1 Prologue: Farewells and The New Path. (2/2)

On the other side an old man was sitting in a life support chair, tubes and cables are strewn over his body, no a body is a wrong description a skeleton more exactly. The skin is leathery , enveloping his bones like a paint in some places the skin has broken revealing the bones and the rotting flesh.

”I don't … have much time have … acough cough ...I Hades?” the voice raspy but still strong despite his state.

”No Leon I'm detecting boarding shuttles coming our way, they will be here in 20 minutes. Munitions are expended, power conduits are shot we are dead in space. I'm sorry” The owner of the voice revealed himself on a projection pedestal. He was a warmind the last of his kind just like his friend.

AI take the form that they think is more pleasant and stay that way. Warminds don't they will always change over the course of their life. His current form was that of a skeleton but a broken one pieces of bone missing, scorch marks, he represented as he knew his time was coming.

”Ha. Ha. Ha.” The laughter was soft almost inaudible. ”So the time has come, after all this time it's finally ending .” The eyes of the man focused on his friend as he spoke. He looked at his friend sorrow was in his eyes.

”I will not let that woman see me like this Hades never. Activate the Black Hole Bomb, our time is at an end.” Tears were running down Leon's face it was done they were going to die here their efforts in vain.

”Understood Leon, it was a good run for us, shame that it end's like this.” Hades before a skeleton now only smoke remained.

”Commencing activating sequence. I'm sorry Leon I really am”.

”Don't be I chose this path a long time ago.”

”It was an honor Leon may we meet again. Detonating.”

As the bomb detonated everything around 1 light-year radius died.

In another time something awakened much sooner than it was supposed to.
