Re: Milky Way Galaxy (Space Itself)
“It‘s the regeion of space we came from previously. Alberik was created there.“ she answered, then paused, cnsidering where best to start.
“The area of space had four... you could call them contries, i suppose. When i came across the area, it was a decade or so after a rather large war, things were tense, but there was peace at least.“
“The sector had these relics and ruins scattered about. We knew it was some ancient alien civilization, but everything was so old and decrepit that everyone knew they were long gone. As you can imagine, we were wrong, or it wouldn‘t make much of a story.“
“Some expedition from Rheinland woke them up. Parasitic creatures, not too different in function to the Goauld i suppose. They had most of Rheinland under their sway before anyone began to suspect a thing. By then, Rheinland had begun another war, and provoked aborder dispute between Kusari and Bretonnia on the far end of the sector. Their plan was to make us waste lives and resources killing each other, then swoop in and finish the job with their own ships.“
“There was some resistance, a few who had either figured it out, or had avoided becoming hosts themselves and escaped. My first encounter with them was on some spaceport. I was flying a cargo ship at the time. I felt the malice and alien intelligence coming from this guy at tthe station bar, and i freaked out. Completely blew any chance i had at flying under their radar, before i even knew they existed. Killed that one in a gunfight, had to flee from reinforcements. They‘d have shot me down, but i got saved by a random mercenary wing, felt my odds were too unfair, so they jumped in for some fun.“
The woman took a breath, then shrugged. “Suppose you aren‘t after the life story though, right? Basically, we wound up killing those aliens, helped save the sector and all that,but i always felt it was too easy at the end. Nevermind that i had made a few human enemies by the time i had left.“
