>>5682108getting something into orbit, that pans out best as a small satellite station manned by a couple of scientists trained for this kind of thing, which is deployed like a fat egg amid some other, distracting, space garbage and ship wreckage. they will keep watch, don't worry about it
the furries answer they are merely mercenaries, and by the looks of it their home society is advanced to their age of tech and not to be fucked around with. they will be a problem if they ever win the local gang wars.
the canine things just want booty, a good time, and pirate/buccaneer work. the fact that aliens arrived and gave them all a lift after some contact and mild territory sparring, which thankfully disrupted a trench war that would have killed many people, that just made it easier.
the squids, they're the weirdest becuase the Elder things get referred to in the tones of gods, and lords, and feudal obligations. their implied subjection, and role here now is less nice then the other two, but valid now, just the same
you gather this Elder thing race just kind of drifts where the galactic wind takes them. speaking of the Elder things dont even have a reason, in specifics, this is just what they do, spreading, seeding, and settling when possible, throughout the cosmos, disorganized and wild
all four are for hire and you could snag a small batch of each for the right price. choose carefully, those furries look, sickly...and not to be trusted, as most furries are, or course.
the specter language is...working as intended? or at least, no one seems to remember it changing, it's always been like this, and, there are some suspicions an observer can make about it. the science boys need to take a long look at what the fuck is breaking reality or the senses so hard here with it.
as for the B4 news, you get a message bounced from the ship, that, the ground crews efforts to make a plane worked...and then the plane crashed, becuase pilot error. they will make a new one, they assure you. cannons for orbital, they just managed to do that this time, without exploding. B4 is already gaining a small number of test models that should crater and drop any hostile ships in orbit above. for infection fighting, the scientists say they'll need support from earth, and many more machines and scientists to sort this out.
you should be getting the ambassador within hours, to a day, now.
