Legacy -Tales of the Altverse- Prologue (part 2)

Prologue Part 2 "Whispers from a distant past..."
Date: January 11th 2760 Location: Planet AL31905-B "Cirus"
USGDF Slipspace Monitoring Center


Today is a bad day
a woman thought with annoyance

"have we comfirmed it yet?"
the woman, who was clad in an Army Officer RIA, asked a certain man wearing the Intelligence Division RIA.

"althought I´'m not so sure, the sensors have picked up faint leftover radiation signals that match those of their   slipspace modules, there is no doubt about that fact, 'THEY' have made a move"

the woman forwned and spoke in an enraged tone

"Did we catch any reentry signals from slipspace? any other activities?"

the scientist answered in a rather nonchalant tone

"no, 'they' have absolutely vanished, there isn't a single trace of them returning from slipspace"

a heavy atmosphere surrounds both people as the ones near them appear to be very nervous

a voice is suddenly heard from the left

"Chief! we have an incoming transmission from slipspace, unknown source! (what?!) is audio only, and heavily disorted! give us some time to syntonize with it!"

the man adressed as chief starts to quickly type commands in the computer in front of him

"I leave it  in your care, professor, then, Captain, does this answer if 'they' had made any other moves?"

The woman sighed "yes, a rather bad answer"

another voice was heard from acroos the room

"Captain! Chief! you must listen to this!"

The Captain answered with a similar surprised voice

"what is it?"

"you... you... are NOT going to belive this!"

the first sound the High quality Speakers made first was just static, but then it started becoming clear.

a message, no, by the way it sounded it was a TV broadcast, the female voice narrating was filled with fear...

"this is an exclusive live broadcast for ... *static* ... news that are shocking the entire world!... *static* in the *static* country!... a black Sun-like thing has appeared, we are aproximately 70 kilometers away and the wind reaches horrifying speed!, all civilians have apparently been evacuated!, but what in the world is that thing?! i repeat, this is *static* for *static* news! today, October  2*static* 20*static*  an enormous black sun has appeared!!..."

everyone in the room is shocked, still the captain's  voice is heard.

"Black sun? i never heard of such celestial event."

The Chief answers with some annoyance in his voice

"oh really? you know, captain, have you ever seen a spaceship going out of FTL?"

"of course. but what does it has to do with this"?

"if you had been born approximately six ana half centuries ago, what would had been the best way to picture that phemomenon?

"!!!"

"If this is really a broadcast from that time, it means that 'they' are attacking our very past to prevent us of existing, 'they' are smarter than we  thought..."

"Chief! detecting multiple slipspace reentry signals! frecuency matches that of Supercarriers! estimated forces...  300!"

"!!! Get High Command online, tell them the situation, and order a level 9 evacuation order!"

"Planetary evac?" the Captain talked with a tone filled with surprise as the other officer in the Comms center were making an uproar "Are you crazy? that is virtually impossible before they reach us!"

"i am not,Captain" the Chief Petty Officer " thats why we must give that order, i know we can't save everyone in Cirus, but at least the most of us can make it"

"Ghh..." the Captain could not refute the argument the Chief made

"Captain" a new voice was heard in that moment, it was an artificial, yet warm female voice came through the speaker installed in the golden-black gauntlet on her left arm "HQ gave you new orders (Tell me) You are to assist the evac of your current location, S-C963 is en-route to your location"

"That was a quick response, was HQ expecting this?... (Captain?) Oh, its nothing Mercy" the Captain could only wonder for a little while before she posed a question to the A.I. that was waiting for her answer "where are we evacuating to? i doubt there are enough ships for the almost 60,000 people that are living in Cirus"

"That is not a problem Captain (huh?) you and S-C963 are evacating all staff in your area to Hanger 39 in the Horus Port (Hours? isn't that where...) yes, the only hope for our survival is there"

a sudden silence invaded the room, everone who heard that stopped what they were doing in that moment, then the A.I. voice was heard again

"We are evacuating to the results of Project: LEGACY, we are going to the 'Trinity of Death"
