-Harlothian Ship-

Data from the probes are being sent back to the Harlothian ship. The probe sent to Saturn and Jupiter have reported large amounts of activity among the moons of those planets, but the probes have not yet been discovered. The probes sent to Earth and Venus are still en route, with the Earth probe nearly arrived. Data was already coming in that suggested that it was the main inhabited planet however. The probe sent to Mars however was yielding the most interesting results...

Science officer: "Shipmaster Har'aal, the seeing pod sent to the small planet is receiving a transmission. We also have data on several large space stations and warships orbiting."

Har'aal: "Has the thinker processed the transmission yet?"

Science officer: "The thinker is still processing it. It appears to be a message in the indigenous species' language. Other seeing pods are picking up other transmissions, our thinker might be able to decipher their language soon."

Har'aal: "Show the stations on the viewer."

The footage of the Aneph stations and ships is shown on a viewing monitor. The Harlothian captain absently chews on a pice of plant materiel as he watches, before finally speaking.

Har'aal: "That is a large station. Continue data gathering, they don't seem too hostile yet, but I want more to go on before we go in ourselves. Have the seeing pod at the active planet move a bit further out, that should show it to not be aggressive."

The probes continue to gather data, and trying to pick up more transmissions in the hopes of deciphering Human languages. The probe at Mars fires it's engine for a short burst to widen its orbit, an attempt at a non-aggressive gesture without any communications established yet...
