Pathfinder Encounter at Ecosystem 91, 2295 (Finished)

January 4th
In this lone system, Von Neumann Probes sent out by the Avalon Empire long ago orbit over a world with a size of around 1.2 times that of Earth. Microbes, Algae, and other early simple lifeforms populated the world around, a result of a long period of terraforming by the probe. Around the world, different fabrication sit, spewing chemicals mainly to further adjust the evolving ecosystem, and perhaps introduce more advance plants from the storage units. The A.i. overlooking this process simply called itself, Veron. The avatar was an avilun, and he rested inside a libary filled with information and books constantly repositioning themselves. Each book represented a data packet for a various report that the pathfinder program has found. So far though, the Pathfinder program hadn't accomplished its original objective. This pained Veron as he hated leaving tasks unfinished. Yet silence had greeted himself so far on this mission to finder other species.

The system is a yellow-orange star with 4 other worlds orbiting the star as well as an asteroid belt.

((K, because I was too blind to find reply button I had to do 'quote'...Here it goes.


After what would seem like a moment the probe Veron would notice three black metal(Pun not intended) ships of foreign origin entering the system. They would be shaped similiar to a quarter of a fullmoon, but with a large-cannon like object in between. There would seem to be a pyramid of sorts on the top of the area where the cannon and the quarter of a moon's shape collide with the top being fully flat. Even thought there are no visible holes(besides for the cannon and side holes and thrusters, of course)yet there is clearly some dim light coming from the pyramid, like slicing it into floors. Soon after the ships entered the system the drone Veron would recieve a bizarre ternary code, instead of a binary code.

Veron studied the coding closely, continuing to allow data to come in and begins work on translating it. He keeps the mother probe and all constructs a safe distance away from this race, until a translation and their motives are established..

''Machine friend...Not created by Machine God...What are you doing here? What is your purpose here? Who are your creators? Last time we were only ones capable of spacial spacefaring. State your business before we tear you into scraps and study your technology.''
Translation was not...100% correct...

Continuing on completing the translation, Veron blinked at the hostility in the last sentence. Great, well at least he knew what their intentions might be here soon..
He replies with, "I am Veron and was born on Aviluna. My creators are Avilun and are apart of the Avalon Empire. The mission given to me and a select few other a.i. is to use the pathfinder probes to scout out the galaxy and find other intelligent life as well as document any ecosystem we come across. If a world is capable of supporting biological life, we are allowed to also begin to terraforming it. Please be aware any attempts of tampering with a probe or construct will result in the said probe or construct self destructing."

''Avalon Empire? What is that? Worlds capable of biological life? Those worlds are cancerous, they must be wiped out of all life or else they will be harmful to Alkeron Collective. Will you explode even if you're deactivated?''
Generic questions'n'such.

"My parents were biological and it only causes annoyances which can be repaired. Since you are not biological, you can colonize worlds which cannot support life. I please ask you to avoid Ecosystems which we have crafted." Veron replies

''We shall colonize whatever planet we find holding suitable metals for our ships and future bodies.''


Finally the first message's last parts were fully translated! ''We hope that we can come to a peaceful agreement here in this system.''

Veron replies with, "Indeed. We shall begin to withdraw from this system if it lies close to your worlds."

''Oh yes. It does lie too close to our borders. Now...what is there that you can tell the Alkeron Collective about your biological slavers?''

Veron sighs, wondering what they would think he was a slave to anyone. He says, "I am avilun, treated and having the same rights as my creator. I have volunteered for this segment of this mission. I can tell you that the empire is not a hostile place, with slavery outlawed by the government."

Few  minutes would pass...

''What can you tell the Alkeron Collective about your creators and nation?''
Maybe a change of attitude happened here. Or not.

Veron begins compiling a list of data on the Avalon Empire. Nothing that was classified and all publicly avaliable in public databases. The data he sends details the empire's past. It once was three separate nations that came under assault from an extra-galactic threat and was barely fought off. The survivors of this war then united under one banner, the war bringing them all together. Today it is massive, controlling multiple ecosystems and having even constructed some in space themselves. He also includes a map of how to reach it, though also a suggestion to meet in the middle, with Avalon building gates on their half and vice versa.

Question is asked.''Are your creators ignorant towards the gifts of metal?''

Veron asks, "counter question. Is one man's treasure another's junk. The gift of metal is not for everyone, and another path could be found."

''I see...''



Few minutes would pass and the drone is overflown with vast history of Alkeron Collective(which is pretty much everything mentioned in faction thread).
''There's all you are worthy of...Now...Return to your creators and tell them that Alkeron Collective wants to set up diplomatic relations with them.''
