Stood in front of the Celestial clock as it was known! The interior of the ‘Portei Semperu’ , had changed to a much larger more spacious interior. Around them the ethereal technology appearing, disappearing or to command as and when required?
The tobot was new. A mobot military and yet meta physical entity. Solid as and when it needed to be or, vanishing into the ether, with almost a blink as one might say of ones eyes. Nodu had been sipping on a Frubu wash, one of his favourites, blackbei, a fruity semi spicy taste to it.
Yie, was nof a fan of such and, preferred her own brewing of a cocktail, that mixed up a variety of fruit.
Squished into a tall glass with what we would know as a long handled tea spoon?
The area where they were sat was another new addition.
Comfortable, plush and yet firm and supportive. “Where are your ? Ears! “ She grinned. I still have them but they now appear to be at my command. He watched as she now showed them for him to reach out to touch them.“NOOO” She blocked his hands.
“Stroking them is a sign of ..” Her eyes flashed and he, kind of guessed what she was about to say.
He apologised. “Before we venture out, I think we need to go over what is acceptable and what is not!
I, am not the least bit concerned, about us being together, transported by who’ knows who, to where we are now, a shift in time and, you have shown me the proof, that the celestial clock now displays. I, know how to read the information from the basic setup, for its use re a ‘Portei Semperu’.
THIS, is far more advanced, but YOU know and understand, it and YOU tell me, somehow, the terminus time
co efficients re shift and other capabilities, have been modified. NOT hacked by you, but someone or something, has, transformed not only the interior with a vast array of new tech and so much more.
Everything we need has been provided. Clothing, food, drink, for our comfort and of course all cleansing plus systems. I understand some of the basic craft operating systems. Others, YOU, are more than aware of, which with both of us pooling our knowledge ? “
Nodu was nodding and at the same time moving closer to the Celestial clock.
Locked within a substantial housing he, had never, seen anything like this, even when inspecting and servicing Portei Semperu inceptor devices. Not even the ones, with several clocks, integrated to boost power outputs, on multi verse ’ away ’ stations.
The need to check where they were, atmospherics and more; ALL necessary before stepping out of the craft was of course NOT something you ignored. Carelessness could cost you your life. NOT that that would happen as they both were more than experienced Sciestes.
Showing Yie, which systems she, needed to check, whilst he did his, proved surprisingly easy. Spending time at the renown ‘Kets Akademy’ Yie understood a lot of the systems she was now running her hands across to produce the information requests that milli seconds later were giving them the results.
Nothing of any real concerns. Pressures, gases and, all of the other essentials, needed for them to feel at ease now known, had them reaching for the extra items they would need. Certain lightweight mobile devices.
Strapped to their wrists.
KJ8E would accompany them. Where they were, was NOT on a planet? They, could see, from the visual scans, space, space and a lot of it and beneath that? A thick atmospheric layer to a planet beneath it?
Nodu had stepped down from the craft.
IT had changed? The outer of it was nothing like they had seen before. What was also noted by Yie was how the structures around them had distinct colours. Their ‘ Portei Semperui’ was mimicking that almost camouflaged against the backdrop of such.
To change the ‘shale’ as it was known re how a ‘ Portei Semperui’ appeared was seldom ever done.
What was, was and yes; it could be modified BUT never DESTROYED. As a terminus it remained for all eternity as was, in whatever form it was originally conceived as such.
Hence. you could. come across. what we would. or could call, redundant Portei Semperu.
The Matsupa, are famous, for creating such and, just abandoning them. TO open one, required their specific codes..
Known only to their Accolytes, their GODs.
Legions of the dammed, known as the ZEALOTS, had their own interverse troop carriers. No need to use a Portei unless ordered by an Accolyte OR an Apposo.. An Aposolite of the faith the true faith. NOT someone anyone would choose to meet. Vicious, savage and born killers.
This appeared to be an orbiting space station, with a large observatory and satellite installation.
A protective shield around it and of course, intact. Fully operational might be debatable and they made sure to carry emergency protective shields that would form around them IF it failed.
The walkway, to what appeared in the distance, a hatchway? Some, of the markings, were ancient but Yie could read them. She spoke several languages. Most of them, fluently. The signs were indicating where they were stood was or had been designated as a space port.
