"Captain Magnus! They fired before we could cast a translation spell, slight damage to our own ship, and the ERV ." shouted a officer on the now frantic bridge of the . Lights and warnings flashed, as the targeting systems of the labeled the fighters as hostile. Magnus pressed a button and sent a message to the ."This is Captain Magnus, Captain Emily, you are ordered to fire on the attacking fighters, full barrage. Prepare any drop-pod forces you have as well. The goal of the Union is peace, but if there just going to attack us at first contact, then im afraid there is little chance." spoke Magnus into the comms.The small drone paused for a moment, as if observing the creature. It backed away slighty, and folded up into a small disc. Visible on the top of the disc was a glass ball of sorts, which began projecting a image of a Iscandarian. The Iscandarian's face looked highly suspicious of the creature. The drone backed further away, before the Iscandarian spoke to the creature."We are the Eternal Union... Who are you and what do you wish?"

"We are..." The creature jumped outwards into space, placing his hand on the drone and approaching the hologram to appear closer "... The startling silence, the nothing that you fear. We are the echoing pain of violence, the stain of a childs tear." It's throat moved as it speaker, and it became apparent that it's speech wasn't caused by the process of passing air through the vocal cords (Which was just as well, given the lack of space) but through the manual manipulation of the vocal cords. "And we are hungry, so very hungry..."
The ship seemed to respond to these words, as the gas's leaked out, obscuring the creature slightly as it passed the two. The creature pushed off the drone and back towards the ship, one of the tentacles moving to grab him from the void "We are us, and we are hungry"
The words seemed to echo from the vessel its self, and the biomass on it seemed to lurch to life, the tentacles twitching in space
