The message received from the first ship was carefully recorded, copied and immediately redirected to the planet. There, imperial cryptographers will try to decipher it, but at the moment the meaning of this phrase remains a mystery for Irri.
From the Irri ship, a radio signal was sent to both alien ships with a small welcome speech, which was dictated personally by the Empress a few years ago.
“Greetings, intelligent creatures of unknown nature. The Creator’s plans are unpredictable, and my role in them is no greater than the role of a miserable atom; I will accept any purpose that had been ordained for me, rejecting senseless joy or sadness, nonetheless, I am pleased to realize that In my short life I will be honored to see a representative of another civilization unknown to me hitherto.
Everything will be by the will of the Creator and everything is written in his Sacred Spirals. I hope we are destined to become friends."
This message was also duplicated by the standard Irri space cipher, consisting of light signals.
When the black-orange ship, ignoring the first alien ship, headed toward the planet, the commander of the "Eye" had already managed to gather his thoughts. Having regained his composure, the honorary graduate of the Imperial Military Academy briefly and clearly commanded something to his two adjutants. Those, in turn, shouted something into the small pocket transmitters. Orders rushed along the chain of officers and soldiers.
FDF war machine started it's work.
As if from the void between the planet and the aliens, the Irri battle ship arose. Slowly it turned nose to the black-orange ship, demonstrating four mass accelerators, and then surprisingly quickly turned its unarmed and defenseless side. However, this ship still hangs between the MISE ship and Itteri'cra.
And then everything went wrong again. The appearance of the third ship was not as much a surprise as the appearance of the second ... But it was still damn sudden. However, now commander of the gravitational telescope did not show his fear to his subordinates.
Small Irri ship, before diving into the Empress's Eye dock, repeated the broadcast twice more and sent the text with light signals three times a row. The telescope turned the lens towards the damaged fighter with unexpectable maneuverability and stayed still for a while.
