“Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.” - Carl Sagan Cosmos

The Year is 2342 C.E. By Humanities Clocks

You will guide your species from your first tentative steps out into the Cosmic Sea of the Orion Cluster into a Galaxy of trouble and discovery. As you wage interstellar war or as you start establishing your first colonies off world using your new Alcubierre Drvies (Warp Drives) the Cosmos await.

Aboard the Bridge of the C.S.S Enterprise 6 light Years from Earth January 1st 2342 C.E.

Captain Jonathan Plourde sat in his commanders chair as the Starship silently pushed its way through space. They had shut off the Alcubierre Drive and were drifting about six light years from Earth. Little did he know life surrounded the Earth and in Many different forms too...

The First Sirius Survey Corps left the base on New Sirius, it was a team of nine, just large enough to not put too much weight on the ship, but also enough for hive mind to work well. They all scattered around the room, pulling levers and turning knobs, when they began a warp into what is at that point unknown space. They were headed for a little system known as Alpha Centauri. They began the warp drive, and they knew they would reach Alpha Centauri in two lunar cycles (A month).

Kelvin Moon
The Second Expeditionary Fleet was heading for a new planet, one that was called Hudson 21. They were going to establish a colony, and try to get glory and riches for the Federal Republic. It was very close, and it was expected that the Second Fleet would reach H21 in 1 Cycle. (1 week) On the home planet, Harvest, the Belkan Army was conducting training and trying to modernize even more.

Dom
2342 CE (Human Years)

Fleet Commander Dzagoev rode the Frigate over Dom. He watched the beautiful green, white and blue of the planet below him. He was glad that his species had come to their senses and saved their beautiful world of their's. They were preparing to leave their star system to leave for another close by. Their crew shuffled around the various parts of the ship. Everybody on the Bridge was anxious to finally leave their star system. The drone ground crews looked walked around the Hangar with their Green Helmets resembling Crash helmets. The Spiritus no longer used manned fighters, which were replaced by drones. Here they went...

They flew over the star, Alpha Centauri, they didn't expect anything, they never find anything. This time things were a bit different, a planet and moon, but there were distortions from the planet, distortions that could only be made from technology. They went to the "Whole mode" they needed to hold a decision, they came to the decision to come down onto the island to check the surface. The landing team had a single talker, a Scorpio who could talk vocally due to enhancements, and he would be the mouth piece for the conglomerate.

Nathan watched as Warp signatures showed up on the edge of the star system and they weren't human he recognized that much. A fast running courier ship was dispatched to intercept the vessel and to make contact. As the vessel approached they broadcasted several messages that were in Bianary to try to establish contact. The messages said Hello and Greetings...

A auto translator moved the message to the hive mind, the whole mind exploded with pride and thoughts of developing a new ally. The talker began a reply roughly translated to: The mind is thankful for the kind greeting. Then he sent a second reply, If we may ask where we may land?

A Response was wired through Landings might not be a good idea best not to scare people but we have a Space station that is available in orbit if that is acceptable.

The mind felt momentarily embarrassed, replying with: Very sorry, we are not used to inter-species contacts, we will meet at the space station!

The Courier ship took several hours to arrive at the station but it aligned itself with a docking port and the small crew exited and entered the space station. The Governor was being brought up to the ship since the President was 4 light years away.

The talker stood, using the time before the governor came to learn english, he began to say to the governor, We are the Conglomerate! We control a nearby solar system, and we would be honored to work with your people.

The Governor took a gulp of water asking what do you propose and anyways we would have to run the message on a courier which would be a three weeks round trip from here to our home star system and see whether Congress and our President agree.

The Whole Mind talked amongst themselves, they weren't one hundred percent sure themselves, but they soon came to the simplest conclusion, The Hive Mind would like to hold open trade with your people, in return we become you protectorates. We have heavy recourses in a rare version of Helium, and you make sure that we can send that Helium to you to aid in the fusion reactors.

"Okay", said Governor Jorge "I agree to your terms but that's not for me to decide you are welcome to stay in orbit until a courier returns with what the President and Congress thinks.

Planetary Congress, Pacem In Terra, West Antarctica, The Earth July 2nd 2342 C.E.

Jennifer Mackenzie walked to Congressional Meeting to listen out to what Congress had to say about the Aliens that had arrived at Alpha Centauri. They listened to the request that had been offered and a vote was taken the result was the agreement to the Trade Pact and the Protectorate. A courier was sent back to Alpha Centauri carrying the news.

[Democratic Peoples Republic of Tyrrania]

The whole mind went into uproar, the talker stood their and as it hear the news, it was told by the conglomerate to reply We hope that this is the beginning of a strong new friendship between our two species! We wish you luck, and we will begin trading as soon as possible.

Jorge Rodriguez wished the Aliens well as they left hoping for trade and prosperity to spring up between the two species.

[Aurinsula]

There were no creations under heaven quite so pathetic as the Tailoc Remnant. Though they were machines, they put on the guise of men. Though they were beings of pure thought, they bound themselves to earthly forms. Though they could become newer and better, they were too afraid to deviate from that which was old and inferior.

Though they had no souls, they prayed, and prayed aloud the ancient calls of the most sacral priests, as holy as a tape recorder.

"Captain Orsalacar" was the leader of the Scout ship Foroscelu. It had 24 crew, 24 beds, two galleys, and 8 sinks. Not a one of them ever needed to sleep, nor to eat, nor to wash. Enraptured by the horror of their mechanical bodies, they did everything in their power to pretend that they were creatures of flesh and blood. They would lay down for ten hours at a time, to rise again and spend twenty hours active. Though they neither sweat nor itched, they would wash and change their clothes. They would even chew on hardened tablets of sand, and drink water, and swallow it all and defecate it out again to be re-constituted and eat the next day.

If "Captain Orsalacar" had been a real person, then he would have been one of his race's most gallant and daring adventurers, of the sort that they hadn't seen in centuries. He would be a hero, bravely voyaging to stars unknown, determined to unlock the secrets of the cosmos and assemble a knowledge fit to companionship for the very Gods.

There was no "Captain Orsalacar." There was only a robot, a thing, pretending to be the Captain. It was a computer, riding around in a bipedal shell that would loosely resemble a Tailoc, or perhaps a sort of stylized, artistic statue that the Tailoc would sculpt - in their image, but not truly of it. It had no skin, nor any organic sort of eyes, nor any hair. It was a cold and metal body, for a cold and metal being.

This thing, the "Captain," could have controlled the whole ship via wireless connection, or perhaps even plug itself in at some opportune spot, or downloaded itself into the ship's integral computer. But such was not the Remnant's way. The Captain's body sat in a chair, on the bridge. Other bodies, with their own computers in them, sat at other chairs, and using optical sensors, they looked at optical displays. Using a voicebox, they spoke aloud to communicate with the Captain, who used another voicebox to communicate back to them. There were infinite possibilities for command, control, and communication - and the Remnant had chosen to utilize exactly none of them.

Yonder waited a new star. It was perfect; it was similar to their own, to distant Kairoa. What little scraps of the ancient archives remained had said that this star would be much akin to theirs, and had planets with atmospheres around them. The Remnant didn't need atmospheres, and in the strictest sense, it didn't need planets - but they were animated by impulses they could couldn't deny or even understand.

This star was a Yellow Main. To them, it had a merely numeric name; it was CR16613.41.

To the people who lived in its orbit, it was called Sol.

The ship crashed out of Warp Space, a bubble of super-heated hydrogen fizzling away into the void. Its sensors reached out, hungry for information...

On Board the SNS Dzagoev

Captain Viktor Ignashevich watched as they saw the star below them (Elipson Indi). The radar-men saw something. It was a ship flying around in orbit of the star. Viktor commanded over the Intercom, "Flight Crews, Prepare our Diplomatic ship to intercept them." Viktor also told the radar operators, "Send out a message that says, Greetings, and We come in Peace." The radar operators quickly did this to contact the ship. The Smaller ship from the Spiritus ship, left the Hangar, approaching the other ship...

Micheal was sitting at his post aboard the Africa station above the Earth when several warp signatures appeared and then several ships came out off warp into the System. The ships did not seem to be off Human nor Insect design and thus the station composed a message hoping the Aliens would understand the message read, Hello and welcome to our home-star system Sol we hope you accept this warm greeting.

The message was nothing to them; they could not truly understand it except as an attempt to communicate. Captain Orsalacar had a wholly-gratuitous conversation with his crew, and went to beam back a message.

I am Captain Orsalacar, of the ship Foroscelu. I represent the Tailoc Assembly. We come in peace as explorers, desiring no harm or interference with your planet. We seek only knowledge, and do not wish to trouble you in any way.

Of course, what she actually sent out was something like this:

Code: Select all

----- ....- ..--- .---- / ...-- -.... .---- ----. / --... ----. .---- ...-- / ..--- ..--- ---.. -.... / ..--- ----. ....- .....

Inter-species communication truly is not easy. The ship thrust to enter an orbit around the Sun somewhere between Neptune and Uranus.

Pacem In Terra, West Antarctica, Earth the Presidential Office

The President was pacing back and forth around the presidential office which Jennifer thought was too small anyway as several members of her cabinet sat in chairs watching and listening. She asked, "So now there is reports of another alien species in the outer solar system and this time they cannot communicate with us?" "That is right Ms. President there is indeed a ship in orbit of the Sun somewhere around Neptune's orbit and the Navy has confirmed with us that is not a threat to Earth or any of the colonies due to the reason's that one it is only one ship and two the colonies are so far from the ship that it could not attack them. So the experts have concluded that they have no hostile intentions that we know of". "Well then lets get some linguists on the job shall we", Jennifer said.

The C.S.S. Goddard the Outer Solar System

Captain Vladimir Gagarin sat in the command chair of his Dreadnought which was located in the aft region of the Bridge which was itself located in the core of the ship to protect the Bridge from enemy fire. He watched as his men and women worked over their displays giving him and the ships supercomputer data to make decisions. The Ship was keeping an eye on the newcomer to the Solar System with Hyper-sonic Nuclear Missiles, Rail-gun's, and Lasers aimed at the unidentified ship making sure that as soon as that ship did something threatening if it did the ship would last a few minutes.

[Marsisian]

FSS Stadt

The Federal Space Ship "Stadt" was trying to find new colonies for the Federal Republic. Three fleets were sent to different systems to find potential habitable colonies as part of Operation Rebirth. Instead, they accidentally came to the planet we know as Earth. There were no ships in orbit, since all of them were on the ground. They thought it was uninhabited, and landed in Siberia. The Captain of the Stadt raised the flag of the FRBA on the location of the colony. Then, they contacted Belkan High Command in Harvest. "Sir, this is Captain Ross of the FSS Stadt. We have discovered a habitable colony in the Sol system. We have named it Juno." "All right, Ross. We're going to get some supply ships there to help you get settled in."

The Thorvius

---

Aboard the Cruiser UCSV Integrity
Protector Kaeran Vellus
Near orbit of Harvest

The large, metallic vessel hummed through the deafening silence of space, engines blasting and coasting the ship through the stars. The ship was an sleekly designed vessel, with a well made hull and wings extending from various parts of the ship. Inside the large vessel was a Thorvius male, Kaeran Vellus, adorned in a smooth, yet functional outfit, something that Protectors in the Hextian Military. The rank of "Protector" in the Hextian Military is a rough equivalent of a Captain in the human military, and a Protector is often found captaining his or her own ship. In this case, Kaeran was captaining the Integrity

The Integrity eventually stumbled upon a habitable planet, and performed scans on it. After further scans were conducted, it turned out that there was indeed a sentient lifeform on the planet.

"My god.....This is it." Kaeran called out in his captain's chair, the bridge of the ship giving them a spectacular view of the newfound planet.

"Do First Contact Protocol Alpha. Send an encrypted transmission to the surface. If they are sentient, then it's likely they are as advanced as us, more or less. They could be able to decode it."

A message was made, and then promptly sent down to the planets surface.

Code: Select all

ENCRYPTION LEVEL: MEDIUM

THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE THORVIUS UNITED CLANS. WE DO NOT MEAN HARM. IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS MESSAGE, THEN KNOW THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO CONVERSE WITH YOU. PLEASE RESPOND WITH HASTE.
--------------------------------------------------


Kaeran sent the message to the surface with medium-level encryptions, and he waited. After all, what else could he do? This was the Thorvius' chance for their first ever extraterrestrial contact.
