"Admiral Ramirez. the ship is ready. we're all set to fly into deep sky." The vice admiral turned to his leader.

"Good. Engage the upgraded engine. are you sure these silver moon stones will give us the power we need?"

"Yes Admiral, Legends tell that silver moon stones allow journey into deep sky. If this works, we should be on our way."

"Good. there were also stories of no pressure in deep sky. are we ready for that?"

"Yes sir. the armour has been reinforced with green moon stone, to ensure that we will not be depressurised."

"Take us up Vice-Admiral."

"Yes sir. pilot, full speed!"

The Delphinus surged into life as the mighty engines came online. It rocked heavily as the craft launched itself above the clouds. There was a moment of slience as the lights went out, and then there was total calm.

The lights came back on, and the crew got back to their feet.

"Did it work?"

"Yes Admiral. we are now in deep sky."

"Open the protection screen."

The mighty shutters covering the reinforced glass moved to one side, and the crew stood in awe. A moon stone shot past the ship and into the atomspehere, burning up as a beautiful shooting star. There were stars everywhere... blue, green, and even red stars... And Planet Arcadia below, with many different beautiful colours. they could see all... the desert lands of Nasr, The icy lands of the purple moon, The dark storms of Valua...

"It's so... beautiful Admiral."

"Indeed it is my friend."

The moons all hung in their orbits in the sky, shining with ultimate power, the rock glowing with might.

"Where do we go now Admiral Ramirez?"

Ramirez hesitated a moment, then turned to his Vice-Admiral.

"Now we follow our orders. Take us to the yellow moon."

OOC: Not bad eh? I'm just setting up this, my puppet nation. anyone can jump in if they want.

Now to add my main nation to the fray... Don't worry, after this RP, my two nations will never be involved with each other again...

Imperial patrol group beta entered sector 563 for their daily scans and investigation. The Imperial Navy was well aware of Arcadias existance, but chose not to interfere with a primative planet. It is Imperial code not to get involved with primative species.

The patrol group consisted of 1 Helios class heavy cruiser and 2 Dauntless class light frigates.

"Scans complete sir. Nothing unusal."

"good. prepare to jump to sector 564..."

"Captain, I'm detecting a ship in orbit of The primative planet, arcadia!"

"Impossible. that planet was quarantined to all outsiders. it was too primative. Perhaps it's a sensor ghost."

"No sir, it's a ship. it matches no known configuration."

"Perhaps another nation has found this sector."

"Sir, i'm detecting Arcadian life aboard that ship. They have developed space flight!"

"Well, it seems our primative friends have evolved to the next stage. I suppose we should greet them. Take us closer Commander."

"Aye sir. Take us towards Arcadia, but at half speed. And make sure all gun ports and weapons are closed and shut down. I don't want to scare them now..."

The patrol group edged towards the small craft near the yellow-coloured moon.

"Is the moon drill ready?"

"yes sir. we will be mining moon stone shortly..."

"Admiral Ramirez! Look to the port side!"

Ramirez looked in horror. 3 gigantic Ironclad battleships were coming right at them.

"AHHH! What in the moons is that?"

"Admiral? legends said that there was nothing beyond our planet! what is going on?"

"Shh. What are they doing?"

The 3 ships slowed down and started to pull alongside the Delphinus.

"Why don't they fire... they have us where they want us..."

"Sir, we're recieving a signal."

"Put it on speaker."

"Ark Gagak Slal Gor Hal Magir!"

"What the hell are they saying?"

"I have no idea sir. It sounds forgien. I do not think they are from Arcadia at all."

"Send a response. Ask them if they speak Valuan, and then ask them what they want!"

"Yes Admiral. transmitting."

Captain Walker listened to the comm message with thought.

"Activate the Translator. see if you can crack their language."

"Sir, we sent undercover operatives to learn their language. We have a complete dialect list. what message would you like to send?"

"Send our message again. and translate it this time."

-To: Unidentified Cruiser.

This is Imperial Patrol group beta. We see you have made it into space. welcome to the universe. can we be of assistance?

-Bump-

Now... where was I before all that nonsense?

"Wow. it seems they know Valuan as well Admiral. should i give a reply?"

"Yes. first, ask them what in the 6 moons a universe is, and then ask them where they came from."

*sigh*

The Captain slapped his forehead.

"Send them the standard info card in their language, when they have grasped the basic concepts of space, they might reply."

Admiral Ramirez Read the data carefully, for hours on end within his private chamber. The Imperial patrol group waited patiently outside for a reply.

finally, 5 hours after the transmission was sent, Ramirez returned to the bridge.

"Signal the patrol group. inform them we wish to follow them back to this 'Earth.' Also, send a message back to Valua. tell them what has happened, and that we will return."

"Yes Admiral."

"The Admiral of the other ship has agreed to return to Earth with us."

"Good. The Emperor will be pleased that we have made new contact."

"Orders captain?"

"Hmm... they obviously won't have a Jump Engine. have them follow us to the Jumpgate, and we shall leap back to Earth with them that way. Then we just have to pass Mars, and home is seconds away...."

"Aye captain."

The Ships began to turn, as the course was plotted.
