" Get aboard! " The team quickly took up defensive positions, motioning for the Angalesh to escape. Security began to flow in now, and a few team members even went down. " We will cover your retreat! " The team leader said.

((Hold on a sec... something wierd happened there. My post showed up twice... let's try this again... Please delete your last post. I'll delete my double, and we'll start again from here.))
Qynag simply glanced around the craft he'd stepped into and sat down on the floor. "~Definately going into the journal.~" he mumbled.
Meanwhile, Lash made no move against the remaining soldiers.

" Leave the other one, it won't budge! Get the primary objective out of here! " The fighter brought the cargo doors to a close, and locked it into place. All five quickly left, taking their shield disrupting rods with them. The fighters changed form slightly, bringing to bare heavy-duty engines. In an instant, they were going at atleast Mach 12. Qunaq had quite likely been plastered against the wall unable to move if he didn't shape-shift into a better form.
Back at the tower, only the team leader was left as the security forces closed in. He held all 6 rifles at once, and continued firing. " Death to the Alliance! " He shouted over and over.

Indeed plastered against the back wall, Qynag shouted, "~Gee-force! Whoo! Ok, enough of that...~"
He turned sideways, standing on the back wall, and shifted his form to handle what felt like a few extra G's. He then stood there, waiting for whatever inertial dampeners the fighter had to kick in...

After only a few minutes, the fighters suddenly pulled on the brakes, going from Mach 12 to only a few miles in a few seconds. Koans were undoubtly resistant to G-force, or there was something else. A few minutes later, the engines turned off, and the cargo bay door opened to reveal a rather high-tech city.

Qynag was thrown against the opposite wall, but he recovered from his daze quickly enough to watch the bay doors open. Dusting himself off a bit, he stepped out into the city.

Around him were a lot of skyscapers with thousands of public transportation pods rolling around on metal tracks high above the ground. The sky was tinted blue from a massive shield generator in the center of the F.I.N. that protected against most weapons. At this point in time, the Alliance had almost entirely given up seiging the heavily fortified F.I.N. The FIN architecture seemed to favor curves, along for their supportive structure. The air was clean of dust, stopped by the shield. Apparently they had perfected many aspects of life.
The pilot walked over to him. " You'll want to head to the Senate. This droid will show you. " The pilot then walked off, leaving behind a floating droid. It said, " Follow me, please. And watch your step, we're nearly a mile high in the sky. "

"Meeting with all the officials today..." he said as he followed the droid.

The droid led him into a pod, which rolled for a few hours into the very heart of the city. The buildings got taller as they neared the central building in which the government was housed. Koans have a habit of arranging themselves around a 'higher' government apparently.
The pod began to roll up metal tracks, with a steep increase in height signifying that they had reached Mount Serenity, the central zone of the FIN. It had many battle scars, where they had held the last line of defense against the Alliance many times. At the summit, a very tall tower was positioned over a very large estate. This estate was almost entirely a 'forest' in that it had artificially-grown trees created from genetic codes found in Jualican ruins. The tower itself was built much like our Eiffel Tower, in that it had multiple legs combining into a central tower.
It seemed like a massive fortress, with huge mounted guns designed to obliterate a starship with a single shot. The FIN never let their guard down when it came to the Alliance or anyone else. At the very top was the generator that protected all of the FIN. Just under it was a large expanse of metal and glass that was the Senate. This the pod rolled into it, opening up in the very middle of a large group of Koans sitting around a central podium. " We've arrived. "

Qynag looked around, then unsure of what to do, he hesitantly said, "Uh... Greetings from Angal?"

After he said that, a lot of whispering went on. Then someone got up the nerve to talk, " This is preposterous, we cannot trust an extraterrestial to help us! " Followed by another, " The Jubila District agrees with Minora District, we cannot trust an extraterrestial! " Soon a loud roar of talking had started, " Jubila and Minora District are fool-hardy to leave the prospect of FTL out of the F.I.N. reach! "
Suddenly, a massive, " SILENCE!!! " erupted. The wave was so massive that a lot of metal was magnetized because of it. Needless to say, everyone stopped talking. " As Prime District, Haven has full authority over foreign policy. This subject is not one that is democratic in nature. No other District has the power to alter, or deny policy set by Haven District. Extraterrestial, do you have one of those portable computers that the Alliance stole? " Haven District asked Qunaq.

"Yes." he replied. He dug around in his cloak pocket and removed the TAOQY, holding it in his hand for them to see.

" Hand it over to the F.I.N., Extraterrestial. We are the good guys in this game of massive bad guys. " Haven District extended his tentacle out for Qynaq to hand it over.

He did so, and muttered to himself, "~Just handing it out to everyone today... the council would have been soooo pissed...~" A flash of a smile crossed his face.

Haven District set it upon his podium, and hooked a few wires, and a recorder in place. He then activated it, searching through its database for all the information he could find. The information was then displayed on four holographic screens positioned so that the whole Senate could see the information, and then vote accordingly. " I suggest we send the entire information to the engineer, scientist, and ecological quarters for evaluation and re-engineer. " The whole Senate quickly said, " Agreed. " Haven Quarter then moved his eye band to look at Qynaq, " What do you wish of us, Extraterrestial? We are greatly in your debt. "
