Re: Septhi Royal Exploration Corps SREC

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 5:47 pm

The three of the Septhi crew chosen leave the ship using thrusts mainly on their backpacks to move about, the Power armor the security guard has on is far more mobile, and large. Holding a fairly sizeable rifle like weapon behind the two in normal suits, as they approach the Aliens slowly, slowing down their thrusters as they approach, one of the Septhi makes a simple wave with his hand, as an attempt at a greeting.

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 5:56 pm

The Axtromd mimic the gesture, not knowing what it means. Two of them slow down before the approaching aliens while the other two go forward diagonally so that they can easily flank them in case of conflict, they try to be as surreptios about the move as possible though so as not show any outward agression. Thi first two try to speak to the aliens on the frequency that they have been established to understand. While the aliens would not understand their words they have also taken with them screens with which they can show pictures of what they are talking about. Onboard the rest of the crew observes everything, ready for any signs of hostility.

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 5:59 pm

The Septhi listen and record all of this, before responding in their own language, doing several different hand signs, showing pictures, one of which is a Diamond as he points as their ship, Diamond next to a Female Septhi in fine robes.

The Security guard in large power armor just observes coldly, eyeing the Aliens carefully.

Onboard the vessel the entire crew observes with the greatest intent, some are praying to the Gods, others to the Queen.

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:12 pm

The Axtromd did not understand what the diamond was meant to symbolise but nevertheless countinued showing pictures, of a planet, a star, an asteroid, theirs and the alien ship and all the while describe them. The two flankers had decided that the alien in the heavy armour was the greatest threat and had made him their target to unleash their weapons upon in case of a battle, secretly communicating with the two others to take out their translator counterparts so that each had a target. The ship meanwhile had turned itself towards the alien one with it's nose.

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:17 pm

The Septhi listen and appear to be takking notes in some form, with their suits wrist-computer or datapad, the Security guard still observes them as they get into a more adventageous position.

Suddenly one of the Septhi in front, grabs a Data-Slate that slides out from his Datapad and holds it in one hand towards the aliens, activating his thrusters so he moves very slowly towards them to hand it over. The Crew is silent inside the ship.

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:22 pm

One of the Axtromd approaches him preparing to take it as he appears to be willing to give it to him. The captain watches everything from the ship, approving of the action but warning for any potential trap.

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:27 pm

After handing the slate, the Septhi gestures to the slate and this his wrist computer, as in a motion it an be slid in. Then uses his thrusters to back up lightly to his previous position. They maintain their position for now, observing.

The Slate is infact a Data-Storage with alot of their language, and mathematics inside, will take a while to learn. But it can be done.

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:33 pm

The Axtromd goes through the information stored inside it and sends it to the Computer for interpretation. As the Computer begins interpreting it also begins to synthesise a translation so that Khendrosi sentances could be vocalised as Septhi, while as an AI it is able to quickly process through the information the amount of it still makes it somewhat timeconsuming and in the meantime the other Axtromd translater countinues to show pictures.

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:36 pm

The Septhi contiues to observe the pictures and send others back, while saying words thats supposed to mean whats on them.

The Septhi Language has an exceptionally difficult Grammar, with a large variety of words. An entire sentence can have to be changed just because one word is in a plural instead of a singular, very complicated. But it can be translated.

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:45 pm

As the Computer had gained enough information to construct intelligeble sentances the Axtromd set up a double communication where the Axtromd say what he wants translated to the Computer, who translates it and sends it back to the Axtromd who sends it to the aliens. Their first message that they expect the aliens to understand is as following:

"greetings Septhi, we are the Khendros, you are in an area that we controll. What is your purpose here?"

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:51 pm

The Septhi look at each other lightly before looking back and beginning to respond, hopefully the Aliens can translate what they say.

"Greetings to you, Khendros. We are members of the Septhi Royal Exploration Corps, sent out to explore the far-reaches of the stars in the name of our people. You are the first intelligent life we have encountered ever." He looks down at this Datapad briefly then resumes talking "Our people have been exploring the stars and settling its worlds for almost 300 years, we are delighted to know that we are not the only beings in the Galaxy to achieve intelligence to rise above our animal roots. We have many questions, too many."

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:58 pm

The Axtromd run this through the computer. Onboard Admiral Junomd notes the words 300 hundred years. While the years of the Septhi might be much shorter than those of the Khendros due to their home system looking different than that of Khemenos it nevertheless indicated that they had been travelling through space for a long time, meaning that this probably was a technologically advanced and powerful empire.

the response:

"What questions exactly? And we have questions for you. First, how does your system of governance work, who do you answer to?"

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 7:03 pm

"The Corps answers to the Lord-Explorator of the Frontier of the Jasekhi Lordship, the closest frontier sectors from here. The Frontier Lordship answers to the Eternal Dynasty in the Throne-Worlds, where a Parlament of the Highest Lords and Elected officials work in the name of the Sacred-Queen who has the final say in all matters. Pray tell, how does your governance work?"

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 7:12 pm

"We are part of the Khendros Exploration and Interaction with the Unenlightened Divisions and serve under it's currently appointed admiral." They elected not to mention that the current admiral was onboard the ship "The admiral is the highest authority in matters of war and diplomacy but only exerts direct authority over the other commanders in case of a crisis. The Khendros as a whole have the High Administrator as our highest authority, although he is not very involved in diplomacy as internal matters take too much of his time. Who is the officer in charge of this ship?"

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 7:15 pm

"Captain Minara is in charge of this vessel, we only expected to find lifeless rocks here like so many other places. And then we end up finding our first meeting with intelligent life in space, quite a historic event, the people of the Dynasty will be ecstatic to hear we are not alone in amongst the Stars, truly a blessing from the Gods."

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 7:18 pm

This confused the Axtromd somewhat.

"When you say 'blessing from the gods' what exactly are you reffering to?"

by Mthis Sat Sep 17, 2016 7:24 pm

"The Gods, the Divine hands that set all in motion, those that birthed creation. We are just glad to know that life flourishes across the cosmos they shaped. We are suprised you do not know of them, but it is not entirely unexpected, the old protocols state theres a high possibility to expect other peoples that have evolved different from ours, to not view the Gods."

by Caspoi Sat Sep 17, 2016 7:27 pm

"So your phycisists believe that intelligent beings created the universe and not the other way around? That is a rather strange theory to have. Also what are those old protocols that you mentioned?"

by Mthis Sun Sep 18, 2016 4:43 am

"Protocols the Dynasty put in place 200 years ago, in the eventual case we met intelligent life. How the Intelligent life could behave, and how different and sometimes similar they could be to us. It was theorised early that we couldnt be the only intelligent beings in the universe the Gods set in motion, the chances would have been too small for it jsut to be us. The Queen will be delighted to hear of this discovery."

by Caspoi Sun Sep 18, 2016 6:58 am

"We would be curius to see how we fitted in here. But before we split ways as you return to wherever you come from (incidentally we would very much like to know where that is) we wonder if you would accept the setup of a more permanent system of communications where we can together understand how our languages work more thouroughly. This would also give us the oppurtunity to extend a hand of friendship because friends can be needed in a galaxy such as this."

by Mthis Sun Sep 18, 2016 8:18 am

"A few systems from here, in the direction of the warp-trail we will leave behind, youl reach out furtest mining outposts, the Lord Explorator will find a way for us to establish a permanent system of communication as soon as we can figure out how to do so, we have no experience with this. But you seem capable of translating our language. Im sure the Queen would be delighted to know Intelligent Life thinks about peace as we do."

by Caspoi Sun Sep 18, 2016 8:42 am

"Of course, peace is very beneficial compared to war. We could send a representative with a Computer with you and have him give you messages that we wish to transfer. Thus you can know what we want and tell us what you want and we can teach you about the Ideology of the Khendros."

by Mthis Sun Sep 18, 2016 8:58 am

"That sounds like a wise idea, ill see what the captain thinks of it" The Septhi switches over to a secure channel and talks about it before switching back nodding gesturing with his hand "The captain has agreed, we will board our ship and wait for your representative..Docking might be difficult"

by Caspoi Sun Sep 18, 2016 9:06 am

During this Admiral Junomd communicated with the fleet stationed at Endremos to prepare to send over a mobile computer together with someone educated in how to Enlighten aliens that they meet.

"No need to do this just yet, we first need to get a new Computer as the current one is a fixed part of the ship. Meanwhile we may discuss how to do the docking. We must warn you that our ship holds no air inside it but operates in an absolute vaccum.

by Mthis Sun Sep 18, 2016 9:18 am

"You operate yoru ships in compelte vacuum? Very, different then. I suppose one of your crew could enter our space lock in their suit with the equiptment somehow, but that would be a difficult task"

by Caspoi Sun Sep 18, 2016 9:26 am

Meanwhile a wormhole is opening relatively near their position.

"Well, we could have that the computer and the representative are dropped outside of your airlock which you then open so as to let them in. Is your airlock large enough to encompass objects that are [the equivalent of 1 square meter] large?"

by Mthis Sun Sep 18, 2016 9:39 am

"Indeed, it shouldnt be a problem then, we just need to accomodate for whatever shape it is. Shouldnt be too hard."

by Caspoi Sun Sep 18, 2016 9:48 am

Out from the wormhole comes a ship similar to the existing one. It approaches the two parties and drops of an Axtromd holding a large metal box which looked like it would be quite heavy if not for the total lack of gravity (remember that the Axtromd are quite small as a species). the Axtromd aprroaches the Septhi vessel and knocks on it to call attention to himself.

by Mthis Sun Sep 18, 2016 9:58 am

The Septhi ship opens its secure space-lock as the Septhi outside head inside and gesture the newcommer to follow

Onboard the ship the crew is ready by the Space-Dock to see this alien in person to person. Some even have personal recording devices prepared.

by Caspoi Sun Sep 18, 2016 10:07 am

The Axtromd comes in, holding his large box. While a large part of his face is obscured by the suit that he is wearing his eyes are visible and his two forward ones observe the gathered Septhi while the two on the sides swirl around to get an impression of the ship [by the way, is your ship simulating gravity in any way and if so how, the Axtromd use magnetic boots].

"Greetings, I am Commander Rahomd and I will act as a representative of the Khendros. Which one of you is the commander?"
