Lilly scratched her head.
"Well, we arrived using a superluminal communications array that's only a few lightyears from here. It is how our pods were constructed nearby without humans knowing. Once we had a single node, the code was able to decompress, travel into an operable form, and collect more mass and supplies to build drones that would then build our facility and clone pods. After that it was a few months of tissue replication and a cognitive upload and we were here. Sadly, as we worked on constructing our vessels, they ambushed us. I assume they have superluminal tech if they intercepted any of our superluminal messages..."
Lilly stopped. Her mind trying to process something complex.
Jhenko: "Don't worry, Gill, I got better things to do. Namely, process all these aliens. So much for a glorious first contact that the Signal promised. Sounds like they brought some sort of conflict beyond our system to our doorstep. The question is, who is who and which side are we on? I have feeling "not choosing sides" isn't an option since one of them is already trying to kill us. Just our luck."
