Slowly the intelligence regained its conciseness. A time immemorial since that last time it had awoken from its slumber. Little did it care for that fact though, the part of it that would have was compartmentalized long ago. To not go crazy or for its memories to be corrupted with the passage of time. The only thing on its mind was its sole objective. As with its awakening meant it was time to take part in the final phase.
Gradually more systems came online, but most unneeded systems stayed offline while the intelligence checked the integrity of the vessel its mind currently inhabited. The interior did not reflect at all the time that had passed since it had entered its sleep. It was kept as spotless as the day it was commissioned into service. The outside was also as pristine as the interior. Albeit slightly overtaken by the local fauna and earth. A feat that would have been impossible if it were not for the many nanites that worked tirelessly and without pause on keeping the ship in the best shape possible.
The vessel in question was a pioneer of its time. A space-faring ship meant for research and colonization of distant planets, retrofitted for another task before it had set out from its homeworld Earth. The other task unknown at the current time. At least to the memory deprived mind of the intelligence.
The passengers had long ago succumbed to the passage of time. Their cryo pods never meant to keep them deanimated as long as they were. The sole occupant, if you could call it that, was the intelligence.
Doing one final check of the power levels in the system needed to complete its task. It calculated the time of one year after it initiated the tasks sequence before it once again had enough power banked to relaunch a start-up sequence for the ship. A minuscule amount of time compared to the time it had laid dormant waiting for its computation of the needed equation to accomplish the duty laid out before it. As well as the assembling of the required equipment to accomplish the assignment. Which was also paltry in comparison to the equation. All was done in a minimal power level with the intelligence not even conscious, just computing data.

Lastly, it readied a drone to launch on the launch of the program. With everything in order, the program was initiated.

The ship began to power down—drone launching into orbit and plotting a course to the destination of the transfer. Unknown or to little care of the intelligence. The outside world that it finds itself to inhabit had long since changed from the Goldilock Zone planet with curious particles as like much of the new Universe it had seen itself to be stuck in millenniums ago.
Inhabitants of all shapes and sizes now inhabited the world. Some would be very similar to the memories of the intelligence's past. At least in appearance, but that is where the similarities ended. They all seemed to make use of the new particles in the environment. These particles had been present since the craft had ended up being pulled through a tear in space in its previous Universe.
The intelligence long before making any progress on the task it had just completed had tried to study the particles to no avail. If it were still online now and able to do more of a diagnostic scan, it might have been able to glean more from its new neighbors.

Warhammer 40,000: Mind over Matter
Set in the Warhammer 40k universe, but accessible to those unfamiliar with the setting. The Imperium of Man has been fighting the Long War for ten thousand years. It is a war fought simultaneously across thousands of stars and against innumerable enemies. On smoke-filled battlefields and in the cold emptiness of the void the military might of the Imperium stands strong in the face of horrifying foes. It is not a war fought to conquer new lands, or to seize the wealth of enemy nations. It is a war fought to hold what they have, or to regain what they have already lost. The world of Nova Iberia is far from that war and supports the Imperium by sending her finest sons to foreign stars to fight and die as elite commandos in the Imperial Guard. A chance discovery on the corpse of one of these commandos has cast doubts around the world's loyalty, and has drawn the attention of the Imperial Inquisition. The seekers of the Alien, the Heretic and the Daemon have descended upon this peaceful world, and they will not leave it intact. Primaris Psyker Amelia Lafayette was a ward of the state, now bound as an acolyte to the Inquisition in recognition of her telepathic gifts. Inexperienced, and browbeaten by her training, she must adapt to her new circumstances or fall. If she can navigate the tangled webs of heresy, and survive life in the Inquisition, then she may find the opportunity to prove herself worthy of greater authority.

Fade
The story follows the life of John Grimshaw. From tragic beginnings to hopeful ends, John embarks on a quest for meaning. When visiting the cemetery he meets a girl named Jennifer Stone, a youthful teenager who quickly becomes a safety raft for John in turbulent times. But nothing could have prepared John for when he met the man in the pinstripe suit. The man with bright eyes, dark skin, and gleaming white teeth. The man claiming to the impossible and break the thin ice below John's feet entirely. (ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER) This story starts off relatively dark. Those who dislike subject material surrounding loss, depression, grief, should probably not read. With that said, the story evolves into a supernatural thriller past the initial chapters. It’s a comparably low fantasy for a website like this but hope some of you still enjoy it.

Sanguis
In a world inhabited by vampires, various factions are vying for dominance, whether through wars or grueling tournaments. In the midst of the conflict, two unsuspecting humans become caught in the battle. Note: My first story on here, I wanted to try writing a story with battles and leveling up, the kind of story where a character starts at the bottom and world their way up. I hope this story is a good chance to see what works and try out a few different ideas I’ve had.

Second Chance
A goddess from another world—defeated and forced into hiding by her sister, now seeks help from an outsider. A U.S. military tactician at the peak of human capability fails to find challenge in his life. In a spark of a moment, reality bends and they meet. She offers her power in exchange for his help to defeat her sister, The Goddess of Justice. While he gets to experience a new world at the cost of being public enemy number one. In an accident during transportation, their consciousnesses connect, allowing them to read to each other’s thoughts and feelings. Now in a thrillingly unfamiliar place, he needs to find a way to take down a goddess and fend off her angels in the process. Good thing he can wield the immense power of a deity to aid him. Author’s note: Second Chance is primarily about the flow of combat between characters, each with their own reasons for fighting. The world is dynamic, constantly changing through the story based on the actions of the characters. The story is intended to be told not just through writing, but through music and animation as well. The first music video was released along with chapter six. If you want a taste, you can find my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2LG4UHDJYqNWn6YS5Q2CVA
