The Enclave

[fwolf]

A new dawn

Hessel runs to Solarius station, where his neural net is identified by the scanners. The Daumann construction employees welcome him. He is given cofee and some rest. Then two military guys appear in the deck.
- What is that? Who are you?
- We are from the 120th fleet, sir. We are here to escort you back in our gunboat to Rheinland Space.
- How do you known I was to be here?
- We tracked you says the other military by a request from the officers club. We want you come back with us to Rheinland.
- No, I will not go!
They take him by his arms and rise him from the chair were he sits. Hessel try to get rid of them, but he is weakened by the stress. They get him to the gunboat and put shackles in him. Prisoner, again. He is throwed in a prisoner pod, used for transportation of criminals. Something happened backhome, someone discovered Hessel was going to the Omegas, and someone missed his ship in the decks.
Anyway, the hessians, leadered by Wolfstorm, attacked the gunboat in packs. The gunboat was quickly destroyed, and the hessians looted the cargo, right near planet Schutz.
And soon Hessel was back to the hessian base. The hessians, seeing he was in a prisoner pod, took him in another light this time. Friedrich opened the pod and take the military in his hands, then brought him to a room.
Schuler, having captured the gun commander, turn again to communications with the rheiland military trying to get some money from rescues. A fat man appears in the screen, smoking a cigar.
Schuler: How is two plus two, fat f**k? Fivetwo plus two, at least this is what the department of defense thinks, but in my book, two plus two is a three, and if we meet your in the middle, maybe we can make a fourfour victims. Fat f**k! Are you a faggot, fat f**k? Fat f**k!
Rheilander: III will pass this transmission to another officer.
Then came the other guy, the one who seems to be a homosexual, with his eyes painted with pink, playing a white piano.
Schuler: I will kill this fag playing piano.
Rheilander: What lack of manner, hmm!
Schuler: I have now one of your gun commanders!
Rheilander: Should I care? He certainly is not part of the club!
Schuler: He is from the 120th, not the 185th.
Rheilander: I dont care either. I already picked the signal of your transmissionsoon we will send a squadron of gunboats, all maniacs armed with nomad cannons. Hmmm? Hmmm!
Schuler turn the communications off: Stupid faggot. He cant even amass a squadron of gunboats those days, when even dragons are attacking Rheinlandfaggot
Some hours passed, and soon Hessel was flying side by side with the Wolfstorm, piloted by Friedrich. Hessel was in a sabre, better fitted to resist the shootings of the Wild in Omega 55. But his sensor that he was to put in a asteroid was lost. The hessians provided another, but since Friedrich have exchanged his information with him, Hessel now have another idea, to go until the unknown planet and take a better look at the debris found there, and letting the sensor there. Friedrich have been provided a atmospheric scanner, although this operation will be risk, as the atmospheric pressure from that planet can destroy his ship.
The mission was to be a risky one, but before they even started, more Wild were in the middle of the way to fight, as of always. They survived, but for some reason, Hessel got curious about the two Wilderness bases near. Wolfstorm had to return to search for him. Then a massive quantitie of Wild pilots appeared again, much bigger than the first one, and at this time, five order nephthys fighters were with them, with a mix of order and nomad loaouts.
Hessel, stunned: The first fleet!
Friedrich: The first fleet?
Then one of the nephthys fighters open communications with the two adventurers:
Karl: Heinrich?
Hessel: Uncle Karl?
Karl: Ican feel youyour presencefrom here
Friedrich: This is a trickHessel, dont fall on their trap!
Hessel: What happened, uncle?
Karl: Iknown new lifea new, revigorating lifefar from humanity
Friedrich: Hessel!!!
Some 50 Wild fighters surrounds Hessel, and run in circles around him, shooting him down easily. His escape pod is retrieved.
Friedrich: Damn bugs!
Karl speaks something in a incomprehensible language, and then the Wild attacks the Wolfstorm. But the Wolfstorm is strong, and manages to escape from destruction. Friedrich distracts them until they are out of sight, and proceed with his mission to the planet. However, the damage made on his ship put him at a even more high risky, and he is not able to reach the atmospheric level necessary for his research. Friedrich returns to Freital base in Omega 11. The mission was a complete failure.
Heinrich awaken in a frozen cell, a dark room where a strange, alien odor fills the ambient. A door opens from where a blue light came, radiating, and a familiar man, who is no more a man, come to him. Heinrich feels the shackles on his hands, as Karl approaches him:
Heinrich: Get over bug. Better to kill me than to be infected by your wretchfull spawn. I will not fall to the same destiny of my uncle.
Karl touches his chin with his right hand: Stay cool, my young. I am, still, as I was before, your uncle, Karl Hessel, but Im no more a human, but a enhanced, better being.
Heinrich: I known who you are, and you are not a better being. You obey to the hive, the wretched nomad hive.
Karl: We have been separated from the hive for 30 years, my dear. Our objective is to accomplish our only task: destroy humanity. Look to them: wretchful human race, limited in the middle of endless space. Their petty morality, their small mediocre issues, their pointless consumerism, their empty pride, their hypocrisy which dont known limits. What they are? What they known about the universe? We known much more than them, and we strive for evolution. Hence, we travel thoughout space, and mingle with other races, knowning their minds, their feelings, and taking from this the best we can use for ourselves. And we made the simbiosis. Im still Karl Hessel but Im not Karl Hessel anymore, not the one that they, the humans, wished me to be. No more cattle necessities, like sex, drugs and entertainment. No more mamal procreation, we have our own ways to reproduce each other without have to resort to such deplorable condition. I will show you, Hessel, a little bit of what we known, and you will be enlightened.
Karl touches Heinrich hands, and they feel like being part of each other. And for a moment, Heinrich smiles. All problems seems to be solved. No clubs, no intolerable snobish behaviour, no fat officers eating caviars, no more politics, no more people being throwed through the airlock. Heinrich feels himself free from the chains.
Karl: Join us, Heinrich Hessel, and you will learnhow to hate humanity.
