woah, nice, but where are the zoltans and the rebels fighting over the right to speak to them first LOL
As the Scarab and the Pelican were in chats with one another, hiding out in the clouds, two ships had jumped into the area in the meantime, also oblivious to each other's presence before jumping again.
Perhaps they were just smugglers or maybe it was a more... hostile force.

There you go :P

"... and that's why I wasn't allowed in the arboretum after that incident" Lux had just finished explaining to Bren about one of her childhood mishaps on a starship her father served on.
"Thats nothing how about the time me and some slaves stole the porn movies and threw them out the airlo- woah hold on we got some people coming into the area" he said getting upright in his seat

"Wait you were the one who took all the porn holo vids?" Gorlag asked

"When I was young, I'd get into fights with my brothers" Eden said "I'd always win too... even when all eight of them teamed up at the same time"
She laughed "That's probably why I became a longshoreman... lots of travel away from the chaotic mess and your strength can still be appreciated."
"So managing your crew is just like keeping your brothers in line?" Lux asked
"It's funny how the universe works like that and I..."
"I think some ships had just passed through here recently... like in the past few minutes" Lux said "It's hard to tell with these sensors"
"Well we just found some sensor components in that Rebel scout we salvaged; but I think we should wait until we are in a much clearer part of this sector before integrating them"

Bren charged up the railgun just in case

I'll mention the hostile jumping here in my next post. For now I just wanted to interact with these guys, a little.

Meanwhile, Sarah used the ansible to signal the Robin and Pelican to proceed.

About 5 minutes of dead silence, before the radio crackled to life. On a low band frequency, a scratchy transmission came in. Sarah immediately ran the audio through the translation matrix and played it back for Jake.

"This is the Federal Extraterrestrial Communications Unit, calling unidentified vessel"

Then, another transmission, from another continent. "This is Pagfway Space Administration calling unidentified vessel."

Another location sent out a signal

"The country of Tashrista is the dominant country on this planet. We will not let you invade or overpower us. We will defend ourselves"

Yet another signal
"Greetings unidentified vessel. The Sambia Observatory welcomes you to our planet, on behaf of all Tazins"

And then, another location.

"This is the International Intellegence Agency attempting to communicate with the unidentified vessel. We mean you no harm,"

And still, another

"The Navalakada High Command welcomes you to our location with open arms."

Even more

"The country of Javasta deems you a threat. We will defend ourselves from your dangers"

Jake could see he had his work cut out for him. Jake decided to broadcast to the organization that deemed itsself "international." It seemed to be the best option.

"This is Captain Jake Collins of the starship Mature, commander of the United Rogue Union. We come in peace and pose no threat to your people. I have decided to contact this organization of your planet with no prior knowledge of your culture, only because you call yourself 'international.' I do not want to side with any political structure on your planet, we want to remain neutral."

The voice on the radio was quivering with excitement.
"Yes! This is the International Intellegence Agency, you are correct in assuming that we are international. We are a collection of multiple countries of this world. We are so honored that you have chosen to communicate with us, and we are welcome to your presence."

"Thank you!" Jake said. "We are... Eager to know more about your culture and society. Requesting permission to land."

As soon as Jake said the word 'land,' the guy on the radio made a little yipping noise. "Yes, I assume you can triangulate our position based on our transmissions."

"Correct. I am the flagship of a union of three ships, representing a multi-species organization. I am going to await the arrival of my commrads, before I proceed to your location,"

"So... There are... More extraterrestrial species?"

This statement made Jake's eyes water a little. Everyone on this planet was so oblivious.... SO oblivious...

"We are a multi-species crew, yes."

Kyrie heard the exchange between the many countries and Jake. "Umm... I'm not sure this is a good idea, Jake. I don tell think we know how to handle first contact. We could really mess something up."

"Avoid first contact and let the Slugs... or god forbid, Rebels get to 'em first?" Jake asked. "I don't think so!"

Edit:

Speaking of which, two ships jumped into the beacon. One a Rebel, and another a Slug. They almost bumped into each other in the nebula, and they quickly began to fire upon one another. Neither ship had the advanced sensors Jake had, so they didn't detect the populated moon - or even the planet from their distance. The jump beacon was simply too far from the planet & its moon.

This is why I'm doing first contact. The beacon is so far away and this planet is so shrouded in nebula - how could anyone detect it, except me? Jake thought. Other than a ship happening to blunder past, no present day ship could detect this civilization. That's why the've been safe all these years. Bad sensors, a nebula, and a poorly positioned Jump Beacon

The Slug and Rebel almost bumped into each other, before they launched into an all-out war. The Slug ship was torn to shreds, and the Rebel ship was quite damaged. The Rebel ship collected debris from the blast zone, when suddenly, it turned and headed for Jake.

Damn! They can't detect this god damned planet, but they can detect me??? Jake thought. Jakes energy signature must've been easily detected. So even though no one had ever detected this moon, they detected Jake!

Jake watched in horror as the Rebel ship approached, finally detecting the moon near Jake. I may be first contact... Jake thought, watching the orange ship emerge from the clouds. But you sure as hell won't be second...

The as the Rebel caught up to Jake, the planet signaled below.

"Is this your commrade?" They asked.

Without a response, Jake powered on weapons and tore the Rebels to shreds, before their weapons even finished charging.

"No," Jake whispered to no one as the Rebels broke apart.

Signals came in from below:

"What was that? You people are violent and destructive! Do not land here!"

"We want nothing to do with you. You're weapons pose a threat to our entire world,"



The international agency came in:

"We demand an explanation of this destruction!"

Jake supposed he should respond, "I represent the United Rogue Union, we are allied with the United Federation of Planets. We're the good guys. Those are the Rebels, they are a galactic empire bent on destruction and galactic domination,"

"We... we don't have a policy to deal with this..." The poor guy on the radio sounded so helpless with those words. We will hold an emergency meeting with our representatives. "

"If the Rebels had found you, they would've destroyed you!" Jake said desperately.

The agency ended transmission.

Over with Bren and co (and seriously Eye for the last time my ship is the SCARAB LOL the Robin is dead now)

"Whoever those two ships were they passed us, maybe they didn't know who we were and didn't want to mess with us" he said unaware that they had went over to Jake.

"Well that's not good." Kyrie looked out at the moon below. "I hope they don't get the wrong idea. They're probably so confused about everything now. I hope they let us come down and explain."

The Pelican shortly jumped to the beacon after the all-clear was given. "Well we did choose some thick clouds to hide behind" Eden suggested to Bren "They'd have no idea what was behind them, best not to find out with laser fire in case it turns out to be a hostile space station or something."

As the cargo hauler flew towards the Mutare, the sensors picked up the small debris fields of both hostile ships. Eden and Lux were then relayed the transmissions. "First contact huh?" Eden remarked "Normally I'd say let someone else handle it but considering what's going on, I don't see how crazy cannibals couldn't make it any worse."
"There was an episode of Captain Awesome that did indeed have a hostile First Contact scenario like this..." Lux commented. "It ended with the planet not joining the Federation though because the more hostile societies overthrew the nice guys."

"I wonder how they would react to the species you humans call Alien" Bren said, "Then again we did have a first contact with the crystal and that went well" he said

'Thats because we are mostly peaceful, we prefer the pursuit of knoweldge rather then combat. We didn't becoming combative till after the start of the Wars with the Metal Eaters" Ruwen explained

"Really huh, philosphers and thinkers, Zoltan history is like that too, when our species develouped space travel we were defensive all the way, prefering to talk things out rather than fight, at least thats what I read when I was schooled"

"Right because you are a former slave you don't know your heritage" Ruwen said, Gorlag frowned a bit

"don't need to know to know my path, punishing slavers and pirates" He said chuckling a bit
