Chapter 3: The Dhimen Arrival

=======================

Strange readings were coming from one of the rifts in the space between the 4th and 5th planets.

As the harvest platform in charge of the region was sending a report back to the planetary bases, an energy surge burst from the rift, making the platform shake.

Something began to materialize from the rift and all of the people on the harvest platform were all following the events that was unfolding in front of their eyes.

A large, partly translucent alien creature emerged from the rift.

The creature looked like something from ancient mythology with a massive body, 6 large wings and 3 tails.

On the head there were a myriad of what could only be described as eyes, while on the under side there were uncountable numbers of tentacles.

The harvest platform was so close to the rift that the creature flew right into it.

With its size rivaling that of the platform itself which in turn had the mass of a battle station

housing thousands of people, the collision was devastating.

The sheer force of the impact made the platform go critical and after the creature had went straight through it with no problem. It later exploded with all the people inside evaporating in the blink of an eye.

Just as the message as well as countless distress signals reached the home worlds of Klorathi and Marcavo,

similar events began to happen all across the solar system.

A large number of these alien creatures were coming from the rifts like an invasion fleet.

Leaders of the planets could only name them Dhimen, as their presence made them think only of devils from ancient mythology.
