Story: The Hunt

The Seeker’s ship drifted low over the atmosphere of the prison planet. The pitiful defence systems of the Prison Guild would be of no use against his ship, they couldn’t even detect the beautifully crafted ship floating just a few kilos away. Initial scans of the Wanderer’s colossal ship reported no EDE activity, so, he must be planeside. However, the planet itself reported seven EDE signatures “Soon to make eight” thought the Seeker. As his ship lowered itself through the atmosphere, the Seeker sent a communication to Utopia II. Sitting in his office, the Director heard the running feet of the communications officer running through the halls towards his office “Archaic and inefficient” He thought “but necessary” as the communications officer handed him the secure uplink, he noted the distortion of the projection “What is this?” He asked the officer answered with a brisk “dunno” This might be more severe than he had thought. Stalking towards the nearest EDE signature, the Seeker felt the touch of one of his relatives, the Prince of Sorrows. Quickly sending a mental apology for his incursion, and politely asking where he could find his brother, the Seeker left, not caring for a banishment today. According to his cousin, the Wanderer was to be located in the largest prison-city of this grim planet. Stepping into the wilds for a few meters, The Seeker rematerialized inside a large clump of prisoners, misting several of them. The Prisoners reacted with fear, scattering as several long-legged cyborg guards strode towards them. Seeing that one had a flame caster, the Seeker turned his reality breaking powers against the pitiful humans, several cellblocks vanished from reality. Turning to see his quarry walking towards him he chuckled “subtlety was always our brother’s thing” “Should we want to take this to my ship, or should we let this planet die?” Asked the Wanderer. “I’m not here to banish you, I must work with the Imperium to keep Convergence secret” “so you want to take me to them?” “Yes” “well then, let us take my ship, I want to see their faces when they see a colossal ship appear inside their defences”
