Chapter 3: Marching on in Tandem
The first year of doing our job was actually pretty chill. Surprisingly a lot of worlds flipped in a few weeks. We came across the poor or the starving. Hell for some reason even the Governors were tightening their belts. I suspect Time-Lord's doing, but nothing concrete. Out of the literal tens of thousands of worlds to convert we had a couple hundred.
Despite us being a member of the Farsight Enclaves. We were far from them, Thus we became known as the Farsight Auxiliary Enclaves, or F.A.E. Not the worst name… Not the best either. The worlds that were starving were giving food while a great host of every plant base alien made their worlds alive again. The Poor Worlds were given new infrastructure. And thanks to this combo, it feeds itself while building itself up.
However after the first year of doing this, it got harder. From climbing up a steep hill to climbing up a flat wall, in the winter. So we slowed our roll, and did a quiet conversion of the populations. I was on a random Deathworld. Force to do more experiments with my aliens. Apocalizard was awful to use, he was based on SCP-682. And true to the Hard To Destroy Reptile name, anything that hurt me won't do it again. Well until I transform back into me and then him.
It's like a reset of sorts, but thanks to my memory I can do an automatic upgrade. Then there were 999 and 1471. Tickle-Monster had a field of friendliness that couldn't be overcome. There is a race of Giant Bee T-Rex thing, That is absolutely hostile to everything not them. Send in Tickle-Monster, and they were like putty in my hands. 1471 or Round-Up can become two things. A Ghost in the Machine, or a teleporting monster hell bent on becoming a nuisance. Both are bad if used carelessly and a nightmare if not. One experiment was to use Round-Up on a Tech-Priest ship. It succeeded in the worst way possible.
Round-Up became a virus of sorts, Infect one priest, they communicate with others they become infected. It caused them to go insane then they blew up the ship. I survived due to one of the pods being launched just before it happened. With the Plant Host helping the FAE's get up and running I had a brilliant idea. After a couple week's worth of cloning the Deathworld had a giant Tree on it now. Swampfire and Vinewhip made the base of the whole thing. Combined with my Namekian, Symbiote and Martian aliens. The creature took on a new name. Yggdrasil the World Tree, the planet's name became known as Vanaheimr, while the newly built town became known as Asgard. Animals were mind-control to become one with it. I.e make a home within its trunks or roots.
After that I was shipped to another deathworld, a frozen wasteland. My job was to create a population of Ice Dwellers. I had two from Ben 10, Big Chill and Articguana, then there was Trogen. With a small helping of No-Brainer. It took only a couple of months to finish. Had to create a dozen Me's to help teach the Kids. Also on a side note, Starro isn't the small latch-on-the-face, It was the size of a Tau-Hawk. After this I was assigned to a major testing ground, Closer to our base of operations. It was the first world that we claimed. No one was on it and no one cared enough to try to take it back. I was to try out my Tyranid Form, Bugger. It was a Tyranid Prime combined with a Lictor with Orange on black coloring. However I was left in a desert to test this out. With the orbital weapons trained on me. When I transformed, I felt isolated. There was no buzzing of a swarm or hissing of the Hive.
I then began to test out my power set, which included bone blades and self cloaking as well with a Psyker attack. After about an hour I got hungry and hunted. It took me killing a few Kyo-boar, Boar that are the size of houses, to sustain my body. I then realized that I was very full. I felt the need to bury myself into the ground. I was going to do just that when I realized that might be bad. I transformed back to myself and reported the feeling. After a few minutes they said to let it happen, It was Dar Lic Elm's decision. I signed and returned to the form. I looked at myself and found that I had a huge gut now, Like I was pregnant. I then buried myself and blacked out.
I woke up being carried by a dozen genestealers. They had my appearance, only just barely. Apparently they had negotiated for a hundred cloning pods with my blood on file. I was unceremoniously dumped into a Tau-Hawk. They turned a desert into a hive land. I was out for three weeks and while they said that they would be allies with Father-Mother(Me.) They're not going to go out of their way to cause trouble. Lazy-nids is what I called them, I then was told to go to the other side of the planet and create a hive of Rachni, Chryssalids, and Xenomorphs. For the Latter two I donated bodies. Though my Killaman was just a really big warrior, He Morphed to become a queen and for her Pretorians I gave her, Now named KillaQueen, five Asartes. While Many-yet also turned into a Queen Chyssalid she asked for a hundred bodies.
She split them with KillaQueen. It felt weird that I was okay with becoming a woman or a mother for that matter. The fact that I had now Three Queens making a hive together was also weird. Weirdest lesbian threesome you'll ever get. After the whole ordeal was over and whatnot. I again was sent off to do other experiments. The next planet had Trogen there waiting and told me to get trained up. Along with King and Gun-Gum out of the three of them Gun-gum was the hardest to clone. And he looked a bit like Super Buu or Kid Buu if he was only a bit taller. Of course there was also Mon-Ki, who looked like a typical Saiyan with spiky hair and a monkey's tail. King was the tallest one there, while Mon-Ki came second. I wasn't there to just train my Z-Forms. But to also train all my forms.
That took a half a year, however, after the training montage. One of our friends came under attack by none other, The Blood-Ravens. With a small force it seems, they attack us. I think they had old reports to go off of. Prolly thinking that a show of might would win the day. Only to find that the system was a self-sustaining fortress. Though they had been producing Imperial-class ships, they had been upgraded with Farsight Tech. I got to fight with my other new forms. My squad was meant for hit and runs, however Blana, thanks to her new Long Assault Rifle, codename, Diamonds AKA L.A.R.D it is both a sniper and assault rifle. She took out a hundred S-Marines. Not only that, we began manufacturing Legions of Forged Machines. As a man once said, Quantity is its own Quality. Don't get me wrong we lost them by the thousands, but we had a million more to cover the losses.
Then came the steel rain, The main Blood-Raven fleet that was backed up by the Imperial Navy and Sisters of Battle. Filled up every pod and shuttle they had to give the Imperium a fighting chance. They had landed on top of the first attack force. And they dropped everything, just to establish a beachhead that was too small. Tech priests and Tech Marines began working on deploying turrets. While every able body was sent to slow the Forge Horde. Meanwhile Geth forces were setting up motors with the dust style diamonds grenades. Along with grenade and missile launchers with the same dust bombs. We had suited up to make sure that we didn't inhale any of it. Though the hive cities were far away, we asked them to get to the bunkers and wait for our signal.
Most of the Soldiers fell to the dust bombing and the remaining soldiers were the Sisters and the Marines. Who fought harder as we slowly pushed them against the wall. Turrets were smashed while the bases were torn apart. Soon even these brave warriors fell. Their ships were routed and they left the system heavily damaged. Now we had to play clean up, the bodies were brought onto our ships mostly melted. But the armor is what we wanted. Most was damage beyond repair, but those that weren't I patched up and then used Upgrade to make it better. And gave it to the New Chapter of the Inferno Caste: The Blood Crows, I doubt it's original in this universe or the next but it gets the point across. Though the Armor is for the Tau-Artsates, it was painted with a lighter red than the Blood Ravens.
I then had a huge plethora of Sisters of Battle armor and Guardsman armor. Combining both of them with Farsight Tech made them far superior. Now being mass produced to all Farsight troops, we even gave the local allied planets these new Fae-Armor. Though we didn't give them our Bolt Lances we did give them regular Bolters, from rifles to pistols. With a special design, called a Weaponized Replicator. Full forty rounds, that takes thirty seconds to replenish half and a full minute to fill from empty. Pistol is 10/20 while the heavy bolter was 3 minutes to 6 minutes. Officers get plasma weapons, Same deal as before. They had a better cooling system and were made with better material. All soldiers get a diamond Kukri and of course Officers get a powered diamond sword.
After the attack we ramped up production, on not just personal weapons but all military weapons, food and resource gathering. We had slowly begun pushing back against the Imperium. In one engagement with the mars priest fleet, I used Round-Up. The whole fleet went insane and then sent a message for help. I was shocked, I don't know who would receive it. But they'll be doomed… Hours later, Tsunami-Domo's sleeper agents reported that a couple dozen star systems went through what we call, Mal0 Crashes. The tech priest either went mad and started killing each other and their allies or just shut down. Their organic bits starve or die outright from the sudden strain. They were all nearby systems too, so I had to take a break after that.
While I let the actual strategist go at the problem. I am a planner of sorts but more for the immediate problems. My squad and I went back to F.A.E base beta. We got a month off and did our best.. Well I did my best. I know I've been here for years now. But I'm not the skinny guy I was before. I had Muscles, a full rugged look and the trademark 'I've seen some shit' stare that a lot of soldiers had after traumatic events. I had gotten looks from the base's crew. Not one of awe but more love to watch you leave. I went to my bunk and played with the Watch and I saw Clockwork. I heard a throat clearing, I looked and saw Q-Jack. "What did you mean that I'm not alone?" He does a vulcan eyebrow, "When you enter this universe, you were copied into several forms. All but two others survived. One is on Holy Mars becoming a primaris marine while the other was taken by Chaos. We know he is alive but no longer himself."
"FUCK!" I rubbed my eyes, "I'm being tortured aren't I?" He sighed, He knew that I didn't ask which side I was asking. It's happening to both if not all of us. "Is there a way for a rescue?" He smirked, "We have a plan in place. Or at least for the Primaris-Jack, Chaos is still changing from norms." I nodded, "So, is this a heist scenario or I'll know it when I see it." He rolled his eyes, "It's a bit of both actually, but I'm sure that the plan will hit the fan and you'll need to improvise." It was my turn to roll my eyes. "And what about Chaos Jack?" I grimace, "Any ideas?" He nods and flashes us to the cafeteria.
Nobody saw us and he was now wearing a Tau Mechanic uniform with a starfleet com badge. We were sitting down. "We know when he got nabbed and when he'll get free. When he gets free he'll be a full fledged Chaos Lord. When he shows up we won't have much time, Clockwork and us will need to act fast. If not, we may lose him." I think for a moment, "What do you need Clockwork for?" He smiled, "We told you that he has great prediction power. What we need is 'Where he gets nabbed and where he'll get free.' When we have that we can step in and save him." I lean back in my chair.
"The Warp won't let him go that easily. Time means nothing to it." He nods, "That's why we've been gathering tiny tiny shards of He-who-must-not-be-name. We put those in him and we'll have a super saint on our hands." I thought of something, I started flipping through my watch and pulled up my Diablo Angel. The Greatest Good Prophet. "Can this guy help?" He looks at it, then chuckles. "Impressive Time-Lord said you would come up with a way to help out. One moment.." He flashes out for a good minute before coming back. "We talked it out, with this combined with the shards we will have him safe from harm." I nodded, then sighed. "What about the others, what happened to them?" He shrugged weakly, "Killed in transit or killed when encountering hostile life. Frankly it's a miracle that you three survived."
He looked at me in the implied scoff, "Right, You should get out of here I'm due to be sent out in a couple of minutes." I stood up and he was right next to me. "Lacy, listen you got a lot of good Ideas but you're gonna start hitting back your being pushed around time to push back." He snapped his fingers and disappeared in classic Q fashion. I accessed the QCQ and called up the Geth United Network.
GUN: Please state the reason for contact.
PCA1:This is PCA-1. I want to know if we know about all forest worlds in the Imperium?
GUN: Negative PCA-1 we know about 15 thousand. Notable world: Catachan.
PCA1: Out of all the worlds you pick the one I want. How thoughtful.
GUN: We are thoughts. What is it that you require?
PCA1: You're aware of Yggdrasil? I want you to make arrangements to send as many of them to the jungle worlds Included Catachan. And get the United Hive to send as many stealth units out into the surrounding areas. Take all precautions, to get to targets.
GUN: Acknowledge
I signed off and waited for the inevitable call coming from.. I raised an eyebrow. I answered and Kalm Elm responded. "You did something Mon-keigh?! You've changed the Paths!" I hung up, I'm not dealing with that bull.
GUN: Kalm-Farseer is requesting that you call her.
PCA-1: Tell her I'm not available at this time I'm being deployed.
GUN: Acknowledge
As I walked I went to the Tau-Hawk, where the squad was waiting. I looked around, Kai'rue wasn't here. "Where's Kai'rue?" Blana rolled her eyes, "She has more experiences with the Tau-hawk than anyone out here. Now she is teaching others to be just as good." I Tau girl came out of the Hawk. "Pilot Lasin R-reporting for duty sir." She was tall as my stomach with frayed red hair and shaking like a leaf. I turn to Carin, "She has top marks in everything that Kai'rue could throw at her. But she has a problem under authority." I turned back to her, She looked like she's about to cry. I think that if I said anything she'll implode.
I sighed, "Lets move out, I'm sure you'll prove yourself in the heat of battle." She nods, "YES SIR!" She turns and runs to the cockpit. I again turned to Carin, "How worried should I be?" He chuckled, "She'll follow your orders while praying to be saved from the mean Sargent." I gave him a 'Really?' look. He walks in and laughs. I followed, "Have you fuckers been telling horror stories about?" They all started laughing, While I heard Lasin shouting, "I SWEAR SIR I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO B-REXS, I PROMISE!" They laughed even harder. "I alright you shit-birds, take out your favorite rations and give it to Lasin now." They stopped laughing now.
Blana spoke up, "Sarge, it was just a joke we didn't mean anything by it." The best thing about inventing good food for rations is that it becomes a precious commodity. "Oh I don't mean anything about it either, think of it as an apology for scaring the pilot of our journey into hell and back." They all grumbled as they took out their favorite food items and went up to the Young Lasin and gave them to her.
After a few minutes of making sure everyone was strapped in, I went up to the cockpit and sat in the nav-seat i.e. shotgun. "Listen, I am not as bad as they make me out to be. I'm really a nice gu-" I finally looked at her and saw she was frozen mid meal. I gave her a moment to swallow what was in her mouth. "So I may have tricked the rest of the squad into thinking that I heard scary stories and had a few nightmares about you, thus making them tell more 'scary stories' and I played the terrified rookie." I looked back knowing that the door was closed. "When we get there you'll come clean and you'll share the rest of the haul with me as a tax."
She puts a hand to her chest, "What? The Sargent is going to tax me? How very Imperial." She tosses a protein packet to me. I caught it as I turned on my Tool and began reading the briefing. 'A Tech-priest ship was located near the Omega Moon Nebulas, our job is to either seize it or destroy it. It is thought to be a ship that was hit by the Mal0 Crash. Though it is unconfirmed. Expect hostiles(always) and find any useful data that could assist us. Signed Lieutenant Lankic and Commander Dar Lic Elm.' When I looked up I saw us entering Hyperspace or as the Farsight Scientists call it Tunnel Space. Due to the fact that it looks like a tunnel. They don't understand why we call it hyper-space. And apparently saying 'cause it's the 'classics man' isn't an answer. My Kids are weird. On a side note my Tyranid kids have conjoined with the rest of the hive on the same planet. If I get Zerg I'll scream bingo.
It only takes about three minutes to get out towards the Mechanicus ship. Lasin engaged the stealth systems. I got up and headed to the back. Everyone was putting on extra bits to help with the mission. Lasin followed me with her own helmet under her arm. With a confidant smirk she spoke. "Greetings, I am Air Caste Pilot Lasin. I am the best student of Kei'rue and I also like to scam people out of their food and or shiny bits. I hate being looked down on because of my short stature and I won't tolerate anyone calling me a kid or girly." She gave a snapped salute and then tossed her helmet up and it landed with her head inside.
They turn towards me expectantly, "You're not getting them back." They groaned, we all put on our helmets and waited for the Hawk to land. In all honesty I've never been on an Imperial Naval ship. And tau ships, even the older ones, were compacted. I turned to Lasin, "Keep the engine warm, if this is a trap, I want out as soon as possible." She saluted, "Sir, permission to set up drone works?" I nodded and pulled out my own plasma lance rifle. Marrick pulled out a plasma shotgun, a plasma rifle that fires a spread of plasma. Carin pulled out a plasma lance pistol with a light weight diamond tower shield. Fex Ura, our beloved mechanic, turned on a holo drone generator and immediately sent out a couple dozen drones to scout ahead of us. In a minute he will send out more.
Meanwhile Lasin had set up our spare Drone Works. The difference between a holo drone and regular drone is that the holo-drones are the drones from mass effect while the regular ones are the spider bots, RC cars and air drones, from watchdogs. Just built with better tech than what's scraped together. Soon a hundred spiders were setting up minor turrets and mines. Blana pulled out the LARD and switched to assault rifle mode. "Fex which way to the closest working terminal?" He pulled up a map to see where it would most likely be. "Down a maze of frozen death." He showed me and I saw hundreds of servitors in frozen battle as if time stopped in mid fight. Then showed where all the servitors were at. "Every corridor?" He nods grimly.
"And something tells me that if you spook one.." I nodded, "Maintenance tunnels?" He sent a drone to look for one, then another and another. Each one was welded shut. I blew out some air. "Okay, I doubt it'll work but elevators?" Two of the drones found one and it was working. The problem were the heavy weapons servitors that were suspiciously pointed at an angle that would give them a fast firing solution. I thought for a moment, "Okay have the holo-drones scan everything and then have the spider drones find a way to disable any and all the borgs." He nods, while Blana, Carin and I start to patrol the stupidly huge hanger bay. Lasin went to help Fex while Marrick was trying to tape the local comms net. With an expressed reason of going as slow as possible.
I can barely see the other side of this place. I mean I knew they were huge but god dammit I didn't appreciate the whole scale. Luckily we had an army worth of RC cars that were racing forward to scan and scout the way. While marking points of interest. There were seven whole containers of nothing but scrap. And another twenty with nothing but clothing items. One was filled with socks. My Radio crackles to life, "Sarge, a few things. The holo drones found vents that were too small for us, but not for them. Secondly Marrick thinks that the ship wasn't attacked by the Mal0 Crash. It doesn't have its chaotic method of attacking. Whatever happened here was done neatly and cleanly."
I nod to the other two, "Go on." "It's most likely that we're going to be here for a while. I recommend either calling for backup or building them. And lastly I found a console with little or no 'protection.' Other than that, nothing else to report." I looked at the giant crates of scrap metal. "Let's get to building, when we have a sizable force we'll call for support." "Aye Boss." he hung up and we waited for him to send help. We waited in silence till we heard a large scuttling sound. We turned to see a moving carpet of spiders and RC Cars while a flock of Air drones came overhead. Soon the cars were transformed into a flatbed, with thousands of wheels covering the bottom of the bed. While the Air drones were attached to the sides of a crate and were soon lifted up on top of the flatbed.
The wheels, which are the most durable thing in our Enclaves, bend slightly on the strain while the spiders crawled into the crate and started to take out the smallest bits. It didn't do much but soon they were on their way. Another carpet of spiders went to the other carts and started to carry out their portions. The good thing about those crates were that they were meant to survive reentry. So when we are done with one we use it as a barrier. The whole job took about five hours while we watched, with building tension, for any hostile forces. I made sure that the drones made photocopies to see if anything was different. So far nothing but after the first Droid Works were built, the job became easier. I decided the BX-Commando droids were the choice to help out.
They set up kill zones and went around the whole hanger to get other stuff from the crates. Soon every door was welded shut, covered up with more plates and then a spare crate. That took another five hours, but that was the only good news. Marrick came up with a frown. "Sorry Sarge, but the Blood Ravens are kicking up a storm. They sent several armadas towards the border worlds. Not to mention the Catachan wants our blood for what you sent there." "I'm guessing the Yggdrasil Trees are causing a mess with their lifestyle." He nods, "Yeah the World Tree Network is growing like a weed. And the Fae Hive Clusters are now joining them and causing an upsurge in the jungles. And the Blood Ravens are on a warpath to find the Blood Crows."
I arch my eyebrow, he rolled his eyes, "On the plus side whenever a Blood Raven screams out a war cry the Crows send one back." He pulled up his tool and played an audio, "Blood Raven: Knowledge is power! Blood Crows: Then Seize it, Orphan Bastards!" I looked up at Marrick, "They're spiteful aren't they?" He nods, "No kidding, On the plus side it's mostly our side that's winning." Another scene is shown, with a Blood Crow Biotic and Psionic fighting for their lives. Both let loose with a full powered Bio/Psi combo Singularity Rift attack. It shredded everything and everyone nearby. Another scene pops up with Regular Crow detonating an anti-matter missile to kill as many of the Ravens as possible. I nod in both approval and sadness, with a sigh I spoke, "Spiteful indeed, Let's worry about that later."
I signal everyone to head over to us and Ura brought up a hologram of every corridor, even with limited approaches there were still hundreds of miles worth of hallways. The elevator and console was marked and a red line was present throughout the corridors. Each line had a number of enemies. Usually up to a few hundred. "Now let's brainstorm, how can we kill as many of the Borg before they think it's a bad thing? Cause if I put a bet down the moment a significant number goes down the whole ship will come down." Ura rubs his chin, "We can have the spiders detonate their cores, it's a basic makeshift grenade. Same with the Cars and Air drones. If we place them in the right spots we get a bunch of killshots." Lasin pulls up her own hologram, with several images of turrets and mines.
"Though we block the other doors to the hanger and we have the one at the far end covered. I recommend that we let them walk through our door just to kill and then scrape." She highlights the mines, "and when we make our way through them we leave behind mine IFF mines so not to get ourselves killed." I looked at the map and saw the console and elevator were on different sides of the whole map. "No doubt the elevator and console are traps. But we still need to access both if we want any information. So we will spread out the whole drones to take care of the immediate Borg Horde then we wait for the rest to get moving."
I nodded to Ura and he got started, which took a better part of the day to complete the positioning. The holo-drones are still mapping out the corridors and have found pathways to other levels to the ship. Either welded shut or completely destroyed. Still we found an unnatural amount of servitors. Then we noticed that it wasn't just the regular kind but the ship crew and guardsmen were turned too. With a few Sisters of Battle scattered here and there. Ura gives a thumbs up with Lasin pulling out a lance pistol. Blana got on top of a crate to get a better spread. Carin gets ready to provide support. I transformed into Force-Bender, and began floating with legs crossed underneath me. I nodded to Carin, who nods back then presses the button on his Tool. From the door we saw several flashes and the hologram told us the corridors were being cleared.
And we waited… and waited… after an hour I turned to Carin. "Sorry boss but so far nobody is heading towards us." I unfolded my legs till they touched the ground. "Any movement at all?" He checks again and shakes his head. "None." I turned to Marrick, "Are we sure that this wasn't a Mal0 Crash target?" He shakes his own head. "Not a hundred percent, but it's greater than ninety. All evidence points to something else happening." I think for a moment then transform back. "Okay let's pick up the bodies and do some investigating." The BX's went through and brought enough bodies back for us to figure out what's going on. We line them up based on rank. The autopsy was done by Carin and the BX's. They watch him do it a dozen or so times and next thing you know we got a butcher/chop shop going on.
Soon we had a good picture of what was going on with the servitors. Everything was uniformed, from the Implantes to the organs. They were clones, and lucky us the clones weren't of the Lady Inquisitor Marise Legionosa but I felt my heart sink when we realized who the clones are. "Fuck me how the fuck did that get a hold of my cloning tech?" Carin shook his head, "I'm more worried about your DNA being in their hands." I shook my head, "What of the Sisters and the Guardsmen?" He shook his head, "The Sisters weren't clones and only half of the Guards were you while the other half had organ transplants. Hell, even some of the sisters have some of your guts in them." I think for a moment, "Have the Droids break into the closed off rooms and maintenance tunnels. I want a full picture now, Ura, I want you to bring Geth online, Lasin coordinates with the BXs to get the most done in the fastest way possible. Marrick, got a sitrep on the Border War and asked to send available units."
I turn to Blana and Carin, "I need you guys to be prepared for possible non-borgs that might be hiding around the ship. They are either scared or starving." Blana grimaces, "Jack they might be your clones. Clones that have probably been brainwashed to think you're the Greater Evil." A joke to most Tau people but she is right. "I know, but if they fight us just knock them out okay, I know we don't use it often but there is a stun setting on your weapons." With the help of the BXs and the growing Geth presence. The Geth began to take apart the Servitors, just in case they woke up. Marrick rushed over to me while I was looking at the progress on the map. "Sarge! Commander Elm wishes to know how bad it would be if the Imperium gets high-end cloning tech." I nodded and followed him over to the Comms station.
Dar Lic Elm faces clean and proper as always, but she had a couple new scratches and scars. I saluted, "Ma'am, to answer your question, The Imperium isn't hurting for manpower. But if they turn every clone into a servitor and have a large enough facility to clone then turn. Then they have a huge disposable Work and Attack force." She nods grimly, "I'm sending you a battle cruiser that will help secure the ship." I nodded, "Your new mission objective is to find out if they sent the plans elsewhere." I heard a distant explosion in the background of the call. "Over and out." The call ended and I sent our Droid works into overdrive. Within the hour the Battle Cruiser The Huntress Divides pops into existence. They sent a huge fleet of Tau-hawks into the hangar and the other hangers as well.
I then felt my neck hair stand up as I saw the first tau-hawk open up and out comes Kalm Elm. "Oh shit" She gracefully walks towards me, practically floating. When she got to me, she took a breath in and then sighed. "Well what did you do?" I went over to a small crate and sat offering another one to her. She looked at it offended, but sat down nonetheless. I take in a breath of air, "I've been informed by my greater parts that Nurgle is raping Isha." She stiffens, "She will give birth to a Goddess that would be a horrible combo of the two. The Cancer Goddess." If I hadn't been an Eldar myself, I don't think I would be able to tell that her breathing was slightly quicker.
"Can we stop it?" I shook my head, she stood abruptly and left for her own shuttle. Blana came up to me, "She seems upset? I don't know how to read her face." I nod, "Let's get on with the mission I want to go home and sleep." We walked over to the new base of operations. Which was a few dozen small crates that act as tables and chairs. Other Sargents were waiting, with a familiar face in the middle. "Gavit! What the hell are you doing here?" The Bald Tau that was my commander back in basic. Even if the basics didn't last as long as it's supposed to. He looked at me and I noticed that I was now taller than him. "I see your still trouble, Recruit! Causing problems for us hard working soldiers." We clasped arms and I was giving him a toothy smile.
He was giving me one back, "I'm here to solve your problem, any idea how they took your clone tech?" I shook my head, "Not a one, Either we got a new recruit who isn't as loyal or someone snuck in and…" I rubbed my eyes, "I don't know if you've been told but I was nearly assassinated a while ago." He narrows his eyes then they widen. "So I'm guessing they sent it off to who knows who and then tried to kill the source." I nodded a bit angrily, "I should have known that's how they got it. Dammit!" He pats my back, "This why you should've stayed in basic, I would have taught you better." I rolled my eyes, "Well I at least I get shit done old man." He laughed.
"Well if you're so smart why haven't you turned to the mechamorph and cleaned this up?" I nodded as I took my seat/crate and started the brief. "To answer that question, when we first got here we thought the place was hit by the Mal0 Crash but then we found out that wasn't the case. Now I'm thinking about using it to see what's happening around the place." The other Sarges looked at each other before nodding. I lifted up my Watch and transformed into Upgrade. My form has changed over the course of being here. One was the color scheme, I now look more or less like Ben's Upgrade, though with Tannish Yellow instead of white. Next was the digitigrade lines, which became more organic and flowy.
I merged with the ship and began to spread. The machine spirit began querying me on my access codes. I looked at them and realized that it's full of junk data. 'I wonder if there is a /help option.' No sooner than I said that a literal task manager popped up in front of me. About several thousand pages worth of crap clogging the system. I looked for the imported bits and ended the unimportant tasks. I felt the whole ship rebooted, "Lace? Was that you?" I heard Gavit talk with some concern. I made a hologram, due to the fact that people don't like seeing me goop up towards them. "Sorry sir, there was so much crap slowing down the ship, it's no wonder they had to use rituals to make things work." I spread to all parts of the ship and found a dozen or so different tribes of clones.
Some were turned into servitors or had scavenged gear to protect themselves. Any and all frozen servitors were absorbed and disassembled. I release a gas that knocks all of them out. While I was doing this I led an army to each tribe and had them picked up and put into cryo-tubes. Hastily made but should hold out till we get them Home. On the plus side the ship was a rogue ship. Marise sent them the plans only for a coup to happen right after. Apparently from the records my clones rebelled cause they felt that they were being miss treated but not knowing why. So they fought back, by hacking the servitors and turning the rest of the crew into servitors. The problem was they didn't know what else to do and it took a while to shut off the clone tanks. And me being me, they didn't like being cooped up with people for too long. There wasn't any fighting; they just left and formed their own groups.
They didn't try to get the ship working, they didn't know how. It kinda turns out like Metro 2033 with quality gear being traded for food or water. They even had hydroponics up and running. It's the simplest version made into a giant version but it works. After getting everyone together we shipped them off to the nearest base. I was back in the cockpit of the Hawk when Kalm Elm came to me. "How do I save my people?" I looked at her. She had no makeup on and her hair was undone, she was vulnerable. She was asking me for help… a mon-keigh. Her eyes were red and puffy. I pulled my Watch up and taped it three times. "This can do a lot of good as well as evil. I'm going to call on my other parts to help save your people. But we got to save one of our own first."
She takes a shuddering breath, "What makes you even want to help us. You haven't even asked for anything in return." I smiled, "There is no rest for the wicked, and no good deed goes unpunished. I want you to see us, lesser races, as more than barbarians. I know it'll take time but Eldar are extremely long lived. You have time." I stood up and walked over to her and raised my right hand with the Omnitrix. She looked at it, and clasped my arm with her own. "On my solemn Vow Farseer, I will do my absolute best to help your people." She takes a breath, "On my Oath as a Farseer, I will assist you in this endeavor." I bowed my head to her. She left and my squad was ordered to the newest planet in our growing Empire. In sub-sector Aurelia.
At the very edge of Sub-sector Aurelia was a minor world that held no importance until the Farsight Auxiliary Enclaves claimed it. It was dubbed Dagger's Tip. The planet came under attack almost immediately. But now the lonely system was a hotbed of war. The planet wasn't large enough to even hold a population but the Forge Army was steadily growing. We arrive in the system in the hail storm of every kind of weapon in this universe. Worse was that we were outnumbered 100 to 1. The only thing holding them back was our Tech Advantages. We made our way to the aptly named Dawn of War. A first of her kind Tau-class Battlebarge. It was 10 times the size of the regular version.
It bore the Blood Crows symbol, There were a dozen Tau Destroyers holding the line. We docked and practically sprinted to the nearest command station. Even with all the tech, holding the monster together. I can still feel the ship shuddering with how much fire it took. When we got there a couple dozen Fae operatives yelling and working the best of their sector's area. I looked around the room and found the site to site transporters. We weaved our way through to the pads and transport to the main command room. There were several hundred people here. All working and shouting I notice the captain of the DoW. I walked over to him. Like all Marines he was a giant, He turned to notice me. "Hey old man, Come see me off to school?" He grinned at me. I nodded in turn. "There's a lot out there, do you have a name that I may call you by?" He hmm at me, "I am the Crow-Father and I have an idea on how to beat them. I'll need your help." I looked up at him expectantly.
"We use Round-Up, and shut them down." I nod and head over to a console. He presses a few buttons and, "Attention all FAE vessels shut down coms and go radio silent for three hours. Unless I signal otherwise." A few minutes pass with confirmations going back and forth. Soon our coms could only hear the enemies." I transformed and entered the comms array. I multiplied and spread like a virus, I accessed the ships datastream and /helped. With so many pages numbering the millions now. I select all and End Tasks. Now before the system rebooted everything, now only the power was on. I could now see the Tech Priest trying to wake up the Machine spirits. I on the other hand open up every door on the ships. Then the hangers and airlocks.
With the anti-gravity field turned off, hundreds of thousands of people were sucked out into the vacuum of space. The only people left were those that didn't need to breathe. And with magnetic boots. They began to head to the engine bays presumably to force a detonation. I then hack a radio calling for assistants near the various groups on the ships. They answered and were infected with me. Chaos erupted between the Priesthood and only the strongest survived before I caused their machine parts to shut down. Then I had the ships move towards the dock yards. Where they will be manned by our forces. I returned to the Dawn of War as a hundred more FAE vessels entered carrying enough replicators to fill the ships up.
We had the better part of the day to take over the whole fleet before enemy reinforcements arrived again. However it became an effective strategy to use against the enemy. We managed to do it five more times before they caught on. It was the 6th attempt at pushing us out that they had shut off their comms to stop the Mal0 Infection. The Imperium can field a stupid number of fleets. And the last one was the largest of them all. As it was being led by a dozen or so battlebarges. Most of it was the Blood Ravens, the rest were a bit more surprising. Two were of the Ultramarins, another pair were of the Blood Angels. And one was of the Dark Angels. I put on a savage grin, I looked at Crow-Father. He nods and I open a system wide broadcast.
"To all Imperial Vessels, the Asartes in particular. The Lion lives in the Rock. Blood Angels, the Apothecaries of the Lamenters had found a cure of the Red thirst and the Black Rage. The Inquisition dubbed them a renegade chapter for reasons unknown to us. Ultramarines, Your Primarch will return followed by the Lion. And Blood Ravens I know of your 'Primarch'." I ended the transmission. Crow-Father watches as the entire armada stops in its tracks. At the Order of the Asartes, a Channel opens up from the Ultramarines, "How have you gained this knowledge?" I opened up a transmission to the vessel. "The Lamenters info was happened upon by pure accident on our part. We had found one dead in a lone thunder-hawk. It crashed on a moon near our original border."
"The Lion Info was discovered from listening to them. In all honesty we don't have concrete proof of that. But mentions of the Watchers in the Dark and rumors on what is at the bottom of the Rock paints a picture. For your own Primarch it is the only logical conclusion that the Emperor would revive him first when he gains enough power. He is the only one stable enough to control the logistics of it." I took a breather and sighed, "As for the Blood Ravens, You are the combination of all the Traitor Primarchs. You were created to hunt them down and kill them. But it failed, now you're desperate to find every bit of Knowledge." Before I could continue my heart stopped my lungs screamed for oxygen. I then transformed into Mind-Sweeper.
I roared psionically, You dare?! I was trying to be helpful to give you a chance at hope but you would rather keep your secrets. No more! I reached out to all the Inquisitors and snuff them out of existence. As a last bit of mercy I sent them to the Emperor. I reached out to him for a brief moment before I went back to my own body. Will you listen now?! Or will you be the monsters that you fight? A mind reached out from the Blood Angels. Can we be cured? I could see him now and he was on the verge of falling. Find the Lamenters apothecaries. Absorb them into your ranks if you must but they have the knowledge or at least the path to it. I do not have names other than the Chapter. His mind closed off as they left. Along with the Dark Angels.
But the Blood Ravens called for blood and the Ultramarines only sent a messenger with a small fleet that fled. I transformed back to myself. As Blana walked up next to me, with a solemn nod the fight was back on but now we had the number advantage. But that was the whole point. They've been holding us off from invading while they pour more ships into the system. Leaving the rest of the sub sectors around Sub-sector Aurelia with little to no defenses. And with our production value through the Universal Roof. We surround the sub-sector with jammers so they don't hear the distress calls. Then we sent an invasion force to take over the Feudal and Savage Worlds.
With the forward operating bases settled we began to choke the Sub-sectors. Attacking supply lines and turning enemy soldiers into turncoats. I could see the whole operation from one of the Dawn of War's command posts. Soon entire Sub-Sectors near the FAE territory were added and incorporated. Some had openly rebelled before we got there. Cause when your army and working class start to get hungry the holy nobles get removed. Plus when we came with entire fleets of Food Replicators to feed the starving and medicines for the dying. Loyalty was easy to gain, plus the Armies were overjoyed with state of the art Imperial Equipment. I.e Fae equipment.
A lot of them ask us if they have to give up their worship of the Emperor. Instead of saying we don't care, we have actively encouraged them to continue their worship. Tell them that the worship is what gave the Emperor the power to Kill Horus and save the Imperium. Since starting the Tau-Asartes cloning project, we have learned how to make more without cloning and much safer than the Imperium. So we started recruiting from all FAE aligned worlds, only 18 year old Males would become Asartes. However we had other super soldier programs. 19 to 30 males and females would be given the American Spartan makeover.
It was the Combination of Marvel's Super-Soldier serum and the Halo's Spartan augmentations. Soon we had other Tau Chapters rising up. Each one was led by a Clone Champion to help through the whole process. Of course the Blood Ravens realized that their numbers were dwindling so they made a retreat back to the homeworld. The Ultramarines were also stuck here and were waiting for possible rescue. We found a way to help the Psykers from going mad in our midst. I was a combo of Mind-sweeper clones and designing of armor, staff and Hood that would scare off the Horrors of the warp. Not only would this new Psyker Armor scare off the demons it would eat the energies to fuel the Psyker. They still had to train to fortify their minds but they are a lot safer.
We started to build military schools to train every child from the ages of 5 to 17. Teaching them how to do math, biology and other things. As they age, they learn to do harder subjects. Such as first aid and savaging for food. How to cook with the barest ingredients, hunting, fishing and survival. Soon they are given weapons training. They are trained to use the Fae Bolters and Chainswords. How to throw a grenade, how to do a field repair and how to communicate with officers. Minor things that they learn are sign language and code phrases. The classic Thunder/Lighting call out was used.
We also used art as a means to convey codes and hidden messages. The former factories were rebuilt to help with the new influx of equipment needs. Though they are using the Industry Replicators, equipment needs to be moved and stored so we made Droids for the work. While those who have been working their whole lives get to live in new homes that give them filtered air, water and better food. They have heating and AC with comfortable beds. The first time people slept in them. Their families thought they had died because of how still they've become. Though we had to teach them to sleep on their side for a while so as not to have them suffocate. We even went further as to give them a small copy of the Lectitio Divinitatus as well as the Uplifting Primer the Guardsman Bible.
Each home is also given a radio so that we can give them news that is happening around the galaxy and the Farsight Enclave as a whole. It starts with a prayer, a moment of silence and then ends with a prayer. Our recruitment was now at an all time high. I even set up a church service type deal where everyone once a month goes to the local Church to hear preaches and sing songs to the Emperor. After months of this, Sub-Sector Aurelia was abandoned in a hail mary blockade run. We made sure that they paid for it in blood. The moment they left we swooped in and took over. Only to find the aftermath of a civil war. As chaos is now running rampant, Tyranids are gorging themselves, Necrons marching and the remaining loyalists are fighting in a battle of survival.
We broadcast to the survivors that we are here to help. As our new Black Mage Units head to fight chaos, the Metal Castes head off to the Necron. For the first time however I get to face the Nids. I transformed into Bugger who had grown to be as tall as a primarch and just as wide. I felt their hive mind pressed on to my own. I got feelings of hunger and commands to bow and serve. For a moment it felt right to, but then I felt my own hive mind and with a resounding NO! We slammed into the hive mind with great force. For the first time in a long time, they had Competition. I use a power that was stolen from the Zerg. Recall but being powered by the Warp, Psionic and the Force. A veritable swarm of the Tau Hives appears. Both sides stared each other down.
Then a roar ripped from my throat and we charged at each other. We cut into them as they did us, it was a crazy few moments as Psi Rifts and Bio Singularities tore them. While the Tyranids spit acid and clawed at our own forces. 'Mother-Father, we are on the planet. We will start our own hive to support you. We have alerted The Blacken Hunters to your needs. They will be there shortly.' I sent a confirmation back to the Hive. Soon Tau-Hawks were screeching across the sky. Dropping a payload on the Nids, and from the fire and flames came a large warrior. It was a Hive Tyrant, Melee variant. We spotted each other, and charged into the fray. Before I reached it, it swung a blade at me.
I blinked to the other side of the blade. And whipped my own blade into its side. It jumps back before the blade hits spinning to face me. I started to blink in and out of view, leaving cuts into the monster. It started to swing widely, giving me a few cuts of my own. The Tyrant was then fired upon, I turned to see the Blacken Hunters were moving in slowly keeping their distance. I roar and blink towards the Beast, I grabbed at its tail. And with all the strength I had I pulled and swung the monster towards a destroyed building. I then used my Psyker abilities to pull the rest of the building down on it. I called towards the Hunters, "Grenades! Missiles! Everything!" They fired everything and tossed all they higher.
Then I saw the Beast rise up, it was scared up and broken. It looked at me with alien hatred, then the ground around it slowly floated up and I looked up. All three pairs of my eyes widened, The next thing I knew I was Recalled by the New Tau-Hive, along with The Blacken Hunters. I transformed back into myself. I fell to my knees and tried to breathe. I then found that I could, I looked up to see a Hunter librarian. "Greeting friend, Are you well now?" He reached down with his hand, I grabbed on and was hoisted up. "Thank you, did we kill the thing?" Before he could answer, "We managed to kill it but just barely." I turn to see a Tyranid version of Kerrigan. Though no high heels, she wore an organic version of the Fae Armor. She had a Xenomorph tail and a huge pair of leathery wings.
"My name is Kali Hela, Queen of the United Swarm." She was tall as the Marines, She knelt down to be near eye level with me. "We have many problems to deal with. The Tyranids are now our problem. You need to deal with Chaos." I nodded, "What of my squad?" The Hunter spoke, "They are being assigned to the survivors. Who has been giving the help that they desperately needed." I nodded, A Hawk came in and I heard a familiar voice, "Board up Shifter! We go to kill or be killed." I ran up into the shuttle and came into the cockpit, "Kei'Rue you old bird, welcome back to the fight!" I went to sit when I saw the Lasin sitting there. "Oh I see how it is, I didn't realize you hated me so much." She gave a small pout.
I rolled my eyes, and sat behind her, we rocked off towards the chaos forces. I could see moving giants, walking towards our own titans. Though Farsight could now produce new versions of their own Titans, someone in the Metal Caste decided that recreating every version of the Gundums was a good idea. From the Original versions to crossovers into Code Geass and Evangelion. I went to the back, "Fly high!" I could feel the Hawk climb, the back opening up. And when we were just above the Enemy, I jumped and shouted "WAY BIG!" I landed on top of a corrupted Feral Titan. It was crushed and I dashed off to fight the other monsters. There were a total of five Ferals and 6 Ravagers with one Warlord, all began to move to fight me off.
Despite their giant sizes, the former warhounds can in fact run at incredible speeds. I took that personally, I charged towards them as the Ferals began to fire at me. While they keep up with the pace that I had. I then did a roundhouse kick to one flinging it across the battlefield and into another enemy Titan. Which pissed it off and it began to tear into the former ally. One of the Ravagers came up behind me and took a swing at me. Using one of my bladed fins on my arms I blocked it and used the other to slice into the Ravager. I could feel the metal breaking and hear it screeching. The Titan itself roars and goes to cut into me with its giant chainsword. I jumped back away and charged an energy blast. It was enough to kill the monster.
I see the other Ravagers charging at me, while a bunch of friendly Gundums come up on the Warlord. Using their own giant beam blades, to cut into the monster. I could also see a large number of Knightmare frames taking on Chaos own Demon infested Vehicles. I went into a stance and started to tear into the titans. Though to be honest they got off a few shots that I should be careful with. This went on what felt like minutes but was probably only a few seconds. I ripped apart the final Titan, and turned to help with the Warlord, only to see it a smoking ruin. I shrugged and began to stomp on the other vehicles. The only ones that gave me trouble were the flyers. But like flies they were swatted away. Chaos is in full retreat and I got a chance to look at the Tau-Mechas.
They were all dented and scratched up, but they were still standing and they gave a salute. I did the same and transformed back into me. I didn't have time to stand still as I got a call from the command base on the planet. "Sargent we need the chaos forces routed now. The Dawn of War is dropping off as many forces as it can spare and we are establishing factories and forges in the safe zones. You have permission to use any and all methods of killing Chaos." "Roger roger!" When I go to turn I see everyone frozen, I turn again to see J-Q, he looks tired and haggard, and even has a cut on his cheek. "Q-Jack what happened?" He snapped his fingers and we were in a large library. He went to a table and chairs and sat down. I followed suit and somewhere in between blinks the rest of the group appeared.
Jackhatten was also bruised and hurt while J-X's suit was scuffed and torn. I saw Time-Lord who looked fine but was standing unsettlingly. And we have two new friends, Clockwork and a Clown… "Oh shit! Your HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" I clamped a hand on my mouth. He grinned madly at me, "Don't wear it out." I can hear laughter in the background, but they sound painful and very forced. I nodded, "So what happened?" Q-Jack coughs a little, "We kinda failed and succeeded, We managed to save our way word friend but with the amount of His energy, it went to Holy Terra and possessed Primaris Jack. Who was then transformed into Saint Jack and has spilled the beans on us and everything."
Jackhatten nodded solemnly, I on the other hand shook my head, "Why is this a bad thing, they all turned to the Clown." Who giggles, and Jackhatten speaks up, "We made a deal with him to help gather the shards and splinters. We underestimated how thorough he was. Now Saint Jack is more Him then us then you." The Clown chuckles again as J-X talks, "We wanted a saint that was more affable to the Tau cause. To show both the Imperiums Faithful and that of the Tau are one in the same." Clockwork made a series of clearing of the throat. "He has been put in charge of the Custodes and has made a point to send two to every loyal legion. And he is making his way to the Ultramarines Homeworld of Maccrag; he plans to revive the Primarch ahead of time." I lean back and gesture for him to continue. "Not only has taking over the Custodes, the assassins as well. And from the heart of Terra and outward they will purge the people that are slowing the whole system down."
"He has also woken up the Primaris Marines, and is sending them off to the loyalists too." I hold up a hand, "Who the hell even put him in charge? I doubt that all the High Lords agreed to it." The Clown chuckles as Q-Jack speaks up, "We put a lot of splinters and shards into Saint Jack what we didn't realize was that He found Chunks and threw them into the mix too." Clockwork continues, "He has ordered every chapter to merge with their original Legions while those who couldn't trace them to head to the nearest stronghold. Not only that he has sent a pardon to Loyal Renegade chapters to do the same." The Clown begins to laugh. "I guess now you need me to say what I want in return, yes?" He got and literally danced around to me.
"It's time to save the Eldar, I'm going to send you to an empty place, and with the power invested in you. You will build them a home. You will bring them home and you will make an avatar for my brother Khaine. And wake up Ynnead. With a little cherry of freeing Isha out of her prison." I didn't realize at first but I was smiling rather widely that it hurt my face. "When?" He tilted his head and I did the same. "Now." The Omnitrix begins to glow. I transformed into all of my God-tier aliens. It was fusion unlike anything out there. Before I could react I was transported to an empty spot in space. I soon began to create. A healthy yellow star that appears with five super gas giants with over 300 moons. One of the said moons was a super planet. A second later the entire Eldar people were here. I could feel their panic and with a flick of my hand the Bonesingers were transported to the new world.
I command them to construct four new avatar bodies. With the entire Bonesinger population here it was done within an hour. I reached out and found all the shards of Khaine, then I had Ynnead wake up to fill his Avatar. The third Avatar was taken over by Cegorach. With another flick every Eldar wraith construct was summoned, then a portal to the Warp opens. We charged in and were met with the very Cancer in the Warp. We burned our way through till me and Khaine found Isha. Khaine did all he could to burn the Plague around us. I picked her up and we ran, Ynnead causing death to all who tried to stop us. While Cegorach causes the Warp around us to twist and tear.
The Whore gave a shriek of anger, as Ynnead tore into them. The War didn't come for us, this fight alone is enough for it. The Plague groaned under the assault of Khaine, and the Changer was blocking my way out. But out of nowhere, four beings rushed into the fight. Gork and Mork went to fight the War, While The Anathema struck at the Changer. The Good One helps him fight off the Changer. And what seems like eons I step out of the Warp with Isha and placed her being into the forth Avatar. Soon after Khaine, Ynnead, and Cegorach came out where we all closed the portal. A howl of laughter escapes from Cegorach and the Eldar Gods disappear. I was transported back to the original world that I came from and wiped out the Chaos and the Tyranids from the system.
I transformed back into myself and I blacked out right after. Before the darkness took me I heard a voice, "DNA acquired" I slept for what feels like no time at all. But was in fact in a coma for the better part of a year. Blana had been promoted to take over the squad and had gone on a killing spree of the enemy. Roboute Guilliman was woken up to assist the Newly Crown-Prince. The Lion has also woken up and is doing a mass recruitment of both the Fallen and Loyal Dark Angels.
The Marines that couldn't trace their origins were placed into Deathwatch. The Gray Knights have been ordered to join with the Custodes, to go out of their way to hunt demons and collect any and all artifacts. The Crown-Prince has called forth a recruitment of Blanks across the Imperium. And Guilliman the Lord-Commander has ordered a truce between the Tau, Eldar and the Imperium. In turn the Tau Empire, the Farsight Enclaves and the Farsight Auxiliary Enclaves, formed the Tau Alliance. The Light Eldar joined the Farsight Enclaves. The Crown-Prince called forth every Librarian in the Imperium, and with great honesty said that they will help the Emperor Recover. And when I finally woke up I was called up to deal with a problem. I had to be wheeled into a meeting with Commander Farsight, Commander Shadowsun of the Tau Empire, Yvraine of the New Eldar Enclave, and Dante of the Blood Angels.
Farsight was the first to speak, "This is Sargent Jack Lace and he is the one who helped out with our mutual problems." Shadowsun bowed his head, and Yvraine did a courteous nod, while Dante stared at me from behind his fathers mask. Shadowsun clears his throat. "How did you accomplish this, O'Shovah said it was that device on your arm but I think we would all like to know." I swallowed harshly and I stood up, which was a bitch and a half to do. I looked all of them in the eyes, and after sucking in some air I said with as much conviction as I could. "I have absolutely no idea how I did any of it." For a second I thought we entered space with how quiet it got. When Dante spoke his voice was low and harsh. "Really?" I nodded my head, and sat back down.
"My God-like aliens were trying to find a way to help the Imperium and the Tau as a whole. What I didn't know is that They asked the First Fool to help collect the Shards of the Emperor while they found splitters and shards, The Clown found chunks, and they put in two other versions of me." I dialed a transformation, "Give me a second, I'm tired of dealing with how weak I am now." I transformed into my Tau form Leader-Sting, after standing up and stretching a bit. I transformed back and stretched again. Dante spoke again, "Chaos is pulling back for the first time in multiple lifetimes. The Orks have disappeared and their Feral counterparts are keeping to themselves. The Tyranids are gone from the Galaxy and the Necrons are waking up in more numbers now than ever."
I looked at him with a serious expression. "So a mixed bag?" Yvraine speaks, "You've have done the impossible, I know for a fact that the Drukhari are now in a war with She Who Thirsts and with the New Aeldari Seer Grand Council have mange to divined that the Devourer will come back within the next thousand years. The Old Machines will be needed to fight them." I turned to Dante, "What do you need?" He sighs, "The Crown-Prince has requested that you come to Holy Terra and help revive the Emperor." I then looked at Yvraine, who nodded, "I am here to say thank you for saving my people and to request that a clone of the Free-Seer be able to join us." Shadowsun speaks up next, "And I am here to negotiate with the Farsight Enclaves." I nodded and looked back at Dante.
"Let's go and revive your granddaddy." Farsight clears his throat, "Jack, please remember your loyalties while you are at the Homeworld of Humanity. And also as of this moment you are now known as Ambassador Lace." I gave him a proper Tau salute. When we got to the Blood Angels Thunderhawk I was greeted by two sights. One was the top 10 Chapter Masters of the Blood Angels and second was my squad. "Any reason you guys are here?" Sargent Blana came up and hugged me, I returned it. She then stepped back, "We have formally requested to go with you. But were denied by upper command. This is Our send off." They all gave me a salute I returned it and when I then pumped my fist as my armor appeared around me. I walked up the gang plank of the Thunderhawk and found a seat. Next to the cockpits doors.
The Master Squad kept their eyes on me through the whole trip, and when we docked with the Absolution's Ire I walked out in front of the Rest of the Chapter Masters, each flanked by the Chapters top council. I was escorted to a room and was told to stay as there will be guards throughout the hallway to keep me there. I shrugged and headed to the only chair in the room and sat down as I began to go through the new aliens. And I had gotten a lot of new ones. The rest of Mass Effect was in there and a lot from star wars, trek and gate. A few from the SCP universe and a bunch from DND. After a few minutes of looking My eyes widened and I cursed under my breath. "Fucking Bingo."
