This Machine Is...

Mivio rejecting the dirty fabric, which disgusted him and reminiscent him of a towel, which he wiped the mirror early, and without looking back at it, he walked away from the mirror and his reflection, which breaks through the accumulated dirt on the mirror pane.

Then, after taking care of his basic morning needs and discovering that there was no running water, the youth left this room and returned to the corridor further exploring, where it might take him.

At the same time, wondering why there was blood only in that living room, and there was no trace of it in the corridor.

Moving on, he didn't know that due to his ignorance and ignorance of the basic functioning of devices in this interstellar and modern world for him, he left behind what he sought so longingly.

Unfortunately, the youth didn't realize, that it was enough to open the control panel located in the wall and he would have received not only running water but also could take a shower and even take a bath.

Because despite the fact, that this place had been abandoned for a long time, the energy generated by the emergency system still remained in the machine.

It was something, that was triggered in extreme situations, allowing the people inside to survive and to keep the collected samples in perfect condition.

This destroyed and mostly swallowed by desert sands, machine, was a scientific battleship in the recent past.

A kind of armed spacecraft of military origin involved in collecting samples of various creatures and studying them.

The main activity of the crew that was on this battleship was researching dangerous parasitic creatures called the Zerg, who are currently the greatest threat to this interstellar world.

Most of the crew were military scientists, and only a small percentage of them were soldiers, who were responsible for navigation, security, and sometimes, they also were responsible for obtaining the necessary elements or samples for research.

The most recent research that scientists on this ship have been working on had to do with internal communication and the transfer of information between the Zerg.

This research also included those Zerg units that were known to be the simplest and most primitive, to see if they actually didn't have this dangerous function or they are just hiding it.

In addition, the local minor departments of scientists were looking for better and more effective ways to kill them faster by carefully analyzing their structures.

With this research was attached high hopes, and the scientists who dealt with them were so dedicated to the cause that instead of safely conducting this research on one of the planets, they decided to be as close as possible to what they were researching so that their conclusions were as accurate as possible, and the material they are researching was fresh.

There were a lot of risks involved, and while the greatest degree of caution was exercised, no one expected that it was when the ship will be guided back to the main base on the planet Serin that a sudden and unexpected crisis would occur.

Scientists full of enthusiasm and, as they claimed, close to a breakthrough in the conducted research, they decided to return to the main base, to gather specialists in several fields who would help them in completing this research, they set off on a seemingly peaceful return journey during which they unexpectedly disappeared.

The entire ship, along with the people and what was transported on it, seemed to disappear, evaporate in space as if it were water vapor.

It was an unusual and very disturbing event, which the whole universe was talking about, spinning various speculations and suspicions.

A military battleship with trained soldiers and a modern defense system suddenly disappeared along with all the research that was as everyone expected to could change this endless war, as well as the overall view at the figure of the Zerg and their capabilities and degree of threat.

Now, when the desert sands revealed a fragment of it, the previously jammed signal that made it possible to find it resounded in the limitless outer space, urging the military to locate it as soon as possible.

But this young ethereal man carefully traversing the corridors of this machine knew nothing about it.

For him, it was just a new, unexplored territory that was a testament to how the world around him was unknown to him and full of hidden dangers.
