''Hello Professor, how are you ?''
''Kyle? I'm surprised to see you here. I thought you didnt give a rat's ass about research''


The professor and Kyle both laughed. Professor Xavier Inahara, one of the 3 scientists who were leading the research on the Great Spirits, the Nomads. He was in his mid 40s while the other professors were mostly over 110 or so. Inahara had a gifted mind, his IQ is actually one of the most highest in all of Sirius.


''So, what do you want Kyle? Some way to clean your weapons in a scientific way, eh ?''
''I'm actually here for some information...actually a lot of information''
''Alright, ask away, you saved my arse more than I can count, at least I can return the favor''
''The Great Spirits, the so called Nomads. I want to know everything you have already found out.


They both looked at each other for a few seconds, not saying a word, until Inahara broke the silence.


''No way Kyle, that is all hidden information, and not something for you to see, or learn.''
''Professor I --''
''I said No Kyle, thats all, just a plain no''
''Damn it professor, you just said yourself, I've saved your arse countless times, think of the incident at Theta, when your escorts arrived a bit too late, what would those corsairs have done to you if I wasnt there to fight them off ?''
''That doesnt have anything to d--''
''Yes it does, If I havent saved your life, I doubt that you wouldn't have the information about the Spirits that you have now, just give me the damn documents, or just tell me yourself''


The Professor thought about it, True..if he hadnt helped we would even know half of what we know now


''Alright, alright, you have to give me about 20 minutes, I need to finish something up, then I'll explain everything''
''Ok, thank you professor, I'll be here in exactly 20 minutes, Bye''
''Bye''


================


The Young One was flying around New York, his first trip to the system, he was not alone this time, another being, this one, younger then him, even more curious. Both of them were flying on top of the mainly used level of space, they knew that in here, the humans didn't like 'them', the minds were angered at them. So many thoughts, feelings, each one different from eachother, they had never sensed this many human minds at once.

Each a different thought, a different emotion, only a few of them had the same thought, most of them, different, millions of minds. Amazing. Both of the Nomads had sensed a new feeling, it was in many of the humans, but they both couldnt explain, or understand it. It was an emotion, concentrated between two beings. The humans were mostly individual, something not like ''themselves''. But, with this feeling between the humans, they were no longer individual, as if they were one. Doing anything for the other. The Young One and his companion couldnt understand it completely..


================


Kyle stepped into Professor Inahara's office, unlike the lab he was in, this place was more quiet for some reason, barely anything moving, calming. The professor looked a bit worried Kyle thought, well, the information the professor was going to give him was probably considered as ''classified'', something only for scientist's eyes only.


''Alright Kyle, what do you want to know first?''
''Well, where did the Great Spirits, the Nomads, come from ?''
''Well, now, we suspect that they are actually the 'natives' of Sirius. They dont come from anywhere, they were born, or made here''
''Do they have ANY 'friends' other then themselves..
''Well, we think that, the Nomads, were actually made, bio-engineered, by a race called the Daam K'Vosh, we know must of these things by the artifacts, the scriptures in them, we try to understand what they mean, right now they point as that there was a race called the Daam K'Vosh, which has disappeared, when they did, we dont know that, and we dont know any reasons why they did as well''
''Hmm, did you ever consider that the Nomads are actually the Daam K'Vosh?''
''Yes, at first we did, but we soon found out that, the Nomads respond in different ways to different artifacts, active artifacts of course. So, the Daam K'Vosh could have made these to possibly control the Nomads, they were known as guardians to them.''


They both breathed through their cardi-inhalers. And ate some food that an assistant brought them, Kyle was even more curious about the Great Spirits, and now, he was actually learning what they were, they had finished the small snack.


''Ok, what about us?, Nomads never had attacked Outcasts, I had read somewhere that its about cardamine''
''Yes, it is about cardamine, we think that the cardamine, since it is native to Malta, was left by the Daam K'Vosh, for the Nomads. We have seen Nomads consume the cardamine once left in space. They pick it up, we also think that the cardamine, is pure good use to the Nomads, it doesnt seem to have any side effects to them.''
''So, you mean that, since we have cardamine, in our bloodstream, or DNA, the nomads do not open fire on us ?''
''Yes, now, it was once recorded of a fight, nomads were in a fight with some zoners, who were possibly transporting Nomad interiors, neither side was winning, mostly equal since the Nomads were only a few on that fight, one of our ships had dropped cardamine, the pilot had heard that the Nomads use it, so she dropped it, a few of the nomads picked it up during the fight, a few seconds later...the nomads were using ''maneuvers'' never seen before, they did times and times more damage to the zoners, eventually ripping apart the whole Zoner convoy in a matter of seconds.''
''Whoa..cardamine must be really important to them''
''Yes, it is, it is..''


================


***[color=white]..sensed..darkminds..scavenge..'ours'..minds..will be..punished..(anger)..***


It was a small Zoner convoy, transporting nomad 'brains', neural parts of the Nomad 'ships'..The Young One would not allow that. The humans had not given up the cargo..he was angry..


***[color=white]..'We'..Begin..***


The Nomad sliced through the Zoner ranks, killing anything that it passed, getting closer to the 'Gull' transport. The Nomad's energy seemed limitless, its 'guns' never stopping, shooting at everything in its way. It had killed all the escorts in just half a minute, and was leaning towards the transport, which was badly damaged. A heavy Zoner patrol. 3 gunboats and a dozen of fighters, going head on at the Young One, guns firing to make a barrage of energy headed for the Nomad. It twisted away from the shots, evading, the Zoners couldnt hit the Nomad, It was too fast. But the transport's engines were damaged and couldn't use it's cruise engines. After 2 minutes, the Nomad felt relief..they were now one.

3 Keepers, being 2 Assassins and an 'Adad', the humans had named it like that. The Nomad Void Archon, a true sign of great power, something which could torment whole fleets into fear. The Keepers, to protect the Young One, ravaged on, tearing the Zoner fighters to pieces. In the last moment, The Void Archon fired its most great and powerful 'weapon'..A singularity Cannon, or so the humans had named it that way. The burst flashed towards the Zoner gunboats. At the moment the energy ball impacted at one of the gunboats, the small area around it turned into total black, it had appeared only for a moment, then it disappeared, the zoner gunboats were not to be seen, all 3 of them were ripped apart and turned into squeezed atoms. To small to even see.

The Great Singularity Cannon, the Nomad's most deadly weapon known to humans, could actually make a miniature Black Hole, only for a moment, sucking up anything near it, then it collapsed to make a huge explosion. Both the black hole its self and the explosion were lethal to anything near them...



***[color=white]...DEFILERS..have felt..the void...grasping..them...***


Silence...


================


Kyle was all ears, listening to every word Inahara said, the professor was speaking of a document, a very secret one, it contained all the information known about the Great Spirits, the Nomads. It took Kyle some time, but he forced the professor to show the document and explain it, it had a special name of its own,

The Nomad Lore...
