-In the weeks following Ares departure to the Sphere, and the Lorem Ipsum quest, Aion had been far from idle. Regular treks to the rubble remains of Kualpush were made every few days, and the disassembled station extensions that had been built around Feltor Brey had been reassembled without it. As Aion's outer level quantum field was still inverted, from an outside view, the scaffolding and building platforms hovered in the middle of empty space, surrounded by a small cluster of golden Chariots, and the looming 'Methuselah'- -Lex and Mac had established a steady routine for both resource gathering and flight practice. Not one to let crews sit on their hands while Ares was away, equal parts maneuvering and moc dog fighting was set up in the asteroid fields, for fighters, Fists, and even the Scorpions against the vaunted Chariots. Daily 'tournaments' for titles and bragging rights were set up to keep them busy and on their toes, while Lex worked diligently on a project she wouldn't let anyone except Rom, Stern and Zypher know about. She knew Strife was the 'Queen', and that second only to Rom and Stern she had say in the Dominion, but something about her made Lex not trust the former queen of Legion- -today the officials of the Dominion of War received a communique from Lex aboard the building platform, stating it was time to unveil per project. Rom and Stern arrived via Arc Light, racing each other in and around the struts and spires of the workstation before landing at the arrival dock. Mac was already there, going over the last of the most recent resource installment. Strife, Melisande and Zypher were the last to arrive, escorted by a pair of Furies and Discord jaffa.- -As the group assembled in the high observation deck, Lex moved to a station and nodded to the technician there. They could see that the station was retrofitted with external quantum storage bouies, and that the project Lex had been working on was cleverly concealed inside one. The tech made a few signal commands on his console, and a quartet of Fist alkesh came into view, each attaching their mag grapple to a corner of the quantum framework. Hitting a release, the whole frame came free of the station and the Fist flight towed it out away from the build platform. - "Before Ares left, he gave me a schematic. He didn't tell me to build it, he told me to review it and ..well... I suppose the best way to review a structure is to build it, and test it." -Lex began, faintly wringing her hands and nearly dancing in place with anxiety. Rom and Stern stood mirrored on one side, both with arms crossed loosely. Melisande stood with hands behind her back but kept an eye on the view port, while Strife listened to Lex, and Zypher swatted Mac's hand to get him to look up from the manifest he was working on- -when all eyes were on the viewer, Lex made a grand motion expanding her hands- "I give you the "Kheron" model War Cruiser," -and as the Fist Alkesh released their hold on the framework, it expanded to nearly three times the size of the average Chariot, and space around and within it began to ripple as the containment field was disengaged.- -The center of the ship was like a hexagonal multi tier ziggurat, surrounded by massive arcing spires that curved inward to nearly meet in the center high above the middle of the ship. Suspended between the spires, much like on a War Chariot, was a quantum crystal array, but this one seemed different, more reinforced. Instead of two sets of three platform extensions around the central core of the ship, there were three pylon extensions, each with a cluster of three hexagonal structures, each with its own fortification- -As they watched Lex ran the ship through it's power up checklist. Gold and bronze glittered in the dim solar light as the massive ship came to life, the crystal hovering above and below the center seeming to lazily begin to dance and spin in place, while the spires pulsed with power relays and tracking lights. The multiple pillars and platforms ran through a weapon display check, bristling with Point Defense Laser turrets, missile bays and cannon placements.- "And last but not least.." -Lex leaned over to the communication station- "Control to Kheron Alpha, full contingent launch in three.. two ... one ... mark." -Like the Chariots, the new ship used quantum storage technology for it's fighter bays and assault ship holding facility. On Lex's mark, all these ships launched in a cloud of glittering gold and bronze. A full fifteen wings of Arc Light fighters, and ten wings of the slower but deadly Centaur glider/bombers surrounded the outer pylons like angry hornets and dancing leaves. From the center launched five full wings of Fist Alkesh, their bulk dwarfing the fighters as they formed a double helix flight pattern around the center of the ship- -There was a great cheer from the building crew as their long hours and secret work were unveiled and christened. Lex was congratulated on managing to complete the project in such a state, and though untested in battle, it was clear the "Kharon" model would be a grand extension of the Dominion's fleet- |

-On Ares' return from Olympus, after depositing Achilles and Wepwawet on the Sphere in Charon, Ares set up a massive exodus agenda. Using the Methuselah and the newly finished 'Kharon' warship's rolling reversal shields, all the ships were moved into the folded space within the Aion planetary field.- -Once within, Ares made his way to the central control at the Primary Academy he set the geothermal plant to full capacity charge, and like before when shifting the polarity of the outer layer of the planet's field, changed the quantum entanglement equations, shifting not just the folded space, but the whole of the planet- -Like before, through the gap between upper and lower hemispheres of the planet, the multiverse opened out like a carpet before them. Millions upon millions of parallel realities, the first step on a long voyage of exploration and discovery- [OOC Note: Where Aion was, there is only empty space and a quantum distortion signature from the pulse detonation during the Malcathi attack, that will fade in the next few years. Aion, Ares, and all his followers gone with it.] |
