'Set her down then. Deploy planetfall gear. Let's try and keep the ship upright and a little off the ground, hm?'

'Deploying.'

The slender cruiser opens thin sections on her hull, revealing them to be landing gear to safely touch down in the prepared landing-zone.

'We're down, captain.'

'Good. Begin deploying Windtroopers, and keep the shipboard artillery active; just in case these Terrans aren't as friendly as they appear.' The Alliance sends a text only message, requesting that you send a delegation to Castiel, which is at this point only about a half a mile away. They proceed to do so. Soon enough, the Terran base finds several Aetanii approaching. Four are wearing grey uniforms: there are also others, two in brown, one in green, and one in blue. They are met outside the gates of the recently constructed perimeter by several Terran men in crisp dress uniforms. There are soldiers and defences on the wall, of course. "Welcome to Castiel." The Terrans find it difficult to tell which Aetanii are which gender: all of them look female by human standards.

'I am Lieutenant Nobuna Oda,' one of the brown-uniformed soldiers says, stepping forward. Her voice marks her as female. 'We are pleased to make first contact with your nation, though it's regrettable that it had to be under such circumstances.'

'Senior Engineer Tohka Yatogami, at your service,' says the Aetanii in blue.

'Wing Commander Shido Itsuka, at your service,' says the Aetanii in green. Unlike the first two, his voice marks him as male.

(Only the Rin would readily be able to tell the difference between Aetanii genders, as they have had fairly constant contact.) The Terran officers all bow in turn. "I am General Albert Schweitzer. These are the governors of Castiel. We are pleased to make your acquaintance. Will you step inside the city?"

The Aetanii nod, and follow the Terrans. The humans also notice that all have short metal rods at their waist, save the one who addressed herself as Oda: she has two, double-length versions hanging from her belt. The gates slide silently open, and they lead you through the streets of the place called Castiel, which is still under development. The general starts pointing out barracks, domed buildings containing advanced Alliance farming systems, medical facilities, and the housing districts, which are still under construction.

The Aetanii nod in silent acknowledgement as they follow, though they occasionally whisper amongst themselves in their native language. They also notice that there are weapons emplacements on just about every crossroads. They take note of this as they follow the Terrans to their destination. The capital building at the center of town looks like a cross between a bunker and an actual governing building. They guide you inside, and there are many guards in faceless white Power Armour, the Centurions.
