The crisp clear night sky seemed to brighten suddenly, as a strange new object appeared high in the sky. It was large enough to where it could be made out by the naked eye, and even a set of binoculars. Brighter than the full moon, this strange object, with the sunlight bathing it's underside, lit up the night sky, and cast an almost twilight glow in the sky.

From Poegaoa's perch he could see the world. Everything unfurled around him at this height, even the curvature of the planet. Everything and anything on that side of Eterna is what Poegaoa watched from way up here. The sun had just set for this part of Eterna, thus marking the end of another beautiful day. His job up on the highest class of floating rock wasn't just to watch the scenery. That much had been made clear the first day on task. Falling asleep was nearly unforgivable. So, Poegaoa watched.

Poegaoa watched as not one, not two, but three pockets of rell routed straight for Trosis. Their rate was alarming. They were excited, but for what? Trosis wasn't exactly a tourist trap, and the rell weren't foreign to it. Poegaoa speculated that it was a festival of some sort, though in the back of his mind it felt like something he had read once. Poegaoa tucked that feeling away into a special pocket in his mind, and moved his gaze elsewhere.

A couple of sea orbs, the planet's main system of transport for humans, made their way from a few locations to Trosis as well. There was certainly a lot of activity happening soon in Trosis!

He watched the city of Trosis bubble to life. Now that it was night, there were sure to be parties around every corner. A few of the rell towers began to flash different colors. The giant plasma tubes stretching skyward provided a little show of their own, and if he listened close enough Poegaoa could hear the music.

He looked to the sky.
He saw the sign.
Poegaoa's heart raced. He leaped from his position, jumping from rock to rock, heading back to the temple in the sky. On his way, he pulled a crystal from beneath his clothes, secured by a cord around his neck. He breathed into it, and it lit up red.

Well, he certainly didn't need Sebastian to help him understand the advantages of moving the base of operations underwater.

"Under da sea...Under da sea..."

Lance smiled at the memory and continued to listen to Zeek's explanation. He seemed to really enjoy talking about Trosis. He knew quite a bit about the city for someone who'd never been. Or maybe he was super pumped about finally going. But what was he waiting for? It seemed like he could've taken this trip by himself without Lance's accompanying at any point. So why did he wait?

Lance thought for a moment. Maybe...maybe he was waiting for an opportunity to go. He could respect a work schedule considering the humans of Earth had followed such schedules down to a millisecond. They were some of the best at it. But this massive Rell thing as well as Lance's own arrival...it could've delivered the chance he needed to take this trip to Trosis.

Maybe giving tours was his passion.

Lance turned back to the sea. Night had fallen, the water around them too dark to make out the flowing current. Looking around, the only thing that gave off light was the city of Trosis in the distance and...

A strange object above them. Gazing up, Lance could see something equivalent to moonlight cascading down upon the water, the source being this weird...thing. Was it a strange looking moon?

Wait a minute...Lance made out the shape of the object. Something seemed familiar about it...like he'd encountered it before. He wished he still had the binoculars or the Soundwave Magnifying Device so he could possibly tell what that was. "Is that the moon here? I don't think I've seen-"

He stopped. A shudder of realization went through him and his face lit up with recognition as he had a hunch to what that thing might be. "It might be a space ship," he thought out loud, recalling events on Blackrock.

In the time it took for the crew of the Esteem to get it's navigational bearings, the wing of Apollo fighters had been prepped and readied for launch.

As the Reverence II settled into a geostationary orbit around Eterna, the three Apollo fighters, Alpha wing, launched from a launch tube on the underside of the massive carrier. These three delta-winged fighters rolled and then made their way towards the surface.

----

Hanley leaned against the console, so far communications had been silent. It seemed the planet below them either hadn't detected them, or it lacked the capabilities to send a communication.

The Admiral thumbed her chin for a moment, as she closely surveyed the holographic display of the planet before her.

"Engines thirty percent, stabilize our orbit, keep communications open." Hanley ordered.

The Alien ship was listening, who would send them a message?

From high up in the building of the Greater Eternan Tripartate, a council met. The structure itself was impressive. Generally isolated from cities, the building perched where all three civilizations of Eterna kissed. Half of it fell off a cliff, a waterfall surrounding a plasma tube which lead from the sea to the top of the structure. It was taller than it was wide, hosting on top an orb that was the best of both worlds.

"I've never seen anything like it," The rell ambassador Ulao Asaali was speaking truth. A ship of that magnitude, of that shape, casting that glow. There were many things Eterna had seen, including some more tragic affairs such as high orbit pirate raids, but this was not one of them. The other representatives and ambassadors present murmured agreement.

"So what do we do? Do we contact it, do we wait for it to contact us, what? I mean..." Tony Spark of Cathos wasn't exactly excited, and he was at a loss of what to do. It had been primarily his citizenry from the south, not those from the Atellan Kingdom of the north, who had been effected by the pirate raid years ago. It had left them unsettled. Most had healed, but this wasn't going to help anything.

"I say we wait, until first light," Suggested Dario, Moterano, a representative from the Atellan Kingdoms. He was usually the person they dispatched to here on emergency account. Reasonable, someone who preferred to wait, watch, and then act. He had a tendency to take his time. It was that which annoyed Tony Spark, who let out a huff of air.

They stood around a three dimensional plasma replica of the planet Eterna, showing live updates thanks to the magic of the planet. Two massive, precisely cut crystals above and below, linked with the planet's magic itself, made this possible. It was a piece of equipment not used in most situations, and took a lot of energy to fire up. Over by the control panel, a dark haired woman adorned with crystals watched the three, and listened.

"Oh, oh. No no no, look," Tony pointed to three smaller vessels entering their atmosphere, putting a hand to his mouth. What was that? The three ships did as they did, and it set everyone in the room on edge.

"Would waiting be wise?" Ulao commented, considering their options. There weren't many.

"Would that not be an attempt at contact?" Dario responded, sounding unsure, and rarely enough nervous. Tony shot him a look of surprise, but kept his comments to himself.

"We should wait," Piped up the dark haired woman at the control board. The three turned to look at her, with full attention. She had her eyes fixed on the plasma replica of Eterna. Adding a crystal to the panel, the mini-planet zoomed in on one of the ships within the atmosphere, "I've never seen that before, and so long as it's not provoking volatile activity or raising citizen concern, we should do nothing, and that is my opinion," Xaiani said with a slight bow. Though she had no actual political power, the group she represented here was arguable the most influential of all.

"So, what? What do we do?" Tony was growing impatient, wondering what he was going to tell his citizenry if anything were to go wrong. Surely someone had noticed the ships, surely someone was going to say something, and surely he would be going home to a panic.

"We wait," Dario agreed, very much so less concerned with the potential dire-ness of the situation. He trusted in Xaiani, perhaps more than he should.

"We watch," Commented Ulao, for that was exactly what they would be doing until the next move would be made. All four nodded, and continued to do just that, as Xaiani moved crystals and manipulated the plasma map to show different views.

Hanley waited aboard the CIC, as the black on her holographic display gave way to landmasses, cities, and water as the trio of Apollo fighters began to snap photographs and map the planetary landmass. Everything that wasn't on the Reverence II's scanners were being filled in.

Hanley silently turned to her AI, the flickering female projection standing silently overseeing the planetary hologram before them.

"Initiating surface scans." The AI reported. "Indigenous population detected, threat probability is low, recommend cataloging for future Imperial missions."

Hanley nodded slightly.

"Acknowledged, compile a report so I can read it later, for now, keep communication channels open and see if they contact us." Hanley said, bringing her attention to the status of the FTL Drives.

"Looks like the FTL Will be spooled up soon." She said, checking her watch. "We'll jump when the recon picket returns."

"Yeah, no, I really don't like this," Tony Spark had taken to biting his nails, a habit the rest found trying to hear. In the politicals his sometimes overly human ways had won him the hearts of his people. When it came to actually handling situations he had a tendency to hinder himself. Thinking before speaking wasn't exactly a virtue of his. Dario Moterano rolled his eyes and hoped nobody noticed. A silence stretched between the four, and Xaiani continued to manipulate their view. The entire plasma representation rippled, rapidly reforming to show a jet of some variety zooming over the sea, near a coastline, and above a bunch of mobile water pod boats. It seemed to be going too fast for the average anyone to notice with the naked eye.

"Will this disrupt your populous?" The melodically mechanical voice transmitter of the rell ambassador Ulao Asaali broke the silence. He knew his kind would pick up on that, if any were paying attention. All it took was one to notice anything with the rell. Thanks to telepathy, there were no lies. There were also no secrets, which proved complicated sometimes. Not often.

"Probably? Maybe? Augh, you know what..." Trailing off, Tony Spark resumed biting his nails.

"I doubt there will be a panic," Dario Moterano's voice was smoother than his thoughts. There wasn't much that couldn't be explained and excused away, and space ships from another planet just so happened to be one of those things. He was simply glad the ship was out of view of his kingdom.

Instead it was parked over Cathos. Space trouble always seemed to happen for Cathos.

"Hah!" A nervous laugh from Tony Spark, "You didn't have your people shook by pirate raids, and that's a collaborative project between yours and mine and ours. We're sending crystals off to some other planet for study, and what have we gleamed? Chaos, that's what-"

"Fear should not guide your future," Ulao Asaali interrupted Tony, provoking a sigh from Dario. The rell were very different from the humans.

"And what would you do if they came down to here and, and, and killed everyone! What would you do, hm? Hide under the sea?" Tony Spark's words rang through the room. It was uncomfortable, the quiet that came after such an accusation.

Xaiani watched the three representatives. They avoided each others eyes, staring at the plasma Eterna between them. Dario looked the most uncomfortable, not wanting to take a side but secretly sharing the same concern. Tony was clearly distraught, unnecessarily so in her opinion.

Ulao was remarkably silent and still. Had the rell not helped the humans, time and time again? Had they not aided drastically in the building of their civilizations, offered technology the humans may have never discovered without their jellicient cohabitants of Eterna? Were there not habitable places for the humans under the sea? Had the two species not fully embraced their coexistence?

"We do what's right for Eterna," Ulao said, "As always."

"Should we make contact?" The XO asked, his inquisitive eyes falling on Admiral Hanley, who quietly shook her head. "No, not yet. None of us are either qualified or prepared to make contact with another indigenous civilization, especially one as underdeveloped as this one."

Hanley's fingers moved across a holographic display, typing in Anquietas characters as she established a connection with the larger Aschen datalink.

As she focused on the readout, the AI Chimed in.

"Admiral, I've calculated our position, and mapped current stellar patterns. Point of Origin has been configured, additionally, I have entered coordinates to the Tal'dor System, where we may resume our patrols." The AI reported. Hanley nodded, and pulled up a larger readout of the trio of Apollo fighters.

They had completed their circumnavigation of the planet, and were returning back to the ship.

"Apollo ETA is one millicenton, FTL Will be charged in one point five Millicentons. I have not detected any surface weapon launches, or communications aimed at our direction. I will continue to monitor indigenous communications."

The CIC Crew of the Esteem were hard at work, configuring the ship's FTL jump, and monitoring it's endless monitoring systems. In addition, any ground communications, from television broadcasts to cell phone communications were being listened into by an advanced sensor suite.

"No doubt they know we're up here, if our surface scans are correct... why haven't they made contact?" Eclaire wondered silently to herself.

"So why don't we just, I dunno, try talking to them?" Tony Spark stopped abruptly in his pacing to propose. He had thought not so long but very hard on their current circumstance. There was a ship in the sky. There were ships in their atmosphere. They were silent, staring in the face of who might be their demise. Or, maybe not. Maybe the beings in the sky, who popped by so unfashionably abrupt, meant something less than malicious.

When the next pulse of readings came from Eterna, Xaiani slid a crystal across her panel. There. They now had a full read of the less than familiar craft hovering high above their atmosphere. It took a minute for anything off planet, but Eterna's natural magic was able to reach and read things even farther than high orbit. The four stared at the ship in a mix of horror and wonder.

"Have you considered," Dario Moterano said slowly and with notable exhaustion, "That they can't be talked to? Look at that thing. Sure, we can contact them, but what happens next? Tea?"

Tony Spark shrugged, fixated on the plasma model before them. Tea would be a reasonable outcome, regardless of how improbable at this juncture. They didn't even know if whatever was aboard that thing was human. Did species matter, though, considering the rell?

Ulao, their resident rell, sat silent and still in malcontent. The humans argued enough as it was. They were lucky to have peace between the two nations of land dwellers on this planet, unlike some reports that came back with their science shuttles of unrest between the humans.

"I think tea with the strange alien ship currently zooming all around our everywhere would be great!" His voice dripping with sarcasm, Tony Spark shot back at Dario Moterano- but part of him meant it. Part of him really, truly wanted to contact that great thing in the sky. Part of him wanted to question them, talk to them, see what they had to offer. Dario was looking at Tony Spark as if he were the biggest fool on all Eterna, sea and land combined. Xaiani simply stared forward at the plasma model of the ship rotating slowly before them.

"You'll lead us all to ruin," Dario Moterano responded simply to Tony Spark, as if it were a definite thing. Nobody argued the point, but nobody combated it either. Before the four, the plasma ship glowed.

Ten minutes had gone by without a response from the planet below. Hanley's eyes remained on the flickering displays and the representation of the holographic woman.

FTL Coordinates had been locked into place, and the three Apollo fighters that had managed to circumnavigate the globe had docked within the hangar bay.

"Reports are coming in, Data packages are uploading." The AI reported, as Hanley offered a nod and a slight shrug. "I'll relay the location of this world to my superiors, and they can determine if this world is suitable to be conquered, or to be contacted peacefully." She said, before she turned towards her Executive officer.

"Lock coordinates in, prepare for jump on my mark." She ordered, and the coordinates were entered into the main navigational computer.

This resulted in a tremendous buildup of power within the vessel, as it's gargantuan FTL Drive system began to spool up, a spatial bubble briefly formed around the massive vessel.

"Jump!" Hanley ordered. And then braced herself for the jump.

There was a brilliant flash of light that formed at the bow of the vessel, and in milliseconds, the light skimmed to the stern, the entire thing flashed brilliantly, and then disappeared; leaving nothing in it's wake.

"Can we watch that again, slower?" Ulao Asaali asked Xaiani Rosao. She gave him a slight smile, maneuvering the crystals to rewind the ship's departure and play it much slower than jump speed. The three ambassadors watched intently, each having a different reaction to the ship's jump.

"Wow," Tony Spark was very impressed with the technology. Part of him yearned for it, the part which didn't fear it.

"Oh," Dario Moterano was concerned with why it left, and whether or not it would be back. He hoped not.

"I see," Ulao took in the information and regarded it as just that: information. He would relay it to the appropriate channels within the Rell empire to be dealt with appropriately.

Xaiani reached up to the mass of crystals hanging around her neck, pulling one to her mouth and breathing into it. The crystal changed from a vibrant red to a deep blue. Across all of Eterna, others in the order would notice the change in their linked crystals. The threat was gone, but there was much to be discussed. The future of Eterna depended on it.

For a few more hours, Xaiani played over various capturings for the ambassadors. Tony Spark was especially interested in the technology and the main ship. It was huge and beautiful to him. Dario Moterano seemed to take most note of the patterns of the smaller ships which scanned their surface. He seemed displeased when they zoomed over the Atellan Kingdom. Ulao took in the data, preparing a presentation to his political peers deep under the sea.

Caprica City - Quorum Building
Office of the Minister of Defense


The sun was slowly beginning to set over the skyline of Caprica City. The cogs that were Imperial Aschen Government had been running smoothly, everything with it's purpose in this Empire of laws and order.

Minister Chaska, one of the few remnants of the former government was silently considering a large holographic projection of the Milky Way Galaxy, with several regions highlighted as being under control of the United Aschen Empire. There were several holographic screens surrounding her, a joint teleconference with some of the highest ranking military officials in the United Aschen Empire. All of them coming to discuss the fate of one newly discovered world; long before Parliament would decide the fate that lies ahead.

Prior to her return from Eterna, Admiral Hanley compiled a preliminary report and submitted it through the Datalink to be reviewed by her superiors. The report included the planet's coordinates, geography, topography, and an estimated technological level of the inhabiting civilization.

"Good Afternoon, Minister Chaska, Admiral Nagala, Chairman Inviere." Admiral Hanley reported. "I've come before you to discuss a recent discovery I made following a glitch in my Reverence's FTL Navigation matrix." She added, as Chaska went over the reports.

"This world appears to have no technological capabilities beyond it's own gravity well, and is in Pre-Contact stages of civilization." She said, zooming in on a lonely star system in the Scutum-Centaurus arm. "It would be an ideal candidate for conquest in the name of the Emperor."

"Segmentum Centauri." Chaska said, bringing up a large holographic representation of the Ris Solar system. "I would move to assemble a military force to seize this world for the benefit of the Empire." Chaska asked, as Nagala spoke up.

"I Disagree." Admiral Nagala said, voicing her opposition to invasion. "I'm skeptical that this won't be another Terra; if an invasion is assembled and executed. I think it would be an unwise move, strategically. Our forces are already spread fairly thin." She said. "We cannot risk expending what little resources we have for something that would yield little return" Nagala admitted, with Chairman Inviere nodding.

"With alien incursions in the Isirian Sector becoming a regular occurance." Inviere explained. "And reports from the Cosmora Archipelago that there's an Iramorbus outbreak. The Planetary Governor is concerned it will turn into a pandemic." She said, transmitting several reports across the datalink.

"We can't authorize an Invasion without the Emperor's Approval, either."

Chaska offered a nod. "I'll forward invasion plans to the Quorum." She said before she turned to Hanley. "Chairman Inviere, I want further investigation carried out before I bring up the discussion of an Invasion of this world to the Quorum. If you could, I'd like you to dispatch a stealth ship to investigate this new planet. Learn as much as we can about it." Chaska ordered, and Inviere offered a nod.

"I'll send Commander Torres on it, she's fairly diplomatic in the event contact is made. I don't want to alienate them if we decide to proceed with peaceful first contact. The Emperor will no doubt want to uplift them as a society." Inviere added.

"Conquest might not be a viable solution."

Deep within the bowels of the Tech Con Headquarters.

The Bifrost hub had come to life despite everything that was going on within Wing City. Admiral Hanley, current acting commander of SOLCOM, and Security Chief Callandra Henderson were standing over a large holographic projection of Wing City. Hanley made a face as she zoomed in on the Omnicorp Tower, Sol avenue, and the rest of the city where so far Tech Con had been untouched.

"We'll use the diversion at Omnicorp to slip forces in through the Bifrost here, we'll also utilize the Astria Porta to move forces in under cover." Hanley said as she gestured to the holographic readout.

"We'll move heavy armor via Bifrost, and infantry via the Astria Porta until we can secure a proper landing zone for the Reverence. Once the reverence arrives we should be able to obtain complete situational control of the city. We'll drive the invaders back, and the people of Terra will be like putty in our hands." Hanley said, nodding to the holographic readout.

"Security Chief Henderson. Your job is to defend Tech Con properties at all costs, we can't move the Reverence in until we've established orbital control. I've been in touch with Admiral Nagala to secure orbit. When she arrives, she will clear out orbital resistance, from there we should be able to obtain control of the city." Hanley said, while everyone nodded in agreement to the plan.

Gambit's Bar, never more was there more a hive of scum and villainy. This was the narrative that the Empire had impressed upon young Claire Hanley as she pushed the doors open to the bar and set foot inside. On shore leave once more, she opted to frequent this establishment as they tended to serve the more obscure liquors, including those commonly found across the Empire.

She straightened her uniform, smoothing the creases and surveying the crowded interior. Hanley smirked, tossing some red locks out of her eyes, throwing them behind her ears as she stepped inside the bar.

"So much interesting things going on in here." She said, surveying the patrons of the bar, while letting her slender right hand rest on the disruptor pistol holstered securely to a polished black leather belt which was worn around her waiste.

The uniform itself was a light blue, bearing the crest of the United Aschen Empire's Imperial Defense force, a highly recognize able uniform and emblem to those familiar with Terra's past.

"Great, a cop" He muttered, slightly less than satisfied at their appearance, he kept a close eye on their pistol as he watched them sit. He made sure to absolutely stay on his guard now, not sure what to expect now that they have arrived.

Flynn nodded at Makthus as Thane stopped in mid-circle to look at him. The crest feathers bobbed as she talked, ♪Powers of the mind? yes. My kind do not have those powers but we make good wellsprings of mind for the Hairworms. I have rituals and natural magics to use anyway.♪

Her traveler whispered attention to Flynn for the female Far and Deep that came in to name her strongly of the caste. The long saurid head tracked the uniformed woman's markings on her way in to remember them but decided not to say anything. Far and Deep didn't like to be interrupted. She sometimes envied the humans since their eyeballs moved but subtlety wasn't her strong point anyway.

She pointed her head to Makthus's blade for a moment, ♪You are a Far and deep? Ah your word... warrior? Less official than the other one I think. What do you do?♪
