ā€œThe 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. It’s not because he’s all powerful or all seeing or all anything, to be frank, he’s just as powerful as a normal Angel. And that’s what scares so many of the soldiers, of the colonists, of the higher ups. A normal Angel, and yet he’s wiped out entire Legions and armadas and fleets, he’s 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 Subject’s 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]

I’m not sure whether to be surprised or disgusted by the Coalition. If you’re reading this, I’d rather not those Suits know I wrote that, otherwise they’ll throw me out the airlock without hesitation. I’m just here to get paid. Nine legions of ships is more than enough to take care of a single universe. What’s one wizard?

BEGIN ANALYSIS… [DATE - M6 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

PoI 0773A-9258A (Otherwise known as ā€œSkuemr,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]

They’re everywhere, damnit. I don’t know how much time I’ve got until they find me, but the gun’s useless and my magic’s gone. Kul-An’s swarming with False Angels right now, but if I die, I’ll bring down this planet with me. I’ll 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 can’t take my mind. Try to control me, I dare you, try, try, I’ll 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-PANR’S EXPLORATION LOG - 0323E [DATE - M5 YEAR 42000 CYCLE 562]

There are reports of soul energy somewhere beyond 0323E. Personally, I think it’s another like minded civilization in which they use souls as much as we. Suits, though, believe that we’ve 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. It’s one of these things, isn’t it? Imperials trying their best to make sense of nonsense, all that nonsense. Well, I’ve got the tablet. They can’t really access these files, since they’re really just notes and compilations of old logs. Thank you Operation…I’m not sure how to spell that, but, hey, I’ve got a tablet for note taking now. That’s nice.

ADDENDUM (1) - [DATE_EXPUNGED]

I’ve been bouncing around the multiverse for some time already, I hope the Administration doesn’t miss me. Finding allies, especially multiversal ones, are pretty difficult to get to. The Keeper’s definitely a strong contender, but they’ve told me they don’t care about the entire Empire. It’s their Cluster that’s going to fall. I’m just trying to make sure it doesn’t. Gods are entirely out of the question. Their arrogance would get us all killed.

Right now, I’m in some sort of messed up universe where the planets are void and space is matter. Tell ya what, it’s a fever dream, even worse than what Aries can mix up. I miss those guys. The ships I’m using are pretty bad, Starfleet ones, which, although by the others’ standards, are really good, these things are not fitted well enough for multiversal travel. I’ve been dropping down runestones so I don’t have to deal with this anymore and it’s 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 I’ve been in the Empire, I was probably insane and forgetful. I’ve just found one of their bases, a listening post, Iora would freak. Pretty sure Fiery would, too, but Management’s got nothing on these Imperials. I’ve found some logs about them, actually, let’s see if I can upload them.

Either way, this base is actually pretty neat. I’ve got some knowledge on ship building, I’m pretty sure I can figure out how to rig a ship to not track me. That’ll be useful. I also need to send out some signals to see if anyone’s listening, especially any multiversal factions. At this point, though, I'm not sure.

ADDENDUM - Damn. - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

ADDENDUM - New universe! - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

This one’s not that bad. Water’s just acidic now, so hydrochloric acid’s the new water. Truth be told, these don’t feel like the alternate universe I’m used to. There’s 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 don’t feel like either of them. They feel like some child’s plaything rather than some sort of natural occurrence.

Children as gods. That’s not good at all. I’ve managed to fix an Imperial ship up, remove the tracking devices and cameras, so now I can travel the multiverse in style. Shame I didn’t bring the Starbreaker for this trip, but people would definitely notice if I took that. What a great Coalition ship. Anyways, looks like no one’s survived here for long, so I’ll have to bounce already. Someone like Fiery or Neptune would definitely want to stay behind and study it, but I’m 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. I’ve checked out this Cluster’s map, I’m on the border already. Goddamnit. Need to move before the Empire figures out I’m here. If I don’t manage to get some allies, we’re all good as dead.

ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

I’m pretty sure there’s another universe just in front of me, but it doesn’t seem too trashed. Looks like one of the Altered ones, so I’ll probably try to find the Starfleet or Management or the Sisterhood or the Order. The ship’s holding up fine, though, I’m pretty sure it was altered before I got to it. It doesn’t have a proper name, though. I think I’ll call it Dawnbringer.

ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (1) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

First stop, Starfleet capital. Sol, if what Zock’s told me is right. Some sort of Dyson Sphere all around a yellow dwarf. Pretty smart of them. I’m 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. I’m pretty sure it’s a black dwarf at this point.

Sol’s looking good. I’ve sent out a signal asking to dock and meet their leaders, so I’m just waiting for them to say ā€œYou in.ā€ I just realized, I’m 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, they’ve let me in. I’m switching this to audio.

AUTO-GENERATED ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (1) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

Hey, you’ve seen that signal I’ve sent ya?

Hm? Oh, wait, you’re not a cargo ship.

No…no I’m not. Did you read the signal?

Dude, I’m not paid enough to read what you sent, just, go somewhere. I’m just here to keep watch on the ships, I’m sixteen, bro.

Watch my ship, then. I’m finding your leaders.

Please select level.

Uh, highest?

Level Three Hundred and Ninety Nine selected.

Could’ve been for- AH! Gosh, bullet elevators! I’ve got a new fear now!

Level reached. Please rate your experience aboard Sol Elevator Services.

Would not recommend. I died three times. Oh, there’s 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 just…fly? Maybe that’d raise alarm bells. Wait, no, I need to get noticed. Off I go!

ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (2) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

I’m 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, they’re taking me to their hub and letting me off or something along those lines, I don’t 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. It’s urgent.

The Council’s dealing with more pressing matters. They will attend to your request shortly. I didn’t cross space and time and reality and time again just to be put on a waiting list. This _is _the pressing matter, Mister…Crocker. We’ve 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 don’t understand, do you? I need to see them now! I’ve lost six other civilizations because I was put on a damn waiting list, no, I’m going to get to them!

No, sir, you don’t understand!

I understand plenty, now!

Oh, security! Restrain-

I’m seeing them. Now. And you can’t stop that. I’m done being civil.

Council! Whatever your name is! Hello!

We can’t attend to this specific request but- Who are you? How did you get past security?

Doesn’t matter. I need to tell you about something a bit pressing.

We’re dealing with pressing matters that you aren’t permitted to hear-

To hell with that! The Empire is why I’m here!

They’ve sent a delegate? Already?

They’re quick. But what’s with the blindfold?

What? No, no? They didn’t send a delegate? I’m telling you, don’t accept that proposal. They’re going to invade soon!

They’ve made themselves out to be pretty nice.

They did this to me!

Great heavens! What are you, an angel?

The worst kind. Now, I’m 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 you’ve touched, they’ll make you into that! They’ll burn every planet that they don’t like, and they’ll 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 didn’t kill me. Also because they decided to not accept the Empire’s proposal. I’ve done some digging around this Starfleet’s 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 I’ll have chances if I get to an Altered Licon since Atom or Shadow or Ryan lives there. Besides, I have no clue where Management’s capital is.

I’ve been thinking about the Altered Universes. Technically speaking, I shouldn’t factor into the Alteration Cycles because I’m not from here, I’m an outsider. I’ll probably be the only version of myself because I’m not supposed to exist, therefore, if I do get copied, the entire Cluster would perish. Wonder if that applies to Iora. Maybe not. Oh, that’s Licon.

ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (6) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

That’s a strange looking Starbreaker. Need to bring down the ship here, let’s say a bit south of the town. Weird town, too. Is this what happens when I don’t exist? I’ll 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 ā€œSeaskipper 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 ā€œNot 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 one’s 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 it’s this universe’s alternate version of Iora, but considering how everything appears to be Management based, I’m 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, you’re probably the first person I’ve seen in a handful of weeks, so, pretty good.

I mean, I haven’t seen anyone in a while, either.

How so?

Everyone’s sort of disappeared, it’s awfully lonely out here, you know?

Scarcely.

I’ve got work, work, more work, nothing much else. How about you?

Wait, wait, who do you work for anyways?

Management, who else? Don’t tell me you’re with Starfleet.

No, I’m with no one, but, but I need to talk with them.

Why is that?

Something, something I’ll only talk with Management about this.

I’ll…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]

I’m following her right now.

TRANSCRIBED ADDENDUM - NOTHER UNIVERSE (9) - [DATE - M9 YEAR 42009 CYCLE 562]

[iora_] Hello. There’s 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, he’s in some sort of ship just off of the tunnel. I’ve got some toys trained on him, but I think he’s 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 Management’s not that different. I need to figure out my next steps. The Dawnbringer got good enough shields to hold off their attacks, but I’d much rather not try to bring some sort of attention to myself. But there’s also the issue of Management, though. I’ll have to get into their bases, maybe knock out some people, James Bond style.

And like every James Bond movie, everything’s 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 Management’s basically scrapped for now, I guess I’ll head on back. I’ve got a handful of allies right now, but double the enemies.

All in a day’s work. Or a month. Or…years? Gosh, these Anchors are working too well. This is Kuisonar-Avena, Captain of the Ouranos Legion, signing off. For now.
