Cruel Fate

[Heuschrecke]

Resonance.

She remained there, still. Little thought of her own, a calm acceptance of the changes. Closing her eyes, she let her mind drift onto the ship itself, pondering how it had been transformed. In that same moment, a memory was shared from the form inside. A melody, stripping apart the material, guiding each molecule into a different form. As the song progressed, the vessel itself warped and shifted, the components degrading. The alloy was torn apart piece by piece, reducing its mix into an almost liquid state, it barely holding its shape. Two infiltrators strode in, carrying a container of some sort. The box radiated energy, as bright as any beacon of light, a source immeasurable in power. The minds in the memory instructed them, indicating they place it within the hull of the ship.

As the forms gaze fell upon the floor of the hangar bay, the memory showed herself there. She shuddered from the image, seeing the scars along her body, injuries inflicted and healed repeatedly, taking her flesh and repairing her wounds enough to let them scar. The song changed from the minds, one of destruction to one of healing. Other samples were scattered throughout the hangar, almost ritualistic in their placement around the vessel. Each and every pile of biomass was accompanied with more alien material, blending them together into a mix of human and nomad mass. A tendril of thought reached out towards the power cell, released from its containment field to aid in the process for the form's attention.

Songs became a chorus as it tapped into the enormous energy source, utilising it to fuel the transformation. the matter began to be reshaped, reformed into the liquid hull. The reaction was immediate, an alloy mix between metal, human and alien matter. The previous yellowish hue of the alloy combined with the blue nomad matter became a pale green when coupled with the inclusion of her DNA samples. The Nomad mind continued to work, weaving the previously destroyed substances together into one more formidable machine.

The memory dissolved, to be replaced with the next.
