A Trip to Klonor

23-11-2003, 07:17
The new Ruler of Arbra, Kelly Robinson, was finishing packing. She had ordered her Royal Guard not to come with her. She was going to do everything in her power to show the Klonor Empire that Arbra was serious on the count of an alliance. The last Ruler of Arbra had declared an alliance with Klonor by the Gallactic Alliance, and then turned on Klonor, nearly decimating the Klonor fleet. However, the Klonor fleet and troops overcame the Arbran rivals and conquered the people of Arbra for several years. Now, Kelly Robinson had taken the throne, and was dedicated to forming and maintaining an alliance with Klonor.

Kelly was packed, and was sitting in the docking bay in Harta. The docking bay was located below the Royal Center, one of the tallest structures in Harta. She was awaiting the arrival of an Orion destroyer, which would take her to Deneb, where she would finally get a chance to meet the Duke of Klonor, and see the planet she had heard so much about for so long.

With a flash of blue and a visible ripple in space the GDD Galatea, Flagship of the 2'nd Fleet, burst into realspace over Arbra.

"Attention Arbra, this is the GDD Galatea. We have been dispatched to escort Kelly Robinson to the Deneb system for diplomatic negotiations. Please respond with pick up time and a passenger list."
23-11-2003, 07:23
"GDD Galatea, this is Arbra Space Command. You are reading clear and we have all forward go. Passenger list is one, and one only. She is ready to board at your will."

"Docking Bay 1 is open, and ready. We're awaiting your arrival."

(ship flies into sky, ship lands, people leave)

"Greeting Kelly Robinson, I am Captain Lorens. I'd like to personally welcome you abord the Galatea, and shall escort you to your quarters. We will be entering Sub-Space for the trip to Deneb in approximately 13 minutes. Until then, I'm available for whatever you need."
23-11-2003, 07:33
"Thank you, Captain. I am sure my stay on your beautiful ship will be a great one. I almost cannot wait until I am at Deneb. From what I have heard, it is one of the greatest planets in the universe. So tell me, Captain, what all have you and your men been up to lately?"

"Oh, there was an attempted revolution by General Salm, but the Duke managed to out-do him. We're basically back to normally now, except for some tensions with Dying Camels. It seems they didn't know the general had been arrested and executed and they attempted to do it for us. Thankfully we managed to deal with it before any lives were lost."

An aid walks up to him, handing him a computer pad before moving on.

"Ah, the map is here. I asked the navigator to compile a display of the Deneb system for your convenience. You may have a look."

OOC: Complex, isn't it
23-11-2003, 23:24
"I see. And where exactly is Deneb in this system? Arbra is only a single planet, and one thing I have planned to discuss with the Duke is the possiblity of Arbra expanding throughout the universe." Kelly stumbled as the Orion destroyer jolted in sub-space.

"Deneb is the fifth panet from the double suns. The only other inhabited planet is the second, it has been sold to the nation of Lil miss. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be getting to the bridge."

He excuses himself, leaving an aid to see to Ms. Robinson's needs.
24-11-2003, 05:13
Kelly Robinson sat down in a chair, and noticed the aid the Captain had left. He stood at the door, at attention, not saying a word.

"So, when do you believe we will be arriving at Deneb, sir?"

"Let me check, ma'am."

He walks over and checks the computer, running through some quick mental calculations.

"We'll be finishing the sub-space trip in approximately 18 minutes, but the trip through real space will take another 10 minutes. After that, it will be a small shuttle ride down to the planet."

Abruptly, an alarm begins to blare throughout the ship.

(the thing causing the alarms will have no real effect on this RP, it's from another RP and I'm trying to keep them in the same universe)
24-11-2003, 06:04
Kelly jumped out of her seat. The alarm scared her, as she saw the young assistant stand straight. She also stood, scared of what had just happened.

"Are we under attack?" Kelly panically questioned.

After a quick check the aid answer to the negative.

"It seems that the nation of Guanyu has enroached on Klonor territory, colonising in one of Klonor's un-populated systems."

After another quick check

"There's a small conflict happening there, it's expected to be over in a few hours. It shouldn't effect us."

He turns away from the computer, ready if the kelly Robinson needs anything.

(like I said, wont be in this RP, but if this was real there'd be some sort of alert on a ship)
24-11-2003, 06:35
Kelly was still obviously stirred. She still often had nightmares of the horrors she had witnessed when she was younger- during the Arbran Defetion, or so it was known in Arbra. Ever since, she hated it when such times came up, such as this time of the alarm. Heck, she often jumped when her morning alarm went off at five in the morning every morning. She was ready to be at Deneb, where she hoped she could breathe easily again. Kelly sat in her chair, silenlty, waiting for the jump out of sub-space.

"If it will calm you down, we can't be attacked while in Sub-Space and the Deneb system is regarded as one of the most heavily defended systems in the known galaxy. We're perfectly safe."

There's a brief jolt as the Orion exist Sub-Space

"Welcome to Deneb"
24-11-2003, 06:49
Kelly breathes a sigh of relief. She was greatful for the Marine's comfort, and looked around. She felt much safer now, and was insurmountably happy that she had finally arrived at Deneb. It was just a few minutes, and she would be on the planet itself.

"Thank you, sir. Your aid has been much appreciated, and you will be commended before your Captain," said Kelly as she stood up from her seat. She stretched her arms, and sighed.

The captain re-appears at the door, gesturing the attendant ouside. They confer a bit, then the captain steps back in.

"We have arrived in the Deneb system and are moving to dock with the shipyards in orbit around Deneb. Would you like to accompany me to the shuttle bay?"
24-11-2003, 07:00
"I would be more than happy to, sir," Kelly said as she grabbed her bag and made her way towards the door. "Your attendant was very helpful. I commend him," Kelly said as she began to walk aside the Captain, looking at all of the people and equipment aboard the glorious ship.

"Yes, he always has been a good officer."

He glances sideways, making sure that looking is all she's doing (they're still not very trusting of the Arbrans)

"Here we are. Your shuttle is right over there. I hope you have a pleasant trip down."

He steps back as the shuttle door opends.
24-11-2003, 07:14
"I thank you for your hospitality, Captain. May you and your crew have a safe journey to wherever your travels may lead you," Kelly said as she made a slight head-bow towards the Captain. She stepped forward on to the shuttle, and the shuttle doors closed behind her. She sat down, as the shuttle departed and made its way down towards the planet of Deneb.

Her shuttle is met with all the pomp and celebration befitting the visitation of a head of state.

The band starts playing as Kelly exists, and then the fireworks go off. At the bottom of the exist ramp she is met by the Duke Klonor himself, flanked by innumerable minor functionaries.

"Welcome to Deneb, I trust your trip was pleasant?"
24-11-2003, 07:28
Kelly was surprised at the welcome she had received. She was sure she would be met with boos and yells of hatred. However, Kelly indulged in the whole spectacle of the event. She saw the Duke standing in front of her, which made Kelly brighten with joy.

"My ride was great, sir. Your crewmen are of the best, and I commend them on their acting. I am very happy to see that you have acepted me and my proposals, and am eager to see to it that our two great nations can gather in peace once again," Kelly said, as she embraced the Duke.

OOC: Okay, I get that I have good crewmen, but you're laying it on a bit thick

IC:

"We know that the past actions of Arbra, though horrible, are not the fault of you or your government. We hope that we can move past wrongs which have already been righted."

As they speak they're moving down the street towards the Vicegral Palace, flanked on all sides by cheering hordes and people waving Klonor flags.

"But I have to ask, why have you chosen to come to Deneb?"
25-11-2003, 06:14
Kelly walked along, and couldn't help but smile at all the attention.

"Well, sir, I believe the matters we are planning to discuss would be better suited for an indoor conversation, away from the troublesom media and the listening ears of all those surrounding," Kelly said as she walked along. She switched her bag to her other hand.

"Very wise. We'll be entering the palace soon, we can begin discussion then."

They then enter the palace (just trying to speed things up)
05-12-2003, 04:48
((Sorry...))

Kelly looked around the palace. It wasn't exactly what she was used to at home, but it would suffice.

"Where shall I place my bag?" Kelly asked. "If I can find my room, I can take care of a small bit of business, and we can commence these meetings."
Klonor
05-12-2003, 04:54
(When you didn't post in so long I thought you'd abandoned space again. I already left the negotiataions. Here's the post in the "Rampage at Ribos" thread which is the war on Bobaria)

The Duke Solomon Klonor, entering the palace with Arbran head of state Kelly Robinson, is instantly beset by messengers.

"Sir! We have a priority message Jimathon! It came in under the direct Sub-Space line!"

"****! I'm sorry Ms. Robinson, but this is an emergecny. if you'll excuse me."

He quickly hurries out of the room to the nearest com station.

"Jim, what the hell is going on?"

(I could have a diplomat take over for the Duke if you want)
05-12-2003, 05:08
((If we can still negotiate, that would be fine, if not, oh well. It was my fault for leaving Arbra for a bit.))
Klonor
05-12-2003, 05:10
(Sure we can still negotiate. It just wont be the Duke, and there will be a war going on at the same time)
05-12-2003, 05:17
Kelly, now in her room, was worried. The Duke had left so quickly, she had had no time to discuss anything. She had an uplink with Arbra, which was on a high state of alert, due to the Bobarian Crisis in Ribos. Kelly was worried- worried that something was soon going to happen to her planet, her people. Suddenly, there came a knock at the door. She opened it, and a Klonor diplomat was at the door.

"Ms. Robinson, I am here to carry out the negotiations, if you wish."

"Yes, thank you," said Kelly, as she walked out of her room, and began to follow the diplomat.
Klonor
05-12-2003, 05:29
They enter the traditional conference room. Long table, T.V.'s on all the walls, and lots of booze.

"We would like to discuss a treaty that would enable future trade relations between our two nations, as well as make any repeat of past transgressions impossible."

He then takes a large swig from a jug of whiskey. he never goes into negotiations sober
06-12-2003, 07:34
Kelly stared at the diplomat oddly. She didn't really drink herself, but occasionally would have a drink or two at a party or conference. The diplomat offered her a small drink, and, not wanting to seem offensive, politely took the drink from him. She slowly sipped on it, as she sat down at one end of the table.

"Sir, I have several propositions for your nation, as well as ours. The main subjects I wish to touch up on are:

Trade
Expansion
Military

I am quite eager to get started, as the conflict in Ribos is quite disturbing. On the first note, we, the people of Arbra, do wish to resolve our past differences. Upon my going back to my room for the night, and acceptance, we will be wiring $10,000,000,000,000 to Klonor."
Klonor
06-12-2003, 18:42
OOC You'll soon find that pretty much everybody in Klonor is an alcoholic. It's contributed to some hilarious RP's

IC:

"We will be glad to accept the monetary donation, but there still are some concerns in our government. We'd like to take steps to make sure that the past events to not happen again."

a few more sips

"We would like to place weaponry inhibitors on all your war vessels. These will interface with your targeting sensors to render your weapons inopperable if you target a Klonor vessel."
Klonor
07-12-2003, 03:40
An aide walks in, whispering to the diplomat before walking out again

"We have some good news. We have successfully defeated the Bobarian fleet, and their colony is currently evactuating to an out of system location. The Ribos system is your once again."
