<div class="bbcode-border" style="border: 2px solid #9B7909;"><span class="bbcode-justify"><span style="color: #D4CAAA">Throughout the limitless extent of the universe there are clusters of all things known. Galaxies gather together, and within them, countless stars and planets. These galaxies hold endless possibilities. But unlike most galaxies, there floats one solitary disk in the sea of absence that is the vacuum of space. It swings across the sea of darkness in absolute silence, the fact that countless stellar civilizations struggled within it's confines would be the last of your expectations from Aureal. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
But much alike it's kin, this galaxy holds countless life- and life's most basic need is conflict. Endless wars were waged, countless overarching stellar nations were founded and felled. This was the cycle of which the universe rules it's subjects through. Be it a machination or simple coincidence, it matters little what these answers may be, for you and your stellar nation fights not the nature of the universe itself, no. It fights those who question your will, whatever your chosen weapon may be. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Countless tales and derelicts float across both space and through cities. Great, powerful artifacts speak of unlimited power, but also of unquestionable history. The universe is a living entity, it's inhabitants even more so. It would continue on without you, but your stellar nation is still apart of it. To make a mark in history, or maybe even the galaxy- that may be your goal, or it may not. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
But one thing is certain, no mortal does not seek for Aureal.</span></span><br>

<div class="bbcode-border" style="border: 2px solid #9B7909;"><span class="bbcode-justify"><span style="color: #D4CAAA">Darkness ensued, the last bastion of the Hakkai had been pierced, and soon their capital world of Otan would be next in line for ascension into the heaven that is the void. The invasion fleet, clouded in mysteries and the unknown, began it's planetary bombardment. The world nigh-on instantly fell into an eerie silence, save from a few ground-to-space installations firing their weapons in final desperation.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The world was dead, all it's hope for salvation had been shattered in the five seconds it had taken for the Invaders to blanket the Hakkai homeworld in blazing fire. The once crown-jewel of the galaxy had been reduced to specks floating in the vastness that is space. The Hakkai were now nothing but remnants, their memories littered space in the form of unknown artifacts and silent derelicts passing through the emptiness of space, no end in sight. The Invaders had begun consuming the destroyed planet, eating it's minerals, embracing every bit of the planet's riches. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Around their great warships littered carcasses of metal which once had united the galaxy, the entirety of it. The universe had been shaken upon this day, the very fabric of history would forever be forgotten. An empire so great had been reduced to rubble within an instant, it's great sprawling metropolises had been turned into asteroids and asteroid belts. History had been altered forever, and little could be said about it.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
With their fall, however, others rise in their place. The Era of the Hakkai and their foolish lust for power had driven them to the edge of destruction, it's planets having been conquered so easily that the man once known throughout the entire galaxy as the Immortal King had decided to take his own life before his conquerors could. A legacy ends, but others may now begin. Former infant nations now kick into life, their reach goes outwards, their gazes even more so. In the wake of what the Hakkai had called the Invaders there was now new life, the Phoenix had died, and it's soul had now split into many and these nations whom were many have now come to life.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The era of the Phoenix has both ended and begun.</span></span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Not my problem."  One of the Barast troopers curtly stated.  "If we don't stay on watch, then it'll become our problem.  Last thing we want is the filthy and out of context polluting our space."  A diligent trooper already admonished the curt soldier.  "Cut the chatter you two fools!  You're both making this post look like a dysfunctional family!"  An officer radioed the post to dissolve any arguments.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Ah well.  We'll continue during our break."  The two Barasts readied their plasma weapons.  The plasma weapons were tuned in a way to deal heavy damage.  One was a sniper and the other acting as spotter and heavy weapons to destroy any cover a potential enemy can use.  The post was rather secure, with support and assault personnel acting as backup.  They were located in the fringes of Ulanka, making them expect giant monsters.  One assault gently stroked his pet Gilinki.  It was at the heat half the Barast's heigh and helped the troopers detect any enemy.  When push comes to shove, the Gilinki was equipped with sharp teeth and an acidic bite.  One support ate a jerky as a snack.  "Good charkins."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Snishki, what would I ever do without you?"  The Barast said to his pet.  The support gave a charkin snack to the assault and the Gilinki.  "You'd need them more than I will."  "Thanks."  It was a routine day of the post, watching over scary monsters that could eat the citizens.  The snack break was used well as a cooldown between the doting assault and the hungry support.  Both patrolled around the post to check for anomalies.  If there was any problems, they would let the others know as well as attacking with plasma weaponry.</div>

<br>
Well, that wasn't a <i>shooting star</i>, more like a shooting ship - that was currently skitting the upper atmosphere, before it started to loose gravity and fall towards the planet; having had their FTL-drive go boom during mid-flight. Judging by the trail and damage and blaze of it - it would crash into the ground, at around ten seconds and five milliseconds.<br>
<br>
<br>
And with its trajectory it would impact close-by to their location, around a kilometre radius.</div>

<span style="color: #fafafa"><div class="bbcode-background" style="background-color: #020202;"><div class="bbcode-background-text">All Gozai younglings learn the tale of Ra'surrah, legendary third-millenia Ambassador. Any being who deems itself worthy of calling Gozai United a "foe" would be wise to learn it as well.</div></div></span><div class="bbcode-background" style="background-color: #020202;"><div class="bbcode-background-text"><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Of course, since he is of the Im-Kaihep, "Ra'surrah" is not is REAL name; it is simply the most common tongue-speak name he's been given. His true name, </span><span style="color: #fafafa"><span style="font-family: 'Courier';">&lt;&lt;the sound of armies cheering their own demise&gt;&gt;</span></span><span style="color: #fafafa">, is not pronounceable by any race which cannot alter its physical form.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Four millenia ago, Emperor Edamund Goldshine of the Tarn Imperium sought to expand their territories in Gozai-controlled space, and they made no allusion to the inconvenience Gozai United's presence caused them. Their terms were simple and straightforward: Gozai United would have six months to vacate their worlds, or face utter annihilation.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The CEO of Gozai United at the time was K'tal, a Xothi who respected Emperor Goldshine's direct approach. Nonetheless, war is one of the few apocryphal taboos of Gozai culture, and K'tal was determined not to mar his legacy with such a stain. This is why, after interviewing several candidates, Ra'surrah was chosen to negotiate new terms.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Ra'surrah did everything a diligent and resourceful member of the Incentive Division could do. He studied countless Marketing Reports, conducted clandestine surveys of their populace, and scoured Gozai's latest and most advanced cultural offerings to find a bargaining chip worthy of Emperor Goldshine. With his all-comprehensive Grand Agenda Docket in hand, Ra'surrah gained audience with the Emperor.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
There was little fanfare for Ra'surrah's arrival. The Tarn have little respect for ambassadors and negotiation; they are tolerated as necessary formalities, and only for the sake of Aureal's galactic community. Their intent, going in to the negotiation room, was to hear what Ra'surrah had to say, and then send whatever part of him counts as a head back to K'tal.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Ra'surrah, of course, knew this. The Marketing Division is, if nothing, a thorough study and a keen projector of possibilities. With his life on the line, Ra'surrah brought with him a gift that he hoped the Emperor would appreciate.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The Emperor sat in his ostentatious golden seat at one end of the table, surrounded by an entire platoon of soldiers - beings whose entire existence was devoted to ending the existence of other beings, at the snap of their Emperor's fingers. Ra'surrah was allowed only a single Page to assist him; the two sat at the other end, in small backless stools. Beside them, sits a small box with a sheet over it.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The Emperor opened the discussion: "Make it quick, Ambassador. I've supper in a half hour and your homeworld's terraforming to orchestrate after that."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Ra'surrah had taken the form of a Tarn male, knowing it would be perceived poorly; Tarn culture considers any attempt to gain empathy as an admission of weakness. He smiles, in the manner Tarn consider smiling, and waves his Tarn-shaped hand at the box. "I will waste very little of your valuable time, Your Highness," said Ra'surrah, "I only wish to offer you a gift. Just one small reminder of what Gozai United could offer the Tarn Empire. It is intended to help you consider the benefits of alliance."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The Emperor rolled his eyes. "Proceed," he said flatly.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Ra'surrah motioned to his Page, who lifted the sheet. Inside the three-foot-square box, can be seen what looks like two small figures. One of them, a small female figure, struggling against bonds as she is tied up beside a whirring machine. The machine reaches into the figure's abdomen every few seconds, yanks out an internal organ, and feeds it to the figure. The removed organs appear to grow back very quickly.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The other figure is a small man, hooked up to a harness which holds his eyes open and binds him into place. His head is directed towards the first figure. An endless stream of tears cascade from his tiny eyeballs.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The Emperor turned up his lip in disgust. "What a demented little trinket. I'd expect nothing less from Gozai devils, but tell me, simply, and to spare me having to contemplate such a foolish tchotchke... What possible reason could such a macabre artifact have for changing my mind about your accursed empire of monsters?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Ra'surrah made a calm smile with his faux-mouth, and told the Emperor, "I wish to show you Gozai United's two greatest cultural contributions - our medical science, and our art. Let us start with the latter; this piece is called 'The Exalted Dictator Of Horumar And His Virgin Daughter', and the artist was inspired by events in Gozai's history - specifically, the time when we were, ah... </span><span style="color: #fafafa"><i>at odds</i></span><span style="color: #fafafa"> with the Horumari Regime."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The Emperor coughed, but remained annoyed. "Never heard of them," he replied.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
"Naturally," said Ra'surrah, "And a lesson about them would be worthless, as their culture is now but whispers on the phlogiston. At one time though, the Horumari were a race of hundred-foot-tall warrior giants, whose thirst for the blood of others was dwarfed only by their lust for territory. They came to Gozai United seeking little more than the decimation of our peoples and interests, and offered no quarter. The artist has chosen here to represent their destructive ways through Gozai's most common artistic medium - our medical science."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The Emperor stirred slightly. "How exactly does 'medical science' explain this horrid contraption?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
"Glad you asked," said Ra'surrah, "As you may know from our pamphlets and press releases, Gozai United is the premier expert in Aureal medical science. Our medicine artists can do miracles with the flesh of others. In this case, the artist has done the miracle of shrinking both the Exalted Dictator of Horumar, </span><span style="color: #fafafa"><i>and</i></span><span style="color: #fafafa"> his virgin daughter, to the size you see before you, all while granting them the blessed gift of forever-life."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
A few uncomfortable seconds of silence followed, as the Emperor considered this. "You mean to tell me... That </span><span style="color: #fafafa"><i>thing</i></span><span style="color: #fafafa">... used to be..."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Ra'surrah then does something no self-preserving ambassador would ever do in the presence of royalty - he interrupts the Emperor. "Still is, actually. The artist was very selective about his medium, you see; only the finest materials would convey his vision. What you see before you, is the Exalted Dictator being forced to watch, as his youngling daughter is force-fed her own organs for eternity. If I may, I would like to draw your attention to my favorite part of the piece, here; you can see how his tears now fill nearly a quarter of the space in this containment vessel.  I am actually a bit jealous of your grandchildren, who shall enjoy the delicious privilege of seeing the Exalted Dictator drown in his own tears."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Ra'surrah slid the gift across the table, gently and with great respect. "'Tis a gift, Your Highness, no strings attached. Please keep it regardless of how this meeting goes, with the blessings of CEO K'tal and Gozai United."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
The Emperor choked twice before he could speak. "How, exactly, did you..." His voice trailed off.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Ra'surrah chuckles and taps the side of his nose. "Proprietary secret, I'm afraid," he said, "We share only the results of our arts and sciences, not their methods. Perhaps we could be... </span><span style="color: #fafafa"><i>compelled</i></span><span style="color: #fafafa">... to ply our trade for you and your beloved people?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
After three more hours of tense negotiation, the Tarn agreed not only to end their plans for expansion, but to grant Gozai United an exclusive trade agreement in exchange for medical supplies. The Tarn Empire enjoyed four more generations of prosperity, until one too many deals resulted in Gozai United incorporating the Tarn's planets entirely into their holdings.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fafafa"><br>
Here ends the lesson.</span></div></div></div><div class="bbcode-border" style="border: 1px solid #ffffff;"><div class="bbcode-background" style="background-color: #020202;"><div class="bbcode-background-text"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"WARNING!  UNKNOWN ENTITY DETECTED!  ASSUME HOSTILITY!"  The officer blared over the radio.  The sniper and spotter duo investigated from far distance.  Using a variety of far-distance detection, they determined the body to be an alien ship, having the support and the assault at the ready to fire warning shots.  "Let's keep our distance."<br>
<br>
<br>
The sniper and the heavy contacted the support and the assault.  "We got your backs, but be careful."  The Gilinki growled and hissed when the ship was crashed near them.  Plasma rifle and scattergun were readied with itchy trigger fingers.  News would reach the Barast populace soon after.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Barast has one new mentality: to prepare for war.  Whatever aliens would come, they'd be ready as warfare was their main preperation when it came to protecting their isolationism.  The Barasts were slightly spooked by the interruption, but they were taught to be fearless and not to give up in the face of adversity.  This would test their mettle and resolve.</div>

As one Icarusian was in the process of strangling another, in a humorous sense. "You damn, newborn. Flying. Through. A neutron star. Is not. A good idea!" replied Hana, currently smothering Jeene' head into the organic wall, know as the hull of their ship.</div>

The man was a new recruit fully trained and his named Tarken, he was assigned as squad leader, black short hair, brown eyes, and a optimistic man. The others were also human grunts except for one, on the other side of the group was their heavy machine gunner. His name was Utuik and was a Dynkloid, a seven foot tall furry white creature with four black eyes, claws, and proboscis which they made a high-pitched chrips and buzzes. "(Well actually I heard that our Regiment was going to be assigned to a mission tomorrow)", Tarken looked at Utuik with wide eyes and nearly choked on his drink.

"If you understand what we are saying, you have ten seconds to identify yourselves.  Repair your ships, but do not get too close.  Get too close and we will open fire!  Are we clear?"

<br>
<br>
"Look at the red giant. Its light perfectly balances that of the third moons blue glow, which causes the mountain's shadow to paint this valley in such a wonderful pattern. It is truly breathtaking." The fragile creature glowed with enthusiasm, swirling hues projecting off its body.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah, well, it doesn't really help us decide on how to settle this planet now does it?" The larger being never took his eyes off the thick blanket of moss that sprang up in the distance, his rifle always ready. He did not have time for such pleasantries as looking at the sunset, he had scouted too many worlds for that. Native life was never friendly to scouts. Never.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Lorenganel eyed his Palorikan friend. His green tinted fur could not even be seen through the thick armored plating of his environment suit. Such a shame it was that this habit had been picked up by the Palorikan species as a whole. They rarely ventured to new colonies without hermetically sealed suits, and even then the established colonists still had such suits locked up safe and functional in their closets. Their pasts had defined their future in a way that hid their visage from the worlds they would come to inhabit, yet it was understandable. The Lorenganel never had to worry about being wiped out by rogue viruses or alien bacteria, their biology simply wouldn't allow it. Still, he wish he could see his friends face without the harsh lighting of the frigate.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yes, I understand Sytin," the Lorenganel replied as he read the swirling mess of multicolored holograms that could only ever make sense to a species whose entire purpose had been to create and sculpt the galaxy, "And it seems that this world is a perfect candidate for a new colony world. Atmosphere checks out, as does the UV levels and background radiation. Life is carbon based with a deoxyribonucleic acid genetic profile, so it is all compatible with your biology." The Lorenganel waved an arm through the holograms, causing the sensors and projector to flash a bright blue before being deconstructed back into a small carrying disk. The small, penny sized object flew back into the Lorenganel's grasp.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Looks like we found the big three-O, huh?" Sytin laughed as he backed towards the shuttle. He was actually surprised by the lack of hostile animal life on this world, something he had always experienced when scouting. Perhaps thirty was their lucky number. "Let's go Warmth-of-Color, we got to report this back home."</div>

"Your a newborn, who can't fly without hitting a Deda-bettle," said Hana to Jeena who was slowly rising up; covered in dirt.<br>

"We had bad pilot! Fix ship! Leave then! Sorry for forest! Want to trade?!" asked Hana, hoping Jeena hadn't demolished some scared forest. The last two trips had been like that.</div>

At this distance the absolute darkness of the black hole hung large in the sky. Starlight bled at its edges lost forever to the gravity. Here though was where the Hegemony could stretch its reach. Traffic bounced around the dead star intent on building the network or searching the heavens.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Cruising at twenty percent light the tiny ship swept up toward the local transfer gate. One of a dozen such vessels currently operating out of GateWay 11.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Alright ladies, T-90 to gateway. I'm showing green, any deviations?" Called Captain Gantith with long practiced ease. The rapid fire negatives steeled her nerves as the ship lined up to thread the needle once more. "Pilot, you have final go. The ship is yours."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Pilot Frens settled lower into the flight couch, computers may guide the ship at these speeds but they could only ever be as good as the operator running them. Seconds ticked by as the numbers flew across her consoles. "Flight holding green. T-30 to jump." Ahead a point of space rippled under the strain of a hundred gravity drives, warping local space into something far more useful. "Gate activation."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Tension rose to crescendo before washing away in the light of a new star. "Jump complete Captain. Standing down to standard operations."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Releasing a breath she hadn't realized she was holding Captain Gantith rubbed a tired eye before speaking. "Thank you Frens. Lets be about it people. Lay in a course for the prospective planet. I want deep scans ready for transfer by dinner time. Lets see if it was worth the trip."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Antenna and scanners emerged from the across the hull, relaying information straight to the survey bay. Scans begain to feed into the computers and almost immediately something registered. Yellow alert triggered across the ship sending crew scrabbling back to their couches.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Gantith snapped back to full alertness. "What is the problem?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Uh, Captain... It's a ship!"</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><br>
<b>Khalast: Transport Shuttle of Frigate </b><b><i>Discoverer's Grasp</i></b><br>
<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
"Good work Sytin and Warmth-of-Color, we are relaying the findings home as we speak." The orange-red furred Palorikan displayed on the screen ruffled his bright blue mane in approval. They had found yet another colony, one which did not seem to posses any terribly vicious predators, sulfur spewing volcanoes, or constant meteor showers. It even had a large red giant similar to home. It should be a quick and easy job to settle.<br>
<br>
<br>
The pair on the grounded shuttle stood, and floated, in front of the ship-board screen, satisfied. The Lorenganel by the eventual colonization of the beautiful planet, and the Palorikan by the approval of his superior.<br>
<br>
<br>
"That is good to hear Captain Amirt. Are we clear to rejoin the <i>Discoverer's Grasp</i>?" Sytin asked, relieved that he could finally get back to the ship for some shut eye. They had been on the planet for thirty-six hours straight, monitoring the atmosphere, biosphere, tectonic movements, and the 'artistic values' of the world.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Of course Sytin. You and Warmth have earned a vacation, perhaps even to..." The Captain was silenced as a Lorenganel technician, Hue's Breadth, flew beside him. The Lorenganel was dull hued, the swirling patterns slowed to a near stop as he spoke urgently to the captain. The seemed to talk for a bit, neither Warmth-of-Color nor Sytin making out what was said.<br>
<br>
<br>
Finally, Captain Amirt turned back to the screen, a somber look in his face. "It appears that an alien vessel has appeared in system has begun scanning the area."<br>
<br>
<br>
Warmth-of-Color immediately ceased to give off his gorgeous display, instead displaying dull, ugly colors. He even trembled slightly, something that his species only did when faced with absolute terror. "Is, is it <i>them? </i>Please tell me it isn't <i>them</i>." Memories flashed throughout his swirling mind. Tales of the monsters who, without provocation, set out on a genocidal campaign against his peaceful species. However, now it wasn't just them. They had the Palorikan alongside them. Had his species doomed the Palorikan to extinction by trying to help? By trying to fulfill an ancient prophecy? He prayed to God not.<br>
<br>
<br>
Captain Amirt shook his ears. "No. From the records we have on the attackers, this ship is much too small and different in design. It is apparently a different species. However, we must maintain vigilance, we have no idea what their intentions may be."<br>
<br>
<br>
"What should we do?" Sytin asked, his steely gaze never once showing fear. Yet he knew of why his friend was scared, and he felt the same fear as well. However, fear in an of itself is nothing but raw emotion, something he would craft into determination and bravery.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Wait down on the planet, if they are hostile, it'll be your job to send back any information on who they are and what weapons they used. Understand?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Sytil stood up tall on his frontal foot, ears laid back and mane bristled up. "Sir yes sir. I understand."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Good, we will be sending out the First Contact Drone now. May God watch over you."<br>
<br>
<br>
"You too sir."<br>
<br>
<br>
"<i>Discoverer's Grasp </i>out." And with that, the screen shut off, leaving the two beings to stew in their own thoughts and fears.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<b>Khalast Orbit: </b><b><i>Discoverer's Grasp</i></b><br>
<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
The drone flew out of it holding bay, moving slowly towards the alien craft. Everyone on board the sending frigate staring at viewports and screens. The entire crew held their collective breaths. This would determine whether these aliens would be friend or foe. Whether a war would start.<br>
<br>
<br>
The bright white metal of the drone shined in the rays of the sun, its organic curves causing the light to bounce forth from the there drone and into space, giving any ship a clear visual of it as it slowly made its way to the new vessel. The one thought going through its preprogrammed mind was to initiate contact in a way an alien species could understand. When it reached visual range of the new ship, it stopped, unfolding brilliantly intricate and delicate looking prongs before casting off many rays of light.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was a projector. The image it sowed was of a diagram of the two ship facing each other. Within the image of the <i>Discoverer's Grasp</i>, green and white dots appeared. Inside the picture of the alien ship, red dots appeared. The diagram zoomed out of the two ships, putting them on opposite sides of the planet Khalast. From each ship, a small shuttle carrying their respective color of dots left and landed on the planet, les than a kilometer apart. The dots then exited both the shuttles before meeting up in the center of a field. The projection repeated itself several more times before it folded up its limbs and flew back towards the frigate.<br>
<br>
<br>
Everyone waited.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The Barasts, in their typically curt manner, replied roughly.  "No thank you!  We'll let you fix.  Then you leave!"  It was evident that the Barasts didn't entertain much.  They meant business.<br>
<br>
<br>
Growling Gilinkis didn't help one bit.  The Icarus aliens would notice how they were able to domesticate carnivorous plants.  The plants were loyal to their Barast masters in a deep manner.  The same difference between humans and dogs, Gilinkis were a Barast's best friend.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Icarusians would not have to be worried about being eaten.  Eating plants were taboo to the Barast people.  None of them would even touch the Icarusians, let alone eat them.  The Barasts just wanted to be left be.  Live and let live.  They will learn about the Barasts later on.</div>

"It finally happened. Real aliens..." Captain Gantith paused before slapping a foot down to mute the alarm. "Priority channel to Survey Command, Code Alpha-Chalie-Two. Jantis, talk to me. What do we have?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Jantis had been twitching her way though the data stream from the moment of the alarm. "Sensors pinged the artificial construct filter. Re-calibrating scanners from planetary </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
scanning... And here." The main screen filled with the slightly blurred visage of what was clearly a vessel of some kind.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"We have you </span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>Hydrophillia</i></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA">, live feed active." came the calm voice of Command. "You are online with Admiral Gibbens and Councillor Joana." Everyone straightened in their seats.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Captain Gantith, as senior on site command remains with you. An encounter team is launching as we speak, eta is approximately fire hours to your position. We are here to act as your liaisons in the mean time. Your orders are to remain on station unless contact is made." the Admiral said calmly. "Softly as you can Captain."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Order received Admiral."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Good, continue relaying information."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Sir." Gantith turned back to Jantis. "Talk me though what we have."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"300m long, solid construction. Orbit looks stable. Don't recognize some of these energy readings... I'm not seeing any reaction to us ye- NO. Launch! Single contact."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Red alert! Guns, point defense systems now!"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Captain! It's slowing down!" Jantis yelled. "Flight path changing to 0 speed intercept. I think it's a probe."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Hold fire. Are you sure Jantis?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"As I can be, Sir. Flight profile is the exact opposite of any missile I've ever seen."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Keep the guns warm, but only fire if it fires on us."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
As the probe came to a relative stop before beginning its light show.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
*****</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Well, I'd call that contact Admiral."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Yes, I don't think you should wait for the team. Too higher chance of misinterpretation. They clearly want to meet." The admiral sighed. "They utilize small craft for their ground to orbit operations and assume we do as well. I can understand the imperative to keep unknowns at a distance but we don't </span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>use</i></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"> anything smaller..."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Gantith shifted uncomfortably. "...Well that's not entirely true sir. We do have one thing smaller."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"What? Wait, you want to use an escape pod?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Want? No, but these guys seem peaceful. Positive relations may depend on this first contact. They want a remote meeting. I volunteer."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
A smoky voice cut over the comms. "You have a go Captain. Assistance is on the way, but peaceful first contact is of critical importance. You're 20 minutes out from the planet. Take up the suggested orbit, then go to the meeting."</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA">"As you command Councilor."</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Hana didn't reply to that, understanding mostly of what they had said - fix now, and leave please. So, she whistled out the other members of her group, to starting fixing up the plating that Jeena had damaged, when flying through the gravity well of a neutron star.<br>
<br>
<br>
All the while, Jeena was still playing around near to the Barast' forest edge around them. "Jeena! Stop being stupid and get away from there. We don't need you doing something stupid again!"<br>
<br>
<br>
The Barast were soon treated to the sight of one Icarusian' dragging another to the ship - and by her looks, she had been eating some leaves by the forest. "And stop eating, everything you find! Have some decency. I swear, they put idiocy into your DNA."<br>
<br>
<br>
However, that moment was soon shattered by some growling coming from inside the forest - likely the beasts, that the Barast' outpost was guarding the civilians against. And now, they were likely headed towards the alien' ship. "Oh great, what did you do now, Jeena?"</div>

<br>
<br>
A collective sigh of relief was heard throughout the bridge as the alien ship began to enter the given orbit. It seemed the aliens were willing to cooperate, at least for now anyway. Captain Amirt leaned back on his tail, realizing he had been holding his breath the entire time. Still, this was not a time to relax. He had to orchestrate a peaceful first contact meeting.<br>
<br>
<br>
Standing back up straight, Amirt looked over to Hue's Breadth, now more colorful that he was before. "Do we have anyone that is properly trained to deal with a peaceful first contact scenario?"<br>
<br>
<br>
The Lorenganel technician looked up from his holograms, his eyes quickly changing from red to green. "Well, no sir. The nearest personal who has been trained for first contact with a space-capable race is on the <i>Primordial</i>. It is on its way now and should be here within six hours. Less if warp-space is smooth today."<br>
<br>
<br>
"You've gotta be kidding me." Amirt rubbed the center of his forehead, trying to figure something out. "We don't have three hours. Are you sure there is no one on board with any experience in this matter?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"Well," Hue's Breadth rubbed an appendage in the crook between his head and his wings, "there is one person we have. Warmth-of-Color was at the original first contact meeting between our two species. He wasn't involved however, he was just present as a recorder to insure that the moment would be catalogued."<br>
<br>
<br>
The captain sighed as he looked at the screen of the alien vessel. This would be his best option for the moment. "Sytin is not going to like this."<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Khalast: First Contact Landing Perimeter</b><br>
<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
"I cannot believe this." Sytin huffed as he opened the door to the exterior of the planet. His environment suit was hanging on its hook, he only wearing his uniform.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I know, I cannot believe this either!" Warmth-of-Color answered, his body positively glowing with brilliance and excitement. "We are going to make contact with a brand new species. One which does not want to wipe us out without reason!" His eyes glimmered a childlike blue.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sytin just shook his ears and scoffed at the two-hundred year old creature's enthusiasm. He was much too excited about this for his age. He did not see the potential dangers that lay in his path. Then again, that is why they had allied themselves with the Palorikan, they needed protection from the dark forces of the universe that would use them for their own advantage. Still, he did have a faint glimmer of hope that this would not end in war. The Palorikan might be a race that glorifies combat and martial skill, but war is never wanted.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Well of course your excited, you don't have to worry about infection." Sytin half-joked with his companion. He was still worried of catching a deadly alien disease, like the one the had nearly caused his species extinction.<br>
<br>
<br>
Warmth-of-Color turned to look at his companion, seeing the hidden fear within him. "You do not need to worry my friend," Warmth spoke as he put an appendage on Sytin's shoulder. "Even if you do manage to catch a disease despite the stabilizers you have taken, we will just deconstruct whatever it is that ails you, monitor its uptake, and create a cure. You will be fine. Now let us make our way to the meeting spot."<br>
<br>
<br>
And with that, the Palorikan and the Lorenganel began to walk to the rendezvous point.<br>

<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Escape pods are an after thought to most ships. The odds of being in range of another ship or planet when you need to use one are slim. Comfort was not a priority. Gantith squeezed her abdomen into the tight space, thankful she hadn't grown any larger. Legs folded tightly under her, gripping the shock webbing with practiced ease. Efficient hands double checked belts and locks. More packed equipment into the already tight space. Over it all Jantis continued to relay information.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Captain, I've tied your computer directly to my board. It's rigged to transmit everything back to Command. From the sound of it they've dragged every linguist and xeno-what-have-you they can find into this mess. I'll try to run interference between you and the experts. We haven't even met the aliens yet and they've done little but yell in my ear." Jantis spoke over the legs of the techs strapping her in. Worry clearly etched itself on the junior officers face. "...Oxygen is a little low so make sure to keep the breather on hand."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Jantis, calm down, your beginning to repeat yourself." Gantith said suppressing a grunt as a strap was pulled extra tight. "You will do fine, just keep them on point."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"I wish they'd let you take some amour."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
-Sigh- "Me too, but it would be somewhat counter productive to turn up in power amour to a first contact. They might think we're metal or something."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Heh."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Better." The techs pulled back final checks complete. "I suppose its time to go then. Keep her warm for me Jantis."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Yes Captain." Jantis saluted as the hatch slid shut.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
********</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Strapped in the metal coffin with only the steady reverberation of her own breathing for company Gantith never felt more claustrophobic. She flexed reflexively, straining at the shock web. Suddenly the screen ahead of her came to life rapidly counting down the ejection sequence.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
G-forces slammed her back into the webbing. Capacitors emptied their change firing the pod out into space as fast as possible. Gantith blacked out.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
********</span><br>

<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA">Gantith snapped awake to the thump of landing. The pod had worked as advertised. She thanked the hardworking techs making a note to up their rations.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
She slapped the release to find herself in a grassy field. Better than basic training. That had been a swamp.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"-Captian Gantis respond!-"</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Here. I'm up."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"Oh Captain. You made it!"</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"So it seems Jantis." Gantith popped half a dozen joints in a rolling crackle. "...So it seems. Status please."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"Right, OK. You're about a kick out from the meeting point. Updating your display now."</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Gantith checked her wrist display to confirm. "Thankyou." She turned back to the pod to gather her bag of gear. "Shouldn't be much of a hike. Compliments to the tech team."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"I'll pass it on Captain."</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
With one last look over the pod Gantith swung her bag onto her back. "Right then, off we go."</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Ali looked over to the control board. He hated being on probe watch. It was basically watching the probes which explored space every few minutes. There was never anything to look at, just endless amounts of space. He looked at probe #172 before turning off the console. He yelled to his partner, Jamie. "Dude, you got anything on the probes?.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Nah mate, all just the black abyss and endless stars like normal."<br>
<br>
<br>
I looked at him and sighed "You ever think we will find anything?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"Probably not, we havent in the last few decades, i doubt theres anything hiding out there"<br>
<br>
<br>
I nodded and walked towards the door with Jamie. It was the end of our shift and we always headed to the bar at the end of it. Just as i opened the door and nearly left the alarm started flashing.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Ali what the hell is that???"<br>
<br>
<br>
"I have no idea, lemme check" I looked into the controls and saw the alarm flashing. Under the alarm it said, 'Inorganic, moving soruce detected by probe #24. I turned on the console and saw something. A ship with a sign and name that looked like 'barast....' the rest was unreadble. I looked to Jamie and said "Get the supervisor, we actually found something."</div>

<br>
On the surface of Ulanka, the Barasts troopers from the outpost were on the ready.  "Get ready to take cover in your ship."  Focusing on the ruffling noises, it was a <a href="http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/binturia/images/1/1f/Vegetarian-monster.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130523002847" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fvignette2.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fbinturia%2Fimages%2F1%2F1f%2FVegetarian-monster.jpg%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20130523002847&amp;hash=b458349ae86cd26b3bfc5f1e10746bf3" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">larger Gilinki</a> as a mount for the Barastian officer.  The Barastian soldiers saluted immediately.  "I have received a report on aliens that resemble our Gilinki.  I have came to verify them.  Hoaxes are not tolerated."<br>

Barasts didn't entertain much.  They were also dead serious and aloof to strangers.  The precious isolationism may be interrupted.  Hopefully, no wars or conflict would break out as Barasts do not take kindly to invasions.</div>

The area was a large clearing in the field, where the tall grass died down for the more common moss that covered the planets surface. A small lake, its waters a sparkling blue threw of red rays from the star, was present nearby. A single, large tree was on its shore, holding massive flowers that seemed too large for its elegant silver branches to hold. It was the effect place for first contact.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sytin and Warmth-of-Color had arrived just a few moments earlier, the pair's gaze having first followed the burn of what they assumed to be the alien's shuttle, and then the environment around them. Warmth was committing the scenery to memory, in the hopes that he could recreate the scenery on his hem colony for other Lorenganel to enjoy. Sytin, on the other hand, was standing at attention, his face without emotion. He let the sounds of the wild, the wind, the creatures, and the water rush through his mind, sharpening his attention and wit. He would need to be at peak efficiency to represent his entire race.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Our guest should be here soon." Warmth-of-Color said as he looked across the tall meadow, his keen eyesight picking up the slight movements and bindings of the grass far away as something passed through it.<br>
<br>
<br>
"And we will be ready." Sytin breathed in and out, steeling himself for what was to come, before turning back to his friend. "Just one thing, if they are friendly and we can learn toil communicate, do we tell them of the Null?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Warmth, without looking, patted his friend with one of his appendages. "Only after the meeting, and only if it is on good terms. They will need to know that their is a greater danger in the galaxy, and prepare to face it if necessary. The more we have on our side the better."<br>
<br>
<br>
With that, they let the sounds of the tranquil scenery fill in the silence as they waited for contact to occur.</div>

<br>
Looking over to the Icarusian' ship - they could see seven of them, sitting ontop of their ship. Circling around their ship was a very vicious and territorial klixen. And one of the aliens were, petting them!?<br>
<br>
<br>
"Jeena! Stop making friends with every big monster you find!" yelled Hana.<br>
<br>
<br>
"But he is so adorable!" replied Jeena, hugging the klixen-beast who would have eaten a Barast patrol by now. But seemed content of letting the alien plant girl, treat him like a pet.</div>

Braking from the grass on to a mossy field she paused for a moment to take in the two aliens before her.</span><br>

A study in opposites. One tall and fast looking, the other smaller and </span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>flying</i></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA">. Even the tall one couldn't have massed more than a young male soaking wet. The other looked more like prey than a sentient, maybe a pet? </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
With the shake of her head she thought better, no assumptions.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Staying low and slow she worked her way over the moss, being as nonthreatening as possible to these strange beings as she could. Stopping perhaps ten meters from the two she reared back slightly, spreading wide her arms.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"I come in peace for the Janda people in the name of the Ventrus Hegemony." she said formally. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
'It would make a good holoshow line' she thought. 'Pity they probably didn't understand a word.' There world be much more pantomiming and insultingly slow pronunciation swapping than the holoshow version she was sure.</span><br>

<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
(The language of the Janda uses high pitched clicks, clucks, whistles, grunts, barks and growls in general.)</span><br>

"That was some first impression, don't you think?"  The assault trooper said to the support with a sarcastic tone.  "Hah.  Yes it was.  If it weren't for our ability to communicate with wildlife and plants, we'd be flying blind."<br>

<br>
Back at the outpost, the heavy trooper and the sniper get some big news.  "Another alien race on the same day?"  The sniper was astonished.  "Wow!  Just wow!"  The heavy had a feeling that the Barast people will have to prepare for war.  Typically Barasts prepare for war.  But if the beings behind the probe give a good first impression, a possibility of an alliance would form.</div>

Their was nothing but a dim red light that shined in the small compacted transport and the sound of battle outside, soldiers were strapped on both sides of the small room had their minds set on either the mission or something else. Tarken looked amongst the men around him, it was to tell what the troops were thinking or what their expressions were with their helmets on. His hands started to feel a bit twitchy, he was nervous of course and this was going to be his first day of combat with his platoon, no one knows how armed the rebels and </span></span><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">thats</span><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="font-size: 14px"> what scares them. The worst kind of enemy is an enemy that hold </span></span><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">surprises and knows their own turf</span><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="font-size: 14px">, suddenly the red light flashed to green. The transport shook violently indicating that artillery shells were landing dangerously close, "Well looks like the rebs got artillery....Fuckin great." The captain unstrapped himself from his seat and started to shout for everyone to get up. Everyone got out of their seats and started to check their weapons, ammunition packs, and whatever prayers they got to give. "ALRIGHT MEN THIS IS IT! THE ENEMY OUT THEIR ARE CONSIDERED TO BE HEAVILY ARMED AND ARE HOLDING THE CITY OF ISTOA WITH EVERYTHING THEY GOT!! WE GRUNTS HAVE BEEN TASKED TO LOCATE AND DESTROY THE ENEMY ARTILLERY EMPLACEMENT WHICH IS LOCATED HALF A CLICK AWAY!" Just as the captain finished another Loud </span></span><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">explosion</span><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="font-size: 14px"> erupts and violently shakes the transport, nearly causing the troops to lose their balance.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="font-size: 14px"><br>
The captain grabs his </span></span><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">hologram communicator and clicked one side, a small blue figure which Tarken assumed was the driver started to sound worried. "Captain the enemy just took out one of our Transport walkers and were getting in range of their first line, are your troops ready?" The captain scans the room and looks back, "WERE READY JUST LOWER THE WALKER!" The driver nods and disconnects from the hologram, suddenly the transport comes to a stop the troops turn towards the Exit, the Large metal hatch opens up and the sound of blaster fire and artillery can be clearly be heard. "MOVE IT!!!" Grunt troopers pile out of the Transport and run to whatever nearby cover they could find. Tarken looks around and finds Itua piling out with his other squad mates from one of the other transport walkers. Itua holding his heavy blaster cannon commenced to fire at the enemy line and slowly progresses forward. Turken and the rest of his platoon regroup and struggle to move from cover to cover, "Out of the frying pan and into the fire we go."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><span style="font-size: 36px">Khalast: Rendezvous Point</span></span><br>
<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The tall grass ruffled and parted as the alien stepped forward. To Sytin, the creature reminded him of a deep sea species from his home world, albeit a lot larger. To Warmth, the creatures striped fur arms and jointed legs, along with the carapace and multiple eyes showed a fascinating design that was somewhat dull, yet admirable and enjoyable in its utilitarianistic design. It made guttural clicking and whistling sounds, with several barks and growls as it spread out its arms. It was most likely a greeting.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Sytin stepped forward and stood to his full height, standing on his front-foot instead of his flat-foot. He was ramrod straight, an arm behind his back as his other arm made a curving motion in front of his body, his hand splayed wide. He spoke, his voice deep and precise, each syllable and sound crafted to convey the maximum information in the shortest amount of time. "I represent the Palorikan people and the Writ of the Holy Alliance."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Warmth-of-Color floated upward, his appendages spreading outward from the center of his body, the microscopic cilia manipulators on the ends stretching out as well. His smooth neck and head faced upwards towards the sky, beams of brilliant colors and lights swirling and dashing across the ground. His speach was comprised of beautiful chants and echoes, whistles and swirling hues accenting the melodious sound. "I am the one who will behold our first meeting in the name of the Lorenganel and the Writ of the Holy Alliance."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
With that, Warmth-of-Color took out a disk, no larger than a penny, and sent it floating towards the ground. With brilliant blue lights the disk was constructed into a large projector table. With a touch to a pad, holograms leaped up. The first thing to be seen was a rust-red planet without a background. The hologram zoomed in, showing savannahs and forest of the Palorikan home world. It came to rest on a moderately sized village. The hologram came to to rest on a male Palorikan, his fur a light green and his mane a deep red, standing beside him was a female of his species, her fur a more oranges tint, her quills a deep black. In her arms was a baby, its fur still fluffy and white. The hologram then went to focus on a few visual aspects of the Palorikan's culture. It showed a large feast for dinner within a familial clan, a martial arts viewing with two hung-pole users, as well as the utilitarian, yet artistic designs of monuments they had constructed to great leaders and victories over horrible tragedies.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The hologram then shifted its focus over to the Lorenganel. Instead of showing a planet, it went right to the male and female comparison. The only difference being that the female had a different tail shape and one less pair of manipulators. The baby was small and floated haphazardly next to the mother, its colors bright yet unstable, constant glowing in a bioluminescence. It went on a similar pattern as the first, showing great works of sort by the Lorenganel, showing a feast that would seem more in place at a museum than a dinner table, as well as a temple where they worshiped their God, its structure seeming to defy belief. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Finally, the hologram showed the two species working side by side. Engineers designing a building, farmers working together, scouters observing a planet. It finally ended with a group of the two species standing on the bow of a space station with the flag displayed behind them. The table then deconstructed before it flew back to the waiting Lorenganel. Hopefully it had gotten across a general message of who they were.</span><br>

<span style="color: #D4CAAA">'... definitely not a pet then.' Gentith thought to herself.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"Analysis of holographic image topography indicates an estimated vision spectrum range of 4 to 7 hundred nm. Tech team is recompiling contact package for the narrow band."</i></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"> Jantis muttered in her ear. </span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"30 seconds to transfer."</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Standing holographic projection, in miniature. Fancy." the Captain whispered reaching into her pack.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"Oh yes. I've already requested the tech guys be pulled from my feed. I'm pretty sure one of them had an </i></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA">accident</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i> in their conference room."</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Gantith slid the slim sheet of clear crystalline computer pad out of her pack and taped the screen bringing it to life. "-heh- Ready for transfer."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"Aaaaand, transfer complete. All yours Captain."</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Gantith stepped forward to present the taller one the pad unsure how well the flying one could handle it. Waiting until he took it she tapped the controller on her arm to play the video. Ultimately it appeared there were really only so many ways to establish a species visually. Shots of picturesque landscapes. Side by side shots of males and females. Life cycle shots from egg, through multiple sheddings into adulthood. Shots of daily life. Shots of the capital complete with the 3 kilometer high arcologies and majestic floating 400m long platforms moving constantly around the cityscape.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"Command has a pictorial message ready for them Captain. Are they finished watching?"</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Well, the video finished. What the hell, let them have it."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The screen cleared to show an orbital shot of Khalast. Three new ships entered orbit, two combat class escorts and a march larger transport ship. The screen showed the transport break away to descend to the surface, quickly arriving next to the current position. Its forward hull opened to allow a dozen more Janda to disembark moving to plant a red and black flag next to a low table and chair. On the opposite side materialized a copy of the Holy Alliance flag with an equal number of the two species matching the Janda contingent.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The screen split in two now showing a closer shot of the near by tall tree. Time seemed to speed up for the tree showing the shadows quickly moving from their current position to one much later in the day, pausing then repeating the shot.</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Just as the Barasts returned to the outposts, they got news of the current progress.  "A spaceship for one and a drone for the latter.  We know for sure who has the better first impression."  First impressions are the last impressions to the Barasts in particular.<br>
<br>
<br>
Certainly for the Icarusians, it would not be as favorable as the people behind the probe.  A rude interruption is not the way to do a first contact.  The probe on the other hand was a more proper way in the Barast mentality.  Both discovered the Barasts by accident, yet the latter had more chances of diplomacy.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was certain the this may provide new opportunities to find new planets.  All in order to test the Barastian people.  Ulanka was colonized for that same reason.  The new question was about the intentions of the peoples behind the first contact.</div>

<br>
<br>
As such, it soon became apparent, that they needed some extra parts for their ship - one' needed to be manufactured by a machine. As such, the guards near the outpost, would soon find an Icarusian' approaching their place - with a white flag, or rather white sheet attached to a stick, being held up by her.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"What now?"  The Barasts were getting annoyed.  A robot was sent in their place.  "Having trouble?"  The robot was remote controlled and acted as the proxy.  If the Icarusian got too close, they would warn with:"Keep your distance please.  We don't take kindly to uninvited guests too."<br>
<br>
<br>
Barasts like their privacy and alone time.  This was no different.  First impressions were indeed last ones.  Meanwhile in space, the Barasts awaited a response from the drone.  There was no intention of starting wars so early on.<br>
<br>
<br>
The spartan Barastian confederacy is starting to have more of a favor with the people in space.  Perhaps it would be more...fruitful than an alliance with the Icarusians.  Barasts were isolationists, but they were also pragmatists.  Another possibility is more death worlds for the Barasts to colonize.</div>

<div class="bbcode-border" style="border: 2px solid #9B7909;"><span class="bbcode-justify"><span style="color: #D4CAAA">The galaxy has once more begun to turn. On the axis of fallen empires there now blossom newfound nations and desire for the galaxy has once more taken root. Some appear exempt from this greed, however, with the Barast seemingly leading their charge in their isolationistic nature. Even so, the irony has deemed it that they be the one to experience the first trans-stellar nation beyond their own. Their first contact proved to be very confusing and conflicting, but with enough conviction and stubbornness the Barast vanguard did not assume direct hostility and instead allowed the crashed Icarusian vessel safe passage, for now.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
But in the middle of the two species' engagement came a much curious signal, that of yet another vessel, a probe. With the barast leading the brunt of the inter-species interaction for now, on the other side of the galaxy there is a much tenser engagement occuring, that of two battle-capable fleets. The ventrus had intruded on the territory of the Holy Alliance, and the situation had seemed incredibly tense from the command stations of both leading vessels. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
With key personnel volunteering from both sides, they set foot on the local planet of Khalast, a prospect world of the alliance. Gantith had landed on the surface through the help of an escape pod, but also her most useful officer, Jantis. The same was the case for the Alliance, Warmth-of-Color, an entity with much history in the matter of inter-species meetings, had been assigned with the mission of performing peaceful first contact.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
All the whilst this occured, the Imperium was deep in conflict with itself. The civil unrest which had occured on Tiala had turned sour, and now a full scale revolution was at hand. It was time for the Emperor to show the might of his war machine, and Operation Emperor's Hammer had commenced in reaction to this very demand. With the artillery raining down on the rebellion, and the trained swiftness of the Imperial army, it would seem like the imperium had found itself a solid first engagement against the rebellion of Tiala. Now it was only time to end it, through diplomacy or war. The 132nd Armored Guard would see itself the spearhead of a coming conflict that would echo in the history of the Empire.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
But still greater giants are being awoken, the merchentile titan of the Gozai United had burst to life, it's monetary prowess and wicked knowledge cementing the nation into place around it's borders, but still within reach far beyond them. They've made sure that the galaxy remembers their power, and few would be daring or stupid enough to try and cheat them.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The phoenix that was the galaxy had finally awoken, but derelicts of the past are still screaming back to ages long since past, and ancient civilizations still navigate the cosmos, all that was left to be seen is who comes across them first. The machines of the prophets are bursting back to life, their souls roaming the galaxy.</span><br>

<br>
<br>
Something was not right: A bad thought in the Barast psyche was brewing.  The Barasts could sense it.  Though it was their nature to assume the worst, the Barast people found it high time to trust their instincts.  Only one sentence can sum it up: Prepare for war.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Barasts may need to get allies and bend the rules.  This may be a threat that nobody in the galaxy could comprehend.  Let alone combat!  This problem has a chance of being completely out of context.</div>

<span style="color: #D4CAAA">A union of Architecture and Ecology these massive constructs serve as the self contained, self supporting home for millions.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Each city tower contains enough power generation, water recycling, farming and manufacturing capability to sustain itself independently for decades if needed. In addition smaller sub towers may augment the resources of a given tower, each focusing on a different area of the economy from manufacturing and farming, though commerce, education and the arts. Combined with a massive subterranean support and transportation network the archology offers the highest density, lowest impact trade off of any terrestrial construction thus devised.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Construction has come far since the first experimental attempts. No longer is it the civilization combining effort it once was. Extensive automation coupled with the incredible versatility of nano-forging has reduced these marvels of technology to the work of a few hundred and some specialized equipment.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
A 'seed pod', itself nearly a kilometer in height, is lowered from its orbital constructor to its final resting site where the true work begins. Massive nano-forges spring to life eating the pod deep into the bedrock feeding the construction process. Once fully submerged the construction can begin.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The superstructure is forged of iron, aluminum, titanium and carbon in complex chemical arrangements and architectural engineering wonderment to allow it to remain strong even at the dizzying heights of three kilometers or more. The vast majority of the construct is silica based owing to its general abundance in the crust and versatility as a construction material. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Construction continues underground. A network of supports and ties radiate out from the central tower ensuring a spread load across the bedrock and an unbreakable bond between building and planet. It is here that the majority of the essential services are located. Geothermal power generators see to the cities base demands wile solar energy banks top off peak demands. Water is recycled to reduce the need of fresh water from the planet.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Communication and transportation tunnels worm out to link with other towers in a vast planet spanning network.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
While these towers may share the same core design, every effort to personalize them is made by the inhabitants. Colors, shapes, patterns of all types are routinely utilized. Many plants are adapted to grow over portions of the towers, insuring that each worlds design is differentiated by the distinctive flora.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Once started the tower will generally finish primary construction within four months, allowing the new citizens to begin habitation and customization. An average arcology will comfortably house a million people, though could be grown to house many more by expanding the sub towers into full city towers, or even merging the towers in to a massive ziggurat.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
This construction method serves as the primary colonization system, leaving vast tracts of virgin wilderness for the colonists to utilize while still giving secure living space.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div>

Sytin handed the small pad back to the large bug-like alien when the message was finished, it seemingly conveying that more of its kind would be showing up within approximately five to six hours.

<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"I cannot believe that a species could live in such tall and narrow building," Sytin said, the tall metal skyscrapers still fresh in his mind. "How could any thinking creature want to be in such confined places. I doubt there is any room to leap. Unek</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><span style="font-size: 8px">1</span></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA">, they probably don't even have tail room up in those things. And what if they are attacked? A single attack to the base of that building would send it crashing down, its just not practical."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Warmth-of-Color was still looking at the beastly alien, observing its every detail ad how it was reacting. "You know," he said. "They are most likely ancestral borrowers, preferring such confined areas than that of the open sky. To them, your large, low-lying, and wide-open villages may just be as strange to them. They might think you crazy for living under the open sky, where you have to take up more land." </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Hey, we are savannah dwellers. We </span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>need </i></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA">the open space. Besides, if they think us crazy for our structural designs, then they must believe your species to be insane." </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Warmth made a series of low and high pitched sounds vaguely familiar of that of a harmonica, also known as laughing. "You are right my friend. Our guest here must think my species mentally skewed when they saw our architecture. The twisting spires crafted in the shape of tree, the spindled cylinder, yes, they probably think us quite odd. Either that or we showed them art." Warmth let out another of his species harmonic chuckles. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
And so it went as the time passed, two friends who could not be more dissimilar chatting and discussing their theories and questions on the newly discovered species. The shadows continued their slow journey until they were nearly at the described positions. Soon more would make their way here.</span><br>

<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA">Gantith scratched the back of her head.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"So, now we wait?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"...I suppose so Captain?- Wait one."</i></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"> Jantis paused distracted. </span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"Ah, command would like to see if you could start a dialogue with them. The translators need more input."</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"...OK?" Gantith said watching the two aliens talking amicably between themselves. "Any ideas how this is going to work?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
</span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>"Well, it's at least a spoken language Captain. Imagine trying to communicate with smells. Try getting them to name things, any thing really."</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Hmm, ok. Try to feed images to the screen as I need them Jantis. I'll try to get things moving."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Gantith picked her way over waiting a moment for the aliens to turn to her. She held the screen up.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"I-" Image of Gantith "-want to talk-" concentric circles from her moving jaw "-to you." Image of the two. "We-" Image of all three standing around "-should try to learn some words-" image of her pointing to a red box, concentric circles from her moving jaw, them pointing at the same box with different colored concentric circles "-so we can."  Image of all three standing around, concentric circles trading back and forth.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The aliens caught on quickly as they began to trade back and forth. It quickly became apparent that the lack of a tongue in the Janda meant that many words simply couldn't be voiced. A workaround was quickly devised involving computer assisted translation. Finally the three just let their computers talk to each other in an ever faster barrage of light and sound.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
By the time the Hegemony's transport hit the atmosphere each race possessed a working translation of the others language.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The ship slid silently to a stop hovering over the lake. 150m tall, 200m wide and over a kilometer long the bulbous transport split its bow open to reveal an honor guard of mech suited warriors moving out to secure the landing ramp.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Finally came a gaggle of diplomats trailing the imposing figure of a snow white Councilor.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Gentlemen, Captain. It is an honor to meet you." She said rearing back slightly. "I hope this is the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship between our peoples."</span><br>

<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The translation of the alien race's language preceded quickly as the shuttle's computer interacted with the pad. Any fears that the computer systems would not be compatible were put to rest as the Lorenganel derived system created an abstract nexus that would allow it to understand the other device and vice-versa. The exchange continued on until a workable translation was derived, though it was by no means complete. On both sides their were words that did not have equivalent meanings and emotions that could not be expressed. Translating such things would be like describing yellow to a blind man, it simply would not work. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
The shadows were at their appropriate positions when the crafts of the newfound species arrived in system and made their way to orbit. Finally, a small ship was sent down to Khalast surface, hovering over the lake, the doors opening up to reveal alien bugs clad in metal, as well as the more normal forms the observers had come to know from the sight of their first contact. Lastly, a lone white figure emerged from the ship, obviously the leader of this group of diplomats.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
She spoke, the computer translating for the Lorenganel and Palorikan both on the colony and in orbit to hear.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"Greetings Brilliant-White Delegate," Warmth-of-Color said, dipping his flight in a show of respect. "It is pleasing to be in the presence of a species that does wish for cooperation with us. I hope all will proceed in a wonderful and timely manner."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Sytin walked up next to his floating comrade, standing on his front-foots while keeping his posture rigid. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
"I too hope for an alliance between our nations. It will strengthen our people and security in this vast galaxy." Sytin flicked his ears forward and back in a sign of truthfulness. "I hope you do not mind, but we are not the delegates who will discuss the future relationship between our people. The ship carrying them wild be arriving soon."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
It wasn't less than ten minutes more when the ship arrived. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
A large patch of space seemed to slide apart, showing a deep, purple rift that seemed to swirl and flow. From within its depths came a large ship, behemoth by many standards. It pure white, curved surface gleamed in the vacuum of space as it exited the abstract realm of warp-space. Once through, the hole in reality repaired itself with a bright purple flash. It was the </span><span style="color: #D4CAAA"><i>Primordial</i></span><span style="color: #D4CAAA">, the most advanced piece of tech known to the Writ of the Holy Alliance, and it was here for negotiations. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Several shuttles flew from the behemoth down to the surface of Khalast. The landing gear extended as the ramps lowered, revealing the many a Palorikan and Lorenganel. Making up the back came a Palorikan, his mane purple with age, as well as a Lorenganel, whose species already fragile, yet beautiful appearance seemed to be doubly so for him. They were to be the delegates for this oh-so important occasion.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>

<span style="color: #D4CAAA">It would be the work of decades to truly build an unshakable trust between these new met peoples. Cultural and biological differences would lead to tensions as is want to happen. Individuals would break laws and anger others with inevitable regularity. Despite these differences these first few hours showed great promise.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Negotiations flowed with relative ease, each side striving to forge friendly relations.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
While details would be months in the making, back and forth between the respective leaderships, the initial talks establish several main points of consideration.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
1. The establishment of consulates</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
2. The establishment of trade rules</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
3. The establishment of law and order jurisdiction</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
3a. Defining the grounds for and execution of extradition </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
4. The consideration of defensive pacts</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
5. The consideration of tech exchanges</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
6. The establishment of research agreements</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
7. Establishment of intelligence exchanges</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
7. Consideration of a full Alliance pact</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #D4CAAA"><br>
Of particular importance to the Janda is the construction of their gate network. While as an FTL method it is very efficient and quick it is completely tied to the gates and the associated gravity wells. Construction down the galactic arm toward the Holy Alliance has been suspended pending the results of these talks. A request to continue construction has been tabled.</span></div></div></div></div>

If it was a food source, it would have been very insulting as Barasts didn't eat plant material as per their restrictions.  Not that they cared for the Icarusians anyway.<br>

The outpost shown that they were not interested at all in interactions.  They had better things to do other than hang around with folks that resemble their domesticated plants.  In fact, they were preparing for war!<br>

<br>
The Barasts had one other echoing sentiment throughout their territory.  "We're all in for it now!"  As a matter of fact, they were.  Now the only thing they can do is to mobilize for a grand war.  The Barasts were naturally tough.  They might seek out the most hellish of planets to train for an upcoming conflict of epic proportions.  Hopefully they can negotiate their way into more.</div>
