Starr: Why do you want our power, Addonus?
logan: because it's something we both have in common starr. i, like you, want... everything.
Altor: (in the background) The fleshling-
Starr: (raises her hand for silence)
And what gave you that idea?
logan: you are a morin. at least you were. i want to experience the powerr you insist on neglecting.
Starr: I do not neglect my heritage... I embrace it. But even power has to have limitation, Addonus. Surely you would know that.
logan: and after all our time together, i'd expect you to know that i like my power to be without limits.
Starr: (soft chuckle) I would agree to such a trade... but there is one problem...
logan: you are afraid what i would do to them. and, again, rightly so.
Starr: That and you don't understand...
Our power cannot be transferred from a Morin to one without Morin blood. It seems to have a mind of it's own and must be controlled by a very powerful being.
Morin children when they are born have weak minds and cannot control this and so are placed in something like a statis by the mother, causing them to lose their power until they are of a certain age.
logan: call me desparate but what about an injection? i see what it's like to be a morin, you see what it's like to be a symbiote... a tradeoff of sorts.
Starr: You don't need to give me anything, Addonus, except your alliance, obedience, and loyalty... I will have my Vertos create a chip. This 'chip' will give you the power and free-will of a Morin Royal. You will see like a Morin sees, you will move as a Morin moves... you will do everything just like you would if you were a Morin.
I'll even throw in your own Verto so you can see what it's like having someone react to your every movement... victory or failure.
logan: sounds like a pretty good deal... but i have a better one; how about i give every vertos the flipper (holds up middle finger to screen) and i just take the chip.
Altor: Pathetic fleshling! Stand in front of-
Starr: (holds Altor back) Fine.
Altor: What!?
logan: give me the when and where and i'll be there.
Starr: Wait... my end of the deal isn't done yet.
(quietly says something to Altor in Kilish)
Altor: (grins)
(walks off)
Starr: You get the finger and the chip... but not before we spike your computer system, grind your pathetic fleet into space dust and kill your men as you watch.
Now, don't even try to fix the spike... it's top of the line. Have fun, Addonus.
Altor: Spiking ass holes!
(Altor spikes Addonus' entire computer system)
logan: (despairs)
Altor: Finally...!
Starr: Come on, Altor... let's join the others.
Altor: Ready, Commander.
alexis: we can't just let them do this!
logan: i should have known.
...
Some planet in the Unknown Regions
...
Contemno: Why do we have to do this?
Venator: 'Cause Commander told us too... now quit complaining. That faster we move the faster we can leave.
Contemno: Wait... incoming transmission.
Starr: (says something in Kilish)
Venator: Right on it.
(shuts off com)
Well, you wanted some action... let's get to it.
Contemno: All right!
logan: i know what i have to do. mission, do we still have communications?
mission: on a low frequency.
logan: give me the best possible signal.
mission: alright, you're on.
logan: listen to me; i don't know what your quarrel is with me but i have another deal; you let all these people go in exchange for me. no chip, no finger. just me. you can do whatever you want with me. please.
