From the Nemesis, com devices start speaking a single message, from the voice of the Admiral: “ Greeting, fellow space faring civilizations. We are here to trade. We would like a single editor, for our own research. Whichever side gives us this, our Navy shall attack the opposing side."

We are ready to bargain.

So I'm really sorry for the delay on this, but I just ran into MASSIVE amounts of writer's block concerning where this event was supposed to go. To that end, I'm just gonna wrap the entity part of this up preemptively. Overall, I think we as a RP group have passed the age of gods and entities, and Contemplator just doesn't really fit into the greater story of the galaxy anymore without me godmodding something awful.

I've done some messed up shit, but that's one thing I try to stay well away from. Therefore...

Without further response, the Hedron turns and vanishes back into the rift, dragging the Lost Fleet with it as the rift seals behind the fleet, leaving drifting wreckage and stunned observers....and the blasted remains of one Old Imperial dataship.

...rather than waiting to find out what that thing actually was the group threw several thermal detonators around the room, though rather than directly at whatever moved there, they threw it at random positions around the room and then went into cover, their weapons ready, the metallic masks they wore turning to nightvision while they observed the darkness...

...in the meanwhile far in the distance to the battle cogs had begun moving after the departure of the grey ships, what the consequences of these might be will likely be revealed soon...

LeftHandofGod A ship arrives within minutes, having been slingshotted across the galaxy. As it solidifies within this reality, it begins to scan for any fighters and cargo freighters.

...a few minutes after the ships had left, a quite large Ascendnat Dawn fleet entered the area through several hyperspace rifts, which had apparently been prepared while the battle was still raging...
Now faced with the emptyness and the other present fleets, the Dawn fleet stood there idly for a while, scanning the area, eventually detecting the dataship...
In response to this a message was broadcasted to all present fleets...
/Broadcast Start/
"All present fleets stand back from the data ship, this is High Imperium property, any approach to the proximity of the vessel will be considered a hostile action!"
/Broadcast End/
...the present AD fleet had almost three fourths the size of the Imperium fleet that just vanished so abruptly, amongst several Jericho, Storm and Prophet class dreadnoughts, a large amount of cruisers and countless smaller craft, two extremely bulky and heavy looking ships stood at the far end of the fleet, about the size of dreadnought, their entire front covered by a broad metallic shield...

The large gravitational Anomaly remains, but appears to have stopped its pull on the fleets, despite a visible distortion of light in the area it resides..

---Thisz is CETA, Any attempt to retreive the dataship will be crushed, the dataship has been evaluated as threat level 8, and must be destroyed, move your ships from the immediate vicinity or face collateral damage.---

RedAndCosmoteer

LeftHandofGod but I just ran into MASSIVE amounts of writer's block concerning where this event was supposed to go.

It was supposed to go this way:

Alternate Imperium invades forumverse

but whatever this is fine too

...after a while a transmission returned from the AD fleet, the man speaking was...astoundingly calm...
/Transmission Start/
"So what you´re saying is that you´d destroy any force that would attempt to grab the data from this ship? Am I correct?"
/Transmission End/
...the fleet stood there idly as it was already a decent distance away from the field to begin with...

RedAndCosmoteer

Mojowuq9 CRCKI likes christ?

wow

Mojowuq9

RedAndCosmoteer He's a nice dude, according to the Bible. Remember that the CRCKI is a bit childish in their beliefs.

Transmission:

"Please place your representative in a shuttle and have the shuttle travel to the exact mid point between our 2 flagships. We shall do the same. Your shuttle may be armed, but it may not be an assault shuttle."

A shuttle detaches from the nemesis, and travels toward the meeting point.

Mojowuq9

Cosmicdestroyer A small shuttle is Graviton-flinged into the area, at the midpoint. We sent Data Monk Sarah.

As soon as the 2 shuttles are within range, an audio- only transmission is sent.

"Do you have any technology that can change the the molecular structure of a given element?"

Mojowuq9

Cosmicdestroyer No, we do not.

(Something about this seems... off... 🤔)

...as the transmission from the dataship went outwards a few moments later another transmission was sent from the AD fleet towards the EL...
/Transmission Start/
"Well it appears some of the information has escaped and then been intercepted by these "Bloodmonger" ships over there, what will you do next?"
/Transmission End/
...whoever spoke seemed to be somewhat amused about that fact, though despite his attitude several of the mid-sized ships activated their weapon systems and started changing their spinal axis, now pointing towards the Bloodmonger ships...
Then another transmission went out...
/Transmission Start/
The information you have just received is a potential threat to this galaxy, it would be adivsed to remove it from your datacaches for your own "safety" if you know hat I mean."
/Transmission End/

After some hesitation, another audio only transmission is sent from the Blood Monger shuttle.

"How advanced are your 3D printers?"

The transmission ends with harsh static.
