"i am making an executive decision, as commander of this fleet, open a channel to the council's respective vessels" i ordered
"yes sir............ comms are open captain" came the reply
"i'm giving out new orders all individuals who wish to aid or friends from sidonia, should send their requests to admiral cain everyone else submit yourselves to captain lasky, i want all council members to give these orders to their respective officers, i am only taking volunteers, send me the full list upon it's completion in six hours, anyone who doesn't volunteer by this time will be sent with captain lasky and the civilians that is all" i said as i signaled for the channel to be cut
"i'm not letting harm come to the innocents" i said
six hours later, the report was in a fleet was formed from that report, i sent all of the scientists from our respective organizations to the infinity and sent the colony fleet on it's way
"do we have the coordinates for this sidonia" i asked
"aye sir" came the reply from the navigation officer
"then inform all ships to prepare to jump" i said i looked to our guests
"you just got your wish, a fleet has just volunteered to come to your aid" i said to them they nodded
"thank you" their leader said i just waved him off
"all ships report ready to jump" the comms officer said
"then let's get to it, initiate slip-jump" i said, the ordered was followed and the fleet followed the eternity into slipspace, arriving right next to the seedship sidonia
"alright navigation, get to work" i said, i turned to the guests
"i would suggest returning home, and informing your superiors to sit tight, once our calculations are complete your ship can join us at our new home" i said, they nodded as the left the bridge with their escort
it took two months sixteen days and four hours and numerous battles for the calculations to be rewritten from scratch, dimension travel is hellish
"we are ready to jump sir" the navigation officer informed
"finally, comms" i called
"channel open sir" came the reply
"all hands this is captain ikari, final calculations are now complete, sitrep" i ordered out, and one by one each ship reported their full readiness
"sidonia is go" came kobayashi's reply, i looked towards miranda who smiled and nodded
"eternity is go" she said
"alright then, the reports i received from the infinity state that colonization of our home is coming along nicely, let's get out of here, helm take us out initiate slip-jump" i ordered
"aye sir, with pleasure" the officer replied as the fleet including sidonia entered slipspace
what we found was something that was awe inspiring, the infinity grossly understated the readiness of the nation that was built if not one but THREE mega-class star dreadnoughts were any indication, we ended up in the same universe as the dreadnought but years in the past before the ship was even designed and built, so yes there is that
"captain ikari, remnants of the united coalition, this is captain lasky of the sovereign, welcome home my friends" lasky said as the fleet was welcomed in with open arms and escorted to a spacedock, i gave out a sigh, as i gave a nod to miranda
"all hands you now have permission to disembark, i repeat all hands have permission to disembark, welcome to your new home" miranda keyes ordered to the crew of the eternity
i waited until i was the last one aboard
"thank you eternity" i said as i left the bridge to disembark the vessel
"sir the council is requesting your presence" miranda said as i disembarked
"already, we just got here" i said
"they said it's urgent they meet you" she replied, i sighed
"very well, inform them to give me a moment to compose myself then i shall meet them, where" i asked
"aboard the sovereign sir, it is apparently the new flagship" she said i rolled my eyes but nodded
"understood thank you commander, after you carry out your orders your relieved of duty for the next month, take some time to yourself before thinking about reenlisting" i said, she nodded
"thank you sir, but i think i will stay in the military in whatever capacity i am able" she replied i rolled my eyes but nodded, and left her
after composing myself that my journey was finally over, i moved to the transporter room of the spacedock and beamed to the flagship
"captain ikari, i was told to expect you, welcome aboard the ikari" a starfleet lieutenant said, i nodded to him
"thank you, lieutenant" i said, as a lieutenant commander entered the transporter room
"captain ikari, i have been ordered to escort you to the conference room" the woman said
"lead the way" he said as i exited the room, as we walked i noticed quite abit
"very starfleet inspired" i said
"yes sir, the decks were made with inspiration from starfleet, many called us the kings of comfort, which isn't entirely wrong, all ships appear like starfleet vessels on the inside but they are still warships, the sovereign is a mobile command dreadnought, first of her class" the commander said, i nodded, we soon arrived at a door
"the main conference room sir, good luck" he said i nodded as i entered the room, sat at the conference table was captain thomas lasky, arbiter thel 'vadam, captain susan ivanova, admiral william ross, empress asseylum vers allusia, shogun yuuhi koubuin, admiral helena cain, general james ironwood, uzumi nara athha, cagalli yula athha, captain osamu yamanami, and captain saki todo
"captain ikari glad of you to join us" admiral ross said
"thank you admiral" i said
"now that we are here we have much to discuss" uzumi said
"why is my presence here required exactly, my duty to the fleet concluded on arrival" i asked
"you are still the commanding officer of the UNSC forces, unless you stepped down and i haven't been informed" thomas said, i rolled my eyes
"if that were the case you wouldn't be here tom, this has something to do with me" i said
"it does yes, we are here, for once reason there is no reason for us to separate any longer, we here to discuss the government we have already agreed it will be a monarchy and we have all already agreed on a ruler" yuuhi said, i blinked
"why was i not informed of this" i asked
"because you would have refused" helena replied
"are you questioning my loyalty admiral cain" i asked dangerously
"far from it, captain, especially when the person we chose you physically cannot follow" helena said
"who is it then" i asked, as every single person looked at me, and it dawned me
"ah hell, your kidding me right please tell me your joking" i said
"we are not, you have led this fleet, you have shed blood, sweat and tears, for this fleet, you are worthy of the throne" james replied, my eye twitched
"i see, it seems i cannot refuse" i said
"not without everything you built falling apart" tom said with a chuckle
"alright well, i am gonna get one last use of this council, before i officially take the throne" i said with a sinister smile on my face
"as my first order as your emperor, you idiots get to help me build our military structure" i said
