{Transmission intercepted}
[Source: Unknown]
(Estimated origin: Outside the known galaxy, in the expanse between galaxies.)
[Transmission is as follows.]
Unknown entity #1: Hello there.
Unknown entity: #2: *Unintelligible language* {Deciphered as best as it can.} Creature of the galaxy, you have something to tell me?
Unknown entity #1: Why yes, I've got some things happening over here. People are ripping each others throats out, governments are fighting amongst one another, and our progress on the gateways have been going well... But...
Unknown entity #2: But what?
Unknown entity #1: Well, we had a set back in the form of the Upsilon facility and gateway being ransacked by the VISU with the help of the United Terran Federation.
Unknown entity #3: How far will this set us back?
Unknown entity #1: A few months at most but it's still a bit disconcerting given that they now know that the A.I. incident was supposed to happen that way.
Unknown entity #4: [Chuckles] You seriously got beaten back by a bunch of apes, their furry workforce, and their science experiment gone wrong? How amusing!
Unknown entity #2: Silence! What matters is that you managed to fire up the nexus in that area if not for a few moments. Meaning that despite what happened, the gateway nexus can still be used and rewired to ours. While this may not be the ideal solution, it's still one regardless.
Unknown entity #1: Well there's always the next one over which brings me to my next point. The Arelak Hierarchy are gonna be a pain the ass to try and have someone square off against... but it can still be done.
Unknown entity #2: Nothing too big to handle, right?
Unknown entity #1: Well...
Unknown entity #2: Leviathan. Tell me, you do have the appropriate forces to do this, right?
Leviathan: Yeah, but there's another problem. There's some people onto me. As in, they know that I had the Harvol dragged into this whole Harvol-VISU war.
Unknown entity #2: Will this be a problem?
Leviathan: Short term wise, yes. Long term, no. Nobody believes them at the moment but pretty sure that's gonna change if they prove it.
Unknown entity #2: Alright then... lay low for now and ready some bounty hunters and hitmen. Target those with the most critical information about you and us. They are to be terminated at all costs. Double their credits if you have to to do so.
Leviathan: Got it and already have a few out and about already. So what about the gateways?
Unknown entity #3: Our technologists over here have begun to hardwire their way in. If what happened with the Argolis colony happens again then we can begin sending in more weapons and even send in the Swarm if need be.
Unknown entity #2: No, not yet. Should we make our presence known then they'll stop attacking each other for now and focus their rage and vengeance on us. As soon as more than 80% are operational and ready, we'll start.
Leviathan: Got it.
Unknown entity #3: Understood.
Unknown entity #2: Is there anything else to alert us about?
Leviathan: That's it for now. But... there is one last thing.
Unknown entity #2: Which is what?
Leviathan: [Slight chuckle] The Bells of Dawn are ready to ring. Just say the word.
Unknown Entity #2: [Silence] Do it.
Leviathan: With pleasure. Leviathan, over and out.
{Transmission end.}

So this was something I sketched in September last year, and just gotten to posting it here. Sorry bout that, I've been pretty busy and have been working on this universe for a long ass while now. But yeah, this thing is a hint of what's to come along with a hint of the past. I'll start trying to post more stuff related to this in the future but yeah. Anyways, I hope your all having a good day/night and until next time!
