Fiction:Apotheosis

Love outlasts death... Apotheosis is a story set roughly 70-75 million years before the formation of the, in a time before intergalactic conflict and cooperation, where entire galaxies lay relatively isolated from each other. However, this is not the story of politics or war, but rather the story of a figure who would make an impact on the Gigaquadrant that will change it forever.

A lone warrior stood on the bridge of a titanic ship. A vessel of both exploration and warfare. Before the warrior lay an intricate formation of bright yellow stars that made up the Oikamene constellation. The warrior was deep in thought, if he had his way, all of these stars, indeed all the stars within his reach, would be under the protection of the Oikamene Council, the governing body of the Thirteenth Tribe. But alas, his wife curtailed these ambitions. However, this did not particularly annoy him as he valued her love more then his own existence.

His contemplation was interrupted however, when one of the warrior's AI servants translocated beside him, the, custodian of the new gateway installation being built, Amemoriam, a true marvel of technological achievement.


 * Adjunct - Greetings, master!
 * Warrior - Greetings Adjunct. I trust construction is proceeding as I planned.
 * Adjunct - Construction on this installation is ''going exceptionally well, great one. Very soon, I would guess that the Amemoriam system could be a hub of Oikamene activity in this sector of the galaxy. Truly an excellent method to ensure the continuity of our blessed obelisk. I, however am the bringer of more important news.

The warrior stopped what he was doing and glared at the AI.


 * Warrior - What could possibly be more important than your primary function?


 * Adjunct - "She" is on her way here.

The Adjunct's blue chassis bounced excitedly in mid-air, dancing with glee. The warrior's mouth etched a small smile, but he suppressed it.


 * Warrior - Do calm down 453. I will deal with her arrival when it comes. You are dismissed.

The Adjunct nodded slightly and translocated yet again, leaving the warrior to contemplate the situation. He knew that "she" was in fact, his wife, a figure of great importance in the Oikamene's society, a biological cataloger by the name of Libraé. Their love symbolised the meeting of opinions, differences expressed through ultimate affection. However, the galaxy was experiencing trying times, with many civilisations rising up against the Oikamene Obelisk, in other words the belief among the Tribe that they were destined to be the custodians and protectors of all life in the galaxy. Libraé was completely against such a thing, but her husband viewed such defiance as heresy of the highest caliber. However, true to their love, it did not come between them.

Due to these dark times, the warrior hadn't seen his wife in the flesh for well over ten years, though they had of course kept up correspondence over holographic communication, which needless to say was incredibly advanced for the Tier 0 Tribe. However, the warrior looked forward to seeing his wife in person, and began to make preparations for her arrival.
