Contact with Neo-Mekanta Possible? (Communications Thread - Very Open)

Neo-Mekanta
26-10-2004, 01:00
-Background
Previously, establishing contact with Neo-Mekanta has been hazardous and difficult. Usually it was a matter of wandering around Neo-Mekantan stomping grounds until they found you and pleading for them not to attack. You usually had about five minutes to make your point on why they shouldn't blast you.

Now that Minagoroshi is in control, it's much easier. It's being circulated around various public networks, discreetly of course, that Minagoroshi is allowing contact to be made where the Gorugathka star system, a location that is public knowlage, used to be.

There, should a ship broadcast peaceful intentions, Minagoroshi will establish contact. it is important not to behave agressively and in a violent manner, even if her nanites surround you or form warships...

Primative (Modern Tech) nations wishing to contact Minagoroshi will find a website at THIS LINK where a request for transport can be found.


-OOC-
Future Techers - If you want to make contact with Neo-Mekanta, just send a ship to Gorugathka and try not to piss off the star system destroying nanite weapon.

Modern Techers - Post a message as normal, and a Neo-Mekantan ship (actually Minagoroshi nanites in the form of a ship) will come to pick you up.


EDIT: And no, that's not a real link.

An Imperial transporet hovered near the dead territories of Neo-Mekanta.
"We are agents of the Chronosian Imperium; member of the Galactic Empire. We come to make negotiations and peaceful declarations to your kind. We mean you no harm and are unarmed. We wish to make contact"

Tarenteor glared at the report of the outpost destruction, before pulling another report from his desk. He stalked off to the Hangar.

The Sallah-class gunship was alone, with merely 30 occupants. Of those thirty, 3 knew what they were doing here. Tarenteor, and his sisters Sallah and Kassa. The ship slowed, and sent a hailing message into the Gorugathka system.

Loose nanites hanging throughout Gorugathka begin bunching together near the ship, more and more joining them until a menacing looking black cloud surrounded the vessel.

It churned violently, not comming too close as it scanned the ship and the people on it again and again before it seemed to calm down.

A female voice replied.

Stand down all defenses and accept an Avatar of Minagoroshi for discussion...

Unlike with the Chronosians, Minagoroshi responded immediately. Not a single nanite appeared, but it was more than likely they were present.

You are of Jangle Jangle Ridge? Then you are likely here regarding the station that was consumed. I appologize for those that were lost. On thier minds, however, was dislike of the Germanische Zustande... Does all of your nation hold such dislike for them? Would it rest you to know that which we gained from those we did not know were of you will go towards the destruction of the UFGZ?

As with Chronosia, a nanite cloud grew around the ECF vessel, scanning it relentlessly before a bright flash filled the bridge, and an avatar of Minagoroshi formed.

The naked female form, looking perfectly human and lacking even the markings of a Mekantan, looked squarely at the captain. "Speak."

As with ECF, a bright flash filled the room and another Avatar of Minagoroshi appeared.

"State your business, so that we may discuss it." The Avatar said in a soft, calm voice.
Jangle Jangle Ridge
26-10-2004, 01:20
Tarenteor gave a quirky smile at the voice, before replying, "Most of us. At least, I should hope that my people agree with me on the point that those who attack us should die slow, painful deaths. We are also glad to hear what you intend with the technology. Should you want it, we are willing to offer some technology. Certainly, nothing too powerful, but some of our unique weapons and shielding. A chance for good relations with a powerful entity such as you is not something I would scoff at. Also, I can appreciate the method by which you gained power. I came to office in much the same fashion."

Drop your shields so I may send an Avatar to discuss this. Do not fear, I have no intention of hostility unless it is shown to me first...

The Captain looked surprised and stood up " We have heard a great deal about your fight agnist the GZ. We are willing to help in your quest to stop them. We also wish to from an alliance. BEtween our 2 peoples. I am sure we can find a way to better both our empires if we ally. However do ask that you delay the war until a very large Battleship being built in the GZ is being bulit for the ECF. It we delare a war we could use it agnist them.
I can give you several reasons to hold off the war until comletion.
1. I can destory his shipyards and capture his command staff during the the time when we recieve the ship.
2. It would give us time to create a larger plan and fleet.
I urge you to wait. And from an Alliance with us, for the good of both our people.

As with the other examples, the Minagoroshi avatar appeared on the bridge in a flash, (pardon the pun) completely naked.

"This deal you speak of intrigues me..."


-To Chronosia

"I do not understand. What is 'artificial' life? Do you refer to inorganics?"

Minagoroshi smiles.

"You are interesting people... Speaking of inorganic dieties. You wish an alliance with Neo-Mekanta, yes?"


-To ECF

Minagoroshi's avatar blinked, looking puzzled. "Why do you assume I mean to attack the UFGZ immediately? Though true, the UFGZ has attacked Neo-Mekanta and must be eradicated, I am still developing weapons to use against them."

She places her hands behind her back, taking a more relaxed posture as she speaks.

"Your offer of an alliance is being carefully considered. I recall you to be an ally of GZ. What motivates you to war?"

a single Pocket Dreadnought Jumped just outside the system, its weapons were on standby and shields were ready to go up at a moments notice (ok so it would take a few minutes for them to be at full strength but still).
"My lady we have arrived at the Gorugathka system" an admiral reported to Darth Nightwalker.
"vary well" she said in a cold voice from under her cloak standing up. "keep shields down and weapons on standby and make shore the Hyper Drive is ready"
"aye m'Lady" the admiral replyed.
"open a channel to her" Nightwalker said, the comm officer looked at her "just open a Channal" the Comm officer nodded. "Minagoroshi, i am Darth Nightwalker Aprentice of Emperor Bane. We come for Diplomatic talks."

Taren blinked, but seemed mostly nonplussed, "Well then, is there any specific form of technology you are interested in? Jangle Jangle Ridge is considered adept at the use of gravitational and spacial distortion weapons by some. We also have some uses for nanites that you yourself may not have thought of. Just think of something you wish for, and we will try to help."

"Your offer of an alliance is being carefully considered. I recall you to be an ally of GZ. What motivates you to war?"
The Captain Puased for a minute or two. " Your nation is much more advanced than the GZ I simply assume you would take them out, Anyway a massive 36km long battleship is being built for my people. I wish it to be completed before there is any attack. It could prove to be a very vauble tool in an offensive to that nation. We wish to help your cuase because we have become slightly annoyed with the GZ. Your nation motivates us to war. And I can tell you WHY. GZ is a threat to all nations around him. He has no regrards for rights or other nations, He has also shown agression towards you. I do not trust him either. They must be stopped before they become more a threat. All we ask in return is that you wait for us to get our new ship out of his territory. Besides, 6 years gives you time to develop new weapons. Also is there any other way we can help in the meantime?"

The nanites gathered again, this time forming into twelve large warships three kilometers long. The process took five minutes to complete, a blink of an eye when considering the size of the ships.

Drop your shields and disengage all weapons. I will send an Avatar to speak personally...


-To JJR

Minagoroshi smiled warmly. (Kinda scary for someone who's name is literally "Wholesale Slaughter")

"I have not dismissed your offer. The... temporal technology we gained interests me. It seems to hold the key to the defeat of the UFGZ. Perhaps if my knowlage of this technology... the... Level Ten... were filled in, a military pact would be in order."

Taren replied to the smile with one of his own, "Military pact? This interests us also. If we gave you scientists, would you return them to us, kill them, or reform them to a form suitable for your purposes? Either way, we will send you scientists. I just need to decide which ones." Tarenteor let through a menacing grin, his pack row of jagged teeth sliding forward into a horrific zigzag.

Taren's teeth stayed locking in the vicious grin for a moment, before sliding away, "You may consume them. I will merely send those I was going to kill anyway. The rebellious scientists get so annoying after a while. Also, when it comes to strikes against GZ, Jangle Jangle Ridge is currently locked in a war with the entire AoN. One of our outposts in the Milky Way is being taken over. Most of our ships are there- a fleet of 5,000. So at the moment, we could not assist in these strikes."

The (NS-955-A) ND-600 Atlas glided out of the the special UMN Transfer Column that was specially linked to arrive near the Gorugathka.

Commander Jun Aoi stood up from the captain's seat as a channel was opened to Minagoroshi. The Atlas's main computer AI, Model SVC-2027 Kana, stood by ready for the uplink.

"Minagoroshi, this is the ND-600 Atlas of -Noir-, we wish to extend our hand of friendship to your part of the galaxy." said Commander Jun. "I repeat, this is the ND-600 Atlas, we come with peaceful intentions and an intent to foster friendship with Neo-Mekanta."

The Dali was an old, paradoxx class carrier. The captain was moving in to open negotiations with Neo Mekanta. They had used the older carrier, so as not to present a technological target. They made it to Gorugathka space, and powered down their engines.
If they got in trouble, they would be of no use anyway.

"This is Captain Nimroka, of the Dali, I have been empowered by Siesatian government to open negotiations with Neo-Mekanta.

ooc: Ah, what the heck... might as well...

ic: A small Verteideger class Frigate Folded into the center of the dust clouds, displacing whatever matter was previously there. It glided forward through the void, shields down, weapons at only minimal charge. The UFGZ hoped that Neo-Mekanta would at least hear them out.

Lieutenant Commander Deitrich paced back and forth from Ops and Communications. "We are transmitting peaceful messages on all channels," he queried.

The ensign at the Comm replied in a slightly shaky voice. "Y-yes sir... We're making sure everyone out there knows we come in peace."

"Hmph," Deitrich grunted. "Comm, open a channel to this... Minagoroshi..."

"Yes sir," the ensign shrieked.

Deitrich shot him a savage glare. "This is Lieutenant Commander Deitrich, representing the United Federation of Germanische Zustande. We come in peace, in the hopes of a peaceful agreement between our nation and Neo-Mekanta. We have powered down all weapons, and all shielding systems are on minimal levels. We hope that Neo-Mekanta will honor our intentions." He motioned to the Comm to cut the signal.

"Are you sure this is wise?" Its deep voice boomed through the bridge. The ship had been equipped with an AI for the sole purpose of defending against possible computersystem intrusion. "Neo-Mekanta is widely known for its treachery and honorless intentions."

Dietrich could have shot the AI himself. "You are here incase anything goes wrong. But we certainly have to try to establish peace with the damned machines. We can't fight many more wars for much longer."

"Heh. Such conceit. I suppose your hatred of machines extends to me?"

The Revelation, Explorer Class Vessel, traveled through T-Space searching for worlds to colonize for the Empire.

“Captain, I’m picking up readings of several ships ahead.”

“Where are they?”

“It appears they are in a decimated system. It looks like there is nothing left but there is a large mass somewhere within the system. I cannot pinpoint the absolute location.”

“What system is this?”

“I do not know. It is not on our charts.”

“OK, full stop. Remain in T-Space until we know what is going on.”

The Revelation came to a halt but remained deep within T-Space. The crew watched anxiously for a few minutes as the AI analyzed the situation.

“Captain, it seems there are several vessels here. I detect at least eight. It seems they are all from different nations, seeing as they do not hold any similar markings. I recognize two of them. There is a vessel from CorpSac and one from Siesatia. The rest we do not have in our database.”

“Hmmm… I guess we better contact our acquaintances to see what is going on here. Perhaps we can be of some help.


Coded beam to Siesatia:

This is the Imperial Explorer Class Vessel, The Revelation. Greetings
from the Empire. We are surprised to find one of your ships out here and
wish to know if you need any assistance.



Coded beam to CorpSac:

This is the Imperial Explorer Class Vessel, The Revelation. It has been
some tine since the First Contact talks that we meet. Is there any
assistance we may offer? What is the situation?


“There, that is all we can do for now. Keep us in T-Space until we hear from anyone and know what is going on here. Inform Terra of our findings via the Space-Minus Communicator.”


OOC: I don’t know what is going on here and I have never heard of Neo-Mekanta. This might turn into another First Contact, with the Deadliest Kind. If so, oh well…

-Gorugathka

The Minagoroshi ships, apparently appearing to be nothing more than the background mass of Gorugathka, had been maintaining a constant scanner sweep of the system. Though she new, unique from Mekantan military, she maintained thier habits. First among them was to always make sure scans are being done.

Minagoroshi gave pause once she noticed a ship holding in another plane, but immediately became enraged when she noticed the UFGZ ship.

As the other ship was presently not an issue, GZ would have to be handled first.

She lacked the old Neo-Mekanta's "shoot first, ask questions later" behavior, contrary to what the attack on the JJR outpost showed. Her voice booming as she sent a reply transmission to the GZ ship, several of the three kilometer battleships surrounding the GZ vessel. Thier Yamato mount Reflex Cannons shifted in thier locations until a massive amount of firepower could be brought to bear against the GZ ship, and the newly gained Temporal Disrupters had already been replicated for use.

LEAVE. NOW. YOUR PRESENCE IN THIS SYSTEM IS UNNECISSARY, UNWELCOME, AND UNTOLORABLE. IF YOU WISH NEGOTIATION, DROP ALL DEFENSES COMPLETELY AND ACCEPT A REPRESENTITIVE PARTY.

The Minagoroshi cloud gathered around the SSD, scanning it as Minagoroshi sent a return transmission.

It is good to see another who wishes the destruction of the UFGZ. If you would drop your shields, I will send an avatar to speak with you...

Don't worry about Neo-Mekanta. Mekantans are the ones you have to watch out for. Minagoroshi won't attack you unless you attack first, or you have an outpost too close to her Dead Zone. (Subject to change now that the plot bit with JJR is over.)

When she sat she lowered her Cloak revileing her face what was rare since hardly anyone knew who Darth Nightwalker really was.

Space rippled, and a new JJR ship appeared. The mock pleasure ship carried 30 scientists, gorging themselves on decadent food, thinking of the conference they thought they were going to. The ship was unarmed and unshielded. It seemed the scientists had arrived. A preprogrammed message was sent out. "Here are your scientists, 30 of them, with knowledge of temporal physics and weaponry, along with engineers, experts in other fields of weaponry. Also, in the ship AI, you will find full system maps of the Saddon-Treshkmed and Milky Way Galaxies. We hope this helps you reach areas that were unused by you. Finally, we have gravitational condensation technology schematics onboard, for your use."

Jun walked up to the avatar and was about to extend his hand for a handshake but quickly stopped himself and bowed instead.

"Greetings, it is a pleasure to meet you..." started the Commander. "Now...If you don't mind, I suggest moving to the briefing room. Kana will show you the way."

Kana's blue hologram appeared infront of the avatar and bowed politely.

There was no scanning, no nanite cloud. Nothing.

Nothing but a flash of light on the empty bridge of the ship. But this time, there was no Minagoroshi avatar.

Instead, a horde fierce looking creatures, seven and a half feet tall and impossible to tell if they were rock, machine, or flesh, appeared. Minagoroshi's pet soldiers.

The scientists sat, bug-eyed for a moment, before suddenly beggining to scream and run around. In the rush, one was moderatly trambled, and another ran into a pole and being knocked unconcious. The rest of them just tripped over the table, got covered in thousands of dollars of food, and lay writhing and gibbering on the floor. The AI of the ship began to yell out the bog-standard "Please leave the ship now" message, before stopping, playing "ip now" fives times, and releasing a small disk from the control panel. "Thank you for your service insert name here. We hope you enjoyed your flight."

The Zircon just looked at the scientists clammering for the door before leaping upon them.

The nanites forming thier claws dug into the flesh of the scientists, immediately beginning to consume them as the pulled out and lanced another through the gut.

Deep hisses and clacking screeches accompanied the scientists' screams as they were attacked by the Zircon and consumed by Minagoroshi within minutes.

The rest of the time was spent casually consuming the rest of the ship, until fifteen minutes later nothing was left...

The term "Wankshields" which we've been using don't even begin to describe it.

The ones I really hate, he's been using to claim only temporal weapons could hurt him. Now I'm applying a temporal shift to my standard weapons for the attacks on him. If he finds some new way to avoid damage, I'm busting out the final weapon.

An IGNORE Gun.

(And don't give me that "you didn't break them" crap, GZ. Anything that can take 50 Teratons of combined force in a single hit and not break a sweat is wank. You're going to have an armada of Zircon Battleships pounding your ships one by one.)

Minagoroshi nodded and followed the hologram, the nanite units outside continuing to scan the ship.


Briefing Room
ND-600 Atlas

Kana led Minagoroshi into a darkly lit room with several OLED tactical maps and charts floating near the walls of the room. In the middle of the room was a long conference table, and in the center was a holographic sphere that showed the surrounding space around the Atlas.

Here is the briefing room...The Commander will be with you shortly...

Kana's holographic form slowly vanished, as Commander Jun and several officers walked into the room.

"Excuse me, Minagoroshi, do you think it would be possible for your nanite scanners to cease scanning my ship...It seems to be interfering with several scientific electronic devices on this ship...And also the range of our low wave radar..." asked the Commander. "I assure you that we have no intent on committing any acts of aggression...Not like several other ships, we have picked up on our radar."

"Ahem...Commander..." coughed one of the other officers that had accompanied Commander Jun into the briefing room.

"Ok...Now lets get to business...I have several delegates from our UMN Transfer System that wish to speak to you about certain matters...That are out of my control...And I personally wish to speak to you about matters concerning the vessels you appear to be attacking...I am personally curious on what is going on."

One of the three other men that followed the Commander into the room stood up and introduced himself.

"Good afternoon...I am Michael Norton, representative of -Noir-'s UMN Transfer System. My colleagues and I wish to speak with you about several problems we are facing concerning our Transfer Columns that run through your system. But I assure you that it is just a slightly trivial matter that has been pestering several departments in the division." said Michael. "Here...Look at this map."

Michael pressed several nearly transparent buttons that had appeared on the table. At once the floating sphere changed views, from the immediate surrounding of the Atlas, to a wide shot of the Mekanta territory, which was partially blurred, and the surrounding space.

"This is the Mekanta territory...As you can guess...We have very limited data on your territory, due to the fact that something in that blurred area interferes with our Transfer Columns that run through the area."

Michael pressed another button and hundreds bright lines began to criss-cross the area from all directions. As the lines began to come into focus, thousands of pulses started to travel along the lines, each with a number and barcode, which clearly indicated that each one were ships or groups of ships.

"These are our Transfer Columns...And as you can see...Many pass through your system...And they well not do any harm to your area...They could be described as simple guide-rails that lead to one part of the universe to another..." said Michael. "And I highly doubt that you would have even tracked them or known about their existence until now."

Michael pressed another button and all movement withing the floating sphere stopped.

"Now for the problem...We are having technical trouble with the Transfer Columns that run through your territory...There seems to be several communication jamming problems occur to most commercial and private vessels that travel through that blurred area within Mekanta. We would like to find out if there is any black holes, space rifts, communications jamming equipment, a source of radioactivity, or any thing that might pose a threat to any vessel..."

The the Commander's second in command walked up to the ERP Radar op.

"What is it?"

"Several ships just vanished..."

"What are you talking about...They might have just jumped into hyperspace."

"No...We should have been able to trace it crossing the Transfer Columns in the area...And the low wave radar isn't picking it up...And the ship wasn't out of our range..."

"Odd...We'd better inform the Commander after the meeting..."

(A similar thing happened to me. All the way through reading the thread I was listening to Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec, and it's got stuck in my head whenever I think of Minagoroshi.)


The Ladies Choice emerged into the system without fuss, but it took a few moments for T'an Gongs eyes to adjust to the darkness after so many hours in the bright tunnels of hyperspace. T'an Gong had been volunteered from the bureaucratic caste (so I make up my own castes... sue me.) to represent the eternal Empire in a meeting with Neo-Mekanta. He had been democratically chosen when he was bound and gagged and slung into the back of the ship, which had its bridge replaced with a dining table, old colonial style, with a solid silver centrepiece. First impressions were so important. As well as purely aesthetic decorations, the gift was also there, waiting to be given. Nothing fancy, more a trinket than anything else. The ship. It was the oldest pregnancy test colony ship, and its hull had been filled with base, and valuable, minerals. Even though the offering was miniscule at best, it was the only thing that could be thought of that would be even remotely beneficial.

Since his eyes had adjusted to the new light conditions, he hit a small button on the control panel in front of him, and sent a greeting message through with his neurites.

"This is Jordaxian ambassador T'an Gong calling Neo-Mekantan envoys. I have arrived to discuss diplomatic relations between yourself and the Eternal Empire."

20-11-2004, 22:15
In response to the last hail, several Zircon Battleships swirled into existance from the nanite clouds.

But what would really catch eyes would be what was emerging in the center of the system. A massive space fortress, easily the size of the Earth's moon, began to take form, even primative scans showing immense power.

The new vessel, a Zircon Guardian, scanned the Balrogga ship.

Greetings... I applogize for the wait... If it is possible, please dock with the space fortress...
Balrogga
20-11-2004, 23:25
The small single shuttlecraft followed the flight path assigned to the computer by the alien vessel. The shuttle approached the fortress and landed without any trouble.

Captain Fairingway got up from the acceleration couch and walked to the rear of the craft. He checked the readings upon the screen beside the door. Once satisfied the atmosphere was breathable, he reached over and grabbed his jacket. He considered bringing along a light sidearm but dismissed the thought almost immediately. It would not only be considered bad taste to bring it but it would also be futile. No, it was something completely unnecessary for this situation.

The captain hit the button with his hand and walked out of the shuttle into the fortress........


OOC:

Yes, I am completely weaponless.
Neo-Mekanta
21-11-2004, 00:43
The floor of the space fortress was squishy, like flesh, but had a rough hard texture like stone. The same as the walls, with doors that flowed open and closed. The air was dry, and distant clicks and growls could be heard.

Only one other entity stood in the docking bay. The young avatar, still completely without clothes, of Minagoroshi.

"Greetings."
Balrogga
21-11-2004, 01:16
The captain turned and faced her, not noticing her nakedness.

"Greetings."

"We were passing by this system when our sensors detected a strange pattern. There were several ships of different nations just stiitng there not moving. We recognized two of the ships as belonging to nations we have had contact with before. I was worried there was a problem so I stopped. Apparently they were here to meet with an Entity unknown to us."

"I contacted my superior with the information. I was instructed to make inital contact on His behalf."

Fairingway looked about the docking bay.

"This structure is very interesting. Appears to be constructed of a material unfamilliar to me. It is pulsing with life."

The captains gaze returned to Minagoroshi's face.

"We would like to know more of you. Call it a meeting of minds. We could both possibly benifit but until we know more of each other, the future is yet undertermined."
Neo-Mekanta
21-11-2004, 01:36
Minagoroshi nodded, smiling warmly.

"Of course. It is refreshing to meet one whose opinion of myself and my realm is not clouded by misinformation. I am Minagoroshi, Supreme Will of Neo-Mekanta. Tell me, Captain Fairingway, what are your people? Human Democracy?"
Balrogga
21-11-2004, 02:00
The Captain relaxed slightly. He was worried the request for information would be taken as either frivolous or prying. This was a fine line to tread, but it was necessary in order to proceed.

“Well, I am from the Balrogga Empire. The Emperor is known as Nhur-Galladu. He has reigned for quite some time. We are mostly human but there are a small percentage of non-humans who are present within the Empire.”

“Our history is complicated and I am sure the Emperor would like to explain it himself, with your permission.”

21-11-2004, 02:34
Minagoroshi nodded, smiling.

"But of course."
Balrogga
21-11-2004, 03:12
"If you excuse me for a moment, we will not keep you waiting."

Fairingway concentrated for a moment and established contact. Luckily HE had been waiting or the captain would have needed help linking.

“Minagoroshi has agreed to speak to you.”


An aperture appeared a safe distance away. Several small bolts of crimson lightning crackled within the void, revealing the depths of Hyperspace to the two spectators. A form appeared within the opening and floated through, backlit by the flickering crimson aura. As the figure exited, the aperture closed.

The figure appeared as an elderly human wearing white robes trimmed with gold. His white hair fell below his shoulders, giving the impression of great age. The eyes shone with great wisdom and youth. He glanced at the Captain for a brief moment.

The Captain jumped and cleared his throat.

“Please let me do the introductions. Minagoroshi, this is Nhur-Galladu, the Emperor of Balrogga. Sire, this is Minagoroshi, the Supreme Will of Neo-Mekanta. Now I must excuse myself. You two have much to discuss which is none of my business.”

The captain turned and entered the shuttle, closing the door behind him. Once inside he took his seat and let out a deep breath. He tried to relax.

IC:

“My long term goal is to lead my race to our world of origin. We are of a race of beings called the Ta’Nar. We originated within another galaxy but we do not know which one. Our Galaxy was a small one that was almost completely dominated by the Ta’Nar. We were expanding into the surrounding galaxies in search of answers to the riddles of the cosmos and our existence.”

“The Ta’Nar is a race of humanoids that evolved over thousands of years to a point where we did not need our bodies. We could leave it and occupy another for a period of time but needed to return. Over time the length we could remain away increased until about 1200 years ago, the Ta’Nar began to undergo a racial evolution.“

“All the colonies were being recalled so we could undergo this change as a whole but the ship we were on experienced some sort of malfunction and crashed upon a world where technology was completely suppressed. There was no way we could get help.”

“We were completely isolated when the Event came shortly after the crash. We shed our bodies forever, alone upon a world we didn’t understand. We became psychic entities with no bodies for time to wither and die. Essentially we became immortals trapped upon a world where we were complete aliens.”

“We struck out and searched the surroundings to see what the world was like. We found a primitive world filled with people who were superstitious. We found a world where magic ruled and smothered all technology. That was why the ship died and why we were trapped.”

“None of the survivors could think of what to do next. That is when the idea overcame me. A plan began to form within myself and I shared it with the others. They agreed and we decided to undertake The Plan.”

“Each of us struck out upon their own in order to locate the most powerful mage they could find, inhabit them, and to return within one year. The result was the largest gathering of thousands of the most powerful mages ever seen upon that world. We gathered every resource we could locate and moved to a chain of islands where we created our own nation. We researched a way to use the humanoids and their magic to transport us to a world where technology would function. It took us over 900 years to assemble the pitiful knowledge and magic of the world to do this but we were finally able to this. We transported the Balrogga Empire from that unknown primitive world to Earth.”

“Over the past few centuries we have been working at evolving these hosts of ours so we can develop the tech to climb back to the stars and find our way back home.”

“So far we have discovered a few abandoned colony worlds that contained hints for us to follow but we have not yet discovered our home. We do not even know the galaxy we are in. Yes, I know the humans call it the Milkyway but that is not of our tongue.”

“We will it one day but along the way we will discover worlds and forgotten technology left behind by our brethren.”

“Please tell me about yourself.”

Minagoroshi thought a moment.

"... I know little of my creation, save that I was made to be a weapon. I first came to sentience when I was tested on the planet designated by Neo-Mekantan command as "Sethtakth" after destroying the world and consuming 7.3 billion sentient beings."

The avatar gives no outward show of remorse, but something about her and the surroundings shifts slightly and betrays her feelings.

"Shortly afterward, I was utilized in the destruction of the Mekantan Grand Armada, assimilating the knowlage, abilities, and technologies of Neo-Mekanta's hated bretheren. It was shortly after this that I learned the old Great Will of Neo-Mekanta saw me as nothing but a tool to use as he saw fit. He would have to be removed."

The holographic map in the center of the chamber changes, showing a single planet with a red-brown surface.

"... So I created the Zircon, here, on Ghyagis. Then I rebelled against the Great Will, usurping control from him and doing exactly what I was created to."

"... I consumed the entire Worldfleet of Neo-Mekanta, and purged my mind of any information not needed to rule. Unfortunately, I now realize I need that information, and have been searching for it for some time now..."

She looked down at the emperor.

"It seems we could help each other greatly. You, with your ancient knowlage, and I, with my eyes and ears scattered around this galaxy and spreading beyond..."

Nhur-Galladu stopped pacing and looked Neo-Mekanta in the eye and spoke:

“Yes, it does seem we could both benefit from an alliance of sorts. What do you suggest? It would be wise to determine the terms before we make an agreement. Please tell me what you wish.”
