“The
Gatekeepers have done their best, by force and deception, to muddy
the historical records of their conquest of Junctionworld. Not
their battle footage, mind you, or the fact that they rule supreme
over this place. They're proud of those 'facts,' and enjoy reminding
the populace ad nauseum.”
“But,
when it comes to questions about their origins, things suddenly turn
mysterious. Oh, your average Gatekeeper is a morphed, stunted
version of a biped mammal, encased in an advanced protective shell,
that's apparent enough. Their technology level is astounding. The
problem is, no one ever heard of them before they came here. Not
even the RedFolk, or the Zov Collective. If there is any data on
them, they've scrubbed it clean.”
“Which
brings us to the question of why, of all the WorldGates, they
>CENSORED< the >CENSORED<. Not many know it these days,
but The >CENSORED< was their point of origin, their invasion
beachhead. They came through it like unholy angels in their heavy
grav armors, burning and slaughtering the Ja-Prenn down to the last
juvenile Breeder Queens. Since their takeover, they've obscured the
fact that somewhere behind the >CENSORED< was their home.
Whatever it is they're trying to evade, it must have finally caught
up to them.”
“Try
and poke around the edges of these facts, and Central Data usually
times out your connection, maybe issues you a warning to change
directions in your inquiries. Keep at it, and your kiosk or data
device orders you to stand by, and saves your picture and stats.”
“Meanwhile,
they vector in Model Ninety-Nine detectives to scoop you up. Those
interrogations usually start with synaptic torture, and end with a
conveyor belt ride into the void. You can laugh and call me a fool,
but I've heard about it.”
“Hold
on, there's a knock at the habitat door. Be right back.”
