Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi // Aboard the Negotiator // Coruscant Orbit
The Jedi General stood with one hand stroking his beard, his elbow resting on his other hand. The surviving Jedi were scattered, some went with the surviving members of the Senate and the Military to Anaxes. Others were trying to gather and rebuild the archives on Dantooine. This left Obi-Wan and Admiral Tarkin to maintain the quarantine around the planet. In the distance in a much closer orbit, there was a large amount of wreckage and debris. As much as Obi-Wan abhorred violence, he had relented and agreed. Once the evacuation ships stopped, once the military and the Jedi had pulled out. They couldn't allow a single ship to leave, these... creatures were unlike anything they had ever faced. There appeared to be no way to stop their onslaught.
This was why when this being, glowing with the Force, approached them. Calling himself Daniel he offered aid from galaxies far far away, the Council had been quick to accept. He watched as they appeared now. Already smaller, nimble blips indicating fighters launched from one of the two larger vessels. Swinging down low in a recognisance pattern.
"Open a channel."
Cody chimed a couple of keys on the terminal, as the signal was broadcast out to the newcomer ships. "This is Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi of the Galactic Republic. We offer you greetings and thanks for your aide in this time of need, we're sending an envoy over to your ships now. We recommend caution, and that tight quarantine procedures be placed on any ship leaving the planet."
REPLICATOR CONTROLLED CORUSCANT
Coruscant had never seemed so quiet. From a distance the surface looked still, though on closer inspection the landscape shifted and moved as the various bug form replicators crawled over every possible surface dismantling what had taken the people of the galaxy centuries to create. While the surface levels were devoid of life, deeper in the lower levels life remained. The people who knew how to hide, how to go unnoticed. They avoided the bugs where they could, showing them that they were no threat, and the bugs left them well enough alone. Afterall, they were busy.
COMMAND CENTRE // KUUN-LAN // CORUSCANT ORBIT
As the hyperspace window closed behind the Kuun-Lan, Rhys stood in the command centre. "All hands, status report."
"Life support, online."
"Construction, online."
"Fleet command, online."
"Hyperdrive, online."
"Propulsion, online."
"Tactical, online."
"Weapons systems, online."
Rhys nodded. "All systems reported in, all systems showing green." He turned to the main command console as Eadwine stepped forward. The sensor pinged, as dark spots formed. A large blue sphere around the Kuun-Lan showed their viable sensor range, extended as various Acolytes were launched from the hangar bay, entering a patrol pattern. There were slightly smaller spheres from the other ships in the new formed fleet, as their computer systems attempted to translate the information packets from the other vessels.
"We're picking up quite a bit of debris."
Rhys looked at the various derelicts on the scan, pulling it out as the communication from Obi-Wan Kenobi came through. "The Galactic Republic has formed a quarantine zone that we have breached. The debris surrounding us is likely former Replicator-controlled vessels."
He saw the corner of Eadwines mouth turn. The Beast War still weighed heavily upon them, they had been simple miners once. "Send the acolytes in a defensive pattern with a patch of Workers. Start dismantling the debris around us. I'm sure there are resources we can use."
"This is the Kuun-Lan to all fleet vessels. We are scouting the debris and dismantling it as and when possible. Once resourcing operations are underway we can devote power to sensors and research." He looked to Gank S'Jet. Ideas turning in his head, who else should they send as a delegate to alien people from alien universes?
"With permission, we are sending a delegate to the Warspite to meet with this diplomat from the Galactic Republic."
