  Chapter 35

  The Flagship Avenger was completed, along with an entire war fleet. Countless of the Kher’Somaaw weapons were mounted on the ships and they prepared to fly out. Khrrn sat on the bridge of the Avenger, with his heart burning black with revenge. He had been in the 30th century for over two years.

  The fleet had taken time to complete construction, even with the assistance of the Kher’Somaaw’s relics. Its crown jewel, the Flagship Avenger had taken months alone. Khrrn had wanted its every last detail to be perfect. It was to be his chariot on the path to war.

  Khrrn now wanted to go and face the humans head-on. He would go and trample all over their glory, but he did not want to engage the pathetic scrub that was presently the young Imperium.

  He would instead travel back to the 40th century, from whence he had come, and crush the humans’ bloated heads. After that, he would settle in the 40th century and live in the galaxy as it should be, with all its history intact, but with a new chapter added to its end: the fall of the Imperium. The massive fleet prepared itself to jump from Skyrrnian space, and the second android complied, having no better option, this time guarded closely by scientists who had studied the device intensely for the past two years. He could not pull the same ruse his counterpart had pulled.
