Authors Note: For anyone who thinks Skynet is OP with the tech and numbers I am giving her I present this tiny piece of math. The leviathans existed 1 billion years ago and created the Catalyst. It made the reapers and conquered the entire galaxy and converted the population in to capital class reapers and destroyers. That is Quadrillions of life forms being turned 100 million at a time in to reaper capital ships. If there were 1 quadrillion being then there are 10 million capital ship reapers. Now with a billion years going by with a harvest of about 1 trillion every 50,000, that is 10,000 new capital ship reapers a cycle with there being 20,000 cycles. So, in total there are 210 million capital class reapers. Or Fewer capital reapers in which case there are about 500 million Reaper destroyers. The reapers use 2 large plasma canons so if 10,000 ganged up on a ship it's shield would shatter. So, Skynet has 2 advantages: Tech and the actual composition of her mind. Not a hive like the Geth, Metacon, and Reapers, but a single, intelligent being.

Rael'Zorah couldn't help but sigh as he looked out in to the system they had discovered.

It had been 2 months since the Admiralty board voted to leave known space. They had waited until there was a gap in the turian patrols around a relay, 314 to be exact before using their ezzo cores to manually jump the distance. That took about two weeks before they arrived in a system with a garden world. The world was not compatible with their biology, and with its proximity to a relay that lead directly to Turian space they had discharged their drive cores, and kept jumping, following the relays through conventional FTL. 23 ships didn't make it, with one being a live ship. But it paid off, they arrived in the current system 2 days ago, and found a dextro based world to colonize, far from the council's influence. They had already found suitable locations for cities to be placed, with building starting in 3 days.

"After 300 years of suffering" thought Rael, "We finally have a home again".

A smile crept on to his face, as the future of the Quarian people was secure.

But it was not to last.

"Admiral we have unidentified ships on our sensors" The navigation officer shouted in a panicked tone

"Keelah, I am detecting…. 500 dreadnoughts and 11 super dreadnoughts"

"Hail the heavy fleet and confirm those numbers", he ordered.

Rael' was shocked but kept it hidden, "confirm that are we sure it isn't a sensor malfunction? No race not even the Turians has that many dreadnoughts. And what are the "Super-dreadnoughts?".

The officers on the bridge all jumped to their stations, checking with the combat vessels coming about in the fleet.

"Admiral, I can confirm we have 500, 1km dreadnoughts in a spherical formation that appeared out of nowhere. The super dreadnoughts are 10km long and what appears to be the flagship is 20km. Keelah Admiral, there are no Ezzo readings."

Now Rael's surprise was shared by all the officers, along with those on coms. "No Ezzo?", "And they just appeared?"

"Yes sir" the sensor officer said before turning back to his station.

"Admiral we are being hailed by the unknowns. It appears to be mathematics, as well as a simple vid" the coms officer Said.

"Get me the rest of the Admirals. We may have First contact on our hands".

Skynet detected the massive, fleet the nanosecond she entered the system with the seed ship and T-3000 monitors/colonists. Over 50,000 ships, an impressive fleet for a species that wasn't a machine to poses. Skynet new they were organics for no AI would let their ships be so outdated without repair, and these most defiantly weren't Metacon or Reaper vessels. This left a space-faring organic race. This made Skynet hopeful, since up to this pint all she had found was primitive races or long dead one such as the Prothean's and Engineers, though the Prothean's posed 4 million people now under the T-3000's care, so they may be transplanted to a new homeward.

This race had spent at least 300 years in space if their ships were anything to go by. But what was surprising was the diversity in ship design. [There may be more than one species] Skynet thought happily. [I must get samples of their population in case I fail to stop the reapers.], but that is a thought for a different time. In 10.4 seconds, Skynet composed and had the T-3000 send a basic set of math equations. Hopefully the race would send Dialogue for Deciphering. {Message sent, Creator} Thanking the "Human". Skynet took a T-5000 from the battle carriers' storage and made her way to a shuttle. While she had the Transport armed with T-3000 (rather than the usual T-800, considering this task was delicate and couldn't be pushed off to beings that took hours to learn), she composed a small animation to send with the first contact package. It was a drawing of a Lamda Shuttle from George Lucas's Star Wars, landing on the planet beneath the two fleets. Sky net also included a small stick figure speaking so as to try and get the point across that they needed dialogue samples.

On the Planet

Skynet waited on the world with only 4 T-3000 visible, with their nanites forming what would appear to be skintight suits along their bodies, with tight fit helmets. Skynet had a similar set up though lines of royal blue, purple, and red curved around her suit with the main suit being white. The rest blending in with the ground or the plant life. She had received a detailed scan of the unknown's fleet, which pointed out the disturbing fact that these beings posed ezzo engines and cores meaning they had fallen for the Reapers trap. The scan also revealed nearly 100% identical designs to Prothean tech, so the first language she would try would be Prothean.

As she prepared herself for the contact about to take place the 2 escort H-K's notified her of a small shuttle making its way to the ground with only 7 life signs on board. That was good. It meant they saw her bring 4 guards and herself and most likely did the same with the 2 extras being piolts.

The Shuttle landed on the far end of the clearing they were currently in, lowering the ramp a revealing 5 beings in space suits.

They stepped out of the craft and made their way toward Skynet's group. They stopped about 10 meters back, unknowingly right on top of 10 T-3000's. The lead one spoke "hsdk. Fwiuh FIh strgeE? Mes nsfrg Rael'Zorah sdfa aew migrasd Fleesd." Taking this as a greeting and a question along with an introduction considering the being pointing at himself when he said Rael'Zorah, Skynet responded in Prothean "Greetings, Rael'Zorah. I am Skynet. I wish to establish peaceful contact". [The aliens were surprised when I started speaking and judging by their tools on their arms acting up and speaking their language, I can only assume they have translators for Prothean.] After they apparently heard my message, the leader fiddled with his [It is built not unlike human, Prothean, Sangheilii, or engineer males. It is probably male] tool before saying "Can you understand me?".

"Yes, I can understand you Rael'Zorah",

"You said your name was Skynet? What species are you?"

"Yes, and I classify myself as Human, you seem surprised at my speaking of Prothean"

"Well, we have never encountered a species that speaks Prothean before. We have it built in to our translators but it is considered a dead language, since the species is extinct."

Skynet smiled at Rael and said," Extinct? I think not. I have 4 million under my protection on the catalog"

Words can't describe the shock that the Quarian Admiral felt.

That's all for now. As you can tell Quarians won as the first contact. Who knows what might happen when they realize who or more accurately what they are talking too?

Ignore the names below I was using them as reference for spelling on different versions of this chapter.
