[b]IRN Arisaka-Class Battleship, "Retainer" Empire of Ryukyu Space - 500,000 km from homeworld[/b] "Admiral Takeda, we've enclosed on the vessel as per your commands, it is from a race we have yet to encounter. I would personally like to note that it is tiny." "I can see that every well Honbo, you are excused." Admiral Takeda watched as the lieutenant scurried away, "All ships count off." The Admiral listened intensively as he heard his patrol fleet closed in on the ship not much bigger than a Maxis Drone. He would have confused it for space junk had it not have some very tiny heat and bio signatures. He half expected to it be inhabited by giant microbes as the last ship stated its name. "Your orders sir?" the Vice-Admiral peered over to his superior. "Get me a Jun-11t and get some space worthy troop on it. We'll just get it into the cargo hold and take it from there." the Admiral repeated his orders into the crew in the main hangar bay. On board Buido checked their gear and sealed their armor as a squad of them was loaded into the back of a Jun-11t. The hangar door opened as they Jun-11t launched its wings into the depths of space. It quickly got behind the tiny pint-sized ship and opened its bay, two Buidos shot out connected to cables. In seconds they grabbed the craft and tugged on their cables they where pulled back to the bay of the Jun-11t to the open arms of their comrades. They stared at the tiny ship as they went back towards the Retainer, wondering what would be hidden inside.

The gyroscopes and gravitational compensators have been installed, we are almost ready for pressurization." the voice over the comms array spoke. "Good, we're making good head way." Dr. Hido, "Hopefully we'll be able to get a ground expedition planetside within a few hours Captain." "Hopefully Dr. Hido," the Captain looked down from the observation deck next to the scientist as one of his crew said there was a message for him, "Excuse me Doctor." Dr. Hido watched as the uniformed man left the room and smiled, he had big missions for this little expedition to the Enndi homeworld. Anything that would be left down there would be deactivated unless some clueless private managed to turn on an ancient super weapons or a commander found an old beacon warning of impending doom. He watched as the last piece of the station was being put tighter and pressurized, the world below him shifted cloud cover. This had already been an interesting, having FTL'd into a moon (almost). "About time the carnival begins." Dr. Hido watched as the escort ship begain to dock on the new station, soldiers and scientists pushed in metal crates and expensive equipment into the the satellite, a Jun-11t could be seen flying nearby, waiting for its orders to transport the group down to the surface. Turning around and walking out of the room, he flipped his lab coat and pushed up his glasses, "It's a showtime." [hr] [b][b]In orbit around Ralthar IRN Norico-Class Frigate, Zhongzhu[/b][/b] "What. The. Fuck." Captain Otome did not belive her eyes, just as she had FTDerp'd into this system, a fleet followed. Clearly it wasn't help from home, she hadn't seen such ancient looking ships even at the Kadokawa-World theme park parades. "Shenshi, we're being diplomatic ambassadors today," Captain Otome once again put on her "professional hat", directing the crew around, "Send them a translation program with Shintoshi in it and try to allow Seris to allow herself on to their ship, make sure you tell them that she's acting diplomat along with me." "Roger.", the XO prepped a message saying 'We are from the Celestial Empire of Ryukyu and come in peace. We wish to assist you against any hostile action against this new fleet should they start it. Please allow our artificial intelligence, SERIS, on to your ship to act as translator and diplomat along side our captain, Captain Otome Huanan. We would love for you to come on a Diplomatic Visit to our homeworld, Gaishai when this matter is resolved". Shenshi sent the message and Seris now waited for access, everyone on board could only hope this message would get through and understand what to do with it. [@Murtox]
