The seizure of the Aterra star ship a kind of exploration vessel loaded to the hilt with their technology that hitherto had been inaccessible to the ‘Warlords’ the SYMBIOTICS.. was now boarded after the plague had infected the former occupants. NOT one Aterra had been spared.
Former attack from the Aterra had seen two of the ‘Warlords’ vessels destroyed. Hence the SYMBIOTICS had waited patiently to gain access secretly sending in some of their controlled infected Aterra which once aboard the craft IT had not triggered any alarm.
The plague had been spread over what we might call 24 hours.. IT was that effective. The moment the Aterra realized they had been infected AND betrayed by those of their own kind; it was too late.
NO other ‘Warlords’ had achieved what they had. In possession of one of the most advanced space craft ever built.. beyond all basic comprehension of what it was capable of? IT would take time even with their infected hosts to fully take over it BUT for now it was a vessel of limitless possibilities.
Weapons and the necessity to ensure they had full weapons capabilities including the DEFENCE systems under their control was paramount. For some time it held its course. steady, no hostiles to contend with, nothing but the deep darkness of space. Planets that soon would fall under their command.
Whole systems with hundreds of planets ripe for conquest WOULD fall under their control. Wui Aai AND Xi Aei were bonded genetically to such a depth that NOTHING came between them. Their greed, their need for power.. to dominate, to have to take to destroy at their pleasure before had been a real pleasure.
NOW with the Aterra star ship, its capabilities, its means to traverse vast space .. their pleasures would exceed all and anything beyond their wildest desires. Unknown to them where they were some planets were protected by other beings.. far more powerful and as capable of inflicting pain; destruction.
