Twilight of The past

[Angel]

She Awoke On Cadiz, Jecht was reading a newspaper at the end of the bed. " Well, nice to see you awake there princess, did we sleep well? " he grinned, Kristy just glared.

He folded the paper up, " Come on, we have a lot of work ahead, we want you ready for whats coming ", Kristy rubbed her head, " Whats coming what do you mean? " Jecht didn't anwser he simply walked out of the room.

She put on some clothes, and walked out, she wandered the halls till a young corsair came up, " Ma'am Jecht said to meet him at the main observation platform. " she nodded and asked for help to get there, since she had never been here before.

Two elevator rides later she walked out on the large observation deck, a large glass dome on the top of the Cadiz asteroid. Jecht was stand in the center stairing up at the expansive asteroid field, " Do you know who I am? " he asked, she walked up to him puzzeled, " A corsair maybe I have No Idea. " he chuckled.

" Ohh come on, your not that dumb, I'll give you a hint, where related " Kristy was taken aback by the statement, " Related, are you my uncle or cousin? " Jecht Sighed, " No Kid Im your grandfather, though I don't look it, the Cardamine took care of that, I'll be sixty five this March " he turned and smiled, " though I wouldn't expect you to know hell your mother and father died hours after you where born "

Krist was very confused, what was going on, She didn't have any memories, of anyone, just the people at the Training facility, " Why are you doing this, making all this up what do you want from me? "
Jecht walked right up to her and and put a hand on each shoulder, " I'm here to make sure my grand daughter knows her past, and know what to expect in the future. " Kristy shuffled her feet, " What am I, whats wrong with me...." jecht let go then waved his hand twords the door, " Well where gonna find out, the corsairs where able to capture Doctor Ericks, the guy whos been experimenting on you, and was there when your parents died. "

Just then the door slid open, and a elderly doctor Ericks was being pushed into the room, " This is absurd! " he announced, struggling against the guards. " Doctor, so nice to see you, we have someone here who would like to have some anwsers " Kristy turned around and a look of dread came over Ericks face. " your fricken kidding me, I tell here whats going on and the experiment will be ruined! " jecht walked up and grabbed ericks wrist and twisted, and he welped in pain and droped to his knees.

" Start talking or I'll break every bone on your body starting with fingers and toes " he twisted a bit more, " OK OK OK !!! " he yelled. One of the guards pulled a chair up for the good doctor, he sat down, sighed and began.

" sixteen years ago, a group of deep range Sin|Tech ships came across some Ruins in whats now called the Newcastle system, when they went into the Ruins, they came across creatures in Hybernation, they where very strange, jelly like, with all sorts of weird contraptions and body chemistrys they had never seen before, they brought them back, and gave the creatures over to the R&D departments. Later that year they discovered Strange ships that where also in hybernation. "

" When they where brought to the labs, we soon dicoverd that these creatures, where of the smae Genetic makeup of the ships, we could only assume that they where the same creatures, only larger, more evolved. We dysected several of the creatures, and found that they had the same basic anatomy of humans, Lungs, heart, stomach, though there skelatal structure was semi-liquid, but yet alowed them to endure extreme amouts of stress with ease, we learned they where Telepathic, and could use telekenisis, but what amazed us the most was there photonic gland, It actually emited a low lvl radiation, and one small gland had nearly 400 Gigawatts of power, this was unheard of in a living being "

" But when we disected a ship, we found our anwser, there ships to also had a brain, heart Lungs and stomach, and found that the Energy gland had not grown in size, but in power, it was able to power the creatures propulsion, and also its weapon systems, The creatures seem to use a Mixture of telepatht and telekenisis to control it. What was more amazing is as we operated, the gland also emited a type of radiation that accelerated the healing process, regenrating the ship "

" It wasn't until our contacts in the Order, showed us photos of, what where called " Nomad " ships, there gunboats, Cruiser and battleship, The lab, and other doctors assumed that these where further evolution of a single Nomad. we document fighters of all sizes, which meant, like insects they would molt at a certain point, and grow larger, as there power supply grew, there power glands never stop growing, the Nomads evolve on a bases on how much power its putting out. If it putting out enough energy to support the next class of ship It will evolve to it. "

" Some of our early projects where to simply adapt there technology to our own, we generate CODENAME projects, and gave them to Ace Bountyhunters and Rheinland pilots to test, since Rheinland was at War with the GMG at the time, it was a perfect testing ground "

" Thats when we had learn about generations of Outcasts being born with exeptional talent, we where able to find that children born to parents or a parent that has large amounts of cardamine in there blood stream, and have there DNA altered by it, generate speical offspring, what made you even more curious was you where born to a Corsair mother, who by the nature of there bases and home, expose themselves to varying levels of Radiation, so we took a gamble and chose you and several others for project 99"

" What did you do to me...." she scowled and crossed her arms

" Well, after the deaths of your mother and father, we took you to Freishdat Research station in Omega-15, there we subjected you to constant injections of Nomad DNA, and doses of Radiation therapy, When you where about Ten, we put you under the knife, and Attached a Nomad Photonic gland to your ceribral Cortex, It bonded almost instanly, and soon you showed signs of Telepathy and Telekenetic abilities, your reflexs multiplied, your body ageing slowed, and you even started showing signs of control over you nomad body parts, you where able to Recharge 500 gigawat batterys in minutes, and you where even able to generate small ords of glowing light "

" The goal was to turn you into the super soldiers of tommorrow, but that all ended a few days ago when you destroyed all the work we've done...."

Kristy walked over, " So, am I going to turn into some nomad, with flippers and tenticals, and Morph into a space ship? " he looked right at her, " No you wont, Human bodys arn't capable of that right now, what will happen is that your body will continue to evolve, and all the energy that stored in that gland will someday need to be released, you'll be a hazard to yourself and your freinds, but you'll have abilities that few can even dream of "

The doctor stood up, " you'll be able to heal the sick and dying, form jumpholes out of nothing, and If u can manage it, Turn the energy you have Into a weapon " she looked over, " How will I know when Its happening " she asked.

" Ohh you'll know, but what will be noticable will be that your eyes will glow, the same as a nomads, though probalby green, your Irises aren't purple like a nomads, There might be a hair color change, and maybe others, but If you give in to the nomads power fully, your sense of humanity will not be there, see nomads might be capable of all these wonderfull things, but there very narrow sited, and narrow minded and focus on little things. "

As the guards picked up Ericks and started walking him out of the room,he turned back, " One last thing, your parents do you talk to them? ", kristy paused, " What do you mean? "she asked.

" I mean, when your asleep, or alone do you here there voices, or see there images? " Kristy shook here head no, " Shame then really, you might have been able to see them again " Kristy stoped dead in her tracks, with a serious Look on her face " What did you say? " the doctor nodded, " yeah If you where able to connect with them, then you would have a mental copy of them, there memories, fealings, then all we need to do............"

Bernards voice cut in as the vision blurred, " Is this gonna work, shes been asleep for about a week now......"
