Portal to the Mass Effect universe...
The 200 ships is currently docked on the mother probe, orbiting steadily the large portal to other universe quite literally.
The largest ships, which is considered to be the flagships of each of the two battlefleets is shining due to the light being radiated by the universal portal.
Cannons on the side shone, different ornaments with all sorts of design presumably designed after each of their species' cultures as the signature eagle on the head of the ships are nowhere to be seen.
On the helm are the identifier for the Auxiliary army. A simple bull head with large horns and a number written in High Gothic in its forehead is the formal insignia for the Auxiliary army.
They're docked on the mother probe to let the baby probes locate the enemy before having the fleet move in and swoop the enemy out of existence.
The innumerable space probes scattered all throughout the universe specially those near the galactic supercluster started to triangulate the position of the enemy and have the fleet move in to eliminate them and get it done with.
After a couple more hours and the result will finally come and the admiral of the fleet will choose whatever to do with the information.
Either go and meet the enemy head on or try to bait them out and eliminate them near a black hole, or something else.
The Imperium high command didn't really paid attention to the Inorganics. They basically gave the admiral free reign to do whatever he wants with the enemy with the exception of befriending them of course which the admiral knew full well.
While the probes at busy triangulating the position of the enemy. Back on Earth or at least outside at the dark space between the solar system and the Alpha Centauri star system, a large fleet of 500 ships of Inorganic origin is traversing it silently, not minding anything or anyone on their path as they searched for the system space of the so-called Imperium of Mankind.
Just then, the space probe orbiting Earth who's antenna are slowly rotating suddenly locked in a position as it shot out massive sound waves amd received massive sound waves in form of data too.
The space probe locked into a small fleet of the enemy Inorganic. This information was immediately sent back to the mother probe and relayed to the battlefleet.
The system in place is absolutely efficient beyond belief. Transferring almost an infinite size of data using special methods such as quantum tunneling or whatever to a receiver with a distance of billions of light years apart are absolutely efficient.
Back on the mother probe, the fleet has already came to life as portals opened before each ship.
Last minute check ups on systems before flying is happening. System check ups, ignition level, hull state, and many more sfaety protocols are being done before flight as the thousands of crew worked until their backs break to ensure the safety of their battleships.
"Systems all green. Ready to enter the string dimension. Brace for primary shock!" the sound of an alien who's voice sounded like he or she is underwater was heard all throughout the speakers of a random battleship.
As people rushed towards their own stations and strapped themselves on what looked like seatbelts, the battleship slowly moved on space as the helm of the ship has finally entered the portal.
Likewise, on a certain space station in the Milky Way galaxy. Aliens or that's what you'll label them are scrambling to track whatever that high energy that exploded somewhere in the galaxy in a fraction of a nanosecond.
These aliens looked like women, everyone are women. From mechanics to scientists. All of them are women. They have a weird purplish color for their skin. Their hair looked like as if it's part of their head because they have no scalp and their hair is covered with skin.
This race of aliens are by far considered the most influential and possibly most powerful race in he galaxy in terms of technological advancements.
They're the very first race to discover and settle the Citadel. They're also the first one's to develop interstellar travel just second to the Protheans.
These people are stunned and dumbfounded as the energy wave that was just detected by now are nothing they have ever seen. Something you'll consider to be almost magical or outright unscientific.
Furthermore, not just them but also other civilizations on an interstellar level also managed to record the waves be it some with inaccuracies compared to the purplish aliens.
It broke all known laws of Physics, the energy outburst just now is on the levels of sextillions times that of the heaviest black hole they have discovered thus far which weighs around a little less than half a trillion kilograms.
This made the best of the best scientists try to find an explanation on this phenomenon. This sent not just the aliens but the whole council in turmoil trying to find an answer to this happening.
This even kickstarted a race, a race against the other members of the Citadel to see and find who gets to have an explanation first.
This incident can very well upset and completely change the balance of power amongst the members of the Citadel.
...
Back on Earth Lupus and his small band of men has finally found a settlement. There they parted their ways as some wanted to rendezvous with the army of the Praetors while some just wanted to go home.
Lupus opted to rejoin as they know the army will eventually come here. It's by far better than just being labelled as a coward.
But while waiting for the army to arrive he can instead start rooting himself on this fairly large town.
He'll make this town his and in extent the squad's home base and have it directly under their controls.
Then he'll increase his political power steadily until he got himself a position in the senate.
And when that happens, he'll light the flames of civil war...
