Planet Corhaven

The walls were pitch black and the rooms filled with an almost ominous grey fog. Biological it was, this ship. Shendal had taken her time with it over the years. She had collected the technologies necessary, the time necessary, and the planet necessary. The last planet was collectively a battleground between the AAR and the Creators, not a wonderful thing. If Shendal had not prepared for it certainly the work she did would have been destroyed.

She sat down in a chair going over multiple display screens at once. In the center of the room stood a massive fifteen foot tall structure that hummed and pulsed like a heart and has a series of large cables pouring in and out of it. The main components had been grown as necessary, but many of the interface function were still malfunctioning. Shendal sat up and stretched her back and yawned. ‘One more thing, and then I’ll get some sleep,’ she thought to herself, her mind even thinking wearily.

Shendal walked through the doorway separating the engine and main computer room with the back hallway. The hall appears like before, a form of metallic flesh not dissimilar to a relic craft, but onyx colored and far smoother. Climbs a set of circular stairs up into another hallway with multiple doors, through one she walks to see a large computer databank interfaced with multiple bio-tubes. Each semi-molded in with various portions of the ship.

Shendal walks up to one and palms a few buttons on the control pad and the tube’s protective coating begins to crawl away. Inside, the body of Jessica Pike is seen floating in the gel mass. An expression of calm grips her face, unlike normally seen. Warrior Ninja she was called, before the unit shorted out. It was an odd moment, and though the AAR believe collectively that Baphomets attack actually killed her, she knows Warrior Ninja survived, but her unit was damaged beyond repair.

“I’m sorry Jessica, but I don’t regret it,” Shendal says as she inserts a vial of liquid into a receptacle on the control panel. She presses a button and the liquid is drained away and inside the tank a small wire like object is extended and moves over, stabbing itself into the top of Jessica’s skull, the liquid begins pouring into her and it coils itself out and back.

“Soon, my friend. Soon.”

Sounds like a great final preview.

I can't wait to sit down for about 2 hours and read this latest masterpiece in entirety.

Makes me wonder if other character that were presumed dead have survived in some ways.

Another to add to the anticipation....wonder what jessica will become.

The W'Kar Repro 7, perhaps? If so, she'd really be able to give Baphomet and Anubis the ass kicking they deserve for shorting out her old unit and almost killing her. Provided she knew how to work the element to it's full potential right away.
