Kitera could be seen in a lab working on a collosi it was his own personal collosi, space was not a safe place, battles could break out at anytime , they were traveling towards the most popular planet in this star system, it had a single ruling power a church , led by a false god , a god produced by guided mutation, he was a fallen noble from the centre of universe during the great expansion, he lost the battle for the throne , they were many more like him who lost and ran away to start afresh, guided mutation could allow an ordinary human to possess powers the should not have and harness energies in higher dimensions, like faith energy,
The planet was called storm IX, and the name of his ruler was unknown but everyone knew him as the Great storm god , storm rider was his nickname, he could create storms and turbulence in space and his environment his mutation allowed him to get in touch with the dao of chaos , he claimed this planet and established his rain with an iron fist , he was the single most powerful being ij this solar system, alk the powers and houses , had come together to wage war against him and lost, the only reason they were not wiped out was because it seems storm rider had no interest in taking over their planets , instead he founded a church and spread it all over the system, the worshippers of storm rider could be found in every planet, churches had been built for him all over the system, most pirates prayed to him for safe passage thtough the chaotic cosmos, they believed he could keep them safe, the very belief in the power of storm rider was one of the sources of his power that allowed him to harness the dao to grant their prayers , using their faith as the fuel to power this miracle's
The storm rider ruled this planet with an open arms, everyone was welcome,the good ,the bad , the ugly , it had become a central hub for everyone in this star system, the good the bad ,the ugly and the beautiful, aliens and humans alike , the diversity in this planet was striking to see , there were billions of races in the universe but less than a million of this races had crossed into a star faring race, among this races that had began to roam the stars a fair amount of them could be found here, for it's location at the edge of the universe, the storm IX was the planet farthest from the star of this solar system, it was also the largest in this system , it looked blue and gold if you were looking at it from space it had 3 large moons which had been converted into space towers , and when the energy from the three space towers combine it forms a space gate that can be used to travel to other star system, it was the only planet in this star system with a space gate,
The ruling houses, organizations and empires in this star system could only look up to , storm IX , Storm ix was rich in mineral resources, metals, and natural blue crystal gas , and aquatic life forms , it had the largest ocean in the star system, it was always winter on storm IX, its was a beautiful sight to see , the planet was so far from the sun , the only weather they could have was light snow and heavy snow, a lot of people believed the weather was like this because of the presence of storm rider on this planet, storm IX was not suitable for agriculture, so all the food here was imported, so much food was being imported everyday so trade was always going on, the planet was greatly endowed with all the raw materials needed for travel, I guess nature must always find a balance, you can't have it all,
Storm IX had no ruling government one might think you could do whatever you want in some sense it was true , but that is as long as you don't break any of the rules of the church of storm, and paid your tithe of course, ten percent of every profit made from trade on this planet must be paid to the church , ten percent might seem small but if you look at the amount of trade going on in this planet you would be amazed , it was a multi star system trade hub , traders , manufacturers, pirates , Kingdoms from their star system Z 009029 , and other neighboring star system all came here for trade, the latest development in tech and research could always be found here , most scientist preferred to live here because of easy access to materials at cheaper rates .
The Carmine black collar Trade Gang led by kron were on their way to storm IX to drop their latest haul to drop their haul and recuperate, probably recruit a few members, their tech department was lacking a lot of staffs for some key role , especially now that they have a head scientist/ chief technician to head it, kitera had not been idle since he joined , no one made life difficult for him they all knew the importance of a first grade engineer and they also feared kron and what he might do to them if he heard they messed up , and maybe they feared kitera , they had all heard how he killed one of them and there was no punishment, what if he killed them no one will complain, they all wanted to stay as far away from him as possible
In the workshop electrical sparks could be heard and seen flashing from a dissembled collosi on the work board which was the size of a tennis court, "fuck" kitera said, " everything here is old and faulty, can't even stand a little upgrade without over loading", kitera had been tasked to look into and upgrade the collosi model that was been used by the pirates, which he did, he created a model that could hit 4 times harder and 3 times faster and could release electrical blast at a 50 percent higher voltages but ran on 2 times the energy per second and had a shorter stay time, in his eyes it was worth the trade off, he was a strong believer in the motion that every machine should be measured by their maximum potential and he always tried to get the money out of a machine as far as the trade off was fair, who could have thought that ,the collosi users by the pirates would be so badly maintained with a lot of poor wiring , the flow of current was severely faulty and a sligh increase in the flow of current will lead to sparks and if it's really increased by 50% it will explode immediately, he was trying to create working collosi not bombs
Kitera pushed away the connection hub in front of him " this are all a piece of junk" , "I can't possibly rework on 300 colossi, this things are so big I will die before I am done", kitera had made up his mind he would rather buy a new model and modify it , he had not reach the stage where he could design a colossi from the ground up , he would have to go through a lot more studies and practice. There was no hope of reworking on this colossi in this lifetime for him , i need to convince kron to sell all the old colossi and release funding for new colossi and a complete upgrade to the labs and workshop or he thought as he removed his work coat and dropped everything and worked out of the lab , he was done for the day , week ? He thought kitera was sure how long he had been in the workshop, "I need sleep " he said out loud without knowing as he left the workshop.
