Darn it

[Zero]

Life just had to get hectic. Ever since he had quit the Neo Narrikian Empire, Lucien had decided that going around in an armed ship would arouse too much suspicion. Unfortunately this had disadvantages. His ship had recently gone through a meteor shower and as such needed immediate repairs and needed to be landed somewhere. Luckily through maneuvering the ship he had managed to survive. Fortunately the scanners indicated in this unarmed frigate that were life signs on the nearest planet.  So Lucien sent out a transmission to the planet.

This is the Dawn Voyager. Permission to land before the ship crashes?

[The Blade]

Maimore Cadenchi was on the bride of Shimmering Dawn, a titanic pillar of metal that is just over 85,000 miles long and hovered in space above Arcanis III, out of the path of the star's rays so that it didn't plunge certain parts of the planet into darkness. The comms station in the ship's command vault bleeped a few times to show an incoming transmission and she quickly answered it as a man's voice came through the speakers and she realised he had ended up powering through the close meteor shower and she sighed, why didn't he use his scanners first, she thought but answered anyway.

"Dawn Voyager, this is Shimmering Dawn, we are launching fighters to hem you in and bring you to launch bay Omicron, do copy? I repeat, do you copy?"

Miamore set down her comm line and then ordered the a flight of Sword Class fighters to be launched to guide Dawn Voyager into the hangar bay and she went down to that bay herself to meet the newest passenger aboard the titan.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

The DAIS Battleship in the area immediately started to target the Naroloan Vessel.

<<<Target acquired. Weapons Ready>>>
<<Beacon Activated. Awaiting DAIS Armada>>

Within seconds, 14 more battleships and their defense contingent arrived on scene, in formation with the DAIS Alpha.

[The Blade]

A few warning lights flicked on the Vionix titan's display as they detected power surges through their allied DAIS vessel and then 14 more DAIS battleships came in system and in formation with Alpha. Miamore had no idea why the DAIS vessels had jumped in system and why they were targeting this other ship, she decided to activate her own weapons on Shimmering Dawn.

All across the broadsides of Shimmering Dawn, lances activated, cannon ports slid round and synchronized targeting systems with the DAIS vessels, locking all weapons onto Dawn Voyager and then from all across the ship, massive bay doors slid open and tens of thousands of fighters of both Halberd and Sword class launched out, they were taking all precautions because even the shielding activated upon the leviathan ship.

<<DAIS vessel Alpha, explain the reason for the summons and targeting upon the Dawn Voyager.>>

Miamore sent the small burst to Alpha and then waited but still led Dawn Voyager to hangar bay Omicron.

[Zero]

Slowly Lucien would pilot his ship following the fighters into the bay of the larger ship that had been offered and once there would get out of the ship and breathe a sigh of relief. For now he would be alive. The DAIS could not attack him Lucien hoped. For already he had enough trouble and said trouble was that now he had nowhere to call home as he had abandoned the Neo Narrikian Empire. Celso was leading a sinking ship and Lucien wanted no part of it now or ever in the for-seeable future. This was one of the reasons he had ditched the empire. The might of the DAIS was another of the problems that had caused him to abandon the NNE.  It would be suicide if he had continued to be a member of the NNE and if possible Lucien would even change his race? But no.   It was not possible for him to do so yet. Clad in normal clothes, with no weapons Lucien sighed. It was a shame he had left all his inventions behind when he had fled.

"So this is the inside of a new race's titan? Interesting."

[The Blade]

"Helmsman, take the bridge and keep us ready, I'm going to hope the DAIS don't try anything but I can't be sure" With these curt words she left the vault and walked briskly through the corridors, heading for one of the main elevators that traversed the length of the ship. She snapped briskly into the lift, her boots clacking on the metal and pressed the key for Hangar Bays, the elevator car shooting off downwards.

Meanwhile in the hangar bay 7 Vionix soldiers burst out into the bay, all but one wielding distortion carbines, the other was a lieutenant and had a distortion pistol and plasma blade at his hip. The soldiers surrounded Lucien and aimed all weapons at him, their gleaming black armour giving them an imposing look. The lieutenant was about to say something but Miamore burst in the door and within 3 seconds, she had crossed the bay, kicked Lucien's legs out from under him and had a pistol aimed at his head. "Who the fuck are you and why do DAIS appear to want you dead?" She asked him, her voice not friendly in the least and her pupiless eyes burned into his.

[Zero]

Lucien would fall to the ground, his legs kicked out from under him. That hurt. Later he would see if he could not improve his speed and physical capabilities. 

"My name is Lucien Dolos. And as to why they want me dead, probably due to my race and the fact the ship I have has an IFF of an empire I once served but no longer. I quit the Neo Narrikian Empire when I realized it was to be a sinking ship."  Lucien would listen to her words. She seemed a bit irritated. But he would not be turned over to the DAIS. It would just not be something he would permit.  "So, you are?" Lucien was curious. This was a race the Narrikians had never met. Even though he was not part of the NNE any longer he would make sure that some Narrikians such as himself would be survivors. To survive sometimes you had to do things others were unwilling to.

[The Blade]

Miamore listened intently to the downed person and holstered her pistol, ordering the soldiers away and she stepped back, her pencil thin eyebrows furrowing in thought. "What is the Neo Narrikian Empire? I do not believe it is a race we have encountered before." She didn't bother helping Lucien up and she looked over his ship before replying to his question. "I am Admiral Miamore Cadenchi of the Vionix Empire and I command this ship." She looked down at him again and then ordered the lieutenant from earlier to pick up Lucien which he didn't do gently, the Vionix's enhanced strength would easily hurt a human if they were picked up like that. "I will try to get something done with DAIS and until then you will stay as a guest of mine, Lieutenant Arrius here will take you to the habitual areas and then keep you there, I will join you soon. Try anything and he will shoot you, do you understand?"

[Zero]

Wincing in pain, a bit Lucien would nod. "Neo Narrikian Empire is sort of like humans, but more advanced tech. They are also capable of other fields as well that tech is not able to access as far as most people know. " "Oh, and don't worry I understand alright. Also would you mind supplying me with some technological components so I can build a device I've been meaning to?" The pain caused by the non-gentle grab reminded Lucien he needed to improve his own combat capabilities and also build some armor for himself and weaponry. Being helpless was not something he liked.

[The Blade]

Miamore looked slightly confused again but shrugged it off and nodded to Arrius who let go of Lucien. "I know not of "humans" but I get the gist of what you mean. As for technology, wait in the habitats and I will think about it after I talk with DAIS about this. After that you will most likely be allowed supervised access to the tech labs." She turned briskly on her heel and walked to the elevator again, turning to Arrius, she ordered him to take Lucien away with but a brisk wave of her hand and then stepped into the elevator and left for the bridge, upon going onto the bridge she stepped to the comms section once more and sent a transmission to DAIS.

<<We have this "Narrikian" but we will not hand him over, instead we will keep him in protective custody and monitor him at all points. I apologise for this but it must be done>>

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

(Alright gents, try not to skip the posting order. It doesnt bother me this time since it was a needed personal interaction, and didnt railroad.)

The DAIS ships remained ready until they quickly stood down when Lucien entered the Titan.

<<<We understand this, but fair warning. Good things will not come if he is there for too long.>>>

With that said, the Fleet's governing AI assessed the odds if the Titan attacked.

[Odds- 88.127566666666% chance of DAIS victory]
[Suggestion- Do not engage. Benefits DO NOT outweigh the political costs.]
[Stand Down]

<<<The Narikian may have information vital to the DAIS.>>>

[The Blade]

Miamore then shut down weapons upon Shimmering Dawn and activated the communication systems once more, sending a comm to the DAIS vessels.

<<DAIS vessel Alpha, I wish to know more about these Narrikians, why you seem to detest them and what information this Narrikian may be carrying, after you tell me these things I will attempt to garner the information from him and then send you it. If it makes anything different, the Narrikians name is Lucien Dolos, try to pull up information about him please whilst I get the information. Thank you for understanding Alpha, I appreciate it sincerely.>>

She sighed lightly after she switched it off the communications and then awaited the response from the DAIS vessels, she hoped this Lucien wasn't too dangerous or held too much important information or else circumstances might demand her to hand him over.

[The Blade]

((Bump, Cato, it is your turn on this thread))

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

<<<Sending Relevant Data.>>>

The DAIS sent over INTERPOL reports about him, and his father, both of which were suspected of being galactic terrorists. Along with them were detainment orders from the DAIS MI6 to bring him in for "Questioning"

[The Blade]

Miamore looked over the records of the person she had recently taken aboard and ticked over it in her head, she didn't really have anything to gain or lose either way so she may as well take it simple and ask for a bit of help.

<<DAIS alpha, I was wondering if you would be able to send over a representative to help with the questioning, if we can't get answers out of him quickly and efficiently then we will hand him over to you for further questioning. We wish to remain peaceful towards you so please do not try anything rash to get him, we will hand him over but only if circumstances dictate. Admiral Cadenchi, out>>

She awaited a response and ran a hand through her hair, thinking hard about what exactly to do with Lucien and DAIS, she certainly didn't want a conflict between the Vionix and DAIS, she wasn't certain they would survive.
