On a lost colony in Alpha Core

Looking at the back of the doctor Troy complained, “This place is just awful. The living quarters are cramped and the food is disgusting. The people are filthy and are quite savage. Not to mention the equipment they use seems like things that were used back in my grandfather’s time.” Walking through the halls of the Observatory, Troy tried to keep up with withered old man in front of him. Dr. Harrison walked with a purpose, and it was hard to keep pace carrying the equipment to the viewing chamber.

Not looking back Dr. Harrison replied, “Mr. Denton you must understand that to be a scientist, you must sometimes be forced to go places and do things that you normally wouldn’t do. I made it very clear when you accepted my apprenticeship that I would spend no time hearing your bickering. Now come, we must be swift in our actions so that we may go unnoticed.

In the viewing room, Dr. Harrison opened up a cryogenic suitcase to reveal a half damaged chunk of gadgetry that had a faint glow to it. With his arms spread open Dr Harrison said, “This is what I wanted to show you.”

“Wha…..what is it,” asked Troy. “It’s the thing that brought us here.” replied Dr. Harrison. “The commoners call it crimson technology. They are relics from an old alien race that use to inhabit this galaxy. These relics hold great power, power that everyone wants to uncover. Simply put, they are what brought us here and they are what can take us home.”

“So that means everyone is gonna want them right?” asked Troy.

“Precisely, Mr. Denton.” Dr Harrison replied. “The factions have been searching diligently for crimson remains and are having quite the success. Knowing them, they will probably be careless and ruin valuable data that can be uncovered and that cannot happen.”

“So how are we going to stop them?” Troy asked.

“Well here is one alternative,” Dr. Harrison replied. He brought up a galaxy map on the vid screen. On it they were four locations that were marked. “These planets hold a vast amount of crimson technology.”

“How do you know that?” asked Troy.

“Because these are the locations of the faction homeworlds.” replied Dr. Harrison.

“Ok, so which faction does this planet belong to?” Troy asked as he selected the location on the bottom left.

“That is Takaji, the Technocrat homeworld.” the doctor replied. “I’ve heard that it’s a very phenomenal place. It is said that the worlds best Technology comes from there. Can you believe these people were once extremely religious? They once believed in the god Unitos but lost faith after a tragic incident left them almost extinct. After the incident they switched their obsession to the study of science. An obsession, that hasn’t failed them just yet. ” He pointed to the upper right of the map and said, “And this one all the way over here is the Discordian homeworld of Eros.

“What are they all about,” Troy asked.

“They are religious folk who worship some goddess of the void,” the doctor replied. “They’re kind of crazy if you ask me. Never cross them or they will swarm you like a hornets nest. Now if you look in between those two you will find the Aquila faction. They are like the exact opposite of the Discordian. Watching the vid screen zoom in on the location, Troy listened intently.

“Now these guys are pretty full of themselves.” explained Dr. Harrison. “They think that the whole galaxy belongs to them and they intend to take it to. They also take pride in their military. It is truly one of the finest I have ever seen. Not to mention their homeworld Perth is like a Fortress.”

Clearing his voice Troy said, “So we don’t want to mess with them. Got it.” Pointing to the bottom right of the screen he said, “What I really want to know is why you left this faction out and why they have a circle around them.”

“Patience,” Dr Harrison replied. “I was getting to them. We are looking at the planet Seneca, homeworld to the Scion faction. The Scions are money loving people. They are obsessed with it. They will probably search out the crimson relics just so they can sell it to the highest bidder. They live for the now and don’t care what happens in the future as long as they can live prosperous in it. With this said, the reason they have a big circle is because we are going there first.

“WHAT!!!!!!!!!!” Troy exclaimed. “Why do we have to travel to the factions?” “The factions cannot be trusted with these relics,” the doctor replied. “They will probably use its powers to try to conquer the galaxy. I intend to take the relics from them and put them to good use. I intend to find us a way back home.” “When the factions find out the relics they found have been stolen they will think the other factions did it.” Troy explained. They will want war.

With a smirk Dr. Harrison replied, “What better way to make our task easier than to have WARRING FACTIONS.”
