The ships is guided to a docking port where the ship successfully docks with the station. Tiberius raises from his seat as the ship comes to a complete stop.

"Are our instruments recording all this" Tiberius asked as he stand before his crew.

"Aye Captain, all instruments are reading operational. We've been recording since we arrived in the system."

"Good" said Tiberius, "our scientists back home and indeed, perhaps not even the government would believe us if we had only a report to file. I'll be going on board, keep systems running until I return."

"Aye Captain."

Tiberius left the bridge and soon found himself once again putting his spacesuit back on. Once everything was sealed and tested, he moved towards the door and opened them, making his second first contact of the day. He entered the foreign and alien tower, moving towards the person waiting to greet him as he left the doorway of his ship.

The door seals up. The suit is still a good idea, though. No knowing what diseases that might get spread around. As Stewart takes him through the tower to the conference room, Tiberius will notice a bunch of people in weird outfits, including what looks to be a cyborg. In the conference room, he will see a man in blue tights and red cape with a bit yellow "S" on his chest and a man dressed as a giant bat, among others. A man in a business suit walks in, escorted by another man in a Green Lantern uniform, at the same moment that Tiberius would enter.

Not entirely sure what the make of these various assortment of people in the room, Tiberius wasn't sure what to say or do. Their clothing was certainly far from the fashion of Veridia Prime and their technology was varying but certainly at or exceeding that of his own people. Noting that he should probably introduce himself, he cleared his throat.

"My name is Captain Tiberius Varro, I am from a planet far to the edge of the galaxy but I am also human. It is the belief of my people that we left Earth Thousands of years ago. I and my crew have come on a mission of exploration, to answer many of the question's my people have of their ancestors."

Bismouthi telescopes and observatories and military intelligence services have all noted what was unmistakably a visit by extraterrestrials. The High Priests are rather put off by the lack of contact by whichever foreign governments have picked up those ETs, especially given their positive trade and border relations with all.

Foreign intelligence services, assuming they're even mildly competent, would notice quickly increasing military readiness in Bismouth.

The man in the suit speaks. "And I am Taleb Khalid, Black King of Checkmate, the intelligence and covert operations agency of the Confederated Empire of Greater Switzerland. Your being human does not surprise me, despite the fact that there are an unusually large number of aliens who look like humans. Take Superman, for instance." He gestures to the man in blue tights. "He is a Krytonian and if not for his powers under a yellow sun, he would be physically indistinguishable from you or me. There are other alien races around who are like this and naming them all would be a tedious task. But I digress. You are probably curious about what has gone on in the last two hundred years since the war. I will do what I can to answer your questions and, if you are willing to, set up a meeting with various heads of state down below."

The man in blue tights says, "A word of advice if you choose to go down to Earth. The technology you see here is far from the norm on Earth. Much of it is taken from alien technologies or breakthroughs that are so far ahead of their times that only the most wealthy of individuals and governments can afford to use them."

Down below, the Swiss government assures Bismouth that they will have a chance to speak with those extra-terrestrials, if they choose to speak to others down below, of course.

Regardless, the Bismouthi High Priests are well aware that they're being told only because they already know.

There is no Bismouthi military activity on borders with the Swiss, however.

The captain nodded as the man calling himself Taleb Khalid spoke and explained the place where they were, the technology, as well as the general situation as it was. There were indeed several people that Captain Varro had seen since entering the space station that he assumed were human but now came to the realization that they were not. In a sense this frightened that Veridian captain as his military nature had him wonder if everyone on Veridia Prime was indeed human or not. Of course, if they weren't they'd done nothing to harm the rest of the Veridian population so they couldn't be all too bad if they were aliens.

"This is a lot of digest as I imagine you can understand" said the captain finally. "I would love to set foot on the Earth if it is indeed possible however, I am not authorized to act in any diplomatic capacities on behalf of my government. However, if it is indeed possible to go to earth and perhaps meet with other Earthlings and make a few records to take back home with us it would be preferable. I would also welcome whatever information you and your kind here would be willing to give us. After all, as I said before we are on a mission of exploration and do not wish to turn away any information given to us freely."

"I will set you up." He starts preparing meetings with people down on Earth, starting with Bismouth. The UMNA, Khandaq, and Alanda and Alexia are invited, as are New Vegas and the Legion, if they so choose. He also orders a dossier be made for the Veridians on the nations of Earth, including former states such as the Enclave.

OOC: I've decided that the Veridians are from a different reality, so if I make any reference's to Earth's past that seem non-cannon here then that's why. I felt it would make the most sense.

IC:
The captain smiles, "thank you very much" he says. Though he cannot act in any diplomatic sense in regards to the nations of Earth, Varro is very interested in seeing what Earth is like now. When the ancestor's left Earth is was a desolate place on the verge of an ecological collapse. To know that civilizations were now flourishing on the planet made the captain very pleased. It also puzzled him a bit, as it seems to fast and so sudden that he wonder what great even could have ended the war?

Though he could not, on his own, devise any explanation himself he was certain the answers were on Earth. More curious, perhaps, was the fact that none of the ancient archives spoke of these other alien species that now seemed to guard over the Earth. Surely there were more answers to be had than the Veridians originally started in search of and Captain Varro was eager to get to the bottom of it all.

OOC: Wasn't sure so I'm improving here, if there is anything wrong I'll re-write.

IC:

Captain Varro is given the dossier as promised along with the coordinates of the Bismouthi city of Carbon. The Veridians knowing nothing of the geopolitical terrain of Earth, the captain thanked his hosts for their hospitality. Returning to his ship he spent little time telling his crew of what had transpired on the space station. Instead, he order his pilot to disembark from the station and give him a set of coordinates on Earth. Soon the Veridian vessel was free of the station and was heading through the atmosphere of Earth. Diving deep into the clouds all they could see was the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds. Soon, however, the clouds part and the world beneath them soon became clear. Though much of what they initially saw through the front windows of their ship was just as the archives describe, the world was also remarkably much different. The Captain could not really describe it as it had been so long since he'd taken an ancient history course at the local academy back on Veridia Prime.

The pilots descent was slow, taking a more cautious approach to the coordinates provided to the Veridians by their hosts on the station.

(OOC: It works fine.)

The pilot will land in the city of Carbon, totally not because that's the first city that came to some near-omnicient third person's mind.

Fortunately for the Veridians, the Bismouthi government had been watching space with every telescope it could commandeer. Which means that when the alien spacecraft entered Bismouthi airspace, it wasn't immediately shot at.

The pilot may have been attempting to land in Carbon, but two Bismouthi aircraft intercept them, hailing them by radio.

"Alien craft, this is the commander of the airship BASS, please follow us to your landing zone," the transmission says.

(OOC: I suppose it should be Ver's vessel. The shuttle bay is largely for visiting alien vessels, though I suppose we could have some spacecraft like in the Justice League show and in some of the comics. We'd actually teleport them down and fly them by conventional aircraft.)

OOC: That's fine, I'll recon and just say it was my vessel. I really wasn't sure how to go about it but just figure I was next to post ha ha.

IC:

"This is the Veridians space ship Felicita, we shall comply" said the Veridian captain over the radio. The Veridian's ship slowed and soon matched the speed of the aircraft brought in to intercept them and soon they followed their lead. The Veridians were amazed by the make and design of the ships. They were not far from the designs of Veridian aircraft from their recent past. During the great wars, many advances were made and technology was constantly changing. Indeed many innovations were made and the Veridians were just lucky it hadn't completely destroyed them.

The planes lead the Veridian aircraft a little on the outskirts of Carbon, to what appears to be a fortress of some sort. There is a long runway if needed, but the Bismouthi planes just put on the breaks at something like -5 Gs, come to a complete stop, and land softly without any visible landing gear.

When the Veridian vessel lands, High Priest Helium will be on the ground to meet whoever emerges.

The Felicita touches down in a vertical landing at the offered location of the Bismouthi. While having been scanned and filtered for biological agents on his suit when he'd reentered the ship, Captain Varro had never take the suit off. While the rest of his crew was just as eager as he was to leave the ship and meet the Earthlings, he was still a bit weary. He ordered the rest of the crew to stay with the ship and have it ready to take off should the need arise, though personally hoped it wouldn't.

Once against stepping into the airlock, the door to the interior of the ship closed and within seconds the door to the outside opened. For the first time in all his life, the sun of an alien world beamed down of the Veridian. A landing ramp extended from the doorway and the Captain slowly descended towards the ground. While walking he took the time to stop every few steps and admire the world, this new and alien world, around him. Sadly however, the ride was soon over and before he knew it he was on the ground and only a few feet away from what he believed to be the Bismouthi representative, though he knew not what title or position he held.

Slowly approaching the man, he spoke through helmet of his suit in his Latin-like dialect.

"I am Captain Tiberius Varro, this is my vessel the VPS Felicita. I come from the planet Veridia Prime and I come...I come in peace."

The High Priest Helium tilts his head to the side slightly. "Latin," he says pensively in English. "I haven't heard Latin in years." He turns to an aide. "Please go get Xenon," he says. "I believe that his language skills were always a bit better than mine."

He then turns to the Veridian, and speaks in classical Latin. "And in peace you will be received," he responds. "I am High Priest Helium of the fine nation of Bismouth. Do you speak any other languages by chance?"

Hopefully classical Latin is close enough to the Veridian's dialect to be understood and to understand. The High Priests have experience with Latin because it is the language of the ancient scriptures.

The UMNA official is graciously accepted into the compound and shown to a conference room. The Swiss are also accepted, and shown to the same conference room. High Priest Krypton is also present, but the aliens haven't come inside just yet.

The Captain was surprised to hear the response in his native tongue, or well close to it. The Veridians knew that their ancient did not speak the latin-like language known simply as Veridian to them, at first. No, it was known to them from the archives that the ancients spoke a plethora of diverse languages, all of which were in use on Earth at the time before their expedition to Veridia Prime through the stargate. Some of these languages still existed today of Veridia Prime, though much evolved from their Earth origins, they were mostly the same. However, these languages were from a time when the planet was divide among petty nation-states. This was a dark period in Veridia Prime's history and since the advent of the Dominion world government, the Latin-like language known as Veridian became the standard. Only the older generations knew of the old language and while they were being taught still in the universities, they were growing out of use and becoming dead languages.

That said, the Veridian Captain's suit was equipped with their rudimentary translator, the same they were able to use to speak with the Alpha Centauri. Raising his right forearm up, he flipped over a cover and began pressing buttons to activate the communicator.

"We know of and can speak some of the language known as English" he said, the translation coming from a computer generated voice, the English itself somewhat broken but understandable. "También puedo entender algo de español. Un bit a de quoi je crois est appelé française." Both the Spanish and French were equally as broken and as child-like as was his English. The translator was certainly not the most advanced of Veridian technology.

OOC: For my more language savvy friends here please excuse any errors. I, for one, am no linguistic and used Google translate Laughing

The Chancellor smiles a bit and says in his broken high school-level Latin, "Lorem enim inter amicos."
