*I lift a finger defensively* Okay, anomaly i get... but you calling your whole army on me? What's wrong with you people? And i don't plan on doing you any harm! So could you please chill for once with your panic based actions and give me some breathing space so i can at least say hi before you shoot?

@The Odeoron

This is a threatening action. I suggest you surrender before this becomes much worse for you.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I... EEP!

Hey how did you do this? You've done it now... Anomaly!

@Gerald 1

This has become exceedingly worrisome.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I er... you know what? fine!... *As i open my mouth to retort as i pout, the comms console of our ship lights up with the holographic display of the commander of the fleet we called*

Commander Ulhey'Tia and Fleet

Scouts Remnah and Oriell, this is Commander Ulhey'Tia, We are about to warp out next to your pinged coordinates, please stand by and ready, fleet Soliss 7 is about to engage the anomaly!

*I begin pointing frantically at the screen and look at you* See? This is what's about to happen! And you KNOW the military is ruthless! What if we trigger some snowballing effect of events because of our rash interactions here?

@Gerald 1

Affirmative Commander. Standing by.
*Turns to you*
Do you want to be the one who dooms our entire species by showing mercy to a hostile alien race? If the creature can be communicated with, then our superiors will find a way to do so.

Right!... *I begin getting ready before i look at you thinking* ... So about that intrusive psionic attack... there were words... that we could understand... Are we in the wrong here for immediately calling that thing an enemy? After all... we are an intergalactic civilization who has plenty of information on alien things that seem evil to our cause, but may just be misinterpretations.

@Gerald 1

Do you want to be the one to make first contact? I'm not convinced this is within our paygrade.

*Grabs my head in pain* AAAAGH what was that? that was painful! Migraine much?!

@Gerald 1

We may need to evacuate before the intruder does it for us.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Weird.... *I say to noone in particular - then i proceed to place my hand to my temple as i send a psychic message of intent to the both of you which may seem to come out as alien and intrusive* 'H-EY Wrrrhy Why do you think i am your enemy'

@The Odeoron

A psyonic intrusion!

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Just gonna come out and say it... you do know this relic of a station... Skrydyelth has been defunct and derelict since before we were born?

At least 200 Cellienn cycles... I mean. Do you even have the necessary skills to operate that archaic technology? I will be truly impressed if you managed to even pull something out...

I'm not saying it isn't a good idea, but my confidence in anything still functional here other than the singularity reactor's containment, is slim to none...

@Gerald 1

The ancients were far from foolish. I would be shocked to learn that no other defense system can be triggered without deep understanding of its mechanisms.

@Etcetera *I proceed to interact with the terminal by laying my palm on its screen with the intent on understanding at least on a surface level what this station is, and how does it relate to the aliens*

@ArGavryiell Right now I'm trying to figure out how to deal with these panicky flies here that immediately seem to have classed me as a hostile...

@The Odeoron

*The station itself appears to operate some form of beacon with enough energy and signal to attract an unknown entity or force*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yeah... can i help? and how again? You do know our ship only has the bare minimum survival gear, on top of our natural powers...

@Gerald 1

We need to turn everything on. We can slow him down, even though we won't be able to stop him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Huh? Hmmm... *I approach it and look it up but without touching, i enter hyper-conscious awareness, to see how best to interact with it*

Hey Gabe? I need to understand better what this universe has to offer. I found this terminal...

@The Odeoron

*The terminal fades in and out of black and pale blue slowly, currently in sleep mode*

Myriad Reality

@Etcetera

*I continue heading inside the station, as I investigate the structure, the hallways... or ruins of hallways... i'm studying as fast as i'm also trying to hide and truly understand what this ruin is...*

@The Odeoron

*You encounter a large terminal with branching wall-mounted wires connected to several panels along the wall*
