"I admit, it certainly is posible," Kyle admitted. "I've been all across the galaxy, in multiple 'verses. It wouldn't surprise me if we had met before."

 

"Kage," Anna asked, "Do you have any Romulan Ale here? Or is that illegal in these parts?"

Tran: "Multiple universes?"

Tran was shocked, he had no idea that that was even possible to accomplish.

"Yeah," Kyle responded. "The DMC discovered how to travel between the 'verses during the Marauder War, thanks in part to our enemy at that time, the Necromyan Collective."

 

"At the close of the war, when the alliance between the races of the Necromyan Collective dissolved," Anna explained, "A few of the races helped us develop better versions of the device that allows us to travel between the 'verses."

 

"Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones who were developed such technology after the war," Kyle remarked.

"We too were ones that developed a way to travel as the DMC." Balsa says casually, eating sparingly as she oversee's Gracia's mountain of food. "Although most likely not in the same way using the same devices."

 

Gracia raises a hand over her plate, the mountain obscuring her from Kyle and Anna's view. "I help!" She says cheerfully, lowering her hand and attacking her plate once more.

 

Balsa chuckles and ruffles her hair.  "Although The Captain uses it not for war, but for Economics."

Tran: "That form of technology sounds...familiar to me somehow. However, I can't quite remember how...did you have a name for your project?"

"Well, we didn't have a choice at the time ours was developed," Kyle said. "After the war ended, we shifted use of the device to exploration. Didn't stop Zaariin and his faction when they--"

 

Drake appeared with Kabier at his side. "Mind if we leave for a bit?" he asked.

 

"Depends," Anna replied, "Where are you two going?"

 

"Kabier's just going to show me around," Drake stated, "We're not leaving the complex."

 

"I know this one place that has an awesome arcade," Kabier commented. "That's the first place we're going."

 

"You have your comlink, Drake?" Kyle asked.

 

Drake dug into his pocket and retreived his comlink. "I never leave home without it, dad," he said.

 

Kyle smiled and chuckled. "Be careful, you two," he cautioned them.

 

 

Tran: "That form of technology sounds...familiar to me somehow. However, I can't quite remember how...did you have a name for your project?"

 

"Project?" Kyle queried as Drake and Kabier left. "What do you mean?"

"Do you have a name for the device used to travel to these different universes?"

"Oh," Kyle responded, "It's called a... well, we use Trans-Dimensional Intergalactic Rift generators; we in the DMC typically tie them in to our Translight drives. What they do is create a spatial rift that links the 'verse our ship is in with the 'verse our ship is going, but when they're tied into our Translight drives, it literally creates a portal to our destination, making travel to different 'verses much quicker than just using the TDIG-R generator alone."

 

"Be warned, though," Anna said, "Going to different 'verses is highly dangerous. Some 'verses are very... hostile. Not all will welcome you with open arms."

Kabier and Drake walked along the floor of the complex, headed for the Arcade Kabier mentioned.

 

"You know, I wonder," Kabier said, "I have heard of your race's history, but something still doesn't make sense; Why did the Necromyans start hunting the Dragon-Shifters in the first place?"

 

"They weren't hunting Dragon-Shifters as a whole; they were hunting dad," Drake explained. "Dad learned it two years into the war - a prophetic underpinning to their campaign; they believed him to be a harbinger to what they called the Schism."

 

"The Schism?" Kabier repeated. "You mean when he dissolved the Necromyan Collective?"

 

"In a manner of speaking," Drake responded. He breathed a deep sigh, then began to explain the events that shaped the war...

Tran: "Ok. That name sounds strangely similar...I need to ask again. Do you know me from anywhere?"

"Again, it's possible - I've been from one 'verse to the next, and I've seen a lot of people. Maybe you could provide a clear image as to where you were when you think you saw me?" Kyle asked.

Tran states quietly: "...venom..."

"Venom..." Kyle responds, "... Yes, I've been there. Last time I was there, I was putting down a resurgent Venomian uprising supported by the Galactic Empire of 'verse 02-Gamma. Nasty business. It's possible that you may have seen me on the ground fighting the Venomian and Imperial forces; my wife and son coordinated the fleet action. Were you there?"

Tran: "Yeah...about that..."

Tran looks away...

"Never mind. Question, have you heard anything about any recent attempts of theft of certain materials; ones that could be used to re-create a similar trans-dimensional transporter device? At least, around the Lylat system?"

"My family and I have only just arrived in the Lylat system," Kyle said, "So no. Why do you ask?"

Why do I get the feeling he's holding something back...? Kyle mused in his mind. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"... We saved the galaxy from both the Necromyans and Kuudaako's resurgence," Drake concluded. "But it didn't end there. After the war, Dad's friends in Team Star Dragon vanished. Where they wander now... is knowledge only they hold. Dad was left to deal with the other threats that cropped up alone."

 

"When did you meet him?" Kabier asked.

 

"Some time ago... on this world, no less," Drake answered. "I had been searching for him for years. When I learned he was on Corneria, however, I knew that Malgus and the Sith would not be far behind."

 

"Yeah, I heard about that," Kabier said. "What about your mother? When did she appear in the picture?"

 

"Some time after I had met dad," Drake replied. "We were about to give up looking for her when she surfaced on Dragon'taan. At the time, we had no idea she was my mother, but... after it was confirmed, it was inevitable that she and dad got married."

 

"Wow," Kabier commented. "Your family has been through a lot."

 

"No kidding," Drake agreed.

Dimitri picks up another drink from the bartender, takes a swig and says " Hunter, come here kid." while motioning to take a seat

"Yeah, I'm fine... (turns around and smiles) would you like a drink?"

Hunter couldnt help but take notice of Dimitri. "I'm sorry did you just call me a......kid???" "What the??" Hunter felt almost a little insulted. He notices the drink and figures that Dimitri must have been drunk. "I better keep in mind what happened last time I assumed things...."

 

"Hey you, didnt i meet you when I first came to the bar?"

Hunter turns around to see what Dimitri had just freaked out about, when he sees this incredibly large beast before him, but it wasn't some ordinary beast, no, this was a dragon.

 

His paws shaking, Hunter holds out his right one, and says "H-h-h...he- hello, my n-n-n-name is Hun--Hu- Hunter. What is y- yours?"

 

"TRAN IS GONNA GET ME KILLED, SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF HERE PLEEEEAAASSSSEEE!!"

 

Surely the hunter felt more like the hunted at this point in time. Talk about irony.
