What remains of Vortaxx' Facility, commandeered and currently in the possession of Prophet and Silver. Buried deep under the ocean, will walls made of protosteel, The Facility is impenetrable. It has various rooms. A hologram training room, capable of creating photorealistic holograms that are capable of physical interaction. A large storage room, used for storing airships, machinery, weapons, and robotic troops. A control room, with many advanced computers adorning the wall, along with a 3D map of all different territories which updates in real time but with a 15 second delay. An engineering room, with machines controlled by the E-1 Mil. that are used to create more troops and advanced weaponry. A computer room, used to house the E-1 Mil. or E-Mil. And the final room, The Lab. Inside the lab are various prototype weapons and materials. Two special machines house a Kanohi Olmak and Alternate Dimension Vahi, separately.
Time and space are ripped apart as a glowing white light forms in The Lab. It passes through the walls of the facility and enters into the control room. A blast of energy is shot at the light, passing through and hitting the wall. Prophet is holding a WEPR aimed at the light. Prophet: What in the name of Mata-Nui are you? Oracle(the light): I am The Oracle. Prophet: Scans don't indicate any physical matter. Just an energy signature reminiscent of the distortions created by Olmak portals. And I ask not who you are. I ask what you are. Oracle: Oh, right. I am afraid I am not quite sure. I don't have...memories. But yet, I see all the events from the past and from the future, but some events from the past are...important. Events surrounding a being named Vortaxx. Prophet: Vortaxx is dead. Has been for some time. He merged himself with The Heart. Oracle: Yes, well it would seem that when he did that his consciousness had to go somewhere. I beleive that it manifested as me. The Oracle. Prophet: So you're Vortaxx? Oracle: Yes and no. In order for me to be Vortaxx I would have to have his memories, but as I states before I do not have memories. I have knowledge of all past and future events. It's as if when Vortaxx merged with The Heart his memories, his sense of self, was wiped. Creating me, a...clean slate of you will. Prophet: Then why are you hear? Oracle: Observation. As I said, I can see the past and future, however the future is muddled. Murky. I can see it to a degree. But it's all bits and pieces. So I seek to observe the present to hopefully clear up some of the murky-ness.
Corvus awakens to find himself in a kind of energy based constraints that bind him to a chair in the center of a room. A light shines on him and the rest of the room is shrouded in darkness. Prophets voice floats out of it, sounding as if it's coming from every direction. "There was a biomechanical Nanute based organism on the ship that you were in when you crashed at the Xian Docks. What was it? Where did it come from?" Corvus replies after a moment of hesitation, "It was initially designed to be a self repairing solution for soldiers injured in battle. But The Order wanted a weapon. They went behind the backs of the scientist who made it. No one saw it coming. Instead of repairing mechanical damage, it would take over the bodies of those it attached itself to. It would change them. Mentally and physically. We tried to fight it, but when the enemy can take over your soldiers, it's a pretty difficult fight." "But the one in Xia was killed?" "Right. We found out that to kill anyone the Nanites took you had to destroy the nanites fully. We did this via acid based weaponry, and toa of Fire who melted the metal in the nanites. But they took everything. The whole world and every other planet we colonized. Nowhere was safe. The ship I was on was attacked. The Tatarus. I took an escape ship and got out. But if a Nanite soldier came with me, then they know I'm here. And if they know I'm here, they're coming. And they won't stop." Prophet grunts and all the details of the room fade, revealing it to have been the hologram room. The chair Corvus was strapped to has faded also. "So how do we stop them?" "Theoretically? Well, if you were to destroy The Mind then the rest of the Nanites would shut down. Theoretically." "And how do we do that?"
Prophet enters a passcode on a screen that unlocks the door to his, Formerly Frost's, lab. The door slides open with a hiss and he and Corvus enter. Prophet aproched the large computer at the end of the long room, but Corvus spots the Alternate Vahi out of the corner of his eye. He is enamored by it and feels almost as if it's calling to him. Telling him it wants him to be the one to possess its power. Corvus walks over to it and looks over the machine it's connected to. He reaches to take it off its mechanical pedastal. "Don't touch that," Prophet says, Corvus reeling back from the mask as soon as the command is made. "The last time someone touched that, they ended up dead in the end." Corvus walks toward Prophet, "Alright, well the The Mind can't be killed by explosives. Tried that a long time ago in the early days. But, once again theoretically, if we were to make a virus we could infect the Nanites." "And how to you propose that?" "Well, a biological virus won't work but a computer based one would. We could make a new type of nanite that instead of infecting the universe population and consuming them, we make it to consume the Nanite and shut them down. Instead of destroying The Mind, we just put it into a deep slumber. One it won't wake from." Prophet stops to think for a moment, "Alright. But I'll need a sample of the Nanites so I can analyze their mechanical structure and code." "I can help with that," Corvus says as his heads turns once again the Vahi. Gazing at it longingly, as if in a trance. "I can assist in making containment devices and proper weapons to fight them effectively. Then we can shut down Project Teridax for good." While Corvus has been talking, Prophet has been searching through his data-files regarding Nanites, but freezes when he hears that word. "Teridax?" "Yes. The project code name. Why? Does it mean something to you?" "No." Prophet replies. But it does mean something to him. It means everything to him. The universe where he came from had a Teridax. And that Teridax was his father.
A compartment on the wall opens and a rack of weapons based on what Corvus said could stop the Nanites are unveiled. The weapons are; DEMP Rifle: Fires a directed EMP blast. Adjustable EMP beam can go from a three door radius to a 20 foot radius. Fries the circuitry in the Nanites. Magma Canon: Fires a burning hot liquid. When entering the barrel the liquid is light on fire and burns at lava like temperatures. Unlike a flamethrower this weapons liquid flames can pool on the ground instead of immediatly vaporization. Heats up the Nanite shells and fries internal circuits. Plasma Rifle - Modified: Functioning similar to the standard Plasma Rifle, this modified version shoots balls of plasma projectile as a hot enough temperature to heat the Nanite shells and fry the internal systems. Solar Sword: The special material the blade is made from is capable of frying the internal systems of the Nanites on contact. Meelee weapon.
A panel on the central computer terminal opens and a capsule with a green glowing liquid inside is ejected. Prophet takes the capsule and shows it to Corvus. "The Nanites. If we can get these to The Nanite core then we can inject them and cause a chain reaction, destroying all the Nanites."Prophet says. "Alright. But we'll need to get there. It'll take more than the two of us."Corvus replies. "Yes, I detected a Nanite signature at the Makuta fortress. We can probabaly seek their help. I also picked up two more, one in the desert and another in the jungles." "So shall we try and recruit then?" "No time like the present."
Prophet teleports into the facility. He goes to the central computer. "Computer, can you use this facility's Olmak to transport us to a pocket dimension?" The E-1 Mil. responds, "Olmak can be used to transport facility. Warning should be remembered. This facility was not designed to withstand dimensional travel. Although, the spherical nature of the facility's outer shell means a highly increased chance of structural integrity. 86% chance of success. Dimensional movement cannot be undertaken unless a valid threat is present." "You're a stubborn machine, aren't you?" "I function as programmed." "The threat is an interdimensional Nanite army. That valid en--" A rumble proceeds through the facility, interrupting Prophet. He stumbles and catches his balance. The rumbling slows to a stop. The E-1 Mil replies, "Dimensional transport successful. Facility transported. Structural integrity holding." Prophet lets out a chuckle, "So the threat of a Nanite army finally got you moving, huh?" "Correct sir."
Secret appears with the Toa Corden and Field Medic 119.
"Wow this is cool. Now how is this built."
Medic pulls out a scanner.
"What the karz are you two doing here?" Prophet says, whirling around to see his 'guests'. When Medic pulls out his scanner it only functions for a few seconds before a silver drop falls from the ceiling and lands on it. The drop disappears as the scanner malfunctions and becomes unusable. The silver drop reappears from the bottom of the scanner, disappearing when it lands on the facility's metal floor. A mechanical voice proceeding the destruction of the scanning device is heard, "Don't do that."

"Well it was your portal you see...and that world was ending..."
The Toa Carbn get up
Titan:"Well, that was fun"
“I’m not sure I can let you all leave then. This facility is state of the art. There is and has never been something like it. I can’t allow the knowledge of its existence to escape.”

Wrathian:"Could you mind wipe some of us?"
“I don’t have the technology nor the patience to develop it.” Prophet says as Corvus exits from the lab. “Oh, hello.” Corvus says. “I didn’t know we had guests.” “We do-“ A bluish/white and cheery ball of light materializes in the control room. “Oh, hello.” The Oracle says. “I didn’t know you had guests.” “I don’t!” Prophet snaps. “Okay then.” The Oracle floats toward Corvus. “You. You’re needed elsewhere. There’s a universe where my agent needs Xia to assist him and their leader just got vaporized. He was an alternate version of you, so you’ll be perfect for a replacement.” Corvus responds, “Sounds fun, but me and Prophet have a Nanite problem to handle. Teridax and his forces seem to have gone ‘underground’ so to speak. My help is needed here. Besides, they would likely follow me to the next dimension I go to.” “Mmmmmmmmm no.” The Oracle says with his usual cheery demeanor. “You’re going. Enjoy the trip and tell Metru I say hello.” “Wait a mi- “ Corvus is teleported away in a blue light. He turns toward Prophet, “I’ll return him later. Enjoy your guests.” The Oracle dissipates in his usual way.
