All Nations in Universe Alpha,

It is with great sorrow that I transmit this message. Recently, Outer Heaven has been suffering some great inner turmoil. Many uprisings have occured in some inner sectors, and a new threat has emerged that we, for the moment, refuse to reveal, for fear of brining unnecessary panic to some Alpha Nations. However, rest assured that the situation is under control.

But, after some debate, it has been deciding that, as of 16:03 GMT, Outer Heaven MK II is closing off it's borders, and access to it's space. All major outposts in Universe will be dismantled, and fleets redirected to Outer Heaven space, except one. The Tau Sigma outpost will stay in operation, and the Third Royal Fleet, and all it's complements will stay with the outpost.

It is unknown when Outer Heaven will reopen, but I can assure you personally that one day, we will return. Tau Sigma will continue it's mission of mapping out Universe Alpha, and any messages you wish to transmit to Outer Heaven you should leave at the Tau Sigma outpost. These messages will be sent in a heavily encrypted comm-burst across to Universe Beta (and therefore, to us) via a hidden Ta'DERE in the Tau Sigma system. We cannot guarantee that the messages will be answered in a timely fashion, but rest assured, we will have read them.

The ITH is permitted to stay in operation, however, no Ta'DERE will be able to access Outer Heaven space. Any attempts to do so will result in a slingshotting into a nearby system, safely away from Outer Heaven Space. All ITH Police Forces will stay, however, and continue to help our Balroggan Allies.

I wish you all well, and look forward to the day when Outer Heaven returns to Universe Alpha. Until then, goodbye.

Signed,
Grand Admiral Anton Slavik,
Ruler of Outer Heaven MK II

We are sad to hear this. But be mind full not everyone will see this as aa good thing and will take advantage of the fact your military would be spread thin because of the border closure. Be mindful and dont hasitate to ask for help.

I thank you for your concern.

However, I have many doubts that anyone can try and strike at us currently, seeing as the TaDERE's control all Sub-Space Travel in and out of our Nation. No other Nation can reach us by any other means, unless they are willing to travel the Multiverse to where we are situated. Just to clear up matters, we are from Universe Beta, another Universe similar to yours. We have plundered most of Universe Beta, and set our Empire up over three Galaxies near the core of the Universe. We came to Universe Alpha centuries ago, intruiged by some of the Subspace fluxuations we observed, indicating sentient life using FTL Technology.

At first, we waged war, but eventually found that doing so would not be in our benefit. So, Outer Heaven set up an Outpost at Tau Sigma, the system we originally arrived in from Universe Alpha. This is our current Outpost, and the only viable link to Outer Heaven. But rest assured, the TaDERE is hidden quite safely.

However, if you permit, perhaps you would like a representitive to visit your Nation? Your Nation isn't one we're aware of.

Oh, and we can arrange transport for ourselves with ease.

Ah multiverse travel. Our specialty. Hobbeebia prides itself on its advanced inter-dimensional travel ( or multiverse travel). We will give you the dimensional area cooradinates.

Transmitting... done.

Thier we will open our selve to you. and we will have a show ready for your arrival. We hope that we can have a peaceful relationship in our futures.

Outer Heaven Mark II,

Remnants of the AI system of The Scaecrows remembers you. It is... Saddened by this loss. And it urged our small nation to extend the hand of aid in any way possible.

Sincerely.

I thank you for your offer, and shall we need it, we will gladly ask for whatever you can spare. However, for now, all I ask is that you spread the word, and keep away from Outer Heaven MK II's Borders. The situation is under control, but has developed somewhat. Again, I thank you.

"Universe Beta eh? How wonders ever become replete."

Lord Tsutsumi, wandering the halls of the Palace Tree on the homeworld, in place of the Excellency family whom had gone to the Motherworld, Terra itself to actually enter diplomatic talks with the nation of Japan to acquire an agreed protective control of the terran nation, left the said Council Advisor in command lieu of the Ascendancy Sphere.

The emprie's vast resources were still in good hands, as was the news of Comm-Orbs recieving transmissions from Beta Universe. With the Eternal War raging across the D-3 Dimension, the spread of tens of trillions of Orbs across the twenty-seven universes here gave just as effective comm coverage as in one single galaxy.

The transmissions from the civilization of Outer Heaven Mk II came as a welcome suprise, if tenuous due to the inflection of the same nation's intent.

The 'no nation could reach them' comment made Tsutsumi chuckle. "They're in a different universe and they're worried about the impossible? Each to their own."

"How do you wish to approach this discovery then?" ..came the voice of Lady Urd, another homeworld-body. Tsutsumi blinks and looks at Urd to his rear in the Command Center of the Palace Tree. "I would think Lady Peorth would better handle this event. I focus on the military remember?"

"Someone is commenting on their own deliquencies now?" ..comes a second female voice, the aforementioned Lady Peorth, Second Foreign Advisor. "Might want to keep the same about others to themselves then." Peorth quips back. Urd giggles and Tsutsumi groans.

Peorth goes to the appropriate control level, two levels up, to the foreign advisory sector. After enough dessimination of the messages sent, Peorth decides on a message to send back to Outer Heaven.

She comments beforehand the message sent.. "Interesting name for their nation, given our own auspices."

:: ~ A belated and suprised greetings from the Alpha-verse to the nation of Outer Heaven. A solemn way to discover another nation not of this actual universe, with the closing of your borders.

Especially since we opened ours recently, despite the events we ourselves are embroiled in-upon. We however understand the need to look to your own affairs, and respect this decision until you decide otherwise.

Do note however, there will always be those that 'can' do what is mentioned as impossible. We had to learn this the hard way as well. We will however help in disuading others from proving your safety false, by words firstmost, and further if required. We respect that the Beta-verse is your own ground, and have catalouged as such in our archives.

We'll wait patiently for a time better to meet in first contact in the future, and wish you best in your affairs.

Honored Regards,

Lady Peorth Morisato

Ah, greetings, and thank you for your -ansmission. I personally thank you for your desire to help out. Merely making this known to as many Nations as possible for now is the -atest of help. We do realise there are other ways of getting to our N-on, but I assure you, if any form of FTL Vo-ex or Dimensional Event happens in our space, a Fleet will be dispatched to check out the disturbance.

For the matter of First C-act, I must admit I've he- of your Nation a great many times. If you were to give us your Dimensional Co-ordin-es, I will dispatch our only Superior -esentative in this Universe to greet you, and make...crczczczczczczcz.

*Signal dissolves into static*

*Four hours later*

Peorth was back in her office at the time the return signal was recieved by Ascendancy listening comm-stations. She was as puzzled by the broken up nature of the message as the aides and Techs that had seen the message prior.

Peorth held the Padd with the said message, commenting to herself. "Nice time for them to send back something like this." ..she then read the probable difficulties noted suddenly. Cross universal distances, subspace medium disturbances. Interference of other kinds.

Possibly Infernal interference as well. Reasons replete.

Peorth leans back in her seat and considers how to send a response. She also considered a show of 'clarity' in the next transmission. She smiles and leans forward to press a comm-button on her desk. "Section. Prepare this return statement to the Beta-verse. Use the Hikari network to boost signal gain so we're not as static in reception."

":: Aye milady. ::' ..came back in a male anglo voice. Peorth then begins in turn.

:: ~ We managed to understand enough of your signal to nod to your respect. If there was further we miss in understanding due to the interference due in probable part of cross universal communication, please respond in kind after this message.

Meanwhile, your learning of us should be equalized, since we know so little of your nation in turn. Of our part, our Excellency and much of the Royal Family is away on personal business, but our senior aide-de camp, Advisor Tsutsumi Kamiki has already voiced his wish to meet you, and has authority to conduct a first contact meeting.

The coordinates of White Diamond/Sapphire are being included in this transmission, which lies inner-core deep within the Archonis Supercluster, which we also govern. Please come when you are able. We'll discuss further at that time. Do note we are at war with the Infernal forces themselves, so please come with an escort if you do come.

We will await further until then.

Further Regards,

OOC: Just to be clear, the message has been transmitting for at least a year. You only just discovered it.

From: Tau Sigma System

Greetings Lady Peorth Morisato,

I am afraid that due to some Subspace fluctuations in the area, I must keep this message short to ensure complete intactness of this message. We intercepted the message you attempted to send to my masters a little over two days ago, on a rebound signal.

I seek audience with you and your superiors as soon as possible. I am afraid I cannot disclose my reasons over this message, but I assure you the implications of what I show you may be dire.

Awaiting your transmission,

Admiral Lance Bernard,
Commander of the Tau Sigma Outpost and the Royal Third Fleet

((OC- Hence why I mentioned the comm-orbs. Been using them in a few rps now, being a highly efficient communication repeater system to shorten communication times exponentionally, even across entire universes. But I'll extend the reception time, though only by a day at most.

The Gaians understood the concept of epic-scale communications a long time ago, due to it's nature as a trans-dimensional civilization. Having to rely on standard communication properties was an insane proposition in the first place, so the Gaians learned to break down that barrier as soon as they could. (certainly was one of Washu's goals..)

One of the dimensionalized aspects my nation took upon to become a highly-effective good-guy nation. And no I don't do all this to attack other nations. Most of my wars are NPC in nature or TGed in advance anyway. =^^= ))

*two weeks later*

The trip to Japan was over, it seemed business as usual in the Ascendancy. Far from however. However things were changing in vectors diametric that even the Abh, Zetans and others would expect.

Council was in session when the next signal was recieved by the Ascendancy listening posts. A large screen of planets in the Outer Rim Galaxies of the Archonis Supercluster, taking signals coming in from all sources both mortal plane and from the Heavenly Planes. Due to Sphere interest further with the Beta-verse, Angelic sources were focused more upon the signals from the Outer Heaven realm specifically.

What came back was read aloud in the chamber, and raised a few eyebrows.

"Dire is not a word used lightly I would think." ..coming from the Excellency himself. Lady Seto, sitting across the very large council table, comments. "The change in tone from closing borders, to almost one for help, if it can be interpreted as such, would enter the realm of direct conventions."

First Lady Excellency Tsunami asks. "We already are preparing for Operation Vast I, should we be careful in what resources are needed, if it comes to such?"

Aleaic, said Excellency responds. "We'll see what exactly is the definition of dire here." Looking to Seto and Peorth.. "..please ensure they are welcome to come at once. Also inform if we have permission to place a dimensional gate at the edge of their space, to shorten the transit time in the same measure.

Whatever they wish for help, I want to know now. Not later."

Seto, one well able to turn Aleaic on his own dime, this time acts without question. A simple pair of nods and both head off to Command Central. At that, Aleaic asks next.. "Now.. about those Dark Eternals...."

---

The next message is as informed. Permission to come at once, as well as permission for the Gate for travel purposes only. The Gaians of course didn't know if Outer Heaven's forces had equal Fold Jump capability, especially across universal Barriers. Better safe than sorry.

The Gaians also prepared a new Gate at the edge of dual planets Topazic A & B, at the sixth orbit of the White Diamond Star System. It could all be useful later if trust and trade was enhanced upon later.

Now all the Gaians could do was wait. They had other plans to enact in the meantime.

OOC: Yeah, but what I meant was that the beacon has been up for over a year when this happens. Perhaps you only got a reply recently to a transmission you sent a while ago? Anyway, it'll help make the scale of what I have planned seem believeable.

IC: To: The Origin of the Signal from the Gaian Ascendancy

Message recieved with great thanks. Will be there in a matter of hours. Do not require gate, we can traverse Subspace using ship drives.

Will arrive at the source of your previous message. Thank you again.
