Somewhere in space

The two Ann Coulter Mk VII transathmospheric fighters came out of hyperdrive.

"Annie-62, this is Annie-63, do you read me? Over"

The second pilot replied:

"Yeah, '63, I read you loud and clear, over."

And then they saw it.

Seemingly motionless in space, lit by the light of the local moon, incredibly huge in comparison to the tiny fighters, was...

"Holy mother of God... I think watching Return of The Jedi three times over was bad for my mental health..."

A Star Destroyer.

On board the Star Destroyer, the Commander looked at the display screen. "What the hell are these things?" he asked.

"No idea, sir."

"They are in our territory. Call for back up, see if we can scare them away."

"Aye, sir!"
======================
The Vaccum of Space

just to the left the Star Destroyer

The communication reached the flagship of First Fleet, The Column of Winter. Upon seeing the comm, Admiral Johann Lokks moved toward the unknown crafts. Upon reaching the Star Destroyer, the Admiral looked at the screen showing the Anne Coulter crafts.

This is Admiral Johann Lokks, Commander First Fleet of the Andropov Stellar Empire. I dentify yourself!

This is Lieutenant Jonathan McKey, Allanean Stellar Navy, who are you? Are you Derskonian? Over.

Holy Shit the admiral thought.

Dersconi? I haven't heard that name in awhile.
What does it matter to you?

In hyperspace, Admiral Server was on the deck of his favorite ship Destructor! They were out on a leasurely patrol.

"Sir, we are dectecting some unusual signals in Normal Space." A young ensign said. He looked at him and shook his head slightly. To young he thought but that is life in the Corneliuan Navy.

"Very well Ensign. What type of signals?"

"Communications and unknown ship types if our scanners are working right!"

"Very well. Helm, stand by to jump to normal space on mark. All hands this is the Admiral! We're about to make contact with some new friends I hope. Contact Protocal 3 is in full affect." When he finished with his ship wide address, he used a hand signal to the comm officer and it was relayed to the rest of the fleet.

"Sir, we're approaching the coordinates."

"Very well. Helm, jump us to normal space."

When the fleet jumped in, Admiral Server stood there in shock.

"Oh my God." He said to himself as he stared out the window at what he was seeing.

The Column of Winter

"Sir!" an officer said to Lokks. "We have approaching craft!"

"Surround them!"

"Yessir!" In a few minutes, both the Anne Coulters and the Corneliuian Fleet were surrounded by the much larger fleet.

All craft identify yourselves immediately!

"Sir!" an officer said to Lokks. "We have approaching craft!"

"Surround them!"

"Yessir!" In a few minutes, both the Anne Coulters and the Corneliuian Fleet were surrounded by the much larger fleet.

All craft identify yourselves immediately!

"Admiral, they are surrounding us!"

Admiral Server just stood there unable to move until he heard this. "Communications open a channel."

"Yes sir."

"This is Admiral Server of the Armed Galactic Empire of Corneliu to Dersconian Fleet. I do know who you are. Our two nations have known eachother for a long time. If you have any questions regarding this, we have all the tapes and documents to prove what we have just told you."

When he finished, he looked around the ship and seeing the gaping mouths around him.

Admiral Lokks collapsed in his chair. Holy hell. Suddenly, images of Earth came flooding back to him. Kremlin Palace, the ocean, Admiral Herkjyavich, Andropov the Second.


To Corneliuian Fleet.

If you wish, you may come aboard the Flagship. I'd like to discuss something with you.

Admiral Johann Lokks just sat staring at the comm channels. Featherston's nation. Andropov the Second was great friends with him. I wonder how they're doing.

"It would be my pleasure sir. Do you mind if my wife and a couple of guards come over as well? Its a security thing."

No problem at all.

No problem at all.

"We shall be right over then sir. See you in a short while."

When he ended the conversation, he turned to his wife and sighs. "This is going to get very interesting!'

"Your right. Come on. Lets get our stuff together."

Five minutes later, they were on the shuttle heading over to the flagship.

"This is shuttle Destructor Alpha with the Admiral, his wife, and two security guards on board. We are requesting permission to dock."

No need for permission. Come right aboard. We have everything prepared for you.

As the shuttle docked with the ship, Admiral Server and his wife Erica along with their two guards stood up and proceeded to the shuttle exit.

As the shuttle hatch opened, Admiral Server stepped out first then his wife and two guards. They looked around and found where they are supposed to go. After boarding a train like contraption, they zoomed their way to the bridge.

A Few Minutes Later, Train Station 4B

Admiral Lokks watched as Admiral Server and his family with guards got off the train.

"Glad to see you," he responded, feeling slightly awkward. "If you care to join me, dinner is about to be served."

Admiral Lokks watched as Admiral Server and his family with guards got off the train.

"Glad to see you," he responded, feeling slightly awkward. "If you care to join me, dinner is about to be served."

"Thank you kindly Admiral. Allow me to introduce myself and my companions. I am Admiral Server Commander of the Corneliuan Military Forces. This is my wife Erica and our two guards."

He follows the Admiral. "I also brought with us some artifacts that you might be interested in since we've been friends for so long!"

THe Admiral bowed low to Erica, as was custom in old Derscon. "I'm glad to have you aboard, madam."

He led the party to the dining room, waited for his guests to be seated, and then sat down and turned to Server.

"I know I'm -- along with the rest of the old Dersconi Space Empire -- out of touch with Earth. How is President Featherston and Czar Andropov the Second doing?

"Also, how is Ivan's son, General Prince Ivan Andropov III? We went to school together."

"And Featherston's, grandson, Server.... I'm guessing you are a relative of his?"

"Also, how is Ivan's son, General Prince Ivan Andropov III? We went to school together."

"And Featherston's, grandson, Server.... I'm guessing you are a relative of his?"

"It is nice to be aboard" returning the jesture.

When they sat down in the dining room and the Admiral asked his questions, Server took a deep breath. "Sir, I'm afraid that Czar Andropov II died as has President Featherston. I am actually related to President Featherston in fact, my father is the grandson of Jake Fatherston and is our currently leader. I'm next inline to the post. As for Andropov the III, as far as I know sir, he is doing well. I haven't heard much from him lately."

The Admiral had a look of sadness on his face when he found out Andropov II and Featherston died. "Well, I should have expected that, really." When the rest of his questions were answered, the sadness went away.

"Congrats to you, then." The Admiral thought for a minute or two.

"The Dersconi Space Empire is in shambles. Most planets are thier own independant nations, sometimes even the planets are divided. Currently, every independent State is under marshal law. I am in charge of the "largest," so to speak, State, with four planets. Everything else is independent.

"I need to get into contact with the current Dersconi Administration, and I need to do it in person. Ever since the civil war out here in space, all of our Stargates were destroyed, and even hyperspace takes over a year to get out to Earth."

THe Allanean Commander replied: "In the case, perhaps you should use our ships for transport. The foldspace/hyperdrive hybrid could get you there much faster".

The Admiral shrugged. "Okay. Whichever any of you choose."

"Thank you sir. If you want to get to Earth sir, my ship can get you there. Besides, I was on my way there now to see how our colony there is doing."

"Okay. I will gladly do this. Thank you for your offer. Now, how about dessert?"

"Okay. I will gladly do this. Thank you for your offer. Now, how about dessert?"

"Dessert will be fine" Erica said.

John Server looked at her but simply nodded. "After that then we can head back to my shuttle and we'll take you straight to Earth."

"Well, we have pumpkin roll, chocolate cheesecake, or chocolate penut butter pie."

"Well, we have pumpkin roll, chocolate cheesecake, or chocolate penut butter pie."

"I will have the Chocolate Cheesecake" Erica stated. "Make that 2" John said!

"Make that three," Lokks said, smiling, as the Marine nodded and went back to the kitchen. A few minutes later, he returned with the cheesecakes.

"Enjoy!"

"Make that three," Lokks said, smiling, as the Marine nodded and went back to the kitchen. A few minutes later, he returned with the cheesecakes.

"Enjoy!"

"This is delicious sir." John commented. "This is almost as good as the one my mom used to make"

Erica too added her compliments to the dessert.

"I'm glad you like it," Admiral Lokks said. THe Marine came in and picked up the finished plates.

"Now, shall we go?"

"I'm glad you like it," Admiral Lokks said. THe Marine came in and picked up the finished plates.

"Now, shall we go?"

"Yes! let us go so that you can make contact with your leader."

He gets up and leads the way back to his shuttle.

"Okay." Admiral Lokks took them on the bullet train to the shuttle docks.

"Well, this is your territory now. Lead the way."

"Okay." Admiral Lokks took them on the bullet train to the shuttle docks.

"Well, this is your territory now. Lead the way."

They all boarded the shuttle and the shuttle lifts off towards his flagship.

"If you look out the viewport here, you'll see my famous flagship, the Destructor! I lead the Battle of Minbar from that ship and won many victories with it. The ships around her are her escort fleet." He stated as the shuttle came in for landing. Once it landed, he led them from the shuttle bay to the bridge.

"Welcome to the Bridge. The heart and soul of the ship. If you would like to sit you may. Helm, plot us a course to Earth at maximum hyperspace velocity."

"Yes sir!" After typing in the coordinates and speed, he stated, "All set boss"

"Engage"

The engines came to life and moments later, jumped into hyperspace.

OOC: Keep going. Your show until we hit Corneliu.

A couple of days later, the Destructor arrived at Earth!

"Sir, we have arrived at our target destination."

"Very well have the Admiral come up here."

When the Admiral arrived on the bridge, Server looks at him and stated, "We have arrived at Earth. I thought you should be up here when we jump in."

"Sir we are now at designated jump coordinates."

"Very well! Jump to normal space."

At that moment, the ship jumped into the system and took up its orbit around the planet.

"You can use our comm to notify whomever you need to notify."

Admiral Lokks just stared at Earth in wonder. He snapped out of the trance and got on the comm.

Derscon, this is Admiral Lokks of the Dersconi Cosmoimperial Empire.
Repeat, this is Admiral Lokks of the Dersconi Cosmoimperial Empire.

The Admiral just stared. "The people probably think I'm nuts," he said to himself.

Derscon, this is Admiral Lokks of the Dersconi Cosmoimperial Empire.
Repeat, this is Admiral Lokks of the Dersconi Cosmoimperial Empire.

==========================
Kremlin Palace Communications Room, RAMC

"Oh my Lord," the General said. A staff officer ran up, and five minutes later, the Czar was in the comm room.

The Czar just stared. "Clarify that."

"Yessir!" A few dials and data inputs were done and the message was heard again.

Derscon, this is Admiral Lokks of the Dersconi Cosmoimperial Empire.
Repeat, this is Admiral Lokks of the Dersconi Cosmoimperial Empire.

"Get me on that channel now!"

Admiral Lokks! This is Czar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov the Third.
========================
The Destructor

Admiral Johann Lokks stared at the comm device with joy.

Ivan! It is Johann.
========================
Kremlin Palace, RAMC

THe Czar's heart lept for joy.

How'd you get here? Get your ass down here at once! We have some
talking to do.

BUMP! Corneliu, it is your ship. I need you to drop down on RAMC

OOC: Nah Really? Excuse me for going on break and enjoying my new kitten!

On the ship, Admiral Server looked at his guest! "Shall we go down Admiral?" He asked.

When the Admiral nodded, Server escorted him back to the shuttle bay and launched. As they entered atmosphere, Admiral Server spoke into the comm: "This is Admiral Server, Commander in Chief of the Corneliuan Space Forces, to Derscon Traffic Control. We are requesting landing clearence. I say again we are requesting landing clearence."

OOC: No worries, I just got back from Florida.
=====

This is Kremlin Air Traffic Control. We've been expecting you.

The ship was directed to the landing pad. Upon landing, the admirals were quickly whisked away to the Kremlin.

Upon arrival (OOC: Skipping security crap), they were greeted by Chancellor Commander Otto von Bismarck.

"Welcome to Earth, you two. The Czar is in Reichskamphen at the moment, so you'll be talking with me for now." As they walked to Bismarck's office, Count Franz von Papen, standing on the East Balcony, looked down on them and saw the two Admirals. He then sent the signal to the Czar.

"No worries sir. Its been awhile since I visited any member of the government so talking to you won't be a problem sir."

Bismarck nodded.

"So, exactly what are you doing here, and what is going on in space?"

"Well sir. I'm here because I ferried the Admiral here at his request." Server stated.

Bismarck nodded. "Thank you." He turned to the Dersconi Admiral.

"You come at an interesting time. What brings you here?"

"Sir," the Admiral started. "I am currently the leader of the largest Dersconi Space Province, codenamed Heartland." Bismarck's eyes widened.

"The Military Facilities."

"Yes. Droids, clones, SPARTANs, Star Destoryers, and even two Supersta-" Bismarck cut him off with a glance to the Corneliuian.

"I know the projects that were going on. Why is it you could not come?"

"Well, we had a civil war, in which all but one of the Stargates used to travel were destroyed, and those that knew how to make them were killed."

"And you failed to use this last one because...."

"We don't know where it is." Bismarck nodded.

"Okay then. What is the situation there?"

"Well, all the other areas have split into seven different kingdoms. The largest, the Heartland -- my Kingdom -- is the only one even attempting to reestablish contact with you. Thankfully, though, it is also the largest. most people have stated that they would rejoin the Kremlin as soon as possible."

"Okay, good," the Reichchancellor said as he turned to the Corneliu Admiral.

"Do you or any of your allies have a Stargate you could give them?"

"As far as I know sir, we don't have them. As for our allies, I don't believe that they do either but then again, we never looked into it."

Bismarck nodded. "Then I shall look around. I believe my contacts within the Northrop-Grumman Corporation has some. Unfortunately, they are involved in civil war, so I doubt I shall be getting any.

"in reality, though, the Stargates are really the only way to travel fast enough to get communication between the two areas." He turned to the Corneliuian Admiral.

"Anything you can do right now to help?"

"We can help with money as well as with training. As for anything else, I will have to inquire with my father."

Bismarck nodded. "Please try. As the Admiral here explains, conditions are bad."

Bismarck nodded. "Please try. As the Admiral here explains, conditions are bad."

"Very Very Bad sir. I shall see what I can do but it really is up to my father and what he can pass through Congress. Congress has more leway these days than they used to have."

Bismarck smiled. "Oh? That is the advantage of a monarchy. All you have to do is ask the Czar. If he says yes, congrats! You win, and no bereaucratic bullshit."

Bismarck smiled. "Oh? That is the advantage of a monarchy. All you have to do is ask the Czar. If he says yes, congrats! You win, and no bereaucratic bullshit."

"Well Congress used to do what the President wanted till our bloody Civil War! Now they have a bit more leway in what they do. However, our country is also military oriented so when it comes to the military, he pretty much gets what he wants. It is very rare that he doesn't!"

"Well then," Bismarck said, turning on the video link.

"Let us see if we can talk to the President, eh?" He made the appropriate connections, and hoped President Server picked up the phone.
