Sitting down at my desk I opened up the system interface, my mind wandering to the Mikaelsons sowhat.
They were an entirely new species of Vampire that were technically under my control. Hope could create hybrids and that was an amazing prospect for my forces, if they decide to work with . Hope in and of herself was a Tribrid, having elents of Witch, Werewolf and Original Vampire. Fortunately for she was only at the stage just after Klaus and Elijah chose to died in one another's arms... Her life would be more stable now, especially with her mother back by her side and Niklaus there to make up for all the ti he wasn't there for her.
The rest of the family, whilst difficult to handle in so circumstances, had all made up by the end of the Originals show. There was no resentnt and they were all supportive of one another. Now, I just needed to slowly connect to them... And see what happens. I really liked The Originals as a show.

"I guess all there is left is to buy Twitch for myself... And watch what is happening in SWTOR..."
...
Every player that began playing SWTOR erged in a massive sci-fi space. Millions of buildings rose up into the sky, eting with an upside down section of the city that glowed neon. Hundreds of thousands of players all logged on and entered into this space at the sa ti... Massive technological arrays sat there untouched, inactive.
Alucard was one of these, people, as he noted that the space was all but empty of anities or enterable buildings. BUT, what he noticed before most was the sound of thunder mixed with the build up of energy.
Turning in that direction his imnse senses allowed him to peer through the crowd, noticing one of the inactive arrays lighting up and activating. Hundreds of thousands of people appeared once again. This single array soon beca hundreds around the 'city'? If that is what it was.
Hundreds of players were marvelling at the data-form they currently resided within, ignoring the display. Most people however, moved over to the active array, seeing the words: 'Star Wars The Old Republic', hovering just above it. So hesitated, but in the end they all wound up touching it and disappearing in a flash of cyan light.
Alucard, seeing this, almost skipped over in excitent.
"Hahahaha! This place is insane... I wonder if this ans sothing!? Eh, who fucking cares, let's play the ga shall we." Right as he finished his words he ended his skipping and touched the array. He was yanked inside of the array, a Stargate-like entrance that had chanical limbs moving above the many gates that made this array. Not resisting the force of the yanking, his perception warped and then solidified once more, instantaneously.
He stood before an ancient tomb, where his SWTOR character had stopped in the Beta. But besides that, there was a single box standing before him. A single letter was placed o top of the box, simply reading: 'My Thanks to the Beta Players'.
"Ooooh... A present? For ...? What a cheeky little bitch, it's almost like she's flirting with ." He bent down and opened the box, finding a single crystal of pure black glow. There was no explanation of what it was, besides a single notification on the ga interface that it was called a Kyber Crystal.
"Hahahaha, I bet this is useful for sothing!" He took the kyber crystal and pocketed it, lifting the crystal to the floating character screen he had before him, placing it into his inventory.
A hiss called out from before him, an ancient crooning voice that sounded akin to a snake's threatening rattle.
"Son of Korriban... Flee now... Before death... Takes you..." Dust was lightly thrown up into the air as Alucard adjusted his red-tinted glasses, a massive smile expanding across his face as the wispy voice receded into an exhalation.
"You horny motherfucker, don't promise a good ti without first taking to dinner. Wait, I suppose I could always eat you..." He shrugged and walked forwards, kicking the empty box to the side of the cave as his Vibro-blade humd ominously before him.
"Co to daddy!" He started sprinting down the stairs, his speed soaring as he passively activated his force powers; having been used to pulling on powers from his existence as a Vampire.
...
Tony awoke in the chamber a ssage glimring in the light for him. {Progress has been rewound slightly in you area due to outside forces}.
He blinked at this ssage and looked around, finding himself where he was just before he was about to free Khem Val. Shaking his head in confusion he looked in front of him and imdiately ca face to face with the bestial face of his possible ally. Teeth oozing with saliva as the creature was hungry.
"Whoa, calm down buddy... No need for you to eat my face off."
"Sith... Free Khem Val now... Work with Sith... Eat enemies..."
The creature's tone was calm and collected, opposite to how he looked physically.
With trepidation, Tony considered the offer again. He was alone in the ga thus far, he wanted to explore the lore and the technology. With a companion, these goals would be easier and the strain of combat would be less effective against him. Khem Val did seem hungry though and had stated before that he would eat him... A trade off was the choice here...
Standing there for a few more monts, he finally made his decision. He would take the chance and continue forwards with his intent. Not to ntion that he had made this choice before.
Taking the chance to look at new technology, he examined the device used to hold the creature. Searching through data panels and circuitry he eventually found the off switch, pulling on it and watching as the entire device essentially short circuited.
Many things happened in short order after this occurred. Tony recoiled from the electrical discharge from the Ion emitter inside the contraption. At the sa ti Khem Val tore out from the non-charged tallic bindings placed over his wrists and legs. Mid-recoil, Tony felt a aty arm swing over the top of him and smash into the console, crunching many of the inner workings of the 'cage'.
Stepping back rapidly from the electrical shock, Tony watched as Khem Val tore into a box next to the device and pulled out a large Vibro-greatsword. It thrumd in vorpal speed and quickly slice through the cave floor below as the monster, Khem Val, pulled it upwards in his direction. The air scread as the sharpness of the blade split even atoms in half.
Panicked and filled with adrenaline Tony leapt backwards and tried to get further away from the monstrous beast. He fell as he attempted to catch himself, falling onto his ass with a lancing of pain shooting through his tailbone. The blade pulled Khem Val backwards as his strike carried imnse montum. This movent wasn't the finish of his attack though, no, he was only starting.
"Khem, buddy, oh friend, oh pal... Why are you attacking ?" His voice ca off more anxious and nervous than inquiring, his eyes narrowing down onto the blade coming towards him. This hadn't happened the last ti he freed him... What had changed?
"HUNGRY!" The blade was pulled over Khem Val's shoulder with herculean strength, the blade careening towards the most sensitive place of a male's body... the balls.
In a flurry of panic Tony attempted to use the force. Desperation clung to the edges of his mind as the nigh-realism of the ga was confronting in this mont, the fight or flight instinct kicking in.
"Fuck you then!" He pushed out his arms and prayed, hoped, that these bullshit magic powers would do sothing to save him.
Both palms aid towards Khem Val flared in purple energy as arcs of vicious force lighting sprayed through the air in a conical shape. The surface of the cave was aglow in the violent heat and light radiation as the individual finger-thin arcs of compressed electricity folded through the air and punctured into the tight, muscular, limbs of what he thought could be his companion.
This wasn't just a small expulsion however, no, this was the beginning of a torrent. Copious more tendrils of lightning flared from Tony's hands as he, widened eyed, watched Khem Val roar in pain and take several steps back.
"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAGHHHHHHHHHHH! SITH... PAIN...!"
Anger flared through the would be saviour of the beast, his frustration growing as he didn't understand how or why this was happening. Little did he comprehend however that these emotions were tied to the power of this new force power... The once small tendrils of electrical discharge thickened into three-pencil-wide tentacles of electricity.
The beast lowered itself on its knees as the mildewed yellow eyes of said creature rolled into the back of its own head. Stones on the ground began to glow with more than just light, as heat began to sowhat lt them. The greatsword wielded by Khem Val slumped to the floor as screams started to radiate from the thick tree-like throat of the previously trapped monster.
"Now you know what it's like huh? Perhaps if you stopped attacking , and helped , we can find you so other creature to eat...?"
"K-Khem VAAAAAL....W-WILL... A-A-Accept, offer..." The creature's head slumped forwards in acquiescence, the bowing of the head almost dragging itself forwards onto the ground.
"Good." As soon as the tension released from Tony's shoulders the lightning dispersed and the chamber went back to its dark and gloomy interior lighting.
"Then, follow further in and there may be soone or sothing for you to eat."
Tony walked past the creature, his mind refusing to see it as anything other than a monster set out to eat things. Just because you could converse with sothing doesn't an it was friendly, he had learnt that lesson in Fallout.
'I wonder what caused this change and rewound my progress with Khem Val...? Maybe a beta glitch?'
...
I watched several player make progress, the download taking a little longer than usual for everyone as the hub had been integrated with SWTOR itself. My points were climbing rapidly and even then, with the introduction of the first space, I was now receiving emails from popular clothing brands, car dealers and companies in general to promote their store in such a place.
Businessn and won weren't stupid, they saw the opportunity and leapt at it. My cares for the emails were zero as of now, mainly due to the fact that I had yet to customize this hub... My thoughts were swirling in that direction amidst my watching of Alucard and Tony. Peter was at school with Ned most likely and besides that, Spiffing Brit was currently unavailable due to real life issues.
These two were my current source of entertainnt. Luckily for them they jumped on today, because each of them would be receiving a gift. Alucard had already received his, Tony now just needed to finish his mission in the area and search the body of the boss...
'Phew, it's good to get back to gas...'
Ease spread over before my attention slipped back into the ga. Observing how the narrative of Star Wars the Old Republic was already changing in the face of the player's choices. One such change had already occurred... And it was from one player I would have never expected...
