They, were the ones, the Warlords feared.
Not alone re that. The Matsupa were not the same as the Sanctified.
Their beliefs were older and their race better known for what they were whereas that lot, hailed from the darker corners of the Qiverse.
The Warlords had trespassed on a world within that quadrant. Seizing and attempting to use their implants to take over.
The failure, left the invaders vaporised. 10 of them were left, the Portei Semperu was still open but after the same happened again no more were sent through.
The ones who had been returned were quick to deliver a message about who they had offended and OFFENDED was the warning.
The death and destruction from the SYMBIOTICS had seen hundreds slaughtered. The ones who had returned were less than 10.
What was an unknown ? The Sanctified had marked them and their bodies had a means for them to be tracked.
Across the depths of space. Not even in the same quadrant but, the forces of the Sanctified were now enroute to the first point of origin. Taken totally by surprise, those of the SYMBIOTICS were now facing an enemy of terrifying numbers.
The creatures if they could be called such, they had with them appeared, disappeared, with a speed that one could say in the blink of an eye would be expressive of an unsettling truth.
Tearing asunder all in their path without mercy. Limbs torn off.. not eaten not nibbled on just thrown to the wind, the wind created by their onslaught.
By the time the SYMBIOTICS had armed their weapons.. and sent in their fodder and FODDER they were. the poorest, the disposable refuse from the millions amongst those they had enslaved.. it was too late.
The massive collonades of the King and Queens Imperical retreats were now facing the rampage of such force that shook their very foundations.. not just a swaying but a complete slamming of such constructs against each other liken I suppose to taking two individuals similar height, build and slamming their heads together..
NONE survived. The heads of those considered by the Sanctified as being of any relevance were sent through their Portei Semperu to another SYMBIOTICS King and Queen .. a warning.. of what was to come.
Mercy, some negotiation, treaties? NO!.
Word spread fast. The only relief, came with the arrival of the Arcan, who removed the Celestial Clock the power device to their Portrei Semperu.. . which meant the Sanctified could no longer use that as a doorway to send in their creatures...
The Arcan appearing in their presence here we are talking about the  Sanctified ? Nothing they threw at it or attempted to stop it from its task in hand worked. Impervious to anything that would stop it.
All they could do was watch as their Portei Semperu became an archway of no consequence.
Ancient technology they no longer had access to.
NOT that they did not understand its complexities, its technological brilliance created by the ones known as the
A terra..
The Sanctified might have been liken to a cult race of beings and NOT one has to emphasize this, beings that could be as per the Matsupa.
They did not perform ritual sacrifices, erect monuments to their Gods.. or create sacrificial slabs.. ones that ran with the blood of innocents.
NOR was their aim to be conquerors to own worlds.It was simple. IF you angered them or upset them and that often meant killing any of their kind you were in essence a marked target.
Thus the building of massive fleets of star craft allowed travel between the worlds they occupied.. and that included all races.. from the SYMBIOTICS to the SANCTIFIED. NOT the same as traversing through the Portei Semperu. Often slow, tedious and leaving them open to attack from raiders, from pirates, privateers who raided not only their seized craft but the colonies..
Knowing WHO your enemy was, which zones were hot zones was all relevant to their survival and it did not matter to those carrying out those raids as to who was WHO..
Death lingered in the shadows. Survival was the absolute.
NOTHING mattered bar living for the next breath .. that sense of having achieved
TRANSPARENTS, SYMBIOTICS, iCLONES, CLONECTICS, ANIMORPHICS those beings came in all shapes, sizes and FORMS.. the HUMANA the most recognised of all simply because the PROGESTORS produced those forms at the original will of the Gods of Creation..
ALL other forms were deemed mutations. OR created deformed beings not as one might say in the image of their true GODS of CREATION. Hence those forms were not looked upon with favour from the original creators.
Spite.. yes the GAME in all its fury could be savagely cruel to those they deemed imperfect.
Abominations and cursed from their creation.. YET the Human(a) were regarded and here we are talking about FUTURE wise as that accursed race ventured deeper into Qiverse and all that lay within it.. as warmongers, greedy and malicious beings. Intemperate, worse than some known slavers.
Those who took slaves or made CONVERTS and the SANCTIFIED did.. were enslaved without any consideration for mercy.. The Vendaren loved the Karens for their attitudes.. they made excellent CLONECTICS.. The Jogarth once their slave bands were on their captives ensured NONE ever survived being anything but compliant, obedient.
The Gods of Creation could change, alter, manipulate all things.. a slave or convert could be returned as they had been with no recollection of anything that had transpired as time itself could be manipulated.
The SYMBIOTICS were vast in their number of infected beings and that was a variety of early races BUT because they had been created on SOLUS their orgins were HUMAN(a) formed adaptations. Thus the Human(a) the ones originally created by the Annunaki were their GENOME.
Any other races infected behaved differently. Some OK others could be unpredictable, violent, aggressive and unresponsive to the overall commands of the SYMBIOTIC mass.. The central core of all that was the SYMBIOTICS.
Rebellion, insurrection and outright disobedience which left the SYMBIOTICS reluctant to inhabit the forms of other races that did not in some way have the HUMAN(a) GENOME. Whatever their race other races and that included the SANCTIFIED IF that race upset them or angered them would still receive the same fury from them.
Hatred. Some races from the first encounters with those they came to hate became long established ingrained and part of who they were. No parlaying, no treaties, nothing but attacking, leaving your enemy the ones you hated; dead or destroyed. For some eradicated as a pestilence not an uncommon philosophy.
First impressions, could seal the fate of your race. Customs, creed, culture however bizarre could see your race accepted OR doomed.
The Matsupa had their scouts who visited worlds before they decided on sending in their ZEALOTS hordes.
ANY race who had their own GODS, statues, monuments would face their wrath.
Once their ZEALOTS invaded the true horror of those things revealed creatures far beyond anything you could deem as being the spawn of the devil.
Beings who were carnivorous. Tearing flesh eating it and reducing those watching on to subservient begging for mercy slaves.
Ones who would do anything without questioning the morality the right the wrong of any action they were now taking on the orders from their new masters.
The SANCTIFIED cleansed any world those ZEALOTS were found on. Leaving the inhabitants the original race as they once had been.. ANY who voluntarily aspired to join them, become CONVERTS could do so IF accepted by them AND ACCEPTED by them was an absolute.
For the MATSUPA they spared no mercy if they encountered the SANCTIFIED but the odds were to put it bluntly stacked against them. The weapons the technological advantages their enemy enjoyed went beyond their most advanced ones.
The ones the MATSUPA called their ACCOLYTES were powerful beings who became in their eyes GODS..
The Aztecuan, the Mayai and others were ones from the Ancient times.. MILLIONS of years in the past they had occupied Solus as it was known.. NOT SOLUS 1, 2 or 3
Ones who were technologically so advanced or became so.. that their planet when it became a burning fire ball uninhabitable saw them flee to take over other worlds.. Ones where the MATSUPA took them over, brought them into their GOD culture.
Sending their scouts back to the later Solus 2 then sending in their ACCOLYTES.. to establish civilisations.
The enslavement of, millions who built the sacrificial stones, the altars to give reverence to their Gods.. to the MATSUPA.
The temples built around the world the planet that was Solus 2 ... from temples stone structures to the PYRAMIDS.. BUT therein lies a truth. The STONE STEPPED temples were MATSUPA whereas the PYRAMIDS were those of THOTH..before the latter day civilizations. AFTER the ANNUNAKI..
In the OCEANS, the deepest parts of Solus from start to Sous 3 the MURMUI ruled beneath the waves.
The later MER MUI were able fo walk on land.. to become more HUMAN(a) in form though PYSIOLOGY, ANATOMY and overall WHO they were was in some respects vastly different.
THEIR technological skills went beyond ALL other creatures the primitives that followed on SOLUS..
Underwater DOMED cities, Creatures that were more than aware of the ever growing land infestation.
Hence the creation of the SYMBIOTICS and they had proven potent BUT
The creatures had proven capable of free thinking, of free will and the desire to break away from their original creators. The Murmui had no choice but to send them to other worlds using the Portei Semperu. The portal had seen them remove them the belief being ALL of them when in truth.. that was NOT so.
The SYMBIOTICS had infested creatures from Alien worlds known at the THOTH.. Establishing a force capable of defending against the Murmui who back then. early SOLUS.. we have to remember were NOT land capable beings. The product of their GENOME reassignment WERE the SYMBIOTICS.
The THOTH established the PYRAMIDS with FUSION technologies, massive Granite coffers.
Stored deep underground COFFERS (sarcophagi) RADON protection sealed and water cooled from aquifers that never dried up.
Uranium Cobalt and other fusive reactives, generating huge amounts of pure energy.
Carried by COPPER and in some instances IRON though they realized COPPER was the ultimate conductor to carry that energy.
Laid within the channels the cuts within the granite to act as inlays for the copper WIRES..
Those cuts that later Human(a) could not understand as being what they were. Channels for the copper strips / wire to traverse.
To attempt to communicate with their banished SYMBIOTICS they knew the co ordinates, the star charts and relevant symbolism of such, .
They built the PYRAMIDS in the star chart positions to emulate and allow them to never forget where their own had been sent.
A beam of energy, a light wave sent from the top of those PYRAMIDS to beam out across the vastness of space.
They never forgot nor thought that wherever their SYMBIOTICS had been sent would not see them doing something similar to be able to send a beam of energy back to SOLUS..
They for the time that was to pass, waited, waited; WAITED. The WARLORDS the original descendants of the SYMBIOTICS had indeed progressed.
Seizing technologies from other races they
conquered. The A terra Portei Semperu had enabled them to now traverse huge quadrants of the Qiverse.
For the A terra on Solus 3 the arrival of a being who was NOT Orian.. not Human(a) before one of the recently uncovered, discovered TEMPLES?
Powerful and one could say GOD LIKE.. now had its attention.. Above in the TEMPLE a surge of energy
flaring out ... emitting a high energy beam..
