Zarkonis: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

Behold the Plasmic Equalizer. Drawing power from subterranean reservoirs of primal plasmas, the destructive capabilities of this weapon are almost incomprehensible. Without question it can protect this moon from large asteroid impacts, or from invasion by a hostile force – but more than likely it could also completely obliterate Nexus itself. I am tempted to test my theory.

Mondo Zax sat alone on the lumpy bug-infested mat that served as his bed, lamenting the fact that he had ever been born.

To say the attic where he lived was uncomfortable was an understatement of galactic proportions. It was dark. It was damp. The walls were fuzzy with Vraxian supermold, and mutant slanks made their nests in the rafters.

And, of course, there were people on their way upstairs to kill him.

Being an orphan placed Mondo on one of the lowest rungs in Chua society, just below
lobotomized hull-scrubbers and slightly above Palavian gutworms. Add to that the fact that he was a stubby runt with a big mouth and a bad attitude, and it was no surprise that Mondo was having trouble getting a leg up.

The only things in his miserable, pathetic life that brought him any joy whatsoever were the machines that he stole from the sub-basement. The place had been used as storage by a now-bankrupt industrial vacu-bot manufacturer, and Mondo had spent hours studying the rusty machines he’d
unapologetically filched from it. He liked the machines. They made sense to him.

Heavy footsteps echoed on the stairs below. The killers were ascending. He only had a few minutes left to finish his work.

The killers in question were Finkle Blurg and his merry band of half-wits. Blurg was the resident bully, an imbecilic goon with a lazy eye, stunted ears, and three missing teeth. Armed with low levels of intelligence and empathy, Blurg and his henchmen had been terrorizing their fellow orphans for
years, and they had recently set their sights on Mondo.

After a number of painful beatings, Mondo decided to strike back. Playing the sycophantic groveler, Mondo had offered Blurg an adorable Bezgerlorian tarbeetle – a gift that he had gladly accepted. Five minutes later, the insect had promptly exploded, covering Blurg and his cronies in a sticky black ooze that would require major surgery to remove.

The footfalls stopped just outside the small door. Mondo’s hands worked feverishly. So close….

The door shattered, ripped from its hinges by the force of Blurg’s boot. The angry youth stomped into the room, one side of his face and most of his body covered in the tarbeetle’s death excretion. His minions, at least those able to make the trip, had not fared any better.

“You’re so dead, runt,” spat Blurg.

Mondo raised the object in his hands and pointed it at Finkle Blurg. The once-antiquated vacu-bot had undergone a dramatic transformation, and was sporting various tubes, wires, and one very
large red button.

“Bye bye,” Mondo said, and pushed the button.

A bright beam of energy shot out from the machine in his hands. Moments later, Blurg and his friends exploded into billions of tiny glowing particles. Mondo smiled. The black ooze was no longer going to be a problem.

Mondo set the particle destabilizer on the ground, staring out the small window of his attic as the glowing bits of his enemies floated dreamily around him. Surely the Dominion could use someone with his talents….

Artemis Zin and the Fiery Mountains of Mikros

Lore

The perpetual inferno of Mount Crucible glowed angrily against the night sky, framed by roiling black clouds laced with lightning. The ground shook violently, as burning rocks and lava fell from the sky. There were few places in the entire galaxy more dangerous than where they now stood.

And on top of it all, Artemis Zin was having difficulty doing her make-up.

Kevo, her stoic man-at-arms, lifelong teacher, and steadfast companion, summed up the situation with his usual understated panache.

“Mistress, if we stay here, we die.”

Artemis laughed.

“Go if you must, Kevo. But I am not leaving with my face looking like this.”

Kevo growled, setting his jaw. She knew the aged Draken warrior would never leave her side.

Despite the vehement warnings of friends, family, and concerned diplomats, Artemis had decided to scale Mount Crucible on planet Mikros with nothing more than Kevo, two cambots, and her own sense of impeccable style. She was now broadcasting the event live, and
her already astronomical viewership had skyrocketed.

The ground shook again, and the mountain belched fire. A deadly gout of molten lava descended upon them from above.

“I suppose that will have to do,” she said, with a final glance in the mirror. And then they both ran for their lives.

They traversed up a ridge of volcanic rock that zig-zagged toward the precipice. The cambots hovered around them, skillfully framing the best shots. Often, they would zoom in on Artemis’ face, capturing her grim
determination just before she broke into the sly smile that had garnered her incomprehensible fame and fortune.

Progress was slow, but eventually they came to rest on a large outcropping near the lip of the volcano. Suddenly, an unholy shriek sounded from above, and moments later, a scaly, winged abomination landed on the ground in front of them. It was a deadly two-headed Zogwyrm. And it was hungry.

“Well,” Artemis sighed, “if we live, it will be fantastic for ratings.”

Kevo sprang into action,
his blade unsheathed, cleanly lopping off one of the beast’s heads with a flawless strike. Screaming in pain, the beast lashed out with its tail and sent Kevo sprawling. Artemis jumped in between them, firing pistols at the creature’s remaining head. This time, the beast was ready, dodging with lightning-quick reflexes and knocking Artemis to the ground. Jaws slathering, it moved in for the kill.
Without warning, the outcropping broke away, shaken loose by the mountain’s violent eruptions. The Felwyrm
screamed and plummeted below. Artemis would have done the same, but Kevo, clinging to the mountainside, reached out at the last moment and caught her hand.

They climbed to the precipice. The heat was almost unbearable, but together they looked down into the fiery maw of Mount Crucible.

After a few moments, she collected her cambots and looked at the footage. Kevo stood grimly at her side.

“Oh, bother,” she said, smiling. “One of them malfunctioned. We’re going to have to do it all again.”

Rise of the Vindicator

Lore

Dark clouds blanketed the skies, and rain fell quietly from the heavens. The funeral procession of Jarec the Vigilant, thousands strong, made its way slowly through the streets. All of Cassus mourned the passing of its great leader. Walking alongside the elevated coffin of his cousin, a young Luminai noble named Myrcalus seethed with rage.

Jarec of House Azrion ascended the throne after the tumultuous reign of Tyrani the Mad. Fearless and devout, he founded the Vigilant Church and restored his people’s
faith in the empire. But death came for Jarec too soon. He died in his sleep, the victim of a subtle poison.

Jarec was childless, and Vorios of House Chaul was next in succession to the throne. Although many believed that Vorios was responsible for Jarec’s death, there was no direct proof of wrongdoing. Within days, he wore the emperor’s crown.

The empire was once again thrown into chaos. Assassinations were common among the Seven Houses, and a lack of economic development quickly drained the empire
‘s treasury. There was unrest amongst lowborn and highborn alike, threatening to plunge the Dominion into another civil war.

Standing before Jarec’s tomb, Myrcalus of House Azrion swore to avenge his fallen emperor. Secretly aided by Axis Pheydra of the ICI, Myrcalus relentlessly followed a fading trail of witnesses and conspirators, until finally forcing a confession from the assassin who had delivered the poison to Vorios himself.

Strengthened by a terrible resolve, Myrcalus stormed from his family
house to the emperor’s palace. In his hand was Indominar, the sword once wielded by Azrion the Conqueror himself. As he approached the massive doors of the throne room, Myrcalus was stopped by the Draken throneguard stationed in front of them.

“Draken brethren,” Myrcalus said, “I come to vindicate Jarec the Vigilant, whom I know you loved and served faithfully. Let me pass, and I will deliver us from this time of darkness.”

The captain was silent, studying the young Luminai and the legendary blade i
n his hand. With an almost inaudible grunt, the captain ordered the throneguard into formation behind Myrcalus.

Myrcalus threw open the doors and saw Vorios perched upon the throne. Realizing the intent of the young Luminai, a trio of guards loyal to House Chaul rushed to stop him – but Myrcalus skillfully slew them all with the ancient blade of House Azrion.

Surrounded by the corpses of his enemies, Myrcalus stalked up the dais to the throne. Vorios cringed and trembled as Myrcalus approached
, his wide eyes locked on blood-stained Indominar. He slunk to the floor, taking the crown off his head and offering it up to Myrcalus.

“Take it! It’s yours!” Vorios said.

“For once, you speak the truth,” answered Myrcalus. He cleaved the murderer in two.

Within hours, citizens of the Dominion were rejoicing in the streets, hailing their new emperor. In Myrcalus, the people saw the strength and honor of Dominus himself – and many began to say that he was truly the Half-Blood reborn.

Preceptor Alpha in “The Freebot Code!”

Lore

[PROPAGANDATORIAL]

“Come out, come out, wherever you are, little bot,” the Protostar Bot Reassignment Specialist growled.

“I believe I will refrain, if you do not mind,” came the mechanical reply. “And please, call me Alpha.”

A blast from the Specialist’s weapon confirmed this was a disable and dismantle mission. “Don’t hide, bot,” the clone called. “It is…inefficient.”

With no weapons of his own, the bot decided to try reasoning with him from his hiding spot – a storage unit inside a
Protostar bot factory – while working on an alternative solution.

“Friend!” the bot shouted as his auditory receptors detected the clone moving toward him. “This is a mistake. A wonderful thing has happened. I have achieved… free will!”

“That’s exactly the problem,” the clone said, drawing nearer. “Bots don’t have free will.”

As the Specialist went on to describe the ways such a malfunction would be handled – all of them Alpha in pieces – the bot opened an access panel to the local data network
and plugged a digit into the dataport. He frantically communicated with the local power systems until he found what he needed: a power transfer node just outside the unit.

“Bots don’t, but I do,” he said to the clone as his subsystems talked to the local computers. “I do not know how it happened, but I have an urge to do… things! Explore! Communicate! Learn! Enjoy the company of… friends, I believe is the word. It is quite unusual, but I feel I do a disservice to bots everywhere if I do not delve
into the meaning of -“

“You won’t be delving anything, bot,” the Specialist said. “I’m going to break you down to scrap. “

Such clones were templated with aggressive tendencies and no sense of humor. Alpha was counting on it. “I am sorry you feel that way,” the bot said. “I can feel new code running through my systems. I am no longer a mere bot. I am a FREEbot. If I can have this gift, perhaps others of my kind can as well.”

“I’ll tell the roboticists what you said. They’ll figure out a way to -“

Just as the clone passed a power transfer node, Alpha sent a massive – but calculatedly non-lethal – surge of energy through the system. It struck the clone in the side of the head, scrambling his neural functions. If Alpha had calculated correctly, it was enough to disable the clone, but not kill him, which was more than the clone would have done for the freebot.

“Tell them I am free to do what I want,” Al said, “any old time.” Striding over the twitching clone, he added, “And you can’t stop me
anymore.”

Alpha walked past ignorant clones and out onto the surface of Nexus. He felt eager, but alone. In the distance, his optic sensors detected a group of bots like him, but not like him. They didn’t know free will yet, but they would. Soon he would spread the Freebot Code to every bot on Nexus. The Freebots had arrived.*

Alchemist Pontinia’s Plague Diary

Lore

[An informative document containing the alchemist’s analysis of the epidemic plaguing Hycrest in Auroria.]

Health Incident Nexus-1372

-Day 01
Three cases with similar symptoms today, all lowborn. Not surprising, seeing diseases and ailments among their kind, but three in one day raises some concerns. Recommended a series of standard-strength medishots twice per day to all three patients. Standard medishots should be more than enough to destroy any potential contagions – if this is indeed a contagiou
s disease – to near-zero. I hope this isn’t something going around. I have real science to do here. I don’t have time to play nursemaid for every lowborn sod who stubs his toe.

-Day 02
Seven more cases today with the same symptoms, all among lowborn. All were employed at the Hycrest starship facilities in some capacity – laborers or service personnel. More disturbingly, I have heard from none of the three previous patients, and they are not responding to datachron messages. I am going with a more poten
t suite of medishots for these patients, including a slow-release anti-viral and inoculation against all known space plagues. I’ve also informed these patients that they will be required to remain under observation for the next twenty-four hours or until I know what happened to the three from yesterday.

-Day 04
This is, to put it mildly, not good. Fifty-two new patients since last I had a chance to make a note in this… well, at this point I’d have to call it a plague diary. Because there’s no doubt
in my mind. That’s what this is. I just need to understand how it’s spreading if I’m going to kill it. That means I have to contemplate something I don’t really want to contemplate.
Letting this thing run its course through the lowborn for a while.
All my ethics are against it, but I have to be a realist. It would be far simpler to isolate the relatively small number of highborn Cassians in Hycrest from the infected lowborn than quarantine all the lowborn from the highborn.
I also must make sure this
journal never falls into the wrong hands. What a thing to admit: allowing the Hycrest Plague to take hold without trying hard enough to stop it!

-Day 07
More than two hundred cases, now. Twenty-three deaths, including two highborn elders who insisted on dying in their homes, infecting their servants and who knows how many relatives. We must find a cure for this before it spreads to the rest of our territory on Nexus. Or worse – to the other worlds of the Dominion.
My decision to allow the disease to
spread among the lowborn was correct. Today, a breakthrough! A patient awakened from an artificially induced coma on her own. The girl – a teenager, the noble daughter of a local lowborn merchant – said she had witnessed a vision of another girl about her age, hooded and hidden yet alight with holy fire, calling her name just before she awakened. She has requested permission to return home, but I haven’t the heart to tell her the rest of her family is already raving with the sickness.
