Citadel

Citadel Control tower

Musana was very happy in her position as one of the operators in Citadel Control. Most Asari in their maiden stage go out and get jobs as stripers and Mercenaries or just go explore the galaxy. She always wanted to experience the different types of people in the galaxy, however Musana was too socially awkward of going out to a bar, there was no way she was going out in the galaxy. So she went to go work in an environment that allowed her to experience the different people in the galaxy in the safety of the control tower. Unfortunately she only has a few minutes left of her shift, but another ship came in.

[This is Citadel Control, please state your business for coming to the Citadel and please also send necessary files for your stay there.] Musana said into the mic.

After a few minutes waiting they relied with. [This is the Asari Republic trading vessel Angles. We are here to trade various foods and ingredients. We are sending the files now.] Replied the vessels captain.

'Huh going to Sekara ward hey?' she though and making sure they are legit she turned her mic back on to say. [Files are confirmed, please proceed to your requested dock H51 located in the Sekara ward.]

"What the hell?" She whispered, as her screen showed that sector P7 had a massive buildup of radiation. Suddenly a three new contacts showed up, but it could be right, the two out of the three new ships were 5km long with the other 7Km long! How? Who? What is this?! How is this possible? She turned around to her superior "Arrr….Sir, new ship you may want to see it!"

"I know, just answer the hail as any other ship, it's probably just an error in the system." The Turian said turned back to his console

[Um…This is Citadel Control, Please state your business and please send the necessary files to dock.] 'Goddess I hope it's just an error' she thought

[Evening this is Admiral Tomas Lasky in charge of the UAWS or Unified Alliance WarShip Infinity. We request an audience with your leaders as we are new here.]

'It's a first contact….I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO SPEAK TO THEM!' Musana was shaking, she had never wanted this she only wanted to deal with merchant vessels coming to sell things. NOT massive warships that are owned by a completely new nation! [I…I…Will get boss people, Have a day wonderful! um...yeah] she turned to her Turian boss. "Sir…new people, need people…talk" was the last thing she said as she fainted.

After two hours of waiting Admiral Lasky finally got a response. A message saying 'Please send a small dropship to the location attached' so here Admiral Lasky was in a pelican with Udina the UEG representative, Thel' Vadam representing all the ex-Covenant species with Tomas himself representing the UNSC and pelican over the years has had some upgrades it now goes faster, has more weapons and is bigger allowing more troops onboard and most importantly has heavy shielding.

After some time, we landed and got out with our own escorts of 10 SPARTAN IVs and 6 Sangheili Honor Guards. We were guided by the local police calling themselves Citadel Security or C-Sec for short. Eventually we get the elevator up the Council, the government of this part of the galaxy.

"I swear if this elevator goes up any slower we would be going downwards." Whispered one of the SPARTANS

After some quick preparations the Council triad was ready to negotiate with the new civilization calling themselves the Unified Alliance. However the only news they had is that they have destroyed an entire fleet and left. How they got here is unknown, how they got past the blockade around the 314 relay they were at, without any signals of attack from the blockage, is very frightening indeed. Now however they were outside in 3 ships that shouldn't exist, Valen said something about them not using Element Zero in their ships, but how? How do they work without it? How do they use FTL without it? 'Well I guess that's what STG and SPECTRES are for.' The Asari councilor Tevos thought

[Councilors, the elevator with them in it will arrive shortly. Be warned though they still have their weapons on them] Said the C-Sec captain in charge of escorting the new arrivals.

[That is not allowed captain and you know it, why wasn't their weapons confiscated?] Asked the Turian councilor Spartacus.

[Some of them threaten to "show us what they can do" if we tried to take it, sorry Sir but we could risk it.] Replied the C-Sec captain. Makes a bit of sense, don't want to have an accident like that just before a negotiation of peace. Spartacus turned to his colleges "You two hear that?"

"Yes, it doesn't help putting them in a good spot." Sighed councilor Tevos, thinking back to the Krogan negotiations. They had the same reaction to C-Sec confiscating their weapons, hopefully this doesn't end the same.

Eventually the elevator arrived, out walked three humans being escorted by what looked to be giant robots. And another group that were big reptilians. 4 of them had red armor with orange glowing patches, they were also carrying staffs. The main reptilian in the middle had large golden armor.

The three humans and the reptilian with the large golden armor walked onto the podium. They walked forward one by one announcing themselves.

"I am Admiral Tomas Lasky, representing the United Nations Space Command or UNSC, the human military arm of the Unified Alliance or just UA for short."

"I am ambassador Udina representing the United Earth Government or UEG, The human civilian arm of UA."

The big reptilian in golden armor came forward

"I am Thel' Vadam, Kaidon of Vadam Keep the Capital of Sanghelios. I am representing the Swords of Sanghelios, part of the Unified Alliance!" he bellowed, his deep voice making the people watching the negotiations a little frightened.

Finally a man in a black suit came forward

"Greeting I am Nathaniel, I'm just here to document this."

Admiral Lasky spook up again "Well why don't we start by showing our respective borders..."

1 hour before

UNSC Infinity

Waiting for response from Citadel Control.

"Sir we are sitting ducks here, we should at least have our missiles armed and ready" said Roland

"Just missiles?" Announced Nathaniel Black "With the Admirals permission I can have 10 prowlers cloaked and armed with nuclear missiles and a NOVA nuke onboard the station within 10 minutes." he continued smiling

The admiral sighed "4 prowlers and that's it, no nuclear weapons though and absolutely no NOVA is be used." Admiral Lasky replied 'God was he seriously thinking of using a NOVA weapon. Man I scares me that people like him are the leaders of ONI"

"Aye, Sir" Replied Nathaniel "By the way I will be coming to the meeting as someone documenting the event. They don't need to know that ONI exists unless completely necessary."

"Alright and why are you referring to me as sir?" Questioned Lasky

"Well, I am only a humble documenter sir. I didn't wish to upset you sir, oh I must be off, thank you for your time sir" Smiling we turned and walked out the door of the bridge.

Admiral Lasky turned around to look back that the Citadel Council use as there government, still wondering how this 'Nathaniel Black', if that is his real name, became the ONI leader.

UNSC Codex Entries

NOVA Nuclear Weapon/Bomb

The prototype NOVA Bomb uses nine fusion warheads encased in lithium triteride armor. When detonated, it compresses its fissionable material to neutron-star density, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold. This weapon is infamously known for being activated by accident inside a ship in orbit around a Sangheili planet, the bomb cracked the nearby moon in half, burned half the world making it inhabitable and destroyed the entire fleet. The only times it is authorized it be used is to destroy flood infected planets after being glassed first.

Type-196 Anti-Armor/Anti-Structure Specialized Heavy Tank or Rattle-snake

The Type-196 Rattle-snake is new and improved Cobra. The Rattle-snake is based in the Scorpion Tank shell but instead shoots a three round burst of a gauss cannon (basically it's a 3 round burst Hannibal tank from halo 5). The Tank also has its treads taken out and replaced with the anti-gav technology used by the Swords of Sanghelios, this allows the tank to traverse almost every terrain. However due to the power requirements for the gauss cannon and the anti-gav technology the tank doesn't have shields equipped.

I know every codex entry so far has been UNSC/UA tech, but they have new stuff.
