The Phantom and the Frequency
Unknown Space. The Void-Skiff Medical Bay.Time: 12 Hours Post-Jump.Ethan did not awaken consciously in the gentle manner, but in a violent electrical shock.His biological lung was sucking in cold, sterile air with gasping. His cybernetic optic blazed blue, and flashed the instant error messages and warnings of critical damage into his brain. He attempted to sit forwards, but a couple of massive magnetic shackles kept his body even to the surgical table.Stay still, Lord Gear, said. The voice of the AI was coming out of the overhead speakers of the medical bay. Your body processes are in critical shock. Your artificial nervous system has been severely impaled by thermal damage.Ethan turned his head. The bruised heavy right side of his body. His left side of the body was like nothing.He looked down. Where his White Bio-Steel arm had been there was now a cauterized stump of merged metal and burnt flesh at his shoulder. The phantom agony was agonizing. He seemed to have metal fingers
The Override
Zenith-Prime. The Temple of Echoes.Time: 02:06 Hours Post-Jump.The rod of expiring starlight fell down to the forehead of Ethan.Time appeared to bend and creeped to a crawl. Ethan could sense the localized seriousness of the weapon the Pale Rider held. Its light was cold with the absolute zero temperature of the deep void. It was not a physical weapon that was meant to mash or slice. It was a tool of erasure. Where the starlight touched, there just was not matter.Ethan was lying on the violet crystal floor. He was shallow breathers and ragged. A pool of black blood lay darkly beneath his left sore shoulder instead of where the White Bio-Steel arm had been. The Blue Plasma Core in his chest sputtered and its disordered beat fell to a low sporadic throb. He attempted to lift his left human arm to protect his face, however his muscles did not fire. His biological nervous system was paralyzed by this necrotic damage of the intense energy feedback.He gazed at the blank mask of porcela
The Shadow of the Conductor
Zenith-Prime. The Temple of Echoes.Time: 02:05 Hours Post-Jump.The black neutronium tuning fork hairline ripped away in the form of a spider-webbed outward.Ethan supported the focussed ray of blue plasma in place. The intensity of the heat emitted through his arm and the White Bio-Steel was disastrous. The plating melted and became a blinding sickly white. His artificial nerve endings, in his shoulder, cried out, but he was not going to cut the connection. He infused all the remaining energy of chaos of his essence into the strike."Cease this madness!" The Prime shrieked. The Guardian of the Source was struggling in the stream of blue plasma, its violet light flickering and disintegrating in the sheer power of Ethan his discordant power. And you will destroy the localized reality field!"Then we fall together!" Ethan roared.The fissure on the tuning fork extended out into a sharp gulf of flashing bluish light. The stuttering of the First Note frequency was the absolute zero. It s
The Guardian of the Source
Zenith-Prime. Inside the Temple of Echoes.Time: 02:00 Hours Post-Jump.Ethan crossed the decadent silver, barrier. The atmosphere of the Temple of Echoes was totally opposite to the one of the cave on the outside. It was physically weighty. It was like that of heavy, waving water. With every breath Ethan drew it shook his ribs and gave his human body a shiver and his White Bio-Steel arm made a sympathetic hum.Next came Jarek, with his metallic-heavy feet falling on the floor. The sound was not echoed in a regular manner. The violet crystal walls consumed it immediately, and swallowed it into the fractal geometry of the old building.The Imposter sailed over them, his chrome body showing the violet light. He gazed with very real awe.Perfect math there, The Imposter said, following a rune of silver that was molten into one finger of the next. "There is no friction. There is no decay. This whole system is a closed thermodynamic system. It will continue up to the end of time.Nothing,
The Veins of the World
Zenith-Prime. The Subterranean Descent.Time: 01:25 Hours Post-Jump.The black swallowed Ethan whole.The metallic teeth of the planetary vent clanked together some distance over his head, and the sickly purple light of the Zenith-Prime sky was cut off. The wind whistled in his ear receptors, a hurricane of stinking breath exhaled out of the lungs of a living world. He was losing control and had fallen to terminal velocity in an alien abyss."Ignite your thrusters!" Through the blowing wind Ethan called. His internal messages were in hope that they would reach Jarek and The Imposter by the sheer force of the bio-magnetic noise that the crust of the planet produced.He threw on his own boot-jets, the blue plasma falling upon the fleshy ribbed walls of the tunnel. The shaft was huge, fully half a mile broad, and was hung with throbbing skyscraper veins.Beneath these again, there was a splendid, dreadful radiance. There was a roar of sound waking along the shaft, and smothering the wind
The Immune Response
Zenith-Prime. The Surface.Time: 01:20 Hours Post-Jump.Jarek struck the cushy earth as a meteor. His Void Scythe whistled and cut a flawless black line of the poisonous atmosphere.He put the lead Antibody right along the middle. The ten-foot skeletal creature of the bone and biomechanical material collapsed, landing on the ground in two heavy and wet slabs."Too easy!" Jarek bellowed, and turned to meet the next danger."Jarek, behind you!" Elena was screaming, on the ramp of the flying Void-Skiff. She fired her sniper rifle. The explosive round hit the chest of a second golem knocking it backward.The two parts of the Antibody which Jarek had just cut were not bleeding. They writhed. The boiled dark grey tissue swelled up, and closed the cuts immediately. In a couple of seconds, the two halves were erect, two complete, full-size, five-foot-tall golems. They were smaller, yet twitchy and hyper-accelerated their movements.They pounced upon Jarek as wild dogs.They multiply, Ethan gr
