Another another random planet, in another part of the Galaxy
The mechanical sentries looked up at the miniature mass relay as it briefly attempted to stutter to life and then fell silent again. They twittered nervously back and forth to each other in their mechanical language for a moment before one of them was shoved forward. It turned and looked at its companions reproachfully before bridging the rest of the distance to the relay.
Gingerly, it opened a panel and then began to interact with the console inside. Several moments later the queries and diagnostics revealed an address. It twittered back at its companions in query. They twittered back in response. It huffed a sigh through it's cooling vents and then turned and loped away down the path that led to the relay.
The sentry weaved its way through complicated hallways and turned through numerous doors before finally arriving in what could be easily identified as a space dock. It fearfully approached the massive ship and twittered softly at it.
A résonant voice called out, "Speak." The sentry launched into a nervous rambling series of twitters, clicks and mechanical whirls. It soon fell silent and stood there. The dock was silent a moment more before the voice said, "Interesting. Activate the secondary teams and instruct them to remain with this relay. Then gather the rest, we will investigate this… planet."
A/N - Dun dun dun! Plot! It's happening! *hides*
