The space around Yaren was quiet for once, though off in the distance a battle between Bounty hunters and Corsairs could be seen, She stood on the bridge, watching, her eyes closed. She opened them at the sound of closeing footsteps
Communication Officer: Ma'am, we have recieved no word from either darkstar or Virus, they don't seem to be here, I hacked the Comm logs of Mactan and this was the latest one found.
He handed her a data pad.

My lords, An attack was untaken tonight on Willard Station in the Liberty system of
California. This was led by Avenger in a Cruiser class ship and was supported by
Reaper and myself flying fighter escort.
This operation was run out of Yaren base in O-Delta and a trail of destruction was
left across Liberty before the final offensive on the base was undertaken.
The fighters dealt with considerable numbers of defending forces, though their ship
strength was no match for our fully armoured craft. While the space battle raged
The Avenger clamped onto the base and a Marine force was despatched to a lab
deep inside. I believe they encountered considerable resistance. The target of the
operation, a number of the prototypes were recovered, and our forces left with no
casualties.
These are now on route to Ryuku for your immediate attention.
Another considerable success for our forces
Glock
MESSAGE ENDS:
Sephiroth: Busy bees arn't we, hmm no matter, the phantoms are of little consiquence, as long as they keep the house's busy, keep there eyes fixed appon them.
The comm officer snapped his boots together, bowed and walked away. she turned back around, the battle had died out, and the remains of a Bountyhunter cruiser where all that was visiable.
I think ill start my search in Kusari, with such rapid development in computer technology, they must have some clue, and might be a good area to look around for a bit.
The Isis moved around the far side of the planet the Yaren orbited, as they rounded the small world, She closed her eyes and clenched her fist. Flames flickering white blue and green erupted around her fist, then as in throwing a base, she released it twords the bridges window.
It past strait through and on into space, it then exploded into a temperal Jumphole. she turned around......
Sephiroth: Helm, move us in stead on through.
The crew did as he was told, they pasththrough and where met byt the cylinder of light common to Jump travel, moments later, in a brilliant flash of light they where in Sigma-19, and the jumphole was gone....

As soon as Sephiroth's ship made transit, they got sensor ghosts. Normal pings from far-off ships, and one ghost that was much closer. Quite expectedly, the "ghost" opened communications.
"Well well, Lady Chancellor. I was just on my way to find you." DarkStar's disturbing smile split his features as he leaned back in his command chair.
"I apologize for being late. It took a little longer then expected to get eveything else ready. Fortunetly, since most of the AW are out searching for you, we should be relativly safe." He spread his hands.
"So, how can the Phantom Empire be of service, my lady?"
The Battlestar remained cloaked, wary still of detection. It's advanced ECM running full tilt, covering any sensor emissions that they didn't already hide. It also hid Sephiroth's ship, so that they might both be undetected.
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
Darkstar waited for a reply, but none came over the Comm, he looked puzzled for a moment, she had wanted to meet him, so why wasn't she talking.
Then, very faintly there was a noise, un reckognizeable for a moment, then as it grew louder began to sound like nails on a chalkboard. Showing a high tolerance to the noise he kept his cool, though he noticed that none of the other crew where effected, just him.
It soon became to painful, and he slaped his hands over his ears to try and dull the noise, but it was in his mind, noone but him could here it, he closed his eyes, his head felt as though it was going to explode, and in an instant it was silent.
He felt a hot breeze, and the smell of sulfer, smoke and the all to familiar smelll of Burnt flesh.
" You can open your eyes now...."
A voice came from in front of him, a female voice, sturn and cold, Darkstars eyes opened to a burning Ruin, buildings and vehicals strewn about in battered heaps, bodys buried in the rubble corpse's scattered through out the street, he new this place, it was manhattan, or at least what was left of it.
Sephiroth:I trust you know your own peoples work do you not...
Darkstar, walked slowly around looking at the bodies, there faces contorted in eternity of pain, results of the Nerve agent delievered, he grinned then turned.
Darkstar:Yes I do, whats the meaning of all this, im a very busy...
She chuckled a bit then continued to stare down the street. Having little time for jokes or humor he raised his voice.
Darkstar: Listen, Ma'am, If you have something to say then say it, if not Im getting the F--- out of here i have better things to do.
She turned twords him and crossed her arms over her chest.
Sephiroth:You know, to some races patience is a virtue, but since your in such a hurry, then ill tell you, First I know that you, and your fellow teammates a very good, at getting into places you shouldn't be, I want you to infiltrate the House millitarys and major trade companys, I want to know if they now of a Site in space of a large grouping of alien ruins.
Darkstar looked puzzled, why did she want him to look for Ruins, there where ruins all over sirrus, what was wrong with any of those.
Sephiroth:I'd like to have the Asgard warriors, and any of those who stand with them delayed as well, My children are gathering for another attack, and I can't spare a single ship to go after these fools.
There was a pause as she turned back down the street.
Sephiroth:Do these task's for me and I will give you what you have always dreamed of Darkstar, more power then you can ever imagine......
She began to circle him walking sideways and staring at him, with a eveil smirk.
Darkstar:How can you promise something like that, sure your strong but no human can conjour all of sirrus, Give me the knowledge of who, or what you are then ill consider it..
She smiled for a moment then stopped, she laughed then crossed her arms....
Sephiroth: So, you want to know what I am, and what my destiny is, ha, sure why not, ill show you.
She walked straight up to him, and waved her hand infront of his face, and the instant it passed, manhattan was changed into what looked llike a ruined lab, tables, Test tubes, and all sorts of science equipment laid strewn out on the floors and on tables, along the far side was a pair of broken glass containers, large enough to hold people.
Sephiroth walked over to a tabel where a moldy old book laid open, it was a journal, she flipped through to the beging, and began to read aloud.
Sephiroth:March 25, 765AS, Here on planet Sprauge, we have found a createure in suspended animation, for the Rock layer it was buried in it's safe to say that its been here for at least seventy five million years.
March 26, 765AS, Investigation of the creature has begun, its phisical development suggests that it is a female, though it has no repruductive organs. Interesting news from Gerald from Genetics, he says that there is over five hundred DNA fragments from other creatures found through out sirrus very interesting indeed.
March 28, 765AS, Took scans of the creatures ceribral Cortex, found that its brain copassity is massive, nearly twenty times that of a normal person, and from the electro activity in the brain it seems the creature is alive and well, the boys in the Lab have crissened the Creature " Jenova ", named after the head scientist Richard Jenova.
March 29, 765AS, A breakthrough with jenova today, we've found that she has telekinetic, and telepathic abilities, never before seen in a creature, we also found that even in its Comma like state, its recklessly controling energy fields, and draining our lab instruments of power.
April 2, 765AS, Air Marshall Adolf Guring, with direct orders from the Rheinland chanceller has ordered our hole operation to be moved to Omega-15, this is outrageous, we have very delicate equipment and if the speicem gets damged during the Trip, our hole project could be over before it trully begins.
April 20, 765AS, Well if I though things where bad, they've gotem worse, half my team as been replaced by millitary genetic engeenires, they been messing with Jenova alot, takeing large samples of blood and DNA, and taking them else were.
April 22, 765AS, How could this have happened, there injecting these children with Jenova cells, There just orphans, but they don't diserve this, and what makes it more vile and disgusting is that, those who reject the Alien DNA are spaced into the nearby planet, Ive got to do something.
April 26, 765AS, They've discovered that radiation effects the Jenova DNA, but how, it normally kills living tissue, no matter, theve Gone to the next level, Annete Pryde, one of the Assistants working here, these rat bastards Injected the Jenova DNA straight into the Unborn Fetus, my god this is the last straw, Im going to kill this creature and the Rheinland bastards that are here
Not much time, Jenova, shes been stolen, there where these weird creatures all over the station, purpleish blue they tried to take here in one of there ships, but there was a jumphole, or something and the container vanished, or exploded i don't know, all i know is there isn't much time, most of the Assistant personel are already gone Ive got to get to the
The rest of the pages where blank, she folded the book together then placed it back on the table, then looked back at darkstar.
Darkstar:That women annete, thats your mother wasn't it, and that means that you where the one injected
she smiled " Mother was physical perfection, as well as mental perfection......"
She turned around...
Sephiroth:Mothers to weak now to lead her children, But I am not, and in order to continue her legasy I must have my Reunion, then I can call forth the Hypergates, and bring the collamity from the sky, and dissolve the Human race from my childrens home.
Darkstar was stunned, he had grand plans, but this, this was way out of his league, If she opened hypergates in every House and in the border worlds, then no living thing would survive.
Darkstar: And whats to stop someone from closing the Gates once there open, i mean all it takes is one well placed fusion explosion to colapse one of those.
She smiled, " Thats where the guardians come into play, there are five of them, one to guard each gate, there size dwarfs even the grandest Battleship, once there awakened, they will be no living thing to stop them, but enough of this, great things come from small deeds, do as i ask and i will make sure you and your freinds play a pivital part in the Reunion.
After several moments, he reluctantly agreed, after exchanging there goodbyes, he was returned to his captains chair. He looked around, everyone was doing there task's as normal, not even aware of what had happened. Looking out his view port, he noticed the Isis was gone, though he could shake the fealing he wasn't alone.
Darkstar: Communication officer, get a channel to Virus, we have a problem.....

Virus leaned forward in his chair. "I'll take it in my quarters." Virus stood and walked through the door, which opened in front of him and closed behind him. He sat down again behind his desk as a view screen appeared in the wall. Plastered on it was DarkStar's visage.
He bowed his head slightly then leaned back in the chair, "Yes, Lord?"
Sensors were deactivated inside Korrd's reading room.
The fighter attached to the hull remained undetected to ship's sensors. Good, the crew wont even know that im bringing him here.
In the cockpit of the misterious fighter, the pilot was there, waiting to be "beamed up".
How can he beam me up if my cloak blocks transporter beams? He thought..
He didnt see it comming. At a moment he was on the cockpit of his ship, there was a flash of light, a shake, and then coldness, and then everything was normal again. And after that he was standing on Korrd's ready room.
Korrd didnt beam him up with the ship transporters. He bring him to the ship by pulling him through subspace.
Korrd --Dont worry, you will get used to that if we agree to work together. Because, if im not mistaken, that is what you have in mind...
The pilot made a sudden movement...
Korrd --Dont look for your weapons. I didnt bring them here. And even if i would, those would be useless here as this room... well, the whole ship... has a dampening field that absorbs energy from weapons.
(If you find any mistake in my English, please let me know via a PM)
(Really, I speak terrible English, so please, tell me if I make mistakes. I'd like to improve it a bit )
Dab: Communications send a call to the Defender and ask where its current location is. Then seet course for that position, and inform them of our arrival.
Jonathan Nice trick. Funny tho.. I don't carry energy weapons. Nontheless, we need to talk abou this problem. The Chancellor seems to be calling herself Sephieroth now.. And she's far more powerful than anyone in Sirus.
Korrd Yes. That troubles me. Even with all the power I have, I don't think i can reach into her mind enough to bring Kristy Pryde back to the surface. Let alone be able to fight her. I may have to consult the elders before I can interfere...
Jonathan Nontheless, you must keep Dab as far away from this as possible. If he interferes or does something rash, he will die. Or worse yet, he'll prevent me from any chance of recovering her.
Korrd I will see what I can do. I do have to ask, however, what it is that make syou think you can survive a fight with her?
Jonathan Leave that to me. There are certain things that may have to happen in order for me to fight her, but I'm hoping I won't have to do any of this...
Before he could finish his sentence, he was transported back to his fighter.
Bloody hell.. i never get to finish my sentences.. heh...

Meanwhile, an unmarked black Sabre slips out of the New York Zone-21 minefield. Just a black shadow on a violet-black background... the pilot acted on some unknown call he was not hearing... he more like felt it.
The turrets on Battleship Missouri fired a few shots at the Sabre. Missed.
"Oops! Too close, careless, unthoughtfull" thought Nightfall and evaded the second salvo with ease kicking his cruise engines and dissapearing into the nearby debris field before anyone could scramble a posse.
He couldn't explain it, he just knew he has to be in Kusari space...
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons.

Her office was quiet, she was leaning back in her chair, with her eyes closed, staying in contact with one of her children far away in the Britonian Area.
" Alert a Nomad fighter is now in the Tau-31 area....." He was trailing a TG Liner through the Tau areas, she thought it was funny to herass them, humans are so much fun when they panick.
Minutes later she was pursuing it to Leeds, Distrupting the Trade lane where ever possible, she knew a single nomad Fighter was not strong enough to handle any kind of ship larger then a freighter on its own...
" This is the Sirrus Federation, where at leeds, come to us and we will protect you...."
Ahh the Sirrus Federation, was barely holding together, and now held house in leeds, as she approached the planet a Gunboat and battleship lay in wait for ther liner..
Hmm, we'll scan them then leave, no point in trying to attack them now
The small nomad ship scanned the Gunboat and battleship, logged there equipment and cargo, then left for the Magellan JH, a Asgard Warrior and one of his freinds just showed up, time to pay a visit......

Major Alpha with his 282nd wingmate came flying around from behind Leeds. 2 Hours ago while on the Ableben he had been contacted by Nightfall who said that he thought that the chancellor was in Kusari and that he was to gather some pilots and make sure that she didnt leave by obvious routes. He then called up a fair amount of the 282nd pilots that were on the Ableben and, using the star chart of Sirius in his head sent a number of them to each of the "logical" routes out of Kusari. He already had men in Tau 31 but that was as far as they could go without TG permission so that would have to do. He and his wingmate were flying to Tau 23 where they would, hopefully be able to slip by TG patrols and enter Kyushu and begin searching there for the Chancellor. But just now as they got closer to the lone nomad fighter something didnt feel right.
Major Alpha: Echo 1 slow down, something about this fighter doesnt feel right.
Echo 1: Sir why are we not engaging?
Major Alpha: Doesnt it seem odd that after the hypergate was opened in New York and thousands of nomads rushed out and gutted the place, yet now in Leeds we see one fighter not even a wing of them. I think there is more to this fighter than meets the eye, and the scanner.
Echo 1: So we are not going to attack?
Major Alpha: No we will let the SF deal with it but if it wants a fight let it come to us.
Echo 1: Very well sir.
As the 2 raven claws slowly got closer the Major sat and watched this suspicious little fighter fly around evading fire all on its own and very out of place.
