**Roman Mess Hall**

The First Officer pondered what the aliens before him had said before he decided to continue to speak.

"We are a mainly naval vessel, so we have only one smaller training room, which is currently in use by a few of the Bellator here. However unlike my crew here they are much more disciplined and are well trained in hand-to-hand combat. If you are interested they probably be willing to participate in a few sparring messages." said the First Officer.

**Docking Bay**

"While I am interested in learning magic I would rather observe my men and see how training goes for them." spoke the Imperator, clearing the mat that had been setup and stepping off to the side. He remain as disciplined as he always had, although he did have a slight look of curiosity as the soldiers began attempting to lift the pebbles.

The first Roman stepped forward, pebble in hand and began channeling the energy he felt in himself in attempts to lift the pebble that now stood in his and. For a brief moment a blue glow appeared around the pebble as began shaking, however the magical energy seemed to explode for the moment. When the group finally figured out what had happened, the first Roman was on the ground with a bloody nose and the pebble lodged inside one of the dummies that had been setup. While it was not known what the Roa'marii called this effect this particular Roman had suffered what a few species called magical backlash, where to much energy was channeled in attempts to preform a spell. While number the effects of such a thing were disastrous this Roman had not suffered to bad of a fate. He stepped off to the side with the Imperator, taking a few paper towels from a nearby roll to soak up the blood.

The Second Roman who stepped forth fared much better then the first. Channeling energy into the pebble it began to wobble, hovering for a few seconds. However he released the energy before it could float much longer, probably fearing what had happened to his fellow would happen to him as well if he was not careful. The third and fourth went much like the second, however the fifth was rather unique.

When the fifth began attempting to lift up his pebble, he did rather easily, with a perfect flow of energy to the pebble. He spent a few minutes levitating at different heights and positions. A odd feature about the fifth Roman was that unlike almost every other Roman on the ship his eyes were a almost neon green, contrasting very differently to everyone around him. Kaiser could also feel a strange energy inside of them, although it was not magic.

**Colony World A-02(Alien Contact Sighting)((Korwraths))**

"Multiple ships were detected, but went invisible to electronic sensor systems afterwards. We have visual contact however, orders?"

"Proceed with standard first contact procedure, attempt to why they are here and who they are."

Within a few mintues of the Korwraths entering the system a few of the weapons on some of the stations orbiting the planet pointed at the approximate location of the fleet, but they did not go active, not yet anyways. A message shortly arrived by a radio was encoded in a simple binary system to allow the new alien contact to translate it easily.

"You have entered the territory of the New Roman Empire, state your name and intentions or we will assume you have hostile attentions and be forced to fire."
