The carrier picks up a very old frequency, one of the old colony ships sent out nearly a hundred years ago. The signal was slowly closing in on the Europa system but there was mention of an advanced party in the message, alongside a set of coordinates.

"Earth? We're far from Earth, buddy. Last time I was on Earth was....twenty years ago? Something like that."
-
"Hence our contacting you and not them, this is as far as our long range comms will go."
-
"Alright. I'm gonna open up the hangar doors and you fly in. We got a ship mechanic that can help you from there." The hangar doors of the huge carrier slowly open.
-
"This ship is fine, the colony ship is the one having problems, and it's as big as your carrier so it won't be landing in it." The small acrobatic fighter lands however, it's pilot exiting.

Two figures stand with their rifles, watching you land. They seem to be having a conversation. The man speaks to the woman. "Stay back, I'll handle this." He walks up to you.
-
The man stands in black and red armor, it has recently seen combat. His rifle is slung at his shoulder. His eyes hidden behind his helmet.
-
Python speaks, his voice booming over the entire hangar's noise. "Who are you?"
-
"My name is captain Dmitri Tartarkov, of the Terran Republic armed forces. Who are you?" He says offering his hand.
-
"Python. Heavy weapons of the Empire." He shakes his hand.
-
"I'm the lead for the advanced party, there are seven ships in total, the colony ship will be here in a month. What empire do you serve?"
-
"The Galactic Empire. Up until it fell, ever since this has been a mercenary ship."
-
"We've been out of the loop for some time, first group to make it past the galactic barrier, found a lone system out there, in the nothingness and there was a damn civil war. Damaged the ship and we've been limping back ever since, but that was before my time."
-
"Alright. We can help." The other figure from before walks up, a rifle in her hands. "Who's this?" [spoiler]You want an invite to the group?[/spoiler]
