August 17 3842 Earth

The techs of the CGC in North America had been busy with their duties as they had been managing the Acu's going through the gate to Steven II while the only remaining Acu on station was under repairs and under investigation of tampering, the Acu was Corporal Inferno's it had been at half structural integrity but was unable to continue self-repairs due to the quantum core being damaged from a disruptor T3 artillery shot to his flank. The techs had been more preoccupied to notice the data mine in progress from the Acu, Inferno had accessed his acu and used HQAI to acquire all the data they had from their journey to Procyon but all the data was erased from when they had gone to Procyon, so he had HQAI end the data mine as all relevant data was not of great importance as HQAI returned from the acu via its ability to travel through any electrical system.

As HQAI moved through the inner working of the UEF HQ towards the Tribunal of the UEF parliament were the newest details of the war effort on the UEF border systems, HQAI has been at this for years ever since being joined with Sean 2 centuries ago the Tribunal of UEF leaders including current President Riley meet with General of the UEF forces with the latest reports and for questioning of some sort?

"General Clarke how accurate is the latest reports?" President Riley asked with his booming voice throughout the Tribunal room. The 3 leading members of the UEF looked onto her as if she was nothing but a mech marine before a titan, but with age came wisdom and Samantha Clarke had both as she had earned her rank and had meet with the Tribunal many times before usually only 1 was present as the other 2 were usually busy with their duties.

"They are quite accurate Sir. The Aeon have been launching a full out siege on Steven II as well as the neighboring planets in system the reinforcements we sent are holding them for now but it will be quite some time before Commander Dreads and his strike force are able to purge the Aeon from Steven II." Clarke stated as she addressed the Tribunal most seemed quite interested at the fact the Aeon had sent so many forces to Steven II, all except Riley.

"Interesting and what of our KIA Corporal Inferno why has he now returned to us from Percies IV…last we heard the planet had been conquered by the Cybrans and he was marked as dead." Riley stated as his colleagues consorted the data they had from the reports on Steven II.

"We had lost contact with the Percies IV due to a quantum Hurricane in that system as to the means of his survival I am not sure but we still control the system since he resurfaced." Clarke answered him with a stare that showed she had no other relevant data on him.

"Very well…now then onto the reason we are here the solution to the Infinite War Dr.Sweney said it can be done…it can be done can't it?" Riley asked the General as he was uncertain of this solution, as it was a great gamble…one that could end this war but could lead to their demise.

"Yes I believe it can and with the data that Dr.Sweney has reassured me that with enough time and resources they can do it." Clarke stated with a poker face that even the Tribunal couldn't break.

"How long will it take to build if we can get the materials?" One of the Consular of the Tribunal spoke out to the data as he was going over it with his chest computer.

"2 and half years…at best with no major setbacks we can get it no earlier than that." Clarke stated immediately as she knew that 2 and a half years was a long time but this was had been going for over 1000 years. The Consolers almost fell back out of their seats at the time frame they needed for this plan to work and not to even add in the fact the resource needed to be diverted to this plan.

"Tw…two and a half years…that is a very risky plan to build this project…but what other plans do we have, we have been losing a few systems on the edge of Aeon space but the Cybrans had taken a few of the Aeons while they assaulted our systems…we are stuck in a stalemate as we cannot muster enough forces to take the planets and hold them." Riley stated as he recovered from the sheer shock of this plan.

"We can have no other plans that can be effective; this will win us the war in one swift action. The Scientists have dubbed this project as "Black Sun" as you know it will deliver quantum energy through the gate network and destroy any Cybran or Aeon planet…they state that estimated ability to make this feasible in theory are 5 months." Clarke stated to the Tribunal if they could agree to this plan then most of the actions the UEF would take would be defensive actions on most of their worlds and only some massed operations against Cybran and Aeon forces.

"Very well…does the Tribunal agree with this course of action?" Riley asked the two other counselors', a brief moment of thought and they had their answer. "Then so be it the Black Sun shall raise with full approval of the UEF military." Riley stated with his hands into the air with emphasis on the faith that was the UEF's plan.

"Excellent I shall deliver the news to Dr.Sweney and his team to further their work on quantum delivery and gate algorithms." Clarke stated as the consolers faced-palmed at the way Riley delivered his line he always was an enthusiastic one.

"Very well this Tribunal hearing is dismissed." Riley stated as he and the others left the room. HQAI had seen enough and this had peek its interest as this plan would end the Infinite War and would bring this back to Inferno for discussion on the matter, as HQAI moved throughout the system it eventually ended up into the QUC and used it to get a straight link into inferno's AI implants.

"Hmmm interesting seems the UEF have decided to actually go with Dr.Sweney and his plan…not surprising I helped Sweney with his research on Quantum delivery through the gate network." Sean thought to himself as he was incarcerated for suspected infiltration by the Cybrans.

"Ah HQAI what is the current status of my acu and my expected release?" he stated as he watched the walls of his cell it had been a while since he saw one of the cells he would pass everyone once in a while where he saw some of the prisoners the UEF would acquire, he would constantly be questioned and hated by Cybran prisoners he passed being called a traitor to his own kind but this didn't faze him at all for the 225 years he had been alive in this war had made him more hardened to the exterior and only his close friends would see him as he would normally be a big "Fluffy" happy guy…most of the time.

"The general is coming to see you most likely for your release and your acu is currently only at half structural integrity the shields are holding fine but the Quantum generator can't give enough to finish auto-regeneration…it would seem that all the technicians are busy with the Battle of Steven II still, commander Fluffy Dreads is on planet leading the offensive." HQAI stated as they could hear the footsteps down the long empty corridor.

"Well then…I'm sure our dear friend Fluffy is eating some Tacos and burritos and kicking some Aeon as…I'm sure he will push them back he and I have fought many time together against the Aeon." Sean though as the footsteps stopped in front of his cell were the good General Clarke and two UEF soldiers in Medium armor stood weapons at the ready to gun him down at the slightest movement.

"Corporal Inferno you are hereby relieved of active duty until further notice you are to stay on planet." Clarke stated from behind the shield and bars of his cell.

"Understood Ma'am." Inferno stated with a military voice as the shield and bars went down, the guards still at the ready to shoot the "Chip-head" just waiting for a reason but they knew this guy was one of the best commanders they had and one of the oldest. As they guards lowered their weapons Inferno stepped towards the general gave a Salute and left towards the exit near the transport hub.

"Well that went well…I think." HQAI stated as they left from the facility and were waiting for the air bus to get to his home…if his home was still standing that is.

August 18 3842 Earth

The Air bus stopped near one of the older districts of Berlin where Inferno's home was, it was still a busy place as always with all the structures and streets designed to accommodate Acu warfare, as he walked towards his home a skyscraper style structure with about 389 floors excluding the roof he was eyed by many of the civilians with looks of discuss as he was allowed to live inside the UEF, when he was about to turn the corner of the street to his home a fist came and connected to his hand as his enhanced reflexes and body were much more tuned than that of a UEF civilian.

"Why the Fuck are you here? "Chip…ch…ip Head" The drunken man slurred as the stench of alcohol was all over him, this obvious racists man was in no condition to be held accountable to his actions so Inferno let the man go while he headed towards his home's entrance.

"Ye…ah Fucking Chip head go and fucking…die you…abomination!" The man slurred as inferno entered his home.

"Another asshole of a UEF civilian…they will never change at this rate." Sean stated to himself as he went up the elevator to his apartment…well the hole building was vacant except for him as all the UEF residents couldn't stand sharing a building with a Cybran… so he pretty much owner the place…he had altered the structure of his floor to turn it into a one giant apartment 70 years ago.

"Ah home…still the same way we left it…" The last part held an air of sadness as his implants began to activate trying to suppress the feelings he had, he turned them off as he needed to see to reassure himself it happened and it wasn't all a dream.

*Flashback*

The day was still young as Inferno sat in the apartment he was in now where he could hear and smell the scent of delicious food and could see someone he knew.

"It will be ready soon, can you go get him please." She stated as she was busy with the preparations so Sean did as she asked and went and got him from his room, where he was busy with his toys playing with no cares in the world, as he picked him up the boy started to poke at the circuits that pulsed a light blue and purple mixture as he was brought to the dining room.

As they all sat were about to sit down together they shared a smile and Sean gave a kiss to her as he passed her it was a loving kiss of something that had been there for years.

*End of Flashback*

The tears that ran down his face were evidence of the pain that he had from his memory of what had transpired years ago of him with people he cared deeply of, now he was alone in this place of memories of love and happiness now a place of sadness and pain to him.

"You still feel the pain of times long past yet you will always stand at the edge of insanity, yet you persevere through the times and the hate of those that you protect." HQAI said as Inferno entered the living room where he sat down in front of the Television where he watched the latest news of what was happening on the fringes of the UEF border worlds as the core worlds were most secure of the UEF worlds having seen many years of conflict from the Infinite war and had long since been heavily fortified.

As the news went by the day seemed to slow as he went through his memories of the past and his life of being the sole UEF with cybran tech implants, the place was quiet as he got head-butted by his two cats both twin orange/white, named Phatso and Screech, as he came out of his relapse in his mind he was on his back lying down watching TV with his two fluffy cats purring in content as they missed their father.

"Hey boys yeah miss me it seems…Fluffy had been here taken care of yeah for me…I'll be sure to invite him over for some drinks and a barbeque." Sean stated with the thought of seeing his dear old friend…he was only 69 still considered young by most standards but then again he was 225 and still looked like he was in his early twenties.

"HQAI why don't you go and play for a bit not like we will be doing anything anytime soon so relax the data we acquired is quite interesting but right now we are home…here is where the war is not important." Sean stated to his AI who seemed to be in relative wonder in why he would ask this…but then again it wasn't going to argue as it went off onto the extranet and decided to play some online games…odd part about it was the all civilians in each faction were able to play the same games online.

As time went by Sean got up got food out of the Fridge…still stocked to the brim…as fluffy had devoured most of it over the few months he was staying here…fluffy had asked if he wanted to share the place since he owned the building as the only resident. Sean was thinking of taken the offer since some company would be nice from the rather empty building…thought he always felt as though as something was just screwing around with his life.

IN Unexplored reach of space

"Well he seems he is changing quite well with how I have everything going…I wonder what happened to the others I was dealing with. Oh well." The voice stated as it went about its business.

As the night grew on Inferno decided it was time to get some sleep and see as to what tomorrow would bring. Unaware of HQAI's where a bout's he figured it was fine to leave it until tomorrow, said AI was busy trying to find some parts of a data stream it had been looking up on while owning some knobs in an online match with the ORKS, what the AI was searching for none knew but it seemed this AI was more sentient then anything…but to itself it was just busy doing what it though.
