While Dr. O’Connell was frantically going through the readouts in search of the source of the error, the bridge crew of the [I]Aegis[/I] was quick to react to the situation. Falul’s attention was placed immediately onto his own readouts, and the view screen of the space ahead of them. Whatever words Falul might eventually have for the scientists, his foremost priority was the potential threats ahead of them. 

Falul had the sensor data sent to his own display, and it took just a few seconds for him to start making his decisions. “Are our shields at full strength?” He asked to one of the Sangheili at a console off to his right. 

“Yes, Shipmaster. Only the borer was interrupted by the error.” The crewman answered. 

With that information, Falul’s orders were decisive, and came quickly. “Power the reactor to full and focus all spare output on shields. Acquire targets, but do not yet power weapons." He began, turning his gaze directly to McKay. "You, assist with transferring slipspace control to the secondary borer and get this ship ready for an emergency slipspace jump as [i]soon[/i] as possible.”

Falul paused just a moment, leaning back in his chair as he observed the fleet. “These ship configurations are not Imperial… but this is a military fleet. Cross-reference sensor scans of their vessels with all of the known local ship configurations Erthos provided us. I want to know who they are. And broadcast this message on an open channel.”

“This is Shipmaster Falul ‘Taham of the [I]Immaculate Aegis[/I]. We have arrived in this system unintentionally, with no hostile intent.” Falul announced. 

After he broadcast his message, Falul turned briefly to Uril. "Get a message back to the fleet. Inform them of our situation."
