Eternal Gray Cyborg Captain

The ***Eternal Gray* Cyborg Captain** is an Iridian cyborg and the commanding officer of the Iridian warship *Eternal Gray*. He commandeered the spacecraft in the Battle of Shadow State 2 during the Shadow State Rebellion, and here witnessed Axle Rubix bringing down the city of Shaol by using his ship's command over the Consortium fleet, although he himself was against the idea. The *Eternal Gray* Cyborg Captain is portrayed by Benjudah Feinen in *DYNAMO*.

## History

### Early life

The captain of the *Eternal Gray* was born an Iridian man, presumably on the planet of Iridian, though this has not been confirmed. At some point in his life, for some reason, the man that is known today as the ship’s captain was turned into a cyborg, having his eye replaced with a robotic one. Why and how is unknown. At one point in his life, this man became captain of an Iridian warship known as the *Eternal Gray*. Although it is unknown if the cyborg captain of the *Eternal Gray* has ever had the chance to be on Iridian or see it for himself, he had seen the planet somehow, because he knows that it was once beautiful.

### Shadow State Rebellion

When the Shadow States rebelled against the Consortium and waged war in the battle that was to be known as the Shadow State Rebellion. Preparing to go into battle on the ship, which was waiting for him at the Iridian Gate Depot in Kar-Nivel, the *Eternal Gray* cyborg captain was met by Les North, a man with seemingly superhuman abilities, the founder of the Earth city of Shade, creator of the Cure, a representative of the Consortium and a powerful and wealthy man. North wanted to thank the captain for his war effort, yet when he wanted to give him a statement on behalf of the Consortium, the captain interrupted Last, saying that “we (the Iridian people) do nothing for the Consortium,” which prompted North to launch into a quick speech about all the children of the dozen of worlds the captain is fighting to save from the Shadow State Rebellion. While North is finishing his speech, the captain starts to walk through the glass hallway that leads to the ship and enters it. The gate depot then generates a portal of some kind that transports the ship from the gate depot to Shadow State Two via its drift depot and proceeds to blast through enemy crafts with all their weapons, including men wielding automatic ballistic rifles on the outside of the ship and a high-intensity laser beam. The captain takes an elevator into its command bridge, where he’s met by the bridge crew and the Chief Warrant Officer of the ship, seemingly the second-in-command on the ship.

The captain orders the Chief Warrant Officer of the *Eternal Gray* to report the status of the battle, which is being fought in the space below the hanging cities of the Shadow States. At that moment the Shadow States are taking the drift depot that they entered into the dimension through and if was destroyed they'd be trapped in the Shadow States. The ship had three hours of fuel remaining and nowhere to land as there was no land to land on. This report prompted the cyborg captain to order the bridge to relay to the fleet the order that they must commence an attack pattern known as "gamma-five-epsilon." The ship’s gunnery also loaded high explosives into the ship’s guns and moved the rudder midships. The Shadow States' fleet of rocket boats raise their guns and starts to fire ballistic projectiles at the drift depot above them in an attempt destroy it. Shortly after this, Axle Rubix, a man with powers similar to those of Les North, teleports from somewhere into the *Eternal Gray'*s bridge, almost prompting the Chief Warrant Officer to shoot him out of sheer shock. Axle asks for a status report. The Chief Warrant Officer tells him they’re engaging the enemy in two sectors, three and fourteen, though when Axle interrupts him to point out that as long as they still have the drift depot they still have the upper hand, however the captain tells him that the enemy has split their Consortium fleet in two and is focusing all their firing on the depot. Axle proposes to divert their attention by causing some mayham: seemingly due to having some sort of authority, perhaps like Les North and perhaps as part of the Consortium, he assumes the control of the *Eternal Gray* from the cyborg captain and orders them to relay to the fleet to focus all firing on two support pillars holding up the city of Shaol, in Shadow State Five. The Chief Warrant Officer protests this, pointing out that the pillars are holding up the entire city, which Axle indicates that he already knows this. The cyborg captain tells Axle that history will never forgive him for what he is about to do, though Axle brushes it off with a simple joke - “He’ll be alright. I’ll buy him a couple of beers” and read randomly offers the captain the chocolate chip cookie he har bright to the bridge before doubling down on his. The bridge obeys and their fleet destroys the two support pillars and causes Shaol to fall from the rocky mass it has been embedded in, sending millions of citizens down into their deaths in the abyss below, the cyborg captain simply watches in horror, silently mouthing an "I’m sorry” to the citizens that are about to die.
