The F.S.S [i]Mars[/i] quickly responded to the [i]Letona's Gaze[/i].

“Craft have been launched, and we shall immediately began preparations if the craft in question is hostile.” 

The F.S.S [i]Mars[/i] and the two frigates, the F.S.S [i]Einstein[/i] and F.S.S [i]Explorer[/i] turned to face towards the newly arrived vessel, and transmitted a message to it in all languages available to the Federation. 

“You are to immediately withdraw 5 million kilometers from the planet. Launching of any planet-bound forces will result in the Federation assuming you have hostile intent towards the ERC’s operations and we will be forced to engage. Failure to withdraw 5 million kilometers will also result in us be forcing to engage.”

Drone craft broke off and formed a shield around the [i]Letona's Gaze[/i], as the Federation ships began warming up their weapons and the rest of the drone craft formed a loose formation to prepare for a potential engagement with the unknown contact.
