Chapter 2 – Revelations
Drake woke out of unconsciousness the second time in short time. As he sat up he wondered how he was still alive. He clearly remembered the Snake-Man that was firing with his staff- weapon at him. He looked around the Room and searched for enemies.
The Command Center Looked like it belonged to a relatively small ship. There were four Stations and what looked like the Captain’s chair, which were mostly in good shape, the fifth station had a big hole in it which looked like it was caused by the staff weapon. He found the Snake-Man lying motionless in front of it. Drake made sure that there were no more enemies in the room and approached the lying snake man. When he came close to the Snake-Man he smelled the stench of burned flesh and as he turned him over, he saw the damage done by the plasma bolts on the Snake-Man. The front part of his Armor was completely melted and he could see the burned and undefinable lump of flesh that was the snake man. To Drakes surprise the person inside the armor looked nothing like a Snake. The Person looked almost human but was more muscular and bigger than a normal Human. Remembering a TV show he watched some years ago and was pretty hyped about, he called the species Jaffa until he could find out their real Name. But in contrast to the TV show this species had no symbiont pouch. After verifying that the Jaffa was dead, he dragged the body into a corner of the Command center and used his left arm to pick up its staff weapon.
…
Wait! His left arm? He could vaguely remember it being blown off by a shot of the staff weapon. But it somehow was attached again, didn`t feel limb ore unnatural. Now that he thought about it all of his injuries he got in the Fight were healed as if they never existed, not even scars were left. After he thought a wile about it, he came to the conclusion that it was because of his genetic ´´improvements´´. Since a while now he wondered why the Aliens took the risk on experimenting with Genetics and creating something that could wipe the whole crew out.

He focused his attention at the consoles and tried to access them. After a while he succeeded at accessing the console he was working on, just to discover that most of the important data was corrupted. The only things he could find out that that ship was on a exploration mission and because of some incident almost all of the crew died and the Ship was thrown at the at the unexplored other side of the Galaxy where they found Earth just a few ´´Jumps´´, whatever that was, away and tried to mix their DNA with human DNA in hopes to gain immortality and someday return to their home.
He looked at the destroyed fifth console and frowned. It was most likely the data storage unit of the Command center.
´´Shit, just as I found out incredible things, that fucking Jaffa hat to ruin my day even as he died. Well the data in the Labs should be fine though. I hope at least.´´
As Drake thought that, he started run to the Labs and was relieved that he could at least access the data in the data storage units for their research.
He even found a picture and specifications of the ship he was currently on.

´´Heh, with this I could take over the world! ´´
…
…

´´Hmmmm``
``Well, It´s worth a try. Without the most emotions I feel that I bind myself no longer to Human morals. My old life was shitty anyways so why not. It’s going to be a lot of Work but with this Technology, especially cloning it is going to be Possible. Hah I’m going to fulfill one of my delusional dreams that I had in Puberty and Rule over a Space empire and create a Harem with alien girls!

OK, now that I think about it that really is a little bit crazy but I’m not even sure if I’m Human anymore so fuck morals I´m going to rule the Galaxy!!!
…
Or die trying.
Hmmm, maybe my urge to rule and enslave is a result of the alien DNA?``
He thought about such things as he walked in a room which looked nearly the same as the genetics Lab he was imprisoned in.
There was, strapped to a table, a woman that was drugged and in a state of artificial coma who had green Skin. She had shoulder long red-brown hair, brown eyes, full green lips and a body that most models would die for. The only clothing she had on were camouflage Hotpants and a camouflaged Bikini top and some sort of upper arm bracelet that looked like a spiral.
Drake was instinctively drawn to touching the Bracelet. When he touched it he felt it connecting to his mind.
While he started to wake her up he thought that maybe she would instantly attack him and used the shackles, which he intended to use on the Jaffa to capture him, to confine her more tightly. After about an hour had gone by, the woman opened her eyes and he instantly felt something invading his mind.

Rune
In the world of Rune, there are two kinds of Players. The Crafters, and the Fighters. Fighters level their magic power, fueling the runic items from their own bodies, while crafters use the runes they bring back to develop powerful items using their knowledge of the electronic-like system. Not everything stays that simple, though, and Rune is no exception. Within each region, a number of guilds have sprung up, operating as the unaccountable vanguard of defense for the besieged cities. They don't care to deal fairly, and nobody else has the power to do much about it. (Harem is tagged but it's honestly polyamory. I hate the word harem but given that some people would interpret it as such, in it goes.)

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
