[center][h3][i]Moonreaver[/I] Location unknown[/h3][/center] [hr] Broodmother Ikani stood by the radio for a good few moments, running through everything she had heard so far. The other ships experienced the strange flash of light, which seemed to be the cause for their transportation to this place. There was still several questions that hadn't been answered, such as how or why they had been sent here, or where here even was, but those would have to be answered later. Besides, she doubted that any of the other ships would know, given that they all were apparently brought to this place just as she was. Next, the captain of the other ship, this 'Valtrix', directly addressed her, asking for everyone to have a face-to-face meeting aboard his ship. As his message finished, she stood by the radio, contemplating her choices. A face-to-face meeting would help to reduce the confusion surrounding this whole scenario, and he did bring up a good point in that, if they didn't do something, someone could get spooked and start shooting. Although, she was always worried about the possibility of walking into an ambush. Exhaling, she turned to face Shelley. [color=a187be]"What's your opinion on all this?"[/color] [color=f7941d]"It seems like a good idea. I can feel that you're worried, but they would have nothing to gain by attacking us."[/color] She walked up beside her. [color=f7941d]"Maybe we could finally get some answers."[/color] [color=a187be]"Maybe."[/color] She looked back towards the radio, which was picking up transmissions from the other ships. There were a few different people speaking, who sounded Terran from their voices and the names of their ships and governments. Shelley took a step closer to the radio, a curious expression on her face. Ikani turned to face her. [color=a187be]"Do you recognize them?"[/color] She shook her head. [color=f7941d]"They're from Earth, but not our Earth. The United Nations was an old multinational organization on Earth. In our...uh, universe, I guess, they eventually became the United Earth Directorate. But, it seems where they came from, the United Nations didn't collapse, and survived long enough to have their own space navy."[/color] Ikani nodded. [color=a187be]"I see..."[/color] [color=f7941d]"It also seems like, despite the similarities, they're from different universes, because one's the United Nations Cosmos Navy, and the other's the United Nations Space Command. Or the United Earth Government...well, on [i]behalf[/i] of the United Earth Government, so they're probably a branch of their military. Huh..."[/color] [color=a187be]"This is why I don't bother with Terran politics."[/color] Grumbling, she pressed a button on the radio, preparing to send another transmission. [color=f7941d]"Are you going to take up his offer?"[/color] [color=a187be]"I suppose I am."[/color] Pressing a button, she began to broadcast on an open channel. [color=a187be]"[I]Renatus[/I], this is Broodmother Ikani. You will have your meeting. Tell us where to land, and we will be on our way."[/color] She paused for a moment, considering the ship that apparently lacked shuttle craft. [color=a187be]"And to the [i]Andromeda[/i], while we could technically carry your personnel to the meeting, our...shuttle craft are not exactly designed to be used by Terrans. If nobody else is willing to, we can take you, but I recommend you look towards the other ships for help with your issue."[/color]
