“off the shoulder of Orion Frozen deep in silent sleep her husband lies dreaming…”

Epilogue

If one would look to the Hyades in the night sky they would never catch a speck of the UNSM[United Network Of Space Marines] warship Durandal. Or that in the personnel cryro chamber there sits sleeping silent unmoving…born in a military lab off the outpost of alpha prime…off the shoulder of Orion. Trained on planet after planet….war after war. Here sleeps an unnamed soldier…known only by his number. 27…whose red lights blink and beep…day in…day out…save for the ten thousand sleeping soldiers on board. There are only machines to keep and repair the Durandal. The Durandal has kept a constant orbit around the sun alderbran…cycle after cycle year after year…still…cryo chambers 27’s light go off and on…always keeping the same pattern…and has done so for the past 58,074 earth years and will continue to do so until the great Durandal is once again called into action…though that will never happen…humankind has drifted farther and farther into the depths of the universe….number 27 smiling…forever frozen in a smile, can do nothing but dream…never to wake….never to die.

“and there the old ones tread unseen…primal and serene “
H.P. Lovecraft

“That which is not dead shall eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.”
H.P. Lovecraft

And so began the story of the vagrant wanderer.

From The Documents BOOK.DOC

“I dreamed a dream I dreamed I dreamed.”

This time…this place…as if in a dream…
Why should dreams be as they are?
I am supposed to live this life to the fullest…because in the next I will be stripped from my family and put into training program to create a soldier that surpasses all other before…after the surgery I would be more than human…much more than human.

This titanium rod in my leg is the constant reminder of that next life. I will serve with honour, my father…he never told me anything…. but I learned…I always told myself to fight but to fight with honour.

She and I and over fifty others…they froze us and threw us unto the stars in case we lost the war and left us alone in the dark…Until the Ark reached a suitable planet. The Computer would then wake us…So that we may see for the first time Humanity’s new Home.

But the Artificial Intelligence designed to keep us safe he sided with the enemy…and shut our life support systems down.

The humans knew this might happen and a System-Peril was initiated…waking me, for I carried within me all the destructive knowledge of mankind…from my cold sleep. And I Shut the A.I. Down…but now there was no one at the bridge. It was then I read the logs that Earth was destroyed nearly two hundred years ago…that there was no home any more.

I had to survive…we…had to survive…so I reconfigured the system to reroute the ships cognitive functions through my brain for only I had a neuro-net-junction…though I would sleep and dream, I would also be there monitoring the stars and planets trying to find a new home.

She lay there dreaming…still in the darkness. I was awake…and then even still…I dream. As the years passed I watch her smile in the darkness of her hushed casket.

“For 14,938 years…The man dreamed and dreamed of other men in other times. Doing what he had done in life…to fight and serve…for he was earths finest Soldier.
Until one day…the ships systems sprung to life…this would only happen when a suitable planet was found. First the ship would awake the Female…and after she had read the ships logs and verified with the attending A.I. the features of the this new Eden…she would then awake the security officer.”

…She looked upon his face and smiled…for he was to be her life partner…
