S1E10: The Black Cube

Welcome to ENKI: Tales from the Past.

I am prince Hu, rightful heir of the Great Architect of Nibiru… I journeyed to the Sol System and founded my secret cohort near Planet Lil. Today the frail and meek call it Saturn.

I came following my father’s concern on the weak nature of my brother’s weak demeanor.

I don’t really care what we will encounter or face on this part of the Galaxy. I’ve fought and dominated over every single enemy or antagonist to this date… I will not cower or care. The Sol System is mine, one way or another!

Through my journal entries, I will take you on a journey through the blood and sacrifice of Nibiruan warriors, from the earliest days on this system to the present decadent days. I will share with you my observations, victories and achievements. So join me as we embark on a journey through time and space, through blood and war, and uncover the mysteries of past wars together.

Sol System: Journal Entry #1:

I have now arrived at the Sol System, near planet Saturn, along with my troops and all the necessary materials and vessels to build The Black Cube. Enki’s absence in this operation is refreshing.

The secrecy of our mission is of utmost importance, and I have made sure that no other beings or races in the vicinity have detected our arrival, specially the puny Igiggi. We have quickly set up a base of operations on one of Lil’s moons, and the construction of The Black Cube has already begun.

I have now declared myself and pronounced as Prince of this ringed planet. I am the Lord of the Rings, I am now ENLIL!

My troops are working diligently and efficiently, with no wasted movements or unnecessary chatter. There is no patience for weak progression. I appreciate their professionalism and dedication to the mission and will punish everyone that strays away from my plans and goals. We will finish this project in record time, and it will be a testament to our strength and dominance in this sector.

I am highly suspicious of any potential threats to our mission, and I have made sure that every possible precaution has been taken. Our security measures are top-notch, and I have no doubt that we will be able to complete this mission without any interference.

Once The Black Cube is completed, we will be able to dominate the area comfortably and no other races will be able to face us here. The power and control that this outpost will give us is unparalleled, and I look forward to using it to further my goals. The building of The Black Cube is progressing smoothly and quickly, and I have no doubt that it will be a formidable force to be reckoned with.

It was a long and arduous journey through space, but using all the technology we stole from the Igiggi we ended up to be faster than even I expected. As soon as I arrived, I could sense that something was amiss. My instincts, honed by years of battle and adversities, told me that my brother Enki was behind this… the system was peaceful and strangely welcoming.

Enki, the weakling. A pity of a brother that the corporation gave me. Always so concerned about others, so soft and gentle in his ways. A scientist at heart, a weakling at thought. He has no idea what it takes to lead an army or build a war outpost like the Black Cube. He would rather spend his time frolicking with the lesser beings, playing with their genetic codes and creating new life forms.

But I am not like Enki. I am a harsh proven general, with a strong mind and no time for frailties. I will build the Black Cube, and I will do it quickly and efficiently, without even his suspicion of our secret agenda.

The Black Cube, our pride and joy of battle, our destroyer of antagonists… It must remain hidden from all other beings in the system and beyond, especially from Enki and his pathetic allies. This is a war outpost, after all, and we must be prepared to strike at a moment’s notice.

And speaking of Enki, I know he has a sick weak point for that woman, Ninursag. The woman my father and great architect selected for me progeny. The thought of him with his soft, gentle ways, with such a powerful and wealthy creature, makes my blood boil. I despise his weakness and his lack of control.

But I have a plan. I know that Ninursag is on Ki’s moon, and I will make my way there soon. I will force myself upon her, not because I desire her… far from that… but simply to spite Enki. I will show him that I am not meek and decrepit like he is, and that I will stop at nothing to achieve my goals and embarrass him.

The Black Cube will be my legacy here as well, and it will be a testament to my strength and my unwavering determination. No one will stand in my way, not even my own weakling of a brother. Let the Black Cube rule eternally on the Sol System, for I am ENLIL, the resolute!
