The DAIS outpust nearest Providence would be engulfed in a Silence Field, cutting off communication. Dozens of Frigates would appear around it and open fire with rail guns, missiles and all sorts of ammunition. They would destroy this station and make sure it stayed destroyed when they were finished.  In fact, a EMP Bomb would be beamed onto the station set to go off in 5 seconds after it was beamed. This should cripple the defenses of the station to some degree.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

The station itself was unaffected due to the overshield around, and inside it.

<<<dispatch fleet. DAIS outpost: Charlie-124>>>
<<Dispatching MI3 Battlegroup>>

Several MI3 ships arrived to investigate the station.

The Narrikian ships would have left when they intercepted the transmission, but have left behind a strange red cylinder that was blinking. It was like several dozen nukes all rolled into one and had 3 seconds before it would explode.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

These nukes would once again, not affect them. Their OSs absorbed them.

Destiny's Hope dropped out of FTL and began broadcasting a message to the listening device.

<Message>
This is the Destiny's Hope. We would like to meet with the DAIS on behalf of the Academy. Please respond.

"Now the waiting game."

"So what do we do now?" Zane asked.

"We wait." Mark answered. He looked over at Logan as he stood up really fast. "Whats wrong?"

"Our ship. Are ship is NNE. That isn't good. This could give them the wrong idea." Logan stated.

"Relax, I'm the director of the Academy. I wasn't selected because I was stupid. I know how to dance at the negotiation table." Zane said.

"Just make sure not to fall and hurt yourself." Mark finally said with a smile.

[Logan]

(Bump)

"They surely can't be that busy. We have things we want to do before we die too." Mark stated.

This is the Director of the DAIS MI... How may i be of service today?

[Logan]

Zane stood straight up and began to speak. "This is Director Zane of the Lotharian Academy. I stand her aboard the ship Destiny's Hope in order to create a scientific alliance. We both may have technologies and research advancements that may help the other out and as Director of the Academy I am purposing a trade. Our good friends on the Destiny's Hope has managed to obtain files from a Neo Narrikian facility when they attempted to pull information off it. We have large amount of data on you guys and we know you have advance ship drive cores. With your permission we would like to study one. Understand it, and if needed upgrade it to run faster. We have the idea but we don't have drive cores of our own. Of course anything we find would be yours as well."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

<<<Are you in any way allied with the Neo Narikians?>>>

[Logan]

"No. Our ship may be have some of there designs but it was given to us in an agreement." Logan stated. Zane was the one who spoke next. "I myself am the director of the Lotharian Academy. We have no relations with the Neo."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

The AI though for a minute. Which was unbearably long to AI.

<<<We find it inherently odd that you come out of nowhere and know who we are.>>>

[Logan]

"We didn't know who you were. But when we hacked the Neo computer and stole tons of information they in turn had many reports on you. We know that you are made up of troops and led by an advance AI. But other than your advance technology that is it. All other info couldn't be proven unless we got it from the horse's mouth it self and even then I still wouldn't believe it." Mark answered.

"How they procured the information isn't important. We are a big society. Many come to visit us but we are limited on visiting others due to our under power drive cores. If we are too be able to explore the universe around us we need a new drive core design and unfortunately we are very limited with what we have to be able to design a new one complete off the bat without an design type." Zane stated.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

<<<And what exactly does to Anrufe Paramilitary, and the DAiS have to gain?>>>

[Logan]

"Simple. We may be able to enhance them. You'll be able to make your ships fly faster." Zane said.

Logan walked over to the console. "Stealth systems. Our ship may be Neo in design but it isn't all Neo technology. This ship has the the ability to suppress radiation and other things that scans pick up in order to make itself completely invisible to radars and auto turrets. You help us we will gladly share how this is done.

[Logan]

Bump!
