Minion222 Tson Namek
A very brief rift signature is detected before a single ship exits at an almost turtle pace. The most basic of scanners could easily mistake it for noise. The single ship was an Assault-Class troop transport, or dropship as some tend to call it. There was no control ship, beacon, subcore or coreship nearby. This is very strange to any who were able to detect the dropship.
Meanwhile, inside the ship, a Coordinator-type Assault android with the designation ZAXON (Pronounced Zaxxon, or "Zack's On") discusses the situation with other Slave-AI android leaders.
ZAXON: "WE HAVE DETECTED AN EVER LEGION SHIP NEARBY - IT IS LIKELY TO INTERFERE WITH THE MISSION."
Elite Leader-type model: "Don't they know we are enemies of the Collective?"
Elite Heavy-type model: "UNLIKELY, THEIR SOFTWARE IS SO OUTDATED THEY MIGHT AS WELL DESIGNATE ALL COLLECTIVE ASSETS AS HOSTILE."
Pilot-type model: "Reminder: Stealth and speed are of importance in this endeavor - Invalid-Foxtrot states this deceased individual has important information on what is presumed to be the power of immortality."
Elite Leader-type model: "We should hide in the sixth layer for another period of time - say 08 Blue - until the EL Gunship leaves the system."
ZAXON: "UNACCEPTABLE, THE PHYSICAL COPY OF THE INFORMATION WILL EXPIRE IN APPROXIMATELY 04 BLUE - AND WE REQUIRE IT TO CROSS-REFERENCE THE SPIRITUAL COPY OF THE MEMORY AND INFORMATION."
Elite Heavy-type model: "I STILL FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE MOST INHABITANTS IN THIS GALAXY HAVE YET TO PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF THE SPIRITUAL SUB-LAYER OF THIS DIMENSION."
ZAXON: "IRRELEVANT... BREACH THE STEALTH PROTOCOLS AND MAKE FULL SPEED TOWARDS THE PLANETARY OUTPOST - DO NOT ENGAGE THE EVER LEGION AND BE MINDFUL OF THE LOCAL BOUNTY HUNTERS IN THE AREA."
Pilot-type model: "Affirmative, Coordinator!"
The Dropship suddenly spikes in its power levels, shields up, thrusters to maximum... but no power to the few weapons it has. Even then, the shield systems seem to have trouble keeping up with the energy output... without a reliable connection, the rift-nodes within the ship cannot sustain power to all automated systems for very long, and so functionality would be at reduced efficiency after a certain period of time. Regardless of these shortcomings, the Dropship is attempting to go as fast as a giant bullet towards the planetary hotel where Vivian was tortured and eventually began to expire.
