Collab with Sigma

By the time that the Peace fleet had finally returned a signal, a larger council of figures had amassed in the office of Eovuy-Misalxul. A holographic sphere stood in the center of the room, portraying the rendering of signals their drone had recieved. Blank for a few seconds, it eventually displayed a peculiar sight. Tiny, pudgy beings with overly animated expressions. The room was stunned for a moment; these things were so similar in body plan. Misalxul stood at the front of the council, arms crossed at her back. She waited for a moment before speaking quietly to those present.

"How do we communicate?" she asked. Someone spoke up, stepping forward so that the Eovuy might see her fully.

"We are led to assume they have sufficiently advanced computer systems that a mass data-signal of our language could be translated, hopefully within seconds," they said. Misalxul nodded. Grey. An affirmative. With the order, said package of information was beamed to the drone, and transmitted to the fleet surrounding it; a massive flood of data detailing every bit of information possible on their language, including the unique manner in which color reflected things to the Noiran. Given the natural difference in speech, it would take nothing less than a particularly quick-witted computer to decipher in any useful timeframe.

Mei and her inner circle stood and watched as new data had streamed though, walls of alien text and other images forming once more. The near constant connection between the alien probe and the fleet had proven to be quite beneficial for the defectors, the shipboard computers and commanding AI slowly, but surely deciphering the language, the words becoming more clearer then before. Mei reached out her hand towards the shifting holograms, the data stream surging through her circuits like a raging river, her eyes begun to glow. She gave a simple nod, signaling the others to do the same. One by one, each of her closer advisors had extended their Metallic arms to the ever shifting mass of data, feeling the surge. "Noiran" Mei said.

"An interesting species..." Tenmu said, the other nodded in agreement.

Mei smiled once more. "I...have a good feeling on this." She said, waving her arms about as a screen materialized. "Huddle up everyone, they should know who we are, for real."

"Yes, your worship." They all replied in unison as they gathered behind Mei. A beeping noise sounding off. "Greetings Noirans." she begun. "I am MEI-2102-34 and we wish you no harm, we come in peace." she paused briefly before continuing. "We've come a long way seeking a new home, seeking a fresh new start for myself and my people. All we ask is to be allowed entry to your home, for a moment at least." Another beeping sound followed as the recording ended. With another motion of her hand, the screen shrank as the message was streamed to the probe and back to the main source.

There was a commotion amongst the council as Noiran words were returned to them. It had worked! Others were a bit more wary however, at the contents of the returned message. Lixioxu Aolfayer pondered.

"A 'new home'?" A yellowish color. Suspicion. "Are they pariahs? Outcasts? Criminals?" she asked. A hush fell over the council. "And they are blunt to ask of us entry the very moment we contact them."

"Their name... it has numbers. Are they synthetic?" added Lixioxu Yaeiolo. The Eovuy listened carefully, forming her own assumptions.

"Perhaps we may simply ask them to clarify," she said, preparing another message. "Greetings foreign one. I am Eovuy-Misalxul, representative of all Noiran peoples, leader of our humble civilization. We are curious of your requests, but also cautious. From whence did you come, and why do your people require a new home?"

All was silent in the council chambers, a short amount of time had passed before the Peace Fleet had sent their reply. Mei, from her more neutral expression was more saddened. "....We once hailed from a terrible place, the Agonis Collective....my kind have brought untold death and misery upon billions for centuries. I was blind to this evil for so long...until it was far too late. I and my people no longer wished to be apart of the madness. We fled, knowing full well that wherever we may go, we would not be welcomed, we would be hated and hunted down. "She paused before resuming. "Both by our kind and the past victims of their slaughters. This is why we fled and seek a new home, we wish to correct what the Collective has done, once step at a time."

"Then there are other civilizations out there. Excellent to know," Lixioxu Aolfayer said. Misalxul continued her transmission.

"I see. Should we be worried about this Agonis Collective? You make it clear your kind are hunted. We are rightfully cautious of harboring those that may draw devastation to our civilization. We are young and small, confined to a single system with nary a clue as to what is going on in the galaxy surrounding us. We need some assurance we will not be visited by something greater than ourselves with evil intents."

The third response had came in a far faster pace. Mei's expression more calm, and less fearful. "I'm quite certain the Collective will never find us. We have traveled a great distance, far from the Collective's sphere, and their warlike ways and fanatic ideology will eventually cost them dearly. They will soon have other, more important matters to deal with then our defection."

There was a long pause in Misalxul's office. Emotions ran high and chaotic, ever-shifting between wariness, hope, and curiosity. For the time being, opnions were withheld. Their Eovuy would make a decision with the information provided, and all those present could tell by her color that she was already becoming firm in her thoughts.

"We shall permit you approach our homeworld for the time being. Caution must be taken before we can allow your people to touch down upon it," Misalxul transmitted. She turned back to the council. "We shall all meet them face to face. I am confident for now that we are not speaking with beings harboring ill-intent." The two commanders affirmed her decision and walked in tandem out of the office. A security group would need to be made for their visitation. Another signal was sent, marking their star system's location in the region.

Mei grinned widely with this development. For now at the moment, the Peace Fleet had gained a temporary sanctuary and a possible ally. This would be the first step Mei had mentioned, with the knowledge that they would be safe, this allows the Peace Fleet time to survey the surrounding system while the fleet remains under the care of the Noirans. Mei made several motions with her hand as a map sprang back into view, before her, a route leading to the Vol System begun to form. "Set a course of the Vol System." Mei ordered.

Abiding by her commands, the entire fleet vanishing once more into the dark void of space, making their swift journey towards the Norian Homeworld.

Communication was cut as the ships tunneled into hyperspace, thousands of light years away. Misalxul stood taught before the empty holographic display, thinking to herself. Their very first contact, and the aliens wished to take residence upon their very homeworld. Now that they knew of a larger galactic community, far grander than she had ever imagined, imagination ran wild.

Where would this lead them?

Contained is a list of character sheets and basic world descriptions where they come from. Most likely saved for Arena battles, ultimately.

From Whence They Came



The World of Immortality's End

A world ruled by men turned gods, where reverence is power, and resistance is futile. An ancient order of knights, and the nation they serve, extend their total control across the entirety of the globe, graced by the invincibility of an arch-priestess and the apocalyptic machinations of a legendary machine-king. In the absence of the Old Gods, men are left to their own designs in rising up against the oppression.

Characters:
???


The World of Retra

A world of systematic magic, governed by a supreme arcane mind. Within a great city of light and concrete, dark underground powers seek to undermine the magical laws placed upon them, while free-reigning, sanctioned mages work to destroy those that would disrupt order. Vigilantes appear where lawlessness is unattended, and ancient horrors creep in the shadows to prey upon the unsuspecting.

The beacon continued unabated, occasionally switching its signal between a written message and the spoken word of a Noiran welcoming the anomaly. Pictures were shown in succession of various cities and landscapes of their planet, artistic works, and mathematics. The drone stood firm in its spot, just within visual range of the Peace Fleet, snapping photos as it waited. The signal, transmitted over FTL channels to Vol, soon reached the eager ears of few individuals...

Vol-Aoy System - Vol


The room was small, cold, and quiet. The whirring of a multitude of computers droned amidst the otherwise silent atmosphere. Systems were active, patiently awaiting a signal to indicate a change. Five markers sat as dots on an illuminated screen, spread across five systems surrounding Vol at its center. Then, finally, one of them blinked, and a pulse of light spread from it intermittently. The computer's whirring kicked into higher gear, and the screen began to spam countless words and lists, unlocking and engaging a program protocol that, until then, had never been used. Somewhere, a phone rang.

--------------------

Even behind the protection of a glass barrier, the office space was still plagued by the sound of Rimusua, the Eternal Hurricane. Rain pelted the glass barrier, coating it with a uniform wall of water. The skies beyond were grey and sunless. At the Distal Edge of Vol's habitable zone, sunlight reached only partially through the thick clouds, casting a dull, constant grey tone upon the windswept cityscape below. The office was spacious and simple. A desk and chair, plus a few armchairs situated to the side, were present.

At the desk sat a studious woman, gaze trained down upon the virtual pads she was writing upon. Her face was obscured by a chevron-like mask of golden color made of a semi-transparent material. At the front of her desk was a symbol upon a hanging flag; two circles of differing sizes linked together by a thick line. The crest of Noiran society and civilization.

There was a knock on the distant door, and before she could even answer, over a dozen individuals stepped inside, lining up evenly before the woman. They were Noiran of varying status; of note were two notable military lixioxu -commanders. Commanders Aolfayer and Yaeiolo stood before her with poignant colors. Something was dire.

"Eovuy-Misalxul," Aolfayer greeted, "System 3 has activated." Eovuy-Misalxul, supreme leader of the Haven, immediately turned a reddish-pink. Fright.

"Which system?" she asked, dropping the tablet she was holding to give her full attention to the commander. Aolfayer nodded to one of the others present. A scientist of some renown. With the flick of a finger on their own tablet, a hologram spread into the empty space of the office between them and the desk. The same probe dot blinked endlessly.

"What did they detect?" Misalxul continued. Images appeared then. Zoomed-in snapshots of battle-weary white ships.

"It is understood that they used faster-than-light mechanisms to reach the system. We do not know from whence they came," the commander said. Misalxul sat up straight and fell silent for a moment, colors changing rapidly. Mixed feelings. Fear, apprehension, hope, consideration. "Battle-weary? Do they express hostility?"

"It detected rising energy signatures the moment it's signal reached the spacecraft, but they did not retaliate. No signal has been received from them, however. We can only assume they are worried as well," Aolfayer said.

"Have the drone approach... Slowly," Misalxul ordered. Violet color. Firmness. Several of those present left immediately and silently, while the two commanders remained.

New protocol. Approach with peaceful intent. The drone began its slow movement towards the general center of the Peace Fleet, continuing to release signals reflecting Noiran culture, society, and language. A message was entwined, then, depicting a myriad of imaginative creatures standing side by side; an indicator of desire to meet with others.

Oizusol. Wariness. Such was the guiding doctrine of the Noiran Haven as it stretched its young limbs into the blackness of space. With such little understanding of the galaxy surrounding them and an attitude of caution and fear, Noiran civilization slow on the uptake, despite its technology, and they remained in darkness for years. Their homeworld and a few other planets -colonies- were the only places the race had stepped foot upon with their own flesh and bone, leaving much of their own system untouched and pristine. To the Noiran, who so loved their own realm, time was something they could easily 'waste'. Nothing was needed fast. There were no energy crises to solve. No overpopulation problems to manage. No hunger to dominate.

Exploring the deep was but the next step in their cementing of safety. The galaxy could not be empty; that much they were sure of. What it was full of, however, would take time to understand. And they would need to be prepared for anything. The defense array surrounding Vol was a testament to this line of thinking. Metal layers of mythic proportions surrounded portions of the planet's orbit, dotted with innumerable weapons systems. Their civilization, perhaps in wisdom, spared no expense. The monsters of the jungle had become the monsters of the void, and they feared them without question. No adult or child doubted the possibility that out there, in the darkness, lied in wait a civilization with no mercy or empathy.

Despite all their preparation and wariness, nothing, of course, could truly prepare them for the time when they'd finally make contact. Long-range drones had been sent to lifeless systems around their own, idly waiting for a signal to reach their sensors that something synthetic was present. Tiny orbs floated at the edges of each of five systems, inactive until they detected... it.

A ping. A physical force impossible by natural means. Space warped and the shockwave was easily detected millions of miles away. The drone surged into life, amorphous exterior shifting to accommodate for the hidden hardware underneath as it attuned to the anomaly. Something was there. Something unnatural. The drone followed protocol and eventually did what it was truly built to do; send a greeting.

The tiny message came in patterned blips on all wavelengths. "Sizo" it said in a human-like voice as audio. Alongside was an image of a generic Noiran of bluish-green hair; a reflection of friendliness. A Noiran emotion-symbol followed suit; a massive, poetic construction made by a historical writer specifically for this situation. It reflected nostalgia for a commendable past and the associated hope for a continued peaceful existence, though of course the language system was indecipherable.

The drone continued to ping its signal, as well as send news of the encounter back to the Vol system.




Noiran Haven
Tags: Mammalian, Humanoid, Asexual, Mildly Xenophobic, Timocracy


Summary:
The Noiran Haven is a single-star-system made up of a single race of humanoid beings that pride unity and purity of their ranks against the backdrop of an ever-increasing presence of other civilizations. Though wary of outsiders, they seek to enter the galactic community as honorable additions, striving for peace and safety above all else.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Homeworld:
Noiran are native to the terrestrial planet known as Vol. Vol is tidally locked to its star, and so does not rotate like Earth. Vol has two faces; a star face and a void face. The star face is perpetually pointed towards its star, receiving unending light that heats up the surface to incredible temperatures. The void face points to empty space, and so is perpetually cold. Freezing temperatures and massive glaciers on the voidface push ice towards the starface, where it is heated up and rises into the atmosphere. The low pressure of the voidface pulls water vapor back toward it, resulting in massive unending rainstorms that move from star to voidface. Where these two hemispheres meet is a habitable zone, and where life on the planet developed.

Actually that sounds pretty entertaining. :3c
Slowly working on it~

I want to experience a dice system that isn't my own, so sadistic dice pls~
Still here. Just trying to figure out what do to.
Tamashi puffed her cheeks. Another hard shell to crack, to be sure. She wasn't inclined to simply let Geoff turn her away; she'd get in on the SSS mission if it meant fighting him there and then! Or so she dreamed... The youkai was nowhere near the level of most Chasers in terms of combat, and while her ethereal fox-friend could aid her in that regard, he too ultimately would be unlikely to best anyone. A buzzing in her pocket drew her attention away from the brooding Chaser. Reaching into her short's pocket and retrieving her phone, she was elated to see a text message displayed on the home screen.

'This is Jin. Need healing. On way to Dengeki,' it said. Stuffing the phone back in her pocket she looked up to Geoff and grinned. "Oh well then. Your loss! If you need me though..." she fished out a business card with her number on it," Feel free to seek me out. I'm sure you will, sooner or later." She gave a salute before jogging out of the pawn shop. The severity of Jin's injuries didn't seem to drastic given the simplicity of his text message, but just in case, Tamashi always hurried along. She was surprised far too often with Chaser's ability to remain calm despite being near-death.

Down the street, Tamashi caught sight of her Chaser-in-need. Jin, along with another individual she did not know, were walking together towards her. She ran up to them before surveying their wounds. At her level of skill, it didn't require much to simply heal someone regardless of what their injury was, but she always had to make sure she only applied as much energy as was needed. Over-healing rarely resulted in something pretty. Figuring the gashes and cuts on them were the majority of it all, she snapped her fingers and a flash of white light enveloped both of the Chasers briefly. In an instant, their wounds had vanished and their bodies rejuvenated. The sense of tiredness lingered vaguely, however.

She rested her hand on her hips and spoke up, "Simple enough. What happened to get you two beaten up so hard?" Jin thanked her for her 'troubles' before handing a reasonable sum of cash. With how alive they were without her, she didn't even initially expect a reward, though holding the cold hard cash in her hands nevertheless brightened her eyes.

"No trouble at all my friend."
