The Gran Canarian Feast

[Alley]

Dave continued to tell miss Miller about the incident...

"After we made contact with them, by our surprise they were humans. But their level of technology was amazing. My Osiris warship was a small frigate compared to their flagships or even with the smallest battleship. Sirius was divided into 3 grand factions. The Orion Consortium, The Tau Alliance, and The Triumvirate of Pegasus. These groups were mainly formed of humans, but their leaders were unknown to me, these 3 groups were in link with some sort of federation organization, that was formed of various alien entities around our galaxy. But that federation collapsed decades ago when the Vyrr war started, so the only powers in the galaxy remained these 3 groups. As Sirius being a strategical resource star cluster, the 3 groups battled 30 years ago, in a war that was later known as "The Core Wars". The Triumvirate was a military organization and had the role to ensure protection and peace throughout the galaxy, as some sort of security op. I worked for the Triumvirate. I rise into their ranks, promoted to use a Legendary Class Dreadnought and hunted for the Vyrr threat. I was there for .... 20 years ! *looked with a dark figure at miss Miller* You need to see this..."

He then took out from his hand attached device a small round chip at the size of a coin. He put it on the table, and then an amazingly detailed galactic holographic map appeared filling almost the entire room.

"This is the galaxy and there *showed to the various blue dots around the map* were the main planets of the Triumvirate."

Then the map began to show different strategic direction and battle groups around the entire galaxy, with high-detail images and recorded feedback directly from the battlefield.

"The Core Wars period..."

The map changed again and presented again various tactical directions, dots representing Triumvirate, Orion and Tau fleets against the Vyrr that were coming from outside the galaxy, and other inner-galactic coordination. Recorded feedback from the contact with the Vyrr was presented, Dave looked with a tragic look and it was seen how small sheds of tears fell on his cheeks, records of battles, space catastrophes made by the Vyrr to neutralize the human forces. And in the end...

"They manage to did it *looking to miss Miller*, the bastards managed to destabilize the Galaxy Core. What you see on the map were the 3 belts, that were created by some unknown ancient races to stabilize the galactic core or viceversa. The Vyrr used some highly accelerated neutrino-antimatter weaponry to create space-time and gravitational destabilization... *the map showed the Pegasus arm and several others thorn apart from the original shape of the galaxy* Our last hope was the Pegasus' belt, but the Triumvirate failed... "

He waited and continued...

"My new looks, the implants, the robotic parts of me, are signs of hard battles I've been through, with them enhancing my body and giving me another chance to see the stars another day..."

She was surprised by Synk's revelations. There was a chance that these creatures may exist in our universe, but that chance was slim at the same time.

"I guess I have what I need. You have provided a story that makes sense. The final decision is her's."

Kate turned to the Cerberus agent, waiting for her decision.

Alley was right.

Kell leaned back, stunned a bit by what Eriksson had brought up "Shab that takes me back a while, we never got that close I don't think, managed to 'talk' to a few xenos but that was about it, what are you suggesting?" Kell replied

[ErikssonJeny]

"I am not suggesting anything. I'm just saying what is, and what will possibly be."

Kell collected himself and looked at his friend, the color drained from his face and the joy completely gone, replaced with a grim expression "Something has to be done then... Kell said his voice slowly trailing off, all the while looking down at his wedding band This could endanger them both.... He thought "What happened to the Wedjat? They should still be around to deal with this?" He replied finally, pain lacing his voice

---

[ErikssonJeny]

"Sadly, Kell. The Wedjat is dead and everyone in it scattered in to either Cerberus or the Order. I'm sorry Kell. But without your leadership there was nothing else left to do."

Kell looked at Eriksson, surprise evident on his face, but also sorrow "Then we need to act" Kell replied

---

[ErikssonJeny]

"But what can we do? With no one to lead it will just fall apart before it even assembles." Eriksson faced Kell with an obvious but how expression on his face.

Kell again looked down at his wedding band, all the while sighing I'm sorry Rebecca, our retirement will have to wait... Kell looked back up at Eriksson, the despair gone, replaced by a grim, steely resolve "I'll do it" Kell said softly

---

[ErikssonJeny]

Eriksson looked at him in confusion. "You? But what about your retirement? And what about Rebecca?"

"I may be Eriksson, but this would warrant me coming out of retirement, if even briefly" Kell replied, pausing briefly and glancing at his wedding band again "It effects us all, if the nomads are allowed to establish a stronger group in the sector, then it puts all of us at risk, every man, woman and child, everything we, I, hold dear. I am not about to let that be put in jeopardy, especially when my own wife and child are in the firing line" Kell finished briefly, a fire of resolve shining in his eyes. "Besides, Rebecca will understand, and who says I'll be in the Omicrons all the time? Kell finished
