The alien spaceships loomed ominously just outside the Earth's atmosphere, their sleek metallic hulls glistening in the sunlight.
"Enter the atmosphere of this planet and declare to these people that they are now subject to Zora's sovereignty. Resistance of any type will be met with blood and sorrow." stated the Colonel. Because of what had transpired earlier, he was somewhat irate and needed to let off some steam.
"Yes Sir. I am live broadcasting among these lower species as we speak... Eh!" When he noticed the red alarm on his screen, the crew member and soldier in charge of communication froze in place.
"What is it?" The colonel inquired after observing the soldier's stutter in his speech.
"Nothing, Sir... Let me try broadcasting again. Their servers must be down for some reason of these low level species." said the soldier. The Colonel believed that his subordinate had made a mistake, therefore he let him to repair it on his own rather than reprimanding him.
But 2 minutes went passed but the soldier went on typing which was a quantum computing system but even after the soldier didn't seem to be able to make any headwind.
"What is wrong, soldier?" Colonel enquired while displaying extreme tolerance.
"I.. I don't know Sir. I'm unable to log into the planet's servers because of something. I am trying to brute force my way inside, but something is stopping me.. Worry not sir.. I'll shortly do the assignment. Give me a few seconds, please." The soldier was drenched in perspiration despite the bridge's constant temperature since he believed his position was in jeopardy.
The Colonel's brows were furrowed; he sensed something was off. He had instructed his navigators to watch the Argos. Unexpectedly, the Argo had been quite quiet and had not even traveled with them into the solar system. They simply kept watching.
The Colonel was ready to patiently wait for a few more minutes and then he would descend even if the communication officer wasn't able to hack into their servers. He was only hoping to complete the mission because he was already feeling a little uneasy. He spent more time here and had a sense of impending doom.
The sirens of all 10 spacecraft then abruptly began to sound loudly.
"Warning.. Warning.. Spaceships travelling above the speed of light is approaching.."
"Warning.. Warning.."
"Warning.. Please take necessary steps."
"Huh."
"These cretins.. I knew this was a problem.." Colonle muttered an expletive. He knew this was an ambush when he had heard the warning. He just had no idea who had the balls to surprise them on their own turf.
Twenty battlecruisers, each elegant and powerful in their own right, quietly appeared from Mars' shadows and repositioned themselves to face the foe. They had traveled at an incredibly rapid pace and were now only a few hundred kilometers from the alien spacecraft.
The Terrans moved into position behind the unwary alien ships while operating under the cover of the Martian atmosphere. They were invisible to their opponents until the critical moment thanks to their sophisticated cloaking technology. As the Terran commanders awaited the Supreme Commander's order to attack, the tension in the air was apparent.
The 20 enormous battlecruisers left the alien soldiers in awe. They were all enormous and nearly their size. Anyone who saw the ships would be in wonder thanks to their sleek style, intimidating cannons, and foreboding appearance.

When they watched, along with the other soldiers and crew members, the Colonel and his advisors shook. All this time they had the feeling of superiority and had the larger number of ships with them but now they had lost on the number. They weren't sure how affective the spaceships would be against their own spaceships but it shouldn't be far off from that because their models were relatively knew when it came to AW travel.
Since the counterpart was likewise capable of FTL travel, it was reasonable to infer that they shared the same technology with regard to their ability to battle and combat in space.
"Connect me to them." The colonel yelled. Before the adversary decided to open fire on them without warning, he intended to quickly establish contact with them.
"Connecting.. Connecting. Sir they accepted the call.. Showing in the video feed."
It was then visible. For the first time, the Colonel and the others in the area were able to identify the person responsible for this surprise ambush. Of course it was Robin. He wasn't alone either. Rita, Sauvik, Cathrin, and the advisors were all there and they were all standing behind him. In an encounter with aliens, Robin didn't want to wear a mask.
Since he was familiar with human nature, he could be exceedingly insulting to his fellow humans, but the aliens were never deserving of it. They were merely following orders.
"Hello.." Robin was the one who spoke, and she did so in a strange tongue. He wasn't some kind of supercomputer that could acquire language in a couple of minutes, therefore it was obvious that this was the work of AI. He might have been more intelligent than most people in terms of humanity, but not to the point where he could pick up a new language like they did in the Limitless movie.
"This Colonel Zyra'thul from Zora. Can I know the name of the person of whom I am talking to."
Colonel needed to treat this individual with a different level of respect since he had a sneaking suspicion from the way they were dressed that they weren't talking to military personnel but rather someone on the administrative rank. A military personnel would never appear in a video alongside non-soldiers.
The individuals standing behind him appeared to be citizens, with only two of them having an army appearance. Even one of them had a scar on his face that most likely came from a conflict.
"I am Robin Kashyap. Consider me the human race's spokesperson. Though I am not their appointed leader but I do have the bigger guns so I guess I am some sort of military leader." Robin spoke while remaining calm and collected. Both the Colonel and Robin seemed to not concern about the fact that they were at each other's throats as they were talking.
"Not appointed as leader?" Colonel was unable to discern his exact meaning. Why would he appear in the communication if he wasn't their leader?
"Don't worry about it. Just speak. You called, so you should have your reasons." said Robin.
"I.. We are from the planet Zora, which is about 1000 light years away. As a result of receiving the Star System signal from this location, which only occurs when someone manually activates it or the planet reaches the Star System scale. The Luminary Collective is in control of this region, and we have the authority to rule the humanity. I hope you can allow us to take over the planet." The Colonel spoke in a respectful manner, but he was also stern and spoke as if it were his birthright to rule the Earth.
However, Robin's subsequent statements caused the Colonel to almost choke and vomit out his saliva.
"What exactly is Luminary Collective?"
"..."
The Colonel had to wait for a while before realizing that the guy wasn't kidding and that he had no idea what the Luminary Collective was.
"The current rulers of the Galaxy are a civilization from the Galactic system known as the Luminary Collective. This planet is under their territory. You must be joking to not know of them. You have galactic level ships and say that you haven't heard of them? How did you even get access to these spaceships if you didn't know them?" The Colonel enquired because he was certain Robin was telling lies.
"I am not obligated to answer that. You have come to our Star System with malicious intentions and want to take over us. Even if there is some form of law that permits you to seize control of our system, I can't let that happen in my capacity as a representative of humanity. You can return the way you came, and I will not investigate the intrusion into our land. If you insist, I can only retaliate." said Robin.
"And this won't be just here. It will reach your planet too. So think before you make any mistake." The final words were added by Sauvik. Robin gave him the side-eye but didn't disagree with him.
"You.. You.. Do you even know who you are threatening? Under Luminary Collective, we are. It is their domain. We are entirely within our rights to occupy your world." When Robin threatened him, and even more so after hearing Sauvik's words, the Colonel lost his cool. They were under the protection of Luminary Collective. If something were to happen to them, there would be total war.
"As I've already mentioned. I could care less. Either you stop fucking around or you won't even have an ass to fuck around." Robin said, using a wide variety of profanities.
