What's This? A New Challenger Suddenly Appears

The cosmic chess game between Drohchah oh-Thyehgr and Walker is disrupted  as a floating techno-organic tentacled brain shows up.  This entity is none other than the Norunner reanimated brain of Kellek.  Walker and the Forerunner at first react with dismay, yet note that the addition of one of Drochah's ancestors will indeed make the game at least a bit more interesting... perhaps even breaking the longstanding stalemate between the two.  However, one of the mainstay strategies in Tri-chess involves having two players gang up against the third.

 After hundreds of thousands of years experiencing the prolonged hibernative state of death, Kellek's primary concern remains exacting revenge on the universe which he had been banished from, though the civilization which did so and his old enemy are long since dead.  He is not likely to side with either Drochah nor Walker.  Also, neither are Drochah and Walker likely to set aside their differences to team up against the revived Kellek.

Their initial reaction is replaced with one of annoyance.  Whatever fluke this creature produced by the warping of the fabric of space and time is, he or it was not invited into their private game.  They resume their focus on the two person match they had been having, each doing their best to ignore the monstrosity in the corner as it groggily starts setting up the pieces on its board, casually pushing the brain creature aside each time it tries to butt its board at the intersection of Drochah and Walker's sides.
