THE TRANQUILO QUADRANT
PLANET: EOS 4 RUINS
[WITHIN THE STELLAR EQUITY JURISDICTION]
8.4 MILLION LIGHT-YEARS FROM: EARTH
The Emperor stood in the bridge of the mother ship and observed the aftermath of the core extraction.
What remained of the lifeless planet, slowly drifted away in the vast, endless black space. The great deep hole that was created by their weapon left a trail of large chunks of earth behind it. Though he was at a far distance from the planet, the emperor was able to hear the deep sound of the earth cracking, with the colossal rocks slamming into one another in the space.
Then, the cries of death whined into the emperor's head. The sharp, ear piercing screams of the dying specimen. He couldn't tell if they were the screams of the drifting planet, or of its own. Nonetheless, they haunted him.
The emperor was covered in a thin layer of transparent armor that showed hiss bark-like, battle scarred skin. It wore a shiny bronze face guard that allowed his two blue vertical eyes on the right to see through. The being had a bone-like pair of long thin arms and tall legs, but had an abnormal set of wide bony hips and a large, broad chest. A long, dark red cape that was slightly shredded hung from his neck and covered his back. On it, was a black outline of a star.
"Emperor Ra's, the extraction was a success." A fawning being of the same race came and knelt before him. His voice was high pitched and nasal like, and spoke with a pinch of nervousness.
Emperor Ra's snarled and shook his head as he attempted to get rid of the screams. When the screams left his head, the emperor looked at the planet once more before he turned around to overlook his crew.
His crew all knelt before their leader with their heads down. Other than the quiet sounds of the beeping terminals, the bridge was silent.
He acknowledged their loyalty towards him, and turned his attention down to the grunt that knelt before him.
"What are the results?" Emperor Ra's asked, his voice was deep and muffled by the face guard.
Before the engineer could answer, his emperor turned around and coughed violently away from his crew. The emperor pressed his hand against his fluttering chest as his dry coughs echoed throughout the bridge. After a few moments, the coughs settled down, and the pain went away. The Sire turned back around and looked at the grunt, and signaled him to continue.
"We received enough energy to power our engines and weaponry, but I'm afraid that the results weren't accommodating to your needs..." The engineer informed him nervously.
Emperor Ra's could hear the rest of the engineers in the bridge mumble to themselves with worry. He glanced at his stressed crew before he focused on the grunt in front of him.
