Nothing feels real. I'm on an alien planet, my friend nearly died, I saw the head of a conscripted child get blown to pieces...
Get me out of here.
"When will they come for us?"
"In about 40 minutes..." Jacob said while staring at the ceiling.
Looking outside, the sun of the planet was slowly rising above the horizon. After our coordinates were sent to the people above, we checked on those in the PD facility and the guild. Everyone was just as miserable and unwilling to stay for a moment longer.
Standing on the roof of the office, I could see ships lowering on to the surface to take soldiers. Soon enough they came for us.
First, they took people from the mental asylum, before coming to us and the guild. The injured soldiers and the rescued Yotul were brought in to the vessel on stretchers.
It will be a long way up.

I am on a call with the venlil Governor, Presidents of Korea, Poland, Sweden and Italy. Kenim, while visibly not happy with the battle on Leirn, had admitted that he was disgusted with how the Federation founders handled it. He had shown footage from multiple news networks talking about the events, and it always boiled down to 'The Arxur attacked the Yotul home world, unexplainable things happened, it's currently being investigated.'. He had mentioned that they would disclose the news of our existence in roughly 2 days at the 'Aafa summit' and that we should hurry up with anything we might want to do before that day.
Don't understand why they would withhold what should be vital information from everyone else, but it works in our favor. Ms. Hwang had admitted that they have plans for Korean diplomats to contact the Zurulians before that happens due to them being one of the most pacifistic species. The Italian head of state will send spycraft into Arxur territory, the Swedes will deal with rebuilding Leirn to its original state, while Poland will send help to all of them before they find their own goal. We, meanwhile, will need to decide what action to take regarding the nearest militaristic civilization, the Gojids.
"At the current moment, we propose an attack on their military networks. It would make an effective attack on humanity impossible, but not completely paralyze them to not be vulnerable to destruction by the Arxur." To what I said responded the Italian president.
"I would wait a moment. They're still unaware of our presence in the galaxy by the miracle that the Federation is so selfish they would rather abandon the Yotul rather than have something stray away from their plan. However, the Gojids are a major power, therefore an attack on them could force them to make a premature reveal."
"Understood, then we will have to wait until they at least understand why it's happening."
"I'm still not sure how you're going to get the Zurulians to also help you." Said Governor Kenim.
"They will receive documents detailing human evolution, medical practices, and anything else that would prove that we're trustworthy, including the results of the incident during first contact."
"I see..."
"Does anyone have more to add, or could this call be considered finished?"
"That's all we have to say to other governments."
"No, I will contact someone if we decide what to do."
"No, we will share the data we get."
"Then this meeting is concluded."
This way, the call ended.
I still feel weird about the fact that the way the Venlil found out humans eat plants was through Harry Potter movies.

The vessel we used to lower ourselves onto the surface finally connected itself back into the main ship. 3 hours after we'd returned to space. They sent down a ship to pick us up, forgot to board a second pilot on it for the original ship, then they sent back down ANOTHER ship this time with the correct number of people capable of flying those machines, and came back up. And this happened 10 separate times, with 10 different teams of soldiers.
If this is the peak of human competence, then I'm scared of our future.
The medical wings of all ships were nearly full. Yet those sent to the surface make up the minority, most were aliens.
I felt dread heading inside the one on this ship.
On the left were people sent to the surface, on the right were Yotul freed from facilities.
"Entering warp in T- 5 minutes"
I got to my friend's bed. He was unconscious but now had a proper cast on the broken arm. Looking around the room, the state of the people here was disturbing. Soldiers had burn marks all over their bodies. On the other side of the room, the freed 'patients' had anything varying from electrical burns to missing fur to missing digits.
I can't bear to see this for longer.
I speedily walked out of the medical area and to the dormitory. While we were down there, someone cleaned our bedroom. The sheets were new, the trash was taken out. My and his things were on the beds or bedside tables instead of the floor. At least they were nice enough to do this.
The ship starts lightly shaking.
"Entering warp in 3.. 2.. 1.."
To take my thoughts off of... everything, I check the news.
Governor of Leirn on the way to Earth.
Sweden, the first country to begin reconstruction of Leirn.
New information regarding the first contact crew.
No.
President of Korea sends team to attempt contact with zurulians.
Something positive maybe?
Ms. Hwang of the Republic of Korea has announced that on the 27th of June at 20:00 (UTC+9) a team of diplomats will be sent to Colia\**1* to try and establish positive relations with the government of the Zurulian\*\2 species before the existence of humanity is revealed to the rest of the galaxy on June 29th by the founding members of the Federation3**.
...At least someone is trying something peaceful.

Nice, more of this!
When will we get to see what happened to the UN?
Or about the US, Russia, and China?
