[b]Triarian-Pact Hostility[/b] Multiple planetary defense fleets have been mobilized, and put on the border closest to the Equiis Pact with the capability to wormjump into defensive positions around important planets. A messsage has been sent to both sides of the conflict from President Saveli. "The Allied Interstellar Federation will not allow a war! Your fleets will stand down and you will both send diplomats to the Abh capital of Lakfakalle for peace talks. There is a peaceful resolution to this conflict, we just have to find it!" [b]Mars, Federation MIlitary Command[/b] "The Triarians and Equiis Pact may not survive this war. They know not the destruction they will bring upon the universe as a whole." "It is a tragedy we could very well be unable to stop without direct military action against both sides. We may be forced to kill our brothers and sisters in the stars." "What of the Ultimate Goal?" "We will begin sending out more exploration and colony ships, order all craft to be on the constant lookout for sentient species to be accepted into the Federation." [b]IFV McClain, Fath[/b] The great starship cruised through Fath, protected from its alien physical laws by a new type of shielding designed specifically for Fath travel. A smaller alien craft had docked with it after Retsukuu had been defeated, neglecting to request clearance. As the crew of the alien ship appeared to have helped in the fight, Fergus had allowed them to dock without being met with weapons fire. A small security crew had been taken to the docking port by Fergus himself, composed entirely of Tractatori. The airlock doors separating the two craft opened, revealing the Captain of the alien ship. Seeing Fergus, she smiled. Fergus simply stared, while everyone else just wondered what was going on. The alien captain spoke in her own language, saying the standard greeting of her people. She knew how Federation translators worked. A few moments later, the translator implants of the Federation crew began to understand the alien language. "I know you." Said Fergus, more confused than anything else. "Yes, yes you do. Captain Lahnha, S.I.S.A. We've spoken before." "Lahnha... you... you actually exist!" Said Fergus, falling onto his knees in astonishment. "Thank you... thank you! Everyone, you are in the prescence of the savior of humanity!" Not knowing what to do, the Tractatori simply stood there trying to decide if Fergus was insane or not. "Thank you so much... thank you!" Continued Fergus, trailing off in an undescribable emotional state.
