Xigor

 * Creator:Wormulon
 * Character:Xigor

After last night's celebration, work began immediatly. Xigor woke up with a hang over, but he is a Grimbolsaurian and will deal with it. However, there were reports already, in fact just a few days ago a new strain of Nanohorde- the Quantumhorde was causing panic and confusion, as they began to devastate several galaxies already in frightening speed thanks to their assimilated Xhodocto drives and Quark-Gluon disruptors, consuming, and replicating more of themselves, destroying almost everything in their wake. From simplicity arises destruction.

Xigor, working among top scientists must find a way to stop the Horde soon. After an assignment briefing, he quickly travelled down to the labs and science deck. As soon as he entered he briefed the clean artificial smell in, this was his world, not of warriors, but of science. But he had an important task at hand. First, the Quantumhorde must be collected securly, Xigor had the idea of trapping the horde by making them very cold, so cold, they would lose energy and slow down, there he could experiment with them on the station safely.

Samedi

 * Writer: Tobiaswolf
 * Character: Samedi

It Followed Me Home
It had been a few days since his escape and Samedi was loving it. He had became close friends with the Mecron and had learned their code names to avoid publicity. Echo, Wolf, Bones, Alpha and Delta. They were all living Mecron that broke away from the empire to start a Dojo-like city full of skilled Samurai-like Mecron. The 6 came home to a still Fordanta. Echo tried to slap him awake but his hand went through his face.

Echo- This is a trap, they know about us, we have to leave, now. Samedi- Let me get my things and we can go. Echo- ''We have to go, any second they could come here, Wolf, lock the doors and scout from the window. You, we are leaving, we owe you.'' Samedi- But...

Just as Samedi was going to say his next word the air shimmered and numerous Fordan came out of nowhere. All six attempted to escape but they were guarding the door. The group sprinted to the bathroom, the only place that had a door that locked. Bones, Delta and Alpha didn't make it, they were caught by the closing Fordanta. The room shacked and they were running out of time. Thinking quickly, Wolf decided to open the door, and have Samedi escape through vents with Echo. Fordans couldn't fit through it but Meta-bot and mecron can. After traveling through many passages the duo rested.

Echo- They don't know where we are, they can't. They're probably ratting us out right now. Samedi- ''You don't know that, what about us though? We can't leave without the 4, I won't. You can leave but I'm going back to find them.'' Echo- I'm coming, I won't return to the homeland without Wolf.

The two friends then went all the way back to the silent Fordan group. The head of the group, Ri'Kar'D looked up and saw Samedi. He alerted the others and Samedi came down from the vent with his hands up and the Fordans immediately surrounded him and took him away. Meanwhile Echo was still out of sight.

Lsarius

 * Character: Lsarius Tyrensis

Just Another Day At Work...
Lsarius alarm rang. Lsarius woke and sat up. He looked at his watch, which lied at the bedside table. It was 7.30 am (GF Time). He had sleeped through his first two alarms at 7.00 and 7.15. He got dressed and left the apartment. He had a fifteen minutes walk to his work so he bought a sandwich and ate it on the way. He arrived at 7.57 am (GF Time) and his co-worker, GF Councillor Yndina was alraedy there.

"Where have you been? We have been looking all over for you. You would not even answer on your phone.", she said.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot to turn it on. Have something happened?" Lsarius replied.

"Yes. I have good news and bad news."

"Start with the good ones."

''Okay. We've been accepted into the SSA."''

"Well, that's great. And the bad ones."

"Joining the SSA means a lot more paperwork for us. But that's not the worst. The quantumhorde has been sighted here in Galaxon."

"The what-horde"

"The Quantumhorde. You know about the Nanohorde, right..."

"Yes"

"This is the Nanohorde but much more evolved."

"Okay. Send a transmission to Treco. Ask him to send a few scientists to help us. And I think were going to celebrate that we have joined the SSA. Tell the staff."

"What about going to Vito's."

"Okay. Tell the staff to be there at 8.00 pm."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

Lsarius left the building. He was going to see a security officer. The same Grimbolsaurian who had greeted him the first day. Three workers then came around the corner. One of them, the leader, drew a knife and said:

"Hey you, Fancy-Pants. Come here and give us your money."

Lsarius started to walk slowly towards them, pretending to give in. As he was close enough reach the worker he moved one hand inside his shirt, as if he was going to take out his wallet. With the other hand he punched the worker in the face. The worker fell to the ground. Lsarius pulled out a small plasma pistol from his shirt and said:

"You'd better leave. Now".

The workers picked up their friend and left. Then the security officer arrived.

"Why do always security officers arrive to late", Lsarius asked.

"Bad luck,I guess", the officer said. "Now follow me. I've got someome who wants to meet you."

Then they started walking.

Benjamud IV
Writer: BNSCLeader Character: Benjamud IV

Oh great, aliens!!
While walking back to his casino, on the way he sees smoke and people running away from the area and hears lots of screaming. Benjamud stops, he sees a shadow character, but then he sees four shadow characters.

Benjamud - "Oh shit, it's aliens!!"

Benjamud turns around and starts running, he heads towards Vito's Bar, but he's getting shot at by the aliens, but he evades every shot, then one of the aliens' vehicles fires at a building and it falls over blocking Benjamud, then Benjamud comes face to face with the broken building and then turns around, facing the aliens. Everthing is silent.

Benjamud - "Come on, bring it on, bitches!!"

Then the moment of silence ends when the aliens starts firing at Benjamud, but Benjamud evades every single shot with backflips. Then Benjamud started to run around a street, and then sees Vito's Bar's sign, but it's shot down by the aliens. Benjamud kept running until he the aliens' vehicles stopped running at him, then he thought to himself.

Benjamud - Now's my chance...

Benjamud runs towards one of the vehicles and breaks a hole into the vehicle, and kills the aliens in it. He then takes control of the vehicle and aims at another vehicle. But then the other vehicles all aim at him.

Benjamud - "Oh, for the love of Christ, come on now!!"

Benjamud then pushs a button and jumps out of the vehicle, then he just sees it being torn to shreds.

Benjamud - "Better get the hell outta here!!"

Then he jumps into the nearest bush and watches the aliens. He then just waits until they leave.

Then he wakes up and finds himself in his bedroom, in his bed.

Benjamud - "Godamnit, good thing that was a dream."

Then he went back to sleep.

L'ya Sha'nda

 * Writer:''NanjeofKro
 * Character:L'ya Sha'nda

Arrival
L'ya Sha'nda gazed out of the starship's window. "It is very large" she thought."Why build such a thing?". "I guess I will find out soon enough. "We are docking. Should we follow you onto the station?" one of the crewmembers asked. "No, I think I will be fine" L'ya replied. She had traveled to many a place without guards, she didn't think she would need any here. As she walked out of the ship, she was approached by two large, insectoid aliens in technolgically advanced suit of armor. "Krrrrtlkiiiii shwikiiir klrrrk" one of them said. "Sorry, I can't understand you" L'ya replied. "Krrrrtlkiiiii shwikiiir klrrrk" the alien said once again, this time more angrily. "Sorry, I can't understand you" she once again said. The creature looked at her angrily, then pointed where she stood, implying that she should stay where she were.

30 minutes later, the creature came back, with another kazaru. "This security guard wants you to reveal name and species" the kazaru said. "L'ya Sha'nda, kazaru". The kazaru said the very same thing to the alien, the alien talked back, and the kazaru understood! L'ya noticed that he wore some kind of headset, which seemingly allowed him to understand the alien. "I must get one of those" she thought. "Excuse me, but could you tell me where I could get one of those headsets that you are wearing?". Of course, hasma, take mine, I don't want to waste your time". "Thank you" she said. She then happily walked away, certain that her newly accuired device would allow her to learn much new knowledge.

Avexia

 * Writer: Irskaad
 * Character: DT Avexia

A visit
Avexia scanned through her TV, which was filled with many foreign channels, she then stopped at a religious one. Avexia was confused at the concept of destiny, and carried on scanning. She then stopped at a News channel. She heard of something called "The Quantumhorde", she asked Taxia about it.

Avexia - "What is the Quantumhorde?" Taxia - "Hmmmmm... Nothing to worry about, I bet it's just an army of soldiers that could be defeated by the Iteok. No worries." Avexia - "Allright. Bye!" Taxia - "Oh, and make sure you talk to aliens today! I have a list of Halcyon inhabitants that you would find interesting, Vito is a nice bar owner, Ri'Kar'D is another nice Fordanta, you met him. "Saturday" is a cute robot, he's a metabot, you should meet him. Benjamud IV is a cute bearian. Xigor is a nice Grimbie. I got this list because I looked around in this camera" (Avexia's Floating Camera) "while you were watching TV, and I saw these people. Go meet them. Avexia - "Yes sir!"

Avexia decided to leave her apartment, and she saw the bar, where Vito was. It was her chance to make herself respected by her teacher.

She entered the bar, and talked to Vito.

Avexia - "Can you give me some Peko soda?" Vito - "We don't sell Peko soda. It is too foreign." Avexia - "Oh, ok... I thought they knew us better by now..." *Looks at Vito* "Awww, aren't you cute?" Vito - "Yes... Thanks?"

She then decides to pet Vito. This slightly angers him, and she grabs her arm and says:

Vito - "Stop. Now." *Lets go of arm* Avexia - "It's our way of showing people we like them..." Vito - "I don't care about your messed up culture, in here, we pet animals, not people!" Avexia - "You obviously haven't been in Ka- I mean, Vatelia. Many Asgordians pet each other here." Vito - "As I said, I don't care." *Gives her soda* "Just drink. The price is 1 §." Avexia - *Shows him Kron money* "All I have is Kron..." *Somehow finds a Sporebuck bill* "Oh, here you go." Vito - "Good. See you later!" Avexia - "Bye!"

After she saw Ri'Kar'D and he injected stims on Avexia, healing her bruises, Taxia then contacts Avexia.

Taxia - "How doesn't he like petting?" Avexia - "I have no idea. But I got a "Spoorbuk" bill on my wallet somehow-" Taxia - "I put it there. Nobody takes the mighty Kron here for some reason... Anyways, try not to pet the next person. Ok?" Avexia - "Ok!"

And so she walks again, looking for more people to talk to...

Ri'Kar'D

 * Writer: Spriggs077
 * Character: Ri'So'Va Cdr. Ri'Kar'D

On Patrol?
Ri'Kar'D was furious. To him it seemed that the entire station disapproved of him and his warriors. To date, he and his men had stopped two potentially lethal fights, apprehended a bank robber who had killed innocent bystanders, and his reward? Two warnings and a prisoner escaping. Fordans are all naturally talented at hiding their emotions, but not from each other. Ri'Kar'D's squad could all tell that he was being affected by the way the occupants of the station were treating him, so they went out on patrol to give the commander some time to cool off.

Eventually Ri'Kar'D decided he wasn't going to get anywhere sitting around and moping, so against all good judgement he went back to Vito's. On the way in, he saw Avexia walking out, and vaguely wondered if she had tried to pet anyone. He saw the bruises on her arm and figured she had. He caught up with her and gave her a quick shot from a stim-injector, and the bruises faded. As he walked back to Vito's, Ri'Kar'D thought back to the time he met Avexia. It seemed to him that he was going to be spending a lot of time on the station protecting the careless girl, but perhaps that was what he needed, something to keep his mind off the treatment he was getting from the rest of the station.

As he walked into Vito's, he drew the usual gasps and stares, but he wasn't wearing his armour, instead he wore a long garment of finely woven cloth. A quick gesture showed that he wasn't carrying weapons, and the crowd relaxed. Vito eyed him cautiously, as if to say "Don't try anything funny punk." Glancing around the room, Ri'Kar'D spotted a spare table and took a seat. A couple of his warriors were relieved from their patrol routes and joined him. Then the surprising thing happened: Ri'Kar'D mentioned the effects of a sword's cross-section on swing speed and impact, and the three started a debate. Some of the patrons turned on translators and listened to the three giant warriors discuss with the polished vocabulary of a senior professor, and a great number of them revised their opinions of Fordans on the spot. Eventually the three decided by mutual agreement that the debate wasn't going to go anywhere, so they started laughing and ordered some drinks.

Eventually the Kin-group all met up outside Vito's, and decided they'd cut loose for a bit, just to ease the tension of the past few days. Passers by were amazed to find twenty-one 10ft tall killers settling down with a drink in one hand and a book in the other, talking to people about nothing in particular. The spectacle made the Kin-group look more like a party of bureaucrats than a team of lethal murderers, and the sight was something that many of the occupants of the station remembered every time they saw a Fordan from that day forward. Ri'Kar'D knew that it alone wouldn't change peoples' opinions overnight, but he was enjoying himself too much to care.

Benjamud IV

 * Character: Benjamud IV

Augmention time!!
While Benjamud's sleeping, his alarm went off.

Benjamud - "Damnit, time already?"

So Benjamud got out of his bed, then he brushed his teeth and then took a shower, then he got dressed, then he checked his phone before he left.

Benjamud - "What's new today?"

Benjamud then checked his updates folder, it said today the Bearian augmention was today, on Halcyon.

Benjamud - "Oh shit, better hurry!!"

Then Benjamud got his stuff and hurried to the nearest hospital, then he entered the hospital, but got stuck in a big line up.

Benjamud - Oh great, I guess I can wait.

So then Benjamud sat down in a chair and waited, then he went to sleep.

An hour later...

Benjamud wakes up, he looks around him.

Benjamud - "Where am I?"

Benjamud got out of the seat and went to the office.

Benjamud - "Hello, I'm here for the new Bearian augmentation."

Then the person in the office looked at him, frowning, Benjamud knew this person hated his job.

Office Person - "Name? Sigh..."

Benjamud - "Benjamud Zeta."

Then the office person registered his name in, then got out of it's chair.

Office Person - "Follow me please. Sigh..."

Then they both walked to a doctor's room, it said Doctor Harwout Lobuet, Benjamud didn't know what kind of name a person would have like that one.

Office Person - "In here please, the doctor will see you in a minute. Sigh..."

Then Benjamud walked in to the room and then sat down in a chair.

A minute later...

The Doctor came into the room with a niddle.

Doctor - "Hello and good morning, I'm Doctor Harwout Lobuet. I want to make this quick, please, I have another person to take care of."

Benjamud - "Alright."

Then Benjamud got his niddle and left, then he headed to his Casino. Then he checked his watch.

Benjamud - "Damnit, I'm an hour and a half late!!"

So Benjamud continued running to his Casino.

Katarina

 * Writer: CaptainTybusen
 * Character: Katarina

A New Assignment
Finally, a day off, Katarina thought. The maintenance crew finally decided to have a vacation day. Katarina was down at the beach, relaxing in the sun. I could sit here all day, she thought. I don't think there's anything that could ruin-

Katarina's phone started to ring.

"I had to ask." Katarina said, annoyed. She reached for her beach bag, grabbed the phone, and answered it. "What is it? This better be important."

"This is a very important matter, Katarina," the voice replied.

"Wha- Who is this?" Katarina asked.

"This is Xigor, a scientist on Station Halcyon," the voice said. "We require your services in the research center. Now." With that, Xigor hung up. Katarina was slightly frustrated. Leaving the fun to go help some researcher. Yeah, whoop-de-frickin-do. Katarina thought. ''It's so important, isn't it. It's not like the Nanohorde's speeding this way right now. Yeah. Right.''

Katarina stormed into the research room, still in her beach clothing. She definitely stood out amongst the other scientists and engineers in their lab coats. There was a somewhat artificial smell in the air. The smell of science.

Soon, a researcher approached her. "Ah, Xigor was expectin-" he began.

"Just make this quick, I sacrificed a vacation day for this," Katarina said.

"Katarina, we need you to cooperate with us. The-" the scientist began.

"Look, I don't care if it's a broken Bunsen Burner or the frickin' Nanohorde speeding this way," Katarina said. "All I want is to go back to the beach, soak up some sun rays, then go home to watch Saturday Night Live."

"Katarina, the Nanohorde are speeding this way."

"Yeah, that's what I- They're what? You mean they're back? I thought we frickin' trapped them in Xhoddie-Land!"

"We did, but- Well, it's a long story..."

After the researcher explained the rise of the Quantumhorde, Katarina's eyes were wide with terror. There's no way that could have happened, she thought. Damnit, no wonder it was so important.

"Katarina!" someone said. Katarina looked up to see Xigor. "Ah, Katarina, I've heard many stories. Many. You certainly have a high reputation."

"I assume you already have a plan?"

"Yes, yes I do. Come, I shall explain..."

Katarina and Xigor walked down the long hall to the depths of the research chamber, all while Xigor gave Katarina her new assignment...

Vito Nelph

 * Writer: Lucario of the Gods
 * Character: Vito Nelph

Memory
Vito breathed heavily as he served a Gundaan Borech, a type of blue alcoholic drink, to a customer. The customer looked at Vito and said "What's wrong?" While Vito breathed heavily, his vision was blurring. "Nothing..." he tried to say. "Nothing....at all......" He fell unconscious.

Vito opened his eyes and saw that he was no longer on Halcyon, instead in a large field with mud rising to the surface. The skies were red while the clouds were black. Vito was observing a distant memory. He then saw hundreds of his kind charge ahead towards an army of large reptiles, nearly as tall as Fordans. Guns were fired, swords clashed, blood was spilled. Vito cannot remember completely why the fight took place, but he knew that he was in the army of his kind. He saw a fighter fly over head towards a large ship of black metal. The large ship burst into flames and fell onto Vito's army, killing them all.

He came back to consciousness. He looked up at his surprised customer. "What?" asked Vito. "Are you sure you are okay?" the customer asked. Vito stood on his feet. "I'm fine, but I sense that something's coming. I sense something foreign stirring up trouble." said Vito. The customer looked disgusted. "Hey, that's racist!" exclaimed the customer. Vito rolled his eyes. "I meant foreign to this part of the Universe." explained Vito. The customer walked away with his drink, while Vito had a strange feeling in his gut.

Benjamud IV

 * Writer: BNSCLeader
 * Character: Benjamud IV

Bar fight!!!
Benjamud kept rushing to his casino, then when he got there, he got ready as fast as he could, or what would say, as fast a Bearian could. But then one of his employees came up to him.

Employee - "You're late boss, what happened?"

Benjamud - ''"Pant... Bearian Augmention, Pant... today, at every Pant... Halcyon hospital.. Pant..."

Employee - "Alright then boss."

Then the employee left and went back to his station, Benjamud headed towards his office. When got inside his office, he walked to his chair and sat down and turned on his TV and looked at all of the news reports on Halcyon and his casino. Then he there was a news report about Vito.

Reporter - "Today, here at Station Halcyon, the boss of Vito's Bar, otherwise Vito, himself, was working until he started talking slowly, what do you have to say?"

Customer - "Well, um... I saw Vito serving this guy his drink, until Vito started talking slowly and the guy was asking Vito if he was alright, but then Vito fainted. Everyone in the bar was focusing on Vito. After Vito got up, the guy was all like, "That's racist!!", or something, and then he left with his drink."

Reporter - "Thank you very much, this is Reporter Sally McGree, signing off."

News Achor - "Thank you Sally, now, we go to Avexia."

Then Benjamud shut off the TV, and then walked outside, into the lobby of his casino, watching his customers playing the lottery games and his employees helping them and serving them. Then Benjamud walked back into his office and went to sleep in his casino's bedroom.

7 Earth Hours Later...

Benjamud woke up and checked all the news reports, nothing new was on the news. Benjamud then headed to the lobby and saw his employees closing the casino and counting the money. After the money was counted and his employees headed home, Benjamud headed to Vito's Bar.

1 Earth Hour Later...

When Benjamud got to Vito's Bar, he headed towards Vito, but he was blocked by a drunk stranger.

Stranger - "Who are you, bitch?!"

Benjamud - "Why the hell do you care? Get out of my way or you will be sorry."

Stranger - "Oh, is that right? Well, look whose sorry now, bitch!!"

The stranger then punched him in the face, Benjamud fell flat on his back. Benjamud then got up and went into a combat stance.

Benjamud - "I said you would be sorry!!"

Benjamud punched the stranger and he fell down, then he got up and tried to punch Benjamud.

Stranger - "Stop moving you son of a bitch!!"

Then they faught and faught, then everyone in the bar turned towards them.

Everyone - "Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!!!"

They both started fighting like hell met heaven, until Benjamud beat the stranger, but Benjamud had blood all over his face and a black eye.

Benjamud - "That's right, don't pick a fight... Bitch..."

Benjamud then headed towards Vito.

Vito - "Look what you did Benjamud, you beat the hell out of that guy!! You're just lucky he isn't dead, yet..."

Benjamud - "I know Vito, I know. I'm sorry but he started the whole godamn fight you know. Sigh... Just give me the wine I want, and I will leave."

Vito - "Fine."

Vito then gave Benjamud his wine and Benjamud left.

1 Earth Hour Later...

After Benjamud got his wine, he then headed to his apartment. After he opened his door, he then got a glass and poured some of the wine and drank. Benjamud then headed to bed. Then Benjamud fell asleep again.

Samedi

 * Writer: Tobiaswolf
 * Character: Samedi

I Got the Crazy Blues
Samedi woke, he was shoved in a police car and given pills before passing out. He couldn't move, he didn't have the energy for it. Just then he realized he was in a padded room. Oh my god... Samedi thought. Just as he was going to get up, the door opened and an unfamiliar face was seen, Samedi didn't know what alien. He then had two other huge aliens to lift Samedi to his feet, but they didn't let go. The smaller creature than began to speak.

Creature-Hey buddy what's your name? Samedi- Don't give me that crap you freak of nature! Creature- ''Sigh, they're never easy. I'm your therapist, I'll ask again, what's your name?'' Samedi- Sic..sember... Creature- You two, give him the prescription.

Just like that Samedi punched the two in their stomachs, bringing them down. He then went for the little one, he was frightened so Samedi didn't bother. Samedi then left the room, then he saw a Fordan with his arms crossed.

Samedi- Just forgot this wasn't the hospital, i'll be leaving now. The fordan walks towards him Samedi- ''sigh, fine. Thought this was going to be a cake-walk.''

Samedi went back into the room, where it was then locked from the outside. The therapist then had a sarcastic grin on his face and the other two large aliens grabbed Samedi. Where is Echo? Samedi muttered to himself. Samedi was then put on a sort of leash and was left to rot as the therapist asked questions about the crime. Than after an hour of questioning, he was deemed safe enough to be with normal crazy people. Samedi was escorted to the new room he had. There were to beds, the other had someone in it. The sheets moved and the person got up to greet the roommate, but the therapist gave Samedi's information to the roommate. Then Samedi realized who this was, a Mecron. It was Wolf! The two talked for hours but then their door was opened and the 3 usual aliens were there. They realized the mistake they had made. Wolf gestured for Samedi to ride with him. Samedi and Wolf raced out of the room, then the hall, but when they got to the floor they required a password. All the windows were barred and more than 3 guards were coming, even the Fordan was there. The Fordan grabbed Samedi and the others got wolf, they were each dragged to two different padded rooms. Samedi then realized that they couldn't fight the system, so Samedi didn't fight. No longer was Samedi trusted so he was only able to see the Therapist, the most hated person on the floor. Once however, somebody named Avexia came to their and saw Samedi and took off his ring. Samedi was almost certain he would never be free.

Tazch'xatri

 * Writer: The Randomness/Spriggs077
 * Character: Tazch'xatri/Ri'Kar'D

Limits
After watching the various incidents involving Ri'Kar'D on the station through some security cameras he had installed, Tazch'xatri, being the chief of security on the station, decided to hold a meeting with Ri'Kar'D despite the fact that the group of Fordans were more or less "independent". As he waited for Ri'Kar'D to arrive, he armed himself with a stun pistol and a small knife in case the Fordan would react violently to something he said, and then concealed them as to make it appear as if he were unarmed, and also to hide his mistrust towards him. As Ri'Kar'D sat down in a chair, Tazch'xatri set his vocal synthesizer to the Fordan language, and began speaking.

"I do believe you know why you are here, Ri'Kar'D, and so, I will not bother in small talk and get to the point. While I am aware that you and your "Kin-group" are considered to be an independent force when it comes to the security of the station, some restraints must be placed so then you can't be running amok causing mayhem on the station. What do you think about this?"

''"I think that if you are to arm yourself, have the decency to put that knife and pistol where I can see them. Don't seem so surpised. I am 2046 years old, and in that time I have learnt the various ways of hiding weapons. It doesn't work against me. You didn't need to bring a weapon to tell me that you don't trust me. the very context of this meeting told me all I need to know. If you want to put on restrictions, so be it, but you shall recieve no guarantee that they will be adhered to. *The Fordan leaned closer, and his face darkened as it moved slightly out of the light.* You may lead the security forces aboard this station, but do not forget that it was my Fordanta who broke the gang robbing tourists and crew on the docking level. It was my Kin who found the fugitive Samedi when he escaped, my Kin who reclaimed him, and my Kin who recaptured him when he escaped, even after he slipped through the fingers of your security. Keep that in mind when you dare presume to limit my powers."

Avexia

 * Writer: Irskaad
 * Character: DT Avexia

Samedi, bleu Samedi
Avexia was on her jolly walks, looking for someone to talk to. She saw a wierd hospital, and she then thought:

Avexia - "Should I or Shouldn't I visit?" Taxia - *Appears from her floating camera* "Hello, Avexia. Yes, do come in, I saw Ri'Kar'D in there 15 minutes ago, while you were getting ready to walk around. Also, I think I saw "Saturday" in there, go see him!" Avexia - "Ok, I will see if he's ok."

Avexia then came inside the hospital, and asked:

Avexia - "... Yes, can I see Mr. Saturday Metabot, please?" Clerk - "... We have nobody named Saturday here. But there is one close: Samedi. He's in a Therapy center. Here's a map, and note: He's dangerous." Avexia - "Why?" Clerk - "Basically he's Violent. Be careful... Diplomat Trainee Avexia."

Avexia smiled, and walked to Samedi's location. He saw everyone, and even skipped Samedi, until she was warned:

Taxia - "Samedi is the 4 Legged robot." Avexia - "Oh."

So she went to Samedi's room, and she saw him, alone, talking to Wolf, a mecron.

Avexia - *Entering gently* "Hello, Metabot, I represent the Friendly Republic of the Asgord." Samedi - "Call me Samedi." Avexia - "You poor thing, you seem calm. Why are people being mean to you?" Samedi - "Well, I robbed a bank, then I got caught by a Fordan, then I escaped, then I got caught again." Avexia - "You know, banks aren't supposed to be robbed here. Your culture may allow that, but here it is not allowed. Look, I have here a copy of Station Halcyon's Rules, let me just give them to-" *Notices Samedi's Ring* "What is that?" Samedi - "Well, it's my containment ring, if I ever leave the station, I will die by this." Avexia - "What? That is unfair! This is a place of peace, not a prison!" Samedi - "I know." Avexia - "A prison would be fine, but Station Halcyon? Oh no! I'm removing that thing!" *Draws a heat laser, and she cuts the ring in 2, removing it* "Doesn't that feel much better?" Samedi - "Thanks, I really hated that thing... I wish I could reward you, but I'm stuck here." Avexia - "Yeah, how is this fair? Trapping people inside a prison doesn't heal them! Look, I hope you'll be fine, when you're out, come to my house! It's right opposite to Vito's bar." Samedi - "Ok, thanks." Avexia - "By the way, here's the rulebook." *Gives him the book* "Bye!" Samedi - "Thanks, bye!"

Avexia left the Hospital, and was contacted by Taxia.

Taxia - "Well done! Giving him the rules to the Station and releasing him from that unfair prison was excellent! This will be worth big on your grade!" Avexia - "YAY! Oh look, a... Casino? What is a Casino?" Taxia - "Oh, that's a "Hatlia Jona", a Luck house. A bearian owns it. They're good for petting, go meet him!" Avexia - "Yes Teacher!"

She then runs to the casino, ready to meet Benjamud IV.

Benjamud IV

 * Writer: BNSCLeader
 * Character: Benjamud IV

Here comes Avexia, interview time!!!
The next morning, Benjamud's alarm went off.

Benjamud - "Already?"

So Benjamud got out off bed, he brushed his teeth, got dressed, made his bed, had wine and breakfast, and then left. He then stretched and then headed to his car and got in it and then turned the car keys.

Benjamud - *Yawns* "Alright. Let's go."

So Benjamud drove all the way from his new apartment all the way to his casino, he opened up, his employees came and all was back to normal. But then a Bearian security guard came.

Security Guard - "Ahem... Are you Benjamud?"

Benjamud - "Yes I am."

Security Guard - *Hands a letter* "This is for you, it's from the hospital you went to."

Benjamud - "Thank you."

The Security Guard left and Benjamud went into his office, he sat down in his chair and watched the news, nothing new. So he turned the TV off and looked at his letter. He then opened it. He then read it.

Letter - ''"
 * To Benjamud
 * From The Hospital

Dear Benjamud, we found out when your augmention will happen, it will happen tomorrow morning, at exactly 2400 Earth Hours. That's all you need to know."''

Benjamud - "That's great."

He then went to the lobby of his casino. Then he saw an Asgordian, she was looking for someone.

Asgordian - "Excuse me, are you Benjamud?"

Customer - "No."

Asgordian - "Oh, sorry..."

Benjamud then came up to the Asgordian.

Benjamud - "Excuse me, I'm Benjamud, the owner of this casino."

Asgordian - "Oh, well... My name is Avexia."

Avexia - "Anyway, I'm Avexia, and this is Benjamud, the famous casino owner on the Halcyon. So anyway, how are you doing Benjamud?"

Benjamud - "Well, I'm good, how about you?"

Avexia - "I'm good too."

1 Earth Hour Later...

Avexia - "Well, thank you Benjamud, for spending your time with us. This is Avexia signing off."

Avexia - "Thank you Benjamud, see you later!!!"

Benjamud - "See you later Avexia."

Then Axevia left, after Benjamud started watching the TV in his office.

7 Earth Hours Later...

It was closing time, his employees counted the money and then went home. Then Benjamud closed down the casino and left. He hopped into his car and drove to his apartment, he then unlocked his door, he got changed and then drank some wine and then went to sleep again.

Ri'Kar'D

 * Writer: Spriggs077
 * Character: Ri'So'Va Cdr. Ri'Kar'D

Warning for Avexia
Avexia's communicator beeped "Diplomat Trainee Avexia, report to the Fordan Command Post as soon as possible."

Ri'Kar'D was simply furious. The stupid Asgord had gotten in his way so many times, he was thinking of throwing her in jail himself. It was fortunate that Ri'Kar'D had Fordans monitoring every possible escape route from the prison, or else the Metabot might escape again. If that happened, the Asgord was going to be held completely accountable for his actions as an accessory to escape, potentially murder. As it stood, Ri'Kar'D already had grounds to arrest her, since she had already facilitated the escape of a known convict. For the while, Ri'Kar'D was willing to let his anger simmer just beneath the surface, stoking it into a hot bed of coals that could flare up on his command. He flicked on the security monitor on his desk as he observed Avexia talking to Benjamud.

As Avexia walked in, Ri'Kar'D offered her a chair. The sheer amount of annoyance she had caused was no reason to bypass courtesy, after all. As soon as she was seated, Ri'Kar'D started to speak.

"From that look, I assume you don't know why you have been summoned here. Let me *cough* 'fill you in.' This is a security recording of the prisoner Samedi's cell."

Avexia watched on Ri'Kar'D's computer as he replayed the recording of her taking off Samedi's containment ring.

''"Do you have any idea as to what you are doing? That robot is in confinement because he is a murderer. In case you're too slow to comprehend the significance of this, you are now a proven associate to the escape of a known convict. What that means, is that if I wished it, you would be leaving this building in chains. As it stands, I am feeling merciful. I know that your race has a certain outlook that drives you to such foolishness, and so I am willing to offer you a chance. As it is I have ordered a new containment ring for the metabot, so the damage you have caused is minimal. As such, your punishment shall also be minimal. I am placing a ban preventing you from entering the containment block again. I am doing this not only for your own good, but for the good of the people of this station. Now, I would prefer to leave it at that, and forget about what is otherwise a minor breach of code, but be warned, should you provoke me again I will not hesitate to arrest you. That is all."''

Ri'Kar'D stood as Avexia got up to leave. He knew the Asgord was going to be trouble, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor girl. He sat back down and poured himself a drink, as he thought about home. "Ugh... Damnation... She was right after all..." Ri'Kar'D's warriors had no idea who he was talking about, but they were fairly sure it wasn't Avexia.

Katarina

 * Character: Katarina

A Serious Case of the Willies
Katarina settled into her seat. Meanwhile, her friends Marina and Summer took their seats next to her. It was time for Saturday Night Live.

While her two friends laughed at the political satire, Katarina was very nervous. Xigor had intricately explained the plan in great detail. She would have to fly out of the safety of the station. Out there, she would have to cool the Quantumhorde to an extreme temperature, collect a specimen, and quickly return to the station before the Horde reheated. It seemed simple enough. But everyone involved with the project knew it would be much more difficult in action.

On the Weekend Update segment, the newscaster began poking fun at the Quantumhorde.

"Last week, the Nanohorde were rumored to have returned as the Quantumhorde. It is said to be even more powerful than before," the newscaster said. "So, everyone, looks like we're cutting the military fund to fight things we can't even see." Marina and Summer burst into laughter. The studio audience was cracking up.

"It is said that the DCP may be put on trial for unleashing the Nanohorde," the newscaster announced. "So...you're welcome." Everyone was in hysterical laughter. Except for Katarina.

They don't know. Katarina thought. ''They don't know the magnitude of all of this. Now they are making fun of it, reveling in their ignorance.'' No one could find out about this. Xigor had ordered her to keep silent. Any slip would cause widespread panic. She had been entrusted with confidential SSA information. No one, not even the TIAF government could find out about anything.

Tommorow would be the day she would begin her mission. She tried to forget about the Quantumhorde and enjoy the rest of the show. If I'm going to get killed tommorow, Katarina thought. I might as well enjoy my life before I lose it.

Avexia

 * Writer: Irskaad
 * Character: DT Avexia

Visiting the Casino
Avexia entered the casino, looking for Benjamud IV. She noticed a small being that looked like a bearian, she asked him if he was Benjamud IV, but he wasn't. Avexia kept going before she noticed a huge bearian right in front of her.

Avexia - "Woah! Are you Benjamud IV?" Benjamud IV - "Yes, we bearians grew in size recently." Avexia - "So, how are you?" Benjamud IV - "I am good. How about you?" Avexia - "I am good too." *Hugs the bearian* "Aren't you just cute?" Benjamud IV - "Yes, indeed, now let me go." Avexia - *Lets go* "So, how have you folks been doing since the destruction of reach?" Benjamud IV - "We built a new planet - Reach II."

... 55 Minutes Later ...

Avexia - "I'm glad you find the Kraw in Tantalus awesome. My classmate is there in Training." Benjamud IV - "Cool." Avexia - "So, Now that you guys are big, what are you pl-"

Avexia's Transmitter beeped, she answered it.

Ri'Kar'D - "Diplomat Trainee Avexia, report to the Fordan Command Post as soon as possible." Avexia - "Yay! Ok!"

She talks to Benjamud IV.

Avexia - "Thank you for spending your time with me, bye!" Benjamud IV - "Goodbye, Avexia!"

She then left to the Fordan Command Post, thinking that she is going to be told something nice. She didn't leave without asking someone where it was. She then left, unaware of what was to come.

She walked there, singing the theme song of Secret Story Kraw Galaxy. Taxia came on her camera and said:

Taxia - "This is your chance, ask his race for help with our recovery from the Xhodocto attacks!" Avexia - "Will do!"

Avexia entered, and Ri'Kar'D showed her to where they would talk. Avexia tried to ask her question, but she was uncapable, as the Fordan was angry. He said:

Ri'Kar'D - "From that look, I assume you don't know why you have been summoned here. Let me *cough* 'fill you in.' This is a security recording of the prisoner Samedi's cell." Avexia - "Samedi, you mean that cute Metabot?"

She was then showed a video of what she did to him, removing his containment ring.

Avexia - "Awww, that's me! And that's the cute Metabot I saw. His empire treated him cruely. Oh, and this floating camera is Taxia, my teacher." Ri'Kar'D - ''"Do you have any idea as to what you are doing? That robot is in confindment because he is a murderer. In case you're too slow to comprehend the significance of this, you are now a proven associate to the escape of a known convict. What that means, is that if I wished it, you would be leaving this building in chains. As it stands, I am feeling merciful.

Now, I would prefer to leave it at that, and forget about what is otherwise a minor breach of code, but be warned, should you provoke me again I will not hesitate to arrest you. That is all." Avexia - "That was a Hospital, I didn't know it was a prison! And I didn't know he was a murderer! How am I supposed to know these things? All I'm doing is Talking to aliens and making them happy for the FRA. I'll give you a tip - If you want to correct samedi, don't put him in a prison - He's a robot! He has a hard drive, just make him nice from there! Assuming you know 12th Grade Programming, of course." Ri'Kar'D - "Whatever. Just go."''

She left the center, somewhat disturbed, and Taxia appeared.

Taxia - "... ... That was odd. Hospitals are prisons here? What's next? People drinking food here? I am shocked. Avexia, you have a full pardon from me because this was an unexpected event. Now, don't go near "Saturday", unless he visits you. Also, I'm changing your return date: It's 1 week earlier. You will return to the FRA in 7 Days. You will do the rest of your training in Terkom. I'm crossing Station Halcyon from our list of Training places. Now, if you get arrested, don't worry - The Kraw Galaxy is on your side." Avexia - "I'm glad you support me." Taxia - "Forget asking the Fordans to help us - Ask the bearians instead. But before that, get some rest." Avexia - "Allright, Bye!"

She left back to her home, and she cried, because she no longer felt at ease in the station. She wanted to return to her Galaxy, where everyone knew her race.

Xigor

 * Writer:Wormulon
 * Chracter:Xigor

Xigor was cleaning is instruments in the lab. He soon realized - unintentionally - he was cleaning the same equipment over and over again. He sighed, and felt the bitter taste of guilt. Poor Katarina, what had he condemmed her to do? It felt wrong, but he knew, someone had to collect the Horde. AI's could get things wrong, this is why an organic had to do it. But then, he rem,embered all the destruction the Horde had caused, the needs of many, outweight the needs of the few. He would have done it, but he was the only guy who had a workable solution. The entire universe, perhaps, now rested on him and Katarina.

= Part 2 = A very brave person is dispatched to fetch the Quantumhorde, but an unknown enemy strikes just after (note: if you are still editing part 1 please continue).

Unknown Character

 * Creator: R17rFunny
 * Character: ???

Preparing for movement
An unknown Alien was walking, walking, and walking, until He reached the Main Control Room of, well, some place, He sat on a Chair, and saw Command Controls and Consoles activating, He was now, now only waiting for another Alien to go to there, and He did came.

Unknown Alien 1 - (Ah, I was expecting You, so tell Me, what is the Status?)

Unknown Alien 2 - (The preparations are Complete Fleet Commander, Our long-range "Space Fold" Warp Gates are fully Charged, now all We need is the Destination)

Unknown Alien 1 - (Excellent, just Wonderful, now I shall plot the Course and stuff like that.)

A Hologram Digital Display Device activated on the Alien's Console, and it showed what looked like a Map, He zoomed it out and zoomed it out and zoomed it in and so on until it displayed a Map of what appears to be, well, a Star System, one of the Planets that was shown is a Gas Giant with a Station near it, alongside fleets of Strange looking Ships, He pressed a Button next to some Alien Writing, that probably might have said "Confirm Destination" and then a Computer Voice spoke.

Computer - (Destination Confirming, are You sure You want to continue?)

Unknown Alien 1 - (The answer should be obvious in this One, YES!)

Computer - (Destination selected and confirmed, "Folding Space" Teleport Warp Gates charging)

Unknown Alien 1 - (Good, now all I have to do is- )

Unknown Alien 2 - (Get to Your Ship?)

Unknown Alien 1 - (YES OF COURSE IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS! NOW GET TO THE SPACESHIPS!)

The two Aliens were now walking, towards their Ships, and did get there, the Commanding Alien soon was sitting on another Chair, with Consoles and Command Controls activating in front of Him, His Ship, alongside other Ships now went to the activated Teleport Gates, each Ship that entered the Buildings glowed and disappeared in a Flash of light, being sent to their Destination via Teleport, one by one, until all of them have arrived.

Computer - (Teleport Complete, now at Destination)

Unknown Alien 1 - (Good, We have arrived at the edge of the System, FLEET! ACTIVATE CLOAKING DEVICES! THEY MUST NOT EXPECT US!)

Unknown Aliens - (AFFIRMATIVE!)

''At the same time, simultaneously, Each Ship seemed to have disappeared into Space, but no, they are Cloaked, and Invisible, now the Aliens are preparing their Move, Who are they? I don't know, nobody knows, what could they do next? Nobody knows, at least nobody knows yet of them and what they shall do next... until what will happen soon... ''
