A Rebirth

"Of course not. Holy terra is our homeworld, and the world where our lord the God Emperor resides in his mortal form"

*Again, Plumo's pupils noticeably dilate.*

Plumo: I see.

"The emperor is a god in mortal form. a being of unbeleivable power who sacrificed his body against the arch traitor ten thousand years ago. he now resides upon his golden throne, his formidable power guiding our ships through the stars"

Plumo: Am I to assume the Imperium is a theocratic state? If that is so, I doubt this discussion will continue for much longer, Captain. Theocrats are infamous book burners and destroyers of knowledge. I am a man of science, a man of knowledge. Men like me rarely see eye-to-eye with religious establishments.

Helat: observation: less advanced races expect compensation for services rendered. What compensation do you expect?

Scientist: Compensation? Where did I mention compensation? You are are in need of assistance. We will not ask for some sort of compensation from those that are in need. We are not Retrovoso personnel, greedy pigs that they are.

Helat: ......acknowledged....
???: observation: re-entering chromosphere. Evactuation is advisable.

Scientist: Our vessel should have the capacity to transport you and your compatriot to safety.

the two scions look at him

*The Yutegan soldiers eye the scions likewise.*

Plumo: I take it this is problem, going by the demeanor of your men.

OOC. btw, i finally defined helats height. somewhere slightly above avarage joe marine
IC:
*waiting.... (their thought processes are something like "their party, their instructions. so lets just wait for those instructions")*

"nono. they wont do anything without my command. relax."

OOC: Good to know.

IC:

Scientists: If you are willing to trust us, then follow me. *Leaves with his party for the expedition vessel.*
_________________________________________
Plumo: Very well. However, Captain, I meant what I said. Yutegans do not bend their knee to any man or god. We do not deny their existence, but we reject them all the same, as they have brought us nothing but strife and in others they have bred dependence.

"And the rest of your consortium?"

Plumo: It varies.

*Helat follows him, soon followed by the other. its almost the height of a dreadnough, with traditional proportions, and rather well armed... there are twi railgun looking stuffs on its back on rotating bases, as well as a pair of much larger gun barrels that seem to be able to fold into the bottom of the chassis. on closer inspection, its intact wing is like those of the imperial aquila in that they only consist of lines instead of a solid surface, though further examination beecomes difficuilt as it folds close in to the chassis to be able to pass through the doorways.*

Scientist *after they board the expedition vessel and leave the failing hulk*: Now then, I believe the next logical question would be, what brought you to our galaxy?

Helat: Presumable miscalculation during null-jump. Addendum: this has already been stated.

Scientist: Forgive me. I wanted to know if you were brought here for reasons other than a FTL related accident. If that is the case....well, I myself do not have much authority, but I am sure Doctor Omun would very much like to meet being such as yourselves and I am certain he would do everything within his power to assist you.

Helat: Query: Who/what is "Doctor Omun"?

"I see..."

Scientist: Doctor Omun is the the founder and head of Yutega University.

Plumo: Indeed.

OOC well at least I found this thread while it was still manageable in size

*i will just assume he spends the next lots of minutes with branching questions... like when you read a wiki page and the open every hyperlinked word and so on...*
*so after that tiresome interrogation*

OOC: Hey, Fae. And that works Naz.

IC:

Scientist: I see...This discussion has been very enlightening. I will do what I can to contact Doctor Omun, but he is a busy man so I can't guarantee an audience with him.

Helat: Acknowledged

"Well. I beleive that brings this meeting to a close"

OOC now I'll just continue to follow this topic because "Eeeeeey it's a degree more interesting than the other stuff happening"

OOC: Will do, Fae.


IC:

*The scientist removes his helmet and walks over to a communications terminal. He's noticeably cybernetically augmented. He then tries to work through the various channels so that the newcomers can gain an audience with the head of the university.*

Scientist: *Sighs* This could take some time. While you're waiting, my men will provide you with the needed materials so that you can repair your compatriot.
___________________________________________________________
Plumo: Agreed. If you will allow it, the soldiers under my command will escort you back to the airlock.

OOC airlock?
dont you mean ship?

???: List of required materials: *lists a a bunch of basic organic compunds, as well as inorganic maerials, including rather heavy elements(as in, beyond gold, even)*... preferred form: solution or powder.

OOC DUNNNNN

OOC: The airlock connects the ships. I imagined they were using a umbilical of sorts. :/

IC:

Scientist: I'll see what we can do. Our ship may not be equipped with all the materials you require.

OOC oh
IC *he nods as they do so*

*The Yutegans escort the Captain and his scions back to the airlock. Once the Imperials have left, the Yutegans enter FTL, heading for Consortium space.*

???: That was predictable. Damage under control. Damaged systems bypassed. Repairs not of highest priority

*plays clip from a new hope*
"you're sure the tracking device is secure aboard their ship? we're talking an awful risk vader. this had better work."

Scientist: Very well. *Time skip to MUCH LATER cause even a place like Yutega will inevitably have bureaucracy.* I have secured a meeting with Doctor Omun. We are to take you to Yutega University proper immediately.

*The Yutegans stop part way through their journey to ensure they are a safe distance from Imperial space before searching their ship, cause really, the highly logical borg drones aren't stupid and recognize dangerous pseudo-Nazi fanatics when they see them because of FRANK MILLER the history between the Yutegans and the Disciples. :P*

*they find nothing*

OOC. ...oh, here it comes.... its ther ebut unfindable, isnt it?
IC:
Helat: Acknowledged.

*They continue their journey home.*

OOC: I have no idea why I referenced Frank Miller in my last post. Probably to much AT4W.
_________________________________________________
*The research vessel enters FTL and arrives at Yutega University proper a few days later. Oddly, the Yutegans don't do anything to hide the newcomers from general view and the average Yutegans seem genuinely intrigued by the creatures, even if it's from a purely scientific point of view.*

*because the scions made use of their ability to spend time in vaccums with their armour and PUT THE TRACKING DEVICE ON THE OUTER HULL
MUHAHAHAHAHA*

OOC: Um...so the thing would be invisible to scanners? Also, it's not like the other Scions would...aw forget it. I'm not going to bother trying to logically deconstruct the problem here because it would lead to a pointless and probably nit-picky argument. But I'm just going to assume you're going to launch a crusade within the next five posts.

OOC. what did i tell you....
IC:
*if the yutegans are able to notice that, the two are actively processing information from the sorrounding datascape while paying little (non-caution) attention to the yutegans themselves.*

what, that wasnt obvious from the conversation so far?

OOC no. no crusades gettin launched. this is just information gathering (which was the whole purpose of the meeting to begin with)

OOC. which, by imperial creed, results in a crusade.
i once read an official book where the imperium was about to leave a xeno colony alone because they were too primitive to be worth wasting resources to exterminate... .then it turned out that they were humans who genetically modified themselves in the past when they still had tech to be able to survive, and still worshipped the emperor and fought khornates.... the imperium would have lost its shit and went full exterminatus if the news got out....

OOC (I'm also watching this thread because you guys might be the most likely to bring my creation into this, if even by only a slim margin. Also I know the 5 are sworn enemies of Chaos but did they have a thing against the Darkness too? Or is it my memory's acting up again?)

OOC NO
BAD NAZ
*hits with spoon*

*I'm not sure how they'd notice it aside from the biomechs potentially turning their heads, but sure, whatever works. These are biomechs of your design. They are eventually brought to Doctor Omun's office....where they see a frail old man with several cybernetic enhancements.*

Doctor Omun: Ah. These must be our extra-galactic guests. Allow me to be the first to properly welcome you to Yutega University and the Consortium.

OOC: Yeah. I'm with Naz here. Calling crusade in next five posts. And Fae, the Five never encountered the Darkness to the best of my knowledge (which would be a bit strange I admit...seeing as there is the Lord of Darkness amongst the Five but still).

*hits arken with another spoon*
