“ This cannot be happening” Velka said aloud as yet another message was received. They were certainly not keeping a low profile. * it is just my luck* she thought again, letting out loud sigh before forcefully pressing a key on her terminal. The language was quickly matched with another roman message from before and was quickly translated into english.

“ Another Roman message?” the radio officer said rather puzzled before combing through the message again, trying to translate certain words manually to make it easier to understand. “ I think this is from another ship….maybe even another nation? It doesn’t match the same electrical pattern as before” he said as his face was buried in his terminal.

“ Two Allied nations, in one place, at the same time?” The JIIC senior chief said in a thoughtful tone, the gears were certainly turning in his head. As a master of political action and covert operations, Velka expect him to come to the answer before she did. It seemed however the mind of a spy master was easily fooled by conventional military tactics, something she would surely make fun of him later for.

“ We just warped into the beginnings of a battle…” she said quietly before tapping a series of commands into her terminal, bringing up the adaptive star chart.

“ Engage the active radar, give me one ping, 360 degree scan please.” she said calmly as the radio officer set out to work. Some of the younger members aboard the vessel laughed a little inside as she said the word ping. Due to the lack of oxygen in the vacuum there would be no audible ping, this was simply a phrase used to describe a radar scan, or using the active radar array. The Septonian orbital navy naturally evolved from the terrestrial navy, keeping much of the terminology as their sea-borne counterparts. Although humorous, everyone knew what she meant, even if they thought it to be archaic.

If the Kestral hadn’t made their presence known before, it certainly did now. By using its active radar, it would be able to see all of the objects around it, be it rocks, planets, black holes or other vessels. The downside to that action was anything that was running a passive radar, or anyone that happened to look at their radar scope would be able to see the Kestral for a moment, lit up like a super nova.

Would her fears be confirmed? Velka would have to wait for the response from her radar.
Cool, well then ill get a post up soon
should we skip forward some in time? Since this whole war didnt happen.
Velka wasn’t sure she could break their operational security by exposing that they were from a different Galaxy. It wasn’t exactly outside of her orders to say where they were from the neighboring galaxy but she had to run it by the JIIC senior chief on board. * at a later time….* she thought as she keyed the command console send a message back to the Abh vessel.

“ We are allied with another people that use a similar language to yours. The “Terran’s” are the people we have mistaken you with. We will seek out these worlds and see if they fit our needs, we will be sure to maintain contact with any of you people we meet".

Velka then scrolled down to the message sent by the “Roman” people, still wondering what to make of the message. They did not have much experience in the ways of diplomacy it seems, was that information? a Threat? or both? To the Velka and her JIIC handlers it sure seemed like a threat, it didn’t seem like they were two keen on “ Peaceful Relations”. Velka tapped a series of commands into the console and replied to the Roman vessel

“ We are not sure who you are used to dealing with, but our people don’t respond well to threats. As far as first impressions go, you are not making a good one, we will cooperate with whoever we deem necessary”.

Velka sent the message and sighed, keying the intercom for the engineering compartment “ What is the status on our jump drive?” she said flatly, trying to hide the annoyance in her voice. “ Fitting the final coolant hose now” a crewman said “ Five minutes, then try the drive. The five minutes went by quickly before a green status light light up, signifying that the drive was ready.
So this is happening again?
I used to live in Prague, what part Kaiser?
Well alf, the septonians are currently wandering. They would be glad to meet people
Always open to colab ASTA
Any world we find would be a candidate for colonization. So uber built up worlds will be ignored
