The Arrival 5 Meeting Face To Face

Jacks mind was spinning... Mandlorains...real Mandlorains, and they wanted the planet for a training colony. What did this mean was Earth about to become part of the Mandlorain sector, where the humans here going to forced to leave earth. Jack tried to make sense of the last words Hask had told him, but how could he. He knew if the Earth's nations tried to fight the Mandlorains forget about slavery they would be lucky if the planet wasn't gla.s.sed over just for the h.e.l.l of it. Jack turned to his friend only to discover they were already facing him mouth open jaw dropped from both of them.

Hask chuckled at the reactions from the three humans. It seemed as he guessed right and they at lest had an idea on what Mandlorains are. They might not know each individual clan but the name as a whole is enough to strike fear in most of the Republic systems. " You see young Jack my people owed this particularly group of Mandlorain a very large favor. So as a means to pay off said favor we decided to gift them with a newly discovered star system that the Federation had come across. When we entered the system we did not know that this planet had any form of intelligent life that is until we picked up on all the radio signals that your planet was shooting off into s.p.a.ce." Hask paused to allow the humans' mind to catch up then continued, " After tracking the signals back to this planet we sent probe droids to check what was causing the signals only to discover a civilization developing on the world."

'Well s.h.i.+t', was all Jack mind could come up with. Many of the world leading scientist had always warned about the dangers of uncontrolled signals being sent into s.p.a.ce. The saying ,when you stare into the void the void stares back rolled into his mind. Now that he had his answer he did not feel to good on his planets chances on a whole. The belief that some how they could get these guys to leave peacefully flew out the window when the word colony had been used. Even though the situation looked bleak Jack couldn't help think of the benefit that Earth was going to be the colony of the Mandlorain instead of another Republic world. If anything about the movies hold up then that would mean the Republic it terrible corrupt right now. With how outcla.s.sed the earth is at the moment entering into the loins den known as the Republic would the last thing any one on earth would have wanted. Just as soon as Jack mind started to go though the many possible they could have the s.h.i.+p jarred slightly, and the engine began to power down.' Well I guess it show time' Jack thought as a droid came over and un cuffed him and his two friends and walked them to the cargo bay hatch awaiting its cycle to finish before it opens.

Inside the UN building the President of the United States sighed...when they had started this meeting it had been about 4 pm. It was now about 9 pm, he had spend the last five hour explain what he knew about the star wars universe granted he himself barely knew very much about it besides the two films he saw as a kid. Had it not been for his aids he sure he would still be trying to explain to the a.s.sembly what a Rodian was. However they some how managed to get most of the world leaders on the same page. They could now began the dissuasion on the best way to handle their new friends from s.p.a.ce.

Before the talks could begin air raid sirens began blaring though out the building. Security personnel rushed inside the room and started locking the room down. The world leaders that where in the room where moved from any of the windows and forced to the ground. The President managed to grab one of the MPs that where running around. " Son whats going on!" He yelled over the sirens. " Mr President radar just pick up an unknown boggy heading here at speed that makes no sense we need to get everyone in this room safely to the middle of the building." The MP then grabbed the President and shuffled him to the exit of the room leading deeper into the building with the rest of the world leaders following closely behind.

As the group made it way into the building they did not get very far before they started to hear the sounds of gun fire. Then the sound of explosion ripped though the hall and smoke creeping on the sealing begins its slow decent to the ground. The security teams make the quick decision to abandon taking the VIPs deeper into the building and instead chose to get them outside and hopefully way from all the fighting. Making quick turns though the hallways the group makes it to one of the many emergency exit. One of the MPs steps up to open and clear the door before the group heads outside. Just and the solider reaches the door he is meet with blaster bolt through the door. All of the world leaders jumped to the floor as more blaster fire ripped into the hallway. By the time all the shooting had stopped all the members of the security where either dead or dying. The President looked up from the floor just in time to see a battle droid pus.h.i.+ng open the exit door. The droid place its blaster in front of the president. " Come with me if you want to live...I have always wanted to say that." The droid buzzed in its recognizable high pitched voice.

Jack, Trish, and Keith were lead out of the shuttle they stood no longer hand cuffed but till under threat of a quick death if they tried something unsavory. Jack took this instance to take in their surroundings. Smoke clogged the air as flames poured out of the third and fourth floors of the UN building. Jack was reminded once again that this was not a game and they would and kill anyone who got in the way. Jack noticed a group of people being escorted by a squad of B1s coming out of the front entrance of the building. Keith immediately recognized the lead human in the group. " Hey dude thats the President...d.a.m.n they took out all of the security and captured every world leader the building man we are so screwed." Keith whispered to the group which caused the normally quite Ishmel to smirk at the comment and added, " We did this with only four squads of infantry droids...you are right young human you are screwed."

The President walked at gun point right to the Neiomidian Viceroy. ' Well d.a.m.n so we are dealing with the things from the star wars universe' the president thought to himself. Walking right up to the Viceroy he stop right in front of the creature then motioned with his hands to all of the death and destruction. " Was all of this really necessary. I am sure you could that we posed no threat to you so what was the point of this attack." Hask was taken back this human did have a point there was not a real meaning to their attack at this point maybe they did go a little bit over bored, but its not like he would admit that to this human. "We felt that this small display would prove the greatest point." Hask spoke quickly to hide his slight embarra.s.sment." (cough)...Any way this was just to help your people understand that what ever you had plan they amount to nothing in the face of power and that the people that are currently on the way here will be many... many times worst than we have."

This was news to the President the creatures he was dealing with right not were nothing but the water boy in a sense. " Ok so if you are just the ma.s.sager what is the message and who is it from." Worry was clear heard from the mans voice as he nervously awaited the answer from the man. " Ah.. the message...the message oh yes the message is Prepare for our Arrival, and the message comes from..." Just as Hask was finis.h.i.+ng his statement a Meteor-cla.s.s Q- Carrier flies screaming into the atmosphere heading straight for Hask's shuttle. " Ah what is that human saying that the young Jack was saying Ishmel speak of the dig..dog..no..duck" Ishmel sighed.. " Speak of the devil...devil sir." "Ah yes thats it speak of the Devil...that is such a nice saying." Hask said with a smile as he turned to face the human leader. Well they were about to meet the new owners of this planet this was going to be such a great show.
