Ob: Well the Bio Emitters turned out to be some what expensive and then I got distracted with the Trilons.
Ib: I thought the hull do not look as shiny as it should, basically you are telling me the ship is unprotected.
Ob: We have defenses I just thought out here in the middle of no space I did not think we would meet an hostile force.
Ib: And you said and I quote "Chance happens in the strangest of places..."
Ob: Nothing strange about this place.
Ib: Haxians, artifacts and a seeder ship not strange! Mmm.
Ob: Maybe the best thing to do would be to hide somewhere. Err and quickly there is a ship on the scanner.
Ib: Well Haxians are very two dimensional in their thinking I really do not how they made it into space. Have you seen the inside of their ships it is all flat surfaces and no place to sit.
Ob: How does it help us?
Ib: Easy drop into a lower orbit, it will take them at least a couple of rotations before they figure out where we have gone. And by then we will have come up with a better plan.
Ob: Do you really think they will fall for that?
Ib: Only one way to find out.
Ob: One interval.
Ob: Errr there appears to be a lot of radiation here in the southern hemisphere at this altitude. Was not this the place you dumped your beta nano swarm last time we were here?
Ib: Yes well they taking up space in the cargo bay plus they never did anything useful.
Ob: That is why they call it beta. According to the scanner there is a central mass in the center of the radiation. It is ten times our mass.
Ib: How close are we to it?
Ob: Hold a panug! Purple Monopods! It is coming closer at velocity.
Ib: Well if the swarm survived technically they are Grey Tech and it attracts other Grey Tech, hence Grey World.
Ob: We are getting a signal on the encrypted channel.
Ib: And?
Ob: They are requesting a power transfer and have given us landing signals.
Ib: I am not sure about this, Nano-swarms can be very needy.
Ob: It is better than hanging about waiting for the Haxians to turn up.
Ib: Fine.
Human Interlude #4
J: Mr President, NASA have reported an unknown object at the center of the South Atlantic Anomaly.
Mr President: What do they want me to do about it. Did that space station see it?
J: NASA had to turn off the live feed again, you know it makes all the Alien Conspiracy theorists jumpy when they do that.
Mr President's Hair: yes they love feeding the trolls.
Mr President: I don't see what they expect me to do, all they ever do is ask me for money and avoid all my questions.
Mr Berg: That is simply not true Mr President, your just not suited to the answers they give.
Mr President: What does the object look like?
Mr Berg: Excellent question Mr President, shows the true scientist in you.
Mr President: What's the answer?
Mr Berg: Well apparently it was very big and black.
Mr President: Was? How do you see something black on the blackness of space exactly?
Mr Berg: It only appeared for a few moments some Youtuber caught it on the live feed.
Mr President: What you are telling me is that NASA watches YouTube?
Mr Berg: Not all the time.
J: Mr President I think perhaps now would be a good time for one of your tweets.
