[u][b]Research Outpost, Classified Location, Ⱥthistan ℱederation[/b][/u]

	“We are being careful about studying the satellite, because we don't want to damage it anymore.” Sirak Zere said to the hologram of President Roshawna in real time. Zere was the head scientist assigned to the outpost. His work back at Athistan has improved the health for all Xreihzs and made it that they can change their eye color with eye contacts. He has been at the outpost for three years, but he hasn't found anything like this satellite. Roshawna didn't select him as head scientist, but the last president did before his term ended. It caused some drama with the scientists, but they couldn't do anything about the president's decision.

“That's good. I got news about the results, It seems that the Federation has allowed scientists to study fast-than-light travel, meaning that you have to be more careful from now on.” the President said as he was reading the results from his datapad that he got from his desk. Roshawna was the thirty-fifth president of the Federation and one of the most popular presidents so far. He helped to advance research on nanotechnology, got the approval to build the space station, and he got the rights for scientists to study into FTL travel. He only has been in office for two years, meaning that he still has four more years to go before his term ends.

“Oh. Do you have anything about the research or the scientists?” Zere asked the president. 

“Sadly, I don't have that information as of now. That might change in the coming weeks.” Roshawna answered as he turned his head towards the door as he heard a knock. 

“We will talk more later.” he said quickly as he went to turn off the hologram projector. Zere didn't even get the chance to say goodbye before he disappeared. He grabbed one of the many unused datapads from his office desk and left for the laboratory. The laboratory was home to the satellite for the moment as the entire thing is being analysed by other scientists and mechanics before being sent to the repair section. Zere walked towards the satellite and looked at it.

He didn't know the purpose of the satellite, but he was going to find out. One of the mechanics walked towards Zere and greeted him. The mechanic immediately asked about the state of the satellite. Zere didn't have anything new information to give to him other than the obvious facts. It was damaged when it crashed and some of it's information has been lost, but they still don't know how long it has been at that asteroid. The scientist were hard at work to figure out the questions, but there were worries that the mechanics will damage it to the point that it becomes useless. 

Because of that, the mechanics were isolated from helping out with the satellite until they are told. This has caused tension to raise in the outpost. Zere didn't care about the whole thing as he just wanted the information inside the satellite. Then, he saw the alien language among with the symbol. He wanted to know what it means and how to translate into their language since the code inside the thing might contain more of this language. The datapad was placed next to the satellite and Zere started to look at the language.

The mechanic walked away from the head scientist as he didn't get his answer. One of the scientists walked towards Zere while drinking a cup of coffee.  

“This language is clearly alien.” the scientist said as he finished with the cup and placed next to the satellite. “We are stuck as to what the word is.”

“Don't we have an translator or anything?” Zere asked the scientist. 

“There was one that some scientist was working on back at home, but he didn't have any funds to keep going.” the scientist said as he saw the datapad next to it. 

“Alright, give me information about this scientist and the translator as soon as possible. Take the datapad and type in any important notes.” Zere said as he pointed at the datapad while looking at the satellite more. The scientist grabbed his cup and the datapad and headed towards his cabin. He wanted that translator at this outpost right now if it was to help understand why the satellite was in his system. He didn't care if he had to finish it in the laboratory, he just wanted it here.

	 Roshawna heard the knocking coming from the door. He turned to Zere and said, We will talk more later.”. He immediately turned off the hologram projector and fixed his suit. After that, he went to the door and opened to see one of his guards at the doorway. 

“Sir, King Amir Gebreselassie and several leaders wanted to discuss something with you about yesterday's discussion.”

Roshawna knew that Gebreselassie wasn't happy about the results, he always wasn't happy with anything. Gebreselassie had been King of Fusheaya for sixty-nine years, it meant that he part of the World War and saw the Qihona Incident. He was stuck in the old ways and believed in Tutrix. Fusheaya was one of several nations that rejected nanotechnology and banned augmentations when it became popular. Gebreselassie didn't like Roshawna at all because of his help with advanced research on nanotechnology and the recent approval to study FTL travel.

Roshawna made way to the small meeting room, where he saw Gebreselassie and several other leaders were already standing. “Mister President, won't you like to have a seat?” the king said as he walked to a chair. 

“Why are you here?” the President asked as he took a seat on the chair. 

“Mister President, I am here for a good reason.” Gebreselassie smiled as he looked at the other leaders and then took a seat as well. There was a moment of silence as both men were trying to figure out what to say next. They didn't like each other because of their history. Figuring out what to say to your rival without sounding too caring can be hard. Roshawna broke the silence with another question. “Is this meeting about the last discussion about FTL travel?”

“Why else would we be on this pointless space station?” Gebreselassie answered. “It's my turn to ask the questions. Were you thinking about the people at Athistan during the discussion?” 

“Of course I was.” the President said confidently. 

“No you weren't.” the King challenged Roshawna's answer. “You weren't thinking about the poor, dying people as you willing spent money on this space station. Or you were thinking about the poor countries, like mine, while allowing those freaks to get augmentations. If you gave the money that people spent on augmentations, then you are able to get our countries out of debt and allow children to get an education for free.”

“We are working to-.”

“Stop lying!” Gebreselassie smashed his fist on the table as he shouted those words. The President was scared out of his mind and quickly shut up to stop tensions for raising. He reached for a datapad and threw it to the President, which he grabbed and started to read it. It contained pictures of people that were killed or hurt in the attacks by augmentations that had issues. Roshawna couldn't care least about those killing as the chances of an augmentation having issues were very low and Gebreselassie knew that. 

“You're the leader of this world, but you're acting like a CEO of a nanotech company. I suggest that help out our people before you help them.” the King said as he got up from the chair and started to walk from the room.

“If I don't?” Roshawna questioned his request

Gebreselassie laughed at the question and said, “Well, I do think that the Treaty of Savilo doesn't state that any country has to stay in the Federation. So, unless you want to find out what the treaty actually says, you'd be better off just doing what I said.” Then, he and his friends left the room while Roshawna couldn't believe that he said that. Alone in the room, he threw the datapad towards the wall and it broke into pieces. Then, he got up and left the meeting room to think it over.
