Terra "The Graveyard"

Panzer

Suffering
A spooky place full of dead ships and rocks. Many died in battle, and others died of collision.

The Planet got it's name "GraveYard" Due to it's lack of living things, and it's abundance of ruins both on land and in space. The planet was originally a green planet, thriving with life, before the many wars in which others tried to take the planet made it into a complete ruin. On the surface, you could still see dead Kaisic soldiers, along side their allies when defending the planet.


All...for nothing.

Terra's Athmosphere


The UTA-SC 300 Troop Transport carried Chester and a couple other men that were assigned as his escorts from Lucia Minor to his new post on the Fujin Class carrier, the UTA-SC Raijin. The transport rattled as it made its way through the atmosphere, then after a couple of moments the rattling drastically reduced into a nice smooth flight. Chester could feel himself floating inside the chair he was strapped to. "We're making our final approach towards the Raijin, hang tight Lieutenant, we'll be there shortly." The Transport zoomed through the cleaner area of "The Graveyard's" atmosphere as it made its way to the Raijin. Upon arrival, the Raijin lowered its hangar bay shields and let the transport into the hangar of the carrier. 


Chester hopped off the transport with his escorts next to him. He looked around and the sight never ceased to amaze him, the inside of the hangar bay was several stories tall, on each floor of the hangar there were a plethora of Dragons, Troop Transports, and Drone Gunships on standby, waiting for their next orders. Those orders, Chester assumed were coming soon. The escorts brought him through the ship to his new quarters in the barracks on board. They then informed Chester to report to the bridge in 2 hours. Chester laid himself flat on the bed and let himself relax after all the hustle and bustle of moving around.


====================================================================================


Bridge


"Ensign are we set for launch."


"Ready and Waiting on your orders, Captain."


"Alright open the ship-wide CC."


"Yes Captain.... ok, sir, you are on now."


"This is Captain Bersio speaking. Our orders are to move with the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet to Ademar. All hands prepare for 'The Jump.' " The captain then inserted his launch keys into the console and strapped himself into his chair. The rest of the crew aboard the bridge followed accordingly. "Ensign Lee, I'm transferring Launch Timing to you."


"Aye, aye, Captain. Setting Jump coordinates. Charging up Alcubierre Drives." The Ensign then spoke into the microphone, "Making the jump to Ademar in t-30 seconds .... 20... 15... 10... 9 ...8 ...7...6.... 5... 4... 3...2...1" The shipped lurched forward and entered a bluish white energy field, launching itself across space at blisteringly fast speeds. The rest of the 2nd Fleet followed suit and disappeared into the deep, dark void with them.
 
UTA Navy 1st Fleet Controlled Sector


The transport carrying the Atlus Admiral, Daniel Bauduin, made its way across the now less crowded space between the Orochi and the Everest. The flight was smooth with no interruption, the Admiral didn't make much of a fuss when being moved around, which actually pushed the flight ahead of schedule. Upon landing on the Everest, Bauduin was taken to the bridge where the newly promoted Rear Admiral Takada briefly inspected his foe. The journey ended with Takada's men throwing Bauduin into Nwarhta's quarters. "Get along you two," the guards joked before closing the door.


"Well, I didn't expect to see you here," Nwarhta smugged. The ship soon shook violently as it began moving around and positioning itself for the warp jump home. After a few minutes a bright blue light surrounded the Everest and it launched into warp space. 


UTA Space, New California Colony:


Half an hour later....


"Welcome to Terra, Admiral," Nwarhta smirked. Outside, the cluttered and gloomy atmosphere of Terra could be seen, but it was in stark contrast to the clean and majestic space colony, New California.

"Yeah... At least your men were gentle on handling me. You do know that Nobles tend to bruise easily." Daniel sarcastically scoffed in reply before taking a seat in an unoccupied chair and looked around. This was definately an officer's quarters, similar to his own really. But something about it felt off. Like why is Admiral Nwartha's personal computer turned off. Daniel simply brushed it off as the Admiral being someone who prefers a quiet room. He then wondered about what the UTA are going to do to the Euclid. That cargoship turned battlecarrier was more or less unique really. Something that Daniel specifically requested when he was given command of the Merchant Fleet. "A cargoship as a flagship is fitting, no?" was what he remembered saying as being the reason. As the two didn't really say anything to each other, Daniel simply passed the time by twiddling his thumbs and glancing out the window at the mind-bending beauty of warp space. After about a half hour or so, the ship exited warp space and Admiral Nwartha invited Daniel to take a look Terra.


"..... Why not? I'm probably the first Atlusian to see the birthplace of humanity in 3 gene...rations.... Good Scholar... it looks... Depressing.... I can see the Atlus historians at least tried to make it sound alright..." Daniel gasped in awe and pity at the sight of Terra before he shifted his view to the colony of New California. 


"Mind humoring me with something, Admiral? What percentage of people do you think get to live on one of those pristine space colonies? 40%? 20%?" Daniel asked, constantly looking back and forth between the colony and Terra itself.

UTA-SC Everest, Admiral's Quarters:


"Probably less, I only recently moved up here, thanks to my pay as an Admiral. The culture and the lifestyle are so much more different compared to the slums of the subterranean colonies," he replied. Nwarhta adjusted his turban and made some space on his desk by moving the computer aside. The guards came in and brought food with them, it was just a couple of sandwiches and some fruit from the galley with some packets of juice and water. A modest meal at best. The men placed it on the table and left, returning to their post outside the door.


"Come, eat, we probably won't be disembarking for another couple of hours. Until then let us get to know one another. My cell is your cell. If you haven't put two and two together, I've been placed under arrest as well. What happens today determines whether I live to fight another day, or if I see the hangmans noose," the former Admiral stated unsettlingly, "this is the reward I get for seeking peace between our two nations."

"Well that explains a few things here, Admiral..." Daniel said soberly as he joined former Admiral Nwartha at the table. He eyed the platter of fruit as he picked up a sandwich and took a bite from it. There was one fruit that piqued his interest. It was almost round and covered with fine fuzz. He said nothing of it as he finished his sandwich. 


"So it was you who tried to broker that ceasefire eh? Points for trying but thanks to your nation's actions, I have no idea what the situation is on Diagna and the news of my vanishing might stir up some... less then positive feelings among the soldiers." Daniel said with mostly controlled anger but he mellowed just as quickly.


"I just hope my younger sister is alright... She's just not the same after that Colonial Uprising on Ignis 7... Some brother I am eh?" Daniel bitterly scoffed as he picked up a packet of juice to quench his thirst, staring out the window at Terra. He likened its condition now to Annaliese's mind. Its alive yes but corrupted by something cruel and harsh, losing all the natural beauty it once had. 


"So tell me Admiral... Do you have any family? Siblings, girlfriend or fiancee? Maybe a wife and children?" Daniel asked. Might as well do what Admiral Nwartha said and "get to know each other", no?


[SIZE= 12px]@TPBx[/SIZE]
 
UTA-SC Everest, Admiral's Quarters:


"My family, all of them, are waiting for me over there," the elderly, Sikh man said while pointing with his chin towards the colony. "My wife, my four sons, even their wives and children. I even dug up my parents' graves and put them on the ship with me. If I could support them, I would've brought my neighbors and their neighbors with me to New California. They were all so proud of what I accomplished. I was top of my class in the Officer Training Program. They saw promise in me as a leader and a tactical mastermind, and eventually I was promoted to Admiral.  didn't want to leave them behind while I advanced forward into the higher echelons of society through my success. However, now, I return to them in the lowest form, I've ever been. I return to my family as a criminal," he finished while slamming his fist on the table. A few of the fruits rumbled around on the table and returned to place. Nwarhta picked up a juice packet and chugged it down like it was hard liquor, it was just a habit that he had attained from doing it too many times with actual liquor.


"All because of that damn warmonger, Nikrat. He wanted this war, for a while he convinced me, and I gave the orders to attack Ademar and the Al-Quhr. For the good of the Alliance, my ass. He's just lining his pockets with money created by the blood of our soldiers dying out there. The attack on Diagna's Trade Route. The Declaration of War against all of the system's military powers. Saying all that is for the Alliance, is just a lie, a facade," the Admiral ranted, "I rebelled against him once. Now, Nikrat wants to remove me from the picture."


"But you know what I did, I let him win. Being the person they trained me to be, I turned my belly over and conceded to him as he was my CO, and I let them lock me in this room. I should've lead a mutiny against that fool of a man. He even gave me his greatest f***ng weapon, his f***ing battleship. With the Everest, I could have done it successfully and stopped the UTA from waging this pointless war. I'm no different than you, probably no different than your sister."


"We were given the opportunity to lead and wasted it. For you, a whole ship's worth of men died on your watch. For me, I will be watching my armies and entire fleets burn, knowing that I could've done something to stop it." Nwarhta sunk back into his chair and sighed. It was something that he had to get off his chest after holding it in for the past day or so since his imprisonment.


"Luckily, with you here, I can have my redemption. Or at least my vengeance. I'll explain later," he pointed at the cameras in his room, signaling to Bauduin that the conversation definitely wasn't a private one.

"My... That certainly was a rather spirited rant..." Daniel said with a small smirk as he glanced at the cameras Admiral Nwartha pointed out. It was all coming together. The inactive computer, the guards, the presence of another Admiral on the bridge. The whole thing reeks of internal politics at play. Something that Daniel is very familiar with. But he has to admit, the fact that his men died stung. 


"Well if there is one thing you got right is the fact that you are like me. If I was in your position I would probably do the same thing. My father has a very good way of raising us," Daniel started, reaching out to pick up the fruit that caught his attention. As he did so, he kept glancing around, checking for any other cameras. He figured that he better act natural for now. Who knows what kind of people are listening on the other end of the cameras.


"Being a man in charge of mining and trade for the whole Principality, he made me sign up incognito as a miner on one of the colonial mines when I turned 16. I hated every second of it. The dust, the heavy machinery, the noise, everything about mining was a horrid experience. But you know what? It helped. It let me see what it was like on the ground level of things. To care for every single person but... I only learned it after an additional 3 months when he found out that I broke my cover to get prefrential treatment. Heheheh... I was a little uncultured back then." Daniel chuckled after recalling his past, fiddling around with the fruit in his hands. 


"But no... We're nothing like my sister. She's a strong one, she is. Lost her entire platoon and tank crew, came home a shivering wreck. Did you know that I had to carry her away when she began screaming and crying when the fireworks went off during the Liberation Day Parade? It was that bad but did that stop her? Not in the slightest. It was only a year into her recovery when she signed up to be a miner. A miner! Said that she didn't want to be a liability and to play her part for the Principality. I tell you, Admiral..." Daniel sighed, still playing around with the fruit.


"She's so much stronger then us... She still has nightmares now and then but enough of that, what is this fruit anyway?" Daniel asked, holding up the fruit in his hands. "Pardon my curiosity but its kinda cute. The only Terran fruit we have on Atlus are citrus and apples so this is kind of a first for me."

"It's called a banana. Just peel it and eat the center. They're pretty sweet and soft," Nwarhta replied. He sighed,"its okay, if you don't know, I didn't know these existed until I joined the military. They're a fruit common in the colonies where the conditions are best to grow them." He demonstrated how to peel it and ate his own banana. Just as they were finishing up eating, a guard walked through the door and asked them to get up.


03.jpg



The two of them were escorted off the ship and taken into the colony via a sky bridge that connected the Everest to it. Below the sky bridge and all around was just the void of space, but up head, New California awaited.  It was immeasurably large, New California. It rotated slowly to simulate gravity and the the climate and atmosphere were adjusted to be like the mild, coastal state of pre-war California. The duo were taken onto a shuttle that took them through the middle of the colony. From there you could see everything above and below.


The shuttle eventually landed at the shuttle pad next to Nwarhta's home. Rather than seeing his family waiting for him, he only saw more guards.

(Now knows what a banana is.)


[SIZE= 12px]"Ba...nana? Well the name sounds certainly sounds festive.... I think." Daniel said with a shrug, copying Admiral Nwartha in how he peeled his banana and was rather amused by the action of it. Compared to peeling oranges, banana skins are definitely easier to peel. He stared at the peeled banana for a moment. His rather immature side thinking about how phallic the damn thing looked. He sniffed it and noted that it didn't really have much of a smell. He hesitated for a moment before he took a tentative bite. He was rather surprised by the softness of the fruit and the subtle sweetness. [/SIZE]


[SIZE= 12px]"Hm... Definitely softer then apples and a easier to peel then oranges. Heh... I think I might like it." Daniel said before he ate the rest of the banana. "Ah... Well that hit the spot... I can tell why these things can only be grown on your colonies..." [/SIZE]


[SIZE= 12px]He took one last glance at Terra and sighed. Daniel was about to say something when a guard came in and ordered them to get up. He complied with the guard's order and got up, adjusting his uniform to make himself as presentable as possible. Who knows? Maybe he'll  attract the attention of some sympathetic female guard or citizen. As he followed the guard, he kept looking around like an amazed child. This wasn't the first space colony he saw, Atlus space colonies do exist over gas giants for gas miners to live in but their design was the Stanford Torus type, looking like a large donut in space. They were soon taken into a shuttle which shuttled them through the middle of the colony, giving Daniel time to take a look at the living conditions on it. It looked fairly decent, with residential areas, plantations and the occasional factory of sorts. [/SIZE]


[SIZE= 12px]"It certainly looks lovely from the inside... These people should feel blessed about living in this paradise. Predictable weather, controlled environments, perfect gravity. Some colonists are unlucky enough to be born on a planet with weaker gravity then the one on Atlus so they will never be able to visit the birthplace of their people." Daniel said with a sigh, staring out the window in silence for the rest of the trip. The shuttle then landed at... an upscale house? [/SIZE]


[SIZE= 12px]"Wait, what?" Daniel muttered under his breath in confusion. He was sure that they were going to take him to some prison or military base. If they landed at a house... This means... "I would assume that humble abode would be your's Admiral? And I would also assume that you're going to be placed in house arrest?"

Home, Praneesh Nwarhta


"It appears to be that way," Nwarhta replied. The guards divided into two and saluted upon the arrival of another commanding officer. It was none other than Nwarhta's own superior officer, Grand Admiral Nikrat. The old man had a long well groomed beard that extended around his face that connected to his graying hairline. His tan UTA Class-A uniform was in pristine condition, with his 5 star emblem pinned on the right side of his chest sparkling with the reflected light of the colony. His cap was decorated with golden laurels and embellished with a polished UTA Star Corp Emblem. He was the prime example of what a military leader would look like.


"Nwarhta, what a pleasant surprise," Nikrat said in a sarcastic yet cheerful tone, "and oh, Admiral Bauduin. You're here too, how lovely. Splendid."  The guards nudged the two along the pathway into Nwarhta's house.

"..... Well it looks nice I guess..." Daniel muttered under his breath as the guards sent to escort them parted into two neat rows to reveal a rather important looking person. Well, its a General. And a rather old one at that. But there's something about him. It wasn't the overly neat and pristine uniform. That's just a sign of someone with good discipline when it comes to the uniform. Something that Daniel didn't really practice on given the ceremonial nature of his uniform. Then again... The one he had to wear for formal events were worse with all the aiguillette and the more showy epaulettes. Its a surprise that Annaliese opted to wear that compared to the formal dress option but then again... Annaliese does enjoy eating ration bars over proper food given the option.


"That tone..." Daniel muttered as he heard the way the General talked to Admiral Nwartha. That was something about the tone... And that's when it hit him harder then a direct hit from the Castellum's 600mm siege gun.


"General Nikrat I presume? And don't mind me, the pleasure's all mine." Daniel said in a very carefully practiced cheerful tone. The same tone he would use when conversing with Viscount Cromwell even. With the sheer loathing beneath it expertly hidden that he even passed a lie detection test with it. But enough bragging. The fact that General Nikrat is here at Admiral Nwartha's home means that he and the Admiral are not the only ones in danger. Funny how a few hours of bonding can lead to someone caring for somebody who's supposed to be an enemy.

New California Colony, Nwarhta's Villa:


"Hahaha, it's actually Grand Admiral Nikrat," the man laughed with his belly, "if you wanted to speak to General Joaquin, I could schedule a meeting with him if you'd like. I'm actually Nwarhta's Superior Officer. Now follow me." The guards kept the two in line as they walked through the villa's pathway. The forest green hillside, filled with rare flora and fauna from pre-war Terra, was a beautiful sight to behold. The air was refreshing, crisp, and cool. A gentle breeze swept through the hillside softly blowing each man's uniform. "I was actually amazed when I found this place, Admiral, now I sort of regret buying that beach house."


"I bet you can buy another one with whatever you're making off of waging this war."


"Watch your tongue, Nwarhta. You already know that whatever you say here affects your standing with me."


"Am I not allowed to say the truth. There's no reason to wage this war, but you do so because Mr. Long and Mrs. Hayes give you a cut of their fat paycheck. In turn you give them the best business possible the largest war in nearly two centuries. All while screwing our government's budget by putting more into the war effort instead of desperately needed welfare in the lower class districts in the Subterranean colonies."


"May I remind you, Admiral Nwarhta," Nikrat replied with an emphasis on Nwarhta's military rank, "that the budget changes are half the reason why you are available to afford your villa." Nwarhta knew he was right and did not respond.

"Duly noted. Grand Admiral Nikrat it is then. I apologize for the mistake." Daniel apologized, bowing slightly. As much as he hated doing that, he knew that being polite to his captors might be the thing that saves his life. Still, he found it odd to be so curtious to an enemy commander who isn't a cute female but enough of that. He was soon lead along the path by a couple of guards along with Admiral Nwartha and Grand Admiral Nikrat. As the two had their rather heated discussion, Daniel looked around in barely contained awe and curiosity. This place was truly beautiful. Even the artificial breeze was well controlled to the point that it felt natural. A smile formed on his lips as he remembered his childhood days...






"Hey Big Brother! W-wait up!" A 12 year old Annaliese called out, holding the hand of the 4 year old Elise. Daniel couldn't help but chuckle and stopped for a moment to let his sisters catch up. He took that moment to enjoy the breeze that blew threw the hill over looking the Atlus capital. The 16 year old Daniel spread out his arms and felt the wind blow past them.


"Come on Ann! Elise! You're almost there!" Daniel encouraged, walking down and scooping Elise off the ground, to the 4 year old's happiness.


"Up! Up!" Elise cheered as Annaliese took that moment to rest and look out at the view. 



"Never gets old, eh?" Annaliese asked, playfully nudging her brother's arm with her elbow.



"Never gets old..." Daniel muttered, snapping out of his nostalgic daydreaming. He sighed as he overheard Grand Admiral Nikrat's very well phrased comeback to Admiral Nwartha's scathing remark about the budget.


"'Si vis pacem, para bellum'. Pardon the sudden interruption to your lovely discussion but I wanted to ask you, Grand Admiral. Do you know what that phrase means?" Daniel asked in a polite tone. He figured now is a better time then any to try and figure out how Grand Admiral Nikrat's mind worked.


[SIZE= 12px]@TPBx[/SIZE]
 
Nwarhta's Villa


"Status hominum naturalis antequam in societatem coiretur, bellum fuerit; neque hoc simpliciter, sed bellum omnium in omnes," Nikrat replied, understanding what Bauduin said to him. " 'The natural state of man before society was war, and that not simply, a war of all men against all men. ' Thomas Hobbes, The Leviathan, 1651. War is in fact a natural part of man's existence, my Atlusian friend. Its something that Nwarhta hasn't come to terms with yet. Anyways to add to that, I'll also quote the famous general, Sun Tzu, 'Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate,' " the gray bearded man added.


Nikrat did not hesitate to plant the seeds of doubt as he saw Bauduin trying to gauge him. The Atlusian's body language and responses gave it away, but Nikrat gave a straight face and kept himself relatively within the same stature throughout the meeting. They reached the clearing where Nwarhta's villa rested. Near it was a babbling brook that separating the men and their destination.

"Hrm... Spoken like a true leader, Grand Admiral Nikrat. As an Atlusian Noble, it is my duty to learn the history and birth behind my nation so that I may be able to lead its people the same way as our Liberators." Daniel took a moment to think about what he had to say next. He may look calm now but he's slowly starting to panic in his mind. His attempt to probe into the Grand Admiral's mind has been reversed. No, its been completely shot down. The Sun Tsu quote was the biggest giveaway. Daniel was certain that the Grand Admiral was onto him. He was probably expecting him to either brush it off but... Will he be expecting a full frontal attack? Daniel then decided to take the best course of action; nothing. There was no point in being violent now. Not when there is no easy way for him to escape.


"Indeed its true what you say but Atlus is birthed from surprise attacks. After all, its a nation built upon by a group of angry miners after their only hope for a fair life was unjustly murdered by a greedy corporation." Daniel said. Now being very careful with his words and testing the Grand Admiral's response to what people may perceive as a threat. 


[SIZE= 12px]@TPBx[/SIZE]
 
Nwarhta's Villa


Nikrat and company continued to walk through Nwarhta's property, going over the bridge and across another pathway to Nwarhta's Villa. Nikrat continued to converse with the pair, "We've learned from our mistakes, Bauduin. The commanders of yesteryear were overconfident in the abilities of their new machines of war. They threw battalion after battalion of soldiers at enemy defenses. They put themselves in places where they were easily ambushed. Never once changing their strategies and tactics," Nikrat noted, "because of these mistakes, billions of lives were lost. Those men put us in the position we're in now. Years of brooding over the losses has since taken place. Our commanders have studied the tactics of our enemies, learning everything about them." Once they reached the house, they sat down at a table in the patio, underneath the shade of an umbrella.  


"Anyways what was I saying, oh right, our current commanders. Yes, that's right. Brilliant people they are. I just received reports of the Battle on Ademar, a man by the name of Captain William Bersio, has been leading the 2nd Fleet over there. A dangerous and cunning fellow Captain Bersio is. He has almost a sixth sense, a keen ability to read an opponent's moves, finding a possible weakness, and crushing them there. The man has recently won a major victory against the Al-Quhr fleet while outnumbered and outgunned," Nikrat then pointed at Nwarhta, "this man here, who has since become your friend, is actually your worst nightmare. I sent him to Diagna to crush your forces. Nwarhta is just as dangerous if not moreso than Bersio. It is in his blood as a Sikh man, to be an unrelenting and brutal opponent. and while he was in the Academy, he surely was that man. But I guess that's only in simulations."


Nwarhta did not dare reply. Nikrat had him by the throat, and he was at this point only waiting for the bearded devil to release him. Nwarhta just scratched his beard and looked at him in disdain. All he wanted to know at this point was if his family was okay. In addition to that thought, he was also waiting for Nikrat to leave so that he could get a hold of Bauduin by himself without the prying eyes of the guards and the Grand Admiral staring at him.

View attachment 206846


The Planet got it's name "GraveYard" Due to it's lack of living things, and it's abundance of ruins both on land and in space. The planet was originally a green planet, thriving with life, before the many wars in which others tried to take the planet made it into a complete ruin. On the surface, you could still see dead Kaisic soldiers, along side their allies when defending the planet.


All...for nothing.

Arrival


The kaisic Sturmtroopen Arrived in View of the planet. The civilian ship floated gently through the debris of the outer planet. All the while, the scientists on the ship, jotted down a few notes that they took from the wrecks of these ships.


They arrived to one of the few loving ships in orbit, and began writing down some of the intel they have gathered through observation.


Due to empire tensions with the UTA, they mostly attempted to float freely alongside the trash in a attempt to not draw attention.


@TPBx
 
UTA Space, Terran Outer Rim


The Saucer-like LongStan Construction ships soared around the debris fields using tractor beams to collect the accumulated space trash and debris that polluted the orbit around Terra. These precious materials from past wars could be recycled into parts for the UTA's other vessels. With the loss of several ships on the Battle of Ademar, an executive order was given by the council to deploy in full force the entirety of the construction fleet to go to Ademar to repair and salvage the damaged ships there, but also to start the construction of several new warships.


During another fly through, one of the LongStan Construction ships happened to find a completely whole vessel. a rare find in this day and age. The ship seemed to be a bit dinged up, most likely from floating around the area for a while. Most Saucers were in the same condition after being in the orbit for days on end. There seemed to be very little electrical output meaning that its core still functioned. The crew imagined the huge bonus for this find and started the process to haul it in. The saucer fired its yellow=orange tractor beam at it and started towing towards one of the cage-like processing areas where the ship would be taken apart piece by piece in order to salvage rare materials like computer parts.


@Panzer
 
Captured.


the Civilian ship shook and rolled, causing almost all of the droids to lose their balance. This sent a shockwave of panic as they ran around the ship. 


The Sturmrruppen tried desperately to give off a symbol of peace and liveliness.  They manned one of the few guns on the bridge, and fired it at a random angle. The bridge was also used to light the engines.


They tried using the comms to communicate with them, opening a comms channel and hailing them. 


"I demand you cease this action right this instant!" The Sturmtruppen demanded. She left the call open in hopes of a reply but still shouted insults through the phone as a way to get their attention.

"Hey Captain, the vessel we picked up. They're calling us.... Woah they tried shooting at us."


"Alright we're bringing this sucker in, Jerry. Call the Navy over here too, I want them to check it out."


"10-4, Cap'n. Lets haul this baby in."


The saucer continued to the nearest processing center. They guided the tractor beam to hook the Kaisic vessel over to the dock and magnetically lock it onto the platform. Soon, a Tesla Class Destroyer showed up at the processing center with a transport full of marines. The squad floated through space from their transport onto the processing center platform. They hopped around and moved using their thrusters to the Kaisic Vessel. Once the marines reached the door, they patched into the comms and demanded that the crew exit their ship so that they could see them.


@Panzer
 
compromised 


The kaisic Sturmtruppen scrambled to hide their doings. They sent the intel through an encrypted messege. 


The scientist droids grabbed their notes and scrambled to send them or hide them.


The officer, which was now putting their guns in a hidden locker, sprinted to the door and opened it. The rest of the crew funneled around the door.


"Excuse me, you Have taken us off-course for what reason ?" She replied through the panel. 
 
LS Processing Center, Side 5


"This is an unauthorized foreign ship in UTA Space. We do not know what your intentions are and nor do we care, since it was reported that you attempted to fire upon one of our own. If you do not exit your vessel in the next minute, we will resort to using deadly force," the sergeant stated. He kept his rifle trained on the door in case anything suspicious happened. The destroyer aimed its guns at the Kaisic ship in case it attempted to return fire or flee.

If you do not exit your vessel in the next minute, we will resort to using deadly force," the sergeant stated. He kept his rifle trained on the door in case anything suspicious happened. The destroyer aimed its guns at the Kaisic ship in case it attempted to return fire or flee.

The sturm Officer opened the door, a saddened expression in body language.


The Other droids stepped forward as they began to exit the ship. The scientists were right behind the storms.

The Marines took them into custody and placed them aboard the transports that took them to the Destroyer. Once all of them were moved onto the Destroyer, the Marines checked the inside of the ship to look for anything of value but were unsuccessful.

[SIZE= 20px]Kaisic spies were found along the outskirts of Terran Space, prompting the High Council and the UTA Military to take action. Although the Empire insists that the Alliance should uphold their end of the informal Armistice set between the two powers, Admiral Nikrat has ignored their attempts and plans to officially declare war against the Empire. These are his remarks from earlier today:[/SIZE]


 


"I will not stand by and let the greatest threat to humanity get away with espionage on our own soil. The Empire is the last enemy standing in Destiny's way, and we will crush them. [audience applause]"


 


[SIZE= 20px]In other news, the Campaign on Ademar has been ground to a halt as troops meet heavy resistance from local insurgents and an Al-Quhraian Troop Resurgence. Casualties within these last three weeks of fighting have resulted in nearly 7,000 dead and many more wounded. However, the Alliance's Military Leaders are confident that the icy planet will be ours by the start of next year. [/SIZE]

[SIZE= 20px]Thank you, Marissa, now for those of you on Berlin Colony, you can expect a storm front headed your way with heavy snow and hail throughout the day with highs within the low 40s and low temperatures around the high 20s later on towards the evening. So bundle up, stay inside, fire up the yule log and enjoy the winter weather.[/SIZE]
