The 1st officer seemed rather nervous however he had to ask anyway " Soooooo captain; are you sure this is a good idea? I mean we've never really been outside out own territory. " Captain Richard didn't seem to concerned with what his 1st officer had to think at this moment. " You know, this is the 1st time we've ever been outside our meager 20 lightyears of territory. I really feel its time if we find out whats really out there, we know other races exist, however its been nearly 100 years since we have had the ability to travel faster than life. We've spent tons of resources building a navy, but for what? To sit by Cranberry and run drills? " The captain decided it was time to give the bridge crew a little pep talk. He walked out onto the bridge " You see Jenkins, this ship! This great ship built just to explore, of course the fact its a battleship could be taken the wrong way, however its the fastest and toughest ship we have, helm increase speed to warp 8. "

The NNS Ricochet was indeed a impressive peirce of machinery, purpose built to be able to handle most enemy warships, it was also purpose built to be able to travel in speeds excess of warp 9, while most ships from the Cranberry Federation have trouble breaking warp 5. Its mission was clear, to make 1st contact with another intelligent species. However, the crew, being very xenophobic none of the crew thought it would be a good idea, this could prove to be very interesting.

The ship cruised along several thousand times the speed of light, waiting for someone to make to say something, anything.


OOC: Yeah you might be thinking another Star Trek Tech nation, but I don't like focusing on tech to start with, this is open. Think of the ship as the NX-01 From Enterprise, being a trek fan I just cant help myself.

OOC: A Trekkie fan. How sad.
IC: A Battleship (http://swsv.swcombine.com/other/taskforce.jpg) traveled slowly along, near the rim of an unknown star system. "Begin running scans." the Captain ordered. "We've detected a ship, sir. Going at sub light speeds, though still fast. Orders?" "Watch and wait."

OOC: A Trekkie fan. How sad.
IC: The 2ed Exploritory fleet traveled slowly along, near the rim of an unknown star system. "Begin running scans." the Captain ordered. "We've detected a ship, sir. Going at sub light speeds, though still fast. Orders?" "Watch and wait."

OOC: Wouldnt call me a trekkie, I just watch the shows, i dont dress up like some werido and go to conventions, plus I find its great starter tech for tiny little ships, trust me I have alot more advanced stuff cookin, Ive been on here before, and I created all my own ships, I plan on doing it again. I was ECF, have not played in a long time tho. Also, Im pretty far away from my territory, about 15 lightyears ( not far I know, my old nation had ships that could scan up to 85 ly ). This is just an intro, no combat.

IC: A unknown ship was detected on the ships sensors, the oops officer brought this infomation to the captain, who decided that it was time to slow things down a bit. " Drop To impulse, yellow alert, give me a scan of that ship! "

" Sir, scans are comming back unknown, it appears to be armed, with what Im not sure, I would not reccomend a engagement, this ship wasnt made just for combat, if the NNS Republic was here I wouldnt worry, I say we make freinly greetings, sending greating now "

OOC: Sorry, I just tend to look down on people who use Star Trek tech. Glad to hear you have other ships and tech. Welcome back. See my Factbook if you want more info.
The Xiscapians are humanoid, and, at first glance, look human. This is not the case. Though they resemble humans in nearly every way, they have fox tails and ears, their regular ears are pointed, they have longer and sharper canines then a human has. They also have yellow eyes, many different colors of hair, including green, purple, and blue. They are much faster and more graceful then any human could ever hope to be, and are deadly in hand-to-hand combat. They can also see in the dark. Just as a Terran would call himself or herself human, Xiscapians call themselves Kitsune. Every Xiscapian from the age of adulthood (20) has a katana sword. These are either hand forged by the person’s clan, everyone having a part in it, a forging master, or the Xiscapian themselves. Everyone, from schoolteacher to military grunt to chef carries one of these at all times. The katana’s sheath identifies the Xiscapians clan, social status, and, if in the military, rank. The katana is also used in battle.
The Captain, an Xiscapian named Kimp, stood on the bridge. His XO spoke. "They don't seem to be hostile. Shall I call in the rest of the fleet?" "Yes, do so and send a standered protocal message."
The rest of the fleet, 4 Crusiers(Water, Earth, Air, Fire) , 2 Destroyers(Starfire, Inescapable), 1 Carrier(Xeno), and one Medical ship(Gem) burst into existance.
Greetings, unknown ship. We are the Xiscapians. Do you ally yourselves with the Forces of Chaos or the IoM?

OOC: hmm been a while since i've seen a Trekie. And some meta-humans for the slaughter, this will be interesting/tag post coming.

Ship Master Kano Tirlannee stood on the bridge of his Devotion Class Destroyer. The Sangheili is short for his race, standing only 7 and a half feet tall, had been ridiculed since birth for his small stature. His ship was equiped with Faster-than-light senors. When the ship sensors picked a vessel moving many times faster than light, was picked up speeding through the remote system. this would be my chance for glory. Tirlannee thought. He was about to send a report to the Fleetmaster a few systems away when two ships entered the system. He hailed the Unknown ships in his native toungue.

We are the servants of the gods. Indentify yourselves tresspassers

"New comm incoming." said the XO.
We are the servants of the gods. Indentify yourselves tresspassers

A thousand aplogies. We did not realise that we were within any nation's boundries. We are the Xiscapians. What Gods do you serve?

OOC: hmm been a while since i've seen a Trekie. And some meta-humans for the slaughter, this will be interesting/tag post coming.

OOC: Trust me, the East Coast Federation ( me ) made some crazy stuff. And I will have some laying around back at home, this trek ship is just an explorer, there is a small fleet of more advaced stuff made up by me. IC comming soon, talking to the women.

OOC:good. I would hate to end up fighting a lame duck.(1010102=me)and Xiscapia, that was sent in the language of the Sangheili, so how would you know how to translate it?

OOC: We have excellent translators? Are you trying to make it so I don't understand?

OOC: but how would they be able to translate something you've never heard before?

OOC: I had a talk with the mods, the ECF may be showing up once again, until then consider these guys a small ECF scout. You might end up seeing some good ECF tech in this RP, im sure youlll be impressed.

IC:

" Captain, we're getting several hails from ships around us, most of it is garabled. And some of these people are getting a bit rowdy, I suggest we call for Fleet Admiral Willing, he might be 400 lightyears away, but he can be here in a second "

The captain seemed nervous, even though the fleet was only a call away, this ship isnt desined to take anything, He gave an order " transmit a happy greeting message to all ships, we do not mean harm and would like to communicate, and send a alert message to the Fleet Admiral, Starfleet Code 1, lets wait and see what happens "

OOC: but how would they be able to translate something you've never heard before?
OOC: Hmm, good point.
IC: The Captain mused. "Our transmissions don't seem to be getting though, and our databanks don't I.D. the ship as any we've seen before. Try the other ship.
The following transmission was sent to the NNS ship:
Greetings, we are the Xiscapians. We mean you no harm, we are peaceful. We wish to send a diplomat aboard your ship to speak to the Captain. Do you find this acceptable?
This was said in Xiscapian, and then in Basic.
