[b][u]Far Reaches of Space
Location Unknown (Near the World of Ⱥthistan )[/u][/b]

In the deep darkness of space, a lone, massive object, a Collective Templeship, had drifted, and had continually done so for many decades, the scarring and damage on its hull showing it had survived quite a few battles, but none of it unscathed. This one particular vessel was a lone survivor of a grand fleet of thousands upon thousands of ships, sent to conquer some far off civilization, but never returned, and were massacred emass. This one ship had managed to flee, but was damaged in the escape before it initiated an FTL jump to some distant star system, further away from home. 

It had escaped, but was no longer in a position to return to the Collective, and now remains adrift in the dark void itself and as such, the ship itself, or more precisely, its commanding AI, had fallen into a deep sleep indefinitely. That is..until something happened.

In its decades of drifting, the ship had detected radio signals and the like, a habitable world was close by, these signals had awakened the sleeping "god" with new life. The AI, known to her cohorts as "Grana", was both ecstatic and intrigued by the signal, it seemed more primitive, nearly resembling the old creator civilization, Humanity. Nonetheless, she would aid in her Queen's vision of the Galaxy, assimilating this primitive world would prove a good act of redemption in the eyes of her superiors and despite the less then perfect condition of her vessel, she focused all power to the thrusters and made the move towards this world at great speed. 

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

    It had been days since the satellite was discovered in a lone asteroid and it has caused tenision among the crewmates. Scientists and mechanics are divided over what they should do with the thing. Sirak Zere was growing tried of the daily debates during breaks and the presentations on what would happen if they would to repair the thing without discoving it. The mechanics were tired of them as well and suggested that they would just grab the thing without everyone knowing.

However, someone found out about it and it caused things to blow up. Zere was sleeping as he should shouting in the laboratory. It was around seven in the morning, right about when the sun would be up in Athistan. He rubbed his eyes and got out of the bed to a normal day on a classifiled outpost. His clothes were already laid out nearby the bed and he looked at the white lab coat for a moment. Until he heard more shouting, that was when he quickly got dressed and ran towards the lab.

He saw the scientist and the mechanics were getting ready to fight until the guards got in the middle of them. Zere was pissed off and wanted to know what was going on.

"What the fuck is going on?!"

"Sir, the mechanics were going to take the satellite away from us!" one of the scientists said in anger. 

"Hell yeah we were! You guys were going to just keep eyeballing it like it was going to hatch something!" one of the mechanics, that talked to Zere yesterday, confirmed the simulation.

Zere realized that spending time away from your loved ones and inside this dark outpost could make someone go mad, but he didn't think that it would of affected the entire crew. He sighed in frustration and said, "Look, I know how important the satellite is and we want to be careful with it. But, we can't turn against each other. Listen, the scientists are correct. It may look like just your avange satellite, but we don't know what's inside of it. It could be something that destroys it and kills all of us. We don't want that to happen."

The mechanics all sighed and rolled their eyes as they left to their workplace. The scientists were happy that it was over and went back to work. There was finally some peace in this outpost. That was until the sensors went off like the city lights from Ylont. Zere raced over to them and the scientists followed to investagate them. And they were going crazy. 

"What the hell?" he questioned.

Then, the outpost shook up like an earthquark was happening. Things started to fall onto the ground and one of the scientists raced over to the satellite. It was about to fall off of the table and damage it even more. Thankfully, someone caught it before it fell and placed it back on the table. He, of course, held to it like it was a kid.The mechanics rushed back to the labs, wondering what was going on.

Suddenly, they saw it. A massive ship going through the asteroid belt like it was nothing. Zere and the others were in shock as this was their first time seeing the massive ship before. One of the scientist passed out due to shock. He noticed that the ship wasn't attacking the outpost. It was damaged for unknown conditions. Was this ship a part of a large war? How did it get here? Why is it here? What do they-

Zere stopped thinking as he realized that the Federation was having their discussion in the space station. He must warn them before something terrible happens to them. The crew were still in shock as Zere pushed past them to head to his office, where his long-distance phone was located. The door opened and he was in a panic mode as every minute wasted could bring the end of the Federation.

The Templeship pressed onward, pushing through the local asteroid belt like a knife through butter, however, the ship had sustained some damaged while pushing through as asteroid chunks collided with the ship's hull, further wounding it, even parts of the thrusters were damaged upon impact, causing the ship to move at irregular speeds, the landing was certainly not going to be "orderly" and their usual landing impact would be less effective in the destruction factor, there will certainly be many surviors in the aftermath. It didn't matter however, Grana would have her prize, and cease this blessing in disguise. 

Deep within the ship, in some sort of command center, lights begun to flash frantically as the ship was losing its structural integrity. "Damn it all!" A disembodied feminine voice spoke out on anger. "Hold damn you! Hold!" The ship continued its course, and miraculously, after some time had passed, the ship was nearing its destination, Athistan was on the horizon, and would soon feel the terrible wrath of the Agonis Collective. 

[b][u]The Abrik Talot Space Station, Ⱥthistan ℱederation[/u][/b]

    President Roshawna had just given another speech during this discussion, which was about what The Federation should do to help the lower class. He wasn't afaird of Gebreselassie's 'threat', but it did help him make the next discussion. Another discussion about FTLs or augmentations were going to bore him to death. Besides, it would make Gebreselassie happy enough to stay.

"As the ruler of Fusheaya, our people need the help of the Federation before we even consider to expand beyond this system. That's why I put forth my fifteen year plan to ensure that our citizens are able to live healthy and smart. After the fifteen year plan is complete, then we can consider space travel." the King said proudly of his plan that spent years figuring out the details.

"I agree with King Gebreselassie!" the leader of Ocrar proclaimed, "I support his Fifteen Year Plan as my country is also suffering from crime and health issues!"

Roshawna smiled as the room finally agreed on something for once and put it to a vote. "Those that support the idea say 'Aye'." 

The whole room said 'Aye' and none objected it. As he was going to make it official, someone shoved the doors opened and he immediately ran towards the President. The leaders were confused by the man running towards the President. Once the man stopped near the podium, he began to speak so quickly.

"There'ssomethingonthesensorsandit'sheading-."

"Woah, woah." Roshawna stopped the man before he fell to the ground, "Slow it down."

The man shook his head in some sort of agreement and breathed slowly. He spoke again, "There's something on our sensors, mister President. You need to head to HQ immediately." 

Roshawna followed the man out of the conference room, leaving behind fifty confused leaders. He wanted, no demanded, to know what was going on. He asked as they were in the hallway nearby the view area just outside the conference room. "The situation will be explained once we get to H.Q." the man answered and he wasn't going to give anymore details.

Suddenly, they heard screams and gasps as they were heading towards the elevator. The President rushed back towards the view area as the man told him to stop, but he refused to stop. He saw all fifty leaders frozen as if someone opened the airlocks and sucked all the air out. Then, he saw it. This massive ship that passed by the space station and heading towards the planet. He couldn't speak. The only words that he could get out was, "Oh Lord."

The man grabbed his arm and dragged him to the elevator as he said, "This is why we need you!" But, he couldn't hear nothing. He was running as well, but he couldn't respond to the situation. This was the first time in history that they met aliens and they are heading for the planet without any warning. And he was the first President out of thirty-five other Presidents that met aliens. He knew that was going to happen, but he wasn't prepared for it.

Then, they just got on the elevator and the man pushed the emergency button to H.Q. Roshawna first heard the happy music from the elevator still playing like nothing had happened. That was when he came back to reality.

The templeship made its final descent downward to the planet below, targeting any nearby city center on the world to begin the campaign to cull this world. It passed through the planet's atmosphere, the hull glowing brightly from the intense heat of entry into the planet, it was quickly approaching a nearby city, making trials of smoke and a loud booming sound overhead, the populace below taking notice of the massive object above them, mass panic ensured as the templeship was close to final impact. Most fortunate however, especially for the citizens, the templeship was in no condition to enact their usual orbital strikes, the templeship instead, slowed down in its descent, looking as if it was landing near a body of water, dragging itself across the water as it neared the city, giving the people time to flee as the ship forcibly passed through the city, causing untold damage as it pushed through block after block, towers and other buildings collapsing in its path until it reached the very center of the city. 

The Ship itself begun to "bloom" in a way, parts of the ship rising up like flower petals.

[b][u]Cleim, Priuca, Ⱥthistan ℱederation[/u][/b]
    The Priuca navy was on patrol as usual on the famous Deita River, home to the famous Battle of Cleim during the war. The battle was a major victory for Priuca as they were able to destroy the majority of the enemys' navy. Private Varinder Ganwan, one of the many Acelop aboard the AF Oasin, was amazed by the view of the city and it's many buildings. He was too focus on it that Captain Rasjog Phulsawal walked up on him. 

Ganwan saluted the captain and said sorry as he was scared that he would get yell at. But, the captain just laughed and stood beside the private to look at the city. She spoke up, "You know that I have passed this city before on this river many time in my life. But, I never just stood here and look at Cleim before until now. It's goddamn beautiful."

Ganwan agreed and just watched the city until he heard a loud booming sound. He turned around and stood in horror struck. Phulsawal immediately. shouted on her radio that they must fire at the ship while getting out of the way. And soon after, they aimed their big guns at it and fired. Several bam sounds were made as the large bullets traveled towards the unknown ship. 

It hit the target, but nothing happened. They kept firing at it until it was near the river. She knew that ship was going to cause a massive wave that could sink the entire navy on patrol. Shouting at the private to follow her, they ran inside the Oasin before the ship crash. The ship landed in the body of water and dragged in the city, killing thousands or millions of people in that moment. 

After a breif moment of silence as the ship moved up and down, the two went outside to see the aftermath of the crash landing. The ship began to "bloom" and the two knew that something big was about to happen. The navy couldn't get a clear shot at the risk of killing more people. None could do anything until the Federation responds by sending help. 

The captain looked at the once beautiful city was now on fire and ashen smoke rose up to the sky. She covered her mouth in shock as she didn't know what to do next. The private was horrified by the destruction as he hasn't been on the ship for more than two weeks. He asked the captain, "What do we do?"

She couldn't respond to the question.

The smoke cleared out after impact, the population was both afraid and confused, crowds both running as far away from the impact site as possible, others however, were more curious, crowds slowly making an approach to the alien structure, pulling out any mobile devices to record this very historic moment, from the distant, cried out sirens out as emergency response teams were in action, tending to the dead and wounded all throughout ground zero, not too soon, News teams followed behind, setting up all around the impact site.

All was calm for a few moments, the alien ship dominating every news channel. After some time had passed, a piece of the alien vessel begun to move, it seemed to be large door, soon a boarding ramp followed behind as the door raised up. The crowd was in a dead silent pause as they awaited the visitors to make themselves known. Much to the surprise of the crowds, a small stunted creature waddled out, looking shy, afraid and intimated, adverting it's eyes from them.

A small child was scared at the whole situation as he heard lots of sounds and he hugged his mother as they were too curious about the crash zone. With his father and brother, they followed the others to the zone. The media were already on the scene and showing billions of people the historic moment that they first meet aliens.

Then, a piece of the vessel started to move around as a door raised up among with the ramp. There was a moment of silence before a small creature existed out of the vessel. It was scared and intimated by the crowd. The child soon realized that there was nothing to be afarid of and let go of his mother. The family, along with the crowd, just frozen at the first ever sight of an alien creature.

The family decided to greet the creature as the father and the youngest child went first while the mother and the oldest were with the crowd. The media was eating this up as they showed the father and the son, one was an acelop and the other was a xreihz. They were standing infront of the creature as the father extended his hand out to help the creature up. People started to take pictures or film the event as it would forever appear in history books.

The Creature looked up with it's large wide eyes at the father, looking to his hand as his offered it friendship, it slowly extended its own hand, almost seemingly accept his offer for help, however this would be an rather infamous moment in the history books. The creature gripped the father's hand tightly, its fearful expression replaced with something more...sinister, it growled and made a wide grin as it leapt onto the father, mauling him in front of all to see in sheer horror.

The crowd was in horror as the father was being mauled infront of them. Some ran away and others just didn't move at all. The child screamed and cried out his father's name as another creature jumped out of the vessel and into the child. The thing grinned as it began to tear open the child's chest. It laughed.

The mother was crying for them as she was being dragged away by her oldest son as more of them appeared from the vessel. People were running away from the things as they jumped onto people and forced them to the ground. You couldn't hear anything because of the screaming. Then, a cop started to help people to safety and he saw one of those things running towards him. That was when he pulled out his gun and fired several shots.

It dropped to the ground as it's blood started to leak for the bullet holes. Then, the others saw the lifeless body and went crazy. The officer fired several more shots before being overrun and mauled.

Many people didn't know about the creatures before it was too late. People, who saw the others running, assumed that they were still running from the crash zone; however, once they saw the creatures running towards them, it was too late. Hundreds were already dead in minutes. They killed men, women, and even children as they made their way to other parts of the city. 

Before long, more of the creatures emerged from the ship, however, these were a different breed, many were taller, some even taller then the others, they all shared reptillian features to them. One of the larger ones steppped forward, rasing a large weapon up in the air as it shouted in its alien tongue "Varusch! Gula shiska ma!" it shouted, the others flowing out the ship like a flood.

The larger creature walked forward towards a dying kid, not older than eight. "I want my mommy!" the kid cried out in pain. The creature looked at the kid and placed his foot on the neck and saying something that the kid couldn't make sense of, "Na Chakka ura tama"

Then, it stepped on it hard as he heard a cracking sound coming from the next. It grinned and went back to his job: killing more people.
