Light fades away... The Black Sun will rise! GSR returns. [Event]

There isn't any particular place that we'll have resided, mainly because Ajakis is long lost, well that's the only place any of the Akyratés have imagined residing until recently, so i'm told. The Ambassador ship Longstring should be nearby some quadrant..what system do you use?

The reply pinpoints several excavation sites where old tunnels were filled with rubble or collapsed, as well as a larger site where a deep hole for an anti-orbital emplacement is being dug.

After a while tea and brownies are being delivered while the Germans in the room take some beer and coffee themselves.
The officer nods slightly, smiling: "Yeah, it is pointless to hold grudges when after all, ve all come from zhe same blood. By zhe way, where does your nation reside at zhe moment?"
He sips his beer.

"Hmm... very interesting. Vhat kind of firearm is zhat?"
He takes a closer look at the raw materials as well.
Two soldiers closely monitor the setting up of the device as well.

boombox "yes, that would be greatly appreciated, preferably some tea and hash-browns for me and my men here" Saigō would take off his SBR and put it back into his kitbag giving way to a weathered, scared and tired face. He was a clean-shaven man with a face that looked to have shared several conflicts, wars, skirmishes and much more. He set his Sten MK.7 down, leaving it to lean against the chair that he had taken a seat upon.
"it is good to see that we can look past what has happened those many years ago."

"Well i'll be honest since by the apperance of our ships and such it isnt hard to figure. We get a lotta stuff from piracy, now for many it may seem "immoral" and such though it does pay up. You's could even ask us to directly pirate certain escorts and such, our disquises make us anonymous so as long as this deal stays in the shadows, you have a lot of potential."
The captain looks back at the communicator, of which opens a cubboard in the device. The communicator takes out a briefcase, coming over and placing it on the table.
the captain turns the briefcase around, opening it towards the officer.
Inside the briefcase, you see a lot of different material, different types of both combat drugs/addrenaline, some magazines coming from all kinds of producers, even what looks to be a small firearm, its origin quite unclear at the moment.
"And thats just the beginning of it! Imagine crates of this coming semi-regularly, either as general or as specific as you'd like."
The captain leans back towards the communicator.
"Connect it up will ya?"
The communicator begins to start up the device, taking out a battery, connecting it and such. As stated it looks fairly old, though eventually he gets it working.

boombox At the tunnels, nearby locusts are relocated, or more brought in via the teleportation pads. But at the larger dig site, multiple phantoms hover around, and get everyone away from the site, a loud whooshing is heard, and a huge cloud of dust and a crash, then blue lights flicker on with whirring and beeping noises, as a Massive, 4 legged Vehicle Rises, a Powerful Excavation Beam on the front, aswell as an Anti-Air cannon, the beast awaits orders from the Sites Foreman or Commander.
"Type 47 Scarab Excavation platform Awaiting instructions. Excavation Beam Charged and ready."

As it happens, my ship, whatwasitagain.. (Caller of Stars) The Caller of Stars, is in that region. We Akyratés are spread out quite a bit..well..this galaxy's smaller than most I believe. Longstring is in the adjacent quadrant..which way does it go, clock or counter?

"We hold our lands in orbit of the earth, The dwarf planet of Sedna if that rings a bell. Please, come around sometime, we'd be delighted to show you around. Although I'd suggest you exit FTL about 50KM early at the least, There's a large amount of scrap from enemy and ailled ship alike." the Saigō would chuckle a bit "Wouldn't want you getting shredded before we could even say hello!" Saigō would sip his tea, he'd seem to calm down a bit more, as if an edge was being taken off. Saigō would straighten his posture ever so slightly and take in a deep breath and, in a much calmer tone than before He'd ask the officer a question. "So, you have any other questions for us while we're here fritz?"

meanwhile, one of Lancaster's crewmen, first lt. "Nigel" started to hum a song, one that sounded..... familiar to the officer, " Weit ist der Weg züruck ins Heimatland"

Saigō would pass the officer a sphere. "it contains everything you need to locate us, Jump codes, Nav data, Hell...even a map if I'm correct."

The captain looks over, one eyebrow up.
"Well, to be honest, we found it on a ship along some trade route. It seems to mostly have engravings, not really tactically benifitial."
Though as he rambles a bit about some "daring ship encounter" you spot more closely on the firearm. It seems to belong to none other than the aforementioned VWP. Then again you notice the captain clearly not showing knowledge on the origin moreover describing his own glory.

The foreman, very impressed, gives the Scarab Excavator the thumbs up to dig down as plans for the needed hole are transmitted to the crawler, the plans showing that the hole is needed to be roughly 200x200 metres wide and almost a kilometre straight down.
"Heilige Scheiße, wasn Teil."

There is a Screeching Noise, as the Beam Charges, and then it begins Firing, Evaporating Tons or Rock Per second, Once the hole Reaches about 200 metres deep, it moves its head, starting more, and more, until a Hole, Roughly 200mx200m wide and 1km deep is dug out. It is quite rough, and not exact, but much quicker than traditional methods. The Beam Stops firing, and the Scarab moves aside for them to get to work, and Powers down to recharge.

We'd be in the area R-2.5 for lack of better term. I'm not sure we've heard of the Kel'Shir, though there's a few mentions in the records actually. Just not too many information about them, surprisingly. How should we meet? I imagine intruding in borders wouldn't be polite. (as another in our fleet is doing..)

The foreman, very impressed, nods and gives some commands to clear the rubble and remains as well as dust in the hole, and thankfully gives a thumbs up to the scarab.
"Thanks, zhat was a massive help! Vithout you ve would have taken weeks!"

"Just doing what we can to help you back on your feet, Friend."
A Few More Hours of Supplies Dropping down to the Planet and Mining Operations. A Few Locusts are left on the planet to help in the Future, As Well as a Few Spirits. The CSO, Now Empty of most of its Supplies, Calls back the SDV's and Prepares for Slipspace Jump.
Within the Box, there is a Data-Chip, when connected to a Computer system, it contains Schematics to hand-Held Railguns, Plasma Rifles. and Contains Blueprints to the Type-32 Rapid Assault vehicle, also Known as the ghost, The Type-LAGC, aka the Revenant, and The Type-47 Heavy Assault Platform, a Slightly Smaller Version of the Type-47 Ultra Heavy Excavation Platform, more Suited to Combat. And Finally, It Has the Blueprints to the Vampire Heavy. (Uses GA, WH40k, and Kroom's Mod. Modify as you see Fit, if you even want It.)

Possibly, it might not be the, uh, Caller of Stars..don't mind me not knowing the ship name, i'm new captain. (he's better at everything else though)

(Thanks! I'll be sure to use it if i get the chance and am able to refit it to GSR looks!)

All of this is categorized and catalogued. then stored away for future use.

"Again, thank you for zhe help and resources! Ve will be able to begin and maintain more.. open operations much sooner now. Should you ever need any help, be zhat military or civilian, let us know!"

"Just let us know of your arrival vhen you enter our borders. You vill most likely not meet anyone zhere, our operations are currently limited to zhe core worlds."

The officer slightly shakes his head and smiles a bit while taking the sphere and setting it next to him on the table. "Not really, just would like to return zhe favour. Here is a data chip vith all zhe core informations about zhe Reich and our history as well as a map and Nav-Codes for FTL Lanes and everyzhing. By zhe way, completely forgot to introduce meinself. Generalleutnant Udo Hoppenstedt zhe name, a pleasure to get to know you."
He smiles warmly and pushes the chip over the table to Saigo.

As Nigel starts humming, one of the soldiers sitting across the table begins to sing the first verse of the song...
and another joined in.. and another, until the whole room of about 20 german soldiers and officers loudly sung along.
"Weit ist der Weg zurück ins Heimatland, so weit, so weit!..
Dort, wo die Sterne stehn am Waldesrand, blüht die neue Zeit, die neue Zeit!
Jeder brave Grenadier sehnt heimlich sich nach dir!"

At the end of the song the one who had started to sing along first smiles a bit:
"You know vhat? You Islanders are alright. Here, have zhis as a remembrance."
And he rips a small iron cross pendant from a silver chain around his neck and throws it to Nigel.

HMS-Hood

Nigel looked at the pennant "Eh, you're not so bad yourself Fritz." Nigel would unpin a medal from his uniform, a Victoria Cross, and toss it to the soldier that had given him the Iron Cross. He would tip his Brodie to the man and go back to listening in to the conversation Saigō and Udo Hoppenstedt were having

Saigō would look at the chip the man had given him and hand it off to the man to his right, Johnston. "go do me a favour and run that to the Lancaster and upload its data please." Johnston would sharply nod and hurry out of the room with the chip in hand "Well Generalleutnant Udo Hoppenstedt it has been a pleasure and unless you need anything more from us, we shall be on our way"

the soldier takes the vicoria cross and inspects it in his hand, then slips it into his pocket, nodding back..
Hoppenstedt nods and stands up.
"Shall ve refuel your Lancaster before you leave?"
The soldiers also get up and grab their stuff.
"Ve will hopefully be able to meet sometime again in zhe future, I hope."

HMS-Hood

boombox
"no, that's fine, she should have plenty of fuel for the trip back"
the crewmen from the Lancaster would stand and collect their things as well
Saigō would extend his hand to shake as he stood up from his seat "until we cross paths again."

and soon enough.. a nightwing appeared there with blue glow. then another one long behind it, it had no status light and was also vaguely..different?

Hoppenstedt shakes his hand and nods.
"Good luck to you."
Then he turns and calls a few soldiers to return to his duties.

Before them lay a fairly astounding sight: An old, formerly abandoned fortress world, with inactive cannons breaching the atmosphere with their barrels. Towards this fortress world a constant stream of mostly civilian vessels is headed from a portal in orbit of the planet, guarded by a rather strong defense fleet setting up a perimeter. Said fleet hails the incoming ships:
//Transmission: GSR Code//
"Guten Morgen and velcome to zhe fortress world of Unterberg V. Ve have been expecting you, Akyratés."
