Power Threatened?
During his time searching for the Marauder fleet, Victor had found a handful of worlds to taint with his virus. The various planets were bustling with Terrans, an excellent source of new hosts for the parasitic Viral race. Having bolstered his ranks, Victor would easily be able to take on the Marauder forces.
It was imperative that Victor find the Marauders before engaging the Terrans again. He had beaten the Terrans once, but next time would be different. The Terrans would not come unprepared for the next encounter; of this Victor was sure. In order to defeat the Terrans, Victor was going to need to incorporate some of the Marauder technology into his own. He had used this strategy to infect and capture Terran ships during the last battle. From these he had been quick to reverse engineer the photon class Thor destroyers that offered such effective long-range bombardment capability.
It had been a while since the Voice had spoken to Victor. He was just contemplating this absence when suddenly he began receiving the familiar migraines to which he had begun to grow accustomed by now.
“Victor.”
“Yes, master? I have been awaiting your presence.”
“Victor, I am always present. Do not forget this.”
“My apologies, master. What is it you would have me carry out for you?”
“I have a new task for you, Victor. After you destroy the Marauder fleet and secure a strong position in your current system, I want you to invade the Guardians’ home system of Neo Sanctis. The system is in the far corner of the next Sector. The Guardians hold the power to ending our growing horde. See to it that this threat is eliminated.”
