The guards stationed there smirked and shook their head as he drove by as he looked for a parking spot. Finding one, he touched a button on his helmet and the safety equipment peeled back to reveal his handsome features, before forming into a brick about a inch long and quarter inch thick, before being absorbed back into the collar peice on his armor. He touched another button and silver sunglasses formed in his hand, which he immediately put on being absorbed in a nightvision enhanced world. The sensors automatically detected the various in the light levels and adjusted accordingly. He strode up to a heavily fortified door and retrieved his ident card from his pocket and swiped it through the scanner. Then he flipped his sunglasses lower on his nose and submitted to the eye scan. When everything checked out, the heavy door clanked loudly as it unlocked and opened slightly.<br/><br/>"Officer on deck!" someone shouted out, making some snap to attention. Raelyn snapped a lazy salute back and dismissed them with a wave of his hand. They all had better things to do than pay respects to him. He'd gotten the report. There was massive movement outside the system and early scans by remote satelites revealed it to be a military force made up of various races. It seemed this military force was the same one that had been hitting their other outlying systems. From the random small skirmishes that had been dealt in the outer systems, a number of alien bodies had turned up. It was presumed that these bodies were part of this military force but, no one knew for sure. They had only been able to recover a small amount of the bodies of the aliens, or atleast, ones that were left relatively intact that is. These invaders were serious house cleaners. Once the attacks stopped, their attackers simply dissapeared. It was simple luck that a satelite had picked up the movements and transmitted the images it had, and everyone knew it. Ofcourse, that still didn't answer some of the major questions like what did they want? how large was this military force? how many different species of aliens were joined together? and most importantly, if an attack did happen on ground zero or earth, would a peace treaty between Humanity and the aliens even be attainable? or would they be fighting for their very survival as a species?<br/><br/>Based upon some of the images Raelyn had seen, they were in for a serious fight on their hands if a peace treaty wasn't possible. Which Raelyn assumed was the case.<br/><em>This is some time to be getting a new team together but, what are you gonna do right?</em>Raelyn thought as he entered the barracks and went to his locker to equip the rest of his armor and weapons. A lieutenant found hm shortly after "Sir! Admiral Dodonna would like you to report to him when you have equipped your gear Commander sir!"<br/>"Thanks lieutenant. I'll get to him right away. Dismissed soldier" Raelyn saluted smartly and strapped on his leg armor after he checked his weapons. Then he shut his locker with a bang and strode towards the admirals office.
