       RP: The Researchers
       By: Zorbak the Ebil Moglin Date: March 7, 2022, 8:42 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       (RP For UNIT members to start)
       As the Intergalatic Researcher's alliance flagship, the Clara
       Rose, was traveling between universes, they felt the ship start
       shaking.
       As they do, Aizen Zarick looks to Data, the android at the helm.
       Zarick: Data. What's going on?
       Data: I am not sure sir. It seems our quantum drive is
       malfunctioning.
       Shinya: Impossible. Three of us checked it before we left.
       Data: It is not the drive itself sir. It appears to be
       gravitational distortion that is drawing us toward a specific
       universe. It is acting almost like a tractor beam on the ship as
       we move in between universes.
       Zarick sighs. Zarick: What are our options?
       Data: I calculate our best option as just going wherever the
       ship is being drawn to. If we try to fight it, we may incur more
       damage, which could tear the ship apart before we get free.
       Blademaster: And what awaits us in this universe? We do not know
       where we will end up. He says to the group.
       Zarick: Well. We'll be prepared and take on any threats when we
       arrive. For now, we definitely don't want to burn out the
       quantum drive while we're between dimensions. That would be very
       bad.
       Shinya: I agree.
       As the group set the course and allow the ship to be pulled by
       the distortion, they would soon find themselves in the London
       universe. As they arrive, Data does a quick diagnostic.
       Data: Quantum drive is functional sir. But we will not be able
       to navigate the distortion out of this universe until we figure
       out the source and find a way to counteract it. He looks at
       Earth on the view screen. Also... It would appear that we have
       stumbled onto one of the protected worlds. It seems there is a
       shield around this world, presumably to protect it from the
       Order of the Dragon's intergalatic fleet. He does a sensor scan.
       I do detect Wraith ships... But they are unlike any other wraith
       ships I have ever seen. They read.... He tilts his head in
       confusion. They read as replicator ships.
       Zarick: Well... This will be a weird one. He says with a shrug.
       As the alarms go off, almost on command as they had sensed the
       Wraith ships, the group gets ready.
       Zarick: Jega... Hailing frequencies. He says to Blademaster, who
       tries to open hailing frequencies.
       Blademaster: It seems they are answering our hail. He says,
       confused.
       Shinya: They are? Hold on, are we sure these are replicators?
       Data: I can confirm they are, sir... The information I'm getting
       confirms they are Asuran design replicators. He reports to the
       group.
       Zarick: On screen then. Let's talk. He says as he motions to
       Blademaster, who puts the message up on screen.
       As the message comes up, Michael the wraith, accompanied by two
       of his replicator clones, look to the group.
       Zarick: Hello. We are the Intergalatic Researchers Alliance. We
       come to this world on a peaceful mission. He says to Michael.
       Michael: I see. Your ship is of a unique design. And I find your
       crew of fascination to me. Just as Kindron Blackfire said. You
       will surrender to us, and I will bring you on board to study
       you. He says, looking at the group.
       Zarick: Study... us? He says, trying to understand what was
       going on.
       Data: Sir... The Wraith Replicator ship is powering weapons.
       Blademaster: Shields up. He says, in response to Data's comment
       about weapons. As Michael's ship fires on the Clara Rose, the
       shield seems to hold off the blasts coming from Michael's ship.
       Zarick: That is rather rude. He says as he stands up. We are
       peaceful explorers! We are not here to start a conflict!
       Michael: I will have your ship, and your crew. You will be
       assimilated.
       Shinya: What are you, a damn Borg?! He says sarcastically.
       Michael: Hold me off if you wish, but we will overwhelm you. He
       says as more of his ships appear.
       Butler: Sir... More ships have come out of hyperspace. And there
       is one hiding behind the moon... It's the Black Whale. The
       Blackfire flagship.
       Shinya and Zarick both scoff.
       Zarick: Great... The Order of the Dragon. Just what we need. He
       looks to Michael. Tell your boss to leave us alone. If he starts
       a fight with us, he knows darn well we can kick his ass for the
       upteenth time. He says to Michael.
       Michael: We are many... You are but one ship.
       Zarick: Oh... We are many as well. He says with a smile as he
       looks to Data. Data. Activate Quantum Shift.
       Data: Activating, sir. He says as he activates the quantum drive
       and uses the Quantum Shift. As he does, temporal distortions
       create what appear to be 50 Clara Rose temporal duplicates.
       Zarick: You're not the only one of us that can bring out
       numbers, Wraith. He says with a smile to Michael.
       Michael: So I see... But I know which ship you are in. So these
       other ships are of no consequen- Michael says, but is
       interrupted as the alternate Clara Rose ships destroy much of
       Michael's ships, and damages his main ship. Impossible! He says
       as he and his clones try to reorient themselves.
       Zarick: Even if you destroy us, as long as one of our duplicates
       survives, we survive. He says to Michael.
       Michael: Fascinating... I must learn more about this technology
       you possess. He says in response.
       Data: Sir... Should I release an anti-replicator wave? He says
       to Zarick.
       Zarick: No. We don't want to release that wave if we can help
       it... It might hinder us leaving this universe. He says to Data.
       He then turns to Michael on the screen. Now... Leave this place.
       I won't ask a second time.
       Michael sighs but keeps a calm expression. Michael: So be it...
       We will withdraw... For now. He says as his ship starts flying
       away.
       Data goes over the scans as the Quantum Shift deactivates and
       the temporal duplicates disappear. Data: Sir... The ships are
       withdrawing. But the Black Whale is holding its position behind
       the moon.
       Zarick: Is our anti-teleportation ward working? He asks Data.
       Data: Yes sir. Only authorized personnel can be transported.
       Zarick: And what about the planet? Any word on the where we can
       go to get authorization to enter the shield?
       Data: It appears a place in London controls entrance to through
       the shield. A place termed "UNIT."
       Zarick thinks for a moment. Zarick: Butler. I want you with us
       on coms. Keep the ship on autopilot, and navigate the ship away
       if needed. I want Shinya, Jega, and Data with me down on the
       planet.
       Butler: Is that wise, sir?
       Zarick: Don't worry. Call us back if you have any issues. If so
       much as a rat comes out of the vents, I want you to bring us
       back. He says as he gets up.
       Data: Inquiry, Captain... Why send all of us down to the
       surface? He asks Zarick.
       Zarick: Because. If the Order is here, we may need to talk to
       the people the Order are fighting here on this world. It would
       be useful to have the main group with us down there if we need
       to introduce ourselves to the people who are going to let us
       through the shield. Butler can monitor us through comms, and
       once we get authorization, we can bring the ship down to the
       surface out of attack range of the Order. He explains. Alright
       Butler... Transport the four of us to this UNIT place.
       Butler: Transporting sir... Do make it fast though. It will be
       pretty lonely up here without you. He says jokingly.
       Butler transports Shinya, Zarick, Blademaster and Data outside
       of the UNIT building, and the group goes inside.
       Zarick: So who do we talk to exactly? He asks, not sure who to
       go to.

       By: Raven Tepes Date: March 8, 2022, 1:30 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       UNIT's main United Kingdom facilities is a large
       British-American military air field with buildings from the
       1930s and 1940s but far new vehicles and equipment. The main
       command hall is the building that the group had entered. The
       soldiers are quick circle the four men with high tech assault
       rifles steadily aimed. Sergeant Thames: Halt and place your
       hands in the air, intruders! You've entered a secured facility
       without proper authorization and are under detention. Sergeant
       Thames then calls out to another soldier. Sergeant Thames:
       Contact General Pilgrim and inform that we have intruders in the
       main command hall.
       The soldier is quick to follow orders and gets on his
       communicator. Soldier: General Pilgrim, we have approached and
       contained four intruders here at Asbury RAF base.
       Pilgrim: Very good, soldier. Hawkeye and I will be there in just
       a moment. Just keep cool and don't let them leave. Pilgrim
       responds to the soldier through the communication system of the
       UNIT air defense carrier ship just above the air base. He then
       looks to Hawkeye as he turns and walks to the main flight deck.
       Pilgrim: Hawkeye, you're with me since Zelpharia went up to join
       Admiral Khadh on his Bird of Prey.
       Hawkeye: Gotcha. He says as he follows Pilgrim while grabbing up
       his bow and quiver of arrows and puts them on. Hawkeye: Do you
       think that these "intruders" could be potential allies, Jim?
       Pilgrim: I know they took on those Wraith Replicator ships and
       scared them off without needing our Klingon allies assistance.
       If that was a scam to get our trust, then I'll sniff the truth
       out quick.
       Hawkeye: So basically the usual "silent good cop, smartass cop"
       routine then?
       Pilgrim: Yep.
       Meanwhile in orbit on the cloaked Bird of Prey called the
       Dakurrd, Zelpharia and her friend, Admiral Trovon Khadh, had
       watched the Clara Rose and her crew stand up to the Wraith
       ships. Both had decided that the fleet would standby in case the
       captain of the Clara Rose called for help so they could gage her
       performance. Trovon: Now there was a trick that I haven't seen a
       starship do before. Trovon says after watching the Clara Rose
       create temporal duplicates, take out several Wraith ships, and
       then return to normal. Trovon: How about you, Zelpharia?
       Zelpharia: Time Lords from both Celestians and Gallifreyans have
       discussed and experimented with such temporal distortion but
       never really perfected it. Fascinating really.
       One of the Klingons sitting at the scanners control looks over
       to Trovon and Zelpharia. Klingon warrior: Admiral, we've
       detected four transporter signatures being sent to Earth.
       Signature of transporter energy is similar to Vulcan and several
       other Federation ship signatures.
       Zelpharia: Well.. They're either allies or well played trap as
       only Federation ships can use transporter beams to go to Earth.
       She says with a concerned yet fascinated look and tone.
       Trovon: Lieutenant, contact our other ships and tell them to
       hold. Ensign, take us closer and decloak. Trovon says with his
       concern and curiosity.
       Zelpharia: Are you sure about this, old friend?
       Trovon: Best way to find out if they're friend or foe is to
       outright greet them. If we're fired upon, then the fleet moves
       in. If they communicate through hailing frequency, then they're
       potential allies. He says with a reassuring smile to Zelpharia.
       The Dakurrd is decloaked and is visible on all scanners as the
       Bird of Prey pulls along side the Clara Rose.  Trovon: Open
       hailing frequency. Trovon waits for a moment and then speaks out
       to the Clara Rose. Trovon: This is Admiral Trovon Khadh of the
       Intergalactic Federation of Planets with Colonel Zelpharia
       Tolodora the Celestian representative from Earth contacting
       unknown starship. We request that you state your business and
       reason for entering Federation protected space around the
       planet. If request is not answered within five minutes, then we
       will be forced to remove you from the vicinity of Earth by any
       means possible.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In space.
       Butler heard the message from the Dakurrd. Butler: Oh dear...
       Poor luck I dare say. He says to himself that they'd appear
       right after Zarick and his group transported down.
       On the bridge with Zelpharia and Trovon, Butler projects himself
       using holographic projection in a manner that they may recognize
       as being very similar to Asgard holographic communication.
       Though unlike Asgard projection, this projection didn't affect
       the Dakurrd's systems (as Asgard projection would have shut down
       any other system around the projection) and was just a simple
       projection. Unlike what they might expect though, Butler was not
       in a humanoid form, and looked more like an animated green block
       with eyes on it.
       Butler: Please do not shoot. We come in peace. I am the AI
       Butler of the Clara Rose, and AI to our captain, Aizen Zarick.
       Our command crew is currently on the surface trying to negotiate
       with the people of this Earth to allow us safe passage to your
       world, so attacking us at our weakest would be what we in the
       business call "a dick move." He says to Zelpharia and Trovon.
       On the ground.
       Blademaster: I can destroy their weapons if you wish, Captain. A
       group of humans shouldn't be too hard to take down. He says
       quietly to Zarick.
       Aizen: No, Jega... We don't want to start a conflict. He steps
       forward, putting his hands in the air. Though he had two energy
       swords on a device on his back (which the handles of the swords
       would come up over his shoulders, he makes it a point not to
       move his hands toward his energy swords. I am Aizen Zarick, of
       the Intergalatic Researcher's Alliance. We are peaceful
       explorers of the Multiverse. We came to see if someone would
       allow our ship safe passage after we were attacked by Asuran
       Replicator/Wraith... things... He says the last part hesitantly,
       still not entirely sure what the wraith Michael really was.
       Shinya: Hmm... Maybe we should have called ahead and made an
       appointment? He says jokingly. He then psychically calls to
       Butler. Butler... Please be ready to transport us if needed.
       However, as Butler was communicating with Zelpharia and Trovon,
       he couldn't respond immediately to Shinya without cutting off
       his communication with Zelpharia and Trovon, which Shinya
       notices immediately that Butler didn't respond to him.

       By: Raven Tepes Date: March 8, 2022, 11:30 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In Space:
       Trovon and Zelpharia both look to the holographic projection of
       Butler. Trovon raises an eyebrow at the hologram as he had
       expected to just be communicated with through the hailing
       frequency but doesn't seem the typical Klingon in terms of
       visible aggression towards the hologram's appearance unlike the
       others on the bridge. Instead, he's more curious as he and
       Zelpharia listen to Butler. Trovon: Ah.. an artificial
       intelligent starship. Now the hologram makes more sense even if
       a bit unexpected. Thank you for responding and confirming that
       you are not an enemy. Trovon looks to his security officer.
       Trovon: Stand down photon and sonic weapons but remain on
       standby as the Black Whale is still nearby. We want to make sure
       the Clara Rose remains covered while her command crew is on the
       surface. Trovon then turns back to Butler and the conversation
       at hand.
       Zelpharia keeps a calm and friendlier look on her face as she
       listens to Butler. She then gets a concerned look when Butler
       mentions the crew went to Earth. That would mean going to UNIT
       and speaking with Pilgrim or one of the other UNIT command
       leaders, and UNIT doesn't like unexpected visitors. Zelpharia:
       You said your command crew went to the surface. Exactly where
       did they transport to on Earth? She already has a feeling that
       she knows the answer and prepares to call UNIT even though she
       waits for the answer.
       On the ground:
       Sergeant Thames lowers his weapon, replaces it on his back, and
       steps forward towards Aizen in a more peaceful yet still on
       guard manner. He gives his men a hand gesture to tell them to
       relax but remain on guard which the soldiers follow by lowering
       their weapons but keeping them in hand. Sergeant Thames: UNIT
       was monitoring your encounter through multiple systems. Please
       excuse our response to your arrival and subsequent entry to the
       command hall, but I am sure that you can understand all things
       considering and standard military procedure. UNIT command
       leader, General Pilgrim, will be arriving shortly to discuss
       your request. Until then... He then puts his hand out towards
       Aizen for a handshake. Sergeant Thames: Sergeant Elijah Thames
       of the UNIT Asbury Skyhawk Division.
       On the UNIT air defense helicarrier:
       Pilgrim and Hawkeye walk out on to the helicarrier's main flight
       deck as a pilot in a helicopter finishes up the final checks
       before take off. Hawkeye: Do you really think these people could
       be a threat to Earth?
       Pilgrim: My instincts tell me no so we can take this a bit more
       laid back. No sense in starting a conflict when not needed.
       Besides what villain is boldly stupid enough to just transport
       into a highly secured, heavily armed military base without
       taking out defenses first?
       Hawkeye: Someone who is as highly trained as I am and can pretty
       much make it through any defense. Hawkeye says with a bit of a
       smartass tone as the two men reach the helicopter.
       Pilgrim: Now that's not stupidity. That's just ego. Pilgrim says
       as he speaks louder to be heard over the helicopter's engines.
       He then climbs in the helicopter as Hawkeye chuckles a bit.
       Hawkeye then climbs in next to Pilgrim, and Pilgrim taps the
       pilot as he puts on a headset. Pilgrim: Alright. Let's take this
       bird to the ground and say hello to our guests. The pilot nods
       and takes off for the UNIT base below the helicarrier.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In space.
       Butler: I am not the starship. Just controlling it remotely
       while in its systems. I actually belong to our captain as his
       personal AI unit for his Spartan armor and he redesignated me to
       operate the starship when he is not present. He says, correcting
       Trovon. He then turns to Zelpharia. They teleported down to
       London... According to our sources, a place called UNIT was in
       charge of the shields? They went to negotiate safe passage
       through. He noticed Zelpharia looking a bit worried. Was that
       not the right move? Should I beam them back? I could send the
       Shadow Troopers or the Magna-guards to help them, but Captain
       Zarick assumed that the base would be friendly, and we certainly
       don't want to start another fight.
       On the ground.
       Shinya: Command hall? He says looking over to Data.
       Data tilts his head in confusion. Data: Our sensors must have
       malfunctioned. I set the teleportation outside of the base. It
       is possible the time-space distortion did more damage to the
       ship than previously thought. I will have to have Butler help me
       do a full diagnostic when we return.
       Zarick shakes Thames hand. Zarick: A pleasure to meet you,
       Sergeant. He motions back to his crew. My first officer, Dr.
       Ward Shinya. Blademaster Jega 'Rdomnai, and don't worry if you
       can't pronounce his name, most people can't. He just prefers his
       title Blademaster anyway. And last but not least, Lieutenant
       Commander Data. He says, introducing his crew.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In space:
       Zelpharia: No, you don't have to transport them back from the
       surface and definitely do not send any troops. Don't need to
       make the situation bad. She says as she relaxes a bit. Her
       concern isn't for how Captain Aizen and his people will be
       treated but for where they could've ended up. Earth's shield
       system is set that only starships with Federation signatures can
       safely use transporter technology and will reroute intruders
       straight to an armed UNIT military base. Hearing that the crew
       went to Earth to speak with UNIT makes her less worried as that
       is where the crew will end up. Zelpharia: You all should have
       used hailing frequencies first, but your Captain Zarick and his
       crew should be fine. They'll probably just be detained by UNIT
       personnel until one of the UNIT commanders can meet with them.
       Earthlings and the Federation have been on edge about unfamiliar
       starships and their crews, but you all have seen the good reason
       why we would be. She opens her Torchwood issued communicator.
       Zelpharia: I'll just contact General Pilgrim and inform him that
       Captain Zarick and crew are peaceful. She turns her communicator
       to UNIT's frequency and steps away to call Pilgrim. Zelpharia:
       James, this is Agent Tolodora of Torchwood. Admiral Khadh and I
       have made contact with the unknown starship and confirmed
       peaceful intent.
       Pilgrim: "That's good to hear, Zeph. Is that who's now at UNIT's
       Asbury RAF base?"
       Zelpharia: Yes, sir. Captain Aizen Zarick and three of his
       people have been transported to discuss entry into Earth's
       shielding system.
       Pilgrim: "10-4. Hawkeye and I are already on our way down to the
       command hall building on the base to have that little discussion
       now. Can you and Admiral Khadh keep an eye on the Order until
       the negotiations are completed?"
       Zelpharia: We are already in holding pattern next to their ship
       with 10 cloaked Bird of Prey starships and 5 cloaked Negh'Var
       warships along with a Celestian fighter fleet in Antarctica at
       the ready should the Order try anything.
       Pilgrim: "Perfect! Then hold for further instructions. Pilgrim
       out."
       While Zelpharia talks with Pilgrim on the ground, Trovon takes
       the opportunity to find out more about Butler and the Clara
       Rose. Trovon: So, Butler, you're the AI of your captain's armor,
       but how can you also control the ship? Was your programming
       altered to fit it or was the ships programming altered to adapt
       to you?
       On the ground:
       Sergeant Thames: Nice to meet all of you and glad to see that
       you managed to handle the Order's ships. He says as he completes
       the handshake with Aizen. Sergeant Thames: As for how you all
       ended up outside of the command hall building instead of the
       base itself is a simple answer. He says to Shinya and Data as he
       gives the hand signal for his men to stand at ease which they
       follow and put their weapons away. Sergeant Thames: The planet's
       defense shielding is designed to reroute all unknown transporter
       signatures to land in the middle of a heavily armed UNIT
       military base. So it more than likely wasn't your ship's sensors
       as much as being the defense system itself. Basically standard
       supernatural teleportation and Time Lord technology are the only
       methods of reaching the surface without interference. Sergeant
       Thames gets a more friendly smile and less drill sergeant
       strict. Sergeant Thames: Luckily you all arrived when General
       Pilgrim is in the area instead of General Deimos, or we would be
       escorting all of you to the stockade. Outside the command hall,
       the UNIT helicopter that Pilgrim and Hawkeye prepares for
       landing as Pilgrim finishes his brief conversation with
       Zelpharia. The sound of the helicopter alerts Sergeant Thames to
       Pilgrim's arrival as he finishes what he says.

       In space.
       Butler: I possess the ability to move between computer systems
       freely as long as there is a network for me to jump to. It is
       best when Captain Zarick uses the chip that contains me and uses
       my chip to connect to a system so that I have a central anchor
       point to return to if anything happens, but I can move from the
       chip into other systems without needing it. He modified the ship
       so that he could insert the chip into the systems of the Clara
       Rose so I could move directly to the main computer where I
       remain when on the ship. He explains to Trovon.
       On the ground.
       Blademaster: If he had given an order to try and contain us, I
       would have had no choice but to take your soldiers down.
       Aizen: Well... Thankfully, it didn't come to that... It sounds
       like the last thing any of us wanted was a fight... Well...
       Except for Jega who is always ready to fight. He says jokingly
       with a shrug.
       Blademaster: The Sangheili are warriors... We are not usually
       ones for subtlety, only for defeating any opposition. He says in
       response to Aizen.
       Shinya: Thankfully, your time with us has made you a bit more
       social.  He says, tapping Blademaster's chest armor plate with
       his finger jokingly.
       Data was more interested in the teleportation explanation as he
       looks to Thames. Data: Fascinating. It seems that the world
       shields have been upgraded from the last few we had seen in
       other worlds. Normally they would not be able to reroute
       teleportations like that. I did not anticipate that such an
       upgrade could or even would be made to those shields. It is an
       ingenious idea.

       In space:
       Trovon: Absolutely fascinating. I know several Klingon computer
       engineers who would enjoy learning more about how you function
       and how your captain made such modifications. I also know a few
       starship builders in the Federation who would also be interested
       in exchanging notes about ship designs. Trovon says with an
       impressed look on his face. As a warrior scholar, he finds new
       encounters with unknown people and technology absolutely
       fascinating. Trovon: It was impressive how the Clara Rose was
       able to make so many powerful copies of itself. I have only seen
       holographic copies that were either useless or far weaker than
       the original in terms of photon weapons.
       Zelpharia turns back around as she closes her communicator after
       finishing her report to Pilgrim. She can hear the conversation
       that Trovon and Butler are having and is just as interested as
       Trovon in the abilities of the Clara Rose. Something about it
       almost reminds her of theorized Time Lord technology that was
       never seen to fruition. Zelpharia decides to remain quiet for
       right now and let Trovon do the talking.
       On the ground:
       Sergeant Thames raises an eyebrow to Blademaster as he makes a
       comment about taking down his men but smiles knowing that his
       men aren't as easy to take down as normal soldiers would be. He
       decides to make his own comment in response with a confident
       grin before answering Data. Sergeant Thames: My men and I would
       have proven harder than one would think to take down and perhaps
       would've proven worthy opponents.. in just our infinitary battle
       armor. But like your captain has pointed out, Blademaster Jega,
       none of us really wanted a fight. Though the Skyhawk division is
       more than happy to train with you any time you wish to test us.
       Sergeant Thames and his men have been training with Klingon
       warriors lately and has come to understand races who find combat
       honorable. He then looks to Data with a more friendly smile.
       Sergeant Thames: I only understand how our S.A.M.U.S. flight
       battlesuits, my cybernetics, and other combat related technology
       works. You'll have to talk with either Colonel Zelpharia
       Tolodora from Torchwood or Miss Nikki Straver who's on loan from
       Hellsing. Miss Straver is in the shield's control center two
       levels below us and would probably love to have a conversation
       with you about the shield and yourself. First though, the four
       of you need to talk to our command leader.
       Once the helicopter touches down and begins engine shutdown,
       Pilgrim and Hawkeye are quick to remove their headsets and climb
       out. The two men briskly walk to the Asbury command hall, not
       really stopping to salute random passing soldiers. Hawkeye: Well
       no one is really running around in high alert and no sounds of
       fighting so that's one good sign.
       Pilgrim: Yes, it is but don't hold your breath just yet. We
       still have to talk to our guests and see if they're our new
       friends.
       Hawkeye: I say that if there's no sounds of panic or fighting
       that it's a pretty good sign the newcomers are friendly.
       Pilgrim: And I say there's always a chance that this could be an
       Order trick to gain entry to Earth.
       Hawkeye: Good thing you're a psychic then. Hawkeye says
       sarcastically.
       Pilgrim: Exactly why I'm glad it's me talking to these people
       instead of General Deimos.
       Hawkeye: Oh there would definitely be fighting if Deadeye Deimos
       was here.
       Pilgrim: Exactly why he doesn't check on or have say over any of
       the five defense shield command bases. Pilgrim says as he pauses
       for a moment at the command hall's doors and looks to Hawkeye
       with a smug grin as he puts a hand on a door handle.

       In space.
       Butler: I would have to speak with Captain Zarick about that
       one. The Intergalactic Researcher's Alliance has a rule about
       interfering in the natural development of a race. Similar to the
       Federation's Prime Directive. We have to be careful we don't
       give technology too advanced to specific races beyond what they
       can handle. But Captain Zarick does often trade technology with
       other races in other universes. Our ship is the result of our
       travels through the multiverse. We have technology from
       Ancients, to Borg, to Romulan, to Federation technology, to
       Asgard, to Gou'ald, races from the Galactic Empire, the
       Covenant, the Gallefryians, Celestians, and a number of other
       races. The Clara Rose is the crowning accomplishment of Captain
       Zarick's travels through the multiverse.
       On the Ground.
       Blademaster: Well... Either I would have fought through your
       people or died honorably in combat. He says in response to
       Thames when he mentions his soldiers are stronger than he
       thinks.
       Zarick: It's fine. I don't mind waiting as long as our ship
       isn't attacked in orbit again. If there was one thing I've
       learned about the different replicator races I've fought, it's
       that the same tactic rarely ever works twice. And we really
       don't want to resort to our anti-replicator wave if we can help
       it. For your galaxy's sake at least. It doesn't help that the
       wraith we saw... Well, I've encountered him in a few other
       universes, and he's quite a handful when he was just creating
       wraith/human hybrids. I don't know what to expect from an Asuran
       Replicator version of him, or even how he got his hands on such
       technology.
       Shinya: Wait... S.A.M.U.S. Battle suits? Is there a Samus Aran
       in this universe? He asks curiously after hearing Thames mention
       the battle suits, as the name seemed familiar to him.

       In space:
       Trovon: We generally have the same protocol for the Federation
       in this universe and stick to it fairly well so I do understand
       why your captain must be spoken to first. Though this Earth has
       been having outside influences for hundreds of thousands of
       years on and off. They're close to warp drive technology and
       have even developed technology we've never seen before. Such as
       an android so finely developed that she can use psychic powers,
       mechanized power suits, and nanites among a few things.
       Zelpharia decides to join in. Zelpharia: There's also the fact
       that Earth is one of two main governmental hubs for the
       Celestian Democratic Federation in this quadrant of space.
       Trovon: Yes, can't forget that. Pretty much the Federation here
       has recently begun trading some technology with the humans
       because of multiple reasons.
       On the ground:
       Pilgrim opens the door to the command hall as Blademaster
       finishes talking and walks in with a silent,  serious Hawkeye
       right behind him. Pilgrim let's his psychic senses scan for the
       intentions of the newcomers as he listens to them talk for a
       moment while closing the door quietly. He then grins when he
       hears Shinya ask about the S.A.M.A.S. battle armor and realizes
       that Sergeant Thames must have mispronounced the anagram again.
       Pilgrim: Actually the suits are called S.A.M.A.S. which stands
       for Strategic Armor Military Assault Suit. Sergeant Thames and a
       few others of the Skyhawk Sam 1st Division tend to mispronounce
       the anagram. Pilgrim says with a nonchalant, almost friendly
       tone as he and Hawkeye walk towards Aizen, his group, and the
       UNIT soldiers. Pilgrim: So unfortunately we don't know if any of
       these Samus Aran exist in this universe. I do apologize for the
       confusion though.
       Upon hearing Pilgrim, Sergeant Thames becomes more soldier in
       his demeanor and stands straight. Sergeant Thames: General in
       building! Company, attention! The soldiers surrounding Aizen and
       his people part for Pilgrim and stand at attention with uniform
       sound from their feet coming together. Sergeant Thames: Salute!
       The entire company then salute Pilgrim in sync which he returns
       to the soldiers.
