The local Hive forces in the area were defeated and those that survived would retreat from the area in order to regroup. They wouldn't be a threat for the time being but if the Clones stayed there too long that could change.

Meanwhile the doors to the facility would open when the Clones approached and no Hive were detected in the area.

Expedition
With the hive forces around the entrance defeated, the force quickly forms a perimeter around the doors. The Commander in charge of the force, Dex, orders Sentry Company to rally near the entrance of the unknown facility. Captain Hark and his 144 troopers quickly assemble as Dex tells them that they are going to be entering the facility and scout it out. With their orders given, Sentry company enters the facility, making sure to remain alert.

The floor of the facility was a smooth metallic silver while the walls were golden yet still made with the same metal as the floor. The facility used to be a military base but there were no vehicles or weapons to be found there as they had been cleared out during the Fall of the Empire.

They might be able to see automated turrets around the facility as well but they did not fire on the Clones. Osiris had turned them off because what was about to happen next needed to happen in order for them to have a chance at ending the Dark Dragon's threat. However even he might not have seen what was about to really happen.

Trepidation
The company continues to advance through the facility, taking note of anything interesting. The troopers remain on guard as the silence of the facility and the lack of activity is disconcerting considering the hive presence that was once outside.

Engines Online, Batteries ready
After repairing the sensors, engineering split their work between repairing the weapon and the propulsion systems. With the aid of the fabricator, the task is now finished, and the Headway is now capable of in atmosphere flight.

Mining started
The mining equipment sent earlier has finally arrived, and now the task of unearthing the uranium has begun. It is expected to be awhile before the mines yield results, but this is a needed task to ensure the base and ship continue to have power.

Eventually they would make their way to the center of the facility where there was a large chamber and in the center of it was a stasis tank (their version of a bacta tank) holding a large Black Dragon inside of it. (Considering how many other aliens in Star Wars look he would probably be one of the least strange looking they have encountered.)

In front of it there was a computer console. It was programmed where all they would have to do in order to open it was for one of them to touch it.

Decision
As the company sees the stasis pod and the console, Hark orders his troops to halt. The 144 Troopers spread out and take cover around the room as Hark contacts command "Commander, we've found a stasis pod containing a large unknown alien organism. We also found a console in the room, which I assume to be some sort of control interface. What are your orders, sir?" he says into his wrist comm. After a few minutes he gets a response "Try and use the console to get any info on the creature, but do not release it, understood?" Hark begins walking towards the console while he acknowledges his orders. Hark reaches the console and begins trying to access it. As soon as he touches it, it blinks in confirmation as warning lights start flashing and the stasis tank starts the process of releasing the subject. He quickly tries to cancel the action before realizing its too late. The troopers aim their weapons at the tank and disengage their safeties as Hark says into his comm unit "Spearhead, this is Sentry actual, we have a problem here."

Eventually, the pod would open up slowly after the liquid inside of it was drained out. The Black Humanoid/Anthro Dragon would regain consciousness before jumping out of the pod a foot or so and hitting the ground with his fist causing a small dent in it before looking up at the troopers aiming their guns at him (which actually wouldn't penetrate his armored scales anyways but they wouldn't know that).

He had a kind of innocent look on his face as he looked at them and used a normal yet slightly innocent tone as he asked them the important question.

"Are you here to kill me?"

Confusion
The troopers continue to aim at the creature, staring at it confused. Several of them mutter "What language is that" as Hark eventually orders the men to lower their weapons with a hand signal. The clones comply, but lower them into a ready position just in case. Hark slowly stands up and walks out of cover while muttering "I hope this thing speaks a language I understand" before he clears his throat and says "What are you?"

Alert
Having received the message from Hark, the forces outside shift their attention from the perimeter to the facility. The Y-wings ready themselves for another run just in case. The assault force splits its forces into 2 groups, the group watching the entrance and the perimeter guard.

"I am a Dragon." He said in their language after listening to them mutter for a bit and recognized the language they spoke. "My name is Emerion. Who are you?"

Federation of clones wrote:

“I am Captain Hark, and these are my men.” he says cautiously “Why were you in that pod? And what is this place?” Hark questions. Several troopers discreetly turn on their video and audio recorders and transmit it to the Headway.

"It used to be a secret base in my much older brother's (Galen) Empire that spanned two universes. Although now. It is only a place where everyone seems to hate me simply for existing. You still didn't answer my question though. Are you here to kill me?"

Federation of clones wrote:

“No, while we were sent here on a search and destroy mission, the target of that was not you. In-fact we didn’t know of your existence until, well, just now.” Hark says.

After he said that Emerion then transformed into a human in his 20's. While Dragons could still live for thousands and thousands of years he didn't age at all in the pod and was put in it before he reached the age of maturity for Dragons (30's or so). If anything he probably looked a lot more innocent now than he did before.

"Sorry about that. All Dragons are actually born as humans but can turn into Dragons when we want to. So what now?"

Check-in
After some debate, Mapper has decided to send another mission to Hesco, this time with communication equipment and supplies to create a small outpost. This mission is being sent with the hope of a potential ally in this new world.

New Dragania wrote:

"Ok. Just please protect me from the evil creatures. They have evil thoughts."

Exit
Hark looks at the man for a second before saying "Uh, okay, sure." before they start walking towards the exit of the facility

Arrival
After a few hours of travel, the 2 Nu-Class shuttles and LAAT Gunship have reached the area that Hesco is located. Once they locate the base proper, they land a little bit outside of the walls in a V formation, with the LAAT in the front. The side doors of the LAAT open and a clone lieutenant steps out of the gunship, and starts slowly walking towards the camp without a weapon.

Waiting

The greeting group still awaits the drone's next actions.

Arrival

"What is that sound?"
"What do you mean Sir?"
"Don't you hear it too? It sounds like that craft the clones used. Hey, get a sniper on all sides to check."

2 minutes pass as the sounds get louder. People in the camp start to question each other in hushed whispers, with guards looking around.

"3 crafts approaching to the south." A guard suddenly states. "One of those looks like the previous ones used by the clones. Approximate speed is..... 250 miles per hour. Estimate distance.... 10 miles. Eta is about 2 minutes and 10 seconds." He looks at Whitney. "Sir if you want to do anything, it better be done quick.
"Hey, greeting party" Whitney shouts. They run from the drone, leaving it with some guards, and arrive with about a minute before the crafts land. "All of you get to greet the Clones once more. Kensly, you're lead. All weapons are to be holstered and or slinged. Get ready." The craft lands and the clone comes out." Best of luck to you." He watches them leave, thinking this could be the best or the worst.

Greetings
The Lieutenant approaches the group and says "Hello, I am Lieutenant Tav. I was sent here to request two things, the creation of a communication station at this camp, and a clone presence to oversee it. Command wishes to have increased levels of cooperation between our two groups, and to facilitate this we offer to use our fabricators to create some surplus ammo or any parts you need. Although to create ammunition we will need some rounds to study."

Grand Abaco wrote:

Welcome!

"Welcome to Hesco! Lieutenant Tav, it is wonderful to meet you. I am Nathan Kensly of Grand Abaco. Of course. Any help will be received gratefully, as we need as much as we can in this strange world. Thank you. These fabricators, I presume will be a great help to our current situation." He looks over to two guards. "Hand over one of your magazines Gerry and Hoff once we are back at base with these amazing folk." Both of the guards nod their heads. He turns back to the Lieutenant. "We are a little jam-packed in here and we are expecting a large aircraft to move its way into the east side of the camp. So if you establish a comms station, we'll have to expand. But expanding is no problem as these barriers can be easily relocated with little effort." He looks back to Oliver at his side and they both nod. He continues as she runs, "The base is going to be expanded and it should be ready by the morrow. Really, thank you all. This will help everyone here so much. And tell your Command that the FoC are always welcome here. And is there anything else we can do for you?"

After getting back to camp she tells Whitney to begin the process of expanding to the southwest and that they will get some support from the clones. As this happens the eastern hescos has been cleared in preparation for the C-5 coming to camp. The Mi-28 soon leaves for the S.M.S Otto Heinstaz, to the West, with a Sparrow taking its place and touching down as the talks continue to happen close to the south of the camp.

Tav turns back towards the LAAT and yells "Alright men, start unloading those shuttles!" before he turns back and says "That will be all for now. Thank you." the ramps of the Nu shuttles open as the troopers from the LAAT begin the process of unloading. Tav takes the magazines and says "We should be able to make you guys some more ammo soon now." before he walks over to one of the shuttles to assist in the unloading process.

Still Waiting

Six guards station themselves near the drone as it hovers, silent and un-moving. They will continue to monitor it until the next day.

Readying

"Once again, thank you so much." Soon 25 people move to the south wall and begin the long process of taking out the sand out of the Hescos, with the Track loader brought by South Germany. The greeting party makes their way back to camp and RALH Whitney stands at attention ready to greet any clones. Now free, The Lone Wanderers get suited up, their bags ready and are ready to make another expedition in the now not so unknown world.

The clones quickly complete the task of unloading the shuttles, and begin the process of setting up the comm station as the Nu’s return to the Headway. Since this is not a labour intensive job, multiple clones spread out throughout the camp to interact with the inhabitants while Tav makes his way to the command center of Hesco to acquaint himself with the leaders of the camp.
