Dr Uru'Nav Xant has been interviewing his human Subject Jasmine, conducting interviews as a means of first contact. During these interviews, it is revealed that humans have the ability to produce 'Frequencies', invisible electronic signals that broadcast thought, emotions and willpower. These Frequencies, however, can be very harmful to certain kinds of aliens, especially at the levels humans are able to produce. Xant does his best to keep the human calm, but her irregular emotions force him to self-medicate against regulation.

Jasmine was not the only creature of Earth that found its way aboard Ulessia Station, three dogs were under the alien's care. when one of these dogs crosses paths with Jasmine she becomes very protective of the golden retriever and unwittingly unleashed a powerful 'Freq-blast'. After the incident, Jasmine is put through a series of tests so that she may apply for citizenship in Galactic Council space.

Executive Director Laandi attempts to speak with Jasmine about the genetic diversity of herself and the Dogs but only manages to further alienate the human. Jasmine promises to help where she can but is put on edge after the meeting. She is assigned to be under the watch of Captain Rynard, the hulking saurian ex-solider and only xeno not to treat her like a specimen.

After her reunion with Xant, Jasmine is overjoyed to learn that Sieglinde, the golden retriever, will be given a translator of her own. but this monumental revelation is cut short when another Doctor is caught mistreating one of the other dogs.

Jasmine chastised the offending Doctor, unwittingly causing extreme injury with her 'Freq-pulses'. Despite the entire station being on edge, Laandi and Xant do their best to explain the situation and de-escalate the volatile human. Unfortunately, the following conversation reveals the horrific fate of those abducted by the Galactic Councils enemy, The Rajava. While Jasmine may have escaped this fate, it is a certainty that those abducted with her did not.

The violent outcry is enough to paralyze the station and put into question Jasmine's citizenship. Xant tries one more time to converse with Jasmine and is confronted, not with despair or anger, but a declaration of hope and determination.

Xant decides to do everything in his power to help Jasmine on her journey.

However, Jasmine's powers were growing as her body adjusted to the translator and they are substantially more then what the researcher staff can accommodate and control, especially without a. There is even a disastrous attempt to contain jasmine as much as possible but it turned out to be wholly unnecessary. Lieutenant Commander Tar Nako, an arvas military unit and Jasmine’s benefactor was returning to the station to collect the spoils of his campaign. Namely the treasure trove of DNA and information from the Rajavan ship. He had stumbled upon pirates scavenging the genestealer ship’s corpse and managed to capture the Rajavan ship in turn. He was most excited to meet the human ‘maiden’ and was most unimpressed at her treatment.

It was obvious to everyone the human was better off in the care of the more robust Military units who would be able to handle her freq. But xant, a citizen model would not be able to follow, he convinced Jasmine, Nako and the members of Essander to complete the Citizen application and the various tests required.

During one of the Frequncy tests, Jasmine suffered a seizure, Xant rushed in to help and while joining to bring her out of it, fell into a coma himself. Upon awakening three days later he discovered that the freq pulse had repaired and had completely altered his neural pathways. Xant now had his own inner voice to contend with.

Nako and Laandi negotiated for the transfer of the dogs and the comatose Jasmine, to the military station locally known as ‘Branch’ the largest station in the quadrant and closest to reclamation space. Xant, desperate to not be separated from the human asks Rynard to help him with his plan to wake Jasmine up.

The captain, having reenlisted with the Lieutenant's Crew, but only to help Jasmine, agrees with the plan because things are far more interesting when she is awake.

Xant was able to join with Jasmine once more and wakes her from an alternate reality state.

While her waking up is good, the test revealed that humans cannot travel faster than light or jump through space.

Jasmine, after much thought, decides to go with nako to Branch but only if her entourage can come with her. She rebrands herself ‘The Namegiver’ and protector of the Dogs.

Jasmine is put into status to make the journey to Branch with Xant and Rynard watching over her.

Meanwhile…

Not all the cargo from the Rajavan ship was sent to Esaander, Kotorn, Knight commander had ordered Nako to auction off whatever he could to recoup costs from the acquisition. Some of that cargo was more humans.

Itsuki and Beau awaken in captivity, treated as less than animals the pair, naked and with a language barrier, break out of their cell and begin to make their escape from the alien station.

They learn about many horrors on their attempt, the station was organic, and there were vast cloning facilities experimenting with humans and alien DNA. They also learn a little bit about each other, gaining camaraderie as they continued to slip out of their captor's hands, destroying what they could in the process.

They fended off a surge of guards, only to be knocked down and captured, paralysed to be experimented on.

Itsuki was the unlucky one on the end of a scalpel, the freq pulse he unleashed as he was linked to a translator was so strong it crippled the station. This mental health had been worsening under the stress and lack of care.

Beau was able to free himself and stabilize the pair of them, before they both wreaked havoc on whoever was left standing…

Jasmine had a much smoother transition, upon arriving at Branch she was treated as a special guest, gaining privileges in exchange for information. Her ‘job’ was to identify the thousands of human artifacts found inside the bowels of the Rajavan ship, against all odds, she was reunited with her friend's car and all her belongings. She was even able to convince them to let her stay upon the super yacht they had in storage, to give her adequate time to prepare for intergalactic negotiations.

Nako was getting worried, Kotorn was heavily against keeping the human and her paraphernalia on his station was was prepared to remove Nako as well, sending him on a request mission so he wasn't available when the Counciler arrived.

That mission brought him in contact with Itsuki and Beau, the pair were a formidable force and it was only by a ‘hallelujah’ that diplomacy was reached.

Nako convinced the pair to come with him, and be reunited with another human, the pair agreed but were still sceptical. Travelling to Branch gave Itsuki a massive headache but Beau, without a translator was unaffected.

The meeting was intense, Jasmine was overjoyed to see another human being alive and Beau was reunited with his partner Spades, but Itsuki was confrontational.

His mental health, trauma from surgery, anger at Jasmine’s friendliness with the ‘enemy’ and jealousy of her and Beaus’ immediate understanding of each other caused a meltdown. The pair argued, escalating as the Translator projected Itsuki’s psychosis out in the open, a new and terrifying Freq power.

Once the dust was settled the group was able to calmly discuss what they wanted to do, how they were going to negotiate with the universe at large and, more importantly, what their power armour was going to look like.

Itsuki’s translator was tweaked, Beau gained a translator in his suit, and Xant was dealing with his own Frequency quirks. He had been having nightmares since Jasmine and his last joining, his personality starting to compare more to the humans than his alien contemporaries.

Nako, while on the knight commanders' shit list, was preparing for Kotorns downfall and the arrival of an Arvas Praetor to arrive on Branch….
