Pegasus Galaxy, Teplo System, High Orbit of Vitazstvo: The long dead world below is witness to the coming of a God, as a multi colored tunnel opens and disgorges the iconic “Attila” class Ha’tak “Heresy”. The black hulled ship slowly spins along its axis as it sits near the world, her black hull shimmers as the systems sun shines on the darker then night assault vessel. On the Pel’tak Lord Pride sits upon the red wood throne with a plush overlay. He rises from the throne and walking to the command console looks over a Jaffa shoulder as he says,” Energize the Reflex armor, raises shields, but do not charge weapons, we want to be prepared, but appear aggressive.” Lord Pride walks to the fornt of the Pel’tak and placing his hands behind his back looks at the main screen and the view of the planet below as he says,” It is a good day….a good day to succeed. a good day to die, either or.” He shrugs as he smirks and waits for the Primary’s arrival |

-space above the planet rippled, spiraled inward and then ripped open with a riot of violet color as the hyperspace window opened, and the arms of the abyss itself seemed to emerge in a slow rush. Four massive forward reaching pylons covered in a writhing black organic skin, their inner edges lined with what looked like blue energy. The bulk of the "Leviathan" prototype Shadow Hive emerged from hyperspace and slowly settled into a polar orbit on the vacant planet- -sensor readings were difficult to pinpoint, the Shadow skin even latent messing up the casual scans, but the tactical officer glanced up and shook his head as if silently saying 'I don't know how many aboard'. After a short minute, there was a small dot of movement as a spiked Shadow borne scout ship came away from the monstrous ship, and proceeded down to the planet without a open com or even a one sided hail - |

Pegasus Galaxy, Teplo System, Vitazstvo: The wind blows fiercely through the long ruined city that the “Harpy” class DeathGlider approaches. It zooms with a blood chilled screech over the center of the ruins to see the Wraith ship sitting idle. The black hulled DeathGlider swoops and begins to slow as its wings fold in and it hovers and then lands between to ruined temples. The cockpit slides back as the engines power down and smoothly, effortlessly Lord Pride floats up from his pilot’s seat and floats into the air above the craft as he gently floats down and lets his perfectly polished white boots touch the ground. Pride’s white cloak flutters on the wind as he senses an impending storm on the horizon. He walks through the ruins without an ounce of hesitation, comfortable in his great and terrible power. He enters the ruined center of the town and stops as he looks about. He slowly approaches the Wraith ship and folding his arms over his chest floats up into the air a few feet to add to his powerful stance as his demonic voice booms out, “PRIDE COMETH!!!!”……. |

-the mass of the Shadow borne scout ship shuddered, and the back end opened like an inverted whirlpool, skin and hull retracting separately. In the dark recess, was impenetrable back, like the void of space without stars. Out of the black came a slow creeping mist that was disrupted as the skin shifted and formed a short ramp to the ground. An outline filled the entrance, and then the Primary was slowly gliding down the rampway, the train of her black elegant gown sounding like a snake slithering out of the tall grass towards its unsuspecting prey- -she held her hands out to her sides, palm up and black nailed fingers faintly curled, as if she held spheres in either palm, her head up and chin raised as her hair billowed behind her and around the ornate shoulder pauldrons. She came to a slow stop a few yards away, her feet crossed at the ankles and pointed down behind the flowing ripples of her skirts- -her lavender skin glowed faintly in the setting sun's light as she folded her arms under her chest, and tilted her head to one side- "What shall we talk about first?"-her voice said, but her lips didn't follow the motions, only curving at the edges- |

Pegasus Galaxy, Teplo System, Vitazstvo: Lord Pride’s eyes flash a furious golden as he snarls and the Shadow ship is picked up as if by a giant and hurled across the ruins of the city colliding with earth shaking thud. He floats higher and with pure malice in his voice points at the Queen as he says, “Keep out of my mind girl, my sister was an empath of legendary power, your tricks will find no purchase here. You play games with the Gods, games your kind cannot win; my father slaughtered your kind for the pure pleasure of doing so and sewed the path for the domination of this galaxy!” He scowls as he folds his arms over his chest and with distain say, “You dare to come before me…as if we were equals. I am Pride Alpha son of the Titan, this galaxy is now a Titan galaxy, and you only live by the very patience and benevolence of myself. There is a price to be paid for your actions and you will now pay them, or…….” Pride looks thoughtful as he looks her exquisite form over and says, “You could fulfill our bargain, only then may I spare you and the last of your kind…” |

-The Primary was well versed in the minds and thoughts of men, both familiar and alien. This man's mind was no different than any other, regardless of the development of sections of the human brain, and the parasite in the neo cortex not withstanding. This mind she was already well versed with as well, having had her telepathic fingers through every lobe and whorl there was. She knew how he thought, how he viewed things- "Empathy is to mirror what one finds in another… what my mind and body are capable of, you have no true understanding." -as she spoke this she was reaching forward with that unseen telepathic touch, light as the down of a fallen dove, breezing through the active thoughts. She knew Lady Lust's visage, for as he said her his mind automatically conjured her. As Pride looked over the Primary's body, thoughts of what he'd done to others were also available, as well as their visages.- -as she said the words 'my mind', she transposed what his mind saw of her, with that of Lady Lust, as if the sister in memory suddenly took the place of the Primary before him with a swirl of mist and smoke. As she said 'my body', that sister took a step toward him, and from behind her came more women, as if just thinking them brought them into flesh and blood before him, fanning out in a loose erotic circle in front of him in various exposures and postures- -As his mind struggled to match what his eyes were seeing with what his mind was being shown, her new telekinetic powers went to work, touching and caressing where the illusory hands of the women began to explore him. Clothing didn't matter, it was as if their touch passed through cloth, armor, and her mental touch brought forth the sensations that would match the touches from his own memories of them. Where the image of a hand ran down his arm, the memory of that exact hand, and that exact touch, played itself out in sensory replay- -over the low cooing and feminine sounds surrounding him, the Primary's voice spoke with it's multi toned purr of it's own- "This is only the beginning.… Can you fathom what is possible? Can you truly stand there and tell me … that you are my equal?" -in a flash, all pleasure inverted, as the illusory women became foes of his past, enemies he'd have no trouble vanquishing, but with them came mnemonic sensory input of fists, and claws, and blast burns, and the paralytic stun of the zat and the wraith staff, and the burning of flesh while still alive, the consumption of innards by disease. All these things came on at once, fed into his mind from storehouses of her own.- "Look upon me, Lord of Sins, and tell me how you are better than I?! A Matriarch! A Primary! Ruler of an entire race! While you squabble here for table scraps left by a negligent and absenteee father as if it belonged to you!" -her voice, echoing with repressed rage finally unleashed, ripped not only through his ears, but his mind, as eddies of wind began swirling about her in response to anger feeding into mental power- |

Pegasus Galaxy, Teplo System, Vitazstvo: As the Primary’s rage grew and the winds of fury whipped about her Lord Pride looks puzzled as he floats backward in awe at her powers. He looks defiant as he says, “Where do you come by these powers? Your kind is not capable of such Godly manifestations!!!” A look of understanding dawns on Pride as he says, “Some kind of osmosis then? You stole that from me?! You dare!?!?!” Pride takes only a moment to compose himself and restore his sinister machinations as he softens his voice and does several mental exercises to block off parts of his mind from invasive intrusion as he says, “Wait, perhaps my anger was misplaced. I may have been rash my good Queen, while we have differences perhaps they are not irresolvable. We both seek the same thing do we not? Greater glory for our kind?” Lord Pride drifts slightly closer as he holds his hands up and with a charming smile says, “Lets us start anew and redefine this relationship?” |

-her chin lifted faintly, her expression unchanged for the moment, the manifestation of her barely checked rage sending eddies of wind and dust away from her like the epicenter of an explosion in slow motion. Her hands curled and uncurled at her sides as her eyes narrowed, and she spoke aloud - "Firstly, glory is a word for those who have ambition beyond their ken. I -know- what it is to rule an entire galaxy. To feel my enemy's fear, to see them run before me and die in the millions. I've fed on entire worlds, and by proxy have fed on hundreds more. The very life essence of millions rests in my hands." -she held up her palms, as if cupping something fragile and precious. Her lithe figure hovered ghostlike toward him- "This is what you want? Isn't it? To feel the ebb and flow of the cosmos in your blood, to feel the energy of worlds at your command, to feed not on triumph, and victory, but the very essence of your enemies?" -she slowly drifted around him in a circle as she spoke, her echoing voice lowering to sibilant whispers near the end, until she was nearly touching his ear with her lips.- "Tell me what you truly want... power... or toys... and I will give it. Provided..." -she drifted back and fixed his gaze with her own lavender slit pupils- "you can offer something of equal value..." |

Pegasus Galaxy, Teplo System, Vitazstvo: Lord Pride’s eye narrow at the innuendo of the Queen as he turns to face her and says,” Do I have something to offer? My good Queen I have the ultimate gift for your kind.” Pride sensing the ball in his court levitates slightly higher into the air, the wind catching his cloak as he looks down and says,” What is the one thing your kind needs but is in short supply?” He grins at the knowing look on her face as he says,”Yesssss, that’s right, the human cattle that has become so very rare in the galaxy.” He looks out over the waste of this world and with a coy tone says,” What if I had a tool that could repopulate this galaxy in a very short time? What if I had an Ancient Matrix at my disposal, what would that be worth your ravenous hordes?” |

-The Primary pulled back her lips and bared black sharp teeth in a feral smile- "Thanks to the adjustments made to our cloning facilities, we can produce as many human cattle as we desire. Within a twenty four hour period I can produce three hundred head at full adult-hood, docile and problem free. If I want to hunt, if my people desire a hunt, I produce a batch that can think and reason on their own, and let them loose." -she lowered to the ground and straightened the edges of her black dress, the middle and sides were not so much fabric, as a series of intricate woven chords that left much of her physique bare to the skin, but was still elegant by most standards. Her white hair still billowed about her like a smoky haze as she kept her lavender eyes on his- "And I know of what you speak. The Matrix... the genesis device left behind by the Alterans after my people crushed them into the dirt of the worlds they sought to play gods with." -her eyes narrowed and her lips curved- "You bargain with commodities you have no true possession of... without my help, you'll never get the device to operate... or you will, but will only master a fraction of it's potential by splicing or hacking or whatever it is you do to make something you don't understand work..." -she gestured at the Death Glider and half turned toward it- "Your technology is useless to me...your power systems are uncomplimentary to ours... " -at this she paused, and examined her talon like nails, her voice taking on a musing tone- "if you were to present, perhaps... a usable, renewable power source that was compatible, and superior to the current organic fusion ... that would be something to bargain with ..." |

Pegasus Galaxy, Teplo System, Vitazstvo: Lord Pride smirks as he says, “I know your technology all too well, my father’s fleets destroyed nearly a dozen of your all vaunted Hives in the Milky Way some years back, do not do yourself a disservice and dismiss the technology of the Titan Empire.” Pride looks bemused as he says, “But yes I know of what you speak…ZPMS as the Tau’ri call them, the Ancients little batteries, those are hard to come by…” Pride walks a few feet off and folding his arms over his chest says, “But of course I would know where to find some, the Matrix has a “healthy” collection of them, but what you ask, would come with such a high price.” Pride looks both confident and hungrily at the Primary as he says, “I am not sure you could pay such a hefty price for such a prize….” |

-The Primary laughed outright, her head thrown back and grasping her stomach with the force of it. It lasted a good half minute or more and Pride was torn between joining her mirth and burning with ire at her reaction. Finally she settled and took a slow deep breath- "My dear, deluded little man... It is not I seeking your aid here. It is you that seeks my help. You know I am the only one to be able to truly awaken the Genesis Device, and yet you offer me the very source of it's power in return? Even one missing or depleted module will make the machine inoperable." -chuckling again she approached, spine and hips and legs all working in tandem to create a serpentine gait.- "You've offered me men, and power, either outside your reach or detrimental to your own efforts. How desperate you must be to overthrow your father and claim his so called empire for yourself." -she held up a taloned fingertip to halt his explosive reply just as his lips opened and his face reddened - "I'll help you ... I'll get your matrix up and operational ... in exchange, you will make me my own galaxy, outside the Pegasus spiral... I've already shown you how much more powerful your own abilities would be with the Gift of Life only I can give. You can move the matrix to a location in the deep dark beyond the Rim ... and start a whole new galaxy" -She stopped within arm's reach, walking her fingertips up his chest with each word- "Just.." -finger walk- "for ..." -finger walk- "me..." -stroking under his chin with her talons, meeting his gaze evenly- "Do we have an accord?" |

Lord Pride floats backward out of the Primary’s reach and folding his arms petulantly over his chest nods reluctantly as he says,” Very well, but this will be very tricky, my father’s loyalist are everywhere. I must tread carefully or risk his power, I am already taking great risk by even talking to you, he believes your kind to be extinct, by his own hand no less.” Lord Pride’s face light up with sinister glee as he says,” I think we can help each other in more ways then one!” Lord Pride floats closer and with barely contained excitement says,” What if you and I were to…. eliminate the Titan, I would be rid of the overbearing blow hard, and you would be avenging all your kind who died by his very machinations….” |

-the moment Pride mentioned even the hint of retribution he knew he'd struck a very tender subject, and walked a fine line between bartering for future power, and the potential end of his own life. The eddies of telekinetic force around her that had been dwindling picked up again, swirling her hair in snake like undulations and her eyes danced with a deadly sinister gleam- "Do not toy with me..." -her voice hissed and dripped with venom- "I treat with you because it puts a thorn in that devil's side, but do not offer me a chance at true retribution unless you are deathly serious about it... " -she advanced upon him, walking up through the air that seporated them, even as he hovered in the air he didn't recoil fast enough as her tall frame was upon him, taloned hand about his throat and her vertical slit eyes mere inches from his. Her breath was sweet, faintly musky, and hot against his own mouth as she spoke- "Tell me, Son of the Father of Sin... tell me truly ... for make no mistake, once we start down this road, there is no turning back until one or both of us are dust in the wind... " -she leaned over him in mid air, her tall frame faintly bending his back as if to plant an intimate kiss, though the look in her eyes made him briefly imagine her taking a few bites out of his screaming face, a visual so intensely real it took him a moment to realize it was exactly what she was thinking, and he saw it reflected in her eyes- "Tell me... truthfully. Do you offer me retribution?" |

For the first time in his life the Alpha of the “Seven” felt….fear, he knew once before the cost of failing to remove the Titan but now he was within inches of a creature whose power rivaled if not eclipsed his own, to a Goa’uld being out classed and at anothers mercy could be no more terrifying. But miss an opportunity to pit two powers of this magnitude against one another was not to be missed. Lord Pride, in true Goa’uld fashion allowed a smile to play across his face as he whispered in an intimate tone,” I will give you only this as a guarantee, I will set the stage, how you perform in the grandest of all plays is your choice. Know this, you would face an ancient power in Atlas, he has slayed more foes with greater power then you could begin to comprehend, it was he who alone slew the whole of the “Seven” in one battle, it was Atlas who fed your sisters to his Primary.” Lord Pride takes a deep breath and sticking his chest out says,” One of your unique ability can see into my mind if you wish, you will know I speak the truth, to face Atlas is face the ABYSS, with my help you stand a chance….a slight one. Without me, your fate is a foregone conclusion.” Lord Pride nods as he sees the look in her eyes and reaching out places his hand on her cheek as he slowly moves it down to her neck and caresses the refined curves. He purrs,” Together no force can oppose us…..” |

-the Primary's eyes, still so close to his, became pools of darkness into which he felt his mind being drawn. Not like before, when her gentle mental fingers were combing through his mind and imprinting temporary memories of the ancient technology, but like she was lifting him out of himself, fully, and wringing him of the information she desired- -the sensation was not physical, and defied even his own limitations of description. It was like being born again, weightless, and formless, yet surrounded on all sides by something alive, and seeking. There was no sense of time, or self, only that he was. That sense of existence was impossibly serene, as if all the burden of mortality was lifted and discarded in that moment. Then, apparently finding what she sought, he was looking up at her again, though this time from his back laid out on the ground as she stood over him, her hands at her sides curling and uncurling claw like nails on long fingers- -the dilated pupils retracted to their vertical slits, and her lips pulled back in a hiss- "Make the preparations... " -and with a whirl of black skirts and a glimpse of long lavender leg, she was striding toward her Scout ship. She didn't pause in her gait as she whipped one arm in front of her, and the ship pulled itself out of the small indent Wrath had tossed it into. The rear hatch was already open and waiting for her as she hovered off the ground with a swirl of dust and smoke, then the engines came alive with an unholy screaming sound, and the abyssal thing shot into the sky with alacrity- -Pride didn't have to ask where she was going, there was only one place she would be headed. He knew he had mere minutes to get to his own ship, and make sure the people currently present on Talus were clear of the Matrix, hell, the planet entirely if the look on the Primary's face was any indication. He'd caught a glimpse of what it was to be a part of that network of minds, all interlinked, all connected, and all through her. He'd heard the command she gave, felt it, almost risen to obey out of natural instinct to reply to the strength of her will- "Come to Talus... bring me my scientists, bring me my builders... bring me my Obsidian... bring me my Warden and my Alpha... Retribution begins today..." -As Pride was getting to his feet the Shadow Scout was breaking atmosphere in a booming comet headed for the massive Shadow Hive in orbit. Soon, that "Leviathan" would be hurtling through space, and it would arrive in Talus with a wave of other ships looking like a full scale assault. He had to make sure not a single shot was fired. From here out, every step he took had to be precisely done. Ajax had to be informed of course, but he couldn't be trusted to handle the Primary as delicately as needed. She was far too bold, too rash, for Ajax to deal with evenly. No, he'd have to do all of this himself.- |

Pegasus Galaxy, Teplo System, Pel’tak of the “Attlia” Class Ship “Heresy”: Lord Pride looks thoughtful as the face of his brother Lord Ajax fills the screen on the Pel’tak. Ajax looks flustered, so much so that he grabs at his collar and loosens the high neck as he says,” You have no idea what a mistake you have made Pride, one of our mandates was to ensure the eradticion of the Wraith and now you are making deals with them? DO you know how this will look to the Emperor?” Lord Pride lounges in the throne, the symbol of the Titan Empire emblazoned on the high back of the chair as he says,” I am have no care how this looks, this all about results, which do you think will matter to Atlas more, a few uncrushed bugs or a fully operational Ancient Matrix?” Lord Ajax’s eyes narrow as he says,” I am not sure what game you ar playing at Pride, but very well, I will order all Titan staff off Talus in preparation of the Wraith’s arrival.” Lord Pride nods as he then says,” And the Replicators?” Ajax looks chagrinned as he says,” They seem very persistent, they offer much, too much, I am suspicious, and have doubts.” Lord Pride smirks as he says,” Machines or no…they want something, just like everyone else, find out what it is, they will be crucial to me in the coming times.” Ajax nods as the screen goes dark. Lord Pride leans his head back into the throne and with a sigh orders the “Heresy” to jump to Talus……. |
