Somewhere deep in the galaxy, at the edge of the milky way a big black ship was floating silently.
There were no engines on and the ship seemed to be devoid of life.
Suddenly the darkness surrounding the ship was illuminated by a purple light that arrived in a flash.
Slowly the light compressed into a single little ball of light and even though the light wasn't surrounding the ship any longer, the darkness of space was pushed back even more by this little light.
For a moment, that could've been an eternity as well, the light just floated in front of the ship.
It seemed like it was waiting for, or thinking about something.
Then it shot directly into the black ship.
The ships interior was the same as the first impression suggested, devoid of any life.
The only thing remotely similar to living things was the small purple ball of light that wandered through the pitch-black corridors.
After an unknown amount of time and countless dark tunnels, the light stopped in front of a gold and black container with a tinted window.
A silhouette could vaguely be seen inside the container.
The purple light ball carefully flew higher, until it was directly in front of the shadowy creatures head inside the tank.
The light intensity was sharply raised, as if someone turned on a strong flashlight, but the light didn't just fall in a straight line, but illuminated the whole room.
What was omitted by the darkness before was instantly revealed.
Hundreds, if not thousands of similar containers with tinted windows stood in rows against the wall.
What seemed like a small room with only one container in the middle before was now revealed as a giant hall filled with black containers.
Only the one tank in front of the purple light ball distinguished itself from the others, because of the fine golden carvings all over the surface of it.
As if the purple light ball was content with its choice, it slowly flew into the container, as if the tinted windows didn't exist.
It was now face to face with a being no civilization of the human generation had ever seen, or even heard about.
A tall naked body was revealed. The color of the creatures skin was a light gray and the body was the embodiment of perfection in human standards. Strong but lean muscles became visible, the body seemed to be ready to fight as soon as it was released from the tank.
It looked extremely similar to humans, but instead of nose and eyebrows there was a hard black shell or horn like substance that looked similar to a nose guard of the old helmets from earths middle age. Those same horn-like potrusions were also covering the whole back of the hands. The creature had pointed ears closely fitting the head and long white hair. It didn't seem old but rather in the prime of its life.
The purple light ball swiftly flew back in front of the creatures head and remained there.
After a moment of silence a small humming tone appeared in this small black and gold container.
It actually was the exact same humming like the one produced by the power of faith back on earth.
As soon as the humming started, the small purple light ball melted slowly into the creatures head.
The light continued from the head into all the other parts of the body, filling every cell, every atom
with its glorious power.
Slowly but surely the formerly almost dead cells started to reawaken one after another and at the same time the whole ship began to slowly build up power and restart its engines.
More and more cells were replenished, more and more functions of the ship came back online.
It was as if the person in the luxurious tank with tinted windows was connected with the ship. As if they were one.
With the awakening of the cells through the purple power of faith the body went through some changes as well. It slowly grew taller until it was around two meters tall. The height was not the only thing that changed, the muscles perfectly blended with the new body and made it look like an extremely fit two meter tall man with seemingly perfect genes. Together with those fundamental changes, patterns appeared on the skin all over the mans body. His stomach gained six deep black lines, his right upper arm was filled with red moving lines that, after some time, formed into a picture of a Reaper that looked a little different than the metallic creatures that we know them as.
His left upper arm a similar thing happened with blue lines, but the picture at the end depicted a man holding a shield in both hands.
The chest area was a mess of red and blue lines until they settled into a battlefield between the Reaper-like creatures and the creatures with shields.
Once the last colored line stopped moving and the small purple light was completely absorbed into the mans body, his eyes slowly opened.
The right pupils color was a deep purple with a red ring around it, the left pupil had the same color but a blue ring around it. 6 Black lines lead from the colored rings around the pupil directly into the iris, thus forming a pair of eyes never seen before.
With a 'clack' sound the tank opened and the two meters tall, tattooed man stepped out of the capsule.
He carefully tried to see anything in the darkness when suddenly the light turned on and the gigantic hall filled with black containers was once again revealed.
"Where..am I?"
