The L.S.S. Beko, researchship of the U.M.R.C. arrived station 77, a supply and trade center at border of earth alliance space. While the crew starts with exigent ship repairs, Captain Josh Carnway and Commander Calak enters the space station.
Cpt.Carnway:”Calak, why looking so depressive? We need this break. Go to a bar and amuse yourself for some hours.” Calak:”Amusing while Mysterions probably plan a war? That’s not logical, sir.”
Suddently, a young man welcomes them. Guy: “Carnway, right? Oh yeah, i heard of your heroic adventures. You would have killed a whole Mysterion starshutter fleet, people say. But, Mr. LaCros sent me. He awaits you in the M.F.Z.P.E.S.S.S.C.A.P.S.-section. Please, follow me.” Cpt. Carnway: “Franc LaCros is here at this station?? I thought, he works on the U.M.R.C. on earth.”
Franc LaCros: “Oh, Carnway! Welcome, good to see you. Look this, amazing, not? It’s a Mega Fusion Zero Point Energy Subspace Singularity supported Collector for Anti-Positron Substanc,)the same Blacktron technology like at home, but Johnson’s is a more modern version and doesn’t need the giant space like this to create energy. By the way, the reactor supports the whole station. But that’s not why im here.” Cpt. Carnway: “Come to point.”
Franc LaGros: “Listen. Three months ago, object 600 entered this star system and circled around planet Dar’fak. From former encounters with it, the people knew, that it would rest some days to collect minerals from the asteroid belt of the planet. The workers of station 77 observated it and instead of contacting us, they tried to catch that lame thing this time. They had luck to create some kind of a trap and hoped to sell it to the Blacktrons for much money. Fortunately, they weren’t interested, so we were called. The U.M.R.C. sent me to proove that. And it’s right, we have a living..., i mean activated Mysterion object. It’s prisoned in hangar 8 on the other side of the station. The canopy didn’t open yet but tried to break the lasercage without success.”
Cpt. Carnway surprised: “You did what? Prisoned it? That’s not what the U.M.R.C. is wanting to do. Maybe there’s a pilot inside, or another kind of lifeform. We haven’t the right to deny them human rights. We’re not in war.” Calak: “Three months? Fascinating. That’s just the point of time when the Mysterions dissapeared and started to build up their fleet.” Cpt. Carnway: “One of them disappeared, and they united to start a backstrike. That makes sense. I want to see that object, now!”
Meanwhile at hangar 8 ... Radio moderator: “Space News. Good day out there! It’s 12:33. Mars: after a referendum the planet is now called Snickers. Earth: President Clarkson’s office affirmed, that a new defence fleet of about 40 standart and deluxe Battle cruisers are ordered and will be build in just a few weeks to support earth alliance defence. It was also decided that the newest additional tax income from governmental copyrights will be invested in the construction of the Athene-class stardestroyer fleet. That were the news and now back to music...”
The worker awakes...
and wonders...
Carnway comes too late... Cpt. Carnway takes a communicator quickly: “Oh gods, it has escaped. Carnway at Beko!! LeGonze, a Mysterion is running on the station. Can you...?” Lt. LeGonze: “The ship sensors receive much, but to specify i need help of the station local security system. I’ll go to the control center, be right back.”
Cpt.Carnway: “Sector E8? But we are in sector E8 now?!”
Suddently...
Calak and LaGros get separated from the captain. The object turns to him. Commander Calak: “Sir, i call help!”
Calak has run to the control center: “Captain? We follow you on on the computer system. Where is the object now?” Cpt. Carnway: “Just behind me! Oh god, that’s impossible... It seems that it used the station’s technology and transformed itself into...something different. It’s a complete new object.”
Something is lifted out of the mech... Cpt.Carnway: “Oh oh, i think, that’s a gun. It wants to kill me!”
The others are following the captain's run on their screens. Lt.LeGonze: "Captain, can you receive us? Captain? What's happening? The object must destroyed the station's defence systems. We only have control over the comm and secondary systems." Cpt. Carnway: "Ahhhhh!! Help me!" Guy: “In the captains area there’s just the lock alpha-B. He’s trapped...”
Franc LaGros: “Carnway, all right with you?” Commander Calak: “It was able to transform into another object? Fascinating. Maybe this could explain, why we never found two Mysterion versions twice.” Cpt. Carnway: “Thanks for asking, i’m well, Calak. You’re right, but how we can say, if this transformation mode is a basic ability of all Mysterions or just a special skill of object 600? By the way, where is it now?”
Lt. LeGonze: “It dissapeared on all scanners. It must have left the star system right after leaving the station. We are not able to follow.” Cpt. Carnway: “Good. Maybe the agressiveness of their fleet stops after we left it free. Finish the rest repairs of the ship and then we’ll return to earth with LaGros. Too bad that we wasn’t able to solve this riddle.”
What are the real abilities of object 600? Are 600 and 700 really the same encounter? How did it break its cage? Is the prisoning the reason for the recent hostile encounters or just another found? We may never know, but the crew of the L.S.S. Beko will travel further for finding answers...
Quoting Yuri Fassio
Your best Mysterion episode so far... so that's why the war started, huh? Fascinating. And how's research on the "Mysterion Array" coming? http://mocpages.com/moc.php/139114 As soon as you mention it in an episode, I'll use it in an ArcheoGenis mecha...
1)Luckily, the next one is a crossover episode involving Archeogenis help the U.M.R.C. so i could mention the research shortly as exchange effort, but it's up to you what they discovered, i have no idea and have to tell my own storyline. But you maybe create the first part of that crossover, where Dr. Lentz use the results for your next mech and combine a scene to my episode. That would be the perfect cliffhanger to link both mocs together as real crossover. Would you do that?
2)The war? Well, i wouldn't solve the main plot in episode 3 of a series, or?

Oooh! Me like! Espceially Object 700. Using the techniques you did, it must've been really tricky to actually make it look any good. If I was attempting that, it'd have to go into Yuri's Worst MOCs group most likely.
