A few hours pass, before long the ship approaches a massive wall of thick fog.... but it was too dark to be fog. Before the ships enter, a speedboat supplies the Necropolis warship with something interesting yet unusual. Gas masks?
The Jesian sailors put on the gas masks, and point at the crew, gesturing them to do the same. The crew put on the gas masks, and before long they realize what they were meant for. It wasn't fog... it was smog. Thick, dirty smog that felt suffocating even with the masks. The lights of both ships could barely penetrate far, and the shine of the sun was gone.
It was an hour later until light could be seen in the distance. Out on the sea, a massive shipwrecked cargo-ship, rusted and falling apart, had lights coming out from it. People were living on it! They were lighting small bonfires and working, walking around, spying on the passing ships. Then... in the distance, a small glow could be seen. The Jesian crew-members take off their gas masks, but to the Necroian crew couldn't handle the dirty air, so they left them on.
Then they saw it A city. Massive with towering skyscrapers that pierced the skies. The rough waves hitting against massive seawalls. Massive rusted ships pass by, larger than both ships. The hard and soft glows of the lights, amongst the dark sky.
The ships approached a dock. Massive concrete slabs, with other various rusty warships. People were everywhere. Eating, smoking, talking, sleeping, working. Everyone gave the foreigners a weird look. Some of them even had guns, but did not threaten the crew. It was extremely unusual. An entire mega-city, right here? Under the nose of the world? Where did they get all this technology, these ships, the steel and guns if there was no contact at all?
A crew member takes a picture
The Necroian ship docks and unloaded an expeditionary force of Necroians, donning weapons and armor they set foot into the new city and environment. "These masks are helpful, I'm not sure how they [the Jesians] can withstand this smog" "Yeah, this must be what it's like to live in a country with legal marijuana..." The Necroians are amazed by their surroundings The Captain, now sporting Necroian light power armor walks over to speak to the Jesian sailor that had been on the boat going to the Necroian ship. "Koko ni kite! Koko ni kite! Karera wa anata o matteimasu!" the sailor says with a smile, before leading the sailors to a concrete building
Inside is hot, there are sailors and workers everywhere, sitting on benches and talking, squatting in the corners and eating rice. The only thing keeping the entire building cool is a single fan spinning "Matte, shirei-kan o mukae ni iku!" the sailor says before going into another room Everyone is staring at the foreigners, whispering to each-other and giving certain dirty looks Inside the other room, yelling can be heard. It's an argument, and an intense one as well. The captain doesn't need to understand the language to know what lecturing sounds like. The door opens before familiar words can be heard "The uh.... captain of foreign... inside room please."

The Captain nods at the watching Necroians and walks towards the room The room goes silent as both parties watch the Captain enter the room, the only sound that can be heard is the humming of the fan, and the footsteps of the Captain The Captain opens the door to the room, before closing it behind him... |

"Ah.... hello.... foreigner captain..... my name is Shiro. Nicu to meet." "Hello.... I am 23334" "You met one of my ship.... fortunate for you they are led by nice man." The captain nods "You know this place?"
"No.... I'm not even sure how we didn't even notice it until now... hey... how are you speaking my language?" Shiro pulls out something from his desk. He pulls out a dictionary "Finds like this... not uncommon. Many other language too. We pull out what find in ocean, what find in cargo ship. Pirates are criminals, but have been needed for long time to bring stuff back. Not only book, but technology and blueprint. New resource and information. They are criminal because they leave Jesia..." "They leave... this place? It's not the pirating that gets them in trouble?"
"That too... but before, it was order from Emperor to not leave Jesia. They ignore it, and bring back the treasures we so desire. Time have changed. New Emperor want open again. That is why they bring you here. If it was before times... you be blown up" Shiro stands up and walks to a Jesian flag in the room "Jesia not open all the way... Emperor want to change that. I do not understand... but I obey the words of the mighty." he says, before turning back at the captain, "you are foreigner. There are rule in Jesia. Obey Emperor. Do not dishonor us. Most important rule of all... do not dishonor the Emperor... or else all of Jesia be enemy." Shiro then walks back to the door and opens it "Go to city if you like, but I not suggest. Dangerous. Go back to home... maybe bring your leaders back to here? Emperor would probably like...."

"Noted, our forces will split, one will take a ship back to our mainland, the others, including myself will stay here" The Captain says The Captain repeats the bow seen before, and turns to leave "Ah, I almost forgot, are there any dictionaries for your language?" Meanwhile... The Necroians nervously wait outside of the room trying to ignore the stares of the Jesians in the room. |

Meanwhile... The Necroians nervously wait outside of the room trying to ignore the stares of the Jesians in the room. Shiro hands the captain a notebook, within it is some Jesian words translated "Our language... to complicated to learn fast. Some word for you to understand. I prepare this in case, I have many other book like this"
Outside, the captain relays the orders to the crew The ship, escorted by a Jesian cruiser, parts way The rest, prepare to enter the city known as 'Shihon'

The sailors walk through the city. The city was dirty, and passerby's walked around the sidewalk as unusual cars drove by. The sprinkle of rain dropped onto the concrete, and vendors brought out their goods to sell. A strange assortment of scrap and food, interesting gadgets and trinkets. A mysterious unusual place, it felt rough but was starting to make sense more by more. The Captain begins writing down what he's seeing, looking around at every corner. The people are either distrustful or rude, but never hostile. Some even show friendliness. The Captain remembered the rules he was given... the Emperor? Who is this Emperor? Is he the leader of this place? Why was this place closed off? It felt like he walked for miles yet the city went on forever. There was never ending skyline of buildings and lights. He started to feel a little sick, maybe it was the dirty air... maybe it was the food? Unusual place... he will have to return once again another day to learn more
