Greed [ 1 ]

[ Investigation ]

As I get closer to the Core harvester, I notice debris floating. With ice forming around them. It's amazing that a star can all of a sudden, go dark.

The corpses of the employees who used to be stationed here, are floating. Some of them succumbed to the harsh conditions. Most are burned. Some are frozen after having their flesh suffer severe  burns.

Strange....

Burns?? This close to the Core????

They should've been obliterated. Weird....

I see the landing docks, I'll investigate further inside.

I board the station's landing dock. Seems like everything has been burnt to a crisp. The metal used to build this station is all black. I see nothing salvageable.

The smell.

Almost like if you puke into a bag and let it sit in the sun for an entire week.

The feces and piss, of the mangled and disfigured corpses. It smells worse. Being this close.

I find it strange that they're still here.

I thought the blast would've destroyed everything in this station.

There has to be something.

Something else went down here!

Something strange....

I head further inside, going up stairs to enter a long corridor. All black. The only reason why I could see, was because of my "illuminating powers."

As I was walking I notice a room. It was built with a specific type of metal known as "Lydium" it's a rare metal,usually only used for emergency bunkers. Since it's durability is strong enough to withstand a full blast from a weapon made from a galaxy's core.

This must've been the backup server room. containing information, in the computers I found that an emergency data backup was programmed. If I'm able to turn this on I might be able to learn more.

Okay!

I managed to turn it on. But it doesn't seem like it'll last long. I'll save a copy to my flash drive, about whatever I'll find.

What.....the...absolute....fuck.

From what I can gather, this place wasn't just trying to harness energy. They were trying to weaponized the core's energy, trying to imbue it into...what????

A living thing???

What? That's a fools task. A core of a galaxy energy is comparable to The Leader Of The Entity Holders. Or The Dark Matter Manipulators' queen.

If they're really trying to make a being capable of harnessing the core. That would explain the broadcast. The Burnt corpses. And the fact that there's still corpses and debris.

Looks like it didn't end up all happy and dandy. Didn't it?

Seems like they had stages to how much they can imbue a being.....

4 stages.

Interesting.

Only 1 being was capable. Of taking it all.

"Patient~1118"

But it took a lot, countless experiments. Time, Sweat, and Blood. Was poured into this.

Too bad seems like everyone here got fried to a crisp. All I can do now is take what they've done. It will surely help us in the war.

Such a shame "Patient~1118" is probably dead.

Who else could've blown up an entire galaxy.

Seems like "it" couldn't help control its power.

All I can do now is salvage the remnants of the "Core Extractor."

I exited the server room and headed towards the end of the hall, where the elevator looks to be. The basement is where they would keep The Core Extractor.

As I enter the elevator, I thought about how the explosion could've happen.

*Elevator closes*

{ Floor 6 }

They started experimenting with life itself, they probably deserved what happened.

{ Floor 5 }

But the Patients didn't. Most of them were criminals. But...

Even they didn't deserve a fate so cruel.

{ Floor 4 }

I would know.....

I also had to go through a lot.....

To get to where I am...

{ Floor 3 }

Look at me. Haha....

Sympathizing with criminals.

How unlike me...

{ Floor 2 }

I wonder what kind of person "patient~1118"

Was.....

{ Floor 1 }

Well, a brat couldn't have done any good with that kind of powers, anyways.

{ Floor B }

No use, wondering about it now. Time to focus on the mission.

"Exterminate any survivors and Bring back the Core Extractor"

* Elevator Door Opens*
