If fear was something that would dampen the will and thoughts of Orikan would never have cried out against the gods who had betrayed them. No, he was the owner of this system and rock and he was going to stand his ground, “You have come into my system with your primitive machines and ruined a full decade of calibration work! Now the Stellar Forces are ruined for this sector for three years before I can resume my divination! What do you have to say to that?”
Orikan had to look up towards the face of his intruder, which was annoying him to no end. Were all humans this large?
“It is my apologies for causing you such troubles. I have seen echoes of your work and those echoes have drawn me to you.” The large creature said in what Orikan realized was a perfectly articulated necrontyr. It was sent in a datastream that had engrams that were not of necron origin, but had corrected coding that his body was able to decode it.
“So you came to me like a sekir to a fire?” Orikan complained as he raised his staff in the air. He should punish this person but then he began to think more and more, “Tell me, human, it was about fifty years ago that I felt someone poking at the Stellar Phenomena causing havoc with the streams. Was that you?”
The creature before him <span class="mu-i">smiled</span> as if he was wise to a joke, “I had wondered too who I interacted with on that day. I know it was not the Machine God for the Machine God can only communicate with me through miracles. It seems that it was you, a Necron, who I had the pleasure of meeting that day.”
Confusion racked the circuits of Orikan as he tried to make sense of that. Fifty years ago this man was causing havoc like a child trying to fit a square into a cylinder, but now he was so skilled that he was able to <span class="mu-i">passively</span> take in the energy of stars?
He did not lie though, and for that Orikan felt something of interest in what should have been a simple vermin. It also helped that this man was not some ignorant croticker but someone who was aware of what he was speaking to.
“I have entertained our meeting because I was feeling merciful.” Orikan spoke as he lowered his staff towards the human before him, “But I wish to see what you have managed, human. Prove to me that you have the competency great enough that I should even entertain you as anything more than vermin.”
