Verganos: "Query. Ever wondered why I let the Doctor create the overmind? Explanation. Everything that I though and/or created during my lifetime as been downloaded to this computer. Everything our ancestor have done before us is inside it."
His chest closed as the long cable returned to a hole in the wall.
Verganos: "Statement. The robots that you have seen everywhere here are connected to it. Millions of different bodies but one mind to control them all."
He then turned to the only window in the room, looking at Zerkan 1 barren ground.
Verganos: "Query.What difference could their death make in the vast cosmos? Statement. I must warn you that I'll make every sacrifice in order to prevent anything like what happened before you were even created as a prototype. This planet is the living example of what could have happened..."

Wait, what? Vexus thought. He doesn't even care if the entire Cluster is destroyed? No wonder they locked him up in that comet! And now he's free again. This is bad. This is very very bad.
"Oh? What happened, exactly?" she asked.

Verganos: "Statement. It happened a long time ago... I was a young cluster prince... They attacked us... They tried to enslave us... They destroyed everything I loved... They gave me this body. They transformed me, destroying everything in the process... I alone escaped,returning to the remnants of the Cluster... I rebuilt our people, created the mighty empire and took vengeance upon them. I terminated them... I destroyed their world like they destroyed mine. Zerkan 1 is but one of the planet that were stripped of life by them..."
The Ex-Cluster then sat on his chair.
Verganos: "Statement. But this is something you cannot understand. The idea that millions of life vanished at the same time. The *Sunaeters..."
*((Note:This is translated from the old clusterian language which was used before Verganos took the throne. With the doctor, he's the only remaining robot who can speak it clearly.))

"That is indeed a tragedy, but... the humans don't pose nearly the same threat to our people. Even if they wanted to destroy the Cluster, which as far as I know they do not, they simply don't have the resources to do it."

Verganos: "Statement. Not yet. Query. But can't you see the danger of their rapid advance in technology? Statement. They can already travel to Cluster prime within hours. By simply arming vessels and engaging open combat they could become, within mere centuries, a real threat to us. Query. With millions of this XJ-9 unit couldn't they overcome the cluster pretty easily?"
He then looked at his missing right hand.
Verganos: "Statement. I saw a robot that could fire ice beams, shoot missiles and use a plasma sword. He didn't have much experience yet he could holds his ground against me. Query . Should I wait patiently until they find us and transform us into scrap metal? Statement. I wasn't revived to become part of a pile of trash, trying to survive under humans as a machine!"

"I understand that," Vexus said. "I understand your concern. But I still say it's unfounded. Yes, their technological progress is staggering. But they are far too petty and hateful to make good use of it. They fear each other more than they fear any of us. They would never trust one of their own with power over millions, thousands, or even tens of XJ-9's. Which is why they will never build up the strength to challenge us." She paused for a moment. "Already, they have the tools to conquer other worlds, yet they remain confined to their home planet. Do you think that's a coincidence?"

Verganos: "Statement. They built the almighty armagedroid, a machine with huge military capacity. If you are too blinded by emotions to see that, then your usefulness as a ruler has already reached it's limits. No wonder you were ejected from Cluster!"
The robot then reached a phone on the nearest wall and pressed a series of buttons.
Verganos: "Order. Send me Zarkan and the Doctor to the royal chamber, immediately."
Closing the communication system, the black machine turned back to Vexus.
Verganos: "Query. Why are we even having this conversation in the first place? Explanation. We are on a schedule on the project E.N.D.E.R. Statement. You may return to your room..."

Vexus shook her head. "You say I'm blinded by emotion. Yet you've admitted that you're being driven by grief and fear. Grief for a long-dead world. Fear of a long-dead enemy. I've studied these humans. I know their capabilities. Armagedroid only proves my point: once it had driven off our invasion, it turned against them. Their military technology is, without exception, more dangerous to themselves than to us."
She started walking out of Verganos' chambers. "But if you won't listen to reason, I suppose I can't stop you. I just hope the rest of the Cluster isn't made to suffer for your foolishness."

The door closed behind Vexus. Verganos was alone.
Verganos: "Statement...more dangerous to themselves than to us..."

Once she had left the room, Vexus detached her phone from her ear. "I may as well let my subjects know about this disaster." She looked at the phone's screen. "No signal. Of course. Why build a subspace relay on a supposedly abandoned planet? Good thing my ship has one." She walked down to the royal hangar, where one of her drones was guarding her personal cruiser. "Hello, pilot. Could you activate the subspace relay for a moment? I need to make a call."
The drone nodded. "Right away, Your Majesty." He scurried inside the ship. After a few seconds, he called out, "Okay, it should be ready."
Vexus glanced at her phone again. Signal at 85%. That should be sufficient. And I have a message! She pushed a button to access her voice mail.
"You have one new message. Message one:"
"Hi, Your Majesty. This is Gene. Listen, um..."
She waited patiently while the rest of the message played out. "Oh, Mr. Wright, if only you knew what was ahead," she said to herself once the message was finished.

Aurelius then remembered something...Something really important.
"Oh no..."
He then turned rapidly to Alex.
"You remember that Blueberry had an injury right? I think it was made by Champ sword! If he injured him... Knowing Blueberry, anyone who injure him gets a one way ticket to the hospital..."
He was really angry that he hadn't realized this fact before.
Blueberry always want to fight anybody, even if the latter can't throw a giant rock back at him. Put him in the middle of a town and you get a plain disaster on your hand.
"Can you contact him via some sort of communicator?"

((OOC: Just to say that I'm still active and so is this RP. The plot is ready to move but without the roleplayers I can't really do anything. (If you are too busy, just PM me and I'll see what I can do about it.) ^_^))

"Yeah, sure, no problem. I'll warn him about Blueberry."
He got on the com-channels.
"Hey, Champ, you there? Did you recently get into a fight? Because apparently Aurelius knew him, and wants to warn you he'll be back. The guy's name was Blueberry, does that ring any bells?"

On the ship
Morlante talked to his companions:'' It's getting boring around here and night is near us... What do you say we go have fun in town?''
Blueberry replied:'' We're going to drink a lot, are we?''
Morlante:'' No problem with me! Hezo, you stay on the ship, you're too young to come!''
Hezo:'' But...''
Morlante:'' It's an order!''
Bluberry and Morlante knew where to go. After some time, they arrived in Tremorton and they decided to go to bar. There, they would drink enormous amounts of alcohol.
(OOC) When they go back on their ship, it's going to be the night. I just want to advance the story as much as I can and we need Verganos on Earth as fast so we can to finish the RP.
