"i would suggest fucking off" the captain replies tersly, the cover sailing over her head as the transport is teleported out while she puts her pistol away and moves a hand out towards the guard, causing him to lift as if he were being choked, sailing into the other guard and off the platform they were on.

"kill me and this planet is space dust" the sergeant says evenly, relaxing on the ground as she seems to be done with the fight.

the captain gets her pistol out and takes a snapshot at malice's guards, pegging one directly in the head, winging the one on the other side of her, and then missing malice as she runs to cover, the frigate being ported out rather suddenly, leaving the captain alone on the planet for the time being with one of malice's guards dead, the other wounded beyond the capability of combat, and malice herself having taken cover to avoid the surprise laser fire.

the sergal dodges, flames dancing about her as she seems to catch shepard more than once, leading his movements like a dance rather than reacting to them, winding up with the both of them exhausted, bruised, and panting after a good half hour, shepard bearing burn marks in various places while the sergeant is in much the same state with bruises rather than burns

the captain just pinches the bridge of her nose and sighs before saying evenly "we hadn't picked up life signs so we attempted to start the terra forming process... I've been directed to avoid conflict if at all possible. what is it you wished to speak of in particular?" as she had come with a pistol but she doesn't even reach for it when her guard activate their pikes, the frigate taking off to return to orbit once more, though her transport does stay behind.

shepard's hand is caugh when he goes to punch her as he's punched in the chest, launching him out of the tree she was in, her keen senses seeming to be to his detriment especially since whatever she injected seemed to be counteracting his biological attacks. while her counter techniques were at least allowing her to land hits.

"i'm afraid i must refrain. our terra forming didn't take so the atmosphere ma-" the captain starts before the communications are shut off, the frigate landing nearby and sending a transport vessel to deposit the captain at the palace darth malice had contacted them from. "what is the meaning of this?" the captain asks evenly, seeming more annoyed than distressed as she crosses her arms, towering over malice.

the sergal's shield holds up before she gets out an auto injector, healing the inflammation faster than it can actually choke her, though she does manage to stand in time to have her shield broken by a metal beam which seems to send her flying into the nearby canopy only for a wave of liquid metal to come soaring back

while the crew doesn't actually land, they do send a holo-pod down to achieve basically the same effect. "hello. i'm captain of the frigate class vessel floating overhead. we're here on an exploratory expedition looking for interesting races and you, my friend, are interesting. we're seeking trade agreements and favorable colonies. a nearby planet seems serviceable for a trade outpost depending on negotiations" the captain says evenly through the holo-pod.

when shepard makes contact with her, his arm being nearly instantly charred by a blue flame of some sort before he's punched in the stomach, lifting him a few inches before he's launched off of the launch pad by a hard roundhouse. before she lays her palm on the ground, a pillar of flame launching him sky high before he can even land. "don't fuck with the sergals." the sergeant says irratably after he lands with a thump, cracking her knuckles.

the corvettes mark the city locations and strange power source before returning, the ship attempting to hail the residents of the planet.

the sergal steps out of her ship and immediately punches the commander in the face, not even getting out of her uniform

the sergeant launches a scout team consisting of three corvettes into a low orbit scan.

"and you have highly annoyed us, so i think that's fair" the other sergeant says evenly before the annoyed one stands from behind their desk. "landing pad. ten minutes" the sergant says evenly before a transport is actually launched at the main planet, the sergal captain landing within four minutes

the colony at the barren planet is simply not founded if the terra-forming doesn't take, leaving the voices to go unheard.

"we do not take kindly to being hung up on commander. if you have issue with us then speak it. otherwise instate someone who will in your place" the sergeant to the main sergeant says irately, seeming quite annoyed with his impertinence and underhanded insults that he'd been slinging every time they contacted him.

"very well. i hope to see you again when you change your mind" the captain replies evenly, leaving to the frigate and continuing on it's journey, the other moons soon having more bio-mass shot at them, causing them to grow somewhat lush, but not anywhere near the original moon, seeming to have less potential for life though there are other facilities set up on them as well as additional mines for the moons' metals, causing another similar frigates to be launched in separate directions, but with slightly different and more optimized builds after a few weeks.

After a good month of silence, commander Shepard is rather suddenly called by the sergeant council of the three moons. "hello commander. we wish to negotiate trade deals with your people as our own are overproducing far higher than the maximum quota even with the trade between our colonies. As you can probably tell from a logistical stand point, this is rather taxing to have this much surplus" the female sergeant says evenly, seeming to be the first one in charge of the lunar colonies as her hologram is slightly larger than the other two women beside her.

"that does not coincide with my orders. the vessel i command is exploratory in nature and i'm to avoid all conflict if neccessary. i appreciate the offer but i must decline. however, if you wish to make a trade treaty then i can do that" the captain replies evenly, seeming quite stalwart in her beleifs as she speaks and takes the occasional bite out of her ribs, taking bone and all.
