Chapter 3: The silent guard

The journey through the night of the Ödland was devastating. The winding of the wind through the broken front panel cooled the interior of the cabin extreme. Kael had come down again, his face and his clothes were sprayed with ash-colored mud and the blue liquid of the drones, but he looked unharmed. He sat vigilant on the passenger seat, the rifle on his knees, the green eyes stared in the endless darkness before us. “That was not a relic of the Old World,” Kael finally broke the silence. ‘That was Evolution. A combination of biology and machine code, which Consortium must have been created.” “A virus that has manifested itself physically,” Silas murmured thoughtfully, which The face of the weak blue light of his pad illuminates. “And it was hungry. It has no technology collected, it consumed it.” “I hope that Bunker Theta has enough thick doors to get this thing to keep outside,” I said and wrapped the steering wheel tighter. The terrain before us changed. The flat ash

Chapter 17: The Forge of the Gods

The consortium had no time. They knew the ultimate weapon – and control over the whole world – would slide through the fingers if it did not immediately. “How long have we been until they break through?” I cried over the noise and ran to one of the holographic terminals. My fingers flew over the stranger, but intuitive interface. “Structural integrity of the outer rock layer at forty percent. Estimated Breakthrough in less than fifteen minutes,” reported the AI. Kael stood completely quiet in the middle of the room. The flickering light of the hologram reflected in his green eyes. He was no longer the cured animal from the Cells of Omega. Here, in the command center of his father, in the armor of the Old world, he was the absolute strategist. ‘System, status of internal defence and armament Alpha-Eins’, ordered he. “Waffenkammer intact. External defenses damaged, but manual It is possible to bridge.” One of the smooth wall panels glitts aside with a r

Chapter 4: The heart of ice

My breaths turned into dense white clouds as soon as we reach the threshold crossed by Bunker Theta. The temperature drop was so extreme that within seconds a fine Layer of roughness on the run of my kinetic rifle. The light of our portable torches cut through a darkness that felt almost massive. Our Steps on the smooth, black carbonium floor echoed unnaturally loudly. Kael went ahead, his massive body planted through the icy air. The kinetic suit the Old World regulated its body temperature, but I felt the cold without mercy through my thick leather jacket cracked. Silas trembled beside me, Diagnosis pad pressed tightly to the chest while Nova her weapon nervously from one dark corner swung into the other. “There are no corridors here,” Silas whispered, and his teeth whispered audible. ‘It is only one gigantic hall.” He was right. When our beams reached the walls, we saw that sheer Dimensions of Theta. There were no residential quarters, no medical stations, no hydropo

Chapter 5: The frozen world

The cold in Bunker Theta was cutting. Without the thermodynamic inverter in the Center began the huge ice columns of the Ark slowly, almost imperceptibly warm up, but the hall was still ice cold. “The temperature rises by 0.1 degrees per minute,” Silas murmured, his face pale before cold, while he stared at his flickering pad. “Theta can serve the DNA keep stable for about four days. Then the great baptism begins.” “Until then we must have stabilized the climate in this sector,” said Kael. He the hands rubbed together and breathed deeply, forming a dense white cloud. I leaned on my knees, the adrenaline rush ebbed off and left me exhausted back. The ice crystals of the fragmented biomechanics were crumbling among my Boots. “We lost the Rover,” I said and saw the closed, massive Carbonium tars. “Even if we open the doors again... the cold wave has everything caught out there. The steel lungs are likely to be a massive ice block frozen. The steam boilers are burst.” Nova

Chapter 6: The avalanche of glass

The assistant commander did not hesitate. The rotating cannon on his arm buzzed up, but the light that gathered in its course was not the clean, grelle blue of consortium. It was a nasty, deep black violet that like liquid darkness looked out. “Decking!” Kael shouted. He threw himself with his whole massive flank against me and Silas and ripped us on the hard stone of the rocky projection, seconds before the weapon was fired. The shot was adorable. The black plasma charge hit right there the rock wall, where we had still confessed an eyelash. The Stone did not just explode – he slept and slept while the corrosive energy Stone like wax dissolved. A biting, toxic stench rose. “That’s not raw energy!” Silas cuddled while he took the dust from the glasses I know. He stared at the melting hole in the rock. “This is a hyper-etching bio- Plasma! When this happens to you, it will burn you through to the bones!" I saw the edge. The commander stabbed by the ice, black substance d

Chapter 7: The Iron Forge

The repair of the steel coils became a smashing struggle against the Elements. The canyon was a freezer in which the temperatures rose only slowly. The violet sky of the Ödland offered hardly warming sun rays, and the Wind whipped through the rugged rocks, cut like invisible glass through our clothes. But cold was only another problem for a scrap collector from sector 4 which had to be solved. We hit our provisional camp right at the foot of the frozen rovers. Kael had a cave from the ruined ice blocks with his massive fists that protected us from the sharpest wind. Loderte in the middle of the ice cave a tireless, hot fire, nourished by the flammable, oily Insulation layers I made of the dead drones and the ranks of the creature had cut. “Leave me the cutting torch, Nova,” I said, my voice was horny from continuous inhalation of the soot air. Nova wrapped in a thick blanket improvised from furs and insulation mats was, slipped to me on my knees and handed me the heav

Chapter 9: The iron sound of Omega

The mud leviathan hit us like a crashed comet. A wave boiling, acidic moost clapped against the repaired front panel of the steel lungs and immediately took every view. The entire cockpit trembled as the innumerable, soundproofed polymer legs of the creature scratched over the roof. “He’s over us!” Nova cried through the observational canopy. A Metallic circle followed – the beast tried to make the pulpit like a nut crack. “Jada, keep us on track!” Cael shouted. He released his belt, pushed me on the Driver's seat and packed his heavy kinetic rifle in the same breath. “No matter what do not leave the gas!” I wrapped the wooden steering wheel, ripped the lever for the windshield wiper around, but the scorched sulfur-oil mixture only smeared more. I went blind. I only felt the raw power of the motors that were against the tons heavy Weight of the beast. The advertisements of the kinetic batteries are threatening. Kael pulled up the ceiling hatch and pulled up with a set. T

Chapter 10: The breeding ground of the swarm

We put the Rover in the shadow of a crashed outside wall. Engines quietly wounded and tumulted. After the Weeks of the Adoration Engine noises felt the silence from the walls of Omega almost unnatural. It was the silence before an execution. We checked our equipment one last time. I packed my tool backpack firmer, put me three fresh thermit loads in the Belt pockets and checked the hold of my kinetic pistol. Silas trembling, holding his diagnosis pad, however, clasps like a shield. Nova had a strand her hair from the face and crisp with her fingers. We entered the complex through a huge gate torn out of the fishing. The inside of Omega was the hell of any machine. The corridors were wide, high and consisted of naked, gray concrete, but the walls were almost completely deteriorated from infection. Thick cable strands hung like lilies of the ceiling, flowed through a weak red light. Everywhere on Soil lay the remains of old consortium robots and purifier setups – they wer

Chapter 11: The division of the Federal

“Kael, no!” I cried as the first capsule’s tank glass with a ear-powdering Klirren completely barst. The boiling, black nutrient liquid swept over my boots, while the first faceless creature in the room stepped. The red light in its Visor flash fixed us instantly. Kael started the creature at the same moment. He rammed his massive body into the Clone, before he could lift his plasma blade. The filthy, fleshy Wumms of the impact echoed from the concrete walls. “Go, Jada!” Cael cried over his shoulder. His black claws dug deep into the artificial polymer of its image. His muscles started like thick dew out of his arms. “Take Silas and bring this damn distributor down! I will hold them up here!" “I’m staying with him!” Nova called and invited her kinetic rifle with a hard Klack through. She stood wide-legged next to Kael, the eye stuck on the visor, while two more capsules got cracks. “You have the calculator job, we do the Clean scrap!” My heart hammered to my neck. Every

Chapter 12: Thermit Resonance

Fifteen seconds. The nest of red sensor eyes of the guard fixed me with an ice cold, mechanical precision. The two-edged plasma blade in his hand hummed louder and cut a hate-filled white into the dark purple of the hall. He raised Weapon for the final vertical bump, which should shoot me on the ground. I didn't have time to lift the heavy hammer. My Survival instinct, sharpened in the roughest corners of sector 4, took over full control. I grabbed my belt bag blindly with the left hand and got the cool, metal ball of a thermit bearing. Instead of the regular timer activate, I ripped off the safety cap with the teeth and hit the load directly against the massive carbon steel shaft of my suggestion hammer, which I like held a shield over my chest. Klirr. The mechanical igniter of the charge sparked. In the same breath Plasma blade of the guard down. I didn't parody the warrior's flesh. I blocked the white energy with the raw Chemistry. The blade hit the thermit charge
