  No response came from the being behind the gem.

  The kneeling figure kept still, awaiting a reaction from the regrettable report he brought regarding the Insight’s demise.

  “Commence the final formation of the invasion armada. Advance the Recalore guards through the Trandeshion construct and prepare the gateway to the galaxy known as the Milky Way.”

  The kneeling figured bowed down once more. “Forever the Gashnee.”

  The Annals continue…

  O Fortuna

  "O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the 13th century, part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. It is a complaint about Fortuna, the inexorable fate that rules both gods and men in Roman and Greek mythology-Wikipedia

  O Fortuna

  velut luna

  statu variabilis,

  semper crescis

  aut decrescis;

  vita detestabilis

  nunc obdurat

  et tunc curat

  ludo mentis aciem,

  egestatem,

  potestatem

  dissolvit ut glaciem.

  Sors immanis

  et inanis,

  rota tu volubilis,

  status malus,

  vana salus

  semper dissolubilis,

  obumbrata

  et velata

  michi quoque niteris;

  nunc per ludum

  dorsum nudum

  fero tui sceleris.

  *Sors salutis

  et virtutis

  michi nunc contraria,

  est affectus

  et defectus

  semper in angaria.

  Hac in hora

  sine mora

  corde pulsum tangite;

  quod per sortem

  sternit fortem,

  mecum omnes plangite!

  O Fortune,

  like the moon

  you are changeable,

  ever waxing

  and waning;

  hateful life

  first oppresses

  and then soothes

  as fancy takes it;

  poverty

  and power

  it melts them like ice.

  Fate – monstrous

  and empty,

  you whirling wheel,

  you are malevolent,

  well-being is vain

  and always fades to nothing,

  shadowed

  and veiled

  you plague me too;

  now through the game

  I bring my bare back

  to your villainy.

  Fate is against me

  in health

  and virtue,

  driven on

  and weighted down,

  always enslaved.

  So at this hour

  without delay

  pluck the vibrating strings;

  since Fate

  strikes down the strong man,

  everyone weep with me!
