Threats from within.

[Ryummel]

“Ewing? We’ve arrived.” I looked at the view-screen, which was showing a clear image of that huge facility called ‘Altair’. When I was a child, I always felt awed by the colossal works built by man, the megaliths, pyramids ... Wonders which extolled the greatness of the human race during the Earth era. But this place could not be described with words. The man itself couldn't have done this.
Another specter greeted me when I was in the docking pad inside Altair. [color=#CCCCCC]“You’re the one who defected from The Order, right?… I’m glad to see you finally opened your eyes. Follow me, please.” After walking for five minutes through many corridors, we stepped into a small room, almost dark. There was a beautiful view outside a big window in the other corner of the room. The specter left me alone in the room, so I moved towards the window.



I felt calm as I watched the mess of blue and purple gases which were creating dancing silhouettes around the nebula. Then, I began to meditate about the recent events. I know I made the wisest decision, because I know I didn't betray humanity. 'Coexistence' ... That's the word that defines my goal, my will. Probably I'll have to make a great sacrifice to achieve such goal... But that sacrifice would be nothing compared to what I'd earn.

Suddenly, a voice voice broke the silence. "Welcome, K-371".
