Conclusion to the Sketchian war
============================================================================================
Admiral Kalinin, now interim head of state, stood in the grand hall, one of the few great structures in Sketch left unscathed by the withering coalition attacks during the war. Across from him stood the enemy. The Kaeneians were positioned on the other side of the central table, along with a handful of their allies. Humanoid in physical appearance, it was less unnerving for the rest of the Sketchian party to deal with than it would have been had the damned machines or other aliens been present in similar numbers. It was more of a polite gesture than anything else; Sketchian people had never dealt well with xenoforms, insisting that humanity was the pinnacle of natural development and all else was an abomination.
Behind him, Kalinin could hear the other state dignitaries and otherwise important people whispering amongst themselves. No doubt dicussing the matter at hand, or evening questioning his authority as interim leader. During the final hours of fighting, as the enemy pressed inexorable inward towards the heart of Sketch, Das Sketch had gone inexplicable missing. There were theories ranging from abandonement to assassination to wrong place wrong time. Realizing that the governemnt was now leaderless, Kalinin used his priveldge as ranking military leader to enact martial law and completely take over Sketch. Of course, it wouldn't have been possible without the cooperation of Director of Intelligence and the Cheif of Central Management. As one of his first acts, Kalinin had initiated contact and sued for an armistice. Now, here today, the war ends.
As if with some undetectable signal, the hushed whispers fell silent. Kalinin strode foward and lifted the document off the table. It was a large piece of work, scribbed in the old language and on an ancient material called paper. In a gesture that was more ceremonial than anything else, Kalinin begins to read the document outloud.

It hurt, the feeling of loss welled up inside Kalinin, as it no doubt was crushing the rest of the Sketchian officials. The pain of reading the document was not lessened by foreknowledge of the terms contained within. Even with wounded pride, formalities must be adhered to and Kalinin continued the signing ceremony. He places the document back on the table and raises the seal of Sketch before him:
I, Gregori Kalinin, Consoul of Sketch, with the power and authority of the state do hereby accept this Treaty of Honoured Blood on the behalf of the state of Sketch. To this treaty I affix the seal of the state and so it shall be honored in full without guile or subterfuge by all of Sketch.
Kalinin, finished, sets the seal back on the table and waits for the Kaenieans to acknowledge the signing.
============================================================================================
Due to the rather large time gap inbetween the dissolution of the Sketchian war thread and this conclusion, it has been agreed upon that the occupation provisions of the treaty have long since expired.
