Facility A-1
Kacha was able to send the probe back for a few seconds, but the Archmage quickly but back on track. Kacha did not have much mana in him to use, because he had not been trained in magic ever. Nor was he experienced enough to control something as unpredictable as Dark Magic. Kacha heard a thought come across the mental link established between the Archmage and him by the probe

"You are weak, untrained. Your magic is not capable of holding against ours. However... the potential that exists inside you is great. I am afraid however that I must finish what I started. Your fellow soldiers though... Looks like I will have the magical warriors I wanted to after all."

The Archmage stepped into the casting circle, pulling out a silver dagger. He took and stabbed down into the Aradite's arm, taking it all the way across. He repeated the process for the other arm and his his legs. The Aradite watched as the Archmage returned to where he was outside of the circle, and he chanted something. The blood that was now pouring from his wounds arced over him, as he felt his energy and strength draining from him, as the new layer to the spell used his own blood to power the probe.

Falacian Asteroid
One of the Iscandarian Soldiers slid across the floor and put both of the grenades under him, acting as a shield. When the explosion occurred he was thrown against the wall as blood and gore went flying everywhere. The other soldiers retreated oddly, even know the fight was not clear cut yet. However when they did the mech from earlier appeared, and began firing its rail-guns that were meant for taking down heavy fighters at the Septonians.

((For reasons, I am going to redo what was going on with the Septonians at Facility A-1 and the Falacia Asteroid.))

Falacian Asteroid
Upon entering they found that their forced entry had triggered a alarm, as they heard heavy thunks from across the base, which was likely blast doors sealing to prevent them from going any farther. They saw a two separate squads of six Iscandarians soldiers each come down separate hallways, carrying large metal crates to act as cover from enemy fire. The Iscandarians fired first, using the same rifles that caused extreme pain rather then actually kill. It seems that Facility A-1 still wanted more Septonians for its experiments.

Facility A-1, Casting Chamber
Kacha was layed down in a circle, that could be best described as some kind of circle for summing demons. A archmage plus two other mages took positions around the circle, each with a gem in either hand to act as a magical amplifier. As the spell began the circle lit up with a strange red energy, as Kacha felt a probe begin burrowing into his mind. It was strong, and unlike the translation spell it was subversive, making it slightly more effective at penetrating mental defenses. It was unknown how long Kacha could hold, but the Archmage and the Mages were doing their best to get past his mental barrier.

New Alas Station
Upon entering the station the diplomatic party saw two different squads in the hangar watching the diplomats and their guards, in the black titanium armor used by the Iscandarian military. A diplomat, in simple sleek blue robes approached the party.

"Welcome to New Alas." bowed the diplomat.

There is a wiki linked in the main post, if you want to dump the apps there.

You do got to consider the fact that 3 different people are contributing magic to this spell, all who have amplifiers. That's a pretty hard combination to hold off unless you have prior knowledge of such spells.

Moving on. Duck, was Apollo ok with your archmage just overriding his soldiers mental defenses? I'm just interested as to how that arc will turn out, seeing as the septonians are in a real pickle now.

He has not overridden them, although I do not think Kacha is going to last long. His own blood is draining from and he looses energy fast.

Facility A-1
The Archmage seem surprised, but his probe did not reach his mind, the Archmage was to well trained compared to the Aradite for him to be able to so easily repulse the magic, the Archmage put the probe back on track, sending it borrowing into the Aradite's mind. A message was broadcasted across the link that had been established between the two by the magic.

"So you are magic sensitives? However... You are untrained children, barely capable of controlling the gift that flows through your veins. You will be useless soon, but perhaps soon I can train your fellows and turn them into weapons to be used against your soldiers. But now, looks like I will need your own blood to power this spell...

The Archmage stepped into the casting circle, pulling out a silver dagger. He took and stabbed down into the Aradite's arm, taking it all the way across. He repeated the process for the other arm and his his legs. The Aradite watched as the Archmage returned to where he was outside of the circle, and he chanted something. The blood that was now pouring from his wounds arced over him, as he felt his energy and strength draining from him, as the new layer to the spell used his own blood to power the probe.

Facility A-1, Holding Chambers
Vahlen stepped back into the room as she looked at the Septonians/Aradites(not really sure what I am supposed to call them at this point) and smiled.

"Your friend will soon be nothing but a babbling mess, but I still have plans for the all of you." said Vahlen.

Falacia Asteroid
The Iscandarian soldiers, especially with the shields from the mage, were a lot more resilient then the Aradites had expected. In particular they managed to fell the soldiers shooting the 40mm grenades at them, but the Iscandarians did end up dying after all. The mage had retreated, likely to gather reinforcements.

The Septonians rushed in attempts to get to the 2nd floor where the communications were, as they were still in the entrance dome where they had come in and not on the floor where communications was. They were met with a extremely large blast door though, that could probably hold against most of the explosives the Septonians could throw at it. Behind them they heard a lot of clanking, and then they saw the mech that they had seen before guarding the entrance. The thing immediately began firing extremely powerful rail-guns, ripping through the Septonians. Behind a few Iscandarians appeared, but their visors were obscured. They moved faster then any sentient should be able to and it seemed extremely unnatural, they did not have guns but energy blades appeared from their gauntlets, which began cutting, stabbing, and chopping the Septonians.

New Alas
"The station directly above the planet is where we shall meet."

From Stardust, To Stardust

New Alas
New Alas was a shining gem of a planet, and important in the vast industrial machine of the Eternal Union. The system had several mining operations in it's asteroid fields as well as a vast amount of shipyards around the planet, which had entered full production. A message was sent to the corvette, and oddly it was translated into their language already.

"Greetings, we are the Eternal Union. Welcome to New Alas."

Facility A-1
"Oh, so you are those kind of soldiers. Looks like we will have to do this the extremely hard way." said Vahlen. She pressed a button, as each Septonian felt a sharp jab into their arm, some kind of machine was gathering blood samples. Vahlen gathered them up as they came out of a different machine and two large looking Iscandarian soldiers came into the room, the glass chamber opened for a minute as Kacha's restraints dropped off, and he was grabbed by the soldiers and slapped into a pair of cuffs. He was dragged somewhere else as another two soldiers came into the room and the glass chamber resealed.

Meanwhile Kacha had been dragged into a new chamber. Three mages stood there, one of which was a extremely powerful Archmage. Kacha was strapped down to what he could best describe as some kind of ritualistic summoning circle. The three mages stood around the circle, each with a black gem in their hand, as they begun channeling energy into the circle. Unlike the translation spell this spell was subversive, forcing it's way into the Septonian's mind. There was a lot of energy behind the spell as well, as this time a Archmage was apart of the casting, Archmages being known to be some of the strongest mages in existence. When they had gotten into the Septonian's mind they ripped it apart, taking information about locations of Septonian worlds as well as military intelligence and how huge their navy and ground forces were.

Falacian Asteroid
What they Septonians had not realized is that they had just triggered a alarm, and it was now full on blaring in the facility. Immediately upon entering was a turret gun hanging from the ceiling, which began firing pretty heavy rounds at the Septonians. The entrance behind them quickly sealed with a much heavier door that was probably going to take a while to cut through. A few soldiers began approaching, backed by a mage who was shielding them. This was not going to be easy for the Septonians, at all.

Well they are not a threat to to galactic existence, they do not want to destroy it so much as estiblish themselves as a dominate power and rule over it.

From Stardust, To Stardust

I am not sure where we even left off with the Ethereals.

Oh and it might be helpful knowledge to ya Kyelin, the Iscandarians have been corrupted by a force known as Chaos since you have been gone so yeah.
