The president began to speak. In the background, the Delphan's eyes began to faintly glow purple. The event was simply too important to let the president give the wrong answer.

"Change their morals." Said the President.

The Delphan then spoke, his eyes still glowing purple.

"You have chosen correctly, Mr. President. You have the Delphan vote."

"All stations, report!"
The call had come from Admiral Spoor, who had taken control of the starship expecting a conventional attack. When Kalle went supernova, she gathered as many troops and civilians as she could and ordered them to board the [i]Kelsof[/i]. The ship had just barely escaped the supernova by five seconds, activating its warp drive just before it would have been consumed. The ship had about a thousand people onboard now, and had been travelling through space for weeks with no idea where they were headed. The sensors officer had detected a system containing a habitable planet and emitting radio signals, they had no choice but to exit warp without the proper calculations.\

"Aft boosters are down, generators are down, flywheel decks one through fourteen are down, we're running entirely on fifteen.."

"Antiproton streamers 2 through 4 are down, all others are still fully operational."

"Hull has taken minimal damage, no breaches."

"Multiple injuries across all decks, no confirmed deaths. Shielded chamber has held."

"We are in orbit of target planet, I am picking up multiple signs of civilization. Shall I open a channel?"

"No. We don't have enough power to spare, land us outside one of their major cities." Said Admiral Spoor.

The red hot hull of the [i]Kelsof[/i] smashed into the water, emergency parachutes slowing the ship to survivable speeds. Steam rose from the ocean due to the extreme heat of the hull. Inside the ship, civilians and military personnel alike were thrown towards walls and chairs, causing major injuries across the entire ship. Only three people were killed, all from a strike to the neck by a desk. They had died immediately, at this point, some envied them. The Dolphins were dumped out into the water, extremely happy to finally be out of the small tanks. The Dolphins in the Navy began hunting for food using waterproof rifles operated through the use of extremely advanced brain interface technology.

Meanwhile, the antiproton streamers were deactivated and the missile launch tubes of the ship opened up, each one loaded with a fission, fusion, or antimatter missile. In space they were standard weaponry, but on the ground they could be used to destroy anything from a single building to entire continents depending on their yield. Imperial Star Forces marines scrambled out onto the hull, taking up lookout positions. The ship deployed a huge scoop below the waterline, collecting water to extract hydrogen fuel from to power the generators and chemical rockets. If the natives were hostile, they wanted to be ready to fight or run.

The colony pods they had attached to the ship were ejected, both of them floating free in the ocean. Once they were far enough away, the crew of the [i]Kelsof[/i] got to see the sight of them unfolding. The triangular walls of the pyramid-shaped pods detached with a loud clack and fell into the water, spraying the marines on the hull even from the great distance. The unfolding revealed the giant pyramid in the center, the main habitation area of the pod. On the three outer panels of the now-deployed pod there were various smaller constructions, on one there was a military base, another had a spaceport and dock on it. The last one had an offshore drilling platform on it to access the minerals and fuels below the ocean floor. This was all mirrored on the other pod.

The [i]Kelsof[/i] latched on to the two pods, securing a connection using multiple hooks fired from attachments on the hull. Wood was quickly laid out and attached to the lines, forming a makeshift bridge. However, for safety reasons everyone was ferried over using two small boats carried on the [i]Kelsof[/i]. It was truly an amazing sight to see, over the course of a single day a full-size colony on the surface of a formerly unknown planet. Sure, compared to a normal colonization plan, it was horribly inefficient, but it sure was fast. And int his case, speed was essential for survival. When night came, the crew could make out city lights on the horizon. They prepared to move the [i]Kelsof[/i] the next day, after their had gathered enough hydrogen to operate their generators.
