Power Threatened?
Over the course of the days spent 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 should find the Marauders before engaging the Terrans again. He had beaten them 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 them, he was going to need to incorporate some of the Marauder technology into his own, just as he had taken some of the Terran ships in battle and used them to his own ends. |

99+ day(s) ago | 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 that he had began to grow accustomed to.
"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, 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 end our growing influence. See to it that this threat is eliminated."
"Yes, master. I shall leave none in my wake." |

99+ day(s) ago | This troubled Victor though. Despite his assurances to the Voice, Victor was uncertain about the coming battles with the Guardians. In his past life as a Terran, he had heard many stories of the Marauder-Guardian Wars and the devastation wrecked on both races. Those terrible stories told of the magnificent technology possessed by the Guardians. Their ships were second in grandeur only to those of the fabled race of Kal Zul, the Ancients who wielded unimaginable power and dominated the galaxy until their mysterious disappearance. It is even said that the Guardians possess some remnant technology left by the mysterious Kal Zul. The Voice seemed to sense Victor's troubled line of thought through their mind-bond.
"Victor, do not fret over the stories of your youth. The Guardian race is no match for our new wave of destruction. You will have the upper hand in this coming conflict, as the enemy will not be suspecting an attack."
"Yes, of course, master. You are correct, as always. I should not question your judgment. I will defeat the Guardians and our plague shall consume their worlds."
As Victor was finishing his discussion with the Voice, his attention was drawn to one of his Kohoutek scout vessels. Through the senses of his underling, he saw what appeared to be the form of a Marauder Piranha class frigate. The Marauders were close by.
