The crew of the LANCELOT are called to a
mission that has a difficult issue to resolve. Rumours have it that, according to a very
ancient manuscript, a descendant of a long-dead king would reign over the
entire system, and bring an era of peace and prosperity like nobody has
ever dreamed possible.
Clerics that are opposed to this view stop
at nothing to hunt down the Bloodline of the king to prevent the prophesy being fulfilled. Despite their guile and
wicked tactics, the prophesy is not thwarted, and
the promised Saviour is born. This will usher in a reign of
a millennia in the solar system that surpasses the splendour of all
previous kings on the most inhabited planet, out of the total 3 that have
civilian colonies.
Would anyone come to the conclusion that
someone amidst the crew of the Lancelot has the key to uncovering the plot
to assassinate the parents of the Saviour before the baby comes into the
scene?
According the legendary manuscripts, there
does appear to be an indication...the mentioning in symbolic language of a
star being born that is brighter than all the others. “It will light the
heavens for a millennia with great glory and
splendour. A jewel in the crown could never compare with how bright this
new star would shine. It will appear despite attempts to quench its
brightness by dark unseen forces.”
Appears like there are very startling
parallels in the above story to the Nativity. When Jesus was a baby, the
clerics or religious leaders and kings became very unsettled at the news of
a new king in the scene. They even gave the order to track down and kill
children of the same age they suspected the child to be at the time the
news broke out. Despite their endeavours to kill the Saviour child, their
plans were thwarted as Jesus had by then gone to Egypt for a little while,
until the persons
responsible for hunting him down had died.
Perhaps, the parents of the saviour child in
this story are also warned of impending danger to her child and are safely hidden
in another one of the inhabited planets, until the mad clerics of their
home world have either forgotten the whole matter or had died of natural
causes. During this period on another world, the saviour child grows up
strong and wise. The clerics in the new home have been waiting for a long
time for the prophesy of the ancient scrolls to be
fulfilled. Lo and behold, the saviour child they had eagerly been looking for
is right there in front of them.
The Cleric Order in the child’s original
home world, get a whiff of what has been going on in the neighbouring
world, and make tracks to pursue the Saviour child and still endeavour at
all cost to quench the light, and once again, their plans run up against a
brick wall and end up being thwarted. The monks protecting the Saviour
child battle it out against the malevolent strict sect, and save the child
from being assassinated. One of the monks leaps ahead of the child and gets
a phaser wound on his chest. The followers of the menacing sect stand
stunned at what has happened. One by one, they drop their phaser weapons to
the ground and beam back up to their awaiting vessel above the atmosphere. Since
they had not accomplished their mission, the Sect’s shuttle initiated a
self destruct sequence. Then, to everyone’s shock and amazement, the child
saviour appears aboard the Sect’s vessel and aborts the self destruct. He
offers them reconciliation and the chance to start fresh, without malice
and vengeance.
Those who were impacted by the saviour child’s
kindness and forgiving spirit, went back to their
home world and told everyone what they had experienced. The leading clerics
of the council fumed at what they had heard...though not everyone reacted
that way. There were a band of council members that began to soften their
hearts upon hearing about the events that transpired. Even some members
that had been in the council from the first instance,
had a change of heart towards the child that his council had been hell bent
on trying to eliminate. Light overcomes the darkness. The love and grace
demonstrated by the persecuted saviour child, was the catalyst for such an
impacting turn around in the affairs of the entire system’s government
structure.
