Once upon on a time on a ship in a far away galaxy, a crew of space pirates traveled. A group of unwanted rebels and disowned misfits scavenged the horizon of sector 67 just trying to survive. The crew consisted of three crewmen; Grub, Stark, and Happy and the Captain; Only known as Rose. Rose was an older humanoid with enough wisdom and knowledge to fill a library. Stark and Happy have both been with Rose since they where juveniles and banished for being thieves. Then there was Grub, a young Furon abandoned and picked up on the out skirts of Sector GB88 while the crew was making a run on a transporter freight.

It all began while the crew was anchored just outside an interstellar highway, going after small transport crafts for supplies and anything they could use. When a small ship exits a warp speed ramp and catches the groups attention. Though the ship was a just a general transport ship it was undetectable on forms of radar. They decided to act worried the ship would go light speed again at any moment. The crew got into their positions and locked on, shutting down all the electronics and travel abilities. While attempted to board there was no activity on the transport vessel, which worried the crew but none the less they boarded. On board they discovered an empty ship only guided by auto-piolet and a single locked steel room that looked like it could withhold a bomb capable of destroying a planet. Anxiously the crew opened the door.

Only to discover an entity so powerful that its believed to be from another unknown dimension. This entity was known from the edge to the universe and back only as Otis. Otis was an extremely powerful, ruthless, and dangerous adversary. It had no regards for life and would destroy everything in its path.

The moment the door was cracked a powerful force energy exploded though the ship. Knocking everyone but Grub the ground disabling them with unexplainable pain. Grub looks around in confusion trying to get an explanation of why they are in pain. They motion to the room that contained Otis and Grub walks in only to see a little old man with a cane made of purple obsidian standing only 3 feet in height. Otis peers at him with stabbing gaze and Grub peers back both fascinated and confused. Otis expression then turns into that of a someone who has lost everything and replies, “My son, at last.” Grub confused and lost has no answer. Otis tells him that he has been searching from end of the universe to the other trying to find him and destroy all that get in his way and they much to talk about. 

Grub still confused and unable to comprehend the information he just received sits down with Otis and listens. Otis explains, they their a very few beings left within there race and that they are from a very rare distant galaxy on the edge of the universe. That their galaxy has no verbal name and is constantly being pushed by the force of the ever expanded universe, which gives the people their powers. Grub questions if he is one of them why hasn’t Grub had knowledge or the ability to access these unfathomable powers. Otis looks deep into his eyes and says only at the brink of death. The edge of unbearable pain do we gain consciousness of powers and through the destruction of energy do they gain power. He them peers into Grubs eyes and asks him to come back to their civilization and continue to rejuvenate their race. Without hesitation, Grub angrily shouts, “No!”. That is no honor nor reason to destroy innocent lives for the further pursuit of a single race. That they had already abandoned him as a small infant and now what him to forget all he has been through to expand a race that banished him. 

Otis enraged by the response, now sees Grub an enemy standing in the way. Otis sheers at him and Grub is over taken by a bearable pain, instantly falling to his knees in agony. The pain is so intense that he begins to hallucinate and forgotten memories of his past are brought forward. Otis vanishes, unwilling to kill his son and fear of bring forth the powers within Grub. The agony bearing upon the crew is lifted and Grub lays motionless. Stark lifts Grub and carries him back to the ship with Rose and Happy following. Days pass, and finally Grub awakens. Eagerly the crew asks Grub what happened inside the chamber and why Otis hadn’t killed them. Grub explains everything and requests an unbearable task of the crew. That they must attempt to kill him for it is the only way Grub will be able to access his powers and defeat Otis. The crew unwilling to attempt the favor both out of fear that Grub will be consumed by his new powers and the belief that Grub is not part of the race Otis described.
