//Alert from Flagship Apollo//
Nova Unit speaking. We've received threats from an unknown faction, who have currently sent us two warnings. We've kept the first one, which is written below.

"Peace lasts only a time. You are problematic with the mission he gave us. You are nothing more than problems for us. Do not annoy us and you will not be the first, this galaxy must disappear, such is the mission it has given us. Your armies and your technologies are nothing for us. This is not a new era, it is the end. Call us whatever you want, but that will not change anything. If we lose today, we will try again tomorrow ... You can not face the end. You are not the first but you will not be the last . We are his envoys, and you can not do anything about it, peacekeeper."

We're consulting with you for we are worried that a war might stir. We've also sent a message, trying to negotiate. Any knowledge of who this might be?
//Alert End//

//Transmition to Flagship Apollo//
We dont hold any knowlodge of the faction, but we have 2 theorys:
(Another) An Chaos related faction/entity or the members of an new faction from the -1 dimension know only as the Divine Darkness (https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/3938-divine-anti-faction-the-darkness/1) who our spy corps detected as a possible threat to stability of this universe. If they keep their threats, warn us and we can defeat this enemy

Regards!

I'm Senator Hela from the Earth Federation.

As you already know, our 2 nations (Factions) are very close to each other.

And this is a good thing, since our leader thinks it would be good to be allies.

The benefits of this union would allow us to increase our economy and presence in the galaxy, as well as maintain order and security, so that our citizens prosper.

If you decide to accept, we could agree on the terms, and all the paperwork, etc.

I hope you think about our proposal. With all this said, I say goodbye.

Jesus3747 The strange ship reorients to face the planet.

DarkPearl

Solarwatch The drones placed near it to study it power up weapons and moves towards it. The station at orbit hails it.

Solarwatch

DarkPearl The foreign ship remains silent, but a faint electronic signal appears from within the ship.

Tickytickytango

DarkPearl
Despite getting closer to the source, the signal gets weaker, implying that it is running out of power.
There are no other ships nearby the station, no hostiles present themselves.

DarkPearl

Tickytickytango The Hunters hail the station, but no response is given. They launch auxiliary crafts to board the station.

DarkPearl

Solarwatch The station sends a distress signal for the nearby starbase. 2 ships leave HS and go between the Foreign and the planet and charge weapons

DarkPearl An small drone using 3 lmg's

thats not fast enough

Tickytickytango

DarkPearl
The distress beacon dies completely.
The boarding party immediately notice a complete lack of people.
No hostiles present themselves and there are no dead bodies to be found.
Life support seems to be on its last legs, but is still functional.

Solarwatch

DarkPearl The foreign remains where it is, no weapons are detected, and it remains silent.

As if the situation in the established Zankaran space wasn't chaotic enough, now another rift-space anomaly was discovered. Long-range scans indicate ships that resemble the design of Explorer-Class Dimensional Collective ships, although their paint is... different.

They seem to be malfunctioning somehow, and they look somewhat damaged.

DarkPearl

RandomCommander The few ships left are send:

The words pass to the poli-morphic (something like that) translator, but no pattern is found, as the ships continue to stand still, the captain, the first-officer and the senior staff debates aroud what to do:
Captain: Should we collect a drone for study?
F-O: Captain, this is not the M.O. of the collective, something must be wrong. Its logical to assume that our best move is to watch them, the Explorer Class dont hold much weaponary.
Chief engineer: Captain, if we could bring a drone aboard, we could do studys and maybe find whats wrong
Security chief: Captain i dont recommend risk the security of the ship to "study" a ship that can become hostile anytime, i sugest destroy them!.
F-O: We should not destroy peace because of our ship, the Collective can retaliate.
Security chief: What we shouldn't do is risk this ship and the planet beneath us!
F-O: The needs of the many outwheight the needs of the few, but the decision comes to the Captain.

All of them look at him.

Captain: Lets bring one on board but do any security mesure that you deem needed. Lets go!

They begin to extract a drone.
