Aurel could feel the cold chill of the ships internal atmosphere rush over her body. Her hairs stood on end and chill bumps ran down her arms. [i]Why is it always so cold.[/i] She could hear commotion in the room as her body slowly emerged from her sleeper pod. To her left and right, rows of pods with newly awakened crew. There was small amounts of vomit on the floor in front of a few pods, something that is not at all uncommon after awakening. "Michon Aurel, Final jump is nearly over. We will emerge from the Ahn soon.". Aurel shook her head a bit as her eyes were still adjusting to the light, "All right, system. Progress on awakening?". The computer (system) didn't reply right away, as its main systems were still warming up as well. "Michon Aurel, All ships have reported, 100% awakening achieved." Aurel had stood by now and started towards the ships command center, located deep within the ship.

"I dislike this new language, so harsh on the tongue.".. "I know!".. "Where are we at?".. "I cant feel my fingers yet.".. The hallways were full of such phrases and conversations. The first hour was always rough on everyone but it came with the job, one everyone had volunteered for. The lights flickered to life as Aurel entered the room. "All right system, lets get this started." 

"Michon Aurel, Communications open with the fleet, captains are awaiting visual." 

"All right." 

With that, the room went to a light blue color and three lights appeared in the center of the room which, after a matter of seconds, took the holographic shape of the other captains. Aurel gave a soft, "Hello Captains." which was followed by the others giving their greetings. "We are nearing our exit point and have found a suitable system with the raw minerals we need to build the gate." 

Aurel turned towards the left side of the room where a holographic image of the planet [i]Dacyira[/i]. "Here is where we will set up our base." Larfi's hologram walked up to the planet and pointed at one of the many flashing red dots. "There's a lot of indigenous life on this world. You sure we shouldn't just mine the outer worlds and build our gate here?" Duhn chimed in, "Yes, Aurel, system says there is an over abundance of resources on the outer asteroid belt alone." Aurel turned to them, "No, we have a planet here that could operate as a hub.. A perfect place for a regional government to be set up."

"A government ran by you? please do not tell me you're still gunning for a matriarch title." was Raki's first entry in this conversation. Aurel was quick to reply "You know I'm right. The last region we were in had plenty of mining facilities and enclosed [i]cramped[/i] colonies. This is a wide open planet with a proper atmosphere and indigenous life. You know how rare those are!" Raki rose her hands up, "Ok Aurel, Ok." Aurel turned and pointed at the planet. "This my friends, is our opportunity to make a name for ourselves." Aurel then looked at systems scans of the sentient life on and around the planet. "These races are post warp so they may pose a problem if we aren't tactful with this." Not every race was ready for [i]subtle assimilation.[/i]

The four spoke for a while longer then the communications were ended. Aurel left the room and started towards the bridge. As she arrived, numerous Hau snapped a salute by holding their hand over their heart for a moment. Aurel moved for a chair situated in the center of the room. "Bring us out of Ahn space." The pilot replied with a simple nod then began operating the console. Ahn space is technically another dimension or "Sub space" as some would say. The Hau enter light speed then 'bounce' their ships on this dimension, doing what they call "puddle jumping". This Ahn space photons move 1000% faster than our reality, enabling light speed to be far greater with the same amount of energy expended. 

Aurel stared out of the view port at the red-ish gray haze with what looked like lightning bolts by every few seconds, Ahn space at its glory. The ships internal lights went green for a couple minutes, the general warning so that everyone would report to their stations in preparation for operations. 

And upon exiting Ahn space, a flash of light almost as bright as a super nova lit up the system to announce the incoming fleet. And as if the bright flash wasn't enough to alert everyone with a telescope to their presence, the incredible speed these ships were flying at, much faster than their size would suggest removed any possibility of a stealthy advance. 

The flotilla passed the last body in the system and deployed communications device was launched down to it. It was to transmit a message with exact coordinates and system readings back to Hau space. This message would take time and with some veteran crews, their gate is complete before this initial message gets to Hau command. Even though Aurel and her fleet was green at this, she intended for this to be a simple and quick endeavor.

[i]Simple and quick.[/i]
