Your Time Has Come Again​

MERN ISS Aiathogu - Kibothamila Ithaca-Class War Titan Leviathan​


Matters of permission would be taken care of by Uaeso's father, for him, the decisions had already been made. With or without it would be a situation of volunteers when it came to going back. One way or another with this recent storm that had developed at Ayenee; there was only a question of how long and how official it would be. While his father made plans to meet with Taisho Yui, he and his wife returned to the Leviathan Aiathogu and put the brakes on the demilitarization plans for Aiathogu and the other two former MERN non-civilian Leviathans. Uaeso walked through the former Slyph holding area, the forcefields down, the containment cells open, he passed several Slyphs as well as their brood on his way to Gothuau. "How do you feel my friend?" he asked as he approached the open paddock, his hands held just slightly outwards from his sides not that he worried anymore about any of them taking him as a threat.

A snort of air pushed from Gothuau's nostrils as she reared her head, the tentacle manubrium around her armored skull slithered into motion as she reared her head back and then pushed forwards towards the Prince to meet his hand, her claws raked across the deck plates and she let out a bit of a pitched squeal before she clicked her tongue a few times and responded through the vesper //'We are good. We are healthy,"// the Slyph responded with a trill.

"We're waiting on my father, but we might all be Star Army and on a mission soon. Aiathogu will be going back with us. This means there will be people here again, I want to leave the paddocks open, no forcefields, no punishments. You think you can talk the others into being tolerant and peaceful?" He asked as he waited for her to move her tail before he reached for the youngling and lightly touched the rubbery black flesh of its skin, its eyes opened briefly then faded back into their flesh as it gurgled in contentment.

Gothuau clicked her tongue again and made a strange whine-like chuckling noise, //"Aiathogu already told us, we are with you Prince. Just..."// she leaned down and nudged the youngling briefly, //"...should we be lost to ensure the safety of our young,"// Her twelve eyes opened all at once reflecting the image of the Norian Prince within the swirling black of their centers.

Uaeso retracted his hand slowly from the youngling and nodded, "Like they are my very own, you and Morthau are family to Naika and me. Just make sure you all back up before we leave." He got back up to his feet and turned back the way he had come, "Speaking of Naika, I need to find her. See you later, also Morthau...get off the ceiling," he commented without turning back, finally picking out the fact Gothuau's mate had been clung to the ceiling above them the entire time.

Bridge​

"Why do you feel self-conscious? I don't understand, you never seemed to care anymore," Former Admiral Aphelion said from under the operations table, the panel on the floor next to her along with an assortment of tools. She felt strange being on the Leviathan out of uniform, surely a Star Army uniform would come once Airwin got done doing what he needed to do. She reached down for another tool, and went back to trying to reactivate the connection between the conventionally built terminal and Aiathogu's neural interface.

Aiathogu responded, "Have you seen the avatars of these Star Army ships? They're gorgeous."

Aphelion laughed a little, "You want to make yourself look like one? Why don't you? You can look like anything you want," she said as she continued her work. "Wait a minute, are you looking for a date? I'm not sure their ships are alive in the sense that you are, that could be awkward. They might take it wrong and aether blast you if you start getting all touchy, might want to stick to the avatar ideas," She took a deep breath and there was a short spark and the sound of the console above her as it powered up. "You want to run a diagnostic on that or should we start discussing furry ears?" she questioned.
 

Bridge​

Aiagothu reported, "All systems normal, well normal except that connection ghost," she brought up a communications signal analysis. It was repeating and didn't make any sense at all. Aphelion studied the "ghost" connection, it was almost like something that had been cut free of the mindhive tether and was trying to re-establish the connection. The problem was the signal position was in hyperspace not in real space and appeared to lack the power to transmit its full registration.

"Hm, let's see if we can amplify on our end, launch a BAD(Battlefield Assistance Drone) and use it to amplify the receiver's power on our end," the former Admiral stated as she tried to make sense of the broken data. There was one thing that was certain, it was Norian. Perhaps one of Airwin's uncle's ships was sitting cloaked? She was not just going to let it go, be it a ghost signal that had somehow bounced through relays or something else. The drone zipped from one of the Leviathan's launch tubes and set up position a short distance away from its mothership.

Aigothu reported, "Drone active, mindhive connection to drone complete. Initializing channel scan and priority authorization repeat on all encrypted old frequencies."

Aphelion watched the screen, the signal appeared to shift again but then the connection was formed. She read the screen and her eyes narrowed, MERN Keigonyo and its associated registry flashed on the screen with 'IDE TRANSMISSION TOWER - POSITIVE - LORENZ \\Vaalor City North Tower'. She almost screamed, she very well might but it came out as more of a yelp. There was a flash on the main projection screen as the MERN Resurrection ship plowed from the tans-universal passage into realspace. The massive Battlecruiser still had its prototype IDE reception tower intact, along with what appeared to be the four main lobes of its storage facility. No life signs were shown onboard save for a solitary mindhive that appeared to have been nested in with the storage facility in a last-ditch effort, the ship had followed them.

"Uaeso! Naika! Get up here, you wouldn't I mean you would but wow just come to see this!" She almost jumped up and down she was so excited, "Aigothu, confirm the condition and inventory of the souls in storage on that ship, someone needs to tell Airwin." There were actual tears running down her face as she worked with the Leviathan on the data they would need.

NAIKA

Naika walked through the passageways of the Aiathogu reminiscing as the sound of her boots echoed. These hallowed halls held many memories both good and bad. Since trading in her job with the Yaducath to fulfill responsibilities with the Imperial Bloc she longed to get back into action again. Sitting idle made her a little stir crazy, much like her husband. She had returned with Uaeso to halt the original plans for the non-civilian Leviathans. Of course she had meant to go meet up with her husband, but she got the call from Aphelion and went right up to the bridge. They never got time together anymore it seemed.

She ran onto the bridge, "What's going on?" she inquired. It was not often that someone summoned her with such excitement. Her head tilted to the side when the woman's next words came out. "What exactly are we telling Airwin?" she asked
 
Aphelion bowed deeply as she crossed her right arm over her chest and tapped her first against her shoulder, "Look at this," Aphelion said as she blew up the image of the MERN Keigonyo, and then said, "It a resurrection ship, one of the receiver towers that was supposed to theoretically cover high populated areas, and its tower and archive are intact," she said as the report came back on the scans Aiathogu had been directed to make.

523,984,573 IDE records intact. Confirmed records VIP, classified Shadowguard in mindhive database.

"If these reports are right, we're going to need to hurry up with building our new home. There are millions on that ship waiting to be given bodies, not to mention some of Airwin's Shadowguard," the former Admiral said with excitement. "Sorry, Sorry, your majesty, it was rude of me to just start rattling on to you," she said as she made a few more gracious salutes.

Uaeso had arrived on the bridge as they spoke, "Am I dreaming?" he said quietly as he walked up behind Naika, and curled his arms around her smaller frame. He looked at the projection of the ship, "Well I think we just answered questions about where to find crew if father's meeting with the Taisho goes as planned," he said as he considered the impact of the return of his father's special protectors, "Which Shadowguard is sleeping though? They wouldn't just be held as IDEs my guess is they'd be preserved in cryogenic freeze. We should probably work that out before we go blowing up father's messages while he is on business to the Star Army," he suggested and awaited his wife's reactions and analysis as well.

BRIDGE - NAIKA

Naika returned Aphelion's salute in a quick, sharp manner and looked to the image the Admiral had enlarged. Her eyes shot opened wide in shock as she silently tilted her head to the side. "No, no, no Admiral. This is just such a situation that warrants it!" she said equally as excited. She returned the salutes expeditiously and her ears twitched when she heard her husband's voice. "Uaeso-ko! You are not dreaming." she gave a little excited hop before settling into his arms just barely nuzzling his cheek. Her eyes flicked back to the projection.

It would be a task to get the normal IDE records situated into some semblance or normalcy. However, an issue of quite immense concern rested with the Shadowguard. What state were they in? Were they all sleeping or were some held as IDEs and some put in cryogenic freeze? Her eyes stayed peeled on the projection. "We definitely need to work that out before alerting him." she nodded in agreement. "How do we go about confirming without raising undue alarm?" she mentioned to Uaeso and Aphelion.
 
Uaeso examined what was in front of them from over his wife's shoulder, "Hm, theoretically they should be all asleep, but knowing my father there is some kind of safeguard that might wake the Shadowguard from their rest if the ship is boarded," he said almost as if he was speaking his own thought process. He reluctantly left her hold as he stepped up to the console with Aphelion. "Lorenz was destroyed three years ago, meaning those on board are not privy to everything, it's likely the tracking to us was done by the Mindhive. Waking up in a different universe without any knowledge of what has happened isn't going to be easy for those who are sleeping. The ones stored in IDE can stay there until the cities are built unless we need additional crew we can produce bodies for them," he continued as he looked over the scans. "I suppose the easiest way is just for us to go over, maybe Naika and I's presence will help ease them into the here and now," he said, thankfully it was not a full sleeper ship, and mostly IDE backups, either way, the Shadowguard were some of their finest and those were his primary concern.

Aphelion suggested, "I can disable the alert systems remotely, at least that way if they wake up before you get to them they won't wake to the blaring of alarms and alerts." She looked to Naika, "Your Slyphs might be a good idea, just in case things don't go as planned or if this is some kind of trap," she suggested respectfully.
 
Naika straightened up a bit with a soft sigh when her husband stepped away from their embrace and ran her hands over her outfit. "Naturally that is the only logical move. Is there a way we can find out what that is or can we get in without the ship detecting us?" she inquired. Surely there had to be some way in for circumstances such as this, but if there was she was not aware of its existence. "Then again, how fast would this process be, surely it would take them sometime to fully wake. Even if there is no way for us to get in without waking them, if we can figure out where it is they are....we could greet them when they wake to help ease the transition." she stated as she quieted to listen to his continued words. Naika turned to Aphelion, "Both of those are an excellent idea! Hopefully Morthau is not hiding in the ceilings again. Seems to be a thing he likes to do." she smiled a little. The admiral's word made her think of who would set such a trap like this and if it was a trap, why?

Her mind wandered over the possibilities of what could be found in there and why it had been missing for so long. "How did it find its way here?" she thought . She looked back to her husband, "We should approach this carefully. In the event this is some kind of twisted trap we need to be ready." she mentioned as she observed his continued viewing of the images.
 
"All Command Functions have been transferred to Rivaen Eitan"

-Fade to Black-

Several Hours Later​

It had all happened so quickly, the second Uaeso's brother had slipped past the Aiathogu's security systems the Leviathan recognized the higher ranking Prince and proper authorization of the Shadowguard for command. Uaeso groaned as his vision blurred, he reached back feeling the place where the rifle had struck him. The place where he was, held was familiar even with his eyes blurred he could tell he was in one of the Slyph pens. He tried to get up but could not, he could feel his Slyph, the Admiral, and Naika nearby but didn't have the strength. He lost consciousness again as the low vibration of the Leviathan as it entered the transuniversal slipstream.

As discussed with @Nakshatra just ending this thread since it was left hanging.
