((Yep, Nouvelle, because that isnt already cluttered! xD)) Thought for the day "Pain is temporary, Honour is forever" Ardent Inquisitor Inquisitor Class Prowler Nouvelle Space Hiding in the shadow of the gas giant The Special Operations Major stood, looking into the holograms of the High Councillors; Mercy, Wisdom and Integrity. He couldnt help feel out of his league. He, a mere Spec Ops Major, was consulting directly with the high councillors. The Special Operations Majors black Combat Dress dully caught the blueish light, its metallic armour pieces and somewhat stylised headpiece giving his already imposing form the unmistakable air of a warrior, though the armour modules currently lay dormant in order to avoid detection. He spoke in the Grey Tongue, as expected of Special Operations when addressing the High Councillors "That is correct, the sightings of the transport can be considered confirmed" He reported "Alien life? What does it look like?" Wisdom inquired, his hands coming to rest clasped before him "Our equipment suggests several different types present on the planet. They appear to be bipedal. There's another thing... We identify that from 4 of the present aliens, they grow... fur on their heads..." "Fur?" Integrity questioned "Yes, fur. In some so long it would make a garg bow." "They are non-reptilian then." Integrity concluded with a small frown "Yes. They appear to be descended from primates mostly" "Describe what you see." Mercy demanded, waving the Major on. The Major turned to the second hologram as it displayed basic representations of the species "One species... flesh varying around dark red hues... black-red fur... Second species, wildly varying flesh colours and fur colours... I would propose they were the same species but they seem... different. They are definitely far more advanced. They're attacking a maybe a space craft... Might be yet another nation... I see another space craft. I'd guess it belonged to the native species due to its thicker armour but its design seems off. None of this makes sense" The Major paused for a moment "You are confused, Major?" Wisdom asked, to which the Major slowly nodded "Yes. The scenario makes no sense, they all look like they are related in some way... but the tech gap is unimaginable" "I see. Continue your observations as you see fit, keep your craft running dark and in the shadow of that gas giant. I want to know about this planet. First comtact is only to be made on my command, Major." Mercy decreed, ending the holofeed with another hand wave "Of course..." The Major began, then was cut off. He turned and marched out of the chamber, meeting one of the Special Operations Minors outside "When do we make contact?" The Minor inquired, tilting his head curiously. Naturally, he spoke in the black tongue and the Major quickly switched his language, becoming even deeper and harsher when many would have deemed such an action impossible. "When I say" The Major responded, waving him off as he approached the center bridge hologram. He paused for a moment before turning his head "Ensure your Combat Dress is prepared and your Active Camoflague modules are attached." He ordered the crew, staring intently at the holographic planet
