A man walks onto the stage clad in a full white robe. Around him are several armed guards. He steps up to the mike and begins to speak.

“My fellow countrymen the time has come, our ships are complete and fueled. Our destination is set. Now is the time to pack. To bring only that which is good and wholesome, It is time to throw down our ties to this hateful, evil world plagued my sin and suffering. We shall rise up into the heavens. Into the stars that god has given us. And there we shall dwell in perfect harmony. Without pain or suffering, sin or hatred, without ridicule or torture. This god hating wold is behind us and now we are free.”

The man steps away from the mike to a loud applause. Another man steps up.

“Let us now board our mayflower!” he shouts and all the people turn as the back wall of the huge building slides away. Revealing a huge ship, big enough to hold 1 million people. The second speaker continues. “This is the first of our 5 ships. All identical, all perfect with no flaws. And you are the first to leave this condemned planet and enjoy the faith fully.” This man steps back and he, the first speaker and the guards head towards the door. While other uniformed soldiers usher the patient people into the wondrous ship.

After everyone was loaded up as well as the cargo the crew began the launch preparations, a Navigational officer sitting at a computer was busy typing away, while the captain sat, white knuckled, in his seat. Julius Maxims had always hated the first flight of a new ship. It worried him even more because of its size. He knew that he had some of the best officers that his nation could offer but that didn’t help to ease his worry. When the countdown began he stood up even though the rest of his crew hurried to strap in. It seemed to help his anxiety if he could pace. And he liked the momentary loss of gravity. At ten the countdown stopped and the ships thrusters could be heard slowly lifting the ship out of the planet’s grasp. “Sir we have reached the atmosphere,” said Cory Magus, the ships Terrascientist, while starring at the small readout at his station. “Estimated time till we hit 0 Gee is 10 minutes” “Thank you Cory.” The captain held on to his chair and waited.

A small ping over the loud speaker sounds that they had reached zero gravity. The Captain floated above his chair positioning himself above it just right so that when the artificially gravity came on he would land in it with no injury. Another ping accompanied with a small thud went throughout the bridge as the gravity returned. “Alright enter hyperspeed and head towards our coordinates. Lets just hope no one is there already.”

(OOC: If anyone wants they can own the planet we arrive at or be some ship to see us exit hyperspace.)

((I'd like to take the spot, but I'm a bit tired right now. If I don't reply by tomorrow, someone else can take the spot.))

The Third Exploratory Fleet commanded by Adm. James Wallace was investigating Area 92B6, when a droid transmitted to him the message. "Incoming vessels at hyperspeed. Transport. Unidentified country of origin. Low Threat."

Adm. Wallace pronounced on the ship's communication system. "Alright people. Get your drones and droids a-working. We got visitors. We do not percieve a threat from them, but radar tells us there are five of them, and they are very large. Let's give them a nice FRIENDLY, welcome. DO NOT ATTACK! Thank you, return to your posts."

Ship's Log, C.S.S. Voyager / Captain Kate Brown
Stardate 3877.6:
We are exploring system J-422, and discovered an uninhabited planet. It is the second planet in the system, and is class M, a perfect place for a new colony.

"Helm, take us into a low orbit," Captain Brown ordered. "Aye, aye ma'am," said the ensign. Brown then turned to her science officer. "Prepare the survey teams. See if you can find a sutable place for a new colony. I'll expect a full report at 21:00 hours." "Yes captain," replied the Lieutenant.

(ooc: My ship will be present when you arrive)

OOC: only one. This was the first launch. All the people needed to set up the colony and prepare for the other 4.

The ship came out of Hyperspace in front of their new home planet. Or at least that is what they thought. When the ships computer picked up several ships not there own they were worried. The next ship would be leaving in a year which meant they didn’t have a lot of time to go planet searching. The captain decided to try and be Friendly. “Hello strange vessels may God shine upon your planet forever. Where ever it may lie.”

"Captain! Unknown vessel just entered the system!" Captain Brown jumped out of her seat. "Looks like the Enterprise isn't the only ship that can make new friends. Open a channel," she ordered.

This is Captain Kate Brown of the Terren starship Voyager. We are on a peacefull survey mission of this planet. Please respond.

This is Captain Julius Maxims; we have come from a distant planet to this one which God has shown to us. We are here to colonize it.

"We currently have survey teams on the planet looking for sites for starting a colony. I'm sending the coordinites of Sites 1-7. They are on the Northern-most continent, which is mostly forests and grasslands. Do you require any additional assistance?

Not as of yet but we would like your nation to create an embassies on our land wherever you like.

“Okay, Bring the ships down at those coordinates. I will go assemble an exploration team to scout out the place.” The ship's thrusters were started again as the ship began to descend to their homeland.

OOC: I am planning something special for the third launch.

Understood. Are survey team will send you all the data they have gathered on your landing site. I will have to contact StarFleet Command before any ambassadors can be sent. Voyager out.

Kate Brown sat down in her command chair. "Communications. Send a complete report of our encounter to Command. Inform them that we will still survey the planet for our own colony. And call back our scoutship from the 3rd planet. We'll need their scanners." "Yes, ma'am," the lieutenant replied.

The ship set down and the exploration team was sent out. While they were gone the construction workers and foresters set out to make the clearing bigger and set up a basic town. Lieutenant Golo Vigor was set in charge of the operation and was currently speaking with an architect and a cartographer.

“What shall we name our new city?” he asked the cartographer.

“Well” replied the cartographer ”we seem to be on a cliff that drops off at the north and we are surrounded by forest. I think we should call it Scogliera”

“excellent” Golo turned to the architect. “How are the plans for the city?”

“Very well” said the architect as he spread out the plans. "So far we have enough space on this cliff for our star shape. It can accommodate 300,000 with our current materials, I am afraid though that the rest will have to move to another spot. When the exploration team returns I will decide where.”

Bridge

Interesting. We seem not the only ones to have choosen to enter this star system for one reason or another. How is the Phase Cloak holding?

Cloak is fully operational.

Decloak and send out a general message.

By your command.

Exterior

The dark form of the Scout (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10400437&postcount=6) shimmered into existance. As was usual with Ha Dum ships, it would be invisible on passive sensors and only show up as a void the size and shape of the craft on active sensors. This was one of the unique side-effects of the Photonium used for construction.

Messages

Broadcast to all craft:

We are here to chart this system. State your purposes for being here.

"Captain," said the comm officer. "New orders from Command. We are to hold station in this system until the Apollo arrives with an ambassador." "Thank you Lieutenant," replied Captain Brown. "When the scoutship Mayfield arrives, begin scanning the planet for additional sites for a new colony."

Adm. Wallace witnessed first the ship coming out of hyperspeed, and then the decloaking of a scout vessel. Both messages he recieved.

To the Hyperspeed Vessel:

"This is Admiral James Wallace of the Almodite Imperial Third Expedition Fleet, under orders from His Majesty, King James V of Almohed. We do not pose a threat to you. We are here to simply explore, and expand our maps. Please identify yourself."

To the Scout Vessel:

"This is Admiral James Wallace of the Almodite Imperial Third Expedition Fleet, under orders from His Majesty, King James V of Almohed. We are here to expand our maps, and to explore. Please identify yourself."

Bridge

Interesting.

We did start this by broadcasting our first message.

I know. The Shadows Ha Dum will become as well known as the Shadows of Z'Ha'Dum, only for different reasons.

True, the Creators do not see themselves as gods as the Others do.

Send a response.

By your command.

Messages

In response to the Almohed message:

This is a Scout of Ha Dum. The Creators sent us to this Galaxy to check up on what they left behind when the moved to the Galaxy in which they created us.

OOC: Sorry about that. Three of us are currently using this comp.

OOC: Curtesy bump.
