RedAndCosmoteer (you shut! Our protocols are super safe, and we totally won't collapse under the weight of out own bureaucracy XD)

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav (~~ROFL. Is your bureaucracy really big? If so, it's only holding on because of it's sheer weight XD~~)

Fort_Master_Gustav

RedAndCosmoteer (well, I mean, look at the lore, the Bureau itself is gigantic, auto-expanding and highly echelonized, it was semi-based on Ingsoc from George Orwell's 1984, and the only reason I can see for it to collapse under such a rigid structure is into itself as in a Roman Empire fashion, so yeah, a big boi faction that is kinda brainless because of its size :p)

Fort_Master_Gustav The scruffy man says "Hey, this wasn't apart of the deal!" The taller man flips him a coin and says "Well then, I will have to find my own way back." The scruffy man runs off, presumably back to his ship. "Alright, now that he's gone, I have one complaint: the fact we are being recorded. This is a personal matter for me and it would be very bad for my health if this got out in public. Who are you anyway?"

Amazing_Goob (Dave stands there, twidling his thumbs on top of the table, suddenly he moves his hand behind his ear and says something on a low voice, then he takes a deep breath and talks)

Dave: Well then, I hate to break protocol and someone will probably get mad, but now the conversation is not being recorded anymore, hah, good thinking by taking advantage of the Burean's curiosity... Anyways, I'm Dave Oliva, this station's Lead Military Researcher, it may not look like it but this is a Ballistics Testing laboratory, and I'd say I'm qualified to talk about things that concern research, now your turn Mr.Cox, why would you come here for a "personal matter"?

CRCKI Transmission: We, based on basic research, have concluded you are hunting for knowledge. It would be advantageous to us both if we were to ally ourselves with each other.

[EXPUNGED]

Your conclusion is indeed truthful, but to form an alliance you must bring a diplomatic convoy to this nation, a meeting with the BOARD OF DIPLOMACY has been scheduled, indentify yourself at any of the many ARMED STATIONS of THE BUREAU and your diplomats will be directed to meet the BOARD.

I'm not completely sure what this is, but it is quite fun looking.

Fort_Master_Gustav

Narhumo (It's forum roleplay, a a lot of talking, it's cool XD)

Amazing_Goob

Fort_Master_Gustav "Well, before I continue, I must inform you that this 'personal matter' is less scientific and more... How do you say it?... Arcane."

CRCKI Transmission: Understood.

You see a ship with what looks like two backwards wings on it. None of it's weapons are activated, and it hails you:

This is a CRCKI Ship. We are the leadership, Data Monks. We are here to be directed to your Board.

ARMED STATION [REDACTED]

Upon detection, two M-2 Combat Ship-H B-C (check the first post, for some reason I can't send the file here :/) approach the CRCKI ship:

[SHIP AZZ-332]:Don't worry, this is standard protocol, we are just going to conduct you to the nearest armed station for revision, then you'll be on your way to whatever business you have here.

They conduct the CRCKI for some while, until a station of great size is reached, the CRCKI ship is instructed to dock at the docking port, where armed guards await, the message received by the CRCKI ship reads as follows:

[ARMED STATION [REDACTED]]:Don't be alarmed by the guards, it is advised that all the crew that intends to meet the board disembark for inspection, the rest of the crew may remain inside the vessel.

CRCKI Transmission: Arcane? Some wreckage we found in an abandoned system used a type a technology referred to in the terminal as 'Arcane'.

Fort_Master_Gustav

Amazing_Goob As soon as Dave hears the word "Arcane" he smiles a semi-arrogant smirk, and lets out a small laughter:
Dave: hah! Arcane, sure, you wouldn't know the ammount of times we've found this "Arcane" to be extremely "Mundane", such is the drive of the Bureau, we've deconstructed-- uhm, I really shouldn't tell you that, but anyways, don't worry, we deal with, lets say, all facets of reality, be it sprinkled a bit with superstitious arcanism or highly mundane chaos, your personal matter is for sure safe with us, as all information is safe-kept within the system, well it would be if this was being recorded, as it isn't you don't have the slightest to worry, now lay it on me Mr.Cox, what is it of the Arcane that bothers you?

Fort_Master_Gustav

Mojowuq9 (you don't really know that that conversation is going on mojo, that's not how you connect the points dude XD)

Amazing_Goob

Fort_Master_Gustav He looks a little taken aback at this, but continues. "I have a terrible affliction; an ancient curse, some might call it. It originated on Old Earth and has been long forgotten by most, or treated as fantasy by the rest. It is uncontrollable and anyone who has tried to explain it to others in this scientific age are said to have a specific type of insanity. And most do; but not me. If you are so knowledgeable on such magical matters, then guess what I have for the Bureau, what I wish to rid myself of."

(One...thing walks out of the airlock. It has an uncountable number of thin legs, and large, thick arms that end in a hand with ten fingers, all with several joints. It has a permanent smile on it's face, and a single eye that is large and is negative, with a white pupil. It's body is curved. Tongues continuously fall out of it's mouth, only to be drawn back within. It is wearing a robe that has a metal shine to it. It's hair cascades down it's shoulders, nearly reaching the floor. It is teal. When it speaks, it mouth doesn't move, but you can hear it's words as if they are thoughts.)
"Greetings. I am Data Monk Sarah. You need not be afraid of my appearance." She tilts her head. "Is my appearance unsettling?"

ARMED STATION [REDACTED]

Some of the guards back up a bit in repulsion, although they may be trained soldiers, they aren't used to receiving many alien races, but still they keep their composure, one man steps foward, he is different from the rest, with a metal hand and sporting a different coloured uniform, he speaks:

[JULIAN]:Greetings, I am Julian, the commander of this armed station, your appearence is indeed unsettling to the unexperienced eye, but that's beyond the matter at hand, follow me, I shall lead you to the teleportation chamber.
