Heroes of One Thousand Worlds

"Indeedness! We are having a new member of the name of Maria! However, we are needing to know if a hologram of the Accord may be entering the ship! May a hologram of the Accord be entering the ship?"

"Yes, so long as the systems remain undamaged by him."

"Then I will have returning to the group!" Fawful runs back to the squad to report. "There is good news in the hologram being allowed entering!"

"Good. This is very -IMPORTANT- for us. My -MASTER- will be very pleased. A -REWARD- will likely be in order for both me and you."

"Uh... Ok, then, let's just get this show on the road." Thomas entered the ship, nodding to a camera on the wall and making his way to the bridge.

Seeing as everyone was starting to enter their ships, Maria made her way down to Dagaz VII, which was still sitting idly on the plain, waiting for its master's return. Hopping into the ship she inputted the ship's password and began powering on the main reactor.

Through the comm system, Thomas radioed Maria's ship. "Can that thing travel through time, or whatever? You could stick it in the hangar here, if not."

As Maria powered on the Hurricane's systems she received Thomas's radio message and didn't take long to reply back. "Yeah, I don't think this thing is as well-equipped. It's got its own hyperdrive, but nothing necessary for..." She sighed, as she realized that yes, this was going to be a thing she was seriously going to have to say. "...cross-dimensional travel. I'll park it, then."

"Heh. You think your day was surreal..." He pressed a button at random, hoping that it was the correct one. The hangar opened. (The buttons are fake, the ship pilots itself. But don't tell Thomas that, he liked Star Trek.)

"Alright, this might take a few minutes."

After several more seconds spent powering up the Hurricane, she lifted off and Dagaz VII lazily floated into the air. It was easy to find the ship everyone else was using on the radar, and it didn't take very long for her to fly over to it. It also didn't take very long for her to land in the hangar - it was a rather nondescript process by this point.

"Aaaaaaand we are secure."

"So where do we have moving to now?" Fawful says, jotting things down in his notebook.

The computer spoke again. "I hope to observe... The anomaly, in as close to a physical form as it appears. We travel to Earth 9266, where it is in the process of devouring a sun."

"It is sounding like dangerous! I am loving it!" Fawful stops for a minute. "Waitness... Love... Emotion... Thinking! A machine for reading the thinking!" He starts writing in his notebook furiously.

"I have a feeling this won't be the last time I say that this is going to end badly, but this is going to end badly."

"Have shutting! I am going to be building this!" Fawful runs off, collecting any spare parts he can find on his way.

"Oh-Kay then, let's just get going." The ship rose into the air, the tachyon drive fired, and they blasted into The Bleed. "We'll be here for a while, so make yourselves comfortable." Thomas stretched in his chair and yawned.

Even though Maria was still in the process of shutting down her fighter she heard what was going on.

Needless to say, she didn't want to be near anything that could devour a star.

But with no other options, and the outside looking hostile to anything, she quietly punched out of her fighter, and headed deeper into the ship.

After running around aimlessly for a while, Fawful realizes he doesn't know where anything is. "Ship! Is there being a workshop on board? If such is the case, where is it being?" Fawful didn't know if it would hear him, but he assumed it was advanced enough to hear anyone aboard at any given time.

"The -ANOMALY- will be quite interesting to see. Oh, I can go out first, by the way. I'll see if it's safe for you to see it. Don't worry, every time the -MASTER- appears, I go temporarily, just the least bit insane."

"Yes, Fawful, there is. This way." The computer lit up the floor leading to the workshop.

"Uh... Ok." Thomas felt like he was repeating himself a lot.

"Wonderment! I will be heading there!" Fawful rushes in and a large racket can be heard.

"We've arrived. I'll be displaying the mages on our screens, as looking directly at either a star, or a universe-eating abomination is harmful to your health." The... thing is vast. it doesn't really have any color, rather just the absence of light. All that it touches is absorbed by it, so it looks like a black hole. It's wrapped around the star, which is fluctuating. The star itself is blue, and as the anomaly advances, it seems to push back, as if possessed with a sense of self-preservation. "Can we... attack it? I mean, it's big, but we have guns, yeah?" "No, Thomas. There is no material weapon that can damage it, it is physically akin to a moving black hole. This is merely reconnaissance." "If this is recognizance, what are those?" "Unknown." Speeding towards the ship are three small, black-and-green, irregularly shaped shards, moving quickly. "Looks like... an attack. Where's those guns, again?"

Maria eventually made her way to the ship's bridge... or alternately, its cockpit, where she was then treated to a giant mass of... black. It seemed to just absorb light - the computer stating it was physically akin to a moving black hole was accurate. Of course... it was then she noticed the shards.

"It... probably knows we're here. How long is it gonna take for that d-drive of yours to charge?"

"We should be able to leave it's general vicinity in a few moments, but not this timeline or reality for another hour. Meanwhile, Thomas, you should be able to find the weapons systems here. It's an antimatter cannon, so the space involved should be less than relevant. Does anyone else wish to take a cannon?" Thomas looked over as the controls popped out of a panel. Grabbing them, he fired wildly, hitting the anomaly and being absorbed before he figured them out.

Maria headed over to one of the weapon controls. "I'll take a gun for now. If they start following us then I'll head out to meet 'em with Dagaz, but until then... might as well not stress myself."
