Sector Delta, Monitoring Station 92

"Sir, we're recieving a first contact signal! It's coming from system FI-27365-586!"

Alarms began to blare across the monitoring station, personnel frantically scrambling to their stations. The station commander's voice came over the station PA system.

"All personnel, this is not a drill. We have a first contact situation. I repeat, this is not a drill. We have a first contact situation. All appropriate personnel to your stations. Send the standard response message to system FI-27365-586 after translation is possible.

Minutes later, a response message was sent. There were two voices - one low, and masculine(1). The other was feminine, and seductive(2).

(1)"We are the Bicirrigan species. We are a people who believe in science and intellect, above all else."
(2)"We are very glad to meet another species that wishes to know about the universe. We hope our peoples will become very good friends and allies."
(1)"Send your response as soon as possible. We will be waiting."

Well, it clearly isn't a joke. That is the oldest trick in the book to get out of something. And, really, trying to get me kicked out of the fight just because you want to win? Real smooth.

Tripemon smirked, tapping his fingers against the arms of his chair. "I'm glad to hear that you will accept our help. I want you to give the Iscandarians a message for me. If they do conquer Earth... I will personally fire the weapon that cracks their homeworld in half. See you in just a moment. Let's show these bastards what they deserve. Close channel."

"Order all craft to fire bias drives. I want our entire fleet just outside of Earth Orbit. Fire on everything that isn't ours or human."

Within thirty seconds, the BIMR fleet appeared behind the Iscandarians, a massive flurry of firepower slamming into their craft. At the spearhead was the
Imperial Quasar, a slow-moving 30km long giant with a massive RKV gun through the spine, twin gravity cannons hugging its firing tube. It turned to face the dreadnaught, the RKV tube glowing with a small, bright orange light. The light began to move towards the dreadnaught at incredible speeds, but, before the light even struck, the RKV collided with the dreadnaught, unleashing incredible kinetic energy as it soaked the Iscansarian craft in its plasma trail, finally vaporizing only after imparting incredible force. The twin gravity guns fired immediately after the RKV struck, gravitational forces crushing anything in their wake. That was when the full force of the BIMR fleet struck.

Although I try to avoid being vindictive, Duck does need to be punished in some way. If he isn't, he will never learn.

The High Admiral almost chuckled after watching the videos, smirking at an empty viewscreen. "You expect these things to surprise me? Every species, no matter how noble, makes mistakes. Every being is fallible, driven towards chaos, just as the universe they were born from. Our species has made its own fair of horrible mistakes, just as I am sure yours has. Yes, these things you show me are disgusting and despicable, but I believe it is merely the result of a lack of knowledge. The humans be provided all available information on the matter, and make their own decision, without the oppression of another power such as yourselves. Else, the intellect that is unique to every species is lost upon them. They do not posses human intellect, but that of a puppet. You have five minutes to respond."

I dont see a question, I just see lots of whining.

To be fair, they make good points. Having a weakness-free nation in an RP is like hacking a game to get ahead in multiplayer. It ruins the fun for everyone else.
Not to mention the fact that, well, putting a new coat of paint on MLP isn't really making it a new thing, just like how the cosplayers that make "(insert random series here) ponified" are unoriginal and boring.

Before anyone freaks on my species "suddenly" appearing in the Oort cloud, they had been monitoring Earth for several years, and, as I made a big point of in my app, the Bicirrigans are obsessed with protecting intellectual freedom.

Lol Jed, I hope I dont seem warlike, Aradites are nice people. They are just really careful, there arent alot of them

Nah. War is more only an issue when it's senseless and has no purpose aside from violence. Granted, the Bicirrigans themselves are much the same. They are extremely short-fused and cautious. They're a strange species, obviously. H

"The humans are under threat. Fleet Primaris Sol, commence deployment. You are cleared to utilize lethal force. Target any extraterrestrial forces deemed hostile to homo sapiens with extreme prejudice. This message has been authorize by the High Council. Any extraterrestrials that refuse to lay down arms are to be terminated at all costs."

High Admiral Tripemon paced frantically around the ready room of his flagship, the eyes of the Imperial Quasar, his senior officers watching him intently. When the admiral froze, they did too, hanging on his every movement. He sighed deeply, his battle-scarred tungsten shell glimmering in the artificial light.

"Order all craft to battle-ready status. I want transports ready to deploy supplies and ground troops to Terra by the time we pass Pluto's orbit. Prepare implosion charges for immediate launch. Questions?"

Tripemon's communications officer spoke up immediately. "You're not going to send a message, sir?"

Tripemon chuckled, shaking his head. "No. I want these aliens, whoever they are, to know that any strike against a race of science is a personal affair for us, and I want the humans to know that we intend to protect their freedom. I want them to know that we are not about to be trifled with. You all have ten minutes to prepare for battle. Then I will deliver our ultimatum."

Bridge of the Imperial Quasar

The High Admiral nodded to his communications officer. "All possible frequencies. Open a universal comms channel with advanced linguistic decoding. I don't want any misunderstandings. Send supplemental methods in the form of numeric code."

"You're on, sir."

"Very well, then... Greetings to the invaders, to the human race. I am High Admiral Tripemon of the Bicirrigan Interstellar Meritocratic Republic. The beings of tungsten and technology that inhabit the isolated fringe of the galactic West. I have been ordered here by my government to monitor and protect the human race from outside threats, with lethal force if necessary. I come not as an oppressor, only as a guardian. I have no intention of ruling any part of Sol, not do I intend to establish military bases in Sol without direct permission from the Terran government. Our sensor net has recently detected an unwelcome incursion upon the system of Sol. This an incursion that my government, under no circumstances, will tolerate. This is my only warning to those who would stifle intellectual freedom. My fleet serves only as an arm of Earth, for the time being. I have been ordered to allow a minimum of ten minutes for a response from the invaders before I order my craft to exterminate them with as much prejudice as our guns can muster. Your ten minutes begin...Now."

The Bicirrigans are sending an expeditionary fleet to Sol. Anything aside from humans they will spot?
