Honkai Star Rail: Interastral War Corporation

Prologue: A Letter

As the trailblazers were reboarding the Express from the whole Luofu fiasco, they were met with an annoyed Pom-Pom, waving a letter at them.

Pom-Pom: What did you guys do this time!?

March: Nothing!

- "What is going on!?"

> "I don't know!"

- "WHY ARE WE YELLING!?"

Pom-Pom: Just take the letter!

When you take the letter, you see that it says to 'The Nameless', but the from part is empty, but when you look at the front of the letter, it has a stamp from the... wait... IPC!? Why didn't they send a transmission to us, or a messenger, or something! Why did it have to be a letter? As you open it, suspicious of what could be happening, you wonder, 'Why could they be wanting to talk to us?' However, before you could read it, March snatches it from your hands.

March: Let me read it, too!

Dan Heng facepalms.

As March reads it, her face becomes more and more confused.

March: What? A high ranking member of the IPC wants to speak with us?

Y/n: Lemme see that! I have never heard of this guy in my life, then again I don't know much in general about the IPC, but I think it is best to talk with him.

March: Awwwhhh, come on! We just had the Penacony problem, now another thing with the IPC!? This is crazy...

"Now, now, March, this could be beneficial to us as well, and they might need some help, who are we to turn down a request?" Welt says to try and get some sense into March, but she just pouts without saying anything. "Now, let's go meet this person, and see what he has to ask."

When they arrived at the ship they were supposed to go to, they were met with a soldier, who, to say the least, seemed uneased to see you.

Soldier: P-Please state your reasoning for being here.

Welt: We're here to see someone, we are 'The Nameless'.

Himeko wasn't there because Pom-Pom wanted her to stay, you don't know why though.

Soldier: Oh, he said you would arrive soon, let me bring you to him.

He gestures you guys to follow him

When you arrive at the meeting room, all you see is a couple of guards and a person, sitting in a chair, you assume this is the man that wanted to see you.

"Hello and welcome, call me Catastrophe, or Cat for short." Catastrophe said, with a kind demeanor, something surprisingly rare for first time visits of IPC members.

Cat was a freckled person, with long, curly, jet black hair, the clothes he wore were formal, but informal at the same? It's kind of hard to describe, but he wears a suit and tie, with colors like Topaz's suit, just less out there, however, he has jeans, and a very, very beat up jacket, he also has some other things, but you can't quite make of what it is.

Dan Heng: Can you please tell us why you wanted us here?

Cat: I called you guys here because I need your help.

Cat: You see, there has been a lot more unrest in some of the planets in the IPC's jurisdiction, but there is one planet in particular Martin-V, a planet that has had a lot of IPC military involved, but the people have not been to kind to us, even some IPC members that have defected somehow. You see, normally a diplomat like me would never even think about touching this planet, however, I do command a decent amount of the OL IPC Airforce, and losing this planet will have not only the IPC, but also me at a loss, too. Now I know this sounds very greedy, and it is, but this can also benefit the IPC as a whole as well.

Though his speech was long, it was enough to convince you.

Welt: Fine, we'll help you, but I am kinda confused on what we're going to be doing the whole time.

Cat: Don't worry about that for now, but what we need to do is get you guys some identification, Himeko too, so that you guys can go on the planet no questions asked, I'll get those prepared for you soon, and here's some key cards for some temporary rooms on the ship, it should be available till you guys get to the planet, any questions?

? - Why did you send a letter instead of like a transmission or something?

? - What will you be doing while we're on the planet?

> Where do we go to our rooms?

Cat - A guard will escort you there shortly, have a good time, and be at home!

When you arrive to your room, you see a lot of things to potentially screw around with, but your raccoon brain is too tired from that whole thing, and just wants to go to sleep, and so ends a day in this spaceship.

Meanwhile with Catastrophe doing paperwork:

Cat: Hmmm, let's see how this will play out, I like a bit of complexity.

A/n: I made like half of this at school and half of this at like 10-11 pm because I was bored, and had this idea, hope you like it! Well now the f-ing prologue is done, so yay, but still need to do some edits for reader convenience. (10:41 pm)

(5:08 the next day) Yay all done

All chapters will probably be short, as it's hard to make something long, so just have a good time.
