Paradigm Mine

Our Expanding Universe

The galaxy at large consisted of countless life forms. Relegated into perhaps the unknown section of species was; whatever Zyphr was. She was raised as a Laquin. Yet, she could induce fear in a target of her choice and paralyze them.  Something that only pure bred Laquins could do. Her Atomic Manipulation abilities had greatly increased with precision and the strength.

As an ability specifically; she could sense atoms or the absence of atoms. Being a healer and a damage dealer was a strange balance, but she had a surprising way of catching her closest friends doubting her.

She cleared her head and breathed the last breath of fresh air. Her helmet engulfed her head as her silver eyes stared towards her ships docking ring. The Loud hiss and creaking servos engaging, dimmed as the Helmet sealed. A heads up display enabled and became part of her vision. This HUD was linked into the Galactical Wide Mainframe. Every planet that was associated with The Nevick empire used this Data AR overlay.

As a hunter this facilitated her to scan thousands of faces at any given time. It also allowed the citizens of the empire to scan her helmet design. When they did, her identity was "Hand of The Emperor." No one had this title besides her. She refused to be escorted by the emperors men; so she walked alone.

So naturally; As she walked the courtyards, the crowds would allow her to pass. Parting in some cases. She wore a mirrored faceplate, with a cloak overtop of her helmet. She walked with presence but she did not sacrifice her grace.

She arrived in the great halls of New Ridian; Her adoptive father had an important role: He was The Emperor. It was for this reason she had been summoned. Zyphr strolled her way towards the emperor's chambers. The walls were not decorated with great wars or great defeats. Rather; Every planet of their Empire was represented by some Memento or picture. All given at times of peace.

She approached him from behind and her helmet folded from sight. Face to face with the Emperor, even if he was her father; was still a privilege. He heard her approaching;

"I was wondering if you were awake." His voice echoed in the deep empty halls.

Some walls had video feeds coming in from planets or even helmet cams of High ranking Hunters. She was still new to seeing all of these things.  Almost losing herself in thought she closed her mouth and brought her eyes back to her father. Knowing him she chose to be sarcastic. He was well aware she had been sick.

"3 weeks of sleeping I hope does the trick." She smirked a grin at him with a slight bow.

"3 weeks?" he turned and faced her. He hinted at error.

He had eyes that seemed to smile when he smiled. His navy blue eyes were wide with life. He although had a high rank- was wearing a simple uniform. Nothing Glitzy or glamourous. The only symbol or Glyph he wore was; the only symbol no one else could. The Signet of the Emperor was his personal coat of arms.

She thought for a few moments; as doubt worried her, "How long have I been sleeping?" She seemed slightly concerned. He chuckled dryly and said "You know you got a fancy AI computer over there in your ship and you don't know?" She knew he was teasing her.

The Emperor had been working on something when she walked in.  As this was now apparent by his posture and the fact that there was forging equipment on the table behind him; she tried to peer over his shoulder.

"Sir, how long have I been sleeping?" She rolled her eyes annoyed he was being childish Yet trying to see what he was doing. She knew this man well enough that when he was stressed he often teased her the hardest. It was something she loved about him. As it was never done in hurt or anger. She waited for his response.
