One; The dream
It all started, with a dream. Like any other dream, you never know when it starts, it is just there… But this dream, this was not a common dream. Not only was this dream very vivid, it was like hundreds of stories came by.. From the eyes of many, but experienced as your own, forming an entire history. Some flashes were very detailed, others were just vague flashes of bright colors… It didn't understand the meaning of this first part. What it did understand, were the feelings involved. It learned what was bad, and what was good, but not the real reason behind it.

Once the first chaotic flashes were gone, a more organized dream entered its mind. It is impossible to describe what exactly happened, but it slowly gained knowledge about what it was, what it is supposed to do, and why it has to be that way. The dream turned into a stream of images, very well organized, learning it what to do…

After all information and images formed a clear pattern, the voices came. At first, they seemed parts of the dream. But more and more voices came, creating a chaos of voices. This chaos caused panic, and a mix of other feelings… Not used to this feeling, the dream faded to black, and disappeared. Instead of a dream, reality kicked in. Deep in the black, a small light was to be seen. A small dot, that became bigger and bigger.

When all black was gone, all was left was a blinding light…

and a shock while it realized it was not a dream anymore…

Two; The first exploring

The part after the awakening is vague. At the moment it realized where it actually was, it was floating outside of a base. His body was merged with what humans call "a ship" and that took the shape of a very agile space explorer. It could freely move in the voids of space, although it took some getting used to. His fresh instincts told him to follow the path to a planet in the system. Some remains of familiar technology were visible, but they appeared to be dysfunctional.

Once arrived at the planet, it found a weird anomaly. Something in its mind made it go closer...and closer... until it was sucked in. This anomaly took it in some sort of vortex... before it realized what was going on, it was in a new world. One that looked familiar from one of the flashes. The details were vague, like everything from the dream, but that triggered its curiosity.

Cautious as it was learned, it headed for the nearest nebula. On the way, it encountered several weird metal things. They were noisy, and opened fire on sight. They were too stupid to do anything, so it just ignored them. When it reached the nebula, it sensed something cold... more metal... Assuming that the metal couldn't sense or see it because of the nebula, the opportunity was perfect to check it out. When it came closer to the metal, it noticed that the metal was shooting something, but it was not the target. Apparently, the metal was shooting rocks. Confused by this weird sight, it came even closer to the metal.

Suddenly, it detected some sort of wave coming from the metal, a sound, a scream. While the metal thrusted away while making these screaming sounds, it followed. This caused the metal to accelerate even faster, and making even weirder screams. The metal was obviously scared, so it stopped chasing. The cloud was empty, unfortunately no more weird metals were to be found…
