Alexx's Story

Alexx Walks in

‘s eyes

Alexx ‘s green eyes scanned the shop, looking at the decor. It wasn’t too shabby, in fact the place looked quite homely, a great place for her to sit down and write some of her fanfiction.

Alexx looked to the woman who had spoken and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, before her hand came up to tuck a stray strand of her short black hair behind her ear. “Is it that obvious?”

Alexx tilted her head as she walked towards where the woman had motioned and took a seat, putting her laptop bag onto the floor next to her feet. “Forgive me, but...built?”

Alexx shook her head and gave a gentle smile. “Not at all. I just wouldn’t have guessed that you were an Android. But then again, one doesn’t really come across Androids much.”

Alexx smiled again, before looking down at her lap and shaking her head. “Shifter actually,” she said. She didn’t much like to talk about her particular kind, she always found that it did more harm than good to let people know that she was something many feared and hated.

Alexx chuckled lightly and fiddled with her hands. As much as she tried to be confident, she was always shy around new people, well she was, Thera however couldn’t be said the same for.

Alexx Appears in the teahouse and looks around. Upon seeing Lara, she raises an eyebrow and gives a little wave.

She happened to be on the beach of an island when the meteor fell into the ocean. The large wave that it created had her scrambling to climb up a tree to keep dry. Her ocean green eyes were wide as saucers as she looked at the large impact ripple that was on the surface.

The impact on the water shattered the meteor, releasing that which had been sealed within. Dalen, his eyes closed, was still wearing the armor in which he had been sent from his home. He sank, the weight of the armor dragging him down. His story would have ended just as quickly as it had begun, had not other minds been keen on his survival. The life of the world had awakened the spirits of his people, and like burning spectres they grasped him, and dragged him through the water to the beach.

On the beach itself, the water would glow as though lit from below the depths by a shining star, before Dalen was cast by waves onto the sand of the beach.

There he lay, silent and unmoving.

She watched as the glow from the ocean revealed a bipedal creature that appeared human-esque except for the ears. Quickly, she climbed down her tree and landed on the sand with a soft 'thwush'. That same sound could be heard as she hurried over to the humanoid creature, the sand flying around as she dropped to her knees beside him.

Dalen lay silently on his back in the sand. His eyes were closed and his expression was one of sorrow.

His features marked him as something other than human. He shared many similarities, but held many differences. His eyebrows extended well beyond his face into a pair of antennae that curled about his head. His skin was light blue, and marked, where visible, with a single unending tattoo that presumably ran across the whole of his body. A strange ridge like seam ran from the bottom of his lower lip, down his chin, and into the hollow of his throat, and a banded stretch of darker, cartiligonous skin ran from the corner of his jaw up to his temple, on either side of his face, between his eyes and pointed ears.

He was garbed in a brilliantly polished armor of fine make. It consisted of a breastplate covering his chest, with interlocking banded plates covering the remainder of his torso. From the belt flowed a short cape that reached down to his calves, split in the middle all the way up to the middle of his thighs. The same interlocking plates covered his arms and legs, to the gauntlets and greaves that were his boots. Nearby, a shield had become dislodged from him, a sword rested within a sheath set into the shield itself.

He was silent and unmoving, seeming not even to breath, though with his armor, any motion of his chest would be hard to detect.

Hesitantly she placed her fingers to his pulse point. She didn't know what it was that she was supposed to be feeling for. Was this humanoid creature like her? Did he have one heart or multiple hearts? She didn't know, but she was glad when she found something reminiscent of a heartbeat.

Though the water was cold, Dalen's skin was warm, as though the sun had been shining on him all day. His pulse was not strong, but it was not the weak flutter of a dying man.

Slowly, his eyes opened, and when they did it was with a flash of brilliant light, like a pair of newborn stars shining in the cold of space. The soft light of his eyes was slightly blue, and it was not cold but warm, like a seabreeze. His eyes were unfocused at first, and he blinked twice, both times the light of the world dimmed as his eyes closed.

He opened his mouth to try and speak, but coughed and then shuddered in pain as his dry throat convulsed.

Somewhere on the west coast of Caprica...
Ajakis Naval Base, Caprican Provinicial Self Defense Force.

It started as a relatively quiet morning on the west coast of Caprica. There was a cool northern breeze, the birds were chirping, ringing in the new day.

All that came to an abrupt end, as the Ajakis Naval base, the closest naval base to where the meteor had struck was brought on alert.

The sounds of sirensfilled the various Aschen communities lining the coast of Alpheus, people would begin to scramble, People practiced many drills in the past, but this was the first live breach scenario, and while Dalen, and Alexx would likely be oblivious to the response that was being mounted, that didn't change the fact that they would be here very soon.



On the tarmac of the Ajakis naval base, pilots of the Caprican Defense Force's tenth Air Wing were making final preparations for takeoff, the order to scramble had been given, and the base was brought quickly to alert.

Pilots checked their gear, checked their craft, and the trio of A-15 Orca Gunships kicked on their engines with a shrill whine, as a flight of Vipers screeched across the runway, ascending into the skies.

One pilot looked up briefly, a condor VTOL flying overhead, followed by another one, rapid response has already geared up, and were moving towards the last known location where the meteoroid had been tracked to.

"Orca Flight Six, Niner, Niner, cleared for departure... Runway two nine..."

Kicking on the engine, the pilot engaged the throttle, the VTOLS ascending into the air. The air traffic controller cleared them for departure, and with a brief shift of their engines, they darted off in the direction of the Vipers, and the Condors.



The Vipers moved swiftly through the thick ocean air, and they moved with a purpose.

They soared first over a pair of drilling platforms, and within the next ten minutes, they were beginning their recon approach to the island.

"Two Lifesigns... circling around to confirm.." The Pilot radioed.



The pair of fighter jets passed overhead, their engines screaming before they banked hard to the right, swinging back around and moving swiftly for another pass.

On the horizon, more aircraft could be seen.

The sound of approaching aircraft, a forign sound to Dalen, nonetheless forced him to full alertness. He stood, warily, carefully, as his legs were yet unsteady beneath him. His eyes were unfocused and he had trouble seeing around him. Nevertheless he proceeded in the direction he believed the sound to be coming from.

"Hgara ninse tor ban dothu" He said aloud, the words incomprehensible to any beyond his own kin. Indeed they were incomprehensible to anyone in the whole of the universe, as he was a being who came from the void that existed beyond light and creation.

He stumbled in the sand and fell to his knees, his armor pulling him down as he continued to flail about aimlessly.
