(This is, just so you know, the story i'm putting behind a little something i'm doing for DarkStar at the moment. Reply if you want, but keep in mind that there may be some more chapters after this)

Julius Kane, A.K.A DarkStar, made a slight gesture with his hand, and the system map in front of him pulled away. Floating suspended in the Life Support moduel of his ship, he watched as the strange, dagger-like pillers of black rock loomed up out of the purple cloud. The blue glow of his ship didn't do anything to offset the purple light that filtered in all around him. He sighed contentedly. I love this place. So dark, mysterious, it's such a wonder! And with a good home not far away, there's always time to hit and run. Speaking of home... He dropped a nav marker on Buffalo Base, and let the simple brain of his personal Nomad Fighter carry him there. He then lay back and relaxed, floating gently in the life-sustaining liquid that filled the capsule.

*AT LAST. ONE WE CAN TALK TO* The mental words resounded throughout Julius' skull. His eye's snapped open, and he looked about for hostile ships. His own sensors showed nothing, even on the long range scanners.
"He- Hello?"
*YOU ARE THE ONE WE MUST TALK WITH. COME TO OMICRON THETA. WE SHALL TELL YOU MORE.*
"Who are you!?" *COME TO OMICRON THETA...* The last echo's receaded from his mind, and Julius suddenly felt a presence leave the area. Whatever that was, it was now expecting him in Theta.

"I must be out of my f*cking mind..." He canceled his cruise drives, and the nav marker, and placed a new one that would take him to Omicron Theta. "All right, let's see what this mystery thing wants." The nomad ship pivoted and started to head on a new course; To Omicron Theta.
