Old Cult-territory (3) [End]

Gladiaxa

Drakador_Chaos All right, we have another exit passage, prepare defenses in the outside zone, we will have to slow down.

Zachary ((At this point, I'm handing you off to @Drakador_Chaos because it is his event, you were just interacting with a part of the "defensive mechanism," if that makes sense. I might return to you at a later point, though.))

CHAOS ENTITIES, OUR INNATE TECH PROGRAMMING IS TELLING US TO ENGAGE AT OUR DISCRETION.
Watch them. They posses Cult-Tech. If they mean to try and destroy this territory for their own twisted ideal, then we engage.
The Hybrid fleet continues the task of picking through their destroyed prey, repairing the damaged larger one and making more smaller hybrid ships.

...the inhabitants and other intruders did not seem to care too much about their presence...yet...
Though from behind them something seemed to approach the territory with just below lightspeed, while the ship with the same paint as the ones taken apart in the distance head off around the fleet infront of it towards the asteroid field...

Zachary

@RandomCommander Do I have to remind you every time?

Drakador_Chaos

Zachary ( RandomCommander )
...as the ship headed towards the asteroid field in a wide arc around the fleet infront of it, another fleet of unknown ships appeared at the borders, apparently setting up some sort of defenses...
In the meanwhile the crew/pilots of the ship felt watched, most likely by the red-skinned ships in the distance, though they did not seem to care about them too much as of currently...
...eventually they reached the asteroid field, towering like a wall before them, the material within heavily affecting their sensors, but they space between the asteroids seemed to be big enough for them to pass through easily as long as they watched where they moved...

Zachary

@RandomCommander ?

Zachary

@RandomCommander Are you there?

RandomCommander Here Zakardia, what are you wanting from us?

...when he touched it, reality seemed to bulge outwards for a brief moment, as if seen through a gravity lens, to reveal a simple looking red crystal it seemed to unpolished and a dim red light was emanating from it, yet it still felt like the stone wasn´t even there...
...then, with a loud cracking a shattering the illusion broke, the jumped to various points in time once more until fragments either lighted up in random colors or went black until the whole spook suddenly ended...
...he was back again, in his proximity just vast empty space, the surpressing feeling of the Elder-Calamity blast, the dim red glow of Cult-territory...though, did he ever left it?
The only sign telling of what he just saw was this odd red crystal still in his hands, it felt somewhat...important?
...yet there was likely nothing mroe to be done here than moving on, or back...

Drakador_Chaos A strange gravitational signature could be found rushing towards the sector at 99.999998% the speed of light

zergRush99

Drakador_Chaos the Hivemind looked at it and said: "I will keep that" the Stone merged in to thr Hiveminds body and he keeped moving towords the center of the cult... "You are weak" said the other voice... "I know, soon I will be what I was, and even better.." said the hivemind in respones "Because of ME" said the voice while a creepy smile appeared on the Hiveminds face.

Rougechicken

Drakador_Chaos a few parsecs away from the sign a strange shadowy spire would suddenly appear it being the source of the gravity

Gladiaxa

Drakador_Chaos Stay out of the danger zone and install the canons. We must not awaken the worship. Here, Zakardia at the Fango group, we are in position, we are waiting for you to find the rabbit.
And you stay on guard and patrol, they watch us necessarily.

...ahead of the spire in the distance there was apparently a small fleet of unknown ships, setting up some sort of defense, while further ahead, what looked like a ebormous wall with tiny red and blue speckles on it in the small area infront of it could be seen though it was too far away to tell for sure what it was, it spanned across the entire sight...

Drakador_Chaos The spire would continue to head towards the ships until it became Obivious that it had Heavy weaponry
(do you want a list of its weaponry?)

Rougechicken (It might be beneficial, however, as of currently I will wait for Gladiaxas reaction.)

The message was crisp, yet clear.
...No trouble. You mind the signs, especially of the newer one. What purpose are your installations?

Drakador_Chaos

zergRush99
...the Hivemind left the place of the rather odd event and headed onwards, he should reach the core t...
...a feeling of utmost danger washed over him and he immedietly halted, just in time apparently.
Ahead of him was in fact the core territory...though his target could not be further away...
Massive streams of volatile Bloodmagic and psionics soared through the territory infront of, him tearing apart everything that was in their way, this was ground zero, where the Elder-Calamity died...
...large red chaotically swirling clouds moved through the territory at ridiculous speeds apprently changing direction at will, unpredictable and psionic waves pulsing through the area severly damaging or malforming anything in their path...
...somewhere deep within this storm, was the throneworld, though heading through this storm was not an option there would have to be another way...

Gladiaxa

RandomCommander strategy of escape, we will pass by, we will enter this territory where the FTL is impossible, and we will delay them with the guns before fleeing, too far for them to follow us

RandomCommander

Gladiaxa
...So you are prey, fleeing hunters by going into a nest full of another pack of hunters? Interesting strategy. Good luck to--

The message is interrupted as a brief Rift-Signature appears outside of Cult territory, which puts the defense force on full alert, but also sets the Hybrid fleet on more of an alert state - they seem to know this intruder and mechanical hissing and snarling could be heard at the other end.

Apparently, they seem more inclined to head towards the new signature rather than finish what they were going to say.

Gladiaxa

RandomCommander Let's do as usual
