<span class="mu-b">”Hold on, I don't buy this... Computer, end all other monitoring processes and give me the computer cycles. I need more information on this object.”</span>
“This monitoring station is also tasked with monitoring weather patterns and asteroid impacts, as well as other celestial objects and anomalies in the system. Commandeering the computer system may cause these other systems harm. I will not withhold this command from your superior in the event something goes wrong.”
<span class="mu-b">”Just do it! Zoom in on the object; is this it? This red thing?”</span>
“Affirmative.”
<span class="mu-b">”So it isn't moving away from us? It's not red shifting?”</span>
“No, color correction has already been applied.”
<span class="mu-b">”Oh shi- NO WAY! That is RED! The Esaal have red battleships! This is an Esaal warship for sure! Computer, sound the alarm!”</span>
While the computer wasn't quite ready to make a positive ID on the approaching object, your gut went with Esaal. You decide to sound the alert. All over the entire planet of Andoen, <span class="mu-i">billions</span> of Jaxtians have their normal lives and schedules interrupted by blaring alerts and calls for immediate evacuations. People in cities, military bases, and the country are packed into the nearest shelters. These places are designed up to the worst possible catastrophe- a nuclear strike. They await in silence at the emergency alert- only to be shown confirmation.
It WAS an Esaal ship! Somehow, a spaceship that totally avoided any of the tell-tale signs of detection. No radiation from emissions, no computer signals or networking signals- nothing! It was like a rock floating through space. Yet somehow this craft didn't pick up at all on your detection systems. It's some kind of stealth vessel!
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">”ATTENTION!”</span></span> The voice rings out over the largest city on Andoen, built among the ruins of the alien civilization that once lived here. The ship itself is broadcasting the sound waves directly; as though for dramatic effect.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">”This is Flight-Commander Twopunch- In charge of the Esaal Dark-Ship 919-J. I bring an important message from Ess, our homeworld.”</span></span>
