Möbius Strip: Wake the Princess - Part 1

The bridge of the On Vast Horizon was amazing and beautiful to Ker. Truly the most advanced ship his people had ever created.

When they boarded, it activated several systems automatically but most of the ship was still in standby mode. He need only issue a command and wake the sleeping giant.

“I can initialize full startup from here.” Ker said, stepping up to the engineering console.

“Wait, I need you to do something else. All Traleen ships auto sync with the master Link when in rage. During the event, any ship connected to the Link was destroyed. The sync must be deactivated first.” Eric replied. “Before you ask, yes I could think it so, however any time I touch an object, it leaves a trace that our new friend is attracted to.”

“So you need me to do it. That’s why you asked me to find a ship.”

“Exactly.”

“Autosync is a base command, deactivation is going to take time.”

“You’ll need this.” Eric said as he materialized an IdentCrystal. “It will give you full control of this ship, ‘Captain Ker’.”
