...
"I can't wait until we get to the ocean, I've always wanted to go."
"Me too. I've only seen paintings."
"They had paintings in the tower, Julius?"
"Oh yes, they had a lot of them. A whole floor of nothing but paintings, they were beautiful."
"Wow... a whole floor. I've only seen a few for sale in the city, they're always so expensive. Gold pieces and everything."
"Hey Lars... What is the boss really doing out there?"
"At the gates? Well, he's talking with the nice men on the wall top for starters... I think."
"I know... but it looks like they're shouting now."
"Well the wall is pretty high up, I guess they just want to make sure they're heard."
"Miss Elf beside him looks really mad too, she's waving her shovel at them."
"Well, she has a bit of a temper sometimes... That's probably normal."
"The nice men on the walls look mad too."
"Hmm, yeah you're right. I think they're probably just surprised. I doubt a lot of people come back this way aside from Orcs and Goblins."
"Why are Eron and Sandra with him again?"
"They're just there for moral support. I'm telling you, the boss is really good at talking to people. It'll be fine: I remember this one time he convinced a Vampire to pay us a bunch of money to clear out some goblins."
"Really? A real vampire?"
"Yeah, his name was Fritz. Six hundred silver, six hundred Julius! You should have seen the steaks we bought that night."
"Steaks? Wow! I've never had steak... Did the vampire give those to you?"

"No, Boss says that vampires hate steaks."
"Hey, what about the bows they have?"
"The soldiers? Ah... Huh... yeah... You're right, they do have them."
"I've never seen such large bows."
"Ha, well bow's are no big deal. Every gate-keeper on the wall has a bow, it's totally normal in the East. I mean, they don't climb down the wall to fight Orcs or Goblins- they just shoot at them."
"I guess so... But they're pointing them now."
"Right, but that's just because they're supposed to. They've got to look the part for their job, right? Nobody wants to get fired for not doing their job"
"Right... Yeah, that makes sense. I really didn't want to get fired at my last job."
"Was your boss scary?"
"Yeah, he was really scary. Like, evil, but his boss was even worse."
"Ha, well he couldn't have been that bad could he? I mean- oh. Well that's not good."
"Did they-"
"Yeah, they just shot an arrow at him."
"It missed though."
"Only because Sola hit it with her shovel."
"The boss looks really mad. Is that bad?"
"Well, he has a temper sometimes too. He's taught me a bunch of words I'm not supposed to know."
"What's that hand gesture mean?"
"I think it's a foreign formality thing. He's probably trying to calm everyone down."
"They're getting more arrows though."
"Hmm... Yeah, you're right."
"Oh. Wow, Miss elf just swatted them out of the air."
"Ha yeah, and now her ears are twitching: That means she's really angry. Haven't seen her this upset since the Boss got stabbed by an Orc."
"The boss got stabbed?"
"Oh yeah, before you met us he- Woah. WOAH."

"Holy smokes, look! Sandra and Eron are shooting lightning from their hands!"
"Wow, the Boss is a Battlemage, but I've never seen anything like this. He just makes this really loud noise with that bit of wood and metal, and the bad-guys sort of fall over."
"Really? That's it?"
"Yeah, it's always loud and scary, but there's never much to see. Holy..."
"Light and bells, I think that Soldier just flew into the air when that bolt hit him."
"Oh... yeah he flew alright."
"Look, the gate is gone. Seems like it fell down."
"Yeah... It's on fire. Oh, they're all coming back now. Boss still looks a bit mad."
"Think we should be worried?"
"Nah. This is totally normal."

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
