Foiled in his original plot, Mons Vor devised a new scheme, a galactic-wide conspiracy built upon this warped technology – all to serve Mons Vor’s ultimate objective – his own technological empire, the Mechanicus Imperialis, with him as the Supreme Master of Engineers! | Foiled in his original plot, Mons Vor devised a new scheme, a galactic-wide conspiracy built upon this warped technology – all to serve Mons Vor’s ultimate objective – his own technological empire, the Mechanicus Imperialis, with him as the Supreme Master of Engineers! | ||

For the rest of his life, his Excellency Mons Vor was the curse and Puppet Master of the Quadrant. No worse enemy of freedom has ever appeared in the trappings of polite civilisation. Insatiable appetite for power, cold calculating ruthlessness and monumental greed for riches all presented themselves armed with fire, phaser and sword. The veneer of culture and good manners, of brilliant ceremonies and elaborate etiquette, only added a heightening effect to the villainy of his life's story. Better the barbarian conquerors of antiquity, primordial figures of the abyss, than this quiet, machiavellian creature, strutting amid the bows and scrapes of servitors and assassins to the torment of his age. Cruel and duplicitous, excelling in his lust for power, this Master of Engineers disturbed and harried the Galaxy with the lights of perverted science through decades of arrogant pomp, ably assisted by his dark agents. | For the rest of his life, his Excellency Mons Vor was the curse and Puppet Master of the Quadrant.

[[File:Lucindadh.jpg|left|140px]] After several years, the Graven was on a routine delivery when it passed by an unstable worm-hole. Suddenly out of the vortex emerged a small ship, closely pursued by a massive vessel. The Graven had to take evasive actions to avoid getting crashed into. The small vessel was struck by torpedo and phaser fire from the giant, and began to explode.[[File:LeNoir.jpg|right|140px]] Just before it exploded, its crew beamed aboard the Graven. To the shock of Leo and his comrades, the evacuees were all [[ma:Borg|Borg]] drones! A sudden fire-fight erupted as the Graven crew fought to save themselves from being assimilated. Whilst Leo protected his girlfriend Sarra and tried to contact anyone for help, LeNoir went on the offensive against the Borgs. The gun battle raged, but being only a freighter with a relatively small crew, the Graven crew were beginning to fail. Several members of the crew had already succumbed to the Borg, and were turning on their former comrades. Just as all seemed lost, a group of aliens materialised from the larger ship. These aliens resembled tall slim grey bipeds, not unlike the classic alien vision from early 21st century Earth’s popular culture. These aliens rapidly overpowered the Borg drones, in some cases physically tearing them limb from limb. Leo and his friends, bruised and bloodied, welcomed their saviours. The Grey Aliens looked at the motley crew through flashing blue eyes. LeNoir went forward and reached up a hand, seemingly hypnotised by what he saw. Then the whole scene went bright white. | [[File:Lucindadh.jpg|left|140px|thumb|Sarra]] After several years, the Graven was on a routine delivery when it passed by an unstable worm-hole.

The crew of the Graven awoke, according to their log, about three days later. The ship was adrift and the aliens had gone. The Graven had, however, been massively upgraded with a whole variety of technology none of the Graven’s crew had ever encountered. Leo, who had a natural interest and flare for gadgetry, was fascinated and looked into what all the new equipment could do. With many of their officers now dead or assimilated, LeNoir was the ranking crewmember left, and took command. He seemed even more distant than before, but the others thought nothing much of it, just grateful to be alive. The Graven continued on its original mission, but it soon became apparent that LeNoir was hiding something from his crewmates. After some forceful persuasion, he showed them the treasure trove in the Graven’s reserve hull. The Borg drones were still there, but dissected and experimented upon. The aliens had given LeNoir the ability to understand and control these Borg drones, and replicate their technology and adapt it to his own needs. It was also clear to Leo that LeNoir was becoming mentally unbalanced, or at the very least an aspiring tyrant. Before they could stop him, LeNoir turned on them and killed Sarra, and left Leo for dead. | The crew of the Graven awoke, according to their log, about three days later.
