[b]UNSC Icarus - Hanger Bay.[/b] The Lieutenant waved at two off his stormtroopers who formed in. "I am sure you understand as a military officer that if you have guards I have guards. Do not worry you easily outnumber us." Though this was partially a threat as while he may be outnumbered on the ship outside there was a lot of firepower directed at the vessel. "We can skip out the meet and greet Major. I am Lieutenant Kirstanza. While the diplomatic envoy would surely love a tour of your ship. That is not why I am here. I am here to try and discover if you have any war criminals aboard your ship. This is a trying time, as due to the instability of the Republic the Chancellor has reformed it into the Empire and we're in a time of transition. Your ships appearance is not helping in the matters especially with the Jedi Rebels still on the loose. Take me to the bridge so I can review navigational data to ensure that you have not been anywhere to pick up fugitives. Once I have done a preliminary check, assistance will be rendered and so on. I am sure you understand, and would do such precautions if it was our ship appearing in your own galaxy in such a time." --- [b]Prospero[/b] There was a strange... absence on the ship. That was the best way Anakin could explain it. Something just didn't seem quite right. Especially the vehicles and the armour. It looked like it worked but it all seemed to backwards from current technological standards. Though he wasn't going to bring things like that up yet, nor the fact that there had been no real Empire before now. Not one that controlled the whole Galaxy anyway. With what his new Master had told him time travel could be possible so he might be able to convince these beings off that too. Make them some ancient ancestors. "If you do the will of the Emperor and my Master then I doubt you will harbour any Jedi war criminals. However I would search for them in the Force but that has proven in-effective. I will need to go over your navigational charts to ensure that there is nowhere you could have crossed paths with them. If you have we will need to do a more thorough search. Once I have done the preliminary check however I will be able to offer aid both medical and technical." --- [b]EDFS Andromeda[/b] The man shrugged slightly as he waved at two members of his escort. "I am sure you will understand my unwillingness to go with absolutely no escort. Two guards will accompany me-" It wasn't a request by the way he spoke it. "-They will not fire unless directly ordered too. You have me far outnumbered anyway. Also with all due respect I am not the diplomatic envoy. I have a job to do while here and it is to ensure that there are no war criminals aboard this vessel. I require to see your navigational data immediately to learn if you may have crossed paths with them. If you have not we will render medical and technical aid as needed until a more thorough search can be carried out." --- [b]Admiral Loff[/b] He was getting fed up of these ships now. Apparently some form of space station had appeared, in fact his vessel had to perform maneuvers not to hit it. Then when ordering it to stand down it had declared that they had to redo the entire political system. He had quickly jammed their transmissions so that only he would pick them up. He turned to one of the officers aboard the bridge. "Have fighter groups quarantine that vessel. Re-iterate that it is not optional. If they do not let us [i]inspect[/i] it willingly we will do so by force and I cannot guarantee the safety of their crew or their ability to retain the vessel." He looked back at the tactical display as the vessel calling itself the Icarus began moving closer to the Andromeda and a smaller vessel whose name they had not pinned yet. The commanders of the vessels circling Icarus however had already done as they should, adjusting their formation to keep their weapons on it. Next played the transmission from one of the other new arrivals. Broken airlocks, a likely story. "Inform our friends that we have adequete drydock facilities they can dock at. Refusal to be searched will no tbe taken likely. While you are at it re-iterate to the Aurora the same thing.""They say they are in rescue operations sir.""Inform them that as this is our space during war time we shall render aid and while we appreciate their assistance until they have been searched we cannot permit it. Send this to [i]all[/i] vessels. I want all traffic between them ceased. Be ready to jam their transmissions if necessary." This wasn't his favourite day. "Arm weapons across the fleet. If this comes to blows we're going to deal with it swiftly and with efficiency."
