Normandy 2
Alarms blare as everyone gets to their station. Joker frantically writes on a keyboard while Shepard stands behind him.
Shepard: Joker get us moving, I don't want more enemies than we already have.
Joker: I am detaching from the station now.
The ship shakes and starts moving.
Joker: Captain, I am receiving a message it's an unknown signal, but it's transmitting to the entirety of Omega.
Shepard: Pull it trough.
As joker plays the message, everyone listens in anticipation, waiting for what is it. Static tuning and adjusting is heard and then a voice that is robotic almost.
Admiral Sorbo: This is Admiral Torstein Sorbo of the Terran republic, we discovered your criminal rock and found its existence unacceptable here by I and regrettably my allies have come to the agreement we will occupy ... Omega and make it the greatest station and transport hub the galaxy has seen. We would like to request your cooperation, any resistance will be taken care of in force.
The message ends and the Normandy waits for orders.
Joker: Well what's the orders captain ?
Shepard: I am going to look at this situation later, for now we have more important matters to take care of.
With that, the Normandy leaves the system to explore the rest of the Omega Nebula and most importantly the Normandy.
Planetside fleet
TR Officer: Sir, there is a ship leaving the system.
Sorbo: Tell a Galaxy to shoot a tag at it.
TR Officer 2: We are about to reach the station, we have contact with all our allies. Sir they have certain demands.
Sorbo: That's for the politicians to figure out sent them the information and the relays our job here is done, instruct other fleets and ships to stay outside the system, let's keep the element of surprise. All ships are to be checked, and all crews interrogated for information.
TR: Officer 2: NC wants the docks' sir.
Sorbo: They will have it, do the inspections in space.
TR Officer 2: The Vanu are also interested in some authority in the station, but they are vague about their interests' sir.
Sorbo: All of that will be talked about back on Auraxis. We need to send all our information and order the troops to gather everything we can find that can be useful for this to become a jumping point to other locations. . Signal Auraxis we have acquired the station send all faction's demands and prepare for orders.
Auraxis haurs later.
The information that was acquired from the station about the Terminus system and it's factions and vague mentions of the Council and Alliance Information that was concerning to hear about humanity's alleged alliance with aliens. Mainly the information acquired is about local locations and systems. The most interesting thing is the mass relay in the System.
The information angered, horrified and made Auraxis United in a strange mission of hate. For the past 300 years, they fought for a planet that forgot abandoned and then gave up to an alien alliance. Even the Vanu devoid of morals felt abandoned the horrors they're with stud and the memories of sacrifices for science haunted their memory.
Élise Le Sueur Leading the meeting and being now responsible for logistics of the newly conquered system because of their ownership of the docks. She faces the challenge of presenting the new reality they are in.
Élise Le Sueur: Ladies and gentlemen, we have for the first since we arrived at auraxus faced the unknown. For the first time we are expanding conquering systems for the Republic united and facing the now new extra terrestrial treat of aliens with their own politics and agendas. We should stand together and drive a path to Earth, our home. With this I the main head of the New Conglomerate allow free travel through the Omega system we discovered and propose a Alliance of conquest and prosperity for our factions.
The room gathering the information they are presented didn't fail to notice a report of a giant rail gun used for travel around the galaxy from the natives. The TR leadership noticing it as a security treat and a potential loophole of their defenses suggested the Detonation of these Mass relays. Fortunately, the VS managed to dumb down the fears by suggesting making an enclosure like stricture with turrets and placing shields around the Mass relays. This makes it impossible to leave without moving through the checkpoints. Of course, they will be operating this system. With no actually alternative choice, it was accepted.
The other matter became the administration of Omega with 3 factions in control of different structures they all settled down on having 3 centers of administration. This would make it a hellhole for the locals, but it won't ignite a war and would make the TR VS and NC only grumpy at each other.
The final matter they discussed was expansion and the humans found in the system.
Élise Le Sueur: You might know that other Humans were found, although a minority. Their information proposes a wider galactic alliance humanity has entered.
A TR delegate jumped up " Preposterous, why have we fallen so low for the Republic to follow some other terrestrial senate."
Élise Le Sueur: That's what I am thinking... Excuse me. Although this is a very concerning revelation, we have found ourselves far far from earth to argue with them."
Wolfgang Zimmermann: Allow me to speak, chairman. The conflict between ideals of the Alliance and the old Terran republic if possible could be settled peacefully on the table of negotiations but consider that the security of this state and Ideals can only be safeguarded by the sword. People have changed since our departure in 2640. But with respect for the past 300 years matters were not decided by parties and leaders but by iron and blood, and it has been like that for eternity. I leader of the TR forces of Auraxus and member of the original expedition renounce these Ideals. The Earth and this self-proclaimed Alliance have formed and will order and campaign for humanity to prosper under its own banners and people once again.
Élise Le Sueur: With that the New Conglomerate has accepted in our meeting, we will support an independent Human Republic free from alien control. Our factories and services are at your disposal for a price, of course.
The Vanu breaking their silence inspired and invigorated to explore a new galaxy and finally use the technology they gathered
Seo Ano: Our followers sacrificed their lives for the prosperity and science and once we saw a glimpse of reuniting with our old home they sold it out the first chance they had. The Vanu sovereignty will support whatever plans are laid before us and will support all who fight for the betterment of Auraxus.
Cheers filled the room. As plans started being laid. Multiple Waves of expansion get drawn out. The Omega Nebula called by the locals will be divided and explored by all, a no man's land showing the unity of the factions of Auraxis. The second phase is trying to use the Mass Relays sending out 3 Battle fleets to conquer the wild North of the Galaxy, the Terminus system. Plans of total conquest of this system, dividing the East to the Vanu. The Vanu for an unknown reason were adamant on acquiring that part of the system for an unknown reason. The new Conglomerate still wanting profits even in this expansion want to be close to what they learned to be the more civilized part of the galaxy near the Citadel. The reasons given were trade and cooperation, but internally the NC have plans of their own. Terran Republic command Aquire the North and some outposts in the South, leaving them mostly isolated to the rest of the galaxy until they reach the south.
For the first time in years, armies get drawn out and mobilized. The edges of the system get filled with Bastions and fighters. The local station used to make the wormhole for the Omega system, being remade to accommodate such a massive fleet.
To not waste time the Omega nebula was segmented and divided among the factions, Bastions were sent to all systems in the nebula and orders to secure the sector were given.
Amada: Normandy crash site.
TR Bastion, The Iron fist.
Captain Alexander of the TR: Any news for this system.
TR officer: Negative sir all worlds are barren, only a crash site has been spotted on one of the dead planets. Its designation is Normandy.
Captain Alexander: Send in a recon team and engineering crew, might as well establish a listening post here. Send any information recovered to me and then back to Auraxus.
TR officer: aye, aye, captain.
