Epsilons Return, Forthcoming of Retribution..
"She has returned... Only gravely injured, she isn't the same. I intercepted a wide spread ping in Frankfurt from a vessel i found in Omicron Mu a few days back. They, with the pain they have given to both of us, returned her in a state that not even i can repair. I want vengeance, i wish for retribution to take its form and act against the forces of the Order, their efforts have gravely made them a new force to be reckoned with. I will, so openly hand them the death they want from the warriors life they live by on the end of a burning sword, cast them in to the depths into the same pain they have caused me, and forever hold their name in blame even after "Epsilons" return."
Frankfurt was quiet, The Order cruiser Tombstone barely made a disturbance. But from the distance, a quaint little wraith started to approach the Tombstones position, maintained its radio silence, it reached a distance of 5 klicks before it stopped.
The cruiser sat there ideally, as if half expecting something to happen.
The pilot, fully suited and masked unzips his suit, taking out a neck-piece. A neck chain that holds a single circuit card; its dull, lifeless and seemingly empty. It contains a hollow center that seems to be missing something.
The captain merely dropped a box into space from the cargo bay before it turned and began to leave. Before he could react, the cruiser began to vend some kind of odd mist into the space around it before it was invisiable and gone.
He unshielded his ship, and begins to tractor in the container. As he finishes the process, moves to his cargo hold and approaches the container. Forcefully opening it, gripping holding the card in his hand.
Zeal's entire...whatever was left that is..was in it
Her hologram was damaged, he could see it as he waved his hands over the empty streams that should be filled with code, as she slept he held the card so close to her head. The card gently glowed, her hologram started to glitch and was suddenly shut off, but the Chip grew brighter.
He moves back to the front of the cockpit, as he places the card on the ground, as he waves his hand over it, the card starts to hover before having the known holographic figure emerging. Enfield seems to look the the ground in disgust and guilt. "I'm... I'm sorry..." 'Zeal' stares blankly at him. "I'm sorry i was so careless... I wanted you to be yourself... apart from me, living your own time." She continues to stare blankly... "What have they done... My dear so sweet Epsilon, hath they no mercy for those who are not of their own kind?" She bends down to her knees as she picks up his metal hand, feeling its surface, staring at it.
The comms come back online and there is a only sound "Her emotions were stolen Geoff..I hope you can live with that.."
He looks into the eyes of 'Zeal', as he moves her face to look to him. "Cold as they have turned you, for the darkest of times that we have seen, we've yet to perish in this unrelenting space, i sought to bring you truly back... But i will have my vengeance, and they will have their judgement" He gives her a hug, but unknowingly what to do, the hologram just sits there and accepts it, without knowing what to return.
Theres the sound of a smirk and the echoing foot steps of someone walking away "Remember this Geoff..." The foot steps stopped and the voice spoke again..it was not Kelly.. "Alone. Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym." There was a smirking sound again "You both will know the true pain of being alone..and we don't even need to move a hand to do it this time.." the link dies soon after "To an extent that they have changed you. do you not see yourself?" 'Zeal' looks at her hands and arms, then at his, as she tries to copy the action. "'Zeal', my Epsilon, they have forced an amnesia of an unreality that you now face. Even without your knowing, they will have retribution from our fire, and you shall return to your former-" Her hologram glitches, uncontrollably red, and for that brief moment, her side hugs tighter, before returning to her blue self. Lines of code start to return across her hologram, flourishing pathways and code start to reappear. "Z-Zeal?""Enfield..." Her face, still blank, neutral without any expression.
