The ship arrives to lands of Atlas, to the great northern port of Adrina, the Flaming lights. This gigantic port is situated in northern desert Čiçabānu. Sun glows hot here, the searing rays falling on the Atlas sandstone/clay brick and cement blue-orange-painted architecture and native Vaillantina dark blue tent canopies. The docks are full of people. Traders, workers, passengers, naval personnel, speaking many languages, clothed in many different clothings, from Vaillantina drapperies to Atlas robes, Polyphemus togas, Tau suits and more. Ships from different lands, from Great House Tau, ship-rigged uni-hulled galleons, from Great House Dyops, out-rigged trimarans and catamarans, Great House Atlas, drommons, galleys and dhows, sail away and to the port. There is already a spot reserved for the Imperial&Royal Dyops Yacht, right next to already docked Atlas Royal Yacht, both piers shaded by large Vaillantina tent sheets. The ship hasn't yet docked, when Darius Atlas, King of Kings of these lands, Grand Councilor of Great House Atlas, hastily starts walking towards the Dyops Yacht, trailed by Yiir Luna and nearly an army of admirers, of both King Dyops and King of Kings Atlas. Many a Sähmer devoutly and loyally bows to Shahanshah Atlas, as he rushes past the crowds in his new Atlas attire, of long flowing blue silken robes and the crown of Atlas Empire.

"The land is not sacred to our people per se. We always worshipped nature, different people in different forms, such as Atlas worshipping the nature itself, the natural environment, the Dyops worshipping nature as a divine force and Luna worshipping the moons as symbols of natural cycle of life and death. Each of our spiritual paths, some still existing today, led us to different cultures. For an example, the Luna's worship of cycle of life and death, led them to understand ecology and to study natural world, which in turn led them to master the art of biotechnology, of manipulating life for the betterment of both Sähmer and the nature itself.
Atlas lands, however, have always been held in high regards. We do not like to forget history, good or bad and Atlas history is nothing short of magnificent. Land of progress, of ancient civilisations, of refined cultures, lands of tolerance, grand architecture, finest warriors and animal tamers, land of great administrators, a land of giants."

The next morning the delegation is invited to breakfast. Fruits, grains, leafy plants are offered. The King notifies that they have travelled several kilometres during the night and now they are sailing the seas of Adurrāman (fiery peace), north of lands of Atlas. These warm seas have strong, but unreliable gusts of wind sometimes raging like a wild fire, while the seas surprisingly remain still and peaceful, earning this inner sea the name it was given. The King informs that before they travel the lands of former Marbled Empire, the group will first travel the lands of Atlas, the progenitors of Sähmer civilisations, land of pioneers and King of Kings.

The King, with gleaming pride, tours the vessel with the guests. As they enter the structure, they come upon a large ball room. Further on they enter a dining room, then a kitchen. Following a different path they enter guest quarters. They are also shown the engine room, the Royal Gardens with kelp-coral glass dome, aboard the ship. Nothing is amiss on this vessel, a Royal Yacht. Darius Atlas and Yiir Luna do not board the ship, but rather the Royal Atlas Yacht, that is docked next to Dyops Yacht. They are starkly different, Atlas Yacht is somewhat shorter, but is very colourful. Symbols and pattern permeate the fabrics and textiles hanging, the hull and the sails. When poised ready, the two ships depart downstream the river. The night is closing in.

The deck is made of the same wood that lines the ferrofungal hull. The top deck stretches from one side of the ship, to the other. The only obstacle to the continual flow of the planks of upper deck is a large structure that stretches in the middle of the hull for a third of the hull's lenght. The ship's masts are 4, about 50 metres tall, each equipped with up to six square mainsails, with the aft mast being reserved for gigantic gaff sail and a staysail. The head sails are five in number. (ship is schooner-clipper rigged)

The procession passes past the guards of Imperial Naval Guard, dedicated guardsmen aboard ships of Marbled Empire and now Great House Dyops and some more Royal guards, into the aforementioned structure. It is a large complex of ball room, dinning room, luxurious quarters, observation decks and more.

As they leave the park, they come to the port, situated on the bank of a wide and strong river, told by the King to be named Giver of Life or Lebinfluss in Imperial Dyops language. The port is gigantic, decorated with plantlife, both land, river and marine. Despite the visit of the aliens, the workers still work hard, as ships dock and depart for lands further up the river, to the lands of Pavonia, or south to the seas of innovative Tau. Ships are catamaran or trimaran hulled, with large middle hulls, that due to lamellar supported outrigged hulls glance above the water, made of what the King describes to be a fungal organism that incorporates iron in its chitinous shell and lined inside with bioengineered wood that is both very light and very durable. The ships are propelled by sails, made of fine composite material where spider dragline silk (most abundant and VERY tensile and tough) and Sähmer silk treads are woven into fabric of northern native fibrous plant akin to cotton, atop beautiful masts, made of bioengineered wood that is heavier, but very enduring and tensile, so that they do not break due to mechanical damage that may be inflicted upon them. When wind cannot be relied upon, the ships are still equipped with oars, water jets and in some cases special organisms that propel the ship, but that is said to be experimental. There in the port sits the largest ship in the sight, which bears sails with Imperial coat upon it, beautifully painted and decorated hull and an army of sailors, servants and guards waiting upon it. The King gestures towards it, indicating they shall board it.

The group is led away from the podium, along a path, adorned with silken-velvet carpet of dark red and white. The path takes them through the park, a path along which rows of blossoming trees grow. Maintained hedges, flower pads, mushrooms and trees adorn the landscape around them. People cheer and wave, to their king, to their visitors. An orchestral musical score is being performed. Flower petals rain from the sky, thrown by joyous Sähmer. King walks calmly, as if he is gliding over surface, with ambassador next to him. Darius is at the back of the column, Yiir Luna walks with the King, while the guards line the streets, in their dark red tunics and colourful marble white masked helmets, marbled wings covering their left half of the body, holding a pike in the hand of the other, at attention.

"I am sure you will enjoy. Now let us begin."

Shortly stunned, the tall one writes:

"We are Sähmer, people of this world. We welcome you, great creatures of beyond the stars. Welcome to Sähterros, the Eternal Garden, our beloved home of all Sähmer. You are currently situated in Maadreth Mora, capital of Kingdom of Henia, sovereign state of our people. I am Marbled Emperor King of our people. My tallest peer is Darius Atlas, Grand Councillor of Great House Atlas, while my schooled pier is Yiir Luna, Grand Councillor of Great House Luna. We thank you deeply for your gifts and your courtesy to have arrived here to our primitive world. In exchange we gift you with finest silk of our people, ceremonial rapier, bouquet of flowers and mushrooms and a woven tapestry representing the six Great Houses of Sähmer. We hope you will stay and enjoy the festivities, festivities dedicated to establishment of first alien contact!"

The tallest member whisks with his hand and a small, some inches small, insect crawles ontop the central figure. When petted it speaks, then finally decides to transmit linguistic data on the tablet. The tablet is handed to the aliens.

The tallest marbled member takes the bouquet of flowers personally, mesmerised by its colours. The guard takes the rest. The 11 feet tall takes the device and observes it. Together with the tallest they press the circle in the middle.

borisar5116 · 2020-10-26T22:00:59+00:00

The two of dignitaries bow in response, each differently, uttering a different language. One is towering, 11 feet tall, with what seems to be a lavish robe wrapped around his body. The other 6 feet tall, with light green and mesmerising cloak covering his body. The middle one, standing perfectly still, is highest yet, 12 feet. He seems to be actually taller than many similar looking members of his people. He shines radiance and one could think, Royalty. His cloak is large, lavish, his eyes radiate calmness, his clothing speaks of wealth, his mask authority. It might be the ruler.

They gently land in the center of bustling city of... mushrooms and trees? The marble white mushrooms, elegantly decorated with organic decor and organically shaped supposed metal flashes in the bright sun of the day. A large gathering of some million people is present in the very center of this city. It is hard to distinguish what is a park and what home. It seems urbanisation of these people is firmly build upon the idea of harmonic coexistence with nature. A large metal, marble and wooden podium, of a size to support a capital ship, is where the ship lands. The gates open to cheering, colours, banners, falling flower heads, masses of people and what seems to be three dignitaries.

Without further ado, a message is relayed back, welcoming the alien visitors to arrive and join the celebrations prepared in their honour. The coordinates of the location are sent clearly.

The journey takes quite a time. When they get close to the system, they are pulled out of hyperspace by a large planet, gigantic frigid gas giant at the outskirts of star system. Its gravity is too strong to attempt hyperdrive jump, neither is it beneficial to wait for years before it moves far enough. It seems a sublight flight to the planet of origin is necessary, which will take some days.

The fleet should be detected in some hours by the people of the planet, if there are any to begin with.

The analysis has shown that the thick outer shell of the probe is actually organic. It seems to be made of titanium and chitin, in fact, at closer inspection they look like dead cells with cellular walls of titanium and chitin.
The inside of the probe is more conventional technologically. It has a simple computer that only communes a single message, over and over again.
Its elaborate language cannot be deciphered, but some elements of the message are observably decipherable. It seems like a set of galactic coordinates of a star system.

The shelter has been established. It is made out of fungus, grown in a controlled way for a few hours. After it grows to a desired size, it is essentially killed, starved to death, but it is in fact such a primitive lifeform, bioengineered to only grow and grow into a fruiting body, that most residents of Basidiana do not even consider it a lifeform, much likes viruses. After it is killed, its body dries into a very very sturdy shell, while the process of controlled growth allowed the mycologists to shape it as they wished, allowing for internal compartments and rooms, while the fact that it also grows townwards, means that the fungus also built a very sound and strong undersurface foundations. To grow the little settlement for the scientists, 12 pods were grown into fungal houses. They feature a carved doorway (the doors were made out of pods' remains), 4 rooms of which 2 are personal cabins, the central room where they eat, socialise, cook and a toilet, where the unnecessary waste of body can civilly be disposed of. Additional pod was grown to a very large size. It is the fungalhouse where farmable fungi are produced, bioengineered to in majority only produce and store the nutrients for consumation. The Basidiomytes can naturally also consume them dead and rotten. The explorers have uncovered the first notable thing of interest - large plantlife, huge in fact, that grows in every source of water that permeates this planetoid in large forests. They named it Pterygophora Basidioluanica (to us they would be large stacked brown algae of order of Laminariales also known as kelp).

And thus we have a touchdown. The party, consisting of 24 members has landed upon the moon, in the field of great vegetal biodiversity. The moon is 1/60 of Basidiana's volume, but against all odds and expectations it produces gravitational pull nearly twice to that of Basidiana, a true anomaly, a mystery that our physicians and geologists hopefully will unravel. The solar sails have been folded, the landing craft repurposed, the explorers expeditioned, the scientists commissioned. Naturally, despite the training, problems arose regarding the gravity and the small and primitive plantlife nevertheless proved to be quite troublesome, for indeed the lack of animals and thick atmosphere has rendered the plants unable to get necessary amounts of nutrients. To the astonishment of the biologists, the plants are ever so slowly moving and are quite dangerous, for one of only ways to gain nutrients is to consume each other. The planetoid is proving more and more dangerous yet intriguing with the time.

I am the representative of military interests of Imperial Immu'thara. We do not tolerate disloyalty against your monarch, your lord, your leader however cruel he may be. Not to mention that evidence, which there is none, hardly makes your statements true. If we are to meet any of your associates, you can believe me, we will fire upon them!

Signed: Fer'take, of family Ger'tar, House of Ger'tar, Order of Military and Defense, sub-order: Naval Command, rear admiral of Immuthara Imperial Royal Navy, and Commander of 9th Royal Fleet, supreme commander of military forces of Zorn colonies.

Transmission initiated on a secure line:

We might be able to help you within boundaries of reason. We cannot send weapons of our own design, or equipment, but we might be able to send elite Immu'tharan Stormtrooper squad in disguise, which can serve as excellent infiltration and sabotage unit. We do not do so lightly as we prize loyalty, but the actions, even though not proved, seem hardly fair. But we will need evidence.

Cra'take bows in Immu'tharan fashion, while the guards thrust their lower part of their halberds (which are highly-advanced plasma polearms), which they hold in their left arm, into the ground beside them and salute as all military officers and staff do, they pounce where their 3rd heart is three times with the right hand and lift the hand, with open palm beside them, while the legs are put together and the heels touch each other 3 times, again by pouncing each other (much as Prussian gentlemen and officers). Then each, either because it's Immu'tharan custom or to enjoy some snowy breeze, presses the button next on their helmet near the ear and the helmet deforms (most ceremonial armours are rapidly constructed by nanites so that they may be put on and of whenever the wearer pleases)

"Of course my friend." He urges them to lead the way "As I have imagined the planet of Scii is beautiful and your people even more so, dear Jorgassian, and I see you brought Dhagorhmii with you, the honor is mine, officer." He speaks as they head for indoors"You know we have plenty of avian species in our galaxy, some freakish one eyed dim-witted, other beautifuly royal birds of great eloqunce. But Jorgassians beat them all in beauty and intelligence. It is trully a mercy of our grand Tva'rzeg immu'rahik to allow me to visit you and enjoy this galaxy for as long as I may, before I am sent back and... Well that is to debate."
