FIVE MONTHS AGO.
Shaw's face was relatively placid, or at least as placid as he would allow himself to appear. As he made his way up the Grate metal catwalk that lined the interior of the Massive dome like structure, the thick Crystal Of the half sphere acting to keep the frigid temperatures of Vastras surface from seeping in, and from keeping the highly maintained atmosphere from Seeping out.
He ignored the Blaring alarms and Flashing orange lights going off all around him.
He stopped as he reached the Catwalks middle and leaned over its Railing slightly, Looking down into the center of the Dome, at the Place where the tunnel The Researchers had dug angled downwards into the Ruins. Illuminated brightly by Crystal spotlights.
But it was the construct above the drill site that interested him. A ring of Shield Generators, Rumbling deeply with their bass hums, encircling a Towering Crystal of Dark blue stone, Suspended above the Floor by means that the Men and calvara who worked here couldn’t even begin to understand. Eight smaller versions of it encircling it in a Slowly Rotating ring, a Deep Liquid lavender glow pulsing faintly at its heart.
“Hey there Aberrahe… Time to get up, Ancient one!” he called, his voice carrying over the din of the domes alarm systems. Immediately the stones Glow Grew brighter, It’s Rhythmic pulses Intensifying as it seemed to respond to the dark Timecasters call. A beam of Lavender blue light suddenly shot out of its core in his direction, searching a bit before it settled on him, Illuminating him in the center of its glow.
“Yes… It’s me.” He said, almost Shamefully as he brought his shoulders up in a Shrug.
“Sorry about being late, any earlier and we would have The Tenebrean War fleet baring down on us… As it is, they’re focusing on more pressing issues at the moment.” He explained, pointing upwards with a clawed hand, emphasizing his point. The beam of light focused on him, then moved upwards. Aiming at the top of the dome, moving across the inside of its surface, as if intently searching for something.
“Oh don’t worry.” The Timecaster Called out. The Beam Quickly Returning it’s focus back towards him. Catching him again in the center of it’s light.
“You’ll have plenty to infect, in fact. There are a few combat groups coming into range in a few minutes. All military too.” He said, looking up as several Of the vessels began appearing in high orbit above them, Exchanging fire. The Lack of an atmosphere on the small moon allowing them to be seen clearly even from their position, The beam moved up from him again, Sweeping across the inner surface of the dome, looking from one vessel to another.
“Yes… They’re Tenebrean.” Shaw Explained. “But there’s also ships from two other empires as well… Who are they?” he paused, Tilting his head to the side, and Grinning in his usual Cherry manner. “You’ll find out once you infect them and Devour their Memory cores and AI. But we have to hurry up, there’s a planet carrier coming our way… and while it’ll make a fine body for you. It helps to have more then a few out there among the stars.” He said. Motioning upwards with a swooping motion of his hand, even as a wind began to blow past him towards the Crystal drawing dust and loose papers from around the room towards it., It’s glow intensifying as it Began It’s preparations to leave, and to spread itself across the Galaxy. The Lights in the dome Dimming as it Sucked the power From them and the other systems of the dome, a Halo of Lavender light Forming around its base.
“I’d leave a shard of yourself behind if I were you.” The timecaster called, his black Greatcoat Fluttering in the winds from the powerful Vortex forming in the center of the room. The Shield Generators Strained as the energy that they held back surged against them, before Breaking down in a brilliant display, Their Normal humming having given way to an almost pained grinding.
Below them, several members of the Vastra Research team Scrambled in a mad dash for the safety of the tunnels below.
“Let the flux look at it and “Try” to figure you out. Distract them for a bit until they discover that they can’t… In any of their timelines.” He went on, following his words with gentle gestures. As if he was blissfully unaware of the unfolding chaos around them. He paused for a moment, before looking up, following the direction of the beam through the Top of the dome.
Presently, he raised his staff to point towards it with a well trained motion. It’s tip already glowing a powerful Red.
“Here, let me get the Front door for you!...” he said as he aimed the staff at the center of the dome.
Below, one of the Parka Wearing members of The research team had stopped to look up at what was unfolding, and saw the timecaster standing on one of the middle Walkways along the inner surface of the dome, Saw him raise his staff towards the roof, and Preparing to fire.
“No wait! Wait!!” he shouted, waving his hands wildly, as the timecaster fired a single Temporal blade at the domes inner surface. The Arc cutting cleanly through the crystal glass, it’s energy spreading outwards across it.
There was a moment of silence before the Dome exploded outwards, the air Escaping from the confined space rapidly, Drawing papers, equipment, and even personnel out with it in the wake of its blast. The researcher found himself Drawn out with them, and flung out into the cold airless wastes. Even as the Crystal began to rise from where it hovered.
“Oops..” Shaw mused, as he watched the hapless Tenebrean Sucked out to his State of death, and beyond.
“Should have had a helmet on…” He said, as he turned towards the stone as it continued to rise, gaining speed and power as it hovered above the ruins of the dome., A sound like crackling electricity building around it. A single one of the smaller stones remaining behind, Angling itself down the tunnel that led below.
“Now go Aberrahe. Claim those ships as your new flesh and bone.” He Said. Raising his arms above his head, as the last of the air was drawn out of the ruins of the dome. “Let the Galaxies Tremble at you Rebirth.”

“Hmm… Be seeing you soon enough.” The Timecaster said as he looked up at the Now empty stars above the darkened dome. Not bothered by the airless conditions. “Now off to Zel…”
