Ripley was brought back to the Ark Maxim where she was introduced to Ashwin, Medea and the rest of the crew.
Each of them was surprised that Bunbun was able to bring back a potential ally so soon.
What surprised them the most was the giant size of Ripley which was just as big as those belonging to the giants of Elbaf.
Ripley was around 33' 3" tall which was considered to be quite average among the giants of Elbaf while she was bigger than some of the smaller giants.
It caused those who met her to believe that those among her tribe were similar in size to her but Ripley quickly corrected them.
It could be said that Ripley was unique among those of her species and that she was the only one to grow so big.
Those of her tribe varied in size but like most that existed on the same planet as those belonging to the White Storm, most of them were somewhere between 4' and 15' tall once fully grown.
Ripley had a rather rapid growth since birth and she eventually outgrew everyone else when she was still just a young child.
It was a unique trait that only appeared now and again within those of their race while it did not appear very often.
Those similar to her rarely had more than one show up in every one hundred years or so.
Upon learning about the history of such a species and how unique Ripley was, it was quite clear that they had gained quite a unique and capable ally.
If there was any trait that made Ripley similar to any others who underwent a similar process or only had such an ability appear once every so often then it would have to be similar to Podeiden on their world.
Medea, Bunbun, and Ashwin once heard Alyssia talk about some unique bloodlines or Lineage Factors that had been passed down in some tribes or family lines which were very rare and special yet they were quite rare.
She did not go into detail about Poseiden or other existing things that involved bigger secrets of the world that could bring trouble if people found out so she had to be careful with mentioning some things related to the void history or the Ancient Weapons.
Ripley boarded her ship which was much larger that was able to fit her inside leaving little room for others.
It was the type of spaceship that was designed to not have a lot of things inside besides the basics compared to many others.
When they set off together, the ship of Ripley looked far bigger than the Ark Maxim which held so many people and Automata inside of it.
Ripley knew of the rough coordinates where her mercenary group had last contacted her before they were attacked so she took the lead.
Meanwhile, in another location very far away, there was a vast space with rocky debris floating around and there was a planet far off in the distance.
It seemed peaceful on the surface but it was anything but that.
What was hidden beneath such a scene was the concealed ships that were gathered in a large number.
The large fleet of ships belonged to the Camo Pirates who had recently attacked a small group of ships belonging to the Ripper Mercenaries.
Their ships were very advanced as Ripley mentioned and it was not just concealing themselves that they were able to achieve.
The ships and their bodysuits had built-in technology that let them blend in with their surroundings similar to the suits Alyssia had made that were inspired by the Germa 66 suits.
The main reason why the Ripper Mercenaries and many others would suffer losses at the hands of the Camo Pirates was that their concealment was difficult to notice until they decided to show themselves.
Someone could be travelling in space without detecting anything strange nearby but would suddenly be under attack from the ships that had been concealed.
Inside the ships were a wide variety of different alien races who were not a specific type of species.
The only thing they all had in common was the matching bodysuits that they wore over their bodies.
Some had faces similar to squids while some others had appearances similar to insects and other alien races.
The Camo Pirates originally started as scavengers and thieves.
They pillaged what they could from others and that was how they were able to get to where they were.
They were not the smartest bunch but they were ruthless and deceptive in their tactics.
If there was a way to play dirty then they would use it to win against their opponents.
That allowed them to be successful in what they did and they eventually looted anything that was within reach even if it was ships and technology of others.
If it helped them increase their power and wealth then anything of value could become their target and that included the invisibility technology they used in the present.
It was just one among many things they had that was taken from others.
There was little that they had that was not stolen from others or gained from all of the suffering of others.
Their latest conquest was the many parts of the ships and the contents of them that had been stripped from the Ripper Mercenaries.
Anything of value was taken away and that included the members of the crew who would be sold as slaves.
There was a holding cell deep inside of the ships and one of them was holding someone who was chained to the wall.
It was a canine of the same race as Ripley and she was the second in command of the Riper Mercenaries.
