I had fun making this. I finally got to use my Wacom tablet for something practical. It took me a little experimentation to get the projectiles right, but I like the way it came out.

The Reclaimer surrounded in a greenish-white glow.
TRAN
Every day particles of dark matter -- dozens, maybe hundreds, of types -- pass through us and everything around us...
TRAN
...unseen, unobserved, unmeasured...
TRAN
...like neutrinos, passing by, yet rarely interacting with us.
Explosion of light and energy, half a dozen projectiles streaming from the Reclaimer's form toward Intuitive Portent.
TRAN
The Cavalcade are able to use one type as a means of communication...
TRAN
...and another type as a means of projecting physical forms into the world.
Particles continuing to stream toward Portent.
TRAN
Portent destroyed the projected form of the Reclaimer.
TRAN
But what it didn't know was that I was riding Trojan, encoded as a dark matter message.
Closer to Portent, the particles on rapid approach.
TRAN
Portent accepted the dark matter data packets without question, knowing full well that it could filter out any information its fellow Cavalcada might include.
Close up on Portent's surface, spots appearing.
TRAN
That was my way in. I could now execute the secret mimic program the Commander had created for me.
Very close up on Portent's surface, the basic colors developing a reddish hue.
TRAN
And I immediately began replicating every bit of Portent's code, using its own resources to make a full and complete copy.
