"We found some intresting black goo looking thing... It has the capabilty of genetic mutations... And sone intresting leathers of very exotic creatures.... But we would love to know if you have any fast regeneration medical supplise?"

Does this material have any other notable traits?
And yes, we are in possession of such supplies, for what purpose and in what quantity do you need them?
/Transmission End/

zergRush99

Drakador_Chaos "Well it mostly likes to observe other genetic stracture, but sometimes it can make the host extrimly hard to kill... And about the medical supplise, we need them for a greate hunt we will have soon, so we will have few deaths".

Drakador_Chaos

We are not interested in purchasing this material, however, we do have the supplies you asked for.
Nanoweave bandages that seal the wound and accelerate the healing process.
Hemostasis medicine, which can quickly close wounds if applied in time.
Other than that there would be cryostasis bags, in varying sizes, if you have any severly wounded individuals you can put them into cryostasis by putting them in and sealing it which should conserve them for later treatment.
Now we just need to discuss the needed quantities.
However, beforehand I need to ask you, are you currently at war with any factions?

As the ships arrive at the area where the system of the TATC Headquarters should be, all that they find is large blackened sphere the size of the former system, swallowing all light that tried to pass through...
No sensor data returned from the area either as if reality had a blind spot...

Drakador_Chaos ships begin attempting to back away, with the frigate in a panic of this random black hole looking thing and shooting its railgun at it

Drakador_Chaos

gearshift48
The ships backed away without any interference, as the shot from the railgun was fired the slug hit the orb of blackness unobstructed and...
...nothing happened, the slug vanished without any trace or indicator that it had even hit the sphere.

Out of nowhere, several TATC secure communications channels sever, there are a few seconds of silence and blackness, then the channels crackle back into life, a static image all that is displayed on visual, there is silence again for a few more seconds...

Atma was sitting in his office, Doran by his side...
A: "So, what doy you think Doran?"
...there was a short pause...
D: "A difficult situation, according to our politics and rules we require to refrain from any interference. However, there was an occassion in the past where our 'guest' took interest in them."
Atma hummed, apparently thinking...
A: "Hmm... Yes, however, any of her interferences come with a cost and potential consequences..."
D: "I am aware, I did not forget what happened in AR-9J-K7. So what would you suggest? There is still the possibility of sending it to the Children."
A:"Indeed... We shall do that and see how they react, then we can still think about wether we want to involve Anastreay, if she hasn´t already decided to act one her own behalves.

...about an hour after the initial transmission was sent,it was relayed towards the Ever Children, to see what they would say about it...

Tson

Drakador_Chaos
A few hours after the message is relayed, a reply is sent, a blond male in a toga with silvery eyes is seen on visual, he looks at the visual down his nose, as if addressing something unpleasent.
---Transdimensional Antimatter Trading Company, I do not know why you have contacted us, but we no longer have any connection to the elder mainframes, what becomes of them we do not wish to know. Please do not contact us again unless you have something intelligent to say.---
The transmission is cut.

Drakador_Chaos

Tson
Atma frowns at the transmission, Doran had long returned to his other duties by this time...
He decided that this matter was none of his concern anymore and relayed the transmission to an unknown point beyond the known universe...
A few hours later another transmission was sent to the Ever Children, this time it was the face of the woman which had created 'Piero' on it, while her expression was completely neutral, almost dead, her voice seemed as sharp as a stasis-blade...
/Transmission Start/
"I´m uncertain, who or what do think you are, as you do not seem to be an important enough figure that I´d remember you, however, what I am certain about is that Piero and the first knight Pieron would likely be rather interested in hearing that the saviours of the Children have been treated with unprovoked disrespect by one of their underlings."
/Transmission End/
...the transmission closed normally as if it´d be just like any other transmission from the TATC, a few hours later the tracking process of the initial signal by Ceta started, a large black shadow lurking amongst the stars, waiting for the results...

Tson

Drakador_Chaos
There is no reply from the Ever Children, however the signal can be easily tracked, it seems to emanate from a sector of old Solaric Space, that which the STC have set up a branch office in...

Drakador_Chaos

After the black orb which encompassed the former headquarters disappeared, the trading and broadcast channels the TATC formerly used went silent, oddly enough however the frequencies they used remained occupied, apparently still registered under the name of the TATC. It had already been quite apparent that something was off, given the state of the Headquarters and the constantly declining amount of external trades, but for them to simply disappear... was, even for them, certainly odd.

Drakador_Chaos

gearshift48
As the corvette arrived it found... nothing.
Nothing but empty space that is, the place where the TATC Headquarters once stood, was empty.
Not even a cloud of gas or piece of debris were in the area, the only thing interrupting the almost perfect silence was the natural background radiation, so far out, not even the stars were shining, only the glow of the galaxy far behind the ship...

Drakador_Chaos

After an uncertain amount of time after the TATC headquarters had left their territories behind and an even longer time since they halted all trades, age-old communication beacons started to spring to life again, near faction territores, some of which had expanded past the comm arrays, at most notable way and landmarks in the galaxy and even in the void amidst the stars, the machines started receiving data only they could hear and in return re-activated their former protocols...
Why though? Nobody knows, in fact most factions wouldn´t even notice the presence of said beacons, as they stood in perfect silence amongst the stars, not appearing on any of the lower grade factions scanners and even on higher ups, only as a small blind spot on the scanners...
Something seems to have peeked the Kins interest...
But what? ...and why?
What were they planning...?
Likely, only time will tell.

@Drakador_Chaos
In the blackness shapes come into being in an instant, appearing out of nothingness, an oddly assorted fleet, small in size, and dissonant in colour schemes and design styles, two distinct sets of values playing off against each other.

A general frequency short range text signal is sent from the largest crescent shaped ship, then the fleet simply hangs in space, waiting for contact from person, or persons unknown.

---3rd combined Solaric scout fleet in position and awaiting converse. Please respond.---

Drakador_Chaos

Tson
There was silence for long time, then highly advanced scan ran over the fleet.
A few moments later, a large blind spot on the sensors appeared around 20 kilometres in length...
Once more there was silence before a transmission reached them, the voice in it was female.
/Transmission Start/
"You have come, that is beneficial. I have read about you in Atmas reports, the Solaric Empire and the Ever Legion. A curious combination. My name is Anastreay Lyndve Haedenval, I have called you here to today to discuss about what this galaxy refers to as 'Deltas'."

dodo_bear
The closest star to the former TATC headquarters was more 10.000 lightyears away from the former system, as it was quite far out to begin with, there was nothing of particular interest in the system, a yellow main sequence star and a few barren planets...
