*Advice for those who do not know the Overlord story line. It is an ongoing Japanese light novel series and I can say with confidence you will either dislike this or be completely lost/confused by many of the stories aspects. I suggest reading at least some summaries of it to get what is going on. If you are aware of Overlord you'll get where this is going, probably. Glory to Ainz Ooal Gown!**Teen for now, probably will change to M*

Ainz Ooal Gown, the Overlord of Death, supreme ruler of Nazarick, and Sorcerer king of all New Gaia walked into the main office of the space research division headquarters. "My lord!? What are you doing here!?" Shouted his chief engineer as the entire room ground to a halt, a deathly silence taking the place of the normal sounds of work.

"Pay it no mind, I have simply decided to come see our advancements. I have great anticipation for when we pierce the veil." He replied with a noble wave of his hand.

"Of course my lord! It is just that you will usually schedule ahead, and with the new colonies I thought you would be unable to pay us a visit for some time. " The elf replied to her now sitting liege, all but ignoring the two maids who fell in behind the overlord.

"Ah, well, things seem to be progressing smoothly on that front. Icarus seems to be able to handle her assigned tasks very well at the moment. I was able to spare a few days and wished to truly spend time at home." He stated, his stoic appearance and voice not giving away any of his thoughts. 'almost 800 years and I still try to run from my work' he thought wryly.

"I see my lord. Well, we can say that your previous query into the function of gates and mana pools would produce some interesting results. But, I have handed it off to the ship masters because of the limitations it provided." She stated. "I can safely say that our propulsion and power plant research is on track, if not a little bit further along due to the one you sent to help us earlier. Our main FTL research has ground to halt unfortunately. However, that should change when our current missions provide feedback." The elf stated, hoping that her lord was pleased.

"That is good to hear Aushula, I do believe you have earned a reward for you hard effort the last couple of decades. Our space program could not have gotten as far as it has without you." He responded to the now flustered and wide eyed elf before him. "If there is something you wish for please let me know, you have truly earned it."

As she gathered up the last vestiges of strength in her, Aushula replied "Of course my lord! I will do as you command!" The elf responded with a quaking voice.

"Is that so? Very well, I will be off, there are a few things I want to do before I return to work. If there is any major development let me know immediately." And with that death itself left the room in a majestic flurry of cloth. Outside the colossal but otherwise unassuming structure many thoughts ran through his head. 'Ah, how could it have come to this? She seemed to want to hide from me.' However, his thoughts were very different from the ones bursting out of a certain elf.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I have finally gained his attention!" A clouded eyed but obviously ecstatic female elf whispered to herself. "Huh? Why is it so quite? Oi! Get back to work! We must prove our worth to our lord!" She nearly screamed to the still frozen workers. "Ahhh!" With an energetic shout the normal hustle returned at an improved pace. "Just you wait my lord! I will join you in Nazarick!" She whispered to herself once again as she returned to her office. In dire need of stress relief, she entered the room, locked the door, and let her mind wander. Thoughts of a certain Skeleton Lord filling her mind. Pure ecstasy written across her clouded eyes and moist lips. Her office was thankfully soundproofed in its construction, so the staff were not distracted by the sounds of the room's occupant for several hours.

*In deep space*

Carysu Shulu looked out into the vastness of space. A peaceful look on his scaled face. "Sir, we will be entering sensory range in a few minutes, all systems appear nominal."

"Thank you Sibr, that will be all for now. Send Drang up when you get a chance, I need him to take the helm, and please report to me if there's anything important."

"Yes sir." The tigress demi human stated before departing from the bridge, leaving a white lizard man to his thoughts.

'She is quite the second in command, not to mention pleasing to the eyes. Perhaps I should ask her out when we are done this assignment? No matter, I cannot let this effect my judgment, lest I shame my ancestors. Perhaps it is best if I retire for the night, we will be quite busy once we exist the veil'. With his thoughts calmed, the captain of the NSR Smaragdina laid down to sleep.

"Sir you must wake up! We have found something." An equally nervous and excited Sibr stated as she roused Carysu from his sleep.

"What is it?" he replied trying to get the last traces of sleep from his system.

"When we left the edge of the veil a few hours ago I decided to let you keep resting, as there was nothing of interest going on and the scientists were busy. But about 29 minutes ago our proximity alarm started going off. We of course thought this was just an asteroid, so we decided to approach it to get samples, but once we got in visual range we noticed that it was an artificial structure!" The captain took a few moments to process the information given to him, finally realizing what it meant.

"Get a link up with someone from New Gaia! Get every scientist and engineer on this ship to the bridge in the next ten minutes! Also, get whatever security detail we have ready to fight! Any weapon that we can use should be ready! And get things set up for a ship wide alert notification!" he bellowed to his frantic subordinates. Within a few minutes he had donned modified armor that could go into space, the magic in his armor causing fiery tingles to arc across his back and scales.

*On the Bridge*

Carysu cleared his throat, getting the attention of every being on the ship. "As you may or may not know, we have come across an object that is not of New Gaia design. This means we may be in a first contact situation. Everyone must be on their best behavior and alert for any important signs. I do not want first contact marred by idiocy. Reassignments and change of detail will be sent out soon. If you are not currently busy get as much rest and food as possible because we will not have time for it soon. That is all."

With that he turned off the intercom system and looked out towards the large object before the Smaragdina, taking note of its peculiar two pronged shape. "If you have any information about the situation give it at the end of the brief. No one is to come in contact with the structure without my say so. Also, any people or ships that depart our vessel to get closer for investigation is to maintain a physical tether with the ship. Security will be either stationed at important parts of the ship or in the hanger with what little offensive weaponry we have. If anyone so much as waves their gun at a new contact without my say so you will learn why Kyouhukou is feared so much. Scientist and engineer teams will split into groups of no less than three, also make sure that the teams have a diversity in their training. If you have a request for research send it to me. Now start moving."

"Sir there is something we need to report." One of the engineers said. With a nod he was allowed to continue. "It appears some of the material we have been collecting and studying is reacting with the structure, but we have no clue what the effects will be."

Carysu thought on this for a moment before replying "Keep an eye on it for now, if it doesn't appear to be dangerous we will ignore it for now. I'm afraid there is little else we can do at this time." With that all of the crew and researchers aboard the ship scurried about their new duties, trying to learn more about the structure.

*Time skip*

Carysu was once again on the bridge, reading over a report on the scientists' findings. Even with what little they knew at the time, he realized just how big this was. They were able to determine that the structure was uninhabited, and apparently dormant. He looked up and saw a shuttle approaching the structure, a long cable connecting it to the Smaragdina. "That should be the last series of tests they wanted sir, then we will head back to New Gaia. We still can't connect anyone through visual means, there is too much interference, but we have gotten some messages through informing them about our situation." His second in command stated from behind him.

"Good, I do not want anything going wrong so late into this." Yet fate seemed to once again play havoc with their plans, because just after stating that a white light started to appear from the inner region of the structure. "Great, just great." An exacerbated Carysu stated before a flash of white light shot forth from the structure connecting with the small research vessel, before drawing it, and the still attached Smaragdina. Into the unknown.
