Aurora laughed upon hearing the word spirits come out of the Triarii’s mouth.

“What do you take me for? Some kinda of insane person who still believes in such primitive ideas? Regardless that plan will work, although since the beacons cannot be there forever I hope you have some way to implement long lasting directives with them. I need to make a final few preperations and then I will signal you with the location so we may begin.” said Aurora.

She did a final handshake, and a bow, before leaving the hangar.

“I accept this mission, but if possible I brought my own armor with me. It bears the symbol of the Royal Family and as such I like to wear it to represent the New Roman Empire. It is in the crate next to my bunk if you could bring it to me.” said Lelouch, as he began preparing for the mission. Lelouch paused for a minute as he pulled out the blade that had been gifted by the Roa’marii to the Romans.

“And I am trained in use of a sword. If this sword is as strong as your people say it is, it is the only weapon addition to my magic that I shall need.” stated Lelouch.

Roman soldiers lined the whole of the area, also rushing to get the Collective Scientists into the facility. Before they were in however they could see several areas being carefully excavated, as the Romans searched for more Aetherii artifacts. A female scientist greeted the Triarii scientists, shaking hands with them.

“Greetings, I am Dr.Vahlen, I shall be leading the Roman part of this project. If you are comfortable we can proceed with a tour of the labs before we begin our work.” said Vahlen, in a weird sounding accent. While it was Latin it was not the accents the Triarii had heard before, it sounded more like that of the humans of German descent living in the Collective.

It was Lloyd who stepped forward and spoke.

“We opened the artifact for the purpose of discovery, to see what was in it.” said Lloyd. He seemed very nervous at the sudden appearance of the angel.

As the Abh’s ship appeared s new Roman Fleets appeared in the system, positioning themselves near New Rome. The Roman Anthem was transmitted across the system, in both Latin and an Abh translation that had been perfected. Abh across the system suddenly felt a huge psionic presence in their minds.

“[i]You think you can win Abh? You think you can face down the Empire that I carefully built over centuries? I knew the moment I first saw your faces that I could win. You did not evolve, you were created. Created in fact from Human DNA. We Romans are humans Abh.[/i]”

As the voice finished speaking, images appeared to the Abh in their minds. Images of test tubes full of DNA harvested from what looked like Romans being taken to genetic labs. These images showed the Abh developing in cryotubes, their DNA being modified to become warriors.

“[i]Those humans who created you were apart of the Allied Interstellar Federation, which I found easy to manipulate and bend to my own will. Despite their failings they managed to develop a interuniversal drive, which is why you are here today. I actually remember the day I as a member of the research board ordered the development of the Abh, back before the Earth Alliance had formed the AIF.[/i]

Images briefly flashed of a research proposal being submitted by a mysterious figure, detailing the Abh and parts of the culture they were to have.

“[i]Originally you were to be created to be a slave army to a rebellion I was apart of the time, but alas the researchers did not follow everything detailed in my proposal, and you ended up with the strong will you have today. However I still did manage to trick a few of you into doing my bidding.[/i]”

More image flashes, showing a Abh not only killing what looked like humans, but several other species unknown to the Abh, as well as what clearly looked like a Abh Empress. The Abh after the killings looked confused, as he was dragged off by police.

“[i]But my Aurora, who I named after a Abh that I found I was rather fond of, while not knowing any of this, came up with a plan to crush you into the slave army you were originally to be. And now my goal can be realized...the goal to enforce the superiority of the terragen genes on the universe. Terragens are those who have human DNA in some form. You are terragen, and shall help in this goal. Glory to the Terragens! Glory to the future Terragen Empire[/i]!”

While the Collective felt the psionic message they could not hear it contents. A message beeped across the encrypted channel the Romans had setup with them.

“Roman High Command has been informed that the message was merely a scare tactic to the Abh, and is of no concern. Roman High Command also request classification of New Rome and the Roman Emperor as value Absolute incase of a battle in this system.”

[b]Midway, the Golden System[/b]
While the Romans did not send a ship they did sent a message, in many languages including English.

“You are currently communicating with the Abh, a deranged and hostile alien race. We are the New Roman Empire, comprised of the Romus Humans and a few other species. The Abh have been involved with mass genocide, proof can be provided. It was unprovoked and resulted in approximately 100 million deaths. Cooperation with the Abh will have your entire nation labeled as hostile as precaution, and result in termination by the combined Roman-Collective Alliance. Beyond that the New Roman Empire wishes for peaceful relations.”

The Romans quickly beeped the Collective, informing them of the new contact.
