Wub had a bad feeling about this, here he was in the command chamber of the flagship of the fleet and in front of him stood Lord Zonar, Taskeven was on Lord Zonar’s right, then Cor was to the right of Taskeven. Hor on the other hand was on Lord Zonar’s left.
What he could not figure out is why Tobaz was on the same line as he facing Lord Zonar. Tobaz was on the extreme right of the group, then Tun the starship crew member was to the left of Tobaz. Tarn was to the left of Tun. To the left of Tarn was him, to the right of him was the fighter pilot that no one in the group figured out who we was, to the right of the fighter pilot was the second ground trooper, then to the right of the second group trooper was the third ground trooper and then to the right of the third group trooper was the first ground trooper.
Wub then realized two things, like the unnamed fighter pilot, he did not know the names of the three ground troopers that was part of this well represented but mis matched group which for some strange reason now grew to eight. The second thing that Wub realized is do the ground troopers really have names to being with? It was an interesting question, it is something that seekers of knowledge like Tarn and the fighter pilot would have tried to figure out. As it stands he did not know if the group had much of future of working together since in the back of them were eight more ground troopers with blaster rods at the ready.
Wub doubt it that the eight new ground troopers were to be added to the group. If that so he would figure another fighter pilot, a starship crew member and another technician would have been added to the group as well, what also bothered him was that he was the only one that had the object that protected him from the effects of the blaster rod and it was in the back of him. He had more of the objects in his stash of things where he normally resides on the starship but it was far away from the command chamber, he only wished he had enough of them to give to the rest of the group.
“Play the message again” said Zonar
Tun touched a few controls on the recording unit and it said:
This is outer marker Joo 9 of the United Nations of Arcevar Nover. We are broadcasting this message in the Trade Standard Language of the Dicon Galactic Empire as one of the 80 spoken languages known to us. This is message greeting number 55 of 80.
Repeat this is outer marker Joo 9 of the United Nations of Arcevar Nover. The planet of Arcevar Nover is the third planet away from the star in this system. A rough diagram of this star system layout is on this outer marker.
This diagram will show a system of 9 major planets. Beginning from the star Arcevar are 4 small planets, then a ring of minor planets, 4 large planets and 1 small planet. This outer marker is found between the orbits of planet 5 and planet 6. Do not interfere with operations of this outer marker.

“What language is this message in?” asked Zonar
“It is in trade standard of the Dicon Galactic Empire Lord Zonar.” replied Tarn “one of the four I recognize that the outer marker was broadcasting.”
“Did you record them?” asked Zonar
“Yes we did and other as well my Lord Zonar.” replied Wub
“Play back the next message.” said Zonar
Tun touched a few controls on the recording unit and it said:

“This message language is in?” asked Zonar
“Lord Zonar,” said Tarn “it is from the world of Flun, it is their Formal Common and it is used when two or more different worlds of the Dicon Galactic Empire are in diplomatic negotiations.”
“Play the next message.” said Zonar.
Tun touched a few controls on the recording unit and it said:
This is outer marker Nortle 9 of the United Nations of Arcevar Nover. We are broadcasting this message in the Language of the Coovee a member world of the Dicon Galactic Empire as one of the 80 spoken languages known to us. This is message greeting number 57 of 80.

“What language is this message in?” asked Zonar
“Lord Zonar,” said Tarn “it is in Coovee, they are a very common race in the empire, it has been said that you have not experienced the Dicon Empire until you have encountered a Coovee.”
“Play the next message.” said Zonar
Tun again touched the controls of the recording device and it said:
This is outer marker Fooooo 9 of the United Nations of Arcevar Nover. We are broadcasting this message in the Middle Language of the Ylan Prime a member world of the Dicon Galactic Empire as one of the 80 spoken languages known to us. This is message greeting number 58 of 80.

What language is this message in?” asked Zonar
“It is Ylan Prime the homeworld of my parents Lord Zonar.” said Tarn
“Are there any other messages?” asked Zonar
“They are many more Lord Zonar. These four that were played back says that the outer marker has knowledge of seventy six more languages.” replied Tarn.
“Is there one from the Hel’resion?” asked Zonar
“I have no idea Lord Zonar.” replied Tarn
“You do not Tarn, you are from the Dicon Galactic Empire. You should know these things!” said Zonar
“Lord Zonar, I am afraid I can not help you there. I was very young when I was captured by your followers. I know of the existence of the Hel’resion and their place in the Dicon Galactic Empire but I have never actually seen one or hear one speak. I could not tell you if the outer marker knows about the Hel’resion language or not.”
“Have you listened to all of the outer markers messages?” asked Zonar
“I have not Lord Zonar.” replied Tarn
“Why not?” asked Zonar
“Lord Zonar, I felt it necessary to search the outer marker for the diagram of the Arcevar Nover system.” replied Tarn
“Did you find it?” asked Zonar
“With the aid of the ones that stand before you, well with the exception of Tobaz we managed to find the diagram of the system and I think a diagram of what they look like.” replied Tarn.
“You do?” asked Zonar
“Yes we do Lord Zonar” replied Tarn
“Does it look like a Hel’resion?” asked Zonar
“Lord Zonar, “ replied Tarn “I have never seen a Hel’resion before so I can not say that it does or it does not.”
“What do they look like?” asked Zonar
“They seemed to have two major body masses, with an interconnecting section between them, two different sets of legs and four heads.” replied Tarn.
“They seemed unlikely to have built the outer marker, they do not have any arms to have constructed such a device. They will fall easy before my hordes of followers as we invade and conquer them.” announced Zonar.
“You plan on attacking them Lord Zonar?” asked Tarn
“Yes it is the nature for all things to fall under my rule.” said Zonar
“That may not be a wise course of action in dealing with the Arcevar Nover.” said Tarn.
“Are you questioning my orders Tarn?” yelled Zonar
“No Lord Zonar” replied Tarn “I am not but all four messages in four different languages of the Dicon Galactic Empire stated the Arcevar Nover welcomed peaceful contact of any form but it also said they will not tolerate any aggressive behavior on our part and we should leave their system.”
“I fear no one, we will invade and conquer this system.” said Zonar
“Excuse me my Lord Zonar,” said Tobaz “perhaps Tarn has a point, maybe the Arcevar Nover will peacefully accept you as their ruler, if so we do not need to invade and conquer them and if they refuse to accept you as their ruler then we go ahead with the invasion.”
Zonar looked at Tobaz, his gaze was not a good look. Zonar then said, “You are fools all of you to suggest this course of action and you all shall die. But before you do you will see my greatness as I crush the Arcevar Nover, they will also die too as I possess their world from their dying grasp. Taskeven!”
“Yes my Lord Zonar” said Taskeven
“Signal the rest of the fleet, we shall attack this Arcevar Nover and crush them.” ordered Zonar
“Yes my Lord Zonar.” said Taskeven, he then bowed before Zonar and then turned and left the command chamber.
