Earth, Sol System @KeyguypersonUpon the arrival of the alien fleet, the EU military fleet quickly positioned itself in a position to defend Sol or Earth from attack. It was stationed above Mars rather than Earth, but it was still in a reasonable position to attack if needed. The fleet kept it’s weapons powered down, as a alert spread across to all of Sol’s defensive stations and those platforms that orbited Earth herself.
On the planet below, the Governor Berthold Williams, descendant of the legendary Gabriel Williams who brought peace and formed the United Earth Compact(and later helped bring about the downfall of the Terran Empire) had called an emergency meeting in Earth’s capital of Austin. A few of the most important figures on Earth had appeared, including the Dragon-Rider Festus and General Robert, leader of Earth’s Ground Forces.
“I have already prepared my forces for a full-on invasion. Considering this is a “pilgrimage” I doubt they come here with purely peaceful intentions in mind.” spoke Robert.
“Already preparing for violence Robert? Do you always assume the worst in alien lifeforms?” questioned Festus, staring at Robert.
“I do not need you two going at each other right now. This is a delicate situation. Robert, who received the message?” asked Berthold, looking at the two.
“In addition to our own comms multiple civilian sources heard the message, including the Church of Faust.” responded Robert.
“The Church of Faust is generally accepting of those that question their beliefs...but they are going to have a field day with their leader calling themselves a Immortal. Festus, do to your position in the Dragon-Rider order do you think you can do anything to keep the Church under control? The riders are generally seen as a blessing of Faust.” asked Berthold.
“I will head out now and try, but I do not know for how long I may keep them under control.” responded Festus, leaving the room.
“Robert, call for a escort, I want to be the one to send a message to them.” said Berthold, standing up from his desk as two Special Forces members arrived and escorted Berthold to a communications room. He breathed in deeply one last time, opening the comm link and speaking into the mic.
“This is Terra, or Earth. Welcome home brothers and sisters. However much has changed since you were last here…”

The Immortals all paused for a minute, closing their eyes, before opening them again.
“A non-aggression pact is considered acceptable to use. We have many duties to attend to now, so I am afraid we must end the meeting. It has been a honor to meet you.” spoke David.
