3 First Contact

When Gilgamesh looked at the group of 21 individuals he felt their curious stares and at the same time felt an irrational fear.

The leader Vex telepathically communicated to the group, 'Do not look at him as a scientific specimen. We need him alive in order to have a better psychological understanding of him and his kind.' He commanded, 'We will only experiment with them when we determined the natives' usefulness to the Falcon family'.

Vex looked at the human thinking that while the man was attractive with very regale features he was not in the same league as an average Parthian. The man began to wonder about the human's origin. How could they possibly look so similar to his own race when there were millions of light years apart from each other?

The Parthian race has an innate polyglot ability. Just short physical contact enabled them to communicate in the native tongue. Vex asked Gilgamesh," Are there more of your kind around here?"

Gilgamesh still enthralled by the strange visitors broke out of his reverie and responded warily, "There is a small village just over the rise. I can lead you there if you desire."

Gilgamesh thought that they seemed peaceful and so he had no problem leading to them to the village. At the same time, the visitors seemed powerful so he remained respectful as he began to lead the way. While he was curious of their origins he did not ask, as he believed his chief could figure this out.

Vex looked at Gilgamesh with indifference as they began walking towards the village. He said to Gilgimesh, "No need to be so respectful. Just call me Vex."

The group was noticed by the villagers from afar. They gathered to greet Gilgamesh and inquired about the newcomers. They greeted them with reference. Some felt fear but all felt automatic respect for these people. Their appearance was so foreign and regal. They seemed to glow with power. The village leader approached the group. He sensed that trouble was coming but he felt helpless to stop the 21 as they approached his hut.

On the Falcon family world base there was a commotion as Commander Vex of the Exploratory Falcon unit reported discovering a race of beings that were similar to humans.

"We should scaffold the world immediately," a man said in a luxurious purple toga, wearing his usual diamond skin armor making him seem as if he was glowing in the sun. His deep blue eyes locked onto the 2 other men sitting in this pocket dimensional space.

"I agree." A man with green eyes and a beard said with interest.

"I think, we're all in agreement," said the man wearing a cowl said with his face hidden by shadow.

The man in the cowl left the pocket dimensional meeting space meant to hold private conversations. The cowled man looked at the guard standing at the exit point and told him to contact Vex to send him an in-depth report of the planet to find out how suitable it was for scaffolding. While scaffolding, creating a dimensional space that is tied to a planet, could be done with any planet, the rare planets that contained life were usually more stable in the long run.

The red-eyed boy is confused. He doesn't remember who he was or how he got here or even where he was. He looked into the forest surrounding him before he stopped at the gigantic creature that was lying dead 10 feet in front of him. Without a second thought, he walked towards the creature and crawled inside. He began to spin a cocoon around himself in the otherworldly creature's body.

Parthians have two abilities that are unique to their race. They have the power to create any material which allows them to build structures of various shapes and characteristics. They are also capable of manipulating space on a fundamental level. While they had other abilities as well, those traits weren't race specific to them. Many other abilities were adopted from other species and modified to fit their needs.

If the young man from before would have seen himself spinning a cacoon he would have been puzzled.
