The New Universes Project: Eine Neue Reise Beginnt
Season 3 - Episode 3: Behold Unto You…
December 5 4566 Morning
Narrated by Haruka Sumimori
After leaving the outpost we spent time studying the data collected from the researchers only to find out that the creatures consume all matter of energy. Based on their age and size we can overload them with power and make them pop due to overfeeding them. They seem to mindlessly consume whatever they find; with a particular interest in gems. Meanwhile as the research teams and engineers were working on recovering the data nonstop and researching with only sleep between us the Lavie’s tactical staff had noticed an uptick in ships from that organization that tried to attack us before in the sectors. We have spent the last few days running about dodging enemy vessels while trying to figure out what has caused this sector to be so unstable. While finishing the data recovery a sensor contact was discovered on a planet that seems to be a civilization; we have set a course for this civilization. Captain Mizriki hopes it might be less hostile and able to provide us more insight into what is going on considering since we were able to detect it; it must be using energy in some form.
atsumari 13-Sep-20 12:23 AM
<START SIM> The Lavie approached the planet that they had found on scans. It was still emitting an energy signature. it was faint but it was there. They could detect a population on the world though the planet seemed rather harsh. Mira commented from her scans of the planet as she had a 3d map of it from the ships scanners. "It is mostly urban... and when I say mostly; I mean like even the mountains, trees.... the planet is a giant city.... meteorologically.... scans show it is class M but... Well.... storms, lots and lots of storms.... this place seems to have very very long nights" Ari shrugged on the bridge "sounds depressing.... so urban hellhole with forever clouds and darkness.... fun.... It does bring forth questions though as to why it has not been attacked though. Hail the surface." She said to Trent who did so. Upon hailing a girl answered the call. A large crescent was behind her. " Good evening. I am Ekkes the Artificial attendant of Rema. To what do we owe this visit?" "I am Ari Mizriki Captain of the Trinity Ship Lavie... We are exploring this area and have questions but have met much resistance. You are the first people who have not responded to us with hostility. Is there information you could share with us?" "I am sorry; we only share our knowledge in person. I can lower our dampening fields should your ship want to dock at one of our docking facilities and converse with our administrator."
atsumari
Ari asks her for a moment muting the channel and sending a message to have a security detail get sorted then she looked to Dawn for input and to Tory.
M82A1
"We know too little right now. It could be a trap or not. But either way, the information could help." Dawn says. "Caution its highly advised. Should I contact the Mursashi to standby just in case?"
keving
Kirin gets the security team ready to be deployed when called for and send ari a message "Security is ready for deployment mam."
atsumari
"If we were closer I would say yes but unfortunately being as far away as we are help would be weeks away... We should exercise caution though I do agree. They don't seem hostile but you never know." Ari agreed with Dawn's assessment of the situation confirming her own thoughts.
Tory Trace
Tory was listening as he was on the bridge. As Ari was looking for the bridge crew for input, Tory was observing the storms on the sensor readings. "I don't really like the storms and it's lightning strength. Granted our shields and hull could withstand it, but the approach down to the surface would be some strain and be less effective to protect us from those lightning strikes," he said. He was noting that it wasn't impossible but certainly to expect some damage during the approach to the planet surface.
atsumari
"The ship could withstand the approach though.... and even if we wre hit by the lightening?" She asked for confirmation.
Rockyeahh
Meanwhile, a funky sound can be heard from engineering. William is dancing in a haze of joy. If we hadn't gone far past cloud 9, he'd be on it. He thinks to himself with a grin on his face. "I didn't die again. Another mission. Pfft. I can survive it all. Hahaha."
Tory Trace
Tory nodded. "Yes, the ship can withstand it. I'll need to run a damage assessment once we land. Who knows what sort of random electrical damage this planet's storm could do to us. I'll get some extra protection measures on our engines and gem drives to be sure," he said to Ari.
M82A1
"Don't expect the sensors to work all that well either after the first strike we take." Dawn comments.
Tory Trace
Tory switched the cameras to engineering and could see William dancing around in engineering. He seems to be having too much fun there. He pressed the intercom to speak to the engineering section from the bridge. "Ensign Shert. When you're done having your fun, I need you to add some extra electrical insulation to the gem drive and engine components. We'll be needing them for the next mission," he said.
atsumari
"Their dampening field may affect our sensor systems as well." Mira noted from her station. Ari nodded unmuting the com. "Very well... We will accept the offer of being able to dock and a team of my staff and I will be coming to meet your administrator. I will be bringing some of my security personnel I hope you don't mind." "It is perfectly safe here on Rema however I understand your concern. We will allow your guards and if any of your crew need provisions they will be allowed visas to enter the city following inspection by our inspection authority." Ekkes replied.
Rockyeahh
William spins over to the controls and types away, while tap dancing on the spot. "I'll get right on it sir."
atsumari
Ekkes lowered the planets dampening field and Ari told the helm to take them in and proceed to wherever the dockmaster told them. Upon the Lavie entering the planet's atmosphere the dampening field closed around it. They could no longer scan outside of the planet's surface and even long range communications could barely push through the field. They had very limited range now. The ship began to head for its docking port. Ari messaged Haru to have her meet the security detail at the air lock. She then asked Dawn and Tory to join her.
M82A1
Dawn nods in response. "If that is what you wish."
atsumari
The dockmaster secures the ship and docks it to the planet's docking station careful not to damage it. A protective shield appears around the dock to protect it fromt he weather. Something they did not expect.
M82A1 13-Sep-20 12:50 AM
"Interesting....This could work both ways though." Dawn comments on the shield.
Tory Trace
Tory monitored the planet approach, seeing that the work William performed certainly is holding. THe ship did rock as some lightning strikes hits the ship, the shields holding to most of the strikes. Upon landing, EVA began to produce the damage reports. "Not bad, a torpedo tube knocked out, some phase cannons showing minor damage, a few sensors shorted, and some minor internal electrical circuits burnt. Nothing the repair droids can't handle within a short few hours," Tory said as he inputted repair commands to the repair droids to begin work. HE then stood up from his station to walk with Ari to the airlock. "The important thing is, the gem drive and engines are intact so we can depart any time," Tory said to Ari as the end of the assessment.
Rockyeahh
William chuckles to himself as he continues his work. He is starting to fit into the crew, as he loses his sanity.
atsumari
Ari leads the three of them to meet with the others at the airlock. Upon arrival at the airlock Haru was there with Kirin and Oscar. Haru opened the airlock as the other end closed. The system confirmed outside was safe for them before opening. Upon the door opening there were three guards in white uniforms with hats that looked like something a duty soldier from Earth would wear. These people looked human but there was something different about them. Haru could see it with her left eye, Kirin and Oscar could feel their aura's were different and Dawn could detect something about their energy signature was not the same as a normal human. The man standing the center of the pad salutes in a strange manner with his hand in the center of his chest. "For the Crescent Order; I am Kun-Ou of the Security Advocate... Please follow my men and we will take you to the lift. Her Highness is expecting you."
keving
Kirin follows the group while monitoring the men that gave a strange aura off.
M82A1
Dawn observes and logs the energy discrepancy as the group follows the man guiding them.
Tory Trace
Tory stayed at the back of the group as he watched them. he would see the others uneasy but he wouldn't be able to tell what might be different
♤Oscar♤
Oscar follows along with the others, thinking about why the aura of the people on this planet is different from normal humans.
atsumari
The group arrived at a rather strange looking open air elevator that looked like something out of a steampunk manga. Kun stood in the front of it at a panel as everyone entered the guards ensured everyone was in it and then closed the door. Kun then operated a quitch and a light turned on the thing detached from the dock. As the away team looked out the saw that the docking platform holding the lavie was actually floating in the sky. It was suspended by magical tethers. The "lift" they were on began to fall slowly and then moved forward slightly as if Kun was flying it. it then began to descend. Soon it fell further until it reached a landing spot that seemed to be designed for these elevators of sorts. As the guards opened the door the crew saw the city.
it was raining currently and seemed like a cold autumn night. The guards seemed unphased by the cold air as it crept into the elevator no longer protected by a shield.
"Welcome to Rema." Kun said to them.
keving
Kirin starts to shiver.
atsumari
"Weren't we supposed to go through some inspection?" Ari asked Kun whom smirked. "the shield does the inspection; the inspection will not allow you through and our advocates will detain you if it does not let you pass. The shield found you safe and so you are allowed in." Kun explained.
Tory Trace
Tory wondered if it really was all that simple, a shield that performed the inspection at the same time. He shivered as he kept walking with the group.
atsumari
Ari had her VX give her a winter coat which materialized on her.
♤Oscar♤
Oscar, being completely unfazed by the weather, inspects his surroundings by turning his head as he continues following the others. "Is the weather always like this in here?" He cautiously asks since he's still being wary of the people here.
atsumari
Haru pulls up her Alchemy commission uniform coat's rain hood shrugging. This entire place was being powered by energy similar to gems from what she could see. As he asks the question Kun continues to lead the way while saying "Mostly; we rarely get sunlight... longer days do come though and those are when people are allowed time from their work to recharge themselves and meditate on the gift we have been given of being free from the creatures thanks to the Order." He leads them down a street to a mansion with a rather large compound surrounding it and two guard posts. Seeing an Advocate with them the guards open the gate. The mansion is shielded from the rain somehow; even its courtyard has nice plants, trees, a garden and such things. The girl they had spoken to on the coms walks out. "Hello Ari Mizriki and her crewmates... I am Ekkes the colony artificial caretaking program. I also assist the Administrator; Her Highness in overseeing the world. Welcome to the metropolis of Rema. Advocates; you may go. "Yes Madam Administrator." Kun and his men Salute in their way and leave. Ekkes appears to just be a normal android. "would you be so kind as to introduce yourselves?" Ekkes asked. Haru goes first since the conloy's AI knows who Ari is. "Haruka Sumimori; I am the Lavie's research specialist in magical things." Ekkes nods as if noting this for some reason.
M82A1
"Dawn, Combat Vessel AI and Caretaker to Ari Mizriki."
keving
"Kirin dragmawl, security officer."
Tory Trace
"Tory Trace, Engineer. My own AI, EVA, is present with me," Tory said. His wrist pad flashed a "HELLO" for Ekkes to see before returning to its main screen.
Rockyeahh
William pauses in his dancing. "Hmm." He raises an eyebrow. "The powers lowering" William exclaims. William desperately attempts to hail the away team. "Come on!" but he's left with silence as the terminal switches off. His eyes widen as emergency life support power kicks in.
♤Oscar♤
"Oscar Kashima, one of Lavie's tactical specialists. I am here as a guard." Oscar says as he crosses his arms, trying to look professional.
atsumari
Ekkes nods. "Good I have registered you all into the database. Please follow me. I will introduce you to the Administrator." Ekkes leads them into the building and through a door into a large throne room like place but instead of a throne is a desk. A guard is in there. "The new guests are here for the administrator." The guard nods and goes into a back room. A girl comes out. She stands by the desk removing her headset placing it on the desk. "Chi-Gina Rema though most simply call me Chi... I am the creator of the Crescent system and governor... some call me Queen of Rema... I am glad you could join us... Now... How are things out in space... evil and full of pain I would suppose?" She asked.
keving
"Yes lots of evil and pain and energy flux out there" kirin replies.
Tory Trac
Tory was looking at Chi-Gina and tilting his head as he is trying to get a better sizing up of her. It was strange how she is a queen, even more so was the lack of a throne. But Ekkes did say she is the administrator as another title so a desk seemed to fit that image too. "You're the Queen of Rema and its administrator?" he said with a questioning tone as he couldn't really believe somone that young looking was in charge of this city, if not the planet?
atsumari
Chi nods. "Those creatures have consumed more then... it is good the system protects this world... and good we found you and encouraged you to come here. With your skills Rema will be most well protected. There are only so many people where who understand how the magic works." As Tory posed his questions and statements Ekkes seemed to read into them. "Miss Chi was placed in this role as she created the Crescent system. Other ministers manage the operations of the city and I oversee them so she can keep her attention on maintaining the system." "And what is this system you all love referring to so much...." Ari said crossing her arms. "The planetary protection grid, dampening shield and magical field generator." Ekkes said. "How does it work?" Ari asked. "That is classified" Ekkes said not allowing Chi to speak on the matter. "You mention our skills.... what do you mean; do you need our help?" Ekkes nods.
keving
"What type of help do you require from us?" Kirin asks.
atsumari
"We require you to provide security, help to maintain the system and ensure city safety. There has been a force threatening to murder Miss Chi as they say the government and the Crescent system are not really protecting the planet but are enslaving it." Ekkes explained.
keving
"Are they assassins or long range snipers or just mercs for hire?" Kirin replies.
M82A1
"I doubt that they know. If they did they wouldn't be asking us for help." Dawn answers Kirin.
keving
"Hmm good point" Kirin replies.
atsumari
Ekkes nods "Exactly."
keving
"I really hope it isnt anyone from inside the guards of the queen or security forces on this planet" kirin says.
atsumari
"First however though we have noticed an energy abnormality with your vessel; we believe the resistance forces are attempting to syphon energy from your vessel. Communication with your allies at this point will be impossible. The Advocates can still relay information by messenger should you need assistance and bring help here. For now though I suggest rest... you must have had a long trip. As I did say before we will allow any of your crew to come to ground as long as they pass inspection" Ekkes said.
M82A1
Dawn raises an eyebrow at this, but remains silent.
atsumari
Chi returns to her room and the guard stays by the door.
Ekkes remains with them.
Tory Trace
Tory was surprised at that and turned his VX to try to contact the ship. But all he got was static. "comms link disrupted" EVA reported as if to confirm what Ekkes was saying. He then turned to Ari. "We should return to secure the ship. If they are trying to drain our ship's energies, who knows if they can get into our systems," he said to Ari. He then thought of something. "Wait, you're still saying it's alright to let our crew off while the ship could be in trouble?" he said.
atsumari
"The Advocates would detain them if they were to cause incident so yes." Ekkes said.
Ari nodded to Tory sending a message in crypto to Tory hoping he remembered his courses in decoding and remembered the standard keys. Decoded the message woulld tell him to keep his guard up and try to find the source of the energy draining.
Tory Trace
Tory received the message and didn't ask anymore questions for now, his VX already working to decode the message. He would need to keep an eye out for the hidden attack on their ship. The question now was, what would it look like? Could he detect it while remaining undetected in his surveilance for the source? He knew nothing of this planet's capabilities when comparing to their own tech.

For now though I suggest rest... you must have had a long trip. As I did say before we will allow any of your crew to come to ground as long as they pass inspection" Ekkes said.

Dawn raises an eyebrow at this, but remains silent.

Chi returns to her room and the guard stays by the door.
Ekkes remains with them.
Tory Trace
Tory was surprised at that and turned his VX to try to contact the ship. But all he got was static. "comms link disrupted" EVA reported as if to confirm what Ekkes was saying. He then turned to Ari. "We should return to secure the ship. If they are trying to drain our ship's energies, who knows if they can get into our systems," he said to Ari. He then thought of something. "Wait, you're still saying it's alright to let our crew off while the ship could be in trouble?" he said.

"The Advocates would detain them if they were to cause incident so yes." Ekkes said.
Ari nodded to Tory sending a message in crypto to Tory hoping he remembered his courses in decoding and remembered the standard keys. Decoded the message woulld tell him to keep his guard up and try to find the source of the energy draining.
Tory Trace
Tory received the message and didn't ask anymore questions for now, his VX already working to decode the message. He would need to keep an eye out for the hidden attack on their ship. The question now was, what would it look like? Could he detect it while remaining undetected in his surveilance for the source? He knew nothing of this planet's capabilities when comparing to their own tech.
