Summon

The Scalqa's iconic smell invaded Monica's nostrils as soon as she exited the ship. The battalion was still arranged into a battle formation, but the tension it exuded had intensified by many levels.

Monica's nose twitched, but she refrained herself from scratching it. She had never liked the Scalqa's smell, and that battalion had spent a prolonged period inside the Leviathan. Monica was also unaffected by those imposing, muscular figures, mentally labeling them as alien, but the Scalqa still had her affection. One had given his life to save Khan, so she accepted them.

Instead, the Thilku were different, and crossing the lines of alien soldiers put Monica before details she hated.

A circular ship had landed on the crowd's left side, releasing a team of stern Thilku. Anyone could see that those aliens weren't playing around and that their visit wasn't out of pleasure. Lord Rsi was also in their lead, adding weight to the situation's seriousness.
