"We will be there soon." said a Iscandarian that was nearby and overwatching the shuttle. He wore a military uniform, however he only had a sidearm at his side, and was carefully observing everything. The shuttle paused, as they docked at a small station. Stepping outside revealed the Palace. The structure was grand and glorious, maybe of a pure white shining marble. The Palace was set into a mountain, overlooking the capital of Alas Prime. The Highest tower had the symbol of a star on it, indicating of some great purpose. Beautiful garden were also everywhere, a large variety of flowers in constant bloom. When they were lead inside the halls of the palace were decorated in banners with stars on them, and various pieces of art from throughout the Eternal Union's history.Two guards, clad in armor, stood outside a grand door. The guards approached the diplomats."The Immortals will see you now." said one of the guards, opening the door for the diplomats.While the host and its worm moved towards the habitation areas, as a BCU ship arrived near the drone bay. The BCU stood for the Bio-Containment Unit, the Eternal Union's disease control office. As they opened up the drone, seeing that whatever was in it is now gone, they took the drone aboard and immediately ordered the command center to quarantine the Outpost, suspecting that whatever it was might have gotten on. A siren began beeping amongst the station."All non-security personnel are to proceed to habitation suites, all security-personnel are to proceed to the armory and gather quarantine gear. This station is now under a BCU-Authorized quarantine." spoke a loud robotic voice."We feel that the peace treaty should be hosted on the planet you refer to as Earth, or one of her satellites. We will let you choose the location from there."

Planet N-1

Their goals achieved and the escape covered, the remaining ships jumped out of system, the plasma ship bearing a few hits before vanishing.

To say it was a profitable raid would be to put it lightly, even if they didn't destroy the enemy war ship, they had certainly put dents into it.

Outpost A-5

Realising its discovery, the organism in the drone awakened. Its organic compound, threaded throughout the machinery, came to life and detonated the Balefires the drone was carrying, in addition to self destructing, annihilating the drone hanger.

Outpost A-5, Interior
 
The power died suddenly, plunging the outpost into darkness and giving it quite the claustrophobic atmosphere. Habitation suites suddenly came alive with yelling and shock, before many were promptly over run by a contingent of the L'Er. It became obvious quickly that several decks already belonged utterly to the parasite, who was determined to protect them against all odds...
They worked most zealously near the center of this area, where several circuits interlocked, and they were ferrying biomass there for usage.

The L'Er used some of their forces to lay a trap outside of the armoury, lying in wait for their would be victims. It had been decided that if they could take the armoury, they would be able to take the station. It was crucial that they ambushed and killed as many security units as possible here and now, and as such it was imperative to wait out of sight for the perfect moment...

The L'Er, having managed to disable much non-essential power, worked on attempting to shut down that of the essential systems: Success would kill life support for certain, and while the command center had no access to the blast doors, it was still troublesome to the L'Er that they had access to communications. It was apparent that the command centers communication with the BCU would need to be eliminated in order to prevent the BCU from coordinating with the Command and to prevent them from giving advice.

Message... Of sorts

A deep, commanding voice filled the heads of the BCU ship crew
"We offer you salvation from your forerunners sins, that like maggots infest you rotting heart. Renounce what made you!"

Fleet movements:

 forces are quickly being gathered together so the L'Er can act on the new data they have obtained from the minds of the infected
