Raiden Finished his whiskey as Dr. T walked into the room . [i]“We’ve had more entries into our area as you’ve been here“[/i] he loaded up a Holo map on the table, each ship had an initial scan showing the shape size and visible weaponry.

[quote][color=0072bc]"Unidentified contacts, this is Captain Leonard Powers of the United Earth Government Naval Command battlecruiser [i]Paramount[/i]. Please identify."[/color][/quote]

[i]“The only paramount I knew of was a scout cruiser, If that size is correct, this is larger than the SOSCOM Scar Flagship. I would like a full ship scan as soon as possible, they seem friendly, But It doesn’t hurt to be prepared, Haines try and look in our records for that faction”[/i] Thirlwell changed the ship to the pale quiver and loaded up the message.

[quote][color=6ecff6]"Attention outsiders, this is Captain Markurio of the V.V. [i]Pale Quiver[/i]. We are the true loyalists of the Valinosian Pact, and we hear your messages of peace. So long as you refrain from committing acts of barbarism, you have my word that my vessel's weapons shall be powered down. I have hopes that you outsiders are different, but make no mistake; We will retaliate if you prove to be just like the rest of them."[/color][/quote]


[i]“Loyalists, interesting.”[/i] Raiden knew not of a “Valinosian pact” The size and shape of the ship suggested a high maneuverability much like a fighter, but he knew it could probably punch a big enough hole in the ship to do some damage. [i]“Okay, Haines, Same with this ship, scan, and research their faction.”[/i]

[quote]"This is Captain Sarah Parker with The Intrepid, we are friendly and will be able to offer emergency repair services once we have our own ship in order. If anyone is in need of assistance, we are happy to show good will and assist."[/quote]

Raiden investigated the ship. If not for its size, it would be easily mistaken for a space station, not a space ship, the scan didn't pick up any visible weapons so the chances it would engage were little to none. Raiden considered asking for repairs the hole in the hull, but went against it, He couldn't risk doing any more damage. [i]“Next ship please Doctor”[/i]

[quote][color=bc8dbf]"Greetings unknown vessels. We are the Advent, and we come with no ill intentions towards those who mean us none in return. To those who do, know that we will not hesitate in defending ourselves as we deem fit."[/color][/quote]

“Another peacemaker. But by the looks of the ship, it could do some damage. I’d prefer-”

Dr. Thirlwell interrupted “New message coming from the ship Romanova commander”`

“Play it”

[quote][color=ed1c24]"[i]Romanova[/i] to all ships. We propose a meeting on a any other ship to discuss our situation and confirm our present location."[/color][/quote]

Raiden paused before speaking, [i]"our Sensor array, what did we pick up?"[/i] Haines stepped forward. And changed the focus of the map to the Romanova. [i]"for starters, we're picking up high numbers of neutrinos from what appears to be the engine of the ship, due to this fact we believe that it could either be running on a fission reactor or possibly is just using it as a fuel source." As you move up the ship you start to see how the ship is armed, It carries missile batteries, although they look small, we predict that the payload could certainly do some damage. There are two devices that seem almost hastily put together a field projector and a machine that could only be described as an attempt at a makeshift FTL drive. further, up we have the living quarters, a rather odd contraption that is pretty much an overclocked magnet, A 'bridge' and finally a region of highly ionised particles that we can assume is used like a 'super tesla coil'. Our techs also noticed a distinct lack of gravity in their area, take from that what you will."[/i] 

Raiden pondered his options, There were other ships, in proximity those of which had contacted the group, part of his mind wanted to board them to investigate them, but he understood it was too risky to send a ground force without scouting the area before hand. on the other side of the equation, he could allow people onto the ship, to better their situation, after all, it is their mission to find to unknown. He got up from his chair just as another message came through, another from the behemoth of a ship that was the Paramount

[quote][color=0072bc]"[i]Romanova[/i] and all other ships, we accept your proposal. The [i]Paramount[/i] has enough docking bays and hangars to house your needs. Hangar Bay Primary, located on the underside of this ship, will be unlocked for diplomatic purposes. Please send a diplomatic team over with armed escort, should you wish. Be warned, however, that you are being closely monitored."[/color][/quote]

This was a perfect opportunity, an option to discuss the situation with the rest of the ships, as well as keeping his crew out of harms way.  [i]"Gentlemen, Ready the ship, Haines, go to your techs, get our main array at the second largest ship, the one that has sent no transmissions, Get me as much information as I can Find. Dr. T, I'd like to be able to get out of a scenario if things get dicey, so I need you to try to fix the ship, I'd like Interstellar flight available as soon as possible."[/i] He Called up to the bridge. [i]"prepare to extend a message out on all frequencies I'll be up there soon."[/i] He moved into the Comm chamber and pressed record.

[quote][colour=008B8B][b]"Once again This is the Raiden Korten of the Oblivion. Considering our positions I believe that it is in our best interests to explore our options and talk. My XO and I will travel to your ship and as a sign of good will, I will be able to send Shuttles to pick up other groups to meet on the ship. Once again communications will remain open."[/b][/colour]
[/quote]

Raiden left the comm chamber, picked up his trusty side arm, and made his way to the hangar and starting prepping a Shuttle. [i]"Kora Myself and Miles will be leaving the ship temporarily, Whilst we're gone you'll have charge, Make sure science has enough power to get the sensor arrays working."[/i]
