The story of Nemica Gobon

A number of machines exist in the Glyos universe that go beyond machines. Machines with souls.

During one confrontation between Pheyden and Phanost on the planet Nemica, a Gobon unit was uncovered. Phanost wished to use the machine for himself, but Pheyden wanted to stop him. After an arduous battle that drained Pheyden of his strength, the pair were attacked by Armodocs.

Scar Pheyden teleported from the planet with his newfound powers, confident that the galactic quarantine on planet Nemica would allow his Gobon savior peaceful rest.

Time passed.

A ship arrived, parting the energy barrier that closed off Nemica from space. It zipped through the atmosphere, landing very close to the Gobon. The pilot emerged from his gaudy ship, a scar on his Pheyden visage. He did not speak. He only looked at the Gobon, and then up at the stars...
