2658 GS, FTL Space, T.H.V "Preventing Incident"
Captain Ferrius Tuinius was pacing back and forth on the bridge of his ship, deep in thought over a choice, over which course of action he should take. At the same time, the air on the bridge was equally as intense, with the turians checking all their equipment, two, three even four times over preparing for... anything, a first contact scenario or a pirate attack, some even prayed a word or two to the spirits in the event that their ship becomes one of the first to be annihilated by enemy fire, or crash, head first, into a ship that's close to the relay. Anius, on the other hand, didn't do any of these things. What he did do however was just as important any other task aboard ship. Namely checking over the eezo core and the kinetic barriers, until the ships' virtual intelligence informed him that they will soon arrive at their destination. "Captain, we will arrive in about an hour..." he informed while he continued to prepare the kinetic barriers of the vessel for imminent use. "Thank you Anius" Captain Tuinius responded still thinking over his next course of action.

Admiral Vonal was irritated, the source of this irritation was caused by the man in front of her. The fair-skinned human stood there, overflowing with knowledge and curiosity as he explained the discovery, unfortunately, he seemingly bounced off the walls going from one subject to another. She coughed to regain his attention, and when he turned to face her, she asked "Can you please finish what you were saying, Dr. Biuu?" Dr. Biuu nodded and then spoke in a thick Coruscanti accent, a far cry from the neutral Coruscanti accent, "Well, Admiral, the station appears to send an object through space at incredible speeds, but..." he stopped short and looked at the station that was outside the ship, "it's considerably slower then our hyperdrive systems." She took it all in. "Send your findings to the senate" she ordered. nodded but stopped, horror enveloped his features as he spoke, terror impatient in his voice "A...Admiral!" She turned her head and saw twelve ships exit right beside the station, in that momentary instant she barked "Prepare all ships for any attack!"

The ship finally emerged from FTL, appearing beside the Mass Relay, then eleven others followed shortly thereafter. At first they saw nothing but the blackness of space and the radiant glow of the relay, but as the fleet pulled around that's when they saw the other fleet. A fleet of twenty seven ships, the design of which are unknown to them, but what horrified the crew most were the two ships observed in the center, one was twice the size of the legendary asari dreadnought the Destiny Ascension.
Captain Tuinius guessed that it was at least 6 to 7 thousand meters in length and he didn't even want to know the width of the enormous dreadnought. But to the bewilderment of all within the fleet, another twenty five ships with the same odd designs appeared, simply out of nowhere. The unknown fleet now started to move to the opposite direction from left to right. Confusion was dominant on the faces of the crew. Captain Tuinius spoke then "Record all of this, and if we are attacked, send it as a warning to the rest of Citadel space, but..." he stopped, hope slowly replacing dread "if we have a peaceful first contact, then send the recording only to the Council." He stopped again, he turned towards the crew member responsible and asked "Attach a message to it, ask them to send a diplomatic force to meet this new race..." but then interrupted, as a crew member gasped in horror then spoke with fear still infused in his voice "C..Ca...Captain!" Tuinius turned and looked at the view port, then his face twisted into horror as his mandibles twitched and mouth fell open, all the while the V.I recorded the newest ship to appear amongst the unknown fleet, a massive dreadnought that dwarfed the two recorded and already massive capital vessels...

Admiral Vonal grinned, now she had a reinforced fleet with a Constitution-Class Star-Dreadnought, she grinned even more at that. Doubting any attack, that this new and entirely unknown fleet, could throw at them could ever damage the fleet or the accompanying science vessels. Sitting and waiting for any signs of attack from the unknown fleet she heard a cough from behind her, she promptly turned to see, and much to her disappointment was Dr. Biuu. Not alone, but standing alongside a hooded figure 'a senator from the looks of it..' she thought.
"Admiral, we may be facing a first contact scenario" explained Dr. Biuu, she looked at him, anger filling her voice when she barked "And if they're a slaver fleet? Then what?" Dr. Biuu was going to speak but is stopped precipitously by the Senator. "I'll take it from here Dr. Biuu" he explained, in an accent simpler to that of a neimoidian and turned to face Vonal, pulling back his hood, revealing a green-grey skin with two red colored slits for eyes and then proceeded to speak. "Admiral, by order of the Galactic Senate, I order you to send a first contact package to the unknown fleet at once!" She looked at him, then turned to look at a crewman and ordered a first contact package be sent, she also ordered her crewmen to prepare the holographic transmission for any messages they may send as a reply... and to be alert for any negative reaction.

They were just sitting there, sitting there and waiting. For what? no one in the fleet knew, perhaps for plotting their ultimate destruction some thought, or perhaps their capture others thought. But Captain Tuinius just sat there, not thinking of anything, already accepting of his fate. But just when everyone had accepted their ultimate end, Anius came up to the Captain and explained. "Sir, we have retrieved a message broadcast from the unknown fleet". Tuinius's dread was insistently replaced by a new found, but conscious sense of hope.
"Well play it then!" he ordered.
Anius nodded pulled up his omni-tool and typed something. The message then played and showed all present, much to their surprise, a... a human, but then the image changed to another, an unknown race with a large blue colored head with large red colored eyes, then it changed to another image, and once again an unknown race, one that was aquatic like with a large head with two bronze colored eyes off the side. The image then changed to a map of the Galaxy, showing where they were at present, the map changed colors, with one half remaining the same while the other half changed to a crimson color. The image slowly begins to fade as a new image replaces it, one that Tuinus suspects be this government's symbol, a white circle forms, then another black circle forms in the middle, a black ring then forms, but the image once more changes as eight arms forms from out of the inner circle with the ring broken into eight pieces, each hole equal to the arms. The message then ends with the crew confused by what they just saw. The crew turning to look at the captain, as if asking 'our orders Captain?'. Tuinius just looked at them, then looked at the unknown fleet, and barked "Send them our first contact package, and send theirs to the Citadel, I believe the Council will want to see it..."

Admiral Vonal was now the one waiting, waiting for a reply from the unknown fleet. Though in her mind, she would rather destroy this fleet instead, just when she was continuing her thoughts a comms officer ran up to her, saluting her then said "Ma'am, the unknown fleet has sent a 'First Contact' package, do you wish to view ma'am?" he finished with a question.
Vonal looked at him for a moment, thinking for just a split second, then she answered "Yes I would..." the COMMO nodded and returned to his post as she started walking to the communications room to watch the message. When she entered she saw Dr. Biuu and the neimoidian already there, both of whom looked at her, nodded, then returned looking at the holotable. Vonal looked at the COMMO, who nodded and pressed a button. The table displayed a holographic message from the unknown fleet, the first part of the message was three images, one a vaguely human-like female with bluish-purple skin and what looks like hundreds of lekkel coming out of the back of her skull, then it changed to another image, this one showed an amphibious species with greenish skin, what looks very much like horns on the top of its skull and big eyes that appear to be black in color. The third image showed an almost metallic species with reptilian-like eyes and mandibles that are connected to its jaw. The message changed once more to show a station of some kind, a station that seems stranded within a beautiful nebula before ending with the front image of the station, it had five "arms" that contacted to a ring and finally showing an image within said ring of a tower of some kind, the display then ends and repeats.
Vonal looked at Dr. Biuu and the neimoidian for what seemed like hours, the neimoidian finally cleared his throat and said "We must send this to the Senate and the Council". The COMMO nodded and after a nod from his CO pushed a button on the table. Admiral Vonal returned to her post, waiting for anything to happen, absolutely anything...
