 30 minutes.
Kogan: Alright, no need for apologizing, you are just doing your job! Carry on!
* After one hour *
Liz: Sir, engineers tell me propulsion is back on line!
Jason: Ensign, set curse to Tohoku!
Liz: *Er* Captain?
Kogan: Well dammit, you heard him! He's mine first officer, his word stands as mine!
Liz: Roger, sorry Sir. Moving ship to Tohoku.
Liz: Where should we go, whats Morphs exact location?
Malcom: Try pinpointing hes location by probe, we implanted in him.
Kogan: Probe?! Why wasn't I informed about that?!
Malcom: *confused* Sorry Sir. I planned to tell you, but then something exploded and ... ...
Kogan: ... Get us at least 15K from probes location, ensign Kane.
Liz: Roger, jumping to Tohoku.

**

Little probe, we managed to install under nomads skin earlier, helped us to pinpoint morph location.
He was near structure, that is called “Tekagi’s arch”. That was huge structure, built by humans, that is today used by Wilde, Nomad infested people.


That structure was made by one huge – central rock, where all facilities were located, and 3 smaller ones. There was also one huge “Tube” in middle of central big rock, where lightning and radiation were pretty high. That was in fact huge power generator, used to supply whole station, and nearby 3 outposts with energy.. That rocks were used as support power station, and also radar stations – for fast alert, if any hostile force are approaching for attempt to capture Arch.

While Sanib was slowly approaching Arch, curiosity was stronger then little morph, he wanted to learn more about "Tekagi's arch"..

Chapter 3:
Friendly Faces

Location:
Tohoku System

While little morph was near station, he didnt notice anything alive on it, or near it, but there was still something he was afraid of.
He was still very weak from mysterious explosion that happened near Nomad Object, from where he was born, so he wasnt in such great condition to defend himself.

With much curiosity and caution, he slowly approached main object.
First, he went behind one big, and old asteroid, often used as radar station, he was hiding behind that rock, and just observing territory ahead.

He was very cautious, but yet, he didnt find anything that wound put him in danger, so he moved to other rock, a bit more close to Arch.



Second rock was somehow identical like first one, but this was again somehow different.. .
Little nomad, like he felt something inside it, but he was to weak to be sure what he felt.


In next moment, while he didnt have time to react, there were 2 Wild ships flying near him, and little morph didnt know what to do. From what he knew, he saw 2 Human ships built of metal and materials, that he was tough they are hostile, and need to be avoided or destroyed, but this was even stranger, he felt he is welcome here.

Faith: *** You Ours (?)***

At first several minutes, there was no response at all, it looked like Wild pilots were confused by sudden arrival by little morph.
Morph slowly moved closer to them, like he wanted to explore them better.
*** 'Little Morph'... Here... 'We'... Pleased ***
*** Damaged (?) ***
***( Image of little nomad entering big tube, with many lightnings going from one end tube to other, where that energy will heal morphs wounds, help him regenerate, and return him his straight) ***

When little nomad entered tube, he felt so good, he was in middle of it for long time, barely moving..
Like he was enjoying it.


* Few hours later, Sanib was close to Arch *

**
Malcom: Sir You wont believe this We detect huge fleet of some ships on route to Arch.

*

Ryuku-3:
This is scout wing Ryuku, hailing Flagship Tokinawa.
We've turned off all systems, except life support, as You instructed us. As we were close to arch, we didn't find any major defenses, nor any capital ship, and there were only few patrol wings around Arch. We didn't manage to scan Arch inside, without being noticed.
Tokinawa: This is XO, did you get spotted?
Ryuku-3: Negative.
Tokinawa: Attack has green light, move with your wing to flaking positions!
Tokinawa: Good luck to all proud fighters! For Dragons!

*

Malcom: Wing of ships is moving to fleet... They are kusary design !
Grey: Can you be more precise, Mr Linston?
Malcom: Well what do you think fool, that I wouldnt say precisely if i knew?
Kogan: Malcom, watch on your language..
Kogan: Now, what kind of ships are they?
Malcom: But he is just a Never mind, sorry Captain. We are still too far to take better look at them.
Liz: Ive seen it before, try to scan their cruise trail. It might give us information from what part of Kusary they are.
Kogan: Agreed, do as Liz said.
Malcom: Aye sir, scanning their cruise trail Sir, that is definitely Kusary fleet !
Kogan: Damn it, what are they doing so far from their space Dragons, it must be dragons!
Grey: Are we in scanning range of arch?
Liz: No Sir, not yet.
Grey: Ok, full stop, I have one idea.
Grey: Mister Linston, hail them.
Malcom: But it will reveal our location!
Grey: Dont worry about it, Ill block their scanner.

Liz: Dragon fleet, please come in. This is Order ship Sanib. Please respond.
Tokinawa: Konnichiwa, this is Captain Senichi Hosokoawa. May I ask what is Order doing here, Mister ?
Kogan: My name is Lee Kogan, captain of Sanib. May I first know hat are you planning to do with such huge fleet?
Tokinawa: We will destroy this place, once and for all. They have been raiding our home, and all nearby systems lately.
Tokinawa: Would Order like to help us in this glorious victory?
Kogan: Dont do it Its suicide We would gladly help you to destroy these scums, but we cant take part In this We must follow one morph, that might bring down those blue bastards forever !
Tokinawa: Cowards, well do it on our own then!

**

From that last word, signal broke up, and huge Dragon fleet was quickly approaching Arch.
Big radar rocks, radar stations noticed them at moment they were in close distance to first station.
Quickly, alert fighter and bombers were launched from Arch, making circle around arch, like last line of defense around arch, in front of huge Dragon fleet.

>> Chapter 4:
Darknames... Pain...
>> Location:
Tohoku


As Blood Dragon fleet was making last preparations for assault on Arch, Wilde was making last stand point, it was very likely that Dragons will retake Arch, but you never know with nomads…

As little morph was unable to see what is happening, he sensed many minds, some friendly, and much more unfriendly...
Little morphs regeneration was almost finished, he was near full straight, and ready to explore more systems, to expand knowledge. He had a feeling his journey is coming to end, like he completed his role as morph, he was ready to become something better, stronger, smarter…

Few moments later, morph heard sudden deep male voice, coming from wild ship nearby:

“Little one, you must go now… We will give you all our knowledge on these Kusari systems, just hoping that you will find our home easier…
* At that moment, there were much images shown to morph, images of systems, tactics, most Wild knowledge was transferred to him *
Now go, Little One, we have to defend our home, our place, our ground…
There is no need for you to get hurt…
I hope we will meet again. “

As little morph heard that, first he wanted to stay, to help his people against humans, but he also had respect to better then him, so he just slowly moved away from arch, like he didn’t want to be spotted.

While little morph, wasn’t able to see cloaked ship, he knew they are there. He was able to sense their thoughts; he knew what they were planning, and what their mission was.

While morph was far far away, unable to see, or feel Sanib, Order Cruiser uncloaked, and joined Dragon assault force, and helped them in forming attack on Arch.
But after all, Wilde wasn’t so unprepared, they had a bunch of intercept fighters and bombers around arch, it looked like they are ready to push every force that tries to invade back, make them retreat.

Wild was aware of Sanib much longer before they uncloaked, because of sophisticated Wild-Nomad scanners, on those rocks, that have ability to scan for very long distance, and even scan uncloaked ships!

**
Kogan: Dragon leader, we will help you in this one... We've seen enough dead, we want to get rid of this scums!
Tokinawa: Aah, I am glad that you changed your mind! You aren't cowards after all!
Tokinawa: Take position near Tokinawa, that server us well in fighting with Wilde in years now.
Kogan: I just hope everything will go as planned...
Liz: Moving us in position near Dragon Flagship, as ordered.
Grey: Agreed, but Dragon leader, may We see your plan of attack?
Tokinawa: Roger, Captain of our warship will send you plans!
Tokinawa: Good Luck to you, Captain!

**

After all preparations were made, assault began…
It was something like, back down at Nomad Wars, when Edison Trent with small group of Dragons retook Arch, something similar was happening today...

It seemed that Dragons overgunned Wilde with much greater firepower, they had 1 Battleship-Flagship, few cruisers, and much smaller crafts, fighters, bombers… But even if Wilde didn’t have any ship bigger then bomber, odds were on their side, they had much better coordination, what was crucial in bigger combats.

As Faith jumped to new system, Dragon forces were already near Arch, fighting much small Wilde crafts… After some time, odds turned into Wilds advantage, after Flagship was destroyed, by yet unknown force... By that moment, that battle was won by Wilde, but there is still war raging in Sirius, where both Wilde and Nomads are in danger of extinction.

*
There were heavy looses on Dragon side, they ships were going down like flies... Something was going on on those asteroids nearby, they didn't sit there for nothing. Just later, we realized, they are some new Nomad weapon platforms, never seen by Human eyes before... They were much powerful that anything Sirius has ever seen... But they couldn't be moved from Arch, because they eat much of energy...
When Dragon Flagship was destroyed, next target was Sanib...

There were also heavy looses onboard Sanib, Captain Kogan was heavily wounded, by explosion of console nearby. There were before 65 people, soldiers, and scientist and civilians proudly walking on this ship, now half of them are dead… Many of lives, and families destroyed, and for what… Just to catch one pity morph…

*

**
Liz: Captain, we are taking heavy fire, what should we do?
…
Liz: Captain? *Turns around*Captain?!

* Captain was sitting in his chair, he wasn’t moving *

Grey: Damn it, check if he is alive.
Crewman: Sir, I got his pulse! He is breathing!
Grey: Ah crap… Take him to medical, Now !
Grey: Mister Linston, note in ships log: Jason Gray, first captain of Sanib, is taking command due captain is wounded.
Linston: Noted, what are your orders, Sir?
Grey: Hm… This don’t look good… Looks like Dragons are retreating.
Liz: Sir, they are hailing us. Establishing comms.
Dragon: This is too much… We cant fight that kind of force… We need to retreat!
Grey: Damn it, we lost much people because of this! And then you just want to leave?!
*At the moment Grey said that, something big hit Sanib, making ship float dead in space*
Grey: Damn it, what the hell was this?!
Malcom: Some kind of weapon, very powerful… It knocked out our shields…
Dragon: This shouldn’t be like this… All dragon forces, make sure Sanib is out of Arch’s range!

* As dragon ships were trying to escort Sanib out, more of them died... They fought like real heroes… *

Dragon: They are taking us down fast, come on, get out of there!
Liz: Almost there, almost there, just a little more… … Yes, we are out of their disruptor range!
Grey: Full power to hull integrity, provide those dragons with covering fire!
Malcom: Aye Captain…
Grey: "Captain"… I hope i wont be captain of Sanib very long, i liked old man, Kogan, i just hope he will be fine. Set course to Ryuku, make sure dragons are behind us!
Liz: Setting course… Dragon leader, dock damaged ships to Sanib, others take flaking positions and follow our lead. We are moving you to Ryuku.
Dragon: Hai! Arigato… For all… We wont forget this…
Dragon: Dragon Leader Out!

* After unloading much Dragon damaged ships, and many wounded Dragon pilots, at Ryuku base, Sanib started searching for its little specimen, morph designated as Faith. *

Liz: I am worried about Captain…
Grey: He is good strong men! He will be ok!
Malcom: Meanwhile, we have a mission to accomplish… I’ve traced morphs signal to system designated as “Hokkaido”… What should we do… … Sir?
Grey: Follow him!
Liz: Course to Hokkaido set, maximum speed!
**

Ensign Liz looked somehow disorientated, like she is somehow confused, and busy with other things and stuff…
Crew compliment was now 40 crewmen, many of them were wounded… Hospital was full of men and women, ships corridors were damaged, some were under fire, other were unpressurized…
But ship was still holding together, it was ship that experienced many battles, many happy, and many sad moments…

As Sanib was closing Hokkaido jumphole, everyone felt that their mission is slowly coming to an end, that they will soon be home, with their friends, families, people they care for…

>>Chapter 5:
Control
>>Location:
Hokkaido

When Sanib finally made it to Hokkaido jumphole, and jumped, morph was far far away from their position. When Wilde pilot told him that he must go, to survive, he also got maps of all Kusary systems, he knew all tricks, all nebulaes in every system, this became his playground now.
He had something in mind, some brilliant plan that will help him to get advantage under his enemies.
As little morph was slowly growing up, so were his skills growing. He was unable to see cloaked ship, but he is able to sense them, sense their minds, know what their plan is, what their mission is...

They made 2 shifts - one with Grey in command, other with Linston in command.
Acting Captain Grey went to see hows Captain Kogan doing in sickbay, and later he went to his room.
Bridge, and ship, was under control of First Officer Malcom Linston.
Just 30 minutes ago, Malcom took command of bridge, until people from 1st shift get some rep.Everyone who is under Malcom's bridge command, had few hours to rest..
While Grey was in command, Liz went to take quick nap... When she lied down in bed, she felt a sleep that moment...

*
When she was asleep, young morph felt her presence, like she was able to feel what she is thinking, like she wasn't that strong to push him out of her mind..
Morph started convincing her, that all crew of Sanib is against her, like they want to remove her from ship...
*

**

*** Humans... Weak... We... Stronger... ***
*** 'Messenger'... With... Us... Raise... Learn... 'Darknames, Destroy' ***
*** Explore... 'Dark Side'... Mind... Accept... Us... ***
*** We... Greater... Explore... Survive... 'Darknames' fall... We.. Rise ***

*** ( Image of Liz shutting down all power on Sanib, and going to sickbay, with gun loaded ) ***
*** ( To survive, you must move above your mind... Explore the light, find yourself... ) ***
*** ( Enter sickbay, and kill Lee Kogan, Human Captain ) ***

**

*
That moment young Liz woke up, she was terrified... She thought it was just a dream, that she is dreaming just because she is under huge stress... She just tried to forget it, but images of Captain Kogan murdered, and she standing above him with gun, just didn't want to go away. She went to do her shift at bridge, it was somehow late in night...
*


That was one of those night shifts, where lower-ranked officers have chance to prove themselves...
This was one of that cold nights aboard Sanib, corridors were damaged and empty, and lights were turned to minimum, to save as much power as possible, because core was damaged...

That night, in command was Malcom Linston, and as always, by helm was sitting Liz Kane.
Everything should go smooth, its that one of easy assignments, just keep ship traveling in one spot, and if there are any problems, call superior officer.
Situation on bridge was somehow dead, no one did talk anything, everyone was just quiet, and thinking about battle that happened...

Meanwhile, outside in space, Little One was on its way to explore one planet, which was in one big nebula.
Little morph was advancing through giant nebula, like he is trying to find right spot
Suddenly, in the middle of strange orange nebula, morph stopped, like he was thinking something, and after some time, he slowly went a bit further into nebula.

Malcom was new to captains chair, he wasn't that experienced, at first he was confused, he didn't know what to do, he just sit there, and watch on view-screen.
He was afraid to call for superior officer, because Grey didn't like him so much, he would use this, to make him look bad. While other bridge-crew members were pushing him, telling him what to do:
Order us to follow him, Sir! [color=#FF0000]
Don't do anything what Captain Grey wouldn't do!
Do you want me to call Grey?

When he heared his crew mates rushing him, he watched Liz for minute, and then he just whispered "yes", like he was approving her to follow him.

Little one was up to something. Deeply, into nebula, with much of strange orange particles floating around, sensor readings went mad! He issued order for full stop.
As those orange particles went into engine tubes, he couldn't stop ship, ship was still moving slowly, deeper and deeper into nebula. Malcom was confused, but he manage to pull it together, and he called Grey:
Sir, sorry for waking you up, but we have .... some.... probl.... As signal was braking up, power, lights and other ship systems were slowly going offline.


Few seconds after, one voice, mixture of male and female voice, very deep, broke that silence.
That message was heard all through the ship, from bridge to engineery.

*** We... Know... 'Metal.Skin'... Follow...***
*** Darkname... Follow... Darkname... Death... ***
*** Leave... Us... Go...'You'... Safe ***

Little nomad was for first time feeling happy, and excited, because he was dominating the situation, he was holding that ship under his control, and all over one Human aboard, who served as messenger - little morph instructed him what to do, through voices and visions. Messenger managed to silently knock out most of ships primary systems, without anyone noticing it.

At that moment, Captain Kogan just woke up, he was alright, just like before accident at Bridge.
Grey was stuck at his quarters, he couldnt get out of them.
Other important staff was at bridge, trying to restore main ship systems.

Messenger managed to leave main bridge, without being noticed by anyone, because bridge staff was too busy trying to restore backup systems back online, but systems just didn't want to restore, like something was blocking them, that didn't allow them bridge crew to raise them up.
After Malcom saw, that sitting on bridge wont do anything good, he assembled small assault team, that should find what is blocking backup systems to restore, and hopefully, restore power to the ship. When they managed to turn on few flashlights, they realized that someone was missing young Ensign Liz.

**
Malcom: Liz? *Looks at all spots of bridge* Liz?! Where are you?!

* Malcom searched all bridge, from small support rooms, to captain room, but she wasn't there...*

Malcom: This cant be happening... Anyone seen her?

* Silence is on the bridge... *

Malcom: Damn it, I wont ask again! Anyone seen her?!
Crewman: No, Sir... Nobody seen her... All sensors are offline, so we cant see when did she leave.
Malcom: Wait, I'll try local comms. * BEEP BEEP *
" Main bridge to Liz, can you hear us?
Come on, help us, that we can help you...
Where are you? * silence * "
Malcom: Still no response... What the hell is happening here...
Malcom: You three... You are with me, lets search the ship!

* At that moment, little team of 3 people left bridge, heading into dark... *

**

While whole ship was stuck, floating dead in space, without any kind of power, except flashlights, and poor hand-blaster powercells, people got stuck in their rooms, because automatic doors wouldn't open, and manual override didn't work for some strange reason too.

Captain Kogan managed somehow to get out of sickbay, he felt confused, what the hell happened here, alone, no one was there in that dark and cold place, except him.
After he saw no one was there, he sensed someone is closing him, so he started running. It was dark, he didnt know where he is going, he just tried to get the hell away from dark, and find some light.

Messenger, who was now far away from bridge, was silently walking through dark ships corridors, unnoticable by anyone who was there. It was walking perfectly, like someone was guiding it, simply walking across every obstacle on floor, it even didn't make any sound while walking across dead bodies of crew mates.

Meanwhile, outside in space, little morph was circling around ship, trying to find right angle to blast that ship to hell. While circling, he was instructing Liz what to do.
Captain Kogan managed to move away few decks from sickbay, but person who was following him, was on his tail.
Grey managed to get out of his quaters somehow, and on his way to bridge, he spotted Malcom, with his 3-men team, who was trying to find someone.

**
Grey: Well what the hell happend here?! Why didn't you wake me up?!
Malcom: Shut up, you fool! We have no time to waste! I am thinking Liz have to do something with all this..
Malcom: After all power was gone, and bridge was in dark, Liz just disappeared from bridge. We still don't know where she is, we hailed her, there was no response... And sensors are offline, so we can't locate her.
And we think she somehow sabotaged Sanib.
Grey: LIZ?! What can that small ensign do?!
Grey: Well I've knew her for long time, until she left city, where i've met her. She wouldn't harm her friends...
Malcom: Maybe she wouldn't, but what if something is controlling her... Using her...

* They both stood up there for few moments, and then shouted in same voice! *

Grey & Malcom: Captain!
Grey: They... She... Or whatever that thing is... Are after Captain Kogan !!
Malcom: Lets go, we must find him... Before that thing do...

* At that moment, Grey, Malcom, and other 3 bridge officers ushed to sickbay, but when they came, they found doors wide open *

Grey: Captain... He's not here!
Malcom: Lets hope for the best... If I were him, I would continue down there * points finger *
Grey: I hope you are right... Lets go!
**

On the other part of ship, Kogan was still running in one direction, every few meters, he was stopping and looking back.
At one moment, he hit something with leg, and felt down on floor...
Unknown person was standing in front of him, he was only able to see eyes, with help of weak light.
For a moment, silence broke deep, and somehow young, female voice:
If leader is gone, people don't have a person who gives order, and whole system brake apart.
If leader is gone, opposite side is victorious.
When leader is gone, we will be victorious.
After these words, unknown person stepped out of dark, and came to brighter light It was Ensign Liz Kane. Morph was telling her what to do...

*** (Image of young ensign picking gun from dead body... Reloading it... ) ***
*** ( Aim for Kogan, human Captain, and kill him )***

She put whole clip in poor captain, he just rolled on floor.
When Grey and Malcom heard that, they both rushed to corridor where they've heard gunfire.
They saw Liz, holding pistol, and still aiming for captain.

When Sanib started movig to open space, en route to Omicron Minor, morph was long gone...
Long gone to big, open space... To explore more, until he is ready to become something better...

>> Chapter 6:
Reunion
>> Location:
Omicron Borderworlds

After many and many and many months of exploring, as Humans call it, Sirius sector, little morph somehow ended close to place where his life started. Now it was inactive, alien structure, where he was born, where his journey began.

Several weeks ago, while Sanib was heavily damaged, by a saboteur, few small fighters were launched, to track Morph, and if possible, to kill it, once and for all. That were 3 honorable people... Garry Shepard, Emily Mariott, and third was Blood Dragon pilot, who stayed on Sanib, after unsuccessful attack on Arch.B y today, we still dont know what happened with them, last transmission from wing leader was received when Sanib was from somewhere within Omicrons, that they are heavily damaged, and they are searching for a friendly base for repairs.

Morph, now, was much more experienced, larger; he knew what point of his existence is.
While he was exploring Sirius, he met people; we can put in 3 groups:
Some wanted to experiment on him, second ran away moment they saw it, and third wanted him dead.

But morph managed to adapt, it managed to take advantage of hostile forces, to survive.
When it was near Omicrons, voices in him were becoming stronger, like they were guiding him.
They were guiding him home, like after long trip, now he felt like part of them, part of something bigger. That moment he became part of, what we call, Mindshare, with much information shared, with many of them, as one mind.

For some time he was confused, with quantity of information shared through Mindshare, but after little time, he managed to locate where source of Mindshare is, it was so strong it was luring him towards it. When he entered that system, where Power Node was, first thing he saw was Human ship, made of metals, polymers, with human weapons attached... From previous encounters with that kind of humans, he suspected worse.
But it was just opposite, that Human, so called Arthur Dgahr, was also part of Mindshare, but at the other hand, he was human too.

Arthur explained him what was his story, that there are more like him, working with his kind. Arthur showed morph around, explained him more facts about his specie, what are they trying to preserve, save, how they build civilizations, and humans destroy them.

At that point he realized all humans are threat, that needs to be killed, or that humans need to get away from their ground, Sirius system.
Arthur showed him path to the others, other Nomads. When he found them, he felt that he is finally truly home, that no one can hurt him. He felt safe; he felt that he is part of something bigger...

At that moment, all information morph collected, were shared with Mindshare, big quantity of information was shared with others, and they all felt that morph was ready to become something better, he was ready to evolve to something better.

Morph was now part of them, was ready to defend his civilization, to build, explore and expand, to contribute to his civilization.

He was with them, forever as one.
