The Exodus

[Dave Synk]

They walked towards the Core, thinking that it was the source of Dominus. As Dave was nervous about it thinking he could also find Ashley he saw someone in the close vecinity of the Core. Apparently it was a man staying with the back at the group. He was looking at the Core. He heard only this "I was expecting you, in the end.." When he heard it, suddenly Dave changed his look, like he couldn't believe what he saw. He made a few steps back as he activated his HandGun. The others looked confused at him. Then the man turned.

Jack Aubrey : Surprised you are ?

Dave was shocked. In front of him was actually his old friend that he saw dying. It was impossible.

Jack Aubrey : Reality is merely an illusion.

Dave : Everything ... is possible. But not this. You are not Jack ! It is impossible.

Jack : There are things beyond our comprehension Dave. You always knew that. There I am.

Dave : You died. I saw it. No ... *activated his HandGun* What is all of this ? Tell me !

Jack : Let's say things changed a lot after the incident. Terminus got into a gravimetric field and on the other side... drifting in space for long enough. The Vyrr arrived.

Dave : Jack.. you are indoctrinated by Dominus. Look what he did to me ! All the augmentations all of these are not human. I become a super human but at what cost ? I destroyed an entire civilization, an entire galaxy ! Jack... Dominus is the foe not humanity. You swore to protect it !

Jack : Dave, my old friend. You do not understand. Dominus is everything around me. Even me.

Something was changed, Jack wasn't in it's normal state. Definately it was affected by the Vyrr but besides that, Dave scanned him as he was 90 percent synthetic. The only part that was organic was his brain. And other small components. Dave was very confused, he couldn't understood the situation.

Dave : You are Dominus. The Vyrr took the only important thing of you. Your mind ! Dominus used it to create the perfect shape between synthetic and organic. I was next. That's why he wanted to.... Because of you !

Jack : Still the scientist I met. From all of your race, you were the only one that interested me because of your relation with your old friend, well me.

Dave : You are an abomination, Jack died with honor protecting humanity at all costs.

Jack : And what you did ? You sacrificed an entire galaxy for what ? For you own survival and for her...

A platform arrived with Ashley Foxx. She was conscious and free.

Ashley : Dave... is that you ?

Dave couldn't believe his eyes. His tears fell... as he ran towards her a massive force field blocked his way towards her and Jack or... whoever he was.

Dave : Are you alright ?

Ashley : Yes.. where are we ?

Dave : It's all going to be fine...

He then looked to Jack.

Dave : What do you want ?

Jack : Finish the job. It's me. Or them.
