It would just be one of those many trips for the FRAV Dela Rosa. They are one of the many frigates assigned to patrolling the frontiers of Republic space but at the same time also going on navigation missions to chart and update the maps on a regular basis. Senior Researcher Joseph Marseille, part of the Scientific societies of the Republic was assigned on this ship to be a co-captain with its ship captain being Ensign Ion Talmak. They were just there doing their regular survey of the location having an almost fully functioning crew. Wondering if there are any other contacts they’ll meet other than fellow FRAV ships and the occasional traders coming in and out of the system in a semi-official capacity. Just sitting and watching in the vast emptiness of space. Joseph Marseille would just look out into space as he wonders what is he even doing here considering he’s just here to help out some fellow scientists run their machines to map out space. His specialty was more on things such as planetary exploration and specimen observations. “Merde…..I should’ve expected this trip to be one of those boring ones again…..why did I sign up….I have the money….” he would say to himself as he’d just check on the survey machine onboard too see it’s status as it contninued to do it’s work.
A signal would be sent out from the deep vastness of space. A distress signal to be precise as The small colony vessel of the Nalden. Coupled together from patchworked scrap metal and sub par welding jobs the colony ship was dead in the water as they say. Trying to hail any nearby ship. “This is Nalden colony vessel we request assistance as our drive system went down. We have about a hundred colonists from our homeworld and sparse military onboard. Requesting help…this message will repeat.”
FRAV Dela Rosa would receive the signal but they wouldn’t understand it. They were actively looking at the signals they were receiving which were some what faint. However soon enough they would just be asking what to do. Ensign Ion would soon enough call up the fleet command on the matter as they were in the area and nearby. They were given the green light to investigate as other frigates and ships were too far but a back up will come as soon as possible. The nearest back up ship being the FRAV Antoniscu. Meanwhile Joseph Marseille would begin preparing first contact protocols as the ship would begin rushing towards the signal. He would take out this small device like a phone that would soon enough get plugged into the ship’s mainframe. It was a “universal” translator in some way. Soon enough the ship would try to make sense of the signal and the words but the sign of repetition could mean distress signal as such they would soon be closing in. It would take a while but the ship would soon be in sight.
When the ship was in range it would attempt to hail again. “This is ISS Orian of the Neldan people, My name Is Captain Sorsina would you be willing to help us fix the engine and if not tow us to the nearest port?” The captain stated from the bridge.
The translator would try to understand what they were saying, only letters would be coming out. Both Ion and Joseph would look at each other as they would proceed to ready a mission. The ship was much bigger then the ISS Orian as the warship, the FRAV Dela Rosa would be around perhaps 8x-10x the size. Soon enough the FRAV Dela Rosa would launch a shuttle with Joseph on it as they would approach the ISS Orian. Meanwhile Captain Ion would remain on the ship redirecting the ship to prepare to tow the ship if it’s still space worthy. The shuttle would soon stand beside the ISS Orian and soon enough a team of soldiers and Joseph would move into space walk as they would proceed to knock on what appeared to be a door and hope to Equilibria they have a functioning airlock.
The airlock hissed as it would open up when the team was inside they would see a red light inside the airlock eventually change to green when opening up. The hallways of the shuttle were large fighting clearly visible on the metal walls in bullet holes blast marks or blueish blood stains. Walking by that, a open doorway into what was once arguably a gym has wounded and dead humanoid creatures their body covered in a thick obsidian exoskeleton. The former were frantically being tended to similar humanoid creatures with Marble skin the ladder however were left on the floors or beds were they passed.
Walking down the hallway twords them a obsidian skinned female figure dressed in a tan uniform with a few medals on the breast of it. A rather archaic pistol in comparason to the team was holstered at her side. <I hope we didnt startle you.> she states within their mind.
The squad headed by Joseph would move in. Until they would get the psionic message the would stop and have their bullpups aimed. The men in white were members of the Aerospace Force Spaceborne and Joseph was wearing the same suit as they were. Soon enough Joseph would tell them to lower their guns a bit at the figure. He would unshade his visor showing his face. Taking a deep sigh he would speak and think in his mind the same: “My name is Senior Researcher Joseph Marseille, I am with the Federal Republic of Huzar. Please introduce yourselves.”
Upon the guns being poined at her she would close the miniature openings usually ment for tendrils to leave and manipulate tools. <I am Captain Sorsina, My people are fleeing our homeworld along with many other colony ships scattered among the stars when our engine failed. Were a good distance away from our homeworld but as you can see its been rough> she says threw their mind jestering to the room of the wounded. <We were invaded by beings from beyond the stars and fighting lasted 5 years before we left.> the captain added, looking at each of their uniform and the face of Joseph she heard one of the child like creatures giggle and say something earning a scolding from the captain. Before she returned her attention to the research team.
Joseph would soon gesture the Spaceborne to lower their guns. “Very well Captain Sorsina, we will assess the ship accordingly. This ship has gone through a lot. If the ship isn’t worthy to move about being towed, we will have to ask you to board ours. Prepare to take any belongings you need just incase.” Soon enough he would radio in about the refugees and would have members from the engineering team from the shuttle to examine the Orion with their scanners. After that he would look back at the Captain “Right then Captain, permission to come inside to see the structure within?”
The captain would give her approval <just fallow the green arrows they lead to the engine room> she stated before returning to the bridge.a mariade of children Naldens would run around often time between and around the visitors.
Joseph and his squad would move inside the soldiers looking at the kids and saying hi to them. Meanwhile Joseph needed to know one thing, how capable is this ship for FTL. He would see the ship being a bit of a mess not to mention looking like it was all scraps welded together. It likely was he thought in his head. Soon enough he would reach the engine examining it only to find one thing….this ship is a walking coffin that has the ability to move. The engine was diesel and it only made him realize one thing. The ship is far from FTL capable… He would soon begin contacting Ensign Ion about the matter and the need to transfer these people onboard the frigate, which does have room but it wouldn’t be comfortable.
The Naldens would begin gathering their things up in the cargo bay, the dead were left in the ship as they all waited in the cargo bay. The captain would meet with Joseph <Thank you for the aid, we dont have much atm but we can offer you knowlage. In the form of how to build a slag rifle, and how to learn psionics.> she would say to him via her mind as she wondered the hallways of the rickety old ship.
Joseph would look at the Captain “Well it would be against our morals to leave you like this….you’ll need to transfer everyone on to our shuttle, we will get a connection up and running from there we will move everyone into the frigate. You’ll have to excuse the accommodations as the Frigate’s hanger which houses the shuttle will be where you’re gonna have to stay.” As he said this, the shuttle was already in position to load people in, extending a tube that would allow the Naldens to get onboard the shuttle. “Just get your people on board then we will have to process you on the frigate. Our guys are taking note of the ship’s designs and what not through scanning but other then that; the ship is being abandoned.”
The captain would make sure the civilians would get on the shuttle first fallowed by the military escort of 10 remaining soldiers plus herself, and then fallowed behind one individual who seemed bound around the hands and cybernetics clearly present on his chest and face.
Upon scanning the vessel the scans would come back showing the ship was a living creature mixed with machines. How it died might have stemed from the deisle fumes in the vacuum of space.
Joseph and his squad would be the last to get onboard, with Joseph walking towards the Captain asking the simple question of “what was that…our scans came back and well, that thing was alive?” he would ask as the shuttle would begin to leave and return back to the Frigate in where at the hanger bay they would prepare for the shuttle’s return and set up for the refugees.
The captain looked to Joseph before sighing. “That was a engineer caste, we are warrior caste. Engineers when they get old meld themselves in machines like lumbering war giants or grand ships of old, but they were one of the few engineers before the war still star fairing.”
“I-I see…..” Joseph would be taken a back…. Soon enough the shuttle would land and the Naldens would be told to go into some processing, mainly quarantining. The Ensign would soon take Joseph away for a talk about something. It was still in visible view of Captain Sorsina. The two would eventually agree they need to take it further into private matters. As such Joseph would talk back to Sorsina. “Excuse us for a moment, there are matters needed to be discuss between members of the federal government.” He would say before signalling the Ensign immediately to go to the meeting room they had planned.
The captain would nod her head before excusing herself. When they went into the next room, She began tapping into Josephs mind to listen into the conversation. Arguably the attempt would be hard to do, due to the lack of frequency so it wouldnt go unnoticed to those who knew what to look for to those that didnt you might get the feeling on hair sticking up on the back of your neck or the feeling of wrong.
“....You’re aware what the government will be doing right?” The Ensign would tell Joseph. “Yes, all too aware. Talk about bureaucratic hell, and you know I’m dealing with this to the end.” said Joseph. “Well…yeah you’re the one responsible for them now, isn’t your family members like topshots within Congress, I’m sure they could do something like better treatment then the usual maybe rush citizenship?” the Ensign would suggest. “No no no, we aren’t doing nepotism and as it stands I still owe my life to the federal council, the President gave me this job and that’s that. I’ll stay with these people when we get back on our systems. For now, we will have to host them. Prepare for the biological examinations as well for the ship and crew. Fuck I hate being quarantined…” as Joseph would sigh and hit the wall. “Well…that’s protocol for you, so I suppose these people will just get there when they get there?” Ensign Ion would ask. “So far….that’s the only path for them, this isn’t first contact but this is definitely first contact with new biological life. Fucking quarantine is going to be a bitch and a half. Can’t wait to see what the Bureau would do to us.” he would say as he’d leave the room in just pure bitterness as the Ensign would return back to the bridge. Joseph would on the other hand begin to initiate the process for quarantine protocols.
The captain had her arms folded. <So my people are being quarantine? Im sorry for any trouble this brings you.> she lamented. As she unfolded her arms Looking over to the bound member of her species. <I will advise to keep that one in a cell. Hes not a bad person but hes what we designate a bazerker. Shock troop warrior they arnt exactly mentally stable they lost the ability to use psyonics and instead get hyper healing and energy syphon if you could disipher our language mabie you could find a use for him.> she added.
Joseph hearing her in his head would be taken back for a bit and somewhat annoyed. “So I suppose you some how managed to merge my mind or some shit. Fuck my life…..” he would say as he was working on the paper work. “Well then since you told me that fine….” Soon enough he’d be walking back towards the captain. “Just so I don’t look insane I’m walking with you around me for a while so we can talk. Seems like you have a habit of just poking into my head.” he would say as he had his arms folded and somewhat annoyed. “So tell me captain, what exactly amd I dealing with in regards to your psionics, especially since my government would definitely be poking around with this.”
Walking with him she would continue, <Psionics, in short depend on the application. We can mass communicate or individually communicate your mind was simple to do this as it hasnt been ment to stop psioics if I had to guess but> nodding her head twords the bazerker <sometimes psionics could be used to temporarily or permanently effect others biology or for combat capabiltiys you could throw your psionics like a projectile think of a railgun firing a mass of energy that can interact with matter. Thats psionics for us in a nutshell, can be used for military combat aplication, scientific and communications.> to keep him from looking like hes crazy she would say the same in her native tongue like to seem like he could understand her.
“Hmmm I see….I’ve heard of psionics in theory before. But I haven’t dealt with it directly. Sounds like Division 13 is going to have something to try out soon. Not to mention the Federal Government would be interested to try and understand your biology and what not. Especially since they would likely enjoy the scientific, biological and communication aspects. Though the military aspects will also likely not be simply forgotten.” he would soon just take a breather and sigh as he would lean on a pole. “You see some of my men that don’t look like me, the one with the tails or the weird looking ears or limbs. Those are what we call genemods. If your biology could be manipulated to help my people, god knows what would be done. In exchange though; I have no clue what we could do to even help your people.”
<well if you could help overthrow our current invaders we have a desert and sparsely filled with jungle planet rich in fossil fuels. But our dna could be manipulated in theory I mean thats how we got the bazerker, he wasnt originally neldan he was at one point just a simple robotics project that was enhanced with dna and psionics so its possible.> she stated before stopping to look at him. <So what now, we gonna be poked and prodded like lab rats?>
“...Poking and prodding would be the thing of the Bureau of Quarantine. Not the labs, the labs would just be testing genetic samples from you people and try to understand how it could benefit us.” He would say as he’d take out a flask and open it. “If I had to be one hundred percent straight, worse thing they could do is physical examinations and those are just going to be humane. We don’t need to rip you apart since scanning and what not exist for that reason.” soon enough he’d take a sip from his flask. “Since you’re telling me you already played with your DNA….well that just made the fucking sykian genemoders jobs much easier. Man I do not want to hear the fan girling of those spiders. But looks like that would be the case.” He would soon take another sip again.
She would nod and stay Silent but she did feel uneasy you didnt need to be a mind reader to see that. <Our people had once told stories about our beginning we once were described as a weapon a virus that eventually evolved. Honeslty I couldnt believe it but with everything I have seen with regards to your people, I dont know it seemed too fictional hell the most in form of advanced tech we had was the slag rifle and bazerkers i mean psionic implants could be assumed an advanced tach but I honestly couldnt tell you how much our tech differs.> jestering her arms at everything around her. <this is all just very jarring, out of a combat zone and into what could best be jdescribed as a fictional story.>
“Think of it as this, our species evolved differently and resulted into something else. As such our technologies also went down interesting paths. Especially since you lot have invaders that we don’t really know about.” he would take a moment to think. “As it stands you’re essentially living breathing embodiments of batshit theories from biologists in my point of view at least. Evidence that those folks weren’t all crazy. However I digress, as it stands we are already on the move heading back to one of the stations. We’ll be entering FTL soon and once we get to the station, everyone is going to be under the subjection of the Bureau of Quarantine….” He would say annoyed.
The captain nodded. Probing his mind a bit more she would attempt to say sorry albeit due to a lack of lips and complete understanding of the language she might have sounded really silly. Before staying silent and fallowing him around.
Joseph would soon enough just continue filling out forms and the likes. Taking down numbers and trying to figure out things. Soon enough the notice for an FTL jump would occur and people would mostly get ready through the means of just simply making sure things are secured. Though thanks to the artificial gravity that can support living beings to stay firm at least during an FTL jump, it was all fine and dandy for everyone as the ship would jump it’s way into the sector where the Aerospace Force had kept their forward operating station. It would be in view for everyone to see the place where supplies and minor repairs would happen. It was somewhat grand in its scale but the ships that stationed around it varied in designs and some of them were even civilian looking.
The captain would look on at the operating station and gawk at the structure in amazement. Turning around she bowed her head to joseph, <I must check on my soldiers and keep them out of trouble>
“Very well, I’ll be meeting with the Bureau of Quarantine people, please keep your people in check. The government tends to get iffy especially since they will likely come in walking with masks or hazmat suits especially after how I described your abilities to them.” He would say as he’d walk out and proceed to wave good bye as he would walk towards one of the entrances of the frigate. All while said frigate was preparing to dock on the station.
She would wave goodbye before saying in his head <If you want to do a shared study on the anatomy of my kind let me know.> she stated in his hea before smirking.
A signal would be sent out from the deep vastness of space. A distress signal to be precise as The small colony vessel of the Nalden. Coupled together from patchworked scrap metal and sub par welding jobs the colony ship was dead in the water as they say. Trying to hail any nearby ship. “This is Nalden colony vessel we request assistance as our drive system went down. We have about a hundred colonists from our homeworld and sparse military onboard.

It was somewhat grand in its scale but the ships that stationed around it varied in designs and some of them were even civilian looking.

“Very well, I’ll be meeting with the Bureau of Quarantine people, please keep your people in check. The government tends to get iffy especially since they will likely come in walking with masks or hazmat suits especially after how I described your abilities to them.” He would say as he’d walk out and proceed to wave good bye as he would walk towards one of the entrances of the frigate. All while said frigate was preparing to dock on the station.
She would wave goodbye before saying in his head <If you want to do a shared study on the anatomy of my kind let me know.> she stated in his hea before smirking.
