Day 8

I'd made it through the jump-hole ok, but the RT was beaten up something fierce. I was venting plasma and mox fuel, the controls were sluggish, and I was pretty sure an engine wasn't even running. The ship limped back to Falkland where I sat down for the night. I started sorting through the computer files I had transferred over to the RT during my brief stay on the station. Everything on the drive was filled with records of the Borei, the Ceti systems, all three of them, and including a planet in a system named Ceti-23 far beyond Ceti-21 and all the gravity distortions therein.

Only one ship had made it in an out of that system alive. Only 30 seconds had been recorded once he entered the system, but shortly after the pilot had to duck and run back out. I watched the guncam recording of the system on the small monitor. The ship darted into the system. It was covered in a dense dark fog that looked like it was taking over the system slowly. In the far distance, surrounded by shadow sat a planet that looked as if it was being taken over by some kind of slowly growing plant, but not a plant. In orbit was a strange and massive ship that looked...alive.

Just as the guncam recorded this, two ships intercepted the small fighter. Two Borei fighters, but they looked different from the ones I had encountered. They were slightly larger, more aerodynamic...darker. They darted in and out of the camera's view, firing at the fighter. I had to give props to the man flying the fighter; he had skill dodging the fire waiting for the jump engines to recharge. Once they did, he made it back through the hole, through Ceti-21 and into Ceti-15 where he kept running until he reached Java Station in 23.

The IMG leadership at the time deduced that Ceti-23 was the Borei home system and home world. From that point forward they barred any fighters or anyone in the IMG from venturing past Ceti-15. Shortly after the incident with the fighter, the attacks by the Borei doubled three fold. At least four mining platforms disappeared within one day every day for almost three months before the IMG shut down the entire operation. Soon after that, Desolace Station was destroyed, and all contact with the Ceti systems ceased...until the Patrol Seven incident a month ago when the Borei began slowly returning to Sirius space. From what that large Borei had said on the station, I had a guess as to why they were coming back.

...and it wasn't to be our friends.

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
