Manifest Destiny: Wolves of the Galaxy

[hand ax ranger]

You are in a cave, with no recollection of how you got here. It is dark despite your enhancements. You feel a force pulling you down the tunnel…a force you cannot resist.

As you walk you hear a machine running at the end. It keeps turning on for two seconds then stopping. For an unknown reason, you are drawn to this sound.

As you get closer the sound grows louder. ....vum vum…vum vum…. As you walk you realise there are shadows close to you, following the same sound.

You reach the end of the tunnel, arriving at a cavern. The shadows dissipate next to you, as a light shines on a walkway before you leading to the center, where an odd blue orb shines out of a metal cage-like device. It pulses with the sound, which has increased in speed and volume.

You cannot help but cross the walkway. You're drawn to the orb like a moth to a flame. The sound is echoing in your head. You reach out to touch it.

Then the light, and the orb, flash out. The sound ceases. From the dark, only feet from your face, a gravely electronic voice speaks.

"The daughter of another race seeking gidhood through their machines......we knew others would fall to it's temptation...."

Then from the pit below glows hundreds of red glowing eyes. They hum with the sound from before, but now it echos from all over hundreds of times. From in front of you the sound loudly returns beneath a bigger set if red eyes, flickering with enery.

"Soon......we shall meet in the flesh..... In a manner of speaking.......

You feel steel wires touch your skin, coiling all over it. They start to dig into your flesh, around even your plating.

"...and soon..... You will learn the nature of gods....."

You try to scream, but nothing comes out.

You feel no pain. Only cold numbness.


*beep beep beep*

You jolt awake. Before you is Cora, your handy robot Secretary... Thing.

It play a recording if Robin Williams yelling "good morning". Then speaks:

"time to get to today's tasks...are you okay...I sense you are scared....."
