Four years* ago, one of the Inquisitors was touring the factory planet Strahite when her unreliable precognitive senses informed her that the planet was likely to suffer a meteor impact within the next three weeks. Rather than trust the planetary defenses to handle it -- if they could, she reasoned, the impact wouldn't be likely -- she commandeered the system defense feet and set them to a course of sensor sweeping the system to find and intercept the bolide. One of the ships managed to do just that, but another one, in a completely different sector of the system, discovered a comparably massive body moving on a vector that would have taken it out of the system in a few days' time, and investigated more closely when the body was discovered to be humanoid in size.Examined first on Strahite, later on Taranta, the Voyager proved to be a humanoid male identical to a Chiraben down to the cellular level. When he awakened, midway through the latter series of tests, he seemed to have the mind of an infant, unable to communicate even through the use of telepathy but quick to learn and integrate new information. Within a few weeks, he was speaking Imperium Standard with the faculty of a typical first grade student, and quickly understood and integrated most subjects. But he had no knowledge of any previous existence.Naturally, the Crimson King ordered that his newest subject be indoctrinated with absolute loyalty to the Imperium (and carefully conditioned to be unable to use any of the unusual powers that he demonstrated on the Crimson King or any individuals who spoke certain key phrases) and trained as a super-soldier. From time to time, however, the Crimson King has experienced rare moments of doubt as to whether this was really the best course of action. While it is possible that the Voyager is a Chiraben mutant, or even one of the legendary rising stars, who has suffered some sort of episode that left him bereft of his consciousness, another, more concerning possibility has been suggested.Based on the vector that the Voyager was following as he passed through Strahite's system, his point of origin lies beyond the Wild Beyond, the furthest reaches of Chiraben exploration. If this is the case, and if he originates from some unknown civilization beyond the Wild Beyond, that implies some rather disturbing things about the capabilities of that civilization, as they are apparently able to perceive the life forms within the Imperium -- which is implicit in the Voyager's own, very long range sensory abilities -- and recreate them exactly on a cellular level, while endowing their creations with powers and abilities far beyond what they would normally possess. It does not seem likely that they would do this casually, which in turn suggests that the Voyager was sent to the Imperium as some manner of herald, but that the message he was meant to deliver has been lost.When the Crimson King considers these matters, he usually concludes with a shrug, and decides that this is a problem for some other day. For now, the Voyager has been trained to use his remarkable talents, travelling through space at fantastic velocities and transforming his body to become either sufficiently dense as to posses gravitational influence or sufficiently plasmatic to burn like a small star, for the benefit of the Imperium. From time to time, however, he does seem to lose himself in thought while examining the universe around him, on rare occasions even discussing what he observes in somewhat lyrical terms. Is it possible that whoever created him actually intended him as some sort of biological space probe? And that they did, in fact, send a poet?Voyager -- PL 12Abilities:STR 16/6 | STA 17/7 | AGL 2 | DEX 3 | FGT 5 | INT 2 | AWE 2 | PRE 1Powers:Hypersenses: Senses 14 (hyper-extended vision 3, hyper-extended acute energy awareness 3) - 14 pointsMode-shifting: Array (64 points) <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Hypersolid Mode: Growth 10, Density (Strength +10, Stamina +10, Dodge -5, Parry -5); Impervious Toughness 10; Move Object 12 - 64 points</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Plasma Mode: Insubstantial 3; Reaction Damage 12 - 1 point</li> </ul>Star Traveler: Flight 16 (125,000 MPH); Immunity 10 (life support); Movement 3 (space travel 3) - 48 pointsStrange Mentality: Immunity 20 (mental effects), Limited to half effect - 10 pointsAdvantages:Agile Feint, Close Attack 3, Fearless 2, Improved Hold, Improved Smash, Move-by Action, Weapon Break.Skills:Expertise: Galactic 10 (+12), Intimidation 10 (+11), Perception 8 (+10), Ranged Attack: Gravity 6 (+9).Offense:Initiative +2Unarmed +8 (Close Damage 6)Hypersolid Mode +8 (Close Damage 16)Plasma Mode +8 (No Strength Damage plus Reaction Damage 12)Defense:Dodge 12/7, Parry 10/5, Fortitude 18/8, Toughness 17/7, Will 6.  Totals:Abilities 56 + Powers 137 + Advantages 10 + Skills 17 + Defenses 10 = 230 pointsOffensive PL: 12Defensive PL: 12Resistance PL: 12Skill PL: 7Complications:Conditioned Obedience--Motivation.
