This is Agent Perry to any nearby LSF Tech Repair Wings, you have been tasked to repair LSF Satellite 43, its sending out strange reading and apparently blew up an asteroid which is mistakened for a ship, over.
[color=#33FF33]This is LSF Repair Wing Iota-4, we're heading over to the scene Agent Perry, over.
- Get ready, here goes the jumphole. Yeeeeeehaa ! - Can't you stay serious while we are on mission Mike. - Oh come on Kathleen, nothing ever happens. - And a day something will happen. Entering Jumphole. - Entering Jumphole. - Mike ! Don't ju- *static*. - This joke doesn't work anymore Kathleen ! *laughs*.
Right after exiting the Jumphole, Mike is under fire.
- What the hell is going on ! Kathleen ! Where ar- tractoring your pod ! - Contact the LSF Mike ! There's something going on here ! - Hold on ! I've to try to save our ass first ! I have multiple small crafts firing on me !
Kathleen gets out of the escape pod, and runs to the cockpit.
- We're quite lucky you have an executioner, deploy the second seat please. - Can't do everything right now baby !
Kathleen pushs the button, and sits in front of the communication screen.
- I'm contacting the... hold on, we're receiving something. - Tell me it's reinforcements. - It's quite odd, it's a message composed of electronic impulses, let's try to decode this. - These things are faster than my ship, you better have to tell me good news soon or we're dead ! - It's been sent by the big blue ship. It says "Come to us or they will kill you". - Yeah I noticed the blues doesn't fire on us, only the orange ones. Sounds like a good plan to survive for me. - You don't even know who they are !.
Mike engine killed, and turned his ship, launching a missile at the closest orange ship pursuing him. The ship exploded, it seems that the oranges didn't install shields on their small crafts. As soon as he got close to the big blue ship, the shield of the blue ship began to encompass the Executioner, soon, Mike found his ship inside the shield of the giant blue ship.
- This... is... new. - That was a wise choice Mike, now we're trapped. - Look at the orange ships, they keep... crushing themselves on the shields, like... suicide bombers. - That would explain why we don't detect any lifeforms aboard the tiny orange ships. - I see. They're trying to shut the shield down, that's pretty bad for us. - I'm sending everything your guncam captured since we entered the system to the LSF and Admiral Hale, we'll need help to get out of here alive. We're receiving something... it says "Help us". - Yeah uh... send the message. Sounds bad for us again. - Sent everything, I hope they'll come fast. - I hope too, and incase they don't... well... I wa- woah.. - What's going on ? - They're tractoring us inside.
Mike was unsure of what was going to happen, the tractor deposited the ship on a platform in the middle of the huge docking bay. Mike couldn't believe what he was seeing, the hangar was as long as a liberty dreadnought.
- This thing is huge. - I've never seen anything like this before. - Kathleen... I think this is our first contact with another race. Atleast I hope these ones are not jellys. - It's not the time for jokes. - Looks like there's a welcome party for us, look on the other side of the bridge. They're coming.
Mike and Kathleen left the small executioner, and walked to the small group of people waiting for thems. Surprisingly, their shape was similar to the human one, but they were blue. One of thems was standing in front of the others.
- Welcome aboard our home, humans. The Arthenn people welcomes you with great honor. - We... are honored too, but you can't stay here. It's extremely dangerous. - The Zeiophs are indeed dangerous, but their ships must be destroyed to prevent thems from sending their position. For the moment we have used electronic weaponry to prevent thems from doing so, but we will soon run out of options. - I'm not talking of the... Zeioph things, but of the Neo Terran Front. They operate in this system, and are quite trigger happy. If they notice what's going on here, they'll come and shoot everything in sight. - Not to mention that Sirius doesn't really like aliens.. - We do not want war. - I think we can talk about this later, for the moment we should rather worry about our survival. - The human is right.
- We have to protect this sector from our mistake. This ship is experimental and unfinished, there is no weaponry. But this experimental shield will stay active for a few days. - There's something I don't understand. You guys are coming from another place right ? How come you know us ? our language ? - We have already met your species a long time ago. Some of thems are still with us, on this ship. We'll give you access to our archives once this Zeioph problem is solved. - This will depend of the choice of our superiors. - I understand. For the moment, we need a plan. There's no weapons installed on this ship, but we still have a few tricks. Maybe those Neo Terran Front humans you've talked about could help us to destroy the Zeiophs. - I doubt they'll try to understand what's going on. They'll just shoot everything. I'm going to see what I can do on my side.
Mike and Kathleen goes back inside the executioner.
- What the hell are you doing Mike, this is far too important for small engineers like us ! - Kathleen, listen to me for ONCE ! Did you see their technology ? They are more advanced than us. Maybe they have some useful things that we could use against Rheinland. It could change the outcome of the war ! We could reduce the casualties ! You said it, it's too important for us, for mankind ! For once, we're meeting aliens that are not trying to destroy our entire race or control it ! - Maybe you're right... maybe you're wrong. But it's worth trying. - The best part is that I just recorded everything with my helmet camera. I'm sending this to Agent Perry, and Director Deus, hmm... and Miss Wolfe. - You should also send it to Hale, he's got the firepower. - Hmm yeah, good idea. I'll send thems everything and I'll resend the previous transmission. Now let's just hope the NTF doesn't notice what's going on here before we get out of this mess. - These ships are just too big to be unnoticed, it's all going to be about timing. - Let's just add a little something to the transmission. Let's write... "We could use a hand here" hehe, that should do it. Sending our last hope. If those Zeioph guys doesn't kill us, the NTF will do.
