More and more ships arrive, though the flood seemed to be ending somewhat, much to the relief of Flynn working sensors, and Dmitri, working comms. Of course, his relief was less as messages flew in between ships, and conversations, as well as explosions form some station, and all the more. Fortunately, the nanobots from the valorous Intent had gotten to work, and the shuttle had returned them to their ship, so that was a plus. The injured men would appreciate it, and he was informed that they would be well soon enough. Whatever this tech was, Hijikata wanted some of it.

"Sir,' Dmitri called, "We're getting a set of coordinates from the Valorous Intent. It's some sort of rendezvous point, if I don't miss my guess." He shrugged. "Or the explanation they sent. One of those ships with the saucer wants to gather for a meeting to determine what we should do, since we all seem to be stuck here."

Hijikata considered it, and the validity of it, but the message had come from the Valorous Intent, who had proven helpful and trustowrthy as far as that was, "Tell them we acknowledge. Helm, bring us about and move towards those coordinates in tandem with the Valorous Intent."

"Yes sir," Brandon replied, working the controls to do just that. Maneuvering thrusters fired to change their heading, and as the Valorous Intent moved towards the location, so would the Andromeda. 

Meanwhile, more messages. "The Jotunheim reports they are ready for our shuttle exchange,' Dmitri said.

Hijikata nodded confirmation. "Tell Commander Roche to saddle up again, this time with an engineering team. Let's see what they have to offer in terms of supplies and tech. Maybe we can even get the wave motion gun fixed."

Then, one last message from the new arrival. "Sir, you may want to hear this," Dmitri said, before funneling it through loudspeakers on the bridge. [i]I am Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, I am afraid to say you have arrived in a time of conflict. After a war that ravaged the galaxy followers of the Dark Side of the Force have seized control of the Republic and reformed it into the Galactic Empire. We have sensed the good in most of you, and seek your help. With your assistance we feel we could free the Galaxy before it is ever enslaved. We invite you aboard our vessel, and are willing to transmit any navigational data or historical data you desire.[/i]

Hijikata listened on silently, the message obviously from galactic locals, and these ones not hostile at that. Some terms made no sense, like the Force, Jedi, that sort of thing, but he recognized the offer being made, and he wasn't about to overlook it. "Communications, send them a message confirming and expressing our willingness to meet aboard their vessel. also, ask for a galactic map and recent history of the galaxy, specifically covering this war that ravaged the galaxy."

Dmitri nodded and did just that as Hijikata sat back in his chair. This just kept getting more and more interesting.
