*A/N: so my friend introduced to this game called Master of Orion: conquer the stars on PC. Wasn't too fun(it was good to say the least to be fair. Not the best mind you.) but it was interesting to keep me playing. So this story I thought I would make something interesting for the series...and no...this story will not take place during the reboot. It will take place in the first Master of Orion game. The one I grew up with. I do not own Master of Orion except my OCS.

Warning : This story contains strong violence, possible dark scenes, strong languages, possible lemons that is not suitable for readers under 18 or older or readers who are not comfortable in mature scenes. This is my first and only warning I'm giving you. You have been warned. *

Chapter 1

(Dante's pov)

Hello...My name is Dante Vera. I'm a 24 year old college student who seemed to have been in a...unusual circumstances...what you may ask? Well let me ask you this...You ever have one of those moments where you wished something fiction to become true...? Alot of people would wish that the moment they wake up from their sleep and suddenly immerse themselves out of reality...but have you ever wake up...find yourself in another universe and have your life changed just as you wake up? I have...

Now...I can already hear you people saying "Maybe this is just a dream and you're going crazy.". I tell myself that everytime but it's as if God tells me "This is real. Better live with it.". What universe did I ended up? Master of Orion...yes...that game that reminds me of the old Civilization games would put me in a human colony(in a rather nice shelter in a nice Gaia planet.) as a scholar of science...but that's not the strangest part...most of the humans know me. Yeah...don't believe me?

"Hey, Dante. How are you doing?" One of the scholars asked me.

"Doing well. Thanks for asking." I sighed.

See? Didn't need to introduce myself and that was someone I haven't met before til now. They just knew me right off the bat. Okay...now that I got that out of the way...let's talk about the now.

"Something wrong?" He asks me.

"I met an Alkari." I smiled a bit.

He closed his book for a bit and looked at me with complete shock.

"An Alkari? Are you sure?"

"Yeah...she was the most exotic Avian I have ever seen..."

"Wait...was this during the time when I heard that the Alkari leader came here to have a face to face meeting with our leader for something private?"

"Pretty much. She snuck past her guards and I quote "Got bored of hanging around in the ship.". She met me and I got to say...she was very curious about our race and um...she was staring at me as if it was her first time making contact with a human." I blushed a bit.

"Wow...lucky you. Just be careful next time. You never know something bad might happen to you." He warns me.

"I'll remember that."

Okay...okay...before you start shouting at me and demand an explanation...it happened about a day ago when I woke up in the human colony.

*A day ago*

I was getting some fresh air to regain my senses about what the hell was going on when I heard grass rustles near me. I looked to my right and I see this female falcon Alkari who looke about my age in tribal exotic (don't twist it into errotic, you perverts.) clothing standing there looking at me curiously.

"Um...hi..." I shyly waved at her.

She stared at me a bit more until she into finally asks me...

"So you are a human?" She asked me with complete curiousity.

Yeah...the way how asked me tells me she never met one. Which is kind of surprising to me...

"Yes. Yes I am. The names Dante. Nice to meet you, miss..."

"Venatrix. Daughter of the Skylord." She tilts her head for a bit.

"It's an honor to meet you, my lady." I said as I did a gentleman bow.

What? If someone is related to someone in royalty, I got to respect her. Couldn't let her see and have her think that the humans are a bunch of rude savages next to the Mrrshans.

"Please. No need to be formal. Venatrix is good enough." She giggled.

Now that was something I didn't expect out of her. Normally when I dealt with someone in a royalty rank, they would be snobby and most likely have me do things to make her comfortable but she was one of those ones who respects the people and...was possibly the rebellious type...

"Of course, m-I mean, Venatrix." I scratched my head with embarrassment.

She giggles at my shyness as I just chuckled a bit...

"You're an interesting human. I'll give you that." She smiled.

"Um...thanks. but um...if you're here...won't your father be furious that you are wandering alone with no guards?" I asked her with concern.

"Bah! So I could be cooped up in a ship while boring myself for hours? No thanks. I wanted to see what a human being looks in my own eyes." She chirped.

Famous last words for a rebellious daughter (Sarcasm...).

"Well you're looking at one." I scratched the back of my head a bit nervously as she giggled more.

Before she could say anything, she turns around and notices her father crossing his arms really annoyed.

"That's your father?" I asked her.

"Yes...and it would seem he is not too happy about my little escape from the ship." She sighs.

"You sure he's not going to think I did something to bring you here?"

"No...not when I have something to say about it. Well...this is farewell."

"It was nice meeting you. May the god of the sky protect you in your travels." I smiled.

She looked at me with complete shock...she didn't expect me to say something like that to her.

"I've been studying your race's culture and I was quite intrigued to learn more. Guess you can say your race fascinate me in such a way." I chuckled.

She smiles warmly leaves me be to go with her father...I'll be honest...having an Alkari meet me in person in real life was totally worth it...

When she was out of earshot, I muttered to myself...

"If my friends saw me talking with an Alkari, they would flip out."

That's if they are still here in the universe and haven't gotten themselves killed or worse...hope they are okay...
