Bite of a story (meant for the 18th)

System 1
he two battleships turned. Cold. There was no transmission as the fleet entered system. Nothing to indicate they had just committed Genocide. Their massive one kilometer long hulls gleamed in the light of the star. They sat there and received the message with an indifference as the threat came across space on a wide array communication network. 

The two ships spoke back and forth on a tight beam communication hub. It was discovered by the scanners that the best way to combat this new foe was to jam their communications and unleash a computer virus on their systems and hopefully take out one of their battleships. 
A short burst was sent back. One that would ring through history. 
“Kneel” 

The closer battleship launched a series of short range missiles to test this fleets combat. In one of them was the singularity generator missile. All the missiles were aimed at the closer enemy battleship. The Huruns second battleship launched a series of probes that would jam all known ranged of communications short or telepathy and tight beam coms. And then it launched a virus that if they intercepted it would infect their shielding and drain it’s engines. 

It was not super advanced but advanced enough that if they opened it, that it would take all but ten thousand cycles to do it’s job. 

Astral Realm

Garris... I don’t know who would walk away in better shape though? You or I? I... kind of want to find out. But I can’t for now. You see.... my plans could take a dozen years or a hundred. Really Garris, if you want to intervene. I can wait you out or... as you say the last Argument of Kings. 

The King was making it clear at this point. It was his or the highway. He began to focus the fabric of reality around Garris in both realms. And he made it obvious. He was beginning to bend space and time to ignore Garris, so that if he sustained severe enough injuries it would try to reject him by any means possible. It wasn't super complicated and if Garris caught on he might be able to stop it. 

Hurun System
Gih stared at Garris. His eye’s shook. The whites seemed to pop out of his black cores. But then he heard the veiled threat. The one of secrets Gih had yet to see. A threat he could do more than it seemed. 

Gih’s breathing became frantic. His eyes darted around. His body shook in violent jerking motions. 
“Go! Leave my people!! Garris, you are not welcome here!!” Gih was almost losing it. He took a step back. But his guards did not make a motion to stop him or do anything. Infact their eyes were glazed over. Their mouths hung open as they began to chant slowly. A throoms rose in the air. Blood began to drip out of their mouth. 

They were being possessed before Garris. Their eyes seemed to grow. Larger. And larger. Until they were the size of an Oreo and then POP!! Their pink fluid burst forth as power seemed to flood into them. Blood ran fourth from their eyes. Their ears snapped audibly. A loud crack sounded and then their heads twisted as such, the two on the left to the left, and the two on the right to the right. Hanging at odd angles four voices spoke, but yet they sounded the same.

“Garris...We see the future of our relationship.”
