Summoning Earth

Chapter 5: The First Contact

On May 18, off the eastern coast of Qua Toyne, a warship belonging to the 2nd Fleet of Qua Toyne.

Out on the vast ocean, a warship of Qua Toyne is patrolling its usual maritime zone with its crew on board. Noda is the captain of the vessel, relishing the fresh air of the ocean and the gentle rocking of the waves against the ship, making him quite content.

"Yes, it's this scenery. No battles, just the sea and the clear sky," he says with a sense of happiness. The crew is relaxed on the ship's deck. Suddenly, a reconnaissance comrade hurriedly approaches the captain, who is standing and gazing toward the ship's bow. The reconnaissance comrade, with an anxious and bewildered demeanor, says,

"Commander Noda! To the east, we have dozens of ships from an unidentified nation! How do you suggest we handle this situation?!" startling Commander Noda, snapping him out of the relaxed state. The reconnaissance comrade immediately hands him binoculars to observe the approaching warships. The commander takes them and examines,

"Are those ships entirely gray? Finally, who are they? We should start moving and approach them! Everyone, prepare for combat! And call for reinforcements immediately!!" The decisive order is given. A few minutes later, everyone is in combat readiness, approaching the gray-colored ships. Communication technicians start sending reports back to the mainland.

USS John Finn, 7th Fleet

In the command tower of the USS John Finn, the crew continuously updates the situation for the commanders inside the tower. They have spotted a wooden ship on its way to the Rodenius continent. Brigadier General Marcus Bradshaw, holding binoculars, gazes at the distant sailing ship. Beside him are interpreters and Rodolfo Chavez, a diplomatic representative for the United States on the diplomatic mission. Brigadier General Marcus decides to break the tense atmosphere among him and the others.

"It seems we'll have guests there, and since we have full knowledge of their technology provided by the defense department, things should be smoother for us," he says calmly. The diplomat chuckles and remarks,

"Hey, what do you think when they see a computer for the first time? I'm really curious about their reaction to the things we have."

"Astonishment and surprise, perhaps? I'm not sure, but first, we'll approach them with an RHIB and the UH-60 Seahawk, and we'll have to translate that alien language through the laptop."

Wooden ship of the 2nd Fleet, Qua Toyne

As their wooden ship attempts to approach the colossal vessels, reconnaissance crew members hold binoculars, with the captain standing nearby. He is uneasy with vague information about the gray warships on the ocean with peculiar, unidentified flags. The scout reports,

"A gray ship is launching a small boat... with some people on it? What do they think by approaching us with that small boat?" After saying this, he sees the RHIBs starting to shoot off at an incredible speed and advancing toward their boat. Additionally, a drone approaches their location. He is surprised and astonished,

"Wait! The speed of those ships is unimaginable, and that small dragon? I'm not even sure it's a dragon; who are they, after all?"

Captain Noda is taken aback by the scout's words. "Everyone, remember! Avoid any actions that may provoke these mysterious individuals! As I said, in Qua Toyne, we don't want to create more enemies!" And the MQ-8 hovers above them, sending chills through the entire crew with its strange and eerie sound.

After a few minutes, the strange ship of those people has approached their boat. When they see the flag with stars and five red stripes on a white background and another flag with a navy blue background and a peculiar symbol in the middle, the crew and the captain become concerned, and the captain silently wonders,
