Welcome to Gaia! ::

The inky blackness of space, somewhere in a galaxy a considerable distance from Gaia. In relation to present day more than three hundred years had passed, and Mindblaze was now contained within the Emerald Swarm, a group of small packets of flesh designed to drain energy and contain his immense consciousness. Upon a throne of ruby at the heart of the sleek bioship Bioblaze sat alert, several tendrils reaching out to give him sight through the ship though his eyes were closed, linking directly to the very consciousness of the ship itself. Crimson Mists billowed around him, The Five as well as The Dominion Juggernaut and The Blade of the Dominion. They were all still with him, but there were several he had...lost along the way.

Like bullets passing through a human body, the Bioship shuddered at the precise blasts, Bioblaze visibly twitching upon his throne as thoughts of the pain entered his consciousness. The main weapons system had been disabled, as well as several auxiliary functions unimportant to the ship's survival. A crimson sphere blazed into existance around the ship for a moment and sputtered out, a shield of sorts failing. Regeneration and muscle contraction began immediately to repair damage dealt and re-establish the shield. An image flared before him on what one might call a viewing screen, the view shifting to show a mostly symetrical mass of metal closing upon him from a distance, ehergy trail evident to his own sight. Bioblaze snapped his fingers and pointed two fingers out towards the other ship as The First and The Second dissolved into Crimson Mist and phased outside to dart towards the ship as pure light, and hopefully find an entrance through which light could pass. The ship itself had been nearly immobilized, speed cut down to only momentum retained through inertia.

The First and The Second kinda just...kept going. They'd be back... eventually. The link between Bioblaze and his ship seemed to shut down, even a forced connection becoming unstable. The ship, oddly enough, was falling into a state similar to unconsciousness, the precise blasts acting as if one were striking pressure points on a human body. The ship slowly began to drift into a spin to the right, the force of one of the blasts altering the ship's course, and it was unable to hold it steady. Within, without the use of the ship's psionics, he was without a way to contact, or even resist the one assaulting his ship. He couldn't yet place why he hadn't felt the approach , and was rather amased, for once, that the ship could even reach a state of unconsciousness. Whomever was assailing him was...unique, and not a bad shot either.

Seeing as the ship was unconscious and Bioblaze could still only see in the means of flows of energy and heat beyond the walls of his ship, he'd really not be seeing that very much, or at all. All he could do was sit in his throne, awaiting some form of raiding party or his own destruction.

Bioblaze glanced over and jumped at the sight of him, causing him to fall out the opposite side of his throne. He peeked back up from over the side, "What in the name of the heavens above...?"

Bioblaze pulled back, his eyes dissolving into the Emerald Swarm before one reformed, leaving the other cavity empty. The empty eye socket filled with crimson light as Bioblaze received a composite image of the child, "You...dream of me? I vaguely recall your face, but I never forget an aura...though that which surrounds you is...changed from that which I remember. Your name...its been so long..."

He blinked for a moment, "Who am I? Why would you ask such a thing if you've come seeking me out? I am Mindblaze Ellena, known to some as Bioblaze, well, to those whom once knew me as Mindblaze considering this current form, anyhow."

Bioblaze's form lost cohession, shifting as a mass of nearly complete flesh, shifting and rising up to stand in front of the inquizative young one, "I'm not exactly an easy person to forget, but forgetting things myself has become...rather easy. So many voices fill my head that much was lost when I was gifted with this body. Tell me of yourself, and maybe we can puzzle this out together. First, among others, where the hell did you learn to shoot like that?"
