The ride over to the flagship of the Union felt more like arriving to a small moon than a ship. The round shape helped the imagination see it as thus instead of a ship; however the metallic exterior reminded anyone on the Atlantis crew it was an alien ship. The exterior was perfectly smooth much like the hull of the Beacon of light. The Marines had learned however that it was not the case. As the shuttle from the Atlantis neared the Union ship, a portion of the hull slid back seamlessly.

Instantly the shuttle was no longer in the dark void of space but a brightly lit hangar. The hangar was the size of multiple football fields with a variety of ships berthed it in. Most of them had the same bullet like shape however, there were some that were very different.

Exiting the shuttle, Kelly and her officers would see two men waiting for them. The men were polar opposites of each other.

“Captain Bordeaux,” one of the men spoke as he approached the group. He was tall, handsome, and had an easy charm to his posture and tone. If the crew had met this man in any other situation, the would be instantly at ease in his presence. He exuded the warm, causal like essence of a friend. He was also very easy on the eyes with a tall, athletic frame, and deep blue eyes. “I am Chancellor Pellan Vell of the Galactic Union. Welcome to our ship.” The other man followed up directly behind him. “This is our Supreme Commanding General Adar Vyce.”

The second man was the exact opposite of Pellan Vell. Adar Vyce in a word exuded intimidation. He was tall with pale skin and a long scar running across his face from one eye brow to the opposite side of his jaw. His gaze was as intense as his movements bringing him along side Pellan Vell. Adar Vyce was a humanoid but not from the same race as Pellan Vell as evidenced by the shock of white hair and intense yellow eyes. “Greetings,” Vyce replied in a firm, commanding one word reply.

“And the rest of you are? I hoped to meet you all in a far less formal setting before we leave this hangar. It can be overwhelming for those meeting the Galactic Union for the first time.” Pellan’s tone was friendly and comforting however it was very clear how he got the role of Chancellor. The man seemed to be a born diplomat.

Kelly made a gesture to her crew to introduce themselves.
