When the button was pressed, Strechen wasn't sure what she expected.
The door pulling back and a ramp extending from the floor down to the deck of a massive flight bay was one of the possibilities, for sure.
The vast amounts of dropships and aerospace strikers as well as obvious torchships had been part of her expectation.
What was not was the two lines of Terrans drawn up, twenty to a side, on either side of a red fabric path that ended with what was one of the largest Terrans (not that she'd seen that many) that Strechen had ever seen.
The female Terran waved at the group to follow.
"The Final Sight of Black Night is a Knight Aesir colossus class warship in the Deireadh an Domhain classification," Caoimhe stated, her voice pitched to sound excited yet sohow calm at the sa ti. "Built from design phase up to support a full company of Ringbreaker Class warriors as well as the combat and logistics support personnel required for an effective military campaign. The Final Sight of Black Night can provide orbital fire support, establish control of a stellar system, as well as provide manufacturing, dical, and transportation services to a full brigade of Ringbreaker Knights should there be a need for such."
The Terran female walked them down the ramp, toward the two drawn up lines.
The Dra.Falten followed nervously. The humans were large, larger even than Magnus had been.
Strechen hadn't realized that even her unusual height made it so she only ca up to the middle of the Terran's torso.
At first, as they moved slowly, tenatively through the corridor the two lines of Terrans made, Strechen thought that all the Terrans looked alike. They were all males, all in the sa mottled gray, black, and white camouflage.
Then her brain began to sort out differences.
This one had blue eyes. This one green. This one gray. This one hazel. That one had larger ears, that one had smaller ears. That one had a larger wider nose. This one had a narrower longer nose. This one had a wider chin. That one had yellow-gold hair. This one had red hair. The facial features were slightly different. This one slightly taller, that one slightly broader, this one more muscular.
It helped, perhaps, that Dra.Falten males had little beyond fur pattern to distinguish themselves, which made her more sensitive to differences.
The two at the end, though, stood out.
The smaller of the two, twice the height of Strechen, was introduced as High Lord Captain High Lord Knight of Aesir O’Byrne. Leeu, the XO, Hrekkel, and herself were introduced by the female Terran Caoimhe. When Tawtchee was introduced as rely "Male-9912743" Strechen thought, for a second, that there was an aura of disgust from the two males.
It vanished before she could be sure it was anything but her imagination.
The second Terran male, larger than any others, was introduced as "Lord Knight Aesir Ringbreaker Naois
