The cloaked scoutship told Kvall about the Mevarr, and he took interest in this event. "So they are trying to colonize Cassius Major? Perhaps we should've taken that world while we could. *facepalm* No matter, when the time comes all races shall tremble before us.". The Imperial Glory had returned to Skraloria and docked at Skraloria Station, a behometh of a starbase which provided defenses for the planet. |

The multipurpose cruisers started to move toward the Mevarr fleet. "This is Fleet Pursuer of the Tali Navy. You have entered Tali space. State your name and business or turn back." |

Suddenly, the red began to seem to peel off from the screen, or grow. A small orb, in the shape of a head almost (though completely and utterly featureless) emerged first, without any other body parts. Then, a pair of 'shoulders' began to come through, also very smooth and separated from a body. They phased in and out of reality it seemed, like a statical TV screen. |

(Not statical, staticky. Best word I can think of to describe it.) |
|
|
The ITA had expanded from their new capital and set up colonies on the planets Renidra and Durik. |
|
|
The Mevarr fleet prepared to jump, and investigate Dilros.
Cassius Major had a few new cities, populated by Mevarr citizens and a few alien slaves to get the economy and industry of the ground.
James stared blankly, he wasn't used to invaders on HIS ship.

The thing emerged fully. It's only body parts were completely perfectly smooth, yet phased in and out of existence. They were pure red on the spectrum. His limbs floated, rather than being physically connected to each other.
He had a head, a surprisingly slightly distorted torso, 'hands' (which were just smooth stones with two smaller stones each to form the joints of each finger), feet which were toe-less, shins, knees, thighs, elbows, and upper and forearms. Every where else, there were gaps.
(As in, there are a few inches space between each section).
The being turned to the other monitor, where the process repeated itself. Then, the Entities (or Entity with two bodies) turned to James. The radios of the room buzzed to life loudly, as a strange voice poured out.
"I AM PERFECT.
I AM SUPERIOR.
YOU ARE INFERIOR.
I AM PERFECTION SIMPLY BECAUSE I AM SPEAKING RIGHT NOW.
I AM NOT MAKING SOUND AND YET YOU CAN HEAR ME.
I AM BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.
YOU ARE IMPERFECT.
YOU WILL BE REMOVED.
ALL IMPERFECTIONS WILL BE REMOVED.
FOR WE ARE PERFECTION, AND SO WE WILL REMOVE ALL." |

"Prepare to send out a small cloaked fleet to monitor Cassius Major. Tell them not to engage, and if detected, activate self destruct and head for the planet. I intend to see what these Mevarr are doing." Said Kvall to a Star Armada admiral. "It will be done, my lord." replied the admiral. |

James backs away slowly, he wasn't going to let the Leningrad be taken over by a bunch of monitor-freaks, he signalled a few of his officers to leave the bridge. He thought about asking them who they were, but then he realised he didn't care.
The Mevarr fleet arrives, and regroups quickly. Before cloaking and hiding in an asteroid field as Central Command began thinking of a plan.
Eventually, the Mevarr sent miners to Cassius Major's moon, Praxia, to use the volcanic activity underground as an energy source. (The Mevarr exploit every resource possible.) |
|
|
(Scratch my last post. They can't contact what they can't see.)
Fleet Pursuer began doing a routine sweep of the area, moving around the chunks of debris left over from the Tali Civil War. |
|
|
(I meant the post where the multipurpose cruisers contact the Mevarr, not where they colonize the other planets.) |

One of the Entity's bodies made a sweeping motion with it's 'arm'. A crescent of pure red light, about as thick 4 pieces of paper, went flying for James' midsection. Meanwhile, the Entity's other body disappeared back into the monitor. It began to mess with the Leningrad's systems. |

The 1st living planet is 0.60
the second is 0.30 |
|
|
A second computer core was located. This one was compatable with Archaelon. All the better for him. It didn't appear to be designed for AIs, but then, neither had any computer previous or after Archaelon. |
|
|
The security sweep was going close the the asteroids where the Mevarr were hidden. |
|
|
With the arrival of the Syrian engineers, the shipyard was now 65% complete. Kvall then dispatched 8 Star Ops agents into the UF, surgically altered to appear human and outfitted with an impant that generated human life signs. They killed and replaced 8 UF officers and boareded a UF ship. |
|

(Sorry, my computer's graphics card messed up.)
James dodged the red light, and fired his phaser at the entity, maximum setting.
The Leningrad's security systems were advanced enough to stop the entity from interfereing with the mainframe.
The Mevarr were quickly using Cassius Major to it's maximum potential, at the cost of the planet's beauty and ecosystem, which they purged ruthlessly in their quest for efficiency.
The Vystan began hacking into Tali signals and computers, attempting to discover if they had any contacts, weapons or important figures that could be helpful in forming a plan. |

The Entity exited the terminal, then began to decimate the terminals with brute force.
The red light splattered against the wall, disappearing. Slowly, the machine it had passed through split in two perfect pieces. |
|
|
The ITA sent a patrol to the border of Skralorian space to investigate a strange chain of crimes. |
|
|
They were greeted with silence... For a moment. The Imperial Glory and 1000 other ships decloaked right infront of them. Kvall contacted them "Leave now, this is not your territory and your presence will not be tolerated! You have 5 minutes to comply, or we will begin firing.". |
|
|
The Mevarr fleet set up a radar jamming beacon inside one of the asteroids, before retreating and hiding in another asteroid field further away, the idea was to distract the Tali while they investigated the first field. |
|
|
"You cannot interfere with our investigation. Let us pass so we may investigate." |
|
|
(wait, was that at Cassius or Dilros?) |
|
|
The Tali picked up a disturbance and move towards the asteroid field. On the way, they suffered hull damage from large asteroids.
