[center][h2]Bridge of the [i]Resurgence[/i][/h2][/center] [center][@datadogie][/center] While no response was immediate, Jason passed along the order for all hands to battle stations, just in case. However, as the ARC fighters and V-wings were taking up their formations and patrol lines, a large, alien...SOMETHING dropped out of what basically looked like a hole in the universe. Lines of scrimmage were taken up by the escorts and Hammer ordered Y-Wings prepped for sorties. Jason, however, held up a hand. "Do not launch those bombers unless we are absolutely certain that that thing is hostile. DO NOT engage without orders or I'll have you court martialed and launched out the airlock." Hammer nodded and passed the orders along and for several long moments, the group only grew more nervous as more and more hostiles appeared on the radar. Eventually, the space around the massive creature seemed fuzzy from the fliers with it. "Coms, try to raise them." The man, one Jerus Je'and, a former bounty hunter who'd joined up after the Remnant had first made their presence in Hutt Space known, nodded. "Unidentified Organic vessel, this is the [i]Resurgence[/i], flagship of the Republic Remnant's fleet. Please identify yourself and your intentions." He waited several minutes. "No response sir." The large being continued to move in closer and Jason frowned. "Gun batteries, fire warning shots, two volleys. NO hits, even on their escort. I just want it clear that until we hear from them, they don't get clo-" WIthout warning, Jerus looks at the Supreme Commander as he stands. "Sir...I think we got a response, but...well...it was in my head." Jason raised an eyebrow at his communication's officer. "The only people I ever worked with that could hear people in their head like that were...lieutenant, is there something you aren't telling me?" Sighing, Jerus reached behind him and pulled out a long metal cylinder before igniting both ends, revealing a silver and orange bladed double-bladed lightsaber. "My parents worked hard to stay hidden and suggested I do the same, didn't want the Jedi, and later the Empire, to get me. Sorry, sir." Hammer and Jason exchange looks before the Supreme Commander replies. "Given the time you worked in, I can't blame them. What does it want?" Jerus grimaces. "Short version? She doesn't want a fight but needs a non-mental way to speak with us." Mentally, he lashes out against the invasive presence, making sure to make it wince. [i]Threaten me or this crew again, there won't be enough of you or that beast of yours to fill a cup. We'll get you what you need.[/i] Jason had been conversing with Hammer in the interim before a plan was set in motion. "We've sent orders to the engineering to send one of our FOB holo-communicators into the space between us. They can pick it up and it will work how they need." Jerus nods, deactivating the blades and putting it back on his belt loop. [i]We're sending one of our communications devices out into the space between us. Pick it up and set it up and we'll speak further then.[/i] "Message sent sir." Nodding, Jason returns to watching the beast, barely noting the shining metal that slowly floated towards it. Hopefully, they could come to an accordance with who ever or whatever was in charge of it and not have to fight each other.
