The ships move slowly but surely.
(got to go now.. i'll reply inda morning.)

Sombreroman

FangTheCat Before them, the massive Station contacts them. Although a newer operator, the Young man quickly sends a transmission towards the damaged fleet;

//Receiving Transmission//

"Uh... Greetings, friends. We're operating under B.L.A.D.E.; considering our alliance and... Uh... Your ship's conditions, we can offer you free r-repairs... We also have extra services should you desire any..."

Although nervous, it's clear the young man is being genuine; although he's wearing an older uniform, it still has a modern, legal B.L.A.D.E. Identification Number: 2,347,661. In the meantime, he signals his superior to get ready for a... Complicated repair job.

The Fleet Replies..
/TransmissionStart/
"Thank you.. But we will pay in full... We may stay awhile, if thats okay... You may only be able to replace the armor and the Thrusters.. 82's Core is Currently Overheating... may not be able to be fixed until we reach our own stations.."
/TransmissionEnd/
The ships slowly dock.. Their docking ports don't match that of the stations, until they appear to turn to liquid metal, soon matching the older technology..

Sombreroman

FangTheCat The crews of the station would stare in amazement as the first ship docks for repairs. While the ship is docked, the crew of the ship is free to check about the station, although they would have to go through a Decontamination Airlock First. In the meantime, several Humans wearing... Very old Space Suits with thruster packs would pass by carrying replacement parts; When closely observed, there are many different types of flags on each of the suit's shoulders, from a Red-Lined Flag with an Irregular Leaf in the middle, to a patch of Blue filled with stars, paired with several stripes of white and red...

The Crew would exit, A Machine which appears designed for combat, A Cattus-Sicut, and a Gelatinous being with a hard skeletal endoskeleton which is visible through the transparent from of the creature.. ALl but the machine wheres space-suits, Which appear to made out of a light metal.

The Creature nods.. While the other two begin conversation with the passing crew via .. the machine appears to have a hard time..
"So.. this station.. or at least those uniforms.. are those from Old-Earth?"
The other two stare at the Cattus-Sicut in confusion...

The machine would step forward, it appears to be translating itself for the crew.
"Type III. Number B-1739.
Pleasure to meet."

The Three would begin towards the decontamination Airlock..

Sombreroman

FangTheCat The Crew would wave hello in a friendly gesture, although their suits are too thick for them to speak compatibly. When the crew goes into the Decontamination airlock, the air would even out and get cleaned via some unknown, presumably ancient system. After this is finished, the Entrance opens with several more repair workers passing by with fuel and armoured parts. Sure enough, however, you're free to investigate most of the station without incident. It is their decision on where they would like to go.

FangTheCat

Sombreroman
The Three move around, looking in every direction..
"Nice place they got here.. Nice place.."
The machine would simply be scanning things, as the Gelatinous creature changes its transparency, looking more of a form of liquid metal.. it changes repeatedly..

Sombreroman

FangTheCat As they pass through the Station, they see Medical Bays, Generators, Research Stations, Hotel Rooms, another Set of Generators, some rooms where the parts are coming from, and some unknown rooms up ahead. There is at least one armed guard protected one side in-between. There is also the option to check out some of the other lanes.

FangTheCat

Sombreroman
They slowly approach the guard, and the gelatinous creature creating several sounds, as if speech, sounding as if the bone-like plates inside were scraping together.. The creature moves its arms close together, as if trying to say that something is small..
"He.. wants to know if this place happens to have any little trinkets or souvenirs..."

The machine would speak rough, Broken English, as if it had slight trouble..
".. I want to know what ..you guarding.."

Sombreroman

FangTheCat The Guard is visibly worried, but keeps his composure.

"Greetings. I am currently guarding this Research Facility. We're currently researching an... Interesting specimen, but even as a guard I wouldn't go inside to look at the thing... Of course, you still have the option to. Oh, and yeah, we do have a gift shop; go to the very end of the station and Right to the Cafeteria. They sell more than food, although they can whip up just about anything..."

Although not obvious, his eyes would look to the side into the Researching Facility, unnerved at what's going on inside. Whatever's in there sounds... Almost Human in its breathing. You also hear a slapping sound and a Man saying something about speakers.

FangTheCat

Sombreroman
The Cattus Sicut glances in the direction, as he speaks in a language that the Gelatinous creature understands..
The Creature's Gel-like body would become whiter as it claps together its hand-like appendages.. And would hardly notice the research..
"...He wants me to go with em.."
The Cattus Sicut would take out of his pocket several silver coin-like objects, Along with three golden ones..

The two walk towards the directions given.. as the machine turns..
Updating...
Update complete..
"It appears that your currency and ours do not match perfectly, but much closer than before, due to our currency's inflation.. If permitted, I will investigate the Research Facility... my sensors are becoming disturbed..
A loud crack would be heard as one of the small lenses breaks, staying in place but appearing useless..*
"There goes my heat signatures readings.."

Sombreroman

FangTheCat The Man at the Cafeteria's register would raise an Eyebrow and exchange the money, according to a recently-issued guide. After returning the change, he would stroke his beard in confusion.

"Hmm... Alright then. I guess you could check the experiment out, considering how we still owe ya for the Sarkany Event... In the meantime, what'd you like as a gift? I could also make some of your native food, should you have a chemical recipe."

He'd hand the Slimy Organism a Brochure for some traditional items available for purchase without any custom fees; they would include an Old-Earth Guidebook titled "The Wonders of our past!", as well as a Strange Viewing device for an old Video Service from old Earth... As well as some other interesting, Modern Items, such as a guide to a far-lying B.L.A.D.E. resort planet; one eye-catching thing about it is the fact that a giant Moth-Like Organism appears on its cover, White with Blue eyes.

FangTheCat

Sombreroman
(The machine Is seperated from the other two, The two are at the cafeteria, soon to head towards the gift shop)
"Now I wonder what sort of nick-knacks this place got.. As for food.. um.."
The Gelatinous being would stare at the brochure , Which rests perfectly on its surface.. it speaks again..
"No.. thats.. not.." He would speak quickly.. and the gelatinous blob would appear to nod.
"He will.. Try anything.."
The Brochure slowly begins forming into the creature, as the cattus-sicut quickly removes it from the creature, leaving no residue on the brochure..
"He.. and most of their kind.. are capable of ingesting.. nearly anything.. So.. um..Your choice..."

Meanwhile, At the Research Facility.
"I suppose they will see what it is they want to buy.. As I don't currently have loaded an Additional program required for opinionated decision making.."
"Then I will continue. First I must prepare my Artificial Intelligence for a potentially stressful situation."
Three vents on the machine's back open up, a low amount of steam exits as he moves slowly and quietly into the Facility, attempting to find the source of the breathing..

Sombreroman

FangTheCat The Guard the Machine met earlier would look startled, as he happened to be right in front of him without noticing. He doesn't even attempt to make contact; he just opens the door upon their return. Upon walking inside of the Research Facility, a Strange creature is seen behind a shielding of metallic Glass; Green, Glowing, and Reptilian… After a couple of seconds, it breaths... Exactly like a human would. It looks up at the machine, and laughs in spite...

???: "So, Doc, I guess this is for the Termination?"

A Speaker would turn on to reply in its cell.

Scientist: "No, this is just a visitor. Now enough with the dumb nickname; why did you come here?"

???: "I'd prefer to not talk to an inferior being like yourself, Doc. I'm getting tired of this inconvenience."

The Scientist in charge of the apparent Interrogation would slam his fists near the speaker before replying angrily to the Specimen...

Scientist: "Inconvenience?! You killed several guards with your teeth while trying to steal information from our data stores!"

In the meantime, several assistant Researchers look at the Machine in a strange, disturbed awe at it's design. The rest of them are... At least trying to study the subject in the cell.

FangTheCat

Sombreroman
The machine would go through a quick scan of its surroundings, Its hard metal plates seem to merge to liquid, Reforming more intimidating armor, taking upon a similar color to before..
"Perhaps I could be of assistance, I am capable of performing interrogation, Although I advise that the Remna Form of it involves less.. Humane ways."

He stares at the creature.
"Any Biological organism low as murder is an Inferior Being compared to a human. let alone a being such as an Ekeri."
The machine's movements have become less artificial, now the machine seems to be matching normal biological behaviors..

Sombreroman

FangTheCat The Assistant Researchers would shrug. After a while of quiet, the Metallic Glass would open. The Creature would look up slowly at the (Ex?-) Machine...

???: "Do your Worse..."

Upon closer inspection, the creature is actually wearing armour; through the visor of the creature's helmet, you can see... Human eyes. The similarities to a human are astonishingly disturbing...

FangTheCat

Sombreroman
The machine turns, the liquid metal freezes, as the machine's claw reaches forward to touch to armor, which itself starts to dissolve..
"What Are you? "

The machine's eye flashes, Its voice sounding slightly more biological.. the liquid armor has moves off of the back of the machine, the scientists visibly see three Remna Cores, lines up, connected to the machine's internals, which appear to be made up of a similar material as the armor.. There appears to be few wires, but rather small open spaces, where energy arcs across nearly constantly.

"And why would you have mangled guards of this place. Let alone with your teeth."

Sombreroman

FangTheCat Several Scientists look disturbed as it happens, due to their uncertainty of the Creature being able to survive; obviously it does. The Creature bears its teeth from the armour dissolving... Revealing a...

Scientist: "My god..."

… Zenioth-like face. Upon seeing this, the Machine is struck with a short vision, from what seems to be many different views. Firstly, it recalls the Medal ceremony after the Sarkany event... But the Zenioth Leader, King Zaran, covered in blood and enveloped in Blue Energy, as well as the C.E.O. as an almost Demonic, black figure.

After this, it sees the Creature's attempt to obtain a secret B.L.A.D.E. document, but each of the Guards as Black, Smoke-like entities, with glowing, red visors. Ending the Vison is a Plant-like cybernetic organism, being used as a mainframe. Upon seeing where it's located, several strange ships and buildings can be seen, in the same Black with Green that the Creature was wearing.

Upon the end of the Vision, the Creature had been shot around an inch from the heart by a plasma pistol, perhaps due to terrified frustration from the Scientist after the machine seemed to shut down for what felt like five minutes; a small chip connected to the helmet also detonated.

???: "So... That enough for you?"

The Scientist would show visible relief after the machine Re-Activated, holding an unidentifiable weapon, perhaps a Prototype Plasma pistol.

FangTheCat

Sombreroman
Lost Fragments Located.. Repairing Data..
"My Tertiary operating system was online.. Doctor.. recorded some of my 'Thoughts' along with my body's reactions to this shutdown."
The machine's black paint would turn white with golden accents.
The machine's Monoeye has been replaced with three smaller eyes.. each one staring at the creature..
"There is some abnormal signatures and happenings in my.. memory... If your computer is capable of it, I would recommend taking a look.. All I need to know is the computer's location."

It turns, the liquid metal appears.. even more like liquid, drooping slightly as it moves into place..
"I require further research.."

Sombreroman

FangTheCat FangTheCat The Scientist would Nod to the Machine.

Scientist: "Right this way, Sir."

Upon analyzing the Recordings, the Scientist is left confused, yet disturbed. Upon further Decryption of the footage, the Scientist finds blueprints for the device that triggered the Vision; a Small Implant made to carry an informational "Payload". After being given to a machine or creature, it detonates immediately to conceal the source of its delivery into a viable courier.

Further reading decrypts the Message further... Into a simplified interpretation, as follows:

Creator,Leader=Demon
Hybrid=Exception
Us=Slave,Pawn

The Scientist would stare confused; he didn't have much reasoning to believe the message, considering the lies the Creature has already told... Even less does he understand who the "Hybrid" is in the message... Until he looks back at the Creature's face.

Scientist: "...Wait..."

He'd scrounge around through some of his older documents in the search of answers, until finding an older Sheet:

Strange Creature Sighted; E.T.A. approximately 10 Minutes after King Zaran's death by Corruption. Golden, Similar in appearance to a Spectra. Origins unknown, but potentially related to Zaran's demise; further study required. First located behind Drake Latowe's Twincruiser and Paladin No.(Redacted) in sensor review.

Update 1: Creature of Similar appearance now representing the Spectra in the B.L.A.D.E. council, in the service of the Queen. Unknown Rationale behind Creature's actions; further Study has been requested but denied by B.L.A.D.E. council.

The Scientist would look dumbfounded, trying to comprehend how any of this could make sense... He would then begin trying to Conspiracy-Web the information together; by the end of his investigation, his new findings are simple; Domini Naturae's recent Non-Agression against B.L.A.D.E. is not a coincidence, and must be somehow related to the Spectra; the Unknown Spectra also disappeared for a short time in Blood Cult Territory during a Civil War within it; something Terribili would have likely observed. After piecing this together, the scientist panics.

A Nearby Assistant Researcher would suddenly pull the Scientist's weapon out of his pocket, and point it at him. However, before he could fire, the Creature that was being contained would burst into the room and attack the researcher until being shot again... In the Head. He'd keep on fighting until he claws the Assistant down. After the fight, he collapses unto the ground, bleeding.

???: "Go... He knows too much to die now..."

He then picks up the Scientist's weapon and fires at the Computer connected to the Machine, disconnecting it. His eyes then close; a vital scan would confirm his death. One thing now seems obvious; you now both know something a secret cell within B.L.A.D.E. doesn't want you to know.
