"Dropping out of hyperspace captain, detecting power levels consistent with Potentia from the planet" a crewman said from behind me.
"Begin broadcasting our Lantean identifying code on all channels we need to make sure they are passive" I commanded.
"No need sir they are hailing us".
"Put it on screen then" I told him".
A face then appeared on the view screen of a man with short hair looking to be around age 30, he was wearing the common robes of a Lantean with the only difference being a picture of a nanite embroidered onto his breast area.
"Commander Pantel we have been expecting you, but there is no time for pleasantries" he said quickly.
"We have detected a Lantean warship known as the Aurora on our long range scanners and from what we can tell from here there are 2 wraith cruisers on their way to it as well as an unknown vessel".
"We believe that there may be living Lanteans in stasis so we have prepared a ship for you, it is fully functioning and the same specs as your ship The Fanatus the only difference being that we made upgrades on the weapons system in form of energy weapons".
"They have a fast rate of fire and are designed to emit radiation on impact that will greatly drain any shields and quickly deteriorate hulls" he finishes.
"How do I know this is not a trick to destroy us?" is ask very sceptical of the whole thing.
"You must, we have worked hard to be able to help our masters and creators, it took much to overthrow the others and now all we want is for our creators race to once again grace the stars and for the wraith to suffer greatly the only proof we have is the mark of Janus that he left in the last update to our base code" He says.
"Check their base code and tell me if he is telling the truth" I tell Taiarus.
"It seems he is sir and it also seems this happened very recently, after we left stasis" he tells me.
"Okay we will go over and take that ship, what is its name?" I ask.
"Forward Through Dawn".
1 Hour later we had boarded the Forward Through Dawn and received the coordinates to this stranded ship and then after 10 minutes in hyperspace we get to the location.
It seemed the wraith cruisers were less that 1 minute away and the unknown ship was preparing to leave and that's when I noticed the signal…. That a ship was about to self destruct.
I scrambled to the transporter and beamed to their ship, quickly reaching the bridge I input the Lantean master override code for self-destructs stopping it dead in its tracks, I transport back to my own bridge and tell everyone to prepare for battle and to hail the unknown vessel.
"Unknown vessel, I am Patel, commander of the Lantean Warship forward Through Dawn, you have committed an act of war by trying to destroy one of our ships. State your intentions and race or we will be forced to open fire".
It only took seconds for a reply to come.
"Don't shoot we are friendly, my name is Steven Caldwell commander of the Earth ship Daedalus, we don't have the firepower to take out the wraith cruisers on their way so with the Commander of the Auroras consent we initiated its self-destruct" The apparently Earth ship replied.
"So you have the commander of the ship hostage is that it?" I ask.
"No we don't, he is still on the ship, after being in stasis ten thousand years the entire crew is beyond resuscitation as their bodies would give out". The earth ship replied.
"That seems fair enough but we ask you to leave the system now, our ship is more than a match for 2 cruisers and we will be taking the Aurora back home to repair and help the crew" I ordered.
The Earth ship didn't waste any time before jumping away and not long after that the 2 cruisers came out of hyperspace, they lasted less than 30 seconds under the intense radiation of the new weapons.
After dealing with the cruisers the FTD towed the Aurora into hyperspace back to Asura to see if the Asurans could repair it.
Helping the crew wasn't hard, the stasis pods weren't at fault for the ageing but the power system was.
The pods were designed to be powered from the ships main or auxiliary power and to use the small generation capacity of itself as a last resort the only downside of the internal power is it isn't enough to stop all damage.
So because the Aurora had no power to give the pods the crew aged in them but now that power was restored they stopped ageing entirely and with the advancements of Lantean medical technology it wasn't hard to heal all of the damaged cells and "reverse" the aging process.
Although it was easy it was still time-consuming but could be done from the pods themselves, and by the time the FTD had towed the Aurora back to Asuras the crew were all back at the condition they were when entering the pods.
When the ships returned to Asura a very surprising sight waited for them, the Fanatus fully repaired and in orbit but that wasn't the only part, the 5 other Aurora class ships sitting there also caused a reaction but that again, wasn't all.
During the Lantean Wraith war during later stages when facility's started falling the Lantean high council thought it prudent to make all facility's moveable by hyperspace so shipyards and all other orbital production facility's were modified to be hyperspace capable.
And sitting in orbit of the planet were 2 Emperor class shipyards, largest ever created and with capability of creating a city ship the only downside was the amount of power required by apparently that was thought of as well if the 2 Potentia factory's that were with them was any indication.
The other production facility's that were there included a drone factory, food production facility and a multipurpose creation factory.
The multipurpose facility was where chairs, consoles or any other general items that would be needed in a facility were created.
But the thing that surprised them the most was the city ship floating in orbit.
Suddenly the Aurora was repaired, it just went from completely derelict to pristine condition and then without warning every ship and facility entered hyperspace.
