Jonathan walked through the mass of men and women now running all around the place, trying to get the ship ready for combat. The holographic deck was frightening to stand on, simply due to its sheer size.
He approached Synk. Lucy was still asleep. Good.
"So..."- weapons were ready -"What happens next?"
<span style="color:#000000">The awful plight of he who cannot draw to save his own life.</span>
Something aboard the bridge begun to happen. The Nano Comm activated. The glass darkened. Hundreds of holographic panels appeard showing various texts into an alien language. Dave tried to communicate with the Cerberus fleet.
Dave :Commander do you copy ...
Stevenson :Colonel... we are ... -static- .. signal.. -static- *Ambiental Music* He lost communication with the fleet. He couldn't gave the order to the fleet. He just hoped they will knew when. He tried to move away from the holo deck. His legs were trapped. He looked with a despair look back to Johnathan and the crew.
Dave :Oh my god... what have I done.
The room expanded even further. The surrounding space could've been seen. Dominus was close. Suddenly he fired some sort of beam towards the holodeck, sealing it with Dave inside. The situation was going as he didn't expected. Then a mechanical voice thundering through everyone's skull was heard with a huge holographic projection of some sort of bio-mechanical alien.
Dominus: Organic life... Human.. Indoctrinated. Aaaarhhh .... Dave. My favorite puppet. Your destiny has been fulfilled, you served the Vyrr. The Vyrr gave you .... gifts. You are in your essence a rudimentary creature, filled with mistakes, we can now control everything. Because your arrogance and desperation made you to put Vyrr technology everywhere.... even in yourself. You are weak. Now... I shall harvest every single resource from this universe, your limitation is our advantage.
Dave : I... am not.. your puppet. I did everything you've asked me. Give her back...
Dominus :Dependant on one person. Capable of risking the entire universe's fate for only one person. Your existence is futile. You are under my command.
The others were shocked as they looked over the entire scene facing the mighty Vyrr infront of them. Dominus began to torture Dave to fall into full indoctrination.
Dave :You can't *tried to activate his HandGun* aaaaarhhhhhh !!!!
He had insane pain all over because of the implants.
Dominus :I am your thoughts. Your eyes. Your hands and legs. Your fears. Your ... heart.... there is an anomaly. You humans have an unique flaw from all other the races across the galaxy. You create feelings and attachment towards several other humans and objects. Weak and insignificant. Someone around you has attachment over his suit. How pathetic. The Vyrr are the perfect genetical future of your race. We will bring you to total augmentation and superiority.
Dave :No ... you lie.... you ...arhhhh ... corrupted millions of races .... enslaved... used them... gave them dreams.... fade .. aaarhhhh...
He was falling quicker into indoctrination, he couldn't resist longer. He felt how his mind was corrupted by Dominus. His implants begun to transform, to change giving him even more pain.
Dominus :You know you cannot resist. Our magnitude over your presence is far more superior.
Dave :Just... let me ... see her... let my mind for her clear... please.
Then a holo projection of someone Dave loved appeared. It was Ashley Foxx, she was with Dominus in some sort of pseudo hybernation. Instead of letting her go, Dominus inflicted projections in Dave's mind of infinite ways to make her harm and suffer and to kill her. And all sort of fears he had in his mind, he exploited them.
Dave :Stop it.... arhhhhh !!!!!
Suddenly some energy fields begun to appear near Dave, his transformation was almost complete.
Dominus :There are more insects near this one... you will exterminated like the rest. You cannot escape the arrival.

Jimmy was in the armory when the power surged,he had just loaded up his armor with ammo and racked in a mag of ap rounds on his AR-7 he knew the ship was at battlestations ,he had skimmed a copy of the breifing armory dutys werent his job but he wanted to make sure his gear was set as he liked it.
he pulled on his Sentinal armor and had a tactical sling for his lancer,he had the clips in the back but prefered to have his weapon across his chest,a quicker draw. "troopers! defencive stations,something big is about to go down bravo company ,split off into squads secure vital areas,im gonna find out what the hell is going on...alpha squad,ON ME!"
with that jim started makeing his way to the command deck
The situation was bad but on the gate things got even worse. Icarus tried to shutdown the gate, but it backfired and almost destroyed the station. The Vyrr were taking over. The Gate created a clear path towards the alternative universe and even aboard the Wanderer, they could've seen the path towards the other side which was hiding, millions of Vyrr warships, preparing to enter Sirius.
Dave tried to control his mind using his neural enhancers, but they were not operating he fell down on the deck lying uncounscious. The fields were around him emerging from his implants. Dominus turned his attention towards the other members of deck.
Dominus : I had seen your kind. The one with words. Millions of helpless individuals tried to reason with us. The reasoning is no reason. Your genetic destiny is written since your race saw the first moments of your own star. Your attempt is non existant as your future is.
