On RADX-001, everything was chaotic. Hastily constructed troop deployers were being adapted to space travel and sent to guard the Gateway soon after the first ship left the planet. Fighting in space wouldn't be a problem for the Enhanced or even the Rejected, weapons were not needed nor were they ever intended to be used in space conditions. 

The Hierarchs gathered in the throne room with courtiers standing in the background whispering between themselves. Church Guards kept the masses at bay. 

On the throne, a slender figure stood. Dressed in a lab coat with a simple crown on her head. The God-Queen was listening to the complaints of the Hierarchs. One at a time or at least, that would've been ideal as they all spoke at the same time.

"SILENCE! EVERYONE! One at a time. Speak only when asked to do so. Christina, approach and state your complaint."

The most human of the Enhanced approached, as ordered, Christina. No visible Enhancements, no strange body parts, nothing would discern her from a normal human. 

"My Goddess, long may you guide us towards the Light. I wish to know why you've sent Ascended William to see if anyone else survived? I don't wish to question your wisdom but I want to better understand it. " Christina spoke with as much diplomacy as ever, a skill which she honed to perfection. 
"He was one of the Rejected, even if Enhanced now. Basically, he is not a human. If our ancestors evolved differently than us, they might think of him as an alien.
And the most important thing. He is not a diplomat, he has no training whatsoever in dealing with others."

"Oh' my dear, that's why I'm the leader and you're not. No foresight at all. That is true, there's a chance that he might be viewed as an alien and destroyed but he's also a golden opportunity to show anyone who's out there, what we're capable of. Thus' bringing my Light to them. As for his skills as a diplomat? You don't have any training whatsoever either. Not real training. Only with Adepts and the sorts. Those mean 0 in front of someone else. "

"M-my Goddess, I-I am sorry for doubting you. I beg your forgiveness" 

"Anyone else wanting to doubt my decisions or is it alright if we wait until Ascended William comes back? I've got work to do. "

A complete silence overcame the room and that's the queue Ashevelen was waiting to leave. She's got experiments to do. Work to continue. Enhancements to improve and stabilize.

"Calm. Keep it straight. Eaaaasy. '' screamed William at his compatriots. Not used to flying, it was hard to teach someone the basics of flying in the first place but to keep it still, that would take a lot more than just a test-fly-by. 

As soon as they were out of the Gateway, they were greeted by other spaceships and behind them, a planet. Similar to the beaches of RADX-001 in color. 

"Hierarch? We're being hailed. " said the pilot. 

"Put it through. Let's see what we're dealing with. Announce the Rejected below to get ready to leap out of the ship and put a few holes into the other ship IF they prove dangerous." 

Initially confusion was all that William was experiencing as the voice kept talking. A few recognisable words but nothing more and then, the message was repeated. English and binary. 
"Adept, analyze the language and save the audio file. The Goddess has to hear this when we get back." 
"Understood, Hierarch."

"Gai Sebai of The Alliance, this is Hierarch William of The Chosen. We come in peace. We wish to see who we're sharing borders with, now that the Gateways have opened. If it's all the same to you. You can board our ship but be careful. Any hostile intent will be answered with extreme prejudice. 
You can come yourself and another 5 men or women. We'll allow you to keep any weapons you bring with yourselves but they have to be holstered. 
I repeat, any hostile intent will be answered with extreme prejudice. " 

Following the example of Gai, he repeated the same message in English and binary.
