The Un-Veiling

[Leo]

I stared ahead at what they called "Sirius". Such an interesting race, so much like our own back then. Back before things changed.

"Orders sir." said the young Zeta at the helm.

"Begin the sequence, but to not engage."

Their planet was dangerous to our health.

That was what our leading scholars had said. The many deaths of the monsters had lead their blood to have dangerous abilities, one of which including being toxic to both the atmosphere and land if allowed to seep out in mass quanities. There was only one way to escape this place...we had to find their stockpile. We had to find their escape plan. The escape plan they had in place incase we rebeled.

That's what you call irony.

It took us a few days to discover it near their capital city. The planet was large and dangerous, scattered around were monsters and plants that were quite hazardous to our health. But after only a few days, we had located it. We turned on the lights in the bay and ship after ship after ship was illiminated. They had enough ships to send their entire race into space. They knew we would one day rebel against them, we had simply caught them off guard. Guards exited out of every doorway including the one from behind us. Those poor souls.

Poor poor souls.

We engaged the enemy with horrendus violence and blood rage. With in a few hours, all of the guards were dead. We had lost several of our people, but we all said a silent prayer to our god and began to tear apart the plans scattered throughout the bay. We figured out how to start the ships, but could not discover how to get them off the ground. We were stuck, without a plan...we were trapped like rats on this world...doomed to die from the atmosphere collapsing...and that is when I had a sudden thought.

"You." I said pointing at a nearby Zeta. "Scour their database, look for anything about our technology before we were enslaved. There should be some data on us in there. Locate a electromagnitic pulse diagram. You." I said pointing at another Zeta. He stood up with pride. "Locate the starter system in these ships and prepare for my mark." He nodded curtly and ran off into one of the ships. I smiled, we would escape this hellhole yet.

"Found it my Lord." said the woman at the computer. I walked up beside her and hugged her with one arm. "You did it!" I said with a laugh. She could only smile as I began to direct the automated system to put together the drive. As it did we removed the other drive out of the vessel, suprisingly similar to our own with key adjustments to it. As the system completed designing our new drive, we compared the two...they were strikingly similar.

"Try and start the altered version the way we do ours." I said and someone reached out and focused his energy. As he did so, the drive spooled up and began to run. I laughed. "Put that old one back in the ship, we're getting the hell out of here!"

A day later we were jumping away from our prision, and into what we could only hope was a better life...

...if we only knew what waited for us in the great unknown. If we only knew.
