Ferla Tur sat in her jumpship, Fatal Vision, cleaning her beloved fusion rifle and thinking to herself. Not meditating, that was for matters that required insight beyond simple thought. No, just thinking. Remembering.

''Did I see what I think I saw? Or was it simply a trick of the mind, an illusion of the light?''

She closed her eyes, her hands continuing to clean her weapon without her direct oversight. Whether it was simply engrained memory, or the other half of her brain continuing the task, she cared not. What mattered now was remembering. She reached deep into her own mind, and plucked an image, crystal clear, in a way no subconscious memory could be, from the depths of the somewhat-recent past.

A titan, standing in the tower plaza. His armour was shining black and dull yellow against the white stone of the tower, and he stood laughing amidst a crowd. His head, helmeted as it was, was thrown back in a hearty laugh, and those he towered over were laughing too.

She then set the image aside, and withdrew a much more recent memory, from but a few minutes before.

Another titan. Smaller. Slimmer. Not quite whole. Falling back in a tunnel of vex and earth, her form runny, bathed in an orange light and fading away in the flames of Fer's fire.

She then drew up the first image and placed it next to the second. The titans were nothing alike. One tall, the other small. One triumphant, the other defeated. One from a few months ago, and the other from a few minutes ago. But both had one thing in common. There, on the waist of each, burned the purple form of a mark which had no twin.

Voidborn

Fer's eyes snapped open. Her fusion rifle lay next to her, fully assembled and cleaned, ready for her next engagement. She stared ahead for a moment, before summoning her ghost.

"Yes Fer?"

"Spark, where did that titan I beat head off to?"

"I believe towards the tower. Why, want a rematch?"

"No, just answers."

With that, Ferla set course for the tower and waited nervously for her arrival, hoping to catch the titan that bore her missing friend's prized mark.
