A technician walked up to Zeroth's AI Control Unit, armed with several welding devices. He was unrecognizable, due to the powered armor all librarians wear at all times. He began welding multiple circuit boards exposed on the unit, as the transition between space had cracked key components. Zeroth observed this. "Wieles attar agnam gan Paragon?" He asked. (Will this affect the Paragon?) The technician shook his head.

"Paragon jarranom alles horux, Zeroth," he replied. (Paragon operates without error, Zeroth.)

"Axla. Dorus gan goldine sruppes attar?" (Excellent. Does the data support this?)

"Negat, gan goldminax julles negar tinem barrek aliq attar." (No, the electronics should not have broken like this.)

"Julles librer tallamax Libraria?" (Should we inform Libraria?)

"Negat horux, librar tinem negat killes." (No errors, we have no need.)

"Carj olnd, gendra." (Carry on then.) The technician continued working on the panels as Zeroth monitored the Paragon's progress through space.

NOTE- This is the best approximation of Librarian writing in human letters, as translated. I am working on an official alphabet.)

>We both know we cannot trust the others, as we speak the sensor scans from your ship upon reaching proximity with the others are being analyzed by our technicians and are choosing potential targets. But until then, be careful, you do not possess appropriate equipment to sustain an engagement with the majority of the other ships - especially without proper escorts, make do with the gunships for now while we find out how to allow smaller warships to enter the anomaly - however, even though you lack the firepower of most,  your fifth reactor cell will allow you to move quickly, hopefully fast enough to avoid an engagement. Good luck, and may the will of Jaan guide you.

"Ensign Douglass, issue a white alert; I want this ship prepared for anything," The Lieutenant Colonel barked the order to the fresh recruit.
"Sir, yes sir," Douglass opened up the alert section of the console and selected '//White Alert//'.
"All crew be advised, white alert has been issue. I repeat, a white alert has been issued," The corridors filled with the calm voice of the ship's AI, Warrant Officer Bradley.

EDIT: OOC: Tomorrow I will be largely unavailable, so if I'm not on very much or at all, don't worry or anything.

"Welcome to the Unknown crew! I've set a course into the Void. Hopefully we will come back, but remember we shall serve to protect. For the Syndicate." Soul turned the mic off. "Least I hope I shall see them again."

Qrntz loved this new feeling of speed, something he never experienced before.
The whole ships was sizzling, because everybody talked about the mission, the environment, the subspace weather.
One of the communication officers began a conversation: "Tzarl's unexpected audience. Qrntz."
Qrntz answered: "Qrark's realm is open. Srak's question, Trltz?"
"Zrukr's unknown friends. Qrark's greatest courage, Qrntz?"
"Rtzl's war! Qrunt's mistake! Sruk's answer, Trltz."
"Tkurl's not executed plan. Truran's blessing, Quntz."
"Truran's blessing, Tratz.
It would be too soon, to contact the strangers, although they had this new translator, it would only translate the pictures and feelings into words, and words could be misunderstood. They did not want a war like the one Rtzl caused again. So they kept quiet and only transmitted the scans, but they sent the scans in data, another great language, as it was more precise than words. But no language would ever be as perfect as the language of the Chmmr.

D'riqnar sat, fuming in his chair; He should be the one on Nymeria; it was his birth right, not D'laria. The blood feast from which the ship got its name was still plaguing the crew; mechanics in engineering were still finding bits of caked on blood in the systems.The engines weren't working properly either, they were stuck at 20% power until they could go back to a repair station at New Valyria [The ship isn't going to start magically speeding up] Angry, he shot to his feet and swung his sword in a great ark, cleaving the pilot in two; bones crunching and snapping while the pilots guts and lungs exploded in a great fountain of red. A faint smile appeared on D'riqnars face for the first time since he set of for this mission "someone fly the damn ship!" he shouted, and several officers rushed to the bloodsoaked chair, taking the helm.

Commander Grey: Intel, what is the status of the other ships?

Intel: nothing too major, the majority of them are heading in the same bearing, with the exception of the Avatar, which has made a sharp course adjustment

Commander Grey: Make a course adjustment, we are going to head west, if there are any planets we need to get there before the Avatar

Intel: sir, the Avatar is an incredible fast ship, we can only match 33.3% of their speed

Commander: yes... But we can still outgun them if we have to. Control, turn this ship around. Fighter command, get the scout prepped for launch, and go wake up our Pilot.

Control: Yes sir.

Fighter Command: Yes sir, SF-21 Swift is being prepped for launch, and we will shortly brief the pilot, when we find her.

It was Hyperspace night and so the ship was quiet, only the entities needed were working.
Qrntz always worked, as he was using the Hyperenergy of the sleeping crew. Suddenly the radar officer sent a picture of the environment, everybody was moving north, only the ship called Void Torment turned west and followed the Avatar.
Qrntz was not able to assess the situation, but he hoped, that this gigantic battleship would not try to kill the Avatar.
So he continued his search for a Planetoid. Nonetheless he activated the Flak's and put the security state to stage 2.

Zeroth monitored other ship's scans and courses. The Librarians had not been involved in any wars at all. The Avatar's piloting race was in fact one of their allies- They were one of the few who could directly interpret the images they thought by. The only problem was the Valyrians- Sheer insanity. They were completely unreasonable creatures, creatures who kill without care and make decisions nobody would so so rationally. They were insane, and were therefore the Librarian's biggest enemy. Their war had been going on for nearly 5000 years, starting with the Librarian's forced exile from the Valyrian homeworld.

But they wouldn't act upon them yet. And they would know that. Zeroth decided to pass exceedingly close to their ship, in order to gain very comprehensive scans on every mechanism, every weak point, every part that would give them an edge. At some point, one of them would have to fall.

:::TRANSMISSION TO AVATAR:::
- WARNING, Starship Avatar, you are drifting towards our flight path, take caution around the areas directly from us.
We are preparing to launch a scout craft, which may come across you. The pilot will be given strict instructions not to fire upon anything, and should not bother you. But please remember in the off chance you decide to turn our pilot into stardust, we will turn your ship into scrap.

"Phillies bring up the map." Soul said looking at his holo-pad.
"Bringing up the Map." The AI said.
"Thank you Phillies." He said looking up at the screen.
"Thank you Overlord Soulsearcher."
"And Phillies? Just call me Soul."

The Avatar received the message shortly after a Hyperspace energy pulse. Everybody was full of energy, and so they began to try to translate the message in pictures and emotions. As things turned out, the translator could translate pictures into words, but words not in pictures. The emotions were the easy part, they were pretty similar to the emotins of the Chmmr, but the meanings of the words, yes they were the complicated part. They knew a name, General, who was shown in the picture of the transmission, But every other word was not sticking together. At least the emotions said, that General was a little bit nervous and angry, but really determined. So they decided to send a message as clear as possible:
"Qrark's realm is open, General. Zrupp and Qrull, united in war. Qmazt splinters without fear. Truran's blessing, General."

We have detected your ship passing with uneccesarily close proximity to our own, although we wish you no harm, we request you leave our airspace immediately; and on the slight chance you initiate hostilities against one of the Valyrian Dominions ships, we will declare war, and empress D'laria will flay you and your crew alive and use their skin as a carpet.

Commander Grey: does anyone in here have a bleeding clue as to what they are saying?

Comms: Negative, we didn't switch on the Chmmr translator

Commander Grey: well then switch it on, I can't have them gunning down our pilot

Comms: Affirmative


:::TRANSMISSION TO AVATAR:::
-Chmmr translation active

-We are sending a small scout which will pass close to your vicinity, no hostile intentions are present. If you harm our pilot, which we do not think you will, but we have to consider it, we will not hesitate to return the favour, however we do not want to do this.

Commander Grey: Ok, update our pilot on events

"Sir, the Avatar and the Void Torment as well as the Blood of The Flayed and Paragon lost are assuming stances. What do you plan on doing about this, sir?" The young face of the ensign had a look of anxiety on his face.
"We're not going to do anything about it, we have no business with them." The Lieutenant Colonel's intense stare pierced the icy black of the unknown. Those who were not immediately busy all agreed. "Inform FleetCom of our current status, and that we will be on the lookout for anything out here." An ensign manning one of the nearby communications stations sent an encrypted message detailing multiple critical points in their current operations.

Command: Svekk, what is your status

Jarus: you need to see this, some kind of alien something

Command: we see it, biologic are saying it could be some form of bioship

Jarus: whatever it is, it's had the hell blown out of it, there's this green mist everywhere, blocking my vision

Command: just fiddle with the atmospheric flight modes, you should be able to burn it off

Jarus: tried it, doesn't work, it's getting pretty bad, I can't see shit, abandoning mission, I'm heading back to the ship, we can scrub this stuff off there

Command: Ok, return to the ship, and keep an eye out for the Avatar, we know it is close by, stay away from them

Finally a sign came from the com and language section, the new message was translated, by just one entity, Trltz. He was the first one, who wanted to contact the Void Torment and now he was happy to give the result to Qrntz.
Of course, Qrntz wanted to know how Trltz was able to translate words into pictures. But Trltz did not answer and went away. But shortly after Qrntz found a memory splinter. Qrntz injected it.
It was weird to have someone else's memories inside your mind, but Qrntz looked at every second.
Trltz was sad, that the commander rejected his plan to contact the strangers, maybe he was right, but Trltz was too curious, to accept the commanders choice. So he built a machine, that extended his mind and with this machine he was in the minds of some of the people on the Void Torment. So now he was able to translate pictures into words, words that humans would associate with their pictures.
Qrntz went to Trltz and said to him, to send this message: "We no harm. We both cooperate to survive. We not shoot you, you not shoot us. We explore this alien structure, you can help. If you not accept, we have to take a hard decision. So just not shoot us. Your God bless you."
Qrntz hoped they would understand.

-Scout has returned to hangar
:::END:::

:::HANGAR:::
Jarus has just about been able to fly back into the hangar, her canopy was covered in a thin layer of green sludge. She pulled the lever which released the canopy, which swung open above her, allowing her to climb out. As she took a step down onto the ladder she almost slipped off immediately because of the green stuff, and on her next step, she did. Fortunately the SF-21 is a rather small craft, so she didn't have far to fall, though this was rather embarrassing in front of the flight crews.

As the decontamination crews moved in on her ship, she was led by a security robot to the decontamination section.


:::COMMAND:::

Ever Skytherian on board, except for those using the MOXUS system, heard the Avatar's message clear in their minds, with the exception of Commander Grey, who had it almost shouted into his mind.

Commander Grey: Telepaths... Ok, it would have helped to have known this sooner

Comms: we don't have any psychic transmitters on board sir

Commander Grey: You forget my powers...

Comms: sorry sir, you should handle this one


Commander Grey was one of the few Psyches in the Skytherian army, all Skytherians has some degree of psychic capabilities, but the Psyches stood out massively, they were extremely rare and could wield immense power.

It was simple for Grey to get inside the mind of the Chmmr captain, and his message was simple: we won't shoot
