Melkor, The Elder King (2)

A red light continues to blink on the capsule, awaiting contact of the rulers of this area.

It seems that the capsule got picked up a couple days earlier, but it never reached the Dark Lord...

"What's that blinking thing you got there, Dush?"

"A message capsuleI! Found it nine days ago drifting near our ships, I love its red blinking."

"So, you didn't bring it to the boss?"

"Nope, its mine. You wouldn't dare to take it away from me, Tarz?"

"Euh... I think we should open it, in case it contains valuable information..."

"Alright, but only if you get me a barral of grog."

Tarz could no longer control his curiosity...

"Alright, open the damn capsule and I'll get you your grog!"

Dush slowly opens the capsule...

The red blinking stopped.

A hologram began to open, you see a woman in black uniform.

“Greetings, Melkor...

We recently took out place in this interesting Galaxy, and are in process to capture any extraordinairy being out here.

But, only the ones who only seek out destruction.

We have a way to temporarely disable extra ordinairy abilities, we like you to know that.

So, tell me why you are here, and what you want to accomplish, and send the capsule back.”

You saw a strange green cube in the background, glowing... With cells with beings behind it, one of them appear to be Inmera, but you also see one with a boy, brown hair... Looking like Nil?...

"Oh shrakh, this aint good."

"What?"

"I remember the kid, saw him with the boss a few times, we need to get him this message now!"

"But why is this a problem, the boss can handle anything!"

"Dush, you fool! If they get the boss we're obsolete. You may not be old enough, but I remember what Mordor was without a Dark Lord."

"What do you mean?"

"Imagine following Gash's orders all day long. No breaks, almost no grog"

Some determination seemed to sparkle in Dush's eyes.

"I'll go get an afterburner, you keep the capsule safe!"

The capsule began to blink again, first a blink was every minit, but then the time between blinks began to be closer to one another...

Alpha While Melkor's fleet was going about, with the capsule and all, massive space-time distortions are detected, five AU away from you, below your fleet.

Namek
During an FTL-travel...

"Are we there yet?"

"No, but only more two minutes. Why did Ogbur need to go with the Monarch? The other engineers are shrakh at fixing things."

"The only good thing they've done is installing the sprinklers to extinguish fire, were it not they first used grog inside it..."

Alpha Does the great king Melkor need a bounty hunter?

Because I’m your guy.

the_guy545 (Melkor isn't here, but hanging around at GSR, where he will be leaving soon. If you would like to contact him, your best shot is attempting communication with the orcs that are fixing the broken FTL on their ships near their homebase.)

Alpha And where could I find them?

RedAndCosmoteer (... I have totally forgotten about that. I thought I answered everything yesterday... Thanks for the reminder!)

"Gund, what the shrakh is going on there?"

"No idea Lorm, what do you think we should do?"

"Let's wait it out, see what happens. I'm not risking an ambush while our FTL-systems are still dead."

Alpha ( Let's see how they react to something I'm bringing back from the dead... )

Suddenly, after fifteen seconds, the massive space-time distortions stop. Nothing is seen, because it's so far that it will take forty five minutes for the light to reach you.

Then, after forty five minutes, you detect a large ship appear, on the scale of the late Vengeance probably. It seems to use Fusion drives and Ion engines, and it has a lance cannon that you don't want to see the business end of.

Your sensors detect that it's already a quarter of an astronomical unit away from where it first appeared, it's fusion drives must be extremely fast, and from what you can see, the exhaust plume stretches out thousands of kilometers. What will you do?

( Who remembers my ancient voidship from back in November? )

Alpha Captain 'Gills', as he was known by the crew of his Voidship, sat down... in water. He couldn't breathe air... He looked straight into the vast expanse of the void. It was a beautiful sight.

Suddenly, his neural interface would interrupt him, with alerts such as TRANSMISSION DETECTED... He sighed, 'When will I ever get rest...' and he would respond to the transmission.

{ Transmission - BEAMCOMS }
"Greetings, I'm Captain 'Gills' of the Voidship EX-01. We're here on a mission of exploration..."

and he silently added, 'and to get back home...'

Wait a sec... you sound like a couple pinkskins we have on board. Time travelers?

Alpha you sound like a couple pinkskins we have on board.

(It's grayskins, those Eontenvians. I have no idea how that works but it just does, according to the plot.)

{ Transmission - BEAMCOMS }
"No... Yes... Maybe... It depends on your definition of Time Travel. If time dilation counts then yes, we are. And home is not in the past, but rather, in a galaxy far far away... "

There was slight 'noise' or crackling, links of beam comms like this aren't very stable over distances like this.

Hmmm, perhaps you should come somewhat closer, so we can check if they belong with your people.

You see a literal fish in water, with FIVE legs. You can only assume the Captain's expression is dead serious when he says, " Do these 'gray-skins' look like the standard hu...man...oid...? "
