Beep!
[ Taking over the control of the spacecraft was completed. ]
[ Analyzing Spaceship Status... ]
"Great... While you're doing that, can you tell the na of this asteroid-like spacecraft..."
[ Yes. This spacecraft was nad On IV. It was the latest interstellar spacecraft created by the Arians. As we have suspected, it was using a similar Raze Drive technology but the record shows that it was an improved version of this technology. The official na was Raze Drive II. ]
"Mhmm... Just like what I thought... Continue your checks on the system..."
[ Status has been confird.
Aether Force : 89% [ Green ]
Raze Drive II - System : 92% [ Green ]
Shield Nucleus Energy : 1% [ Red ]
Hadron Beam Energy : 100% [ Green ]
Armour Phase : 70% [ Yellow ]
Internal Assembly : 87% [ Green ]

Ace saw a long list of information about the current status of the spacecraft.
He felt relieved seeing that the damage they've caused was only minimal and everything was still functional except to the shield generators that were heavily destroyed. Anyway, it can be easily fixed if ever he plans to use this spaceship for his own benefit.
He also smiled seeing a huge amount of Aether Force!
At last! He now possesses a huge amount of this energy. Although Aether Force can be acquired if people possess the money, not just anyone could collect them from the source. The GH Drive that also harnesses this energy couldn't be easily found.
Imitations like Raze Drive might appear but the original won't be easily surpassed by these...
The 89% that was remaining made him truly delighted... Not only it was very effective, he was familiar on how to use them and may even have a chance to fully integrate this to mana spell or artifact.
Considering the size of this spacecraft, it was normal to expect that the Aether Force they were saving up would also be in a large container. Sothing that could power more than a hundred mid-size battleship for a long ti shouldn't be impossible with this size...
"It seems that the Mana Wave was effective against them..."
Ace muttered after seeing that the Arians were still unconscious...
In the anti, the automatons worked non-stop to capture all the people inside and gather them on the largest hall within the 13 kiloters wide spacecraft.
"There's a total of 335 crews... All of them were mixed breeds... Interesting..."
The people within the bridge were gathered at the front of the group as they were the high-ranking officers. The person that was suspected as the captain of this ship was also brought at the center of the group...
After more than fifteen minutes of being unconscious, they started to slowly recover and realize their current situation...
They were gathered within the central hall and was guarded by several automatons!
There were even five ch Fras observing them within the hall...
'What happened?!'
The captain of the ship just woke up and couldn't understand what truly happened...
From what he rembered, they have detected an approaching spacecraft blocking their course and were suddenly warned about the presence of high-grade ECM that disrupts their communications network. It was even reported to have co from ch Fras that have stealthily approached their spacecraft.
It was truly embarrassing for the latest spacecraft created by their country to be unable to detect the approaching ch Fras...
This was the most expensive spacecraft they made!
During that ti, the captain even thought that they should've purchased spaceships from the Empire instead of making their own... After all, even if it would be very expensive, they would be able to guarantee its capability.
Sigh~
Based on his mories, after they tried activating their defenses, they were suddenly bombarded by unbelievably strong positron blaster cannons... Their shield generators didn't stand a chance...
Their late discovery of another enemy spacecraft was their biggest mistake...
It was such a scary experience to be unable to properly control the course of the battle.
The enemy didn't even bother to communicate with them so there was no way to learn who was attacking them. He wanted to negotiate but a weird form of energy made them incapable in matter of few seconds. It was a surely an advance form of technology as their equipnt had been unable to detect anything at all...
Before he lost consciousness, he was sure that these thods of attacks were mostly being done by the space pirates...
He can only hope that they would only be robbed and not be killed...
'Sigh~ I guess we're lucky that we're still alive...'
The captain looked behind him and notice that all the mbers of the crew were present. They were all unard and even their hi-tech equipnts or garnts were removed.
Aside from their simple clothes, they didn't have anything else. They clearly lost the battle.
He also noticed that there was an automaton in the middle and was quietly observing them.
'That must be their leader... They all look the sa... What race is this?'
After thinking for a mont, the captain had a sudden guess about the automatons' identity...
"They must be from the Xeno Collective!"
The captain said it out loud due to excitent...
Xeno Collective was also a minor race like them and they were ruled by machines. This race was said to lack conscience in their actions but they were not truly evil. They were an artificial race that was created due to so experintation of one of the Major Races.
Of course, Ace heard the captain's exclamation. He even smiled a bit about it as they truly seem to be from that Minor Race due to their appearance...
No one has a sign of life at all and they were all made of machines. It wasn't wrong for the captain to think like that...
However, did he truly think that a mber of the Xeno Collective would be this faraway from their territory? They were known to be overly protective of their borders and wouldn't leave them unless they were in a truly disastrous situation... Not even space pirates would want to have any connections with them.
Aside from that, he was also curious why the man was actually happy after thinking that they were from the Xeno Collective... Arians and Xeno Collective shouldn't be friendly due to their affiliations...
"Are you the captain?"
It was a robotic voice that ca from the automaton that Ace was controlling.
Since he wasn't eting them personally, Avalon was instead translating Ace's words to the Arian's Language.
"Yes! I am Shreguc Stoutsnarl... Captain of the Alliance's First Warship On that aims to destroy the relic that could cause war between the Federation and the Empire... We are not the enemy! We only wish to end the tension and have a peaceful era for the future generations... Please, believe us!"
He didn't wait for Ace to ask more questions and stated their affiliations and aim in their voyage... In truth, Ace wanted to ask first about the space mines they've released, but the sudden ntion of a certain relic had caught his attention.
