43 Warhammer Prelude Not Edited (2/2)
”I mean you all can follow your own path. This is dangerous. It means you all are capable of betraying him. You can ignore the loyalty implentation of the System. Someone disabled it.” Galtea looked actually worried. ”This is a problem. It has been off since Feros!”
”What does it mean?” Mileuda asked realizing this could go bad.
”It means free will.” Agria said. ”If we wanted to kill Azul we could.”
”Has anybody wanted to?” Mileuda asked intigued.
”No. No traitors yet.” Galtea said. ”But the possibilities are endless. Clash of personality will cause it eventually. Why is it off?” She worked away at the keys.
”What is the benefit to it being off besides the normal?” Maldova asked.
”The closer you get to him in anyway, the stronger and more important you become. To him nothing really as he is now to weak to use that. He receives loyalty points for it.” Finding what she wanted, Galtea collapsed. ”The System did it.. it did itself.”
”For good reason.” A voice came from everywhere and nowhere. A man came out of the floor. It was the trickster. ”Good evening ladies and few gentlemen. I am the Trickster. The pleasure is all mine.”
”Are you toying with him?” Maldova asked. She read the reports about the man as well as Azul's personal view on a creature like him.

”No. I am also not testing him either. This was done to drag out the ones who have tampered with things. They have been arrested and are getting mentally siphoned currently.” The trickster said seriously. ”We are not foolish enough to think this is over. But with the influx of worlds opening up we had to. To many places in the last month. They enemy will have there hands full as well. This works in our favor. As well give a reason for a gift he will receive.”
”What gift?” Galtea asked finding her voice.
”I cant tell you just yet. But I have some troubling news. Azul knows he is dead.”
”What dead? That cant be!” Galtea accessed her terminal quickly to check. It showed he was still alive. The others stared in shock.”
”Not that Version of him. His real body is dead.” Trickster said smiling. ”He figured it out during Mortal Kombat. With his real body gone he knows this is his life now. It only took a few centuries for him to get use to it. The time in Zanarkand helped greatly actually.”
”Then he can never return.” Galtea said frowning. ”I failed him then.”
”No you did not. His body died of natural causes.” Trickster said no longer smiling. ”A few years after his first arrival here. Time kept moving onward unnaturally. The Users were suppose to be able to pick up their lives normally when leaving. However that what not the case in his sense. It could be caused by his high Synchor rate or something else entirely. No matter it is done. His life will come to him. The memories uploaded into him in Zanarkand by design. He just hasn't accessed them yet.”
”You are smiling.” Mileuda said to Agria. ”Why is that?”
”Because he mentioned something like that before to me once. It doesnt matter now. I just want to see him. Make sure he is really alive.” Agria smile became strained as she realized they still needed to get back in touch with Azul. ”We are wasting time.”
”Be at ease. He will not die there. Not yet as far as I saw.” Trickster said. ”A word of caution for all of you. What you believe is random is not the same for a User. His Psycho power is about to grow exponentially as well as his power as a Pather. Agria the next you two meet his Soul Power will have grown exponentially. I am proud of you for that.” With the drop of his hat, he was gone.
”Are you just going to sit there dazed or actually do something!” Maldova yelled at Galtea.
”I am just.. just give.. me a moment.” Galtea was searching using her own abilties. Then the connection came back and her body tingled as she felt the aftershocks. ”He is alive. But... the amount of killing he has done..” A single tear fell from her cheek. ”Warhammer is a disastrous place. No wonder no one laid claim to it.”
”Did you say no one?” Maldova asked.
”Yes. Not one user has ever done so. At most they have conquered a single galaxy before it was lost. Most operators only go there when a desperate need of growth and resources is needed.” Galtea scan through some files. ”It never ends well for anyone. I am happy he hasn't changed yet.”
”Should we be worried?” Maldova asked sitting down after she checked over some readings. ”What is this place total population?” Checking against she shuddered. Mass Effectwas a drop in a bucket compared to it. ”What have I gotten myself into...”
”The same thing the rest of us got into.” Ruma said finally speaking again. ”Yhis place sounds perfect from my clan. I need to get him to go and crush it. Take over it, take us there. They will gladly kill for a world of endless war.”
”Do you like war that much?” Maldova asked.
”About as much as Asari enjoy deceit.” Ruma bristled at her. ”When are you gonna tell him and the rest if the crew? Chari already spends time with him as it is. What will you do if they become lovers?”
”Be happy for her.” Maldova shrugged her shoulders. ”I am old enough to get over it.”
”But do you want to? That is the question I have next.” Ruma moved over to get in front of her. ”You painted a target on his back when you spoke to the council. Even if you didnt say anything beside what was agreed upon, it wont stop them from prying using other channels.”
”I know that. He knows that. That's why we make our move he gets back.” Maldova said stating back at her long time friend. She then looked to Galtea. ”He will be ready wont he?”
”If he survives that world then yes.. I believe he will. We will make our move against Shepard and take the others he hasn't gotten.” Galtea said grimacing at the screen. ”The more pillars we have on our side, the better.”
