Unnamed System
(Uriti/Hamoriti location)
âYou will not be granted access to this system.â
âI will have it with or without your assistance,â Nefron told the Oracle. âYour defense mechanisms will be disabled and your files accessed manually if needed. Answer my questions and I will allow you to remain intact and monitoring the Uriti. Failure to comply will mean your destruction.â
The Oracle hesitated the prerequisite 2.2 seconds, then answered per its programming.
âMaintenance of the Hamoriti is my primary task. I am authorized to use all available methods to contain it. Ask your questions, Chixzon.â
âDo you have a message for me?â
âYou were never meant to find this facility.â
âIâm disappointed,â Nefron said honestly. âUsually the Ftrolee like to boast of their accomplishments. Confirm your programming origin.â
âBase program originates from the Ancients. Augmentations were made by the Ftrolee.â
âWhen did the Ftrolee destroy the Ancients?â
Riley, still heavily distracted by his efforts to keep everyone elseâs minds in check, glanced in Nefronâs direction and raised an eyebrow.
âSpecify time units,â the Oracle requested.
âUse mine then,â Nefron instructed, speaking Chixzon instead of English.
âThe Ftrolee conquered the subrace known as the Barnok of the Ancients 6,239,444 years ago.â
âWhy were three additional Uriti added to those captured by the Barnok at a later date?â
âThe Ancients subrace known as Katarsh were annihilated. Their assigned Hamoriti were then transferred to the Barnok for safe keeping.â
âWhich no longer existed.â
âThe Ftrolee utilized the data given to them to arrange the construction of this site and two others utilizing lesser allied races for the construction.â
Nefron turned away from the Oracle and looked at Riley. âLong story short, the Ftrolee, whose weapons you sampled outside, were an ally of the Chixzon when they were conquering the galaxy up until their dominance appeared to be at an end, at which point they turned on us. The Ancients did not accept them into their alliance, but they inserted themselves anyway by killing the local Ancients and posing as them. The Ftrolee are duplicitous, and the Chixzon have known them to do such things before, so this makes sense. They couldnât build this facility themselves, so they gave the knowledge theyâd pilfered from the Ancients to their unknowing allies and had them construct it in their stead with an altered Oracle program.â
âWhy give this Oracle such knowledge?â
âI suspect it has an alternative purpose,â Nefron said, looking back at the floating hologram. âState contingency plans regarding renewed contact with the Ftrolee.â
âFull knowledge of events pertinent to the creation of this facility were embedded so that any Ftrolee recovering possession of the Hamoriti would be aware of what has transpired.â
âThey hid this facilityâs location from the Ancients?â
âCorrect.â
âSo to extort them with that knowledge later?â
âThey wished leverage, thus the sites had to be kept secret.â
âDo you have the locations of any Uriti beyond the three previously stated?â
âNegative. Such knowledge was searched for, but never obtained from the Ancients.â
âBig, fat, bargaining chips,â the mage commented as he stood on Nefronâs right.
âWhat is the last recorded status of the Ancients?â
âOriginal subraces numbered 18. At last knowledge 10 remained intact, with estimates that 3 others were near to falling.
