Glory of Arcanis came firing out of a Hyper Space Gate, engines on full blast. This ship was a specialist diplomatic frigate, coloured a shining silver with massive bronze letters on the side detailing the name of the ship in Vionix Scripture. The ship sent out a wide burst hailing frequency to any Zarethian ships around although its scanners had already noted quite a few of them.
Aboard the ship, upon its bridge, stood one Miamore Cadenchi, an admiral and technical princess of the Vionix Empire although she rather hated that title. She was wearing formal regalia this day, a pair of iron grey and neatly pressed trousers with a matching dark grey shirt festooned in honours and medals from a lot of conflicts that she had engaged in. Her hair sat down however, the long white strands falling straight down her back to above her waist and in ringlets framing her face that fell to her shoulders while a fringe was brushed off to the side of her pale face. All in all, Miamore seemed extremely innocent looking, nothing like what an admiral should.
-
"Fleet Admiral on deck! On your feet sailors!" the Chief of the Ship announced as Aki Sora, the commander of the 3rd Fleet walked in. Her first day back after the Alpha event, and already she was prepared to resume her normal routine once more. "At ease." she commanded as the bridge personal went back to work.
The Command Sergeant Major escorted her across the massive control bridge of the flag ship titan, Kestrel. "What do we have?" she asked her Executive Officer.
"Well ma'am, we had to deploy a detachment of Marines to assist the Capitol Defense Sector.. Apparently the Hand have managed to start fighting something. Again." he said. "Ships from our expeditionary party arrived a few hours ago, and have sent the report to your terminal. Also.."
He was interrupted by an officer who ,yelled out, "Incoming contact! Unknown Classification!" he shouted.
"Bring it up on the big screen." Aki called to him as the read out and image shortly after appeared on the screen. "Is it one of ours?" she asked.
"Negative ma'am." he replied.
"Take it out." she ordered.
"Wait!" a communication officer yelled out. "Incoming Transmission. IFF Confirmed, Vionix Naval Vessel."
"Bring it up too." she ordered.
<<<Unknown Vessel, Identify yourself IMMEDIATELY>>>
-
"Well damn, ain't that a big ship" The Lieutenant in charge of sensor arrays whispered to himself although in the cramped bridge, all heard him and all nodded along as they realised that it was indeed, a damn big ship.
Miamore turned to the crew members and sighed "Shut down everything, we'll need to keep ourselves safe here" Those on the bridge quickly completed her orders and the Frigate drew itself to a halt in the dead of space, facing down the much larger ship.
Miamore shook her head slightly and nodded to the female in charge of communications who patched her through to the other ship. <<Zarethian Vessel, do not worry, we are not enemies here. This is the Vionix vessel Glory of Arcanis and we come in peace and hope for a chat with someone of high rank. Feel free to come upon and check the vessel before letting us dock, we understand and will submit to it>> Her voice, rather high in pitch although not lacking in authority would sound in the Zarethian vessel from the Vionix one that was sitting dead.
The rest of the Bridge Officers sighed softly and ran their hands through their hair, they had thought for a moment that their greeting code hadn't worked and that they were going to be shot down, thankfully that wasn't the case and they were all alive. "We should be a bit more careful next time" One of them said, Miamore could only nod in agreement as she waited on the transmission to return from the Zarethians.
-
"Ma'am, they've shut themselves down." another officer reported.
"Alright. Send another identification request." she ordered.
<<<Vessel, please identify your commander.>>>
"Have the Hand officer be on standby." Aki said.
-
The entire crew let out a sigh of relief as they weren't going to be blown into small pieces and Miamore readied the comms once more to answer the question posed to her.
<<The Commander of this Vessel is Fleet Admiral Miamore Cadenchi of the Vionix 3rd Fleet, may I inquire as to the commander of the vessel we are communicating with?>> Miamore looked over the crew and nodded to each member. Hopefully this would be a nice easy mission, no setbacks although luck was never in her favour, as much as she didn't know it.
-
"Run it." she ordered. The Hand agent working on the bridge quickly did a search in the database.
"Confirmed ma'am." he called back.
"Alright. Dock them, and see what they want. If need be, bring the Commander to the bridge." she commanded.
<<<Vessel, proceed on sent approach pattern to Hangar 13-B, Sub level Victor-Blue. After which, be prepared to be boarded by Marine security forces.>>>
-
Miamore crossed her arms over her chest and drummed her fingers against the white stripes of her shirt as she waited for a response.
"Admiral, we've been told to dock and prepare to be boarded, is that alright?" Her communications officer turned to her.
"Yes, follow the procedures and board, we'll present ourselves for boarding" Miamore reached up and brushed a stray lock of white hair out of her eyes.
<<We will be there shortly>> A message was sent back before the ship powered itself up and flew into the hangar bay of the titan and docked. Its engines shut down and the boarding ramps slammed down to the deck but none of the crew moved and just waited for the Marines to come in.
-
Several men dressed in fatigues, carrying the standard Zarethian Assault Riffle came in. The last one in quickly went up to the Admiral and saluted. "Captain Gary Houser. Zarethian Marine Corp. I've been told to escort you to the bridge."
he said
-
Miamore twirled a ringlet around her finger as she waited for the Marines to come. Sure enough, a few moments later and the captain saluted to her, she snapped her own back and nodded. "Thank you Captain, lead the way and I shall follow."
"Ma'am, would you not like protection?" One of the deck officers asked her, looking rather worried.
"Don't worry lieutenant, I am quite able to protect myself. Now let us go Captain" She waved him forwards to lead the way and would walk behind him as soon as he started to walk.
-
After a somewhat lengthy ride on the rail system inside the Titan, they arrived at the Bridge. "This way ma'am." Houser instructed. As they approached the entrance, the doors opened up into a huge control room. The ceiling stood more than 50 feet high, and control areas littered the place. On the opposite side of the room, one could see a captain's chair facing a large screen, which was currently being used as an observation screen.
Houser quickly led her through the multitude of bridge personal who were hard at work ensuring the safety of the home world. they arrived at the chair, and Houser stopped. "Ma'am... This is Fleet Admiral Cadenchi of the Vionix Empire." he announced.
The chair spun around to show the one and only, Fleet admiral Aki Sora sitting with her hands folded in deep though. She eyed Miamore for a moment and then nodded. Houser rushed off as she did. "Its not every day that i get to meet another woman of such high rank." Aki said. She got up from her chair and approached Miamore. "Fleet Admiral Aki Sora, Commander of the 3rd Zarethian Naval Fleet." she introduced herself, and slightly bowed.
-
The Vionix Admiral was silent throughout the entire transit, just looking over every aspect of the ship to see if she could see anything strange or new. She found a few interesting things but hopefully she would get to inspect things a bit more when she had been looked over and given clearance. Hopefully this won't take long, Cadenchi thought with a slight scowl but she hid it from Houser.
Upon stepping onto the bridge, she looked around and smiled, noting how similar it seemed to Vionix vessels which was rather strange. Although the seat in the middle looked rather normal compared to the Holo-Fields that were upon the Vionix ships. The Admiral followed Houser over to the chair and then waited as it turned around.
When Miamore laid eyes upon the Fleet Admiral, she couldn't help but smile at the fact that she seemed rather young as well. Miamore herself seemed no more than 18 and very innocent looking with her long ringlets framing her face and her pale face and wide eyes. "It is quite a pleasure to see that other races accept females. I've seen many sexist races before." Miamore let off a quiet giggle and smiled to Aki before bowing back. "Fleet Admiral Miamore Cadenchi, Commander of the 3rd Vionix Combat Fleet" She responded to the title and stood up. "Although, you may know me as Miamore, my rank does get somewhat tedious after a while."
-
"Quite..." Aki responded. "We dont see many ladies, especially ones of our age, i assume you are considered young by your race's standards." she said. "Please take a seat Miamore." Several officers ran up behind Miamore with a chair. Aki did seem happy today. This being her first day back, the fact that the bridge personal weren't acting like complete idiots today, and the meeting of another female admiral, and one so young, probably added to it all.
Aki herself was young looking, but not as young as Miamore. However, Aki could never really pull off the innocent look... she had too large of a reputation to even try it. She had more of a determined look, and was a woman of direction, at least on the job she was.
-
"You would be quite correct darling." She said to Aki as she sat down, not even realising she was already using a pet name for her. "I am one of the youngest to captain a ship in the Empire and I believe the youngest to obtain admiralty." Miamore tossed her hair back over her shoulders and crossed one leg over the other, sitting back in the chair with an innocent smile on her face, she seemed to just ooze innocence despite being a rather respected and almost feared Admiral.
The Vionix Admiral seemed rather happy as well and she rested her hands together in her lap before talking again. "It is quite refreshing to meet another female of the same rank, it just goes to show how small this universe really can be. So, Aki, tell me about yourself, I have time." All of a sudden, getting it over and done with quickly didn't matter to Miamore, she was more interested in talking to Aki.
-
"Well, I was born during the Zarethian Migrant Era, a time when we had no planet to call home and wandered the universe in a migrant fleet. I am the only female to have achieved the 5-star rank, since the admiralty was almost exclusive to males until the last 100 or so years." She explained after she had taken her own seat. "However, i do suspect that my parents had something to do with it. I am technically royalty, so my family has historically been well off. The last name Sora is pretty well known around the planet as a result i suppose." she said with a slight sense of amusement.
"How about yourself?" Aki asked.
-
"I am the daughter of the Emperor so I am also royalty although I was never given anything on a silver platter. I didn't want to get it easy and since a young age I trained whenever I could, nothing else mattered other than training and learning. My Father had too much to do so I spent most of my time amongst soldiers and fleet officers until I became of age and enlisted instantly. It still wasn't easy though to become what I was but I got there and everyone respected me for it which is good, there still weren't many female admirals though, most females became engineers or snipers." She smiled and looked around the room before returning her gaze to Aki. "Is there anything else you wish to know, Aki? I'm a sucker for being questioned."
-
"Well, there is that question of why you are here. I dont mean to be so direct, but like i said. It isnt evey day that an admiral from another empire comes to visit."
-
"I thought we would get to that. To be perfectly honest I was ordered to come here to try and talk to you about the Anrufe and see what could be done, although the Narrikians are doing well enough at talking to people and enlisting them. I was more told to parley and get questions answered" She sighed and ran a hand through her hair, causing her fringe to fall down over one of her crimson eyes.
-
"Of course. The Anrufe are a troublesome bunch. They are quite a notorious terrorist cell." she said. She sat back and crossed her legs, but continued to remain eye contact with Miamore. "By all means, please ask anything."
-
"I can tell, the Vionix have already fought them off once already and took one of their fighters for our own. They'll return though and we were wondering if you'd like to join us in fighting them." She paused for a moment and her smile dropped to a smirk. "And maybe, if you're free sometime Aki, we could go for dinner? It isn't often that people quite as alike as us meet up." She covered her mouth, by goodness she hadn't meant to say that out loud. "Oh my..." She whispered and blushed, her gaze instantly snapping to the ground and her hair falling to cover her scarlet cheeks.
-
"Of course. The 3rd Fleet will be more than willing to assist the Vionix Empire." she said. When asked about dinner, Aki slightly blushed and returned a smile. "I'd be honored to Admiral." she replied. "Im free tonight." she added.
-
Miamore was stunned at yes to both accounts and she looked up. Crimson cheeks and crimson eyes looked out from behind a snow white fringe and she smiled. "Well then, I suppose that we'll have to arrange something then. I wasn't planning on staying for long, so maybe you could help me arrange something for me and my crew?" She cocked her head to the side and finally brushed her fringe away from her face, it was getting slightly irritating and making her seem far too innocent and young.
-
"Of course. Housing arrangements will be made for your men." she said and glanced over to one of her officers who proceeded to run and make them. "The DSS will make sure to provide suitable protection for yourself and your officers as well."
-
"I thank you on behalf of my officers Aki, it really does mean a lot." She reached up and slid a hand onto her ear before sending a triplet of comm blips to her ship, this was an all-clear code. "So Aki, I know nothing about the place we are. So I need to know, will you pick me up or will I come and get you?" She smirked and rested an elbow on her knee before resting her pale head on her hand. The Vionix's eyes locked onto the Zarethian's and they showed a slight amount of amusement.
-
"Well i dont know..." Aki responded with the same amount of amusement in her tone. "I'll send a car." she responded. "Oh, and be sure to put those DSS Agents to work. They'll get anything you need."
-
Miamore stood up and ran a hand through her hair, still smirking. "Don't you worry Aki, I will put them to work but now I need to see to my crew and I'll be awaiting my car." She turned and walked to the door before stopping and looking back. "One other question, darling. Should I wear a dress?" She raised an eyebrow and cocked her hips out to the side.
-
"Of course." Aki replied playfully. "But dont make yourself too uncomfortable." she added before Houser escorted Miamore back to the hangar.
-
"Don't you worry Aki, I'll be just fine in a dress." Miamore giggled as she was led away and upon returning to the hangar bay, she pecked Houser on the cheek and went off into the ship to tell her crew where they were staying and what exactly they were going to do on their short stay in Zarethian space.
