Captain Anthony
USSR dark journey
The 12th research flotilla

"What's the status on research teams?"

The A.I Brentley popped out of her console,

"The scientists are ready to activate the artifact."

I responded,

"Have they determined whether it is forerunner?"

"We'll sir we can't really tell except for the fact that its releasing a small amount of dark energy."

"Interesting, tell the team we're ago."

I looked out the observation deck windows and saw the machine. The machine looked like the letter C with two arms extended. In the middle were two rings that began to rotate around each other. They went faster and faster until,

"Captain dark matter readings are off the charts!"

I saw a branch of what looked like electricity reach out to several of the republic ships and throw them like a massive slingshot! It reached out to our ship and there was a flash as the ship shook and suddenly all was calm again.

"Brentley! Where are we!?"

"Well... We're certainly not in Kansas!"

"Brentley!"

"Well... We're somewhere outside of the Orion's Belt. There's a twin artifact to the one we came in on. It's on the other side of the system. Oh and to make our day even better, there's a large number of unidentified ships headed our way!"

"Are they loyalists?"

"Well I'm sure they're loyal to something Captain!"

"Tell all ships to put up their shields, arm the Mac cannons, and prepare for first contact! Don't fire unless I give the order! Lets hope they're friendly!"

The radar engineer shouted out,

"Sir we're outnumbered 6:1! I'm reading 200 corvettes, 80 frigates, 30 destroyers, and 5 super heavy cruisers!"

Brentley spoke up again,

"Enemy fire incoming!"
