Bab 115: Chapter 31
The morning is refreshing, the cold wind made everyone refuse to stand up and start their work. They just want to sleep as the temperature, and their comforters around them are at the best possible temperature.
But this sleep is cut off short as alarms blared. The alarms that blared are the alarms that will only blare in case of an enemy attack.
Footsteps was heard all across the balls as people scramble to rush to their space fighters and meet the enemy head on.
"Move! Move! Don't slack!" shouted someone as people from traffic control immediately lit up the runways with magnetic acceleration built under them.
The pilots climbed up the cockpits and did a quick systems check before go the go signal.
There are around 12 runways on this defense platform. Each of them can send 3 space fighters each and has no some sort of cool down like those on the aircraft carriers.
As the space fighters leave the platform in supersonic speeds reaching almost around 15 thousand kilometers per second. The cruisers docked on this platform also followed a suite.
The cruisers measure around 300 meters in length and 100 meters in width flew out of their docking areas to meet the enemy head on. They used the near instant transmission for short range travel capabilities of their string engine. This capability is only added as this sort of capability opens numerous tactical and strategical possibilities.
You can catch the enemy off guard, immediately escape to safety, and many more. The cruisers flew through the space like a bird. In front of them, it's a spaceship around 120 meters in length and 30 meters in width.
The design and architecture doesn't look human at all to them. So they immediately knew that it's an alien spacecraft.
They passed by micro sized astronomical bodies. Those little floating rocks in space, typically around centimeters in dimater suddenly ignited, got burned. and turned into ashes when a cruiser passes by it.
On a certain cruiser group, a particular cruiser ship has a rather interesting captain. The captain is seeking glory and will do anything to attain it. He saw this opportunity to be the first human to strike down an enemy alien ship, immediately putting him as the hero of the human race.
"Tangos, northwest of our position. Their speed is far highe-no! They're slowing down! Full speed ahead!" said a staff inside the command room in charge of monitoring the enemy through the high precision targeting and locating modules board the cruiser.
The cruiser suddenly full throttled its engines and reached max speed in the quarter of a second. Its speed made their formation break.
This glory seeking captain broke off the formation and went out on his own. The other captains desperately tried to contact him, ordering him to stand down and return to the formation, but all plead failed.
On the other side of the star system, the envoys who consists of mostly Asari women are not bothered by the upcoming cruiser at all. This envoy's ship is strong, it may not have offensive capabilities but it sure can take a good beating. Their ship is escorted by 3 cruisers from the Asari civilization as to show uniformity.
But of course, who would want to have their spacecraft battered by the enemy even if it can withstand it? Design, and aesthetics plays a big role in your reputation too!
You wouldn't want the aliens a particular rcae on the Citadel look down upon, see your ship full of scars and erased paint.
"We have deciphered their language, we'll contact the ship coming to us. They'll stand their weapons down if they're not the barbarians they try to portray them." said the head envoy as she breathed and relaxed her whole body on the living room like section of this ship.
Her staff has carried on with her orders. The situation over the phone is currently heated. The glory seeking captain with a touch of understandable hate, and racism is being stubborn, demanding their surrender and face proper punishment from the law.
"I don't know, nor care how you managed to decipher our language but nonetheless, you must surrender and face the consequences of what you did to our peaceful voyagers!" shouted the captain. His anger on the incident can be clearly heard on hid voice.
"Surely you're civilized, you wouldn't attack an envoy ship right?" threatened the voice on the other line.
"Envoy?" the captain had a confused look when he heard the words of the woman on the other line.
The woman on the other line had a chuckle. The thing about using the envoy card works like a charm all the time. Every civilized race will surely know that an envoy is basically powerless even with the standard escort of cruisers.
"I-I..." the captain choked on his own words. He find it hard to compose coherent words in face of this proclamation.
Good thing for him, the rest of the cruisers finally caught up to him and the overall admiral of the patrol fleet connected a call with the envoys who are still on a steady coast towards the planet Earth.
"Halt! You're trespassing the space of the United Nations of Earth! Identify yourself immediately!" said a voice of a woman. The Asarian staff on the phone nodded gently as she composed herself and readied to answer.
"We are..."
While all of these are happening. The government officials, everyone from the ministers, to the Prime Minister, everyone is gathering for their daily meeting on how to deal with the issue at hand when a message was relayed directly to the Prime Minister. This message caught the eyes of everyone naturally and they looked like girls that wants the latest piece of gossip.
The Prime Minister nods his head and sighs as he leaned back and relaxed his whole body while massaging his temples.
"The aliens, have deciphered our language and there's an envoy inside the system. I've already given the order to escort them here on Ear-" his words were cut off when the ringing of a cellphone was felt on his breast pocket.
The Prime Minister growled inside his kind and excused himself and temporarily adjourned the meeting to pick up the call.
"This is the Prime Minister speak-" his words were once again cut off as the voice on the other line is clearly angry.
"Don't you dare let those aliens step on this planet! Meet them somewhere else, not on this planet! Anyway, maybe set the meeting up on one of those space hotels near the sun. So, if we get pissed off we'll send them to hell quite literally." said the voice on the other line. His whole tone and demeanor changed literally on the third sentience. As if, his words earlier are only some sort of prank.
The Prime Minister didn't even asked how did he know his statement when the room is clearly sealed in the inside and nothing can go out.
"A-as you wish master." the Prime Minister suddenly felt a cold shiver on his spine. This leader of the organization can change demeanors in an instant and you wouldn't even be confused how and why.
"Very well, I'll send my ow- no, his envoy to talk with these aliens." the voice said the words then immediately hung up like a chad who doesn't even put the Prime Minister in his eyes.
But this is fine for the Prime Minister, however what's not fine or whay made him confused is the word "his". It's the first time he heard the master say the words "his" and "envoy" on the same sentence, could there be someone even more frightening than the master himself? He dare not believe such a thing.
"He? Who in the world is he?"
