A Game of Gods: A Multiversal Challenge

With a defeated sigh, Jorge slid out of bed. He found his helmet on a nearby desk. The Spartan grabbed it, put it back on and stepped out of his quarters. He headed to the main room and was surprised to see it changed again.

"Hmph," He started upon seeing Saren. "Gotta say, for an arsehole, you have a great sense of asthetics."

Hahli tore her eyes away from the simulated citysacape and peered out from her chambers, seeing some of the others (perfectly dry, she noted) leaving their quarters and advancing down the hall.

Gordon swiveled his chair to face Jorge, a device that looked like some sort of handheld computer grasped in one hand.

"That wasn't the most cheerful time I've had," he said. Even back in City-17, there'd been an undercurrent of hope that Gordon, along with the Resistance, would overthrow the Combine.

There hadn't been any hope for that whale.

Roach stepped out into the hall, wearing his woodland combat gear again.

"Well, that was a bit anti-climactic."

Narumi was teleported to the chambers. "That's it? A shame." Narumi said. He then reached to close the driver. The armor devolves, returning Narumi to his normal state, also dry too.

-Eddie was teleported back to his room-

"Hmmm... idea for a song..."

-he produced a pen and paper and began writing down notes...-

-Saren continues staring ahead-

"- Nature works that way, human. This is Palaven, my home world.-"

"Gotta say," Gordon began, looking at Saren's side of the room. "This place is a lot nicer then the last alien world I was on."

Travis whistled as he saw the sunset that Saren had created.

Meanwhile, Jeane jumped onto one of Gordon's machines, although Travis didn't notice.

Ravage padded over to this makeshift observatory, and thought of his own homeworld. Soon another world◊ appeared in the window, cresting out from behind Palaven, a massive sphere of metal continents and gaping crevasses which seemed to descend all the way to the planet's core. Even then, these staggering depths were hardly empty, with massive spires of steel and crystal packed within, their tips thrusting mightily into the sky.

The great mechanical orb of Cybertron glittered with reflected sunlight as it eclipsed the turian homeworld, bringing a smile to the Decepticon's face.

Not yet noticing the cat, Gordon leaned forward when he saw the metal planet.

"So, a robotic planet?" He mused, before thinking Reminds me too much of the Combine...

"Nice place." Jorge said no more after that. He just stood there, enjoying the view...until Cybertron slowly crept up over the Horizon.

"Um...is that a common sight on your world?"

Narumi soon explored the area until he sees a room with the label saying "Narumi Sokichi's Room" both in Japanese and English. He goes into the room to see the room's color scheme of green and black. There was a bed and on the bed's side, a miniature windmill. This reminded Narumi of Futo. Narumi then sat on the bed, and began to wonder about what is going on.

Hahli stared thoughtfully at the common room, and not too long after her own world appeared. Although entirely covered by oceans on its surface, underground there were a huge network of caves and islands. Viewed from the right angle, they almost resembled a person...◊

Jorge noticed this, though he needed to tilt his head a bit to make it out.

"Whose world is this?"

Gordon stared as the new planet appeared.

"That's certainly interesting..." he muttered.

Jeane crept around the machines in Gordon's half of the room. She was soon crouching on a machine near Gordon, looking at the group.

"...A metal planet really?" He then looked over at Ravage. "That one yours?"

Gordon sat back in his chair, and abruptly noticed the cat sitting nearby.

Last time he'd heard mention of a cat, it was tied to some sort of incident with a teleporter.

Gordon didn't mind cats. But he had no idea how this one got here.

"Yes, human," the jaguar said with just a hint of condesencion. "That is Cybertron, my homeworld. Take a good long look at its cities, organic; while your ancestors were still picking fleas from their hides and swinging from trees, we Cybertronians had already colonized other worlds and developed the space bridge network, allowing for easy interstellar travel. It was here long before you pulled yourselves out of the putrid organic muck of Earth, and it will still be here long after your species is nothing but dust and a fading memory."

"That's my world," said Hahli. She pointed to what looked like the head of the person. "That's my homeland, Metru Nui."

Gordon could care less about the Jaguar's rambling. He rolled his eyes.

And I've taken on the forces of two extradimensional empires. Big deal, he thought.

"Travel to the stars?" asked Hahli, confused. "How can you do such a thing?"

The jaguar's only response was a contemptuous snort. This is why humans will always be primitives, he thought with a mental sneer. Simple, short-lived organics; they know nothing of the universe whatsoever.

"Congratulations," Jorge responded to Ravage in a deadpan tone. "Wonder what you accomplished that led you to develop such an outstanding superiorty complex."

He then turned to Hahli. "Really, now? Pretty." He smirked when Hahli expressed confusion at the prospect of interstellar travel.

"Hang on. You're clearly half machine, yet...your people have never gone into space?"

-Saren outright laughs; it has the sound of not happening often-

How to explain Mass Effect to a synthetic who has never heard of physics...

-An immense projection appears above the group, showing how ships move in the galaxy Saren is familiar with, including the Mass Relays-
