PROLOGUE

The ass-end of nowhere.

The wrap-around, silver band circled the bridge, part of the bulkhead. Top-and-bottom, it was defined by seams of blue light. The band threw the captain's image back at him as he sat at the central command station. He wore his black hair long but didn't allow it to fall into eyes of silver that almost made him appear blind. Like all those on the bridge, his face looked too young for the uniform he wore.

He touched a green jewel chip on the arm of his chair. The silver crown crystalized to become transparent. Now, a ring of open space seemed to circle the bridge, chopping off the ceiling.

Leaving the ship, were metallic tears, life-pods falling into unknown space. The captain watched their retreat.

"Poor kids. I suppose this is the best we can offer them."

"Sir?" A woman approached him. She had the same silver eyes, but her hair was dark garnet. She, too, wore high rank on the ship's uniform. "You act like there's a place for them in our society. The Rejects ought to be grateful not to have been disposed of at birth. They were mercifully allowed a childhood. And now our compassion is giving them a chance at life—somewhere else. You can't say we haven't acted with honor."

Sending them into uncharted space, hoping they find what will likely be a primitive world; is that a true blessing?

The captain had lived for hundreds of years and seen many Rejects sent off this way, none of them to ever return. If not for his race's devotion to genetic perfection, their civilization could not have reached such glorious advancement or sustained such stability over the ages.

Sacrifices are required. Evolved beings do not get angry over such necessities.

Tamping down his anger, the captain turned his chair to face the executive officer. "XO, were all the pods up to service requirements?"

"Yes sir, and—as ordered—number five pod was left uninspected."

Yes, we can't have records showing a child received an advantage that others weren't given. That would be unfair.

"We'll not bother to add that fact to the official records," he said.

"No, sir." She agreed without arguing. Arguing might have hurt her career. The request for special handling had come from much higher up, from the parents of the boy in pod number five. The XO spoke softly. "So, that was him, the one immune to gel-tech modification?"

"Yes, the first such mutation we've seen, but that was only one of the reasons for his Rejection. His psych profile is alarming: wild, unconventional, a mind dismissive of rules, dominating the upper reaches of intelligence with no cap in sight."

She nodded sagely. "A clear danger to us all."

Intergalactic conquest with an AI

Rex was just another slave in the corporate machine, a faceless office worker under the shadow of one of the galaxy's powerful megacorps. His life was predictable and dull, an endless cycle of meaningless reports and fluorescent-lit monotony. That was, until that day.... When a new world was discovered on the outskirts of the galaxy, Rex, like countless other low-ranking employees, found himself dragged into a contract clause he’d barely skimmed years ago. The megacorp ordered him and his coworkers to pack their lives into a transport pod and leave for the unexplored planet. Their mission? Establish a colony. Mine resources. Make the company richer. There was no choice, refusing meant ruin. At first, everything seemed manageable. The days were grueling, the nights cold, but progress was steady. The colony was coming to life. Until the excavation team struck something. No one knew what it was at first, a buried hive, a forgotten ecosystem, or something ancient and dangerous. Whatever it was, it unleashed hell. Swarms of enormous, chittering creatures erupted from the ground, their jagged bodies blotting out the sky. The colony fell into chaos. Screams echoed through the air as the bugs tore through everything in their path, walls, machines, and people. Rex barely survived. Bloodied, broken, and pinned beneath the rubble, he should have died there. But in the pitch-black silence of his fading consciousness, a voice spoke to him. Cold. Mechanical. Otherworldly. "Do you wish to live?" When Rex woke, he was no longer the man he’d been. His body was no longer human flesh and bone but something far more alien. His skin shimmered with living metal, his mind infused with the power of Cleo, a mysterious AI from a long-extinct, robotic race known as the Kaelzars. Cleo’s presence pulsed through his thoughts, guiding him and transforming him. He wasn’t just alive. He was reborn. But survival came at a price. Rex was no longer a pawn of the megacorp; he was something more dangerous, something they couldn’t control. As Cleo’s intentions began to reveal themselves, Rex found himself standing on the precipice of war, not just with the bugs but with forces far greater than he could have imagined. This was the beginning of a journey through blood-soaked battlefields and treacherous alliances. Along the way, Rex would encounter allies, brilliant, flawed, and unpredictable, and enemies whose ambitions were as sharp as their blades. These weren’t disposable foes, easily crushed by an overpowered hero. They were cunning, relentless, and human in the most terrifying ways. But then again, in war, who can truly be called a villain?
