What: My harrowing survival and transformation
Why: To uncover the unknown and face new challenges
Actually Why: Iâm here, why not?
I wake up on board an alien ship, Iâd later learn many light years away from home. Weeks have passed, and what little I remember makes me glad that I donât recall the rest. Myself, and about twelve others, are the survivors of a series of ruthless experiments by Corti scientists, who aimed to discover the effects of humans to an anomalous artifact. Thatâs not a mistake, they werenât studying us, they were studying that thing.
You probably donât know what a Corti is. I didnât either, at the time. Short, gray skin, bulbous black eyes, massive craniums, zero sense of empathy, and almost as smart as they think they are. You get the idea.
During a sudden attack on the ship, a psychic voice directs us to escape. Another thing Iâd learn later, the voice belonged to Prism, a super-advanced AI able to communicate with us via our newly acquired nano-augmentations. These augmentations had been growing inside us as a result of the experiments.
The Corti were working for the Vex Empire, and we were being rescued by rebels calling themselves the Xaran Alliance. Prism being the leader of this alliance. They described the Vex Empire as evil, and I didnât really need much convincing. They asked for my help, and I felt right at home doing quests with interesting rewards. I was to undergo training at the hands of one Draco Knightslayer. I was already a fighter, but he turned me into a soldier. It was easy to just go with it, at some point along the way I convinced myself that this was just another game in the dreamscape.
Missions. Always missions. This time around Iâm a field operative instead of support. Go in, steal thing, get out. Go in, neutralize target, get out. Go in, protect a thing until backup arrives, get out.
One mission stands out. Emergency, all hands on deck. A Vex super weapon had appeared in-system of Neon, threatening to annihilate us all.
Right, explanations.
Neon was the Xaran Alliance capitol world, sort of. More like a massive space station that had grown over millennia to the size of a planet. Historically, Neon could perform a breach-jump to escape threats, but that took time. We didnât have time.
The Vex super weapon was a planet-busting laser, mounted to a station the size of a small moon. It was also escorted by an armada of capitol ships and their supporting fleets. New Mission: go in, blow up the station, get out. I recognized that station, it was the same one I and the others were experimented on in. Didnât matter though, I had a mission to do, and I succeeded, well, sort of. I didnât do the âget outâ part in time.
Obviously, I survived, otherwise I wouldnât be able to write this. At the time though, I along with everyone else were convinced I was dead. With the super weapon destroyed, the Xaran Alliance fleets routed the Vex Empireâs armada. I missed some details while I was busy being âdeadâ, but apparently the Vex Empire surrendered shortly thereafter, and the Long War was over.
âChaos 2â follows Glitch Daracova, thrust from his life on Terra into an intergalactic conflict between the oppressive Vex Empire and the rebellious Xaran Alliance. Through a combination of unforeseen circumstances, personal growth, and newfound powers, Glitch evolves from a victim of alien experimentation into a pivotal player in the galaxyâs fate.
The Psychic Voice:
During a Xaran attack on the Corti research station, Glitch and the other survivors were directed to escape by Prism, a super-advanced AI and leader of the Xaran Alliance.
First Contact:
After being rescued, Glitch learned of the Long War between the Vex Empire and the Xaran Alliance.
Training with Draco Knightslayer:
Glitch was assigned to Draco Knightslayer, a grizzled Xaran veteran, to hone his combat skills and prepare for field operations.
Field Operations:
Glitch quickly became a valuable field operative, undertaking high-stakes missions against the Vex Empire. These missions included:
The Vex Superweapon:
The turning point of the story came when the Vex Empire deployed a planet-busting laser mounted on a massive station. The station threatened the Neon system, home to the Xaran Allianceâs capitol worldâa vast space station grown to planetary size.
The Mission:
Glitch was part of the strike team sent to destroy the superweapon. The mission was a success, but Glitch failed to escape the blast radius in time.
The Unexpected Hero:
Glitch, a human with no prior knowledge of the galaxy, became an instrumental figure in the Xaran Allianceâs greatest victory.
A Pivotal Loss:
Glitchâs apparent death at the climax of the story added to his legend among the Xaran Alliance. For Prism, Draco, and the others who knew him personally, his sacrifice was both a rallying cry and a painful reminder of the cost of their struggle.
