Outwards

For those who didn't check the Info chapter, I've started a Discord Server. It's still very much WIP, but I hope to bring some people together (I might even let some people make their own characters for the story): https://discord.gg/xsraebFx74

With Shmi now in bed, it's time to look outward with things starting here in the Lehon System. I summon Neoth to the bridge of The Prince where he appears kneeling. It's pointless for us to communicate just as much as talking to oneself is, but at least it will keep me from being bored. First, I think it's time for Cypher to have his own body. I wave my hand, and from the very metal of the bridge itself, Cypher forms. While he isn't technically alive, he's still an extension of my consciousness. Plus every Star Wars protagonist needs a droid, though I wouldn't count myself as one exactly.

Now with both Neoth and Cypher standing before me, it's time to set things in order. While I head to Mortis and deal with the three, Neoth will remain here to deal with anyone passing by. Cypher will be visiting a very particular planet in the outer rim called Rattatek to bring back a certain gladiator. Of course, Cypher will need his own ship to carry out future missions. So I decided on a currently non-existent ship, the Rogue Shadow, originally the ship for Starkiller. I'm hesitant however to think if he'll even exist in this timeline however.

With that out of the way, I jumped back to the observation deck of the Star Forge for a moment. Neoth was currently relaxing in The Prince's throne, and Cypher was heading off in the brand new Rogue Shadow. Normally it would take a good sized crew, but I made sure Cypher would have ease of control over pretty much any machine. I however would need a proper "true form" of sorts, that way I can make a good impression on the equivalent of gods in this universe. While this armor is pretty cool, it's certainly not "godlike", it honestly looks more like a super temple guard than anything. Hmm... I know.

While I certainly wouldn't choose this appearance with anyone else, it'll be best if the three understand I'm not mortal. With that, I jump to Mortis, making sure to completely conceal my presence. The instant I arrived, I felt the entirety of the **** like never before, the shock sent me to my knees. I suppose this place is the conduit for the **** of the universe... By the time I recovered from the shock, I started to sense the three different presences here, it was clear they were special. I of course already knew that, but they aren't as special as one would think. While they are an incredibly massive presence in the ****, it seems they weren't truly gods as most assumed, instead incredibly powerful beings from an entirely different race.

While they could use the **** more than nearly any other. They were still bound by it however, as are all who use the ****, despite what some may think. I was different though, I truly commanded the ****, though what that wholly entailed was still an exciting mystery to me. I could simply learn it all instantly, but I'd rather learn it the fun way. As I began walking through the beautiful landscape, I ignored the nearby presence that seemed to be stalking me. It seems despite concealing my presence, I was still detected, not entirely surprising. I quickly determined that this presence, The Daughter. As expected, the welcoming party has arrived.
