| Apex-122... Tower has ordered a press conference after another one of Spectre's little projects made the news apparently. Weird how Spectre said she kept it in high secret with Klaut and only a few people knew about it so far and that is excluding the other immortal legends. Tower was present together with Viktor and Klaut facing the news cameras of the press who were looking to confirm the rumors. "Hello, thanks for being present here in such numbers... We have noticed that one of Spectre's projects has reached the light of day. Like many other bio weapons we already have such as the plague masters the weaponizing of the plague that has been named Scythe-145 has been made without full ackowledgement of other rulers. Though unlike the plaguemaster units or our immortal demons we decided to discontinue the weaponizing of Scythe-145. The genetic code of the plague is under strict security, all prototype weapons have been dismantled and further research has been halted and is currently strictly forbidden. Currently the only research related to Scythe-145 will be the cure research to relieve the natives of the planet. Any further questions?"
"How will you prevent it from being used."
"It's been my first and last immortal command to restrict the virus. As long as my name has authority within the faction, wich will be well beyond my death the command stands and the virus may not be used."
"Do you have proof of the destruction of the virus?"
"As a matter of fact i do, we are recording the disintegration process of the prototype bombs and canisters that held the virus. These are live recordings from Bylyn JR on Apex-122" Behind Tower a large screen lit up and it showed a number of dwarves carrying black ish purple cannisters into a machine dubbed "the disintigration room" once they left them in the room the corrosive acid and flamethrowers combined with the aging death ray took care of what was left.
"Is there any chance your 'immortal command' may be overpowered?"
"Only when i lose authority within the military side of the faction, wich is very unlikely seeing how i have founded this faction over 3000 years ago."
"how long is the cure expected to take? and when it is designed, will it be deployed galaxy wide?"
"Most likely not, our cure will be ment to specifically target the damage Scythe-145 causes and be mostly useless against other diseases. Therefore it will only be made specifically for those on Scythe-145 itself. Though should an infected person travel off the planet and infect another one, it will definetly be available for free. The research itself is not expected to take terribly long, we have assigned our most capable virologist on the mission."
"How did you not notice the bio weapon being made?"
"In the immortals, all of the immortal legends can make decisions without having to consult me. This is mostly to speed up decisions such as the teleport tech we are going to share with another faction. But it has led to tragedies such as this one."
For a few more hours, Tower answered more questions the journalists may have had.. |

| The Following hour an intergalactic message went out. "The immortals are inviting other faction representatives to come over to Apex-122 and look through the immortal warehouses to confirm the weaponry regarding the Scythe-145 plague is gone. Scythe-145 is open for visit as well for people to verify the labs that are working on a cure to see the lack of zombie virus weaponry. Security is being kicked up highly and everyone is welcome." |

| First to arrive was an Imperial fleet consisting of 11 Vu'ury class Frigates,21 Drak destroyers and 30 Pherix V-5 Corvettes.An large fleet for good reason as it was carrying several diplomats,some from the Court and others from the Legion with one robed figure from the Serpentum Bio-Corps.
The Imperial fleet kept formation their shields raised but weapons powered down as they hailed Apex-122 on an open comms channel.
"Attention....This is the 8th Fleet requesting permission to access Apex-122."
Among the VIPs was Baron Beliq Imar {The same baron from Omega}, Lord-General Silvaar, Legate Skart Ma'zz,Count Daksus Cras'sus and Lord-Scholar Umra. Alongside them was an full squad of Zikah guards armed with Vanaksite spears ready to give their lives should the Immortals dishonour themselves with an ploy.
The group was mostly silent trying to banish their anger before meeting the Immortals again,some distasteful looks would pass towards the Baron....He was already unpopular among the Court and leadership despite his recent success in regards to meeting the Nypherians.
"Remember not to surrender Lord-Baron...I'm sure the Zodarrin can be quite intimidating but don't worry we have your back." said the Legate jokingly to humiliate the baron further. |

| The baron was the first of other factions to come visit, and despite the denial of the treaty they were still welcomed heartfully on Apex 122. Viktor looked over the crowd and recognized the baron and remembered him from Omega and personaly went over there to great him. From the distance he could hear Viktor's low, loud voice. "AH! My friend! it's been too long!"
It didnt take long for Viktor to become visible as he towered out over the crowd while making his way to the baron. |

| This press conference was a complete farce in any sense of the word. As justified as it was why the Immortals were bothering to placate the slack jawed fools of the galaxy was beyond her. They should have just released a message saying "we won't use the parasite" and then leave it at that without taking any further questions. Speaking of questions once Tower had finished answering his questions, one of which had incorrectly answered, Saryn stepped up walking towards the podium. She cleared her throat and spoke into the microphone an apparent edge of irritation underlying her voice. " Allow me to rectify one piece of misinformation presented by our host. The cause of this "zombie outbreak" was not in fact a virus. It was a parasite." Of course that aroused numerous different members of the audience into asking how Saryn knew this. This was not the first time she had been at a press conference but it still frustrated her immensely. " My name is Saryn the head of the research team that investigated the outbreak on Scythe-145 and developed the cure. I also performed the first autopsies." She sighed to herself realising that now she had stepped forth and admitted her part in the development of the cure she would be subject to a lot of further questions. Again the crowd gathered before the podium began to speak again asking question after question of Saryn which she answered with self-controlled irritation. A lot of the questions were rather unrelated ones asking Saryn for her opinion on the Immortal's place in the galaxy or inquiring about any other projects she might have been working on. Those kinds of questions were ignored due to their irrelevancy answered only with a piercing glare. That was when the best question all evening was asked: "how does the parasite reproduce?" Saryn looked across the room towards the male that had answered the question. He was apparently just a normal reporter from a small scale news-station but despite that he had still asked a very good question. "[b]From field observations and the result of the autopsies the parasite first assumes influence over the host by embedding itself in the limbic system and then extending tendrils down to the Amygdala to influence the host's fight or flight response. With that done it, like many parasites, prepares to reproduce by growing eggs which are stored in the throat. This allows the eggs, which have rudimentary locomotion, to dislodge themselves from the throat and get expelled out coming into contact with the skin. From there they use the bite wound of their host to infect their victim and grow to maturity in the blood vessels. Upon reaching maturity they ride the blood vessels to the brain, latch on and grow to the final stage of their life span which is where the cycle starts again. Hopefully that would appease a few people's concerns not that Saryn really wanted to. |

| Among the roaring ocean of questions given by the sea of reporters,was the sudden roar for silence.At the end of the room near the entrance stood several reptilian guards clad in alabaster-white armour,they kept tight grips on their energy spears as the Imperial emissaries entered the room grinning at the sea of reporters in front of them.
"Look at this rabble Lord-General....." The legate whispered.
Behind them stood Viktor and the yellow-scaled Varanus that stepped forward bowed before giving his questions with a firm yet commanding voice.
"Greetings Zodarrin,I am Lord-General Silvaar of the Serpentum Legion.....My associates and I have been ordered by his Imperial majesty to attend this press conference as it is an concern for our own people." The robed lizard stepped forward standing next to him before he continued.
"Let me be clear to you,the relationship between the Imperium and the Immortals is strained as it is,and while we understand the need to develop new defenses the nature of this particular weapon is.....Abhorrent.....The virus seems to be aimed towards human transmission......Yes the Reich is an force consisting of mainly humans,but have you ever considered that 11% of the Imperial population is also human.....And not just us,several worlds in the projected sphere of conflict we devised will also be affected by such an weapon......And more importantly since the nature of this weapon is parasitic removal of it would require an massive amount of medical resources which in turn would rather be used in an war effort.....Quite simply the civilians caught inbetween this war will suffer regardless......We are glad that the Immortals have come to their senses.
The General then changed his poise.
"However this course of action shouldn't have happened in the first place......If your leader cannot issue control over his own forces then why have such an leader in the first place? The freedom exercised by your "legends" puts us all at risk.....But more importantly the first to suffer will be your own citizenry."
The Lord Scholar then raised his voice.
"It's quite interesting how this parasite affects the Kormatak...the eh limbic system,but all Imperial records show that parasites such as these cannot evolve naturally,external interference is the major concern from the Bio-Division because if another force caused this parasite to be....What then prevents them from doing it again?"
The Lord Scholar then activated an data sphere that hovered above his hooded horned head.The sphere then projected an holographic image of the parasite.
"I've observed this fascinating anomaly for several cycles now,despite the skill and resources available we have been able to create a slow toxin that can affect the parasite without harm done to the infected.Of course this will be given to the Immortals...Under Imperial watch...To ensure the total removal of the infected." |
