It was a peaceful day at port with little going on except some exercises scheduled for that day, however, that changed when a large unidentified object was seen barreling towards them, though it became obvious that someone was controlling it, because it turned with movements no natural object could move with, and slowed down as it headed towards a spot near the exercise area. This caused the ships that were exercising to have to cut their exercise short and move to surround the strange object, prepared to fight, while it didn't appear to be of Siren origin, that was no reason not to be cautious.

"This is no good, no good at all",The pilot of a large space vessel spoke to himself as his ship was plummeting towards a world unfamiliar to him and to the civilization he hails from, as he attempted to maneuver his massive ship into a landing position that would avoid the loss of his ship, he tuned his ship's sensors to assess the environment when he noticed some rather strange looking inhabitants, though he couldn't get any exact details at the moment, his curiosity got the better of him and decided to attempt to land his ship near these people. "Well, my shields are holding strong, so this should be fine", he says to himself as he slows his ship down and the inhabitants of this world came into a clearer view, what he saw surprised him. He saw what appeared to be scaled down ancient warship gear attached to what looked like human women, some with animal features. "Strange, quite strange indeed.", he said to himself as he brought his ship to a landing position near a group of these 'Ship girls' as he decided to call them.

When he saw them cautiously surround his ship, he attempted to reach out using tried and tested his normal method of communication, before realizing it wasn't getting to the nearby. "I suppose I should get out and communicate with them directly, my express instructions for this kind of situation were 'attempt peaceful first contact.' Well, I hope my auto-translator works at least.", He says as he fiddles with some settings and transfers his consciousness to an appropriate clone in his ship's small clone bay that he custom fitted into the ship, then he steps out of his ship with his protective gear on, wanting to be safe from the environment, and have some protection if these strange women decide to get violent.

As he came face to face with the shipgirls, he spoke in a somewhat dramatic tone "I suppose you have a lot of questions for me. Well I want to ask you ladies a few myself. Let's start with introductions, I am the representative of my Alliance, Pan- no, the entirety of my home of New Eden, an immortal given the power to wield weapons of untold destruction, to shape the fate of the world. I am an Empyrean named Aeron Kotenai. I hope we can become friends. What about you?"

The first to respond to him was a white haired shipgirl wielding what appeared to be a bow. She introduced herself "I am the Aircraft Carrier Enterprise of the Eagle Union, and I too, hope we can become friends"

Another shipgirl, that also has white hair followed suit and introduced herself with a bow "Head of the Royal Maids, Light Cruiser Belfast of the Royal Navy, at your service"

Next to introduce herself was a smaller girl, with Antennas on her ears who introduced herself as Ayanami. Before the next shipgirl could introduce herself, there was a loud explosion nearby, followed by several more, as the Sirens arrived through the Mirror Seas to attack the base. "It seems we'll have to finish introductions later, I think it's time we both show our abilities against these intruders.", The man spoke as he rushed back into his ship and the girls rushed forth into battle.

Once Aeron boarded his ship once more, he immediately started targeting the sirens nearest to his ship, and was pleasantly surprised how fast his sensor array could target even the humanoid Sirens.

'Well, this is good, if that's the case I shouldn't need to switch to precision missiles,' he thought to himself, but then thought back to the orders he was given for this situation, that he was not to make the first shot, but the problem quickly resolved itself when some lasers that were fired from one of the sirens missed a shipgirl and hit his shields, being effortlessly deflected due to his ship's natural resistance profile being effective against energy weapons and the output not being anything to worry about. He then proceeded to fire his first salvo of missiles at the offending siren, effortlessly obliterating the unfortunate siren, who appeared to be moderately armed before she was blown to pieces by his Explosive missiles, which had the effect he was looking for, some of the sirens, both humanoid and production model, moved closer to his ship in order to attack him, he decided to try his luck and split off his launchers, and then targeted the five closest to him, but before he could get a lock on them, half of the entire group sent to attack him was destroyed by a bombing run, Aeron looked over to see the one who called herself Enterprise, weilding a bow and lauchning primitive aircraft from it. "Interesting" he said to himself as he targeted what remained of the group and finished them off with another salvo of missiles.

He proceeded to continue destroying sirens five at a time, watching as the shipgirls kept at attacking the other ones, starting to develop an unspoken rhythm, somewhat staying out of each other's way, when he noticed one that looked stronger and likely more important than the others break off to engage him, and so he immediately started targeting her when she began to charge some kind of weapon, presumably priming it to fire at his ship, he attempted to remove her from the battlefield before she had the chance, firing all of his launchers at her, but she managed to survive by moving and evading some of the explosive weapon's' blasts, albeit still noticeably damaged, and fired the weapon into his ship, doing a noticeable amount of damage to his shields, although it was quickly reversed by a single activation of one of his shield boosters. "About half of that was right into my resist hole, must be some kind of particle weapon. Well, this should kill her regardless" He thinks to himself as he activates his stasis webifiers, targeting the Siren and slowing her down considerably, then firing another few salvos of missiles into her, destroying her in seconds. This seemed to have a desirable effect as the remaining Sirens withdrew after she was destroyed, leaving as quickly as they arrived. "Well then, I suppose she was the one leading them, although, I'm somehow sure this isn't the last I'll see of her." He once again changes his clone and steps out of his ship, this time without the armor, as he was sure he was at the point where he shouldn't need it. Once he saw a group of shipgirls approach his location, he spoke "I must say, I'm impressed, there's still room for improvement, but you outperformed my expectations regardless."

Enterprise spoke first "The feeling is mutual, I've never seen anyone survive Purifier's energy cannon without a scratch on them, then proceed to destroy her as quickly as you did."

The capsuleer replied, "That's her name huh? Purifier. And from what you've said, she comes back even if you kill her right?"

Enterprise nods "That's correct, she's given us quite a lot of trouble."

The capsuleer takes a moment, thinking to himself that he may have found a good opportunity for fun and profit replies, "I think I can help you with her and her ilk, but I am going to need some basic information first, and I would like to formalize the extent of which my assistance can be provided, in the form of a, quite favorable, contract."

Enterprise smiled "While I appreciate the sentiment, I wouldn't wish to trouble an outsider in our war, what you've already done is enough."

And then, with a smile, Aeron said "It's not trouble at all. It would be a shame for one or more of my new acquaintances to perish or become seriously injured while I could've done something to prevent it. I simply wish to use my power to help you win your war, in exchange, I ask to be able study some of the more, fascinating technology of both you and those troublesome enemies of yours, and a few more minor things, so that I can have something to report back to the higher-ups back at my home."

Enterprise replies, "Well, I suppose we can discuss it if you truly wish to get involved in our conflict with the Sirens." The capsuleer smiles once more "Perfect. Now, I suppose I should get acquainted with the rest of you, and I hope our cooperation proves to be most beneficial."
