Fergus jumped after hearing that the ship was falling, and sent a transmission to all the humans on the planet using his neural transmitter. As many tractor beams as possible were locked onto the ship, pushing it upwards. Ships in orbit tried to pull it back into space as well, and droves of atmospheric transport craft flocked to the underside of the massive ship. Their negative mass floats pushed up against the behemoth, trying to slow it down before hitting the shield wall. But it was no use, and the ship continued to careen downwards. People jumped out of the transports trying to slow it down, passing through the shield wall with their own tuned personal shields. The ships continued to hold the flagship up, and it began to slow down. Of course, due to the properties of the negative mass floats, the slower it went the less quickly it slowed down. It finally impacted the shield barrier, crushing the transport craft underneath it and breaching the hull in multiple places. At that point, the ship began to slowly move upwards due to the tractor beams, until it came to rest just under the clouds. The tractor beams kept on it, as repair drones were launched to patch up the hull.

"That god for that shield wall, if it hadn't been there we'd all be dead!" Exclaimed the Empress
"I have confirmation." Said both Fergus, Dmitri, and Emily all together, creating an almost disturbing group of voices. "Emergency craft are being dispatched, and Abh marines are boarding the vessel to provide protection for its crew. Disaster averted, the inhabitants of this planet want us to continue with the talks and allow them to deal with the ship."
Emily spoke individually after the message "By religious tolerance we mean you have to allow others to believe what they want to. Basically, it makes it illegal to convert any individual through underhanded means such as brainwashing or mind control. And of course, no wars over beliefs. You can still hate other beliefs with extreme passion, but you cannot act on that passion unless those who share that belief act on their passion first. Also, you're entirely right about the origins of most religions, but some seem to have stemmed from actual events. Most religions in modern nations that are not theocracies seem to have just survived because of the fanatic believers of them, or because of extra-dimensional beings."
