In the year of 2005, Humanity established first contact with a Conglomerate of Alien Species known as “The Odraani”. Finally serving an indubitable answer for the long-debated belief that Humanity was not alone in the universe.
It is now 2015, and the world as we knew it changed very little to some and drastically for others, and for the better? Well, that is determined by who you ask. For someone like Troy Calmwater, he is more than happy to file reports and look busy in the shadow of the Paktum as a Security Site Supervisor for a newly erected Back-Water Spaceport on the very edge of his Reservation in Nixon, Nevada for a hell of a paycheque and an avalanche of personal benefits.
Recently, his workflow has been thrown into disarray with the arrival of a dead ship that has been towed to his Port for observation and study, bringing along thousands of new on-site personnel in its wake.
A Dreadnought known as “The Kamrilli”.
It left a jump in pieces, all hands lost. Nobody, Human or otherwise, has yet to determine the cause of the disaster, let alone share any information with Troy and his crew other than the bare minimum. Most of whom were more than happy to keep their nose in their own business then focus on the morbid reality of the doomed crew and their dreadful demise.
Until tonight.
None of the Cleanup Crew who signed in this morning turned up to sign out, all contact has been severed from their Security outpost and to drive further paranoia home with a vengeance, a Containment Tent has been haphazardly fastened over the entire hull of the Kamrilli. And now, a Heavily Armed Military Convoy is barreling down on the Outpost with extreme prejudice. Whether they are here to help or bring further bad news is up for Troy to determine, as of now, all he knows for certain is-
-the calamity that has afflicted the Kamrilli is far from over…
=================================================================================================================================================
WELP. This is it, after roughly 9 to 10 months of work and a commissioned header that has been ITCHING to be seen since last summer, it's finally done.
My unofficial Alternate Universe Fanfiction of Darbaras' unflinching existential dread simulator NULL https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47116732/ which absolutely captivated me to the point it rejuvenated my writing capabilities and got me to churn out two chapters for my own take on the Kamrilli Disaster!
Of course, due to the limited depositories for Odraani lore, I constructed an AU where the Paktum and Humanity have been in cahoots for 10 years, far removed from the central setting of the Odraverse to deliver a believable tone while also avoiding pestering Darbaras with 10'000 notes for simple dumbass lore-questions. For the most part, and from feedback I have received from test readers, I did a good job, I think!
Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are done and to avoid fiddling with them for another extra month I figured it's either now or never!
Chapter 1 - Bad Moon Rising https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing
Chapter 2 - Touch and Go - https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing
Artist who did the amazing header is MoeAlmighty on DA https://www.deviantart.com/moealmighty , I can't wait to commission him again for future pieces!
Let me know if anything needs changing or if I just posted cringe! Future chapters should be on the shorter side so hopefully that means they will come out with more regularity!
And thanks Darb, for the badass grounded sci-fi setting of the Odraverse, hopefully I didn't ruin it with this AU! ^.^'
