[b]Sol System[/b] Captain Abriel looked on in awe as the Equestrians used their magic, amazed at how similar the power was to that described in the ancient legends. "Our myths describe beings with such power, and it was said they could even use it to bring an inanimate body to life. That power had the same name, Magic. However, they were bipedal like us, and are said to have looked just like humans. Of course, it couldn't have been them, humans are too closed-minded to have done the great things the Magic users once did." Interestingly, the brown haired man she called Jinto took no offense to this, despite obviously being a genetic human. "So, our language is universal?" Said Jinto "The chances of that being true are quite literally nonexistent. I mean, it's unlikely for an alien species to even be capable of speaking our language, much less already being fluent. Perhaps those religious-" He was interrupted by the shrieking of an alarm, and the lights of the station went red. Captain Abriel ran over to a wall and hit the intercom. "Why in the name of the goddess did you activate the alarm!?" She said. After a while, she responded to an answer nobody else heard. "Well then shut it off! They're not shooting at us, now are they? ... Yes, their claims are probably true. We just made contact with a species that using literal, actual magic in the place of hands. An interdimensional war is more probable... Repeat please." Her face took on a look of shock, and her skin went pale. "Take that joke as a serious statement then. Power up the streamer network, let's be ready." She left the intercom, and turned to the Equestrian diplomats. "There's a ridiculously large fleet knocking on our door, telling us to leave our homes behind because our system is going to fall under attack from extra-universal forces. And you have no hands and use actual magic. In the event that I am wrong, forget everything I am about to do." While most people expected her to divulge secret information, Jinto promptly covered his ears. "JINTOOOOOOOO!" Screamed the Captain at a deafening intensity. Jinto took his hands off his ears, and the Captain waited for a few moment. "Ah. Well then..." She said, turning bright red "Either one of us is sleeping very, very well, or this is actually happening. Because neither me nor Officer Linn is the legendary hero of the Ancient Crusades, this is probably real. In case you know of the alien species that just entered the system, tell us everything you know. In the meantime, I'll try to stall them." She once again moved to the intercom, this time hooking it up with the station's comm system. "This is Viscountess Abriel Paryunu of the Humankind Empire Abh, my full name is Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Bœrh Parhynr Lamhirh, and I would prefer it if you referred to me as such. We are technologically capable of interstellar travel, but we are currently in the process of constructing out first starship which will be incapable of surpassing the speed of light. The evacuation of non-military personnel is impossible for the human factions as all infrastructure on the planet would collapse and it would be completely useless for whatever defensive plan you propose. The Humankind Empire Abh is capable of ordering temporary military service based on one's social rank, standard citizens can be called to duty for two months, and the Emperor or Empress is always considered on active military duty. Erm... would you be willing to discuss the subject face-to-face? Or face-to-wherever your eyes are, or face-to-wherever your non-eye sensory organs are? Or maybe face-to-faceplate?" [b]Imperial Capture[/b] "I am from the Deimos Colony in the Prime universe. I had the privilege of seeing the great Terra up close." Said the Admiral, now having accepted her fate. She knew that there was no way out, even for her.
