Yiithren was the first to break the silence that followed Erthos speech.

"So commander Erthos was it? I am captain Yiithren and this is my first mate Kurqruik-" He waved a tentacle in her direction. "-and my chief engineer Strevrols." Another wave. "Now that the introductions are out of the way, on our behalf anyway, lets get down to business hmm?" Leaning forward slightly, Yiithren focused each of his four eyes on the others gathered in the room. The intimidating looking humanoid female and her insect-like pets especially. They looked and acted far too similar to some of the hive minded hordes that had arisen on the remote worlds his people had found for his liking.

"First, how we ended up here to begin with." He said, absentmindedly flicking his tentacles, as though making hand gestures. "My crew and I were on a routine patrol of the Sawomia system when our sensors registered a space-time disturbance. A few minutes later and our ship was engulfed by a bright light. Next thing we knew-" Yiithren shrugged. "-we were here."

"Bahrun, luth'adan…" Strevrols paused, letting out a deep burble as he tapped the side of his head. "Damn neural translator. Anyway, where was I? Oh that's right, as I was saying, I think this phenomenon we, and possibly all of you, experienced was some sort of universal shift. To put it even more simply so your primitive minds can understand, I believe we have all ended up in another universe. It would explain why most of us are so confused and why the constellations are so unrecognizable. Now as to why you and your crew are here commander Erthos… that I cannot say. It may have been a strict case of temporal disturbance when your ship was transported, but without knowing the specifics of how you arrived here, I can't say for sure."

Kurqruik and Yiithren cast brief glances at their colleague, a bit shocked that he had been so... demeaning to those sitting around them, but then again, they were primitives.

Yiithren returned his attention to Erthos. "Erm, yes. As Strevrols says, the most likely answer to our current predicament is universal or at the very least dimensional travel. All that aside however, I do have some questions for you. The first being about this empire you seem so intent on avoiding. I take it they aren't exactly the most... hospitable group of people in this universe?"
