"Sounds like a plan," the colonel replied. "However, I sadly cannot accompany you on this one. I'm the head of CCLA, and my jurisdiction is on Utalia alone. OIA are the ones to talk to about this, and luckily for you there's a few who want to speak with you right now."

He then turned, and resumed his original route.

"Yeah, it seems I'll be stuck here, but my crew can handle it," Fiske replied as the man left.

The colonial stopped when he realized Fiske wasn't following him. He turned around and said, "Well don't just stand around all day, we've got work to do!"

K2 · « **Reply #203 on:** March 20, 2012, 10:36:45 PM »

"Oh, right!" Fiske replied, running off to follow the colonel.

OOC: Sorry, Apathy attack

"Now, fair warning, it may be days before anything really happens once I hand you over to them," the Colonel said as they walked.

"That's quite alright," Fiske said, smiling, before a small beep went off on his communicator. Pulling it out of his pocket, he glanced down at the message that was printed clearly on his screen, silently reading the words, "OPERATION MAY BE COMPROMISED. HOW SHOULD I PROCEED?"

Smiling, Fiske typed back, "Eliminate the leak."

He put the communicator back in his pocket and kept walking.

As they walked down the hall, they met a man in a dark suit with dark glasses. He pressed his ear, then said, "The Outershadow is here."

He then walked up to Fiske, then said, "Pleased to meet you Mr Tyrus, my name is Smiht. I am a representative from the Outer Intelligence Agency."

K2 · « **Reply #207 on:** April 13, 2012, 03:41:27 PM »

"It's a pleasure," he replied, shaking Smiht's hand.

"It's good to meet you and I'd love to do a proper questioning, but unfortunately due to recent events I am under order to keep things brief. So much is happening so fast, and to be quite Frank your background seems like it will be highly useful in many areas," Smiht said as they started walking away. "Now, can I get a confirmation, is there really space past the shadow, and if so how much is there beyond it?"

K2 · « **Reply #209 on:** April 13, 2012, 07:36:26 PM »

Fiske seemed shocked at this question. He knew that these people were, well, literally in the dark, but he had no idea that they were truly this... Closed off. To not even know if there was life outside their planetary orbit? Remarkable. Then, Fiske realized, this was the first alien contact they'd likely made since the Aser being they kept referring to visited. This would be a moment in history for their society. That was wonderful... Right?

"Yes," Fiske replied, "In fact, you are but a small dot in the grand scheme of things. Beyond your shadow, there are other planets in this solar system... That is, other planets which revolve around your sun. Beyond that, there are other suns out there, with planets that revolve around them. These solar systems make up this galaxy, the group of stars which are clustered together in this point of space. There are other points in space where clusters of stars lay, other galaxies, such as the one I'm from. Beyond that, there are other... Dimensions. Other places. Places with no space and stars at all."

OOC: Oops. I forgot they already knew about the other side of the shadow due to Sliph burning a temporary hole in it XD

Smiht wrote that down.

Then after a second, he asked, "Recently we were attacked by a creature, a being that seemed like a green bird. It had a great manipulation over fire, and then dropped some kind of plant into our system that rapidly grew to consume one of our moons. Do you have any idea what it could have been?"

K2 · « **Reply #211 on:** April 14, 2012, 02:13:50 PM »

"Yes, I was caught in the aftermath of the creature's attack. My ship was nearly destroyed. I am unaware of what it could be."

That was a lie. He felt as if the being might have been one of the Marid, he could feel it, sense it. The very description given, though, contradicted this assumption. Fiske had only gotten a glance at the creature... He did not dare mention that the attacker was possibly a trade partner of his empire. To do so would likely end relations with Helios right away. Instead, he merely smiled and fed the agent his lie.

Being from a world that was tied to emotion so heavily, and an agent of the law who had had his fair share of interrogations, Smiht immediately noticed something was up. The smile was just off, but Smiht knew there were other things to handle. He decided one more question on the subject, then asked it:

"What do you know of Niv?"

K2 · « **Reply #213 on:** April 30, 2012, 01:04:59 PM »

"Niv?" he asked, "Please clarify."

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #214 on:** April 30, 2012, 05:06:29 PM »

"The enemy of Aser, a black being with green wings is how he is believed to appear," Smiht responded. "Many of us don't really believe in Aser as a supreme creator, but those who do see him as the destroyer, the Anti-Aser if you will. However, from what I learned today, I would guess that he is a real figure somewhere in the universe."

K2 · « **Reply #215 on:** May 07, 2012, 03:15:34 PM »

"If Aser is indeed a... Who I think he is, then I would think this... Anti-Aser would be a follower of the one named Radical," Fiske replied, "I am very familiar with these followers. Very.... Difficult... People."

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #216 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:57:43 PM »

Well, that pretty much confirmed Smiht's suspision wrong: he was sudden;y full of doubt that Fiske was an agent of darkness.

"Alright then," he replied. "Do you have any idea what the A in the triangle is, or means?"

K2 · « **Reply #217 on:** May 08, 2012, 04:19:47 PM »

"I think it's a message. Some sort of calling card, to the coordinates that the A appeared from... Somebody wants you to... Um... Travel beyond the shadow, to a certain point in space, to meet them there."

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #218 on:** May 08, 2012, 08:24:06 PM »

"Alright then, do you know anything about where in the universe that is, or anything we should be weary about in that location?"

K2 · « **Reply #219 on:** May 17, 2012, 01:46:43 PM »

"I'm not sure how your ships work, when it comes to coordinates... Though, I suppose we could travel there in my ship. I'd be glad to take you... To find out what's going on. You, or whichever of your people might wish to go on your behalf," Fiske replied.

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #220 on:** May 30, 2012, 10:22:46 PM »

OOC: Well, skipping ahead a bit because this is taking so long

They talked and discussed and after it was approved by some very high officials, it was decided that they should follow Fiske's ship to the coordinates with some of their own ships. They thus headded out.
