John was about to arrive at his destination, so he decided to get ready.

He looked at his PIPS and started to take out some items that he was going to equip.

The first part of the armor he took from his PIPS was the boot and pants that as a whole was the Leg Armor of the set. It was a mixture of hard leather and metal, the boot. As for the green camouflage trousers it was made using some kind of high resistant fabric.

After wearing both the boots and trousers, he retrieved the Breastplate piece of his set of armor, the black military gloves, and also the camouflage shirt with long sleeves from his PIPS. The shirt was made with the same fabric as the trousers, but the gloves were made with a harder and flexible type of rubber coupled with a cloth.

He didn't realise before, but now that he started to wear the Armor set he started fell the effects of the Upgrade that was implanted in the Armor.

Even with the effects of the Life Support System of the ship, the temperature it was still rather low inside the starship. Now, however, the Temperature Protection Mod that came with the Armor made John fell a little warmer and comfortable than usual.

The Temperature Protection Mod was an Upgrade applied to an armor that made possible for the user to use his UE to create some kind of invisible mantle around the user that could increase or decrease the temperature, depends on the situation outside.

John wore the green camouflage shirt, gloves, and then placed the metal Breastplate in the top of the shirt, then he proceeded to take the Helmet piece of the Armor from his PIPS.

----------------------------

The Helmet was completely coloured in green and had a forest camouflage pattern. The Helmet looked like a bowl with a flashlight attached at the side of it.

After he finished wearing everything he looked at himself in the mirror.

He looked almost like a Marine from old Earth, before the 100-Years Great War.

"Protector, we'll be arriving at our destination in 10 seconds." SAIL warned John that was occupied looking at few things in his PIPS.

[Well... I don't think I'm going to use weapons, so I might as well take a look later.] With that though he left the Captain's Quarter and walked toward the Cockpit.

He sat on the captain's chair and fastened his seatbelt.

"Protector, the ship will begin slowing down in... 3 seconds." SAIL warned John.

After the three seconds, John saw the light of the stars around him slowing down.

He clutched the armrest as his body was forced to go forward because of the momentum of the ship that was in high speed had begun to slow down.

The ship only stopped the Warp Jump after a few seconds.

When John looked once again at the glass, the first thing that caught his attention was the planet in front of him.

It was a beautiful green planet with some blue places that was probably the ocean, rivers, and lakes.

But what really caught his eyes were the massive amount of starships in the planet's orbit.

[What's up with those ships?] John thought as he stared at the strange ships that had flowers and vines growing around it. [How could these plants survive in the space? Why would anyone plant them around a starship?] Uncountable questions popped out in John's mind.

"Hm?" He was shaken awake from his thoughts when the radar alerted John that a few ships were approaching.

He glanced at the image of the ships. There was 8 of them, Condor class; they approached from every direction, they didn't leave any room for John to escape even if he wanted.

[Jamming signal...] John saw that his long-range communication system and also the FTL Warp Drive wasn't working.

The ships stopped approaching once they were about 300 meters away from John's ship.

"Protector, there's a call incoming..." He heard SAIL's voice coming from the console in front of him.

"Accept it." He relaxedly leaned on the chair and waited for the call to go through.

"Greetingsss..." John looked at the holographic image of the person who called him. It was a middle-aged male Floran with a robust and tall body. His entire self emanated an air of strength and leadership. "...we're Gaia'sss Orbital Patrol Force, and we would like to know who are you and why would you come to our planet."

The side doors of the ship that had surrounded John, opened and from inside he was able to see some big humanoid machines coming out.

[Mechas...] John stared at those machines that had power weapons in their hands and were all aiming at his ship.

"My name's John Connor." Answered John. "And I'm here because Peri invited me to come."

"Oh? So you are Miss Peri'sss guest." The Floran soldier said in realization. "I apologize about our rather... Aggressive welcome." The Floran embarrassedly scratched his head. "You know, we are currently hosting a sssignificant event, and we can't allow anything bad to happen that could interfere with the event."

"It's okay." John calmly said. "Nothing bad happened anyway, you don't need to apologize."

"Thank you, mister." The Floran soldier bowed. "Now, you can park your spaceship around the orbit, like the other ships." The Floran pointed at the ships that were floating around the planet.

"Thanks." John waved his hand in goodbye and controlled the ship to move it forward. The Mechas and spaceship opened a breach for John's ship to pass through them.
