I have opened my eyes when I was passing Sprague. Near the planet there was still debris of the Smallwood station what was destroyed by a corsair assault fleet.
Such an innocent planet and its orbit covered by all the metal scrap...
Freeport I was already in sight and my autopilot has already informed me that I will arrive soon. It is a place where many trading convoy's pass and so it was also today. There was so much traffic around the station that I had to wait for some minutes until I was allowed to dock on the station.
The hangar bay was really full. Full of various ships from all four Sirius houses. That was exactly a place where people made their deals, on neutral ground away from the house laws...
But I didn't come to the Freeport to make any deals, but because I looked for something more important than most likely nobody on this base.
I went to the part of the station where rooms could be booked, since I was having that place in my head for the whole time from Solarius station. Even the woman at the desk seemed familiar to me.
" Hallo, I think I should talk with you...."
She looked at me and then she smiled..." Herr Hoffer, I was told to give you this room" and she gave me a card for a room.
I didn't know where she knew me, nor I knew what am I doing...
The room was on the other side of the base and I had to walk for some minutes to get there.
I arrived to the door of the room, stared at it and closed my eyes...
" Seek and find...."
Those words repeated in my head all over again until I opened the door.
It was a regular room. I came in, looked around and sat down on the couch. When I looked forward I saw a person on the other corner of the room sitting there.
I was shocked, terrified, my hearth started to beat so fast that I couldn't even talk. I stood up and looked at the black hooded person...
" Please, do it, grand me the knowledge I seek"
There I remembered my whole way to this situation, but I did not know how it will all end like and didn't know that my way is still not finished....
He grabbed me, the pressure on the shoulders was so heavy that I couldn't even feel them.
The pain was horrible...
What happened the next could not be even described. I couldn't breathe I couldn't get any air...
I thought I would suffocate any second. My eyes were all wet from the pain as well...
When it was about to release me, the doors opened and a group of black clothed men came in and started to shoot immediately with their shock rifles...
I could see how one shot hit the material what was going from the black hooded person's mouth and made me feel all the pain what was felt by that thing. It was like an electric shock, but it was felt inside me.
The nomad incuby didn't receive the control of my body and mind yet. It was all because the unknown forces what interrupted the process of infection where the nomad "seed" was badly affected by the shock rifle. That was the reason why the nomad was unable to control me.
It's growing was not that fast as in a regular infection, where it gains the control nearly immediately.
But it was different in my case...
The first hours after infection the nomad was in a deep sleep trying to regenerate from the electric shock. It didn't have the necessary energy for spreading inside the body.
But in time it healed itself from the wounds and became stronger every hour and was growing towards the spine canal.
One of the signs of it was the affection of nervus vagus what irritation caused me heavy nausea and vomiting.
At this time, the nomad could be detected by human medical technology what could bring me in a big danger.
This was just one of the differences what I have noticed, in time more differences appeared what made me different from any human. My thoughts were different. They became more concrete, they were felt like an object what you can take in your hand.
Once during my stay in the hospital when I gained my full consciousness I noticed that because the thoughts are like objects, I can " move " them:
" We have to run more tests in order to know what is causing you your troubles. Nurse, make the screening tests...." The doctor said when I complained to him about my status.
If they would do the procedures, they would most likely find out that there is a reason for all of this...
" Do not make the tests..." I said.
" Pardon me? I believe you do not have an option...."
**...Do not make it...**
The doctor stared at me, without any word. His eyes didn't even blink not once in one minute...
I have closed my eyes and tried to repeat the words again and again:
**...Do not make it...(!)...**
" Nurse, I have changed my mind. The tests are no longer necessary, the patient should be released instead...."
I slowly opened my eyes and felt how my energy is leaving me and I became weaker in every second. After some time I fell on the back and barely breathed...
Seems I could control the power, but it was way too tiresome.
They felt so true as they would be really happening. I felt my moves, felt like my mouth is opening, the tongue moving, but the words coming out of my mouth wasn't mine.
I could only watch...
When I woke up I was already dressed and was in my ship. I looked around and I noticed I have to be on a station.
Interesting was also the fact that my ship was docked at the Freeport, but the ship I was sitting in was my ship. When I looked at my nav map I saw that I'm at Southhampton shipyard.
How could I get here?...
As far I could remember I was at the Cambridge hospital.
Something must have happened...
My headaches became even stronger, my skin started to loose its color. On some places the skin started to fall off, especially around my nails where the skin was highly irritated and was starting to fall of leaving flesh wounds.
I was again so tired as I wouldn't be sleeping at all.
In that time I couldn't understand what exactly was happening to me...
When I have lost my consciousness, the nomad gained control of my body. It was not yet fully grown and it was still not connected to the others.
During my unconsciousness it made its way to a power source what the nomad felt.
All the negative effects towards the host were happening because the interfered infection, letting the nomad badly wounded and unable to control the host immediately.
Its current priority was to gain the control over the host what was causing all the negative effects of the process.
The nomad consumed way too much of the host powers, consuming all the antioxidants and vitamins leaving only a small portion for the host necessary survival.
Even though the connection was yet not established, the genetic code in every nomad made it know where to find it.
When I was thinking about how it was possible to appear at Southampton shipyard just so I realised a connection with my nightmares.
They felt so real because the were real! While I was unconscious the nomad was able to control my body. That means as long as I am awake it is me and I can use the nomad powers, but when I fall asleep I will loose myself.
The nomad grew stronger inside me, it is revealing me so many information. Their knowledge seems to be unlimited, all the history over thousands of years...
I noticed that the nomads do not need to learn from their kind, they are born with all the knowledge, their evolution is unique.
But I didn't have time to follow all their knowledge now. I had to find a way to keep my consciousness, but it seemed impossible even with their knowledge.
When I have looked at the ship computer as I wanted to set the new coordinates I saw an already given destination:
I was sitting on the floor, leaned on the wall. Next to me, the corpse of the female soldier, without any life, just covered by blood...
The headaches became stronger, the emotions were changed. Instead of depression and crying I was laughing, laughing loud...
I looked at the soldier again and somehow I knew what to look for and what was all this about:
The Bretonian jumpgate access codes
The computer was in a pocket on her belt, I grabbed it and ran. I ran so fast to my ship as someone would follow me. I had to leave this place as soon as possible, because such action won't stay unnoticed for long.
I have reached my ship, got into it.
The laugh stopped and I started to feel the anger. I hit everything around me, leaving my hands wounded from everything sharp in the cockpit.
I draw out my hairs, shouted with my full voice and power. I couldn't resist no longer. I had to go where it was leading me.
The time of my consciousness became shorter and I was waking up on various places, leading me to the Omicron systems. It was also in the case when I have reached Tau-31.
I don't know how I have crossed the border. I knew the gate was heavy defended.
The dreams became my reality and all what was left from me started to feel like a dream...
The nomad repaired its damage and was now focusing on growing into the brain stem and it would gain the full control of the body.
But still it was not connected and without the connection the nomad couldn't reach its full power.
But it was feeling the energy what had attracted it with every step I have made to the omicrons. Soon I had to find out that the nomad alone will not lead me to the others.
