*drum roll* It's that time again!
HISTORY LESSON:
If anyone cares... The swarm in the past, or at least the way I chose to resolve it, was that they were from a different dimension, and entering our universe through a black hole anomoly in a particular system. My character sacrificed himself in order to seal that portal by creating a star around it to stabilize it. That was when I gave the original sphere to Seraph. The swarm could have come back only by 3 possibilities:
1. The star has degenerated since I took Dolorous' essence from it to power my blade, and so a strain of swarm has managed to get through (heavily unlikely, since they would still be incinerated if they made it out of the inner portal)
2. Another portal has opened, also slightly improbable since they are somewhat predictable (their backstory is essentially that they are battle scars upon the universe from a war long past that my masters were a part of, which open up periodically to unleash great evil. They create an imbalance that the Praetors were destined to correct at the cost of their own self sacrifice) I could make an interesting twist out of that story were it the case, but I lack the time currently. Sorry guys.
3. A strain of the swarm escaped detection and incubated on one or more planets as a ruse to allow them to multiply without you guys detecting them. This should make a decent scenario, if not as interesting.
I'll leave it up to Seraph to decide which one he wants, but I'm out for now. Later all.
