Sperate Ways

"Admiral Halto. I need you to open the Hanger door to allow us to leave. We will take control of the Warp Gate to send the Battleship York and her crew to the Juniper Sector. There you should be able to inform the Federation of the trouble ahead."

Admiral Halto eyes flickered hearing star sector he would be brought to. The Juniper Sector was the secret home base of the Revolutionaries. The faction he was a part of. To be able to know this secret location it proved that Tyler was truly a Seer and/or was he was sympathetic to his cause. Either way he was grateful to him to be sent there. 

"What about you and the Warp Gate" The Admiral asked. "Where will you be going and what will happen to the Warp Gate? Are you just going to leave it here?"

Tyler shook his head. "I can't tell you where I'm going as its closer to Zandari territory than Federation space. I'll have Ensign Adam create a secure communication once we are at our destination. Form there we can work out the smaller details. The Warp Gate however. I'm going to have it self destruct. We can't allow it to fall into the Zandaris hands and its impossible to move it from this location."

Admiral Halto felt a sense of loss to lose such a device and not be able to study it, but he understood the situation. If the Federation couldn't have such a machine than it was better to destroy it before it went into the hands of the enemy. He nodded in agreement and quickly done what Tyler had asked. The hanger bay door slowly opened for the Crusader to leave. 

Everyone watched with baited breath as the Crusader inched closer and closer to the Warp Gate. No one, but Tyler, knew what would happen next. They only had faith in Tyler to truly help them. 

As the Crusader inched closer and closer to the Warp Gate Ensign Adam was awestruck by the machine. He too was a mechanic and knew how advance this machine was. He began to get lost in his imagination of such a machine. Eager to see how it works and learn from it.

NOC Keda has slapped him in the back of the head to bring him to reality. He quickly realized that Tyler had been giving him orders yet he was too far in his mind to notice. he apologized and listened. 

"Ensign Adam, I want you to lock onto a certain frequency. The Warp Gate should be projecting a single question. Replay back 'Freedom from Chains'." 

Ensign Adam was confused by what Tyler had said till he turned the radio on. Once on the ship was filled with a indescribable noise. They could all tell it was some language, but the more they tried to focus and understand it the more their heads started to ache. It was hard for Ensign Adam to reply back to the voice while trying to tune it out. The voice echoed through his head as he replied back to the voice.

As soon as he did the voice stopped as a delightful ping rang out through the ship. Tyler smiled as his code worked. He wasn't sure as he used a code from another Progenitor Structure. Thankfully his gamble paid off. Yet even with the correct code the structure didn't move or activate. Tyler grabbed the radio and spoke into it.

"This is Tyler Riven, a human. I request access to the Warp Gate as an Admin under the Progenitor Operator."

After Tyler spoke his command the structure gave out a loud ringing sound. Everyone in the star system, including Zar'thra and his council, could hear this loud ringing sound. The Warp gate slowly began to activate. All 8 corners of the cube began to split apart reveling a spherical machine hidden within.

"This is it" Tyler said with a grin. He felt elated to finally have control. While everyone else watched in awe Tyler had something else distracting him.

[Ownership of the Progenitor Warp Gate as transferred to Tyler Rivin]

A screen appeared before his eyes.

[Mental Command initiated]

Information regarding the machine flooded his mind. He held his head as pain struck. It was like his head was going to burst from the information. Both NCO Keda and Ensign Adam rose out of their chairs to check on him. Tyler just extended a hand signaling that he was okay.

"Don't worry. The Warp Gate just transferred ownership to me. The information about controlling it was just shoved into my head." Even with pain he forced a smile to reassure the two. "Send a message to the Admiral. I'm going to open a gate and he must enter it."

Ensign Adam nodded and sent the message over. While he did that Tyler mentally commanded the gate to activate. The corner pieces of the Warp Gate began to spin in a circle rapidly. As the pieces spun crackles of red energy began to form in space. The pieces spun at an incredible till it became nothing but a blur. Space seemed to tare apart as a gate opened connecting two points of space. 

Everyone aboard the Battleship York was mesmerized by the rainbow colored gate opening in space. None had seen anything as beautiful as that. Although, everyone was shook out of their stupor as the ship moved heading into the gate. Admiral Halto commanded his ship to move even without informing the Command Deck. He wanted to get out of this trap as quickly as possible. He didn't want to lose a single soul on his ship. 

Before the Battleship York entered the gate Admiral Halto sent one last secret message to The Crusader. "Best of luck out there. Stay safe son." His voice echoed through the ship. Only Tyler seemed to be surprised by that last remark! He looked at Ensign Adam wide eyed! Even though he read countless lore filled stories of the game there was no information regarding Admiral Halto's son! 

Ensign Adam blushed. " Sorry. I try not to let people know who my father is as I don't want to get special treatment" he said with an awkward smile. NCO Keda didn't react at all. She already knew about the relationship between the two, given that she was Admiral Halto's right hand woman. 

The group watched as the Battleship York crossed the threshold of the gate. The gate rippled like water as the ship entered. They watched for another minute till the ship was completely gone. It had entered the gate and exited on the other side. Millions of lightyears away. On the other side of the gate it had opened in the Juniper Sector. A star system with 12 planets and a single sun. 

The outlaying orbital military stations picked up immense energy waves on their scanners. Switching to a live feed all 5 stations witnessed the other end of the gate opening. No one had any idea what was going on and prepared for battle. Alarms blared as people ran to their battle stations. Yet what happened next stunned everyone! They all watched as the Battleship York, which everyone thought was docked in the High Command Drydock, exit the gate. 

Immediately the Battleship York sent out codes and information it had learned. They also received a single distress message from Admiral Halto. "Prepare for War!" Shortly after this would create rippling waves through out the Federation. War with an unknow alien faction. Not only that, but an alien civilization that uses magic! Many cogs began to spin with all this new information. But this story will have to wait.

With the Battleship York gone all that was left was for Tyler and The Crusader to go to their destination. Another tare in space was made for the group to enter. This time it was much smaller as only 2 points were used in this creation as the rest flew back to the cube and floated around it. 

"Are you both ready" Tyler said with a sneaky smile. "It's going to be a wild ride!" The two felt a shiver down their spine as they buckled up. Tyler too sat down and buckled up in his seat. Anticipation filled them all as they crossed the threshold of the gate. Just before they did Tyler sent one last command to the Warp Gate. As they entered the gate they all felt a cold sensation cover their body. It was as though they entered a winters night after being in a hot-tub all night. Yet no matter how cold they were they felt now pain. That was till the pull.

They all felt like their bodies and souls were being pulled cross time and space. They closed their eyes as not to get sick. To Tyler it reminded him of a roller coaster. Even with his eyes closed he could feel the dropping of his stomach as he was pulled. He gritted his teach as he was just a normal person and not a Super yet. He felt bad about the people on the Battleship York and wished he was a player again. He never had to deal with this feeling when it was a game!

As soon as the Crusader had entered the gate and arrived at their destination. The Warp Gate began to open a third gate! This time as the gate ripped space apart the cube of the actual Warp Gate began to move towards it. It slowly enter the gate to its new destination. The points that created the gate began to rotate inward to pass through the gate as well. As soon as the Warp Gate and its points entered the gate a large explosion accrued!

The gas of the Gas Giant began to spread out away from where the Warp Gate was as its core. The Zandari ships saw the gas moving towards them as they tried to fly away. Some remained in place deciding to channel all mana to the shields and weather out the storm. Though it didn't matter. Hundreds of ships that were near the Gas Giant, or at least a 600 million mile radius, were destroyed in a matter of seconds. The gas continued to flow in every direction till it dissipated in space.

The intense winds of the gas had spread out through the entire star system! In the Orbital Space station where the 3 Zandari Nobles sat alarms began fill the entire station. Many Zandari servants started to panic as they checked to see what had happened. They knew if they didn't have an answer for their masters they would be killed! 

One Zandari servant had discovered the cause. His eyes nearly pooped out his head as he reread the information over and over again making sure what he read was correct. If he wasn't 100% sure of the information he would be killed simple for being wrong! He ran from his post to the main command room. Once inside all 3 nobles gazed at him with disdain. 

"I'm incredibly sorry to interrupt you my lords" he said as he prostrated himself on the ground. "We have found that the Battleship York is not only gone, but the energy readings we have checked. Its the same energy signatures as the Progenitors!" 

Just uttering the name shook everyone to the core. The only person who seemed calm, internally he was excited, was Zar'thra. He had a huge grin on his face. He wasn't happy about losing the whatever the Progenitor Device was, but he knew something even better. Someone on the Battleship York knew how to activate and use Progenitor tech. He had to get his hands on this person!
