"These glasses overlay information that our computers send you on top of regular vision.  They don't actually shade by the way.  You've get images of the ship's outline as you fly by, and will show a marker where you should let go of the phone."Apollo and Star go through the airlock, and the plane opens up.  They fly rapidly towards the ship, finding that they are equal in speed to each other, and break the sound barrier basically simultaneously.  Meanwhile, on the plane, Jacobson says "Oh, crap, they're scanning us.  How'd they find us..."Apollo lets go of the device as they pass, and the chute opens up.  It lands safely on the deck, but not before two rockets are fired from the ship, trailing them. They are fast enough to avoid the rockets when full moving though.  Star will have no problem shooting them down.Meanwhile, Jacobson uses the plane's comm system to call the phone.  Someone answers and says in Greek (Viridian understands it directly, but the computer subtitles it on the fly) "I am not authorized to talk to you, whoever you are.  I will bring the phone to my boss."Suddenly one of the monitors used for communication with the Trust shows an incoming communication.  Jacobson comments "Strange, he's using one of the protocols left over from the alien technology this plane is based on."An image shows on the screen.  First it is Voderac, but then it morphs into someone else who looks slightly different.Voderac bows, and says "Hail, Geldaran craft.  Your loyal servant, Lord Ares the Strifesower, exiled ruler of Taranas, formerly Aren of Pax, now the human Anatole Voderac, welcomes you to this planet.  I have been diligently collecting the data you requested over 21 years ago, even though your arrival is 20 years late."Viridian recognizes the new image from drawings she's seen (yay knowledge checks).  She's pretty sure thats not AN Ares.  That's THE Ares.</blockquote>
