Thousand Worlds - 01x1 Qadarts-com station – Thousands World - Qadarts-com station – 01×1 Thousand Worlds
The Qadarts Station was a communications station located on the edge of the Centaury system, right on the border with the Sirius system and its artificial intelligence (AI) hive inhabitants. The station was a kind of advanced military communications post that had been monitoring the activity of the hives for a long time, without much success, since they had withdrawn towards the interior of the Sirius and Dennis 1048-39 system, after a great battle that lasted hundred years and that after the union of all the known races and the great supremacy that the corporations could give to the humans, they made possible the entire campaign against the hives, keeping this tireless enemy at bay.
Iby was the droid that monitored and organized all the station’s data, he wandered through the dark corridors of the station calculating data and connected to the station’s data processor. The station was in one of its two rotations with no human crew and Iby was waiting for replacements to come.
The crew on duty consisted of a corvette that was anchored to the station in case of emergency, a squadron of five fighters that could have great firepower in case of an attack or to deter any straying enemy, and two squadrons of marines. , which served the union of human planets, which included two combat droids that supported each squad, not to mention the pilots that manned each of the ships.
Added to all this were several scientists in various disciplines, who always had experiments on the station and also incessantly collected data from the systems they were targeting, almost always those occupied by the hives.
The replacement was already one rotation late, something that was not normal, given the importance of the enclave, so Iby began to compute all the data, wanting to establish direct communication with the corvette that should have arrived, with the personnel carrier.
– Raider I. This is Iby at Qadarts station, do you receive me? -Iby said while he did not stop walking down the hall-. But he got no answer, despite constantly repeating the question.
At that moment, once the second delay rotation had already entered, Iby decided to activate the emergency protocol, but just as he was digitizing the code, a call entered the communications channel.
– Raider I, this is Captain López in emergency communication, we have problems, they have intercepted us and we have lost all the support fighters, it seems that we will be able to arrive, but we will need to carry out repairs during our watch. We send list of necessary materials for repair.
“Understood, Raides I,” Iby said into the comm channel.
Iby walked over to a communications terminal in the station corridor and read the materials on the screen.
– Iby. Here raider I, we are ready for the hooking maneuver.
– Raider I here Iby, you have authorization to proceed with the docking maneuver.
– Thank you, Ibby.
The corvette began the docking maneuver, it seemed very damaged, it was missing several blower motors and the docking was not easy. The pilot had to proceed manually and the station had to turn with him so they could dock without carrying larger males.
-This is Raider I, successful docking, said Captain López holding his breath.
The marines spread out on the station, each occupying their corresponding position, while the scientists quickly headed towards the station’s computer area with the intention of collecting as much data as possible.
– Iby received Captain López and the pilot of the corvette at the exit lock.
– It is possible that they have followed us, we are not safe anymore in this station. -Captain López said quickly to Iby, we need to repair the corvette as soon as possible and get out of here. The whole team is already on alert and they are proceeding with their tasks.
– Understood, said Iby, we should notify the nearest control. I’m afraid the required materials are insufficient to repair the Raider I.
– We’ll have to improvise. To all the units, the tasks and needs are assigned in your terminals, we have a half rotation to repair the ship and get out of here. If there are no reserve materials, use the parts of the station that are not essential.
The station was now in chaos, all the crew members and marines were working on the collection and repair of the ship, Iby even made himself available to Captain Lopez, in the vicinity of the ship. Several crewmen were in space fixing problems with the Raider I’s hull and hatches, and just as many were busy repairing the pulse jet engines, as well as small shunts in the main engine.
The scientists for their part rushed to clean up the laboratory and collect data on their disks, as well as send all the necessary copies to the relevant reception places.
Suddenly Iby stood still, the captain looked at him. He was receiving a signal.
– A ship is approaching our position. An unidentified ship. Iby finally said.
– What kind of ship Iby.
– I think it’s one of the hive ships.
– Immediate evacuation. Said the captain, All to the corvette.
Everyone rushed to run towards the ship with what their hands could carry, the repairs were insufficient but it was imperative to get out of there, they should not let the hives capture them, it was not a tasteful dish what the machines used to do with the humans and other species after capturing them.
Suddenly Iby was still again. – The ship has stopped. She does not continue advancing.
– What are you waiting for, I don’t like this at all.
The droids that accompanied the marines collapsed, a kind of voltage drop plus a reboot made them wake up but they were no longer the same, their behavior had changed and after a few seconds of uncertainty they turned against the marines. They began to shoot indiscriminately against the marines and all those who were in their path. Relentlessly advancing and poking holes in the case due to its firing power. The space wind blew and dragged all the material towards the holes created by the firepower, the bodies danced lifelessly in all the rooms and Captain López lay dead in 0 gravity next to the corvette’s lock. Iby continued in a kind of lethargy hooked on the communications, the conscious part of him was affected by the massacre that in a few seconds he had witnessed.
Iby entered a kind of torpor in which it seemed that endless data was computerized. A few minutes later he came to, he was Iby, but he no longer controlled his own destiny, he was no longer an independent artificial intelligence that served humans, he was no longer the Iby who guarded the station.
Iby, who seemed to be controlled by an entity outside of himself, boarded the corvette along with the other two droids and headed for the strange ship that seemed to have entered the machines to hack and seize them.
The two ships headed towards the interior of the Sirius System, and while they were advancing a torpedo left the mysterious ship of the hives to hit Qadarts station, destroying it into a thousand pieces forever.
