June 2653 Present Day
"Watson are all UNSC ships accounted for?" asked Captain Nicolas Distel as his blonde hair was covered by the blue light within the bridge. He was currently standing in the bridge as his brown eyes were looking over the last minute information received by probe that had pick up an energy signature that had the same reading as a certain weapon that caused the hairs of every high brass official to stand at attention.
Since then scientist where asked multiple times to confirm that the reading they were getting was truly accurate and not some error from the decaying probe. Once they confirm this calls were sent to any nearby fleet that was the closest of reaching the location luckily for Captain Nicolas his fleet had the winning lottery ticket.
"Indeed sir" said a think British laced voice as Nicolas turned toward the voice and saw a brown hologram of a middle aged man dressed in a full suit who had a blower hat atop his head, in hand was a cane and a notepad. "All UNSC ship's accounted for and on time if I do say so myself" he said pride in his voice
"Captain Nicolas slip-space rupture detected energy reading's matching those of the SoS" announced Lieutenant Mathew, no sooner than he announced three slip space rupture's where seen off the portside of the view screen as three Swords of Sanghelios ships excited from slip space they were two SOS battlecruiser and one Assault carrier all colored in white paint scheme.
Even though this was a UNSC planned mission word got out to the SoS of what they have discover and in a sign of good faith they spared a small number of ship's being that most of the SoS navy was going under refit as they wished to erase everything of the Convent that they were once apart of even if that meant destroying ships and building new ones.
"Oh, message coming through sir it's from the flagship" said Watson
"Put it on" said Nicolas as he put down the report soon the view screen was filled with the familiar figure of a Sangheili dress up in gold plated armor appeared. The Sangheili put an arm across his chest "I am Shipmaster Zako 'Lunom captain of the Rapturous Inquisitor, and I am presumed that you are Captain Nicolas correct"
He nodded "Indeed Shipmaster I am, I presumed that your troops have been informed of the situation"
"Indeed we have captain we shall aid you whenever we can throughout this mission"
A small smile appeared Nicolas face "Thank you shipmaster if you'd tell your ships to line up with ours we can proceed with the operation". The Sangheili nodded as he fade away from screen,
"Sir Zako ships are lined up with ours we are ready sir" said Lieutenant Mathew once more.
"Thank you lieutenant, Watson set a course for the probes position and open the com" said Nicolas as he sat down in his command chair,
"You're live sir"
"All ships this Captain Nicolas in a matter of minutes we shall be leaving to the location of a probe that has picked up a massive energy signature one that the high brass cannot ignore, are fleet along with a small number of SoS ships will be heading there to uncover who or what is causing this energy spike. If it is something of Forerunner or Covenant origin than we shall dealt with accordingly, but if there is a slim chance that we have something new on our hands that we have never seen before then we will do what humans have done for generations we will adapt and do are utmost best. This is Captain Nicolas out"
Watson soon got an update "All ships have the coordinates locked in sir"
He nodded "Make the jump" he said.
In the vastness of space slip space ruptures opened as two mk2 Autumn-class heavy cruiser, two Centurion Class Carrier's and Zako's ship went ahead as they were followed by Nicolas flagship whose name was proudly displayed along its long grey hull UNSC Lasky with that the ships entered slip-space as it headed into the unknown.
Time Skip 1 week later
"We are exiting slip-space now sir" said Watson
Nicolas nodded as he was sitting in his command chair the trip while short compared to other travels had caused the captain to be on edge for the past week. Being that this was the USNC Lasky first official military mission even though the blasted ship has been in service for over 15 years doing nothing but portal runs, and adding more fuel to the fire the where heading into space that was unexplored by the UNSC or SoS.
'There's some frigate's that have seen more military action than the beast of a ship' thought Nicolas, soon the ship exited slip-space only instead of being greeted by the blackness of space they were instead greeted with an asteroids the size of states.
Alarms flared throughout the ship of their course causing Nicolas to take immediate action
"HELM FULL DIVE SPEED NOW!" with that everyone was thrown forward in their seats as the massive vessel dived under the rock soon it became clear as the view screen showed rocks of all different sizes surround the fleet. While the Lasky and the Rapturous Inquisitor had nothing to fear being that the ships size and fields made sure that no damage would come to it the same could not be said for the smaller vessels of the fleet.
"Watson contact Zako and tell him to line up with our ship on the right-hand side while his and ours smaller ships to stick in-between use like glue and at the same time I want you to scan a clearing away from this shit storm" the A.I nodded as he began his orders, soon the Rapturous Inquisitor pulled up on the right hand side as the smaller ships got in the middle with the two bigger ships acting as giant body guards.
Vibrations where felt throughout the ships as rocks hit there shields
"Captain I have found our culprit there's a planetoid body not too far from here in which we can hide behind" announced Watson as he displayed the coordinates
"Helm head toward the coordinates" said Nicolas the fleet moved at moderate speed dodging or plowing their way through soon they made it to safety behind the barren planet.
"Well I believe that could have gone worst" stated Watson
"Don't push it, what's the damage on the fleet?" asked Nicolas
"Besides us ridding a roller coaster the sized of city and a couple scratches on the paint no damage" responded Watson with voice sounding posh
Nicolas rolled his eyes to the A.I's response
"Sir I did a scan of the system that we entered…. And well you're going to want to see this" said Crewman Lewis Sullivan he soon displayed it for everyone on the bridge to see it didn't take long for the crew to realize what they were seeing.
"CN Sullivan this better not be a joke because I am sure as hell not laughing" said a stern voiced Nicolas
"No sir this was taken just a couple of minutes ago sir" in front of every one was an exact copy of the sol system
"I triple checked it sir, each time it showed the same thing"
That caused Nicolas to do a double take in reality the chances of finding an exact copy of the sol system where like a billion to one, which lead to only one theory of finding this second sol system
"Forerunners" said Nicolas
"That is what I came to sir"
Nicolas then put his hand on his chin thinking how far the Forerunners went into making sure that humanity survived by building an exact sol system of all things.
"Sorry to steal you case CN Sullivan" said Watson as he popped in "But you are only partially correct"
"Explain" said Nicolas, soon the imaged was laid over with a copy of their own sol system on top of it.
"While the theory of Forerunner influence that could cause the making of this system is highly plausible, there is still one key piece missing" he then zoomed in on the barren rock they were orbiting until the imaged clear up causing everyone in the bridge to go wide eyed at what they were seeing
"Then can you explain why there's an Apollo age lunar lander on the surface below"
No one spoke as their brains worked, as the rock they were in orbit was not a large asteroid but a moon, one that only belonged to only one planet.
"A better question" said Nicolas as he stood up and looked out into the rocks floating in front of them
"Where the hell is the Earth?"
And there you have it and i know leaving on a cliff hanger is kinda cheese but hey it works :P
My goal is two have at least one or two chapters up every week being that i'm planning to make this story go a long way, as for when the USNC and Blade officially meet,
All i can say is that they will somewhere in chapter 8 of the Xenoblade Chronicles x story line. Another thing is that the main story line of Xenoblade will get flip around due to certain events that will cause others to happen more early *cough* cat people* cough*
As always please leave your feedback weather it be positive, negative or random stuff in the reviews, until then i'll see you guys later.
