āThe Angels sought to mimic what the Humans had made, and just like the Humans, they died for it.ā ~Skuemr from The Empire and Their Exploits
PoI 0773A-9258A. Many just call him the boogeyman. Or Baby Yaga. Or anything vaguely supernatural and superstitious, to be honest. Itās not because heās all powerful or all seeing or all anything, to be frank, heās just as powerful as a normal Angel. And thatās what scares so many of the soldiers, of the colonists, of the higher ups. A normal Angel, and yet heās wiped out entire Legions and armadas and fleets, heās destroyed countless systems in fits of insanity and rage. What fuels this monster? What did it do to earn such power, and why does it throw it around without a care in the world? And more importantly, how did we make such a beast?

Name: 0773A-9258A / Skuemr / [LV 5] Kuisonar-Avena [END]
Risk Classification: 4/5
Current Location: 0773A-01A5
Race: Angel & [DATA ERROR]
Age: Unconfirmed
Description: Heavily damaged Angel of at least eighty Cycles. [LV 10] Identified as Kusionar-Avena. Kuisonar-Avena is a powerful mage who possesses critical knowledge on Anchor technology, runestone travel, and reality alteration. Following capture at the Battle of Kul-An, Kuisonar-Avena was turned into an Angel by order of the Emperor and served the Empire for eighty-two Cycles. However, Kuisonar-Avena had broken free from the control collars used on itself, joined a rebellion consisting of similar Angels and went forth on a twenty year long killing spree in which they slaughtered 7.91t Imperial Personnel, 3.26t Coalition Personnel, and an unknown amount of colonists. [END]
At M5, Year 42000, Cycle 562, heavy pulses, attributed to soul magic were identified outside of 0323E. Reconnaissance groups identified the source as PoI 0773A-9258A. Five Legions were dispatched, identifying Subject and engaging on 0773A-01A5. Legions were repelled before being lured into a trap off-world. [LV 10] Subject did not engage in stated way, instead, Subject intentionally made itself insane and decimated any Imperial Personnel coming into contact with it. After fifty three rotations, Subject demanded that General Kar-On surrender over the course of an additional twenty rotations. When General Kar-On refused, Subject then captured a demigod and god battlion, and began using their power for further destruction. Once General Kar-On conceded, Subject demanded all Imperial Personnel to leave 0773A until General Kar-On's bloodline was erased. [END]Subject shows open hostility towards the Empire and remains a hostile and dangerous threat to Imperial operations around 0773A. Subject has been credited with the construction of at least one war fleet and a number of ships, weapons and technology designed for defense.
Following detection on 0773A-01A5 and engagements, General Marein was assigned to oversee 0773A operations. Subject was deemed too dangerous to face head on, and instead, General Marein initiated observation and analysis of Subject. Findings report that the Subject retains knowledge based around the Empire and appears to be preparing to hinder Imperial operations on a large scale through the creation and maintenance of multiple alliances spanning universes across 0773A. [LV 8] Subject has used ships to seek out and destroy Imperial outposts, listening posts, ports and colony bases. It is noted that Subject acts alone in these situations. [END]
There is little known about Subjectās interactions with native inhabitants of 0773A and immortals. Subject was given a high social rank within GoI 0773A-01A5 (Captain) and is credited with the construction of numerous public works projects. Furthermore, Subject is known to engage GoI 0773A-01A3-096C-012A with hostility similar to that of the Empire. Subject is also known to [DATA_ERROR]

OPENING...
The following are notes from an Imperial sanctioned analysis on PoI 0773A-9258A by a group of military personnel with extensive knowledge on the Angel race. To acquire formal documentation regarding PoI 0773A-9258A, consult document PoI 0773A-9258A.
PoI 0773A-9258A was located in the newest Cluster, as of writing, 0773A and identified on 0773A-01A5. Since then, it has become aware of Imperial observation, and maintains a high level of intelligence, showing proficiency in Imperial and Coalition shipbuilding, technology and Higher Classes of magic, to the point of earning classification as a Reality Bender. It also appears to be extremely hostile to any Imperial presence and extremely loyal to natives identified on at least one planet. It is noted that it refuses to use any power if presented with the opportunity to do so.
BEGIN COALITION ORDERS BY HIGH COUNCIL - [M2 YEAR 29850 CYCLE 480]
The Imperial held planet of Kul-An, Universe 4919L, Galaxy 0843V, Star 0780K is to be seized by Coalition forces in the Year 29850. Its universe shall follow. Among these forces, the Council requests nine legions worth of soldiers and ships, with accompanying supply ships and reserves.
RECOVERED ENTRIES FROM KUISONAR-AVENA - [M2 YEAR 29850 CYCLE 480]
Iām not sure whether to be surprised or disgusted by the Coalition. If youāre reading this, Iād rather not those Suits know I wrote that, otherwise theyāll throw me out the airlock without hesitation. Iām just here to get paid. Nine legions of ships is more than enough to take care of a single universe. Whatās one wizard?
BEGIN ANALYSIS⦠[DATE - M6 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
PoI 0773A-9258A (Otherwise known as āSkuemr,ā) closely resembles actions, mannerisms and general appearance to Kuisonar-Avena, a Turned mage who was confirmed to be at the Siege of Kul-An, Year 29850, Cycle 480 and conscripted into Imperial Elite Forces shortly after. It is currently unknown how PoI 0773A-9258A ended up at 0773A, as testing confirms that regardless of their true identity, (that being either Kuisonar-Avena or someone else,) that they bear genetic material similar to that of the biological race of Imperial Angels.
RECOVERED ENTRIES FROM KUISONAR-AVENA - [M3 YEAR 29850 CYCLE 480]
Theyāre everywhere, damnit. I donāt know how much time Iāve got until they find me, but the gunās useless and my magicās gone. Kul-Anās swarming with False Angels right now, but if I die, Iāll bring down this planet with me. Iāll get you all back, you fools. Long live the Coalition.
BEGIN ANALYSIS⦠[DATE - M6 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Kuisonar-Avena was found at Kul-An and underwent severe biological mutations and mutilations to become an Angel. Initial testing has shown that Kuisonar-Avena was far too disloyal to the Empire, often breaking many mind control technologies due to an unknown reason. Despite this, Kuisonar-Avena served in the Empire for at least twenty Cycles.
RECOVERED TESTING NOTES - [M13 YEAR 29850 CYCLE 480]
Subject shows hostility towards I[mperial] Person[n]el.
Unable to control.
Awaiting approval [of] experimental mind control tech.
TRANSCRIBED LOGS - [M13 YEAR 29850 CYCLE 480]
Let me free you bastards. You took my eyes, but you canāt take my mind. Try to control me, I dare you, try, try, Iāll let you try, for the fun of it! I dare you! laughing
EMERGENCY BROADCAST - [M01 YEAR 32008 CYCLE 513]
THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE. FLEET AMERIO HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.
LAST RECORDED LOCATION: [ERROR_RETRIEVING_DATA]
REASON: HEAVY LOSSES SUSTAINED BY ROUGE ANGEL. 80% OF SHIPS HAVE FALLEN. DO NOT SEEK US OUT.
BEGIN ANALYSIS⦠[DATE - M6 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Although never confirmed, it is believed that Kuisonar-Avena had broken free of the mind control due to unknown reasons and set forth on a relentless killing spree of up to twenty years, in which it is believed that insanity had fully taken over the Angel. After twenty years, Kuisonar-Avena had disappeared and was presumed dead from soul exhaustion, as is the most common death for an Angel. Approximately eleven thousand years later, PoI 0773A-9258A was sighted in 0773A. The rest of this document will be dedicated to the PoI, who will be referred to as Subject for convenience.
BEGIN CAPTAIN LOT-PANRāS EXPLORATION LOG - 0323E [DATE - M5 YEAR 42000 CYCLE 562]
There are reports of soul energy somewhere beyond 0323E. Personally, I think itās another like minded civilization in which they use souls as much as we. Suits, though, believe that weāve got a rogue Angel on our hands. Would be fun, to be honest.
BEGIN GENERAL KAR-ON LOGS - 0323E [DATE - M5 YEAR 42000 CYCLE 562]
Although the higher ups believe that the [Subject] is an entirely different person from Kuisonar-Avena, I have received word from the Emperor himself, who claims that the [Subject] is the mage himself and has somehow survived in the material world for eleven thousand years without a proper supply line. The legitimacy of these claims are yet to be proven, but I, a soldier loyal to the Empire, believe His claims.
BEGIN CURRENT IMPERIAL FLEET ORDERS OF UNIT OURANOS - 0323E [DATE - M5 YEAR 42000 CYCLE 562]
Unit Ouranos is to investigate soul energy pertaining to that of traitorous Imperials outside of 0323E. Unit Ouranos shall consist of five standard Armadas and is authorized for complete termination of individuals believed to be traitors to the Empire.
BEGIN ANALYSIS⦠[DATE - M6 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Classified Imperials logs then tell of travels from 0323E to 0773A, and although the exact details and exploits of Unit Ouranos have yet to be declassified, it is believed that the Unit encountered the Subject on 0773A-01A5. It is believed that the Subject then led the armadas away from this planet and eventually drew the Unit into a trap, the specifics of which are still unknown. The use of this trap obliterated the Unit, and the survivors were scattered across 0773A. Despite this, the Empire maintains a strong presence due to the high number of Angel survivors. As of writing this, the Empire is sending at least thirty more fleets in order to conquer 0773A, the owner of this tablet being among them.
ADDENDUM - [DATE_EXPUNGED]
Oh. Itās one of these things, isnāt it? Imperials trying their best to make sense of nonsense, all that nonsense. Well, Iāve got the tablet. They canāt really access these files, since theyāre really just notes and compilations of old logs. Thank you Operationā¦Iām not sure how to spell that, but, hey, Iāve got a tablet for note taking now. Thatās nice.
ADDENDUM (1) - [DATE_EXPUNGED]
Iāve been bouncing around the multiverse for some time already, I hope the Administration doesnāt miss me. Finding allies, especially multiversal ones, are pretty difficult to get to. The Keeperās definitely a strong contender, but theyāve told me they donāt care about the entire Empire. Itās their Cluster thatās going to fall. Iām just trying to make sure it doesnāt. Gods are entirely out of the question. Their arrogance would get us all killed.
Right now, Iām in some sort of messed up universe where the planets are void and space is matter. Tell ya what, itās a fever dream, even worse than what Aries can mix up. I miss those guys. The ships Iām using are pretty bad, Starfleet ones, which, although by the othersā standards, are really good, these things are not fitted well enough for multiversal travel. Iāve been dropping down runestones so I donāt have to deal with this anymore and itās not worth it to take an unmodified Imperial ship for myself.
ADDENDUM - I can name these? AND date them? What the heck? - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
I feel like an old guy just realizing he can save files. Then again, the entire time Iāve been in the Empire, I was probably insane and forgetful. Iāve just found one of their bases, a listening post, Iora would freak. Pretty sure Fiery would, too, but Managementās got nothing on these Imperials. Iāve found some logs about them, actually, letās see if I can upload them.
Either way, this base is actually pretty neat. Iāve got some knowledge on ship building, Iām pretty sure I can figure out how to rig a ship to not track me. Thatāll be useful. I also need to send out some signals to see if anyoneās listening, especially any multiversal factions. At this point, though, I'm not sure.

ADDENDUM - New universe! - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
This oneās not that bad. Waterās just acidic now, so hydrochloric acidās the new water. Truth be told, these donāt feel like the alternate universe Iām used to. Thereās two major classifications of universes across the multiverse, the Rearranged Universes, where atoms and other laws are given different properties or Alternate Universes, where events in the timeline split. But these universes donāt feel like either of them. They feel like some childās plaything rather than some sort of natural occurrence.
Children as gods. Thatās not good at all. Iāve managed to fix an Imperial ship up, remove the tracking devices and cameras, so now I can travel the multiverse in style. Shame I didnāt bring the Starbreaker for this trip, but people would definitely notice if I took that. What a great Coalition ship. Anyways, looks like no oneās survived here for long, so Iāll have to bounce already. Someone like Fiery or Neptune would definitely want to stay behind and study it, but Iām on a time crunch here.
TRANSCRIBED ADDENDUM - FOUND! - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
I found it! People who can travel the multiverse! Freaking! Yes! Yes! Yes!
ADDENDUM (3) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Imperials got to them. Put them out of their misery. Iāve checked out this Clusterās map, Iām on the border already. Goddamnit. Need to move before the Empire figures out Iām here. If I donāt manage to get some allies, weāre all good as dead.
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Iām pretty sure thereās another universe just in front of me, but it doesnāt seem too trashed. Looks like one of the Altered ones, so Iāll probably try to find the Starfleet or Management or the Sisterhood or the Order. The shipās holding up fine, though, Iām pretty sure it was altered before I got to it. It doesnāt have a proper name, though. I think Iāll call it Dawnbringer.
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (1) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
First stop, Starfleet capital. Sol, if what Zockās told me is right. Some sort of Dyson Sphere all around a yellow dwarf. Pretty smart of them. Iām keeping this log open as I get to Sol, though. You know, in the Old Times, Sol was what once was Humanity's home star. Iām pretty sure itās a black dwarf at this point.
Solās looking good. Iāve sent out a signal asking to dock and meet their leaders, so Iām just waiting for them to say āYou in.ā I just realized, Iām basically an alien. Roll up to a society in a ship thousands of eons more advanced than anyone could have dreamed of, and straight up asking to meet their leaders. And I speak their language, how convenient.
Alright, theyāve let me in. Iām switching this to audio.
AUTO-GENERATED ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (1) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Hey, youāve seen that signal Iāve sent ya?
Hm? Oh, wait, youāre not a cargo ship.
Noā¦no Iām not. Did you read the signal?
Dude, Iām not paid enough to read what you sent, just, go somewhere. Iām just here to keep watch on the ships, Iām sixteen, bro.
Watch my ship, then. Iām finding your leaders.
Please select level.
Uh, highest?
Level Three Hundred and Ninety Nine selected.
Couldāve been for- AH! Gosh, bullet elevators! Iāve got a new fear now!
Level reached. Please rate your experience aboard Sol Elevator Services.
Would not recommend. I died three times. Oh, thereās a seatbelt. You know, that makes a lot more sense, come to think of it.
Thank you for using Sol Elevator Services. Please exit the elevator.
More like death trap. Could I justā¦fly? Maybe thatād raise alarm bells. Wait, no, I need to get noticed. Off I go!
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (2) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Iām not particularly sure why the Starfleet of this universe trusts me. According to them, I broke at least thirty laws trying to find their leaders. But hey, news of a threat is still news. Right now, theyāre taking me to their hub and letting me off or something along those lines, I donāt pay attention. Switching back to audio. Maybe I can find a map.
AUTO-GENERATED ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (3) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Hello, state your name for the computer to hear.
Uh, Skuemr.
Skuemr? Odd name for an odd fellow. Blind one, too.
I get that a lot. Say, are ya a receptionist? I really need to see the Council, like, now. Itās urgent.
The Councilās dealing with more pressing matters. They will attend to your request shortly. I didnāt cross space and time and reality and time again just to be put on a waiting list. This _is _the pressing matter, Misterā¦Crocker. Weāve got a situation, and I need to tell everyone about it.
Please wait for the Council to attend to your request.
How long would that take?
Three to four business days.
NO! You donāt understand, do you? I need to see them now! Iāve lost six other civilizations because I was put on a damn waiting list, no, Iām going to get to them!
No, sir, you donāt understand!
I understand plenty, now!
Oh, security! Restrain-
Iām seeing them. Now. And you canāt stop that. Iām done being civil.
Council! Whatever your name is! Hello!
We canāt attend to this specific request but- Who are you? How did you get past security?
Doesnāt matter. I need to tell you about something a bit pressing.
Weāre dealing with pressing matters that you arenāt permitted to hear-
To hell with that! The Empire is why Iām here!
Theyāve sent a delegate? Already?
Theyāre quick. But whatās with the blindfold?
What? No, no? They didnāt send a delegate? Iām telling you, donāt accept that proposal. Theyāre going to invade soon!
Theyāve made themselves out to be pretty nice.
They did this to me!
Great heavens! What are you, an angel?
The worst kind. Now, Iām gathering people who are willing to fight the Empire.
Why is that? What will happen if we let the Empire win?
Exploitation, restructuring of thousands of star systems, genetic engineering everyone and anything into pets! Houseplants! Any object youāve touched, theyāll make you into that! Theyāll burn every planet that they donāt like, and theyāll topple your religions before your very eyes!
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (4) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
I consider that a success. Mostly because they didnāt kill me. Also because they decided to not accept the Empireās proposal. Iāve done some digging around this Starfleetās files and, let me just try to upload these for once.
UPLOADED FILE - [DATE_NOT_FOUND]
Hello, to whom it may concern.
We are coming to you with the proposal to form an alliance with you and other affiliated parties. We identify ourselves as the Empire and offer you to form a mutually beneficial connection to better both of our parties. Under this connection, we will provide you with technology, resources and soldiers while you provide us with crucial scientific data pertaining to the inner workings of this universe.
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (5) - [DATE - M10 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Starfleet down, time for Management. I think Iāll have chances if I get to an Altered Licon since Atom or Shadow or Ryan lives there. Besides, I have no clue where Managementās capital is.
Iāve been thinking about the Altered Universes. Technically speaking, I shouldnāt factor into the Alteration Cycles because Iām not from here, Iām an outsider. Iāll probably be the only version of myself because Iām not supposed to exist, therefore, if I do get copied, the entire Cluster would perish. Wonder if that applies to Iora. Maybe not. Oh, thatās Licon.
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (6) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Thatās a strange looking Starbreaker. Need to bring down the ship here, letās say a bit south of the town. Weird town, too. Is this what happens when I donāt exist? Iāll update this with some of my notes as I keep going along, maybe get a table in here or something.
| Home Construction | Alternate Construction |
| Starbreaker | A ship going by the name of āSeaskipper IIā. Appears to be of Starfleet quality and build. Current readings say that Shiny is the Captain of the crew. |
| Major Town | Drastically altered, with a few fountains and a small number of scattered buildings. The Wallow Temple has been replaced with a Sparky one. |
| Tunnel | No change. |
| NeoTavern and Site B | A small shack reading āNot Site Bā. Entry was trivally easy, but Site B proved to be a refurbished underground city with the intent on studying souls. Supercharged sculk blocks appeared to be under possession of the owners of Site B. |
| My home | An old, quartz infested mineshaft, lacking runestones but housing a number of old bodies. DNA testing shows that they were Angels. There was an old Management bot, though. |
| Old Site D | A Management base. I got the data I needed and bounced. No one was there. |
| Site D | Abandoned, overrun by monsters. No oneās been here for a while. |
| Other bases | No observed changes. |
| Management Base | Greatly expanded. |
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (7) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
I see a person in the tunnel. I think itās this universeās alternate version of Iora, but considering how everything appears to be Management based, Iām keeping my guard up.
AUTO-GENERATED ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (8) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Ho! How goes ye?
Hi hi! How are you doing?
Well, youāre probably the first person Iāve seen in a handful of weeks, so, pretty good.
I mean, I havenāt seen anyone in a while, either.
How so?
Everyoneās sort of disappeared, itās awfully lonely out here, you know?
Scarcely.
Iāve got work, work, more work, nothing much else. How about you?
Wait, wait, who do you work for anyways?
Management, who else? Donāt tell me youāre with Starfleet.
No, Iām with no one, but, but I need to talk with them.
Why is that?
Something, something Iāll only talk with Management about this.
Iāllā¦talk with them first.
Done deal. If you need me, you know where to find me.
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (10) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Iām following her right now.
TRANSCRIBED ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (9) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
[iora_] Hello. Thereās a new arrival on Licon.
[Management] Proceed.
[iora_] He never told me his name, but he looks like a Flyer and an Undead crossed. Right now, heās in some sort of ship just off of the tunnel. Iāve got some toys trained on him, but I think heās caught on.
[Management] Continue your actions. We will notify Atom and Shadow of this development.
[iora_] Another thing. He wishes to talk with you.
[Management] We will decide if it deserves an audience.
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (11) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Well, [EXPLETIVE]. Guess this Managementās not that different. I need to figure out my next steps. The Dawnbringer got good enough shields to hold off their attacks, but Iād much rather not try to bring some sort of attention to myself. But thereās also the issue of Management, though. Iāll have to get into their bases, maybe knock out some people, James Bond style.
And like every James Bond movie, everythingās going to go splendid.
ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (12) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]
Well Licon just saw the same fate as the Sanctum. Interpret that as you wish. Since Managementās basically scrapped for now, I guess Iāll head on back. Iāve got a handful of allies right now, but double the enemies.
All in a dayās work. Or a month. Orā¦years? Gosh, these Anchors are working too well. This is Kuisonar-Avena, Captain of the Ouranos Legion, signing off. For now.
