On the right sid of the page is a note from the author.
Greetings Reader,
Thanks for picking the tome up and taking the time to peer with the pages. The stories you will find within are expanded stories of my Characters that i was unable to post within the universe, whether due to cowardice, or time. If you wonder the implications, simply know this. All that you will read within can be considered canon information regarding the character that posted it, but is not necessarily canon to the progress to the site.
Title: phone home,(extended scene) Story continued here http://thesagacontinues.freeforums.net/post/2345/thread
“Alright… lets run protocol 17s. give me all the details on mythical and claimed mythical powers of all subspecies crystals.” twelve hours had gone by since I had left and I was still working on uncovering and verifying the databases regarding crystals and the casualties of the plague… and seemingly spinning my wheels. Even with clearance from Emerald Crescent and Red Dawn medical Centres, many planetary governments were still unwilling to remove the Metric Frack Tonne of red tape that kept the data from me.
::Excuse me master, but one of the subroutines has activated on its own.::
this raised an eyebrow as with one or two exceptions all programs were meant for me to plug information into to get results, not alarms notify of right conditions…
“Which subroutine…?”
::The program is labeled Instramtan Comm relay… Royále::
It was a happy shock as I realized who was contacting me. during my journey I had left probes at junctures between realities I crossed to arrive here. they were meant to lead me back, they also gave me a comm link back home. I had intended to test this out sooner than now… but getting swept up into the intrigue of the galaxy… first contact was from home… and the royale channel could limit who had access to one or two people.
“listen to me Codex, transfer all current programs to an auxiliary server. this call is too unstable to last long, give me every moment I can to talk with my family.” the hologram bowed and all the cubes disappeared in favor of the form a figure upon a throne. definition began to appear as the figure began to form from the same “Grey” that Codex was made of. but worryingly the figure began to fade as quickly as it formed
::is anyone there?::
With a static filled message reaching my ear I ground my fist and cursed the AAI
“Codex, I swear to Nuri, I don’t care what you have to do… divert the entirety of RD’s com processing, just let me talk to my family” if that threat were enough, the image resolved enough for me to begin to make out features, as instinct took over I took position bowed on one knee with my head towards the ground
“Hail to thee Rin Mechi, blessed be the queen mother. honorable ruler of Instramta, and mother of Ka Rinchi and your humble servant, A’me Tochi.”
there was a pause… and then a giggle. it wasn’t mother’s giggle. it also wasn’t a completely happy giggle
“Brother mine, you know that although Mother would advise me on any matters, even if I could get her in here for the call, I would be the one seated upon this throne by our arrangement. Rise and well met Sok’ari Noel.”
I looked up and saw the curled tresses. it was indeed my elder sister, Ahim Mignonette Tuhlute that sat upon the throne. I rose and smiled, my older twin often teased me for standing on procedure, but all the same it felt… right, to me.
“Ahh… Ahim… is the chamber you are conversing from secured?”
a confused look washed over her face
“I suppose it is, why?”
I closed my eyes and shook my head before I continued… no longer speaking in basic, but in a dialect that was exclusive to native homeward
“I cannot say the same for my end. for the security, let us confer in our family tongue”
“As ever the anxious one lil' bro. fair enough I will relent. any other formalities before we converse as we were meant to?”
“Just one… how long has it been since I left there?”
“Just over 3 years. why? how long since you arrived?”
“just under 6 months.”
“What does that mean? is this a locked interval?”
“I won’t know until a few more calls. for now let us just say I am Moments apart from you”
“I see… so how is Leinstar? … I presume that you sought travel there to find the Kateki.”
“ She deserves all the splendor and more that Father spoke of her with.”
“sounds like a terrific place… I would love to visit.
“as soon as this crisis is settled, I will focus on bringing you here. but what is life like back home. how is the Queen mother… is there any more information for me to go on as I seek this man out.”
There was a silence
“Brother mine… we tried to call you sooner. Rin Mechi died three days after our first birthday celebrated since your departure. As for father’s murderer… I am sending over a data file with significance. What I can say was he was a member of the legion of Drevkahn…”
“AHIM! NO.”
The transmission began to lose clarity as the filed transferred.
“What… going…..”
I figured out the issue and chose my words and their speed CAREFULLY so as to cheat the static “Sister mine, this connection is perilous. the moments we can achieve alignment are precious few. the file is pilfering the precious few moments we have.”
“Then … no …time… kneel please.”
I returned to my kneeling position looking up briefly to see a saber gifted to us by a member of the family de Fortia generations ago.
“Do you, Sok’ari Noel Tuhlute confess that you have no avenue to return to the Kingdom of Instramta timely by any methods known or unknown”
“…so I confess”
“And insofar as you are trapped within the borders of Leinstar, do you promise to protect her by her sacred laws, in time of wealth or poverty, in peace or war?"
“I solemnly promise so to do.”
“Then by the power vested in me by the crown of Instramta, I crown thee Sok’ari Noel Tuhlute, Grand Prince of Leinstar. and I BANISH you…”
the holographic weight upon my shoulders and head almost felt real… but then she went silent. after a moment I raised my head
I was alone
If for a moment, then the AAI reappeared.
::I am sorry sir, the connection was lost. If it helps, the file successfully was transferred…::
“I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE FILE. WHAT I CARE ABOUT IS BRINGING THIS CRISIS TO A CLOSE. NOW I DON’T CARE HOW YOU DO IT… JUST GET ME THOSE KRIFFIN’ FILES ON PLANETARY SPREAD… DO NOT RETURN UNTIL YOU HAVE THEM!”
I wasn’t upset. I was LIVID. Mother was dead… My sister was condemning me to exile… and all I could do was get this problem solved. so I threw myself into my work for hours on end until the AAI’s voice spoke again
“Master, I have compiled the relevant data to your request… oh hello there. How long have you been here?”
So this is my first log entry. you know you watch all those holo shows where the focus character of the episode dictates the base assumption that is to come. before they begin, however they all sound so very professional. i guess you get like that as the ranks get higher
Anyway, I am aboard the Long-range shuttle Delicia. my goal here is to record my experience, and relay it back in real time, so that if i come across something that might aid in the anti-virus campaign, the information is not dependent on my bing there in person. The transmissions are encoded for direct transmission to the Red Dawn Medical facility, though since certain notes need to remain private, i have implemented a personal encryption for certain parts of the logs, that do not contain vital info regarding the virus.
Mission log Update: Arrival on Barab
it took approx 2 days, but i have made it to the first stop. Barab 1, the radiated wasteland of a planet. I can only describe the first leg out as uneventful… and yet productive. As records may show, the Delicia belonged to a crystal merchant. the bay is filled with implements for carefully excavating, as well as grading the crystals. with a few modifications to the equipment on the software side of development, i have created a way of capturing the raw data that would allow anyone following back there to study the data samples with more precision.
Due to the radioactivity of the planet, I am trying to locate the vein of crystals before setting down. as a personal note, i am not confident in the integrity of this biohazard suit.
Mission log Update: (delayed) departing Barab
I am off world and in warp towards the next world. Actually, if the display is correct, i am well on the way to the next planet on the list. To give a simplistic run down of the time on world… it was Hell, when you die, if you believe that there is an afterlife with a positive and negative destination, the negative destination is going to be a plague ridden irradiated wasteland.
As for the ore, I found the correct vein, but there is a significant problem to this line of research. it seems that Aura, or probably density of Midichlorians, is a quantifiable amount. as with life blood of a sentient host, if a sample of crystal is procured, the larger the sample the greater the density, and by logic, the longer the sample can be studied.
on a personal note, i must confess that something on world had an effect on me causing me to hallucinate. I had a vision of my father. Diamonte tuhlute. I am not sure of the veracity of the vision, but i will seek a companion on the next world, as well as send for an ally to meet me on Ruusan. Attaching files of samples labeled “Barab” and “control”
Mission Log Update: Arrival on M’haela
this message is a confirmation that i have safely made it to the second world, M’haela. Not much more to note except for this vein is centered over a mining town, so there may be a possibility of violent interactions.
Mission Log Update: Departing M’haela
The contents of this message are of the utmost secrecy outside of the confines of the scientific necessity
As far as sample collection goes, i am transmitting a multispectral analysis of the cavern. i took a vial apparatus with me to the site this time. so we have a sample potentially at maximum potency
As for the other bits, i record only what i can remember. I am writing this as soon as i have awoken and come to terms with what happened. i do not remember getting on the ship, or entering warp. I remember a companion named Y’Ko who served as guide. if there is a camera on this suit it would show him as a sentient bipedal creature, but that is all i can say, he didn’t conform to any known species. along the journey he kept trying to pedal some miracle powder called “Ink” that could among other things eliminate the need for space based transit between worlds. I was skeptical of the claims, but in one instance after he was killed as a result of him showing early stages of the plague, i powered out contents of the vial onto the ground and two figures appeared from the ink. one tended to Y’ko, taking him into the puddle, while the other walked towards me. one… personal note, both figures from the puddle had the most alluring bust i have ever seen on a female. File attached labeled "Dragite"
Mission Log Update: Arrival on Ruusan
confirming that i have made it to Ruusan, I have also linked up with trooper FS-525, or as he is known now, Verde Solus along with another of his clan as backup.
Mission log Update: Leaving Ruusan
the candle still seems to be lit, so i believe you all still stand. I wish you had come with me. collecting samples is a lot easier with three units working together to keep the group safe. the transmission includes extra samples from different locations within the vein.
This is also the largest transmission, as i am including a bulk file of every observation of previously collected crystals to date. -the sample retrieved from Darth Bellum (Kirwin) ’s saber is completely hollow with no remnant of the virus inside. i tried to restore it into the saber, but the blade was dangerously transparent, and the saber has been separated into a tray of components for return as another issue nearly caused the saber to explode. -the Barab sample is down to 5% of its original density when first measured. -the M’haela sample is only down by 20% in density. I attribute the diffrence in Density to procedures used to procure the crystals for analysis Multiple files attached
