Chapter Two: A Peaceful Resolution

(Captain Qewmik- the Gamoraa)

Qewmik nies Daum looked around the Gamoraa the Cargo Ship sent to research the strange object at the systems edge. It dominated the view, even their escort Insufferable Cruelty looked tiny in comparison. Strangest of all it had substance 832-3 as a core, the mass altering element had been experimented with, but tended to rip apart ships and cause havoc. Making it an Alpha class Hazardous substance. One they were floating around who knows how much of.

One of his grippers dialled up the Insufferable. After a few seconds Captain Alax De Norma appeared on screen. "Ah Qewmik, have your boys found anything about the object yet?" Qewmik pull up the status report.

"Sorry but no we have nothing from long range scans, we are thinking of sending over a dropship to take some surface readings." The human in the monitor wiped some sweat off his forehead.

"Well please hurry up we are a month back to Fisha, and the fission engine is already boiling us alive." The Dua raised a smile.

"Captain, are you unable to take the heat?"

"No, some of us evolved for temperatures below a hundred."

"Well no point holding you any longer captain, I will call back when the team gets back. Long live the queen!"

"Long live queen Minsa!" The line disabled as the signal ended. Qewmik turned to his crew.

"Well you heard the pink skin, seven of you get over to the object before our escorts boil alive." The captain gestured a group of scientists, a humorous note to his voice.

(Dr Zix- Gamoraa dropship S-5)

Zix moved around in his bulky void suit as the dropship approached the object. His tendrils raping around each other in nervous anticipation. The ship almost touched the object it started to react. The world turned blue for a moment and then all was gone.

(Captain Alax- Insufferable Cruelty)

Alax liked to think of him self as a patient man. But the time it was talking for the Gamoraa to research the object was taking a toll, the boiling temperature of the macro fission generator was wearing on him after the last year. So when the object lit up and the dropship Gamoraa S-5 vanished half of the arsenal was ready to hit the object. "Sik get me through with the Gamoraa!" His communications officer rapidly typed in to the console, and Qewmik appeared on the command screen. "Qewmik what just happened to S-5?"

"We don't know there was a energy spike and it disappeared." The Dua was rubbing his grippers together in a show of nervousness. "Doctor Zix, was are for most expert on Substance 832-3 and he was on board when it vanished."

"Okay, try to figure this out, I will have a squad of warships come from Fisha, but until they get get here we are alone." The Dua's face fell at the thought of war, his eye visibly dimming. "What ever the object is we are to assume hostility, and we have no data on the object. We are going to try to communicate with it in case it can be reasoned with."

(Illio - The Third Might)

Illio looked over the bridge of her pirate ship, they had been running from the Turians after a failed attempt to assault one of their colonies for slaves. Illio looked at the Batarian that was piloting the ship, "Where is the next relay?" Illio knew that she was not going to like the answer.

"Their is only one other relay in the system, and it's deactivated." Illio knew that the Turians would be too close to the Third Might, for backtracking to be an option.

"Get us behind that has gas giant." In response to her command the crew burst into movement the ship moved from the relay to the opposite side of the planet. The other relay sat dormant in orbit of the planet.

After an hour the Turian patrol found no sign of her ship buried in the clouds of the gas giant, and left to pursue other avenues of her possible escape. The Third started to pull out of the atmosphere when a Hanar started to speak.

"Captain, this one is detecting anomalous reading from the Relay. This one believes someone is activating the Relay." Avana said while its tentacles danced over its console.

Sure enough Illio saw that the Relay was activated. Then in a burst of blue light a small ship only around 37 meters in length.

(Dr Zix- Gamoraa dropship S-5)

The moment of turbulence was over. The ship had some internal damage, but the central intelligence stated that S-5 was at 98% combat efficiency. The exterior sensor, and several coolant systems were the only thing that took major damage. But the hustling crew was quickly getting them back on line. "Sir, there a LASER tight beam, signaling us." The knight in charge of the dropship turned to the screen.

"CI, activate the communication network. Put it on screen." The screen lit up with static, and white noise echoed around the ship. "CI, where is my communication?"

"The data, different encryption, the structures, all different, updating software, need time, translation slow." The clip, computer responded. "Decoding, complete, sending stream, their encryption."

The static dissolved, and a creature stood in the screen, almost human like, but blue, and with tentacle hair. "Greetings, fellows amongst the stars, I am Sir Eree van Kilpi of Docla! I as a representative of the Kingdom of New Earth welcome you." The creature spoke in its own unintelligible words. "Zix get over here, you are a scientist, hopefully you can talk to them, CI I need exterior cameras, everyone else do something. I need full capacity in 8!"

Zix ran over to the camera removing his helmet, as he got there. "I am doctor Zix of Fash, I am a scientist and will be trying to translate your language. Hopefully we can make peaceful contact."

"Sir, Cameras Online, system 99.9%, image screen now." The bridge screen went from a white expanse to a image of the void, a gas giant stood imposingly in the background, a single ship filled the foreground. Staring down the dropship intently.

"Oh, in the name of Earth. We're in a different system, this is ground breaking we are at a different system in seconds, we could revolutionize our space travel. Sorry about that blue lady, but this mechanism, is amazing. Did you build it?" The orange light on the control board lit up signaling that the central intelligence was going to speak.

"Can't understand. Not speak. Translation incomplete. Working, days complete." The CI rambled on.

(Illio - The Third Might)

Illio watched as the strange alien ranted on, looking over she asked the VI how long would it take to translate into an understandable language.

"...and the object does it run solely on Substance 832-3? Or does it just use in it to create power, or achieve FTL? If you did make it how..."

The sudden change in languages startled the Asari. But hiding it quickly she responded with a simple greeting.

The alien in the image when offscreen and after a few minutes reprise another one came along, this one had a much more ornate silver coated outfit. "Greetings, fellows amongst the stars, I am Sir Eree van Kilpi of Docla! I as a representative of the Kingdom of New Earth welcome you. I am of the race Dua, and we share our space with a fellow race known as humanity. Would you inform me of your race and creed?" Illio Cannot help but smile at the situation here it was a miraculous event where she met not one but two new races, and she told her Batarian benefactors that she would come back with slaves beyond their wildest dreams, she thought she was just exaggerating. Rarity did it affect the price of the slave, and what's more rare than something never seen before?

"Hello I am Illio..."

(Eree - Gamoraa dropship S-5)

The S-5 dropship glided gently through the void towards them larger Third Might, as Asari called it. As they pulled into the docking bay, he could not help but wonder what of the various technologies that Illio explained to him, that they would have access to, upon hopefully allying with this Batarian Hegemony. Instant FTL, instant communication, and on ship FTL, if even half these things are true he could retire well, maybe become a lord, own his own colony.

"Okay everyone, void suits on. Mayu, Xaz you two have heavy weapons suits, so stand in the back. Zix you up here with me. CI, get your platform up here two your translation software may be outdated, but you could always be of use. Shi'kin stay on board work on sending a message back to our boys on the other side." The atmosphere was vented back into the ship as the door opened, exposing its crew to the greeting party.

"Greetings Sir Eree, I would be the first to welcome you to the greater galaxy. Now if you would just step this way I would be very interested in talking to you, and your crew." She had a strange accent, but it was probably part of the translation. They walked down the hallway missing the slightest jerk as the Third Might, headed to market.

[New Earth Kingdom intelligence network... NEKIN]

(CI)

Central intelligence is, are vastly intelligent south of the holding computer programs, however they are limited in the paths of evolution and although they have an advanced personality matrix they don't actually have a real personality. They can quickly query data and control most of the minor programs that human/dau hands would be clumsy upon, such as controlling the minor thrusters I keep a station in orbit. Some variant known as the strategic combat intelligence or SAI are available and are used in various combat situations.

(Query- «Direct Energy Weapons»)

Technology progress is slow with inconsistent and slow communication between humanity, so different kingdoms have different technologies. The New Earth Kingdom does field direct energy weapons, as a defense LASER, and vehicle turret. However the ridiculous energy consumption makes it limited to Anti-Air, and Anti-Missile uses.
