"Alright, good." Lex said as he looked over the crew, no questions raised which surprised him but it made his job easier. To be honest, he didn't know very much about the world anyway, just the basic information that had been transmitted to the ship. Just as he was about to speak again Eve peeped up, stating that the ship had just exited hyperspace and the autopilot was drifting it towards the world. He was again surprised, this time at how quick the jump had been.

"Captain, several small vessels are approaching the Vigilance, they appear to Aur'axean starfighters, they are attempting to communicate with us" Eve said, her voice speaking into the conference room along with the rest of the ship as Lex jogged out of the room, heading towards the cockpit. The automatic doors came open as he bounded in, pressing a button on his captain's chair which displayed a hologram of someone. It was a head, but it was covered in a red and white hood which covered all of the face except for its shimmering yellow eyes, and top of the nose. The skin was a blueish grey, the eyes seemingly staring right at Lex who looked curiously as the displayed figure spoke, their voice deep and rich.

"Attention crew of the S.S. Vigilance, this is Kos'Zor Voha Iafal'Hara, representative of the Aur'axean people. We were alerted of your impending arrival ahead of time but that you must have a full military escort towards the planet's surface as we have discovered that you vessel most recently departed from the Roosevelt Space Station, which since your departure has been utterly annihilated. We find this most peculiar and will take the necessary actions. Follow our instructions and no harm shall come to you." The alien said, as its hologram fizzled away, right as two fighters veered right over the Vigilance, seemingly leading it towards the planet.

"Captain, the Aur'axean are requesting that once we land that all crew exit the vessel, they want to give it thorough search. They also request to question and scan each crewman."

"I don't think they need to do that, maybe we can talk them out of that, but for now, do as they say, I don't want to start an interspecies war today." Lex said as he spoke to the A.I., then turned towards his crew which had followed him to the bridge.

"Amelia, take the helm, bring her down gently right where they want you to. Rose, keep your eyes out, I don't think they'll try anything, but it doesn't hurt to be careful," He said to the pilots then turned to the rest of the crew. "Ro'Essel, we should take care of that mind linking right now, before we get dragged into something. Everyone else, suit up and prepare to exit the ship. We are still on mission, so take weapons, armor and any equipment you need. And last of all, stay calm, I had a feeling we'd get knotted up with that mysterious explosion..." He said, sighing as he walked out of the room, signaling for Ro'Essel to follow him.
