    About this ebook

    There was something out there at the centre of the conspiracy, but no one knew of its existence.
    It posed a grave threat, and once discovered it had to be neutralised.
    But, could that be done, before it was too late...

      I was very close to both of my parents who were my best friends, and I have lost count of the number of happy times we shared, and all of the creativity and laughter. Like my beloved father Joe, my mother Margaret was so special, and my total inspiration. I would therefore like to dedicate this book to their memory.

      Epilogue

      We could never even imagine a universe that did not contain observers (us)...

      Because the very building blocks of the universe, are the acts of (us) observing the universe.

      John Wheeler

      Introduction

      Captain Bjorn Blonqvist, know to his friends as Bear, due to his enormous size, sat alone in his cargo hauler watching and waiting. It had been several years since he had retired from the Titan Super Soldiers, and life had been good. Travelling from one system to another gave him plenty of time to relax, but not today.

      He must admit that he had seen so many worlds on his travels, only this time he was able to appreciate them. It had been hard, always training and preparing for dangerous missions, some of which he had been lucky to survive, even though there was always a Replicant body ready and waiting for him.

      The whole process of chopping and changing, never altering his outward appearance was not the bad part, it was the mental upheaval that he had finally succumbed to. Yes, he did miss the camaraderie, but not the stress that came with it.

      Bear had enjoyed a quiet retirement, until the encrypted message he had received yesterday...

      One

      Stealth field engaged!

      Supreme Commander Vilgot Bodil pulled hard on the controls as his shuttle craft lifted off the landing pad, just missing the security shuttle that was parked next to him. He was going to have to use all of his piloting skills to get away, as an alarm sounded within the Royal Palace.

      Next to him, Gaia's engines spluttered into life, as the liquid mercury plasma engine fired up the magnetic field disrupter. An electrical current soon flowed with enough charge to counteract the ship's mass.

      Somewhat different from the Commander's shuttle, which had the more traditional ion engines, electrons flowed from the negatively charged electrical plate at the base of a craft, towards the ball of positive charge at the top. A shimmering haze indicated that the whirlpool field was now active, and she had gravitational thrust.

      Starfield was still in a daze, standing on the other side of the main control room. His moon glass shell was scared by laser pulses, but they were nothing compared to the ones in his mind.

      The subtle movement of the anti-gravity drive passed by unnoticed, as he stared out blankly.

      Incoming security shuttle!

      Gaia's voice sounded hesitant, fearful.

      Ren was also in a daze, doing her best to get them into the air. She was slowly getting used to the strange operating system, but could still do with some help.

      Starfield!

      The Holo Droid remained stationary.

      Starfield, I need you!

      He needed therapy!

      Oh Flux!

      Ren swore as the security shuttle opened fire.

      I need weapons!

      She watched the Commander's ship breaking away, trying to draw them off her.

      A bright flash and a dull thud rattled the ship, as Gaia took a direct hit. Fortunately, Ren had managed to raise shields, but her mind could not cope with anything else.

      On the main screen, she could see her uncle Vil firing back at the purusing vessel, as another bright flash of light erupted in the sky. This time it was the Palace's defenses, and his shuttle took a direct hit.

      Ren knew that it would not take many more before the shield started to fail, and she simply had to do something!

      Flux!

      They were gaining in height, rocking violently from side to side, although that was more to do with her piloting skills than taking evasive action.

      The black security shuttle caught them again, weakening their shield, as it took a direct hit from the Commander's laser cannon.

      Follow me, and try to keep up!

      Vilgot's voice rang in her ears, as she did her best to follow. Ren was not much of a pilot, especially having an experimental craft.

      I will do my best!

      Another shot hit them, and she began to realise that her best was not going to be good enough!

      Both craft shot up into the sky, with their pursuer hot on their heals.

      I can't shake it off!

      Ren's voice had more than a little desperation in it.

      Shield down to 63%.

      Another pulse hit them, this time from the ground.

      52%.

      Gaia was suffering too!"

      43% and falling!

      That did not sound good, and Ren had to do something.

      31%.

      The countdown to destruction continued!

      More shots flashed both up from the ground and from the pursuing craft, as the Commander fired back.

      Serenity, you have to do something as I can't hold them off for much longer!

      Vilgot's voice now sounded desperate.

      Ren looked at the Holo Droid again, and cried out in desperation.

      Starfield!

      Still there was no response as yet another pulse hit them significantly weakening their shield.

      Starfield!

      Ren shouted as loudly as she could, before holding her breath, as they were engulfed
