A little FYI, the Freestar Carriers I just brought in are full of Fighter Interceptors, made with the sole purpose of taking down Bombers/Fighters. They are defensive.

OOC: This is getting way too crazy. I second the motion to back up a couple steps, but if Balrogga and I are the only ones, we'll need to stall. I've got a decent peace proposal, but I won't be able to post it all for a few hours.

In the meantime, I'll post my actions, and if we decide to rewind, I'll simply delete it.



All my ships are either in Empire Space or outside Earth Orbit except for the ships I have in T-Space. I also have a Harbor Patrol ship on the ground in Cherry Ridge that transported my deligate. None of those ships will move and all hostilities will be ignored until we come to a decision about the back up.

OOC: I'm here because help was requested. If you guys decide to back up, you won't have any resistance from me.

OOC: I'm willing to take it back a few steps. My 75 SSDs were partially brought from Northrop Grumman when I was ramping up for a war with TFU, the others I built over a period of about two months. How I understood the few posts before my last one was that the comms were over the open. I didn't see that it was a space minus transmission. I'll change it if everyone goes back before when I launched the fighters.

ooc- can we get negotiating now and stop the OOC argueing?

I agree, hit rewind to my last IC post and start from there, I still have my deligate land and enter the talks. That is the only thing that happened after I made my IC post. Sorry about the misunderstanding.


IC:

A ship faded into view about 20 meters above the landing platform at Cherry Ridge. The Harbor Patrol vessel (unarmed) requested permission to land. After getting it, it settled down to the tarmac and the represenative for the Empire left the shuttle.

The hooded figure followed it's escort to the chamber where the negotiations were being held. Upon entering, the figure reached up and pulled back it's cowel. A young girl looked back at the others within the room.

"Well, we have work to do here. Let's get busy. I have to be at Hind's Crimson Star to visit my sister tonight. I don't want to be late."

She took her seat and looked around the room seriously.

I agree, hit rewind to my last IC post and start from there, I still have my deligate land and enter the talks. That is the only thing that happened after I made my IC post. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
ooc- It is via video conference, not in the same room. We can forget that happened if you want.

Sorry

Just assume I am attending it via video link from Babylon Space Tower. I am still going to use Chrystal as my Deligate as she says the same thing.

The Cardinal looked wierdly at Crystil on the screen.
"Very well, you all read some terms of mine, what do you all think?" said the cardinal.

OOC: Unexpected RL matters will keep me offline until late Saturday night (East Coast, USA time)

Balrogga, I'm really regretting not participating in that thread where you first developed your Torq Drive. If only I had taken the two minutes to reply, my nation might know about T-space. Que sera, sera. And how long has it been since they fixed the gravity-well problem?

I have a peace proposal that I need to talk to CR about, but basic idea for now is that St. Berchman's gets split 50/50 between CR and DC/DC's allies. In addition, the Cardinal amends the CR constitution to tolerate certain religions, but strictly defines those religions. It would allow major religions like Buddhism (and who other than the Chinese hates Buddhists?) but would make sure that cults don't rise up. More info when I get back, and good luck with the peace summit.

IC:

High Marshall Wu sat in the darkened bridge, knowing that if anyone fired, he and his crew would be the first to die in the crossfire. The rest of the New Exodus fleet waited at a lower altitude, so that they might prevent any ground strikes from the fleets. Wait and See, Liang thought bitterly.

At the very least the conference seemed to be getting started, but due to a system malfunction, he was unable to communicate on a sufficient bandwidth to participate. And I even drew up the map, too.

OOC: Take everything back to the post before I called in the SSDs
ok Mike. I won't.....I'll call you later


IC:
Admiral Gunn walked into the Armory, which also served as a video-conference area. He stocked everything there...blasters, gauss cannons, conventional rifles and submachine guns, pistols, vibroswords...you know, the works. Admiral Gunn then opened the vid-link to all nations. He was decked-out in his dress uniform with his silver .45 on the table alongside his cover.

"Hello Admiral" the Cardinal said, dressed in his cassock trimmed with red.

OOC:

Out of respect for NE I think we should put a hold upon the talks until he returns.

Honestly CR, I kinda lost your post in all these other ones. Could you repost your Terms? Sorry


I'll keep an eye on this and we can continue when NE returns.

The United States of Nocab wishes to declare that it dissaproves of the Cherry Ridge Witchhunts, and will do anything to help end them.

*Sweeps noobie off table*
Ok, I am preparing to send my ambassador, where should she go?

To your video terminal. It is a video conference. I got corrected about that myself.

OOC: I'll assume my ships arrived safely and the actions of my post when them arriving happened. They are now, basically, in the process of supposedly fixing the problems the majority of my fleet supposedly have.

IC:

General Soybayun sat before the screen again, frowning. This was taking awhile.

"I'm ready when you are," she said.

Admiral Gunn exchanged greetings with all the delegates and then said, "I believe we are one short. Would you gentlemen please wait?"

my terms-
1. Berchmans isle ceaded to DC and Siesatia for 100 years
2. I pay back John Hammonds heir half of the 25 billion I owed him
3. Cardinal is pardoned
4- all forces besides those on Berchmans isle will be withdrawn
5- a CR ambassador is allowed on the isle

OOC: CR... always pissing people off and inviting war...

Oh well... have fun.

The Admiral then spoke,"My terms are simple but negotiable. First, the Earth Orbit region takes in all the witches who are exiled. Second, all enemy fleets return to port. Third, all nations involved exchange embassies in order to avoid any future bloodshed. Fourth, our ships will leave if peace is assured and all exiled are safe. Fifth, Cherry Ridge retains full sovernity."

OOC: Sorry I haven't been online in a few days, my computers power supply blew out and I had to replace it. I lost my windows install because of it, so I've been reinstalling and reconfiguring things all day.

Siesatia, I'd like to hear what you think about the current terms offered. To be honest, it seems like my modern(ish) tech forces are more than a little outmatched by some of the nations that have come to CR's aid, so I think you and your allies should have some more say in what we end up with if an agreement is settled on.

However, this is your world, not ours, you have more of a say in this than we do.

Many thanks for slowing the pace for me. I really appreciate it, and now intend to show what I've come up with.

IC:
Finally, the comm. systems reactivated, and High Marshal Wu was able to participate in the conference. He listened in on the proposals from the Cardinal and Admiral Gunn.

"If I may," he said by way of interruption, "I think I have some terms that may please most parties here." Liang motioned for the Comm. Technician to upload the image:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/Redford_Blade/Basemap-Mod.jpg

"Ladies and Gentlemen, my proposal consists of several components:

1. St. Berchman's Isle be split between Cherry Ridge and the Democratic Colonies coalition. This will help to repay the InGen investors.

2. All military units in orbit over Cherry Ridge return to allied territory/ports of origin as their commanders deem appropriate.

3. One third of the money owed to InGen be repayed over a prolonged period, so as not to severely hamper the economic health of Cherry Ridge.

4. Cherry Ridge amend its constitution to promote the tolerance of other religions. So as to ensure that the culture and moral integrity of the nation is preserved, the amendment will provide a restrictive (though not overly so) definition of religion. This is based on legislation currently active in New Exodus, and will allow for more religious tolerance without providing an excuse for behavior that might damage society.

5. All embargoes, blockades, and sanctions against Cherry Ridge be dropped.

"Of course," the High Marshall said, "These are subject to approval by Cherry Ridge, but our analysts agree that this is a reasonable settlement, based on past history and geo-political tensions."

"Any questions or suggestions?"

The Colonial Government places its full support behind the terms drafted by New Exodus. We believe the terms outlined provide a fair and just compromise that should be more than acceptable to the nations involved. The Democratic Colonies offers no amendments or changes, and endorses the terms as outlined in their current form, although changes within reason would still be considered acceptable by the Democratic Colonies.

IC:
The Siesatian government dissagrees with the territorial distributions, as the base on the south eastern end is of Siesatian origon, we think that this is an attempt to lessen our military power on the islands, as to allow CR more freedoms to persecute and murder without immediate repurcussions

OOC: Or... we could go with the CRs proposal, as Id really like my old base back. Besides, what fun is an RP when the one you are watching lives 2 feet away.

OOC: Oh, DC, your not on my IM list anymore, can you contact me?

IC:
The Siesatian government dissagrees with the territorial distributions, as the base on the south eastern end is of Siesatian origon, we think that this is an attempt to lessen our military power on the islands, as to allow CR more freedoms to persecute and murder without immediate repurcussions


The Colonial Government proposes that Siesatia be given ownership of the South Eastern area of St. Berchman's Isle, while a new installation for Cherry Ridge is constructed in either the North East or the South West. The Colonial Government is willing to pay up to 15 percent of the costs of construction of a new installation on the island for Cherry Ridge on the condition that the Pan Colonica Corporation is contracted as the sole provider of steel and building materials for the new construction.

OOC: Would three trillion buy the part of the isle?

It depends upon the size of the island and the price per acre...

The property value must have been driven quite low by the persicutions and threat of war...

Admiral Gunn, shining his .45, said, "Those terms are ok, but what of the refugees NE. I believe that Queen Stefini of CI will welcome them, and we could use a few more people to...draft...*the Admiral and the NE rep laugh at this*...Just joking about the draft y'all. It's an inside joke. The only thing I'm against is point number four."

After consulting with its allies, the Federated Union of Democratic Colonies, in conjunction with the Unified Worlds of Siesatia and the Empire of Balrogga, would like to present a 4 point peace proposal for consideration by Cherry Ridge.


Point 1.
The "witches" of Cherry Ridge be allowed free travel to any of the DC/Siesatia coalition members that they choose as long as the chosen nation accepts them. They will be evacuated by the military forces of the chosen nation, or by the forces of another coalition member if the chosen nation prefers.

Point 2.
3/4ths of St. John Berchman's Isle be surrendered to the DC/Siesatia coalition. Coalition military personel and equipment will be allowed to be stationed at the Isle without restriction.

Point 3.
Half of all funds owed to the Siesatia or corporations based in Siesatia will be payed back within a span of time deemed reasonable by Siesatia.

Point 4.
There shall be no penalties of death for practicing other religions or offending the religious institutions of Cherry Ridge. Deportation of persons who commit such actions is to occur instead, and be to a nation of the deported person's choosing, assuming the chosen nation accepts them.


Breakdown of proposed St. John Berchman's Isle territorial disribution
1/4th of Isle - Democratic Colonies
1/4th of Isle, to be located in South West - Siesatia
1/4th of Isle, to be located in centre of Isle - Balrogga
1/4th of Isle - Cherry Ridge


We hope that the terms outlined present an acceptable compromise in the name of peace. The Colonial Government is willing to pay up to 15 percent of the costs of building a new base for Cherry Ridge on the Isle if the Pan Colonica Corporation is contracted to be the sole provider of steel and building materials for the new installation. The Colonial Government believes this arrangement could further the cause of peace between Cherry Ridge and the Democratic Colonies while being economically benefical to both parties.

- Secretary Kelli Perim, Colonial Department of Foreign Affairs

OOC: Dangit! I knew there was something missing. Yes, the refugees need to go somewhere, preferrably where they won't be arrested. However, I would prefer it be DC, Siesatia or Balrogga.

IC:
Liang scratched his chin.
"Hmm, that still places an awful large burden on Cherry Ridge. Considering that their nation has been under near-constant threat of invasion by forces of exceptionally superior technology," he glanced meaningfully at Siesatia and Balrogga, "I would say that perhaps the burden should be lessened."

[b]Revised Plan[/i]

1. St. Berchman's Isle be split between Cherry Ridge and the Democratic Colonies coalition. 1/3 of the Island will go to Cherry Ridge, 1/3 to the Democratic Colonies, and 1/3 to Siesatia. Balrogga and DLE will be given preferred docking status at all New Exodus space facilities for ten years.

2. After a period of up to one month, all military units in orbit over Cherry Ridge will return to allied territory/ports of origin as their commanders deem appropriate.

3. One third of the money owed to InGen be repayed over a prolonged period, so as not to severely hamper the economic health of Cherry Ridge.

4a. Cherry Ridge amend its constitution to promote the tolerance of other religions. So as to ensure that the culture and moral integrity of Cherry Ridge is preserved, the amendment will provide a restrictive (though not overly so) definition of religion. This is based on legislation currently active in New Exodus, and will allow for more religious tolerance without providing an excuse for behavior that might damage society.

4b. Those arrested for practicing witchcraft, if they so choose, shall be allowed to take up residence in a willing nation of their choice.

4c. The aforementioned amendment to promote religious tolerance will include the provision that no person be put to death for their religious practices, but instead shall be deported to a willing nation of their choosing, with the exception of those accused of capital crimes such as murder or rape.

5. All embargoes, blockades, and sanctions against Cherry Ridge be dropped.

6. The parties involved will reconvene in 5? years to renew this treaty and propose amendments to the treaty if circumstances have changed.

OOC: Better?

The Balroga Empire wished to build a school in the center of the island to enlighten everyone who wished to receive education in everything wordly. The school was to be in the center of the island so it would be equal distance to everyone upon the island and be a (pardon the pun) center of higher learning. The school would be a tower about the height of a sky scraper and visable to most of the island. The entire project will be funded by the Empire in best interest for all.

"We should give the Cherry Ridge representative time to look over each of the proposals and decide which one the nation should pursue."

OOC: Now that peace is so close, I'm half expecting an army of n00bs to show up and lay siege to all of us.

OOC: Nah. Merlyns isn't on tonight.

IC:

"I will also consider the proposals. I need to be sure they will not be disadvantagious to my government," General Soybayun says, almost sounding as though it is some boring ritual that doesn't matter.

"Here are revised terms, based on all of yours
1- I pay back half of the 25 billion i owe Johnn Hammond to his heir
2- Berchmans isle is ceaded to the allies for 100 years, with a CR representative
3-The witches will be allowed to go to the nation of their choice
4-the cardinal is pardoned and all embargoes are lifted
5-After 1 month, all ships about to attack return to their home port
6-All declarations of war cease to be
7- The monastary, and the monks be left alone

There is a monastary in the center of the island. They run a school.

Chuckling at the demands, General Soybayun decided to reply, "We have our own set of demands we think you should consider. They're comming electronically."

~Electronic Transmission~
1) Cherry Ridge pays what is owed to John Hammond and Siesatia, as well as any reparations sought by families of those executed if sought withing thirty days (NS time).
2) Berchmans Isle is to be used as a permanent location where all involved nations may meet to solve differences in the future and is under the control of all nations involved permanently.
3) We agree with CR on this one.
4) The cardinal is put on probation for two years and the embargos are lifted.
5) All attack fleets are to return to their nations or an ally nation while ships normally in the area on other business stay in the area. This includes both in space and in sea.
6) Declarations of war are put on hold pending how the cardinal acts during his probation and, if he does not continue his policies of slaughter and lets those he wants gone to leave, the declarations will cease to be at the same time the probation expires, causing pease and a pardon to come on the same day.
7) Balrogga is allowed to build a school next to the monastary, putting up a sound-proof wall between the two to keep both groups from being disturbed (if the monastary still exists...)
8) If CR violates any part of this agreement, it agrees to a full-scale invasion of itself, involving as much orbital bombardment as necessary to subdue the military, and the allies of CR may not interfere. At that time the invading nations will begin to install a new government and leave the nation to rebuild after five years.
~End transmission~

OOC:
1. DLE, which executions are you referring to? Half payed over a period of ten? years, and we discuss further payments later.
2. While that sounds okay, I still think that the monastery needs to be rebuilt and maintained.
4. Make it five years, at which time he will be fully pardoned and we will reconvene to discuss repayment of the investment money beyond the first half.
5. and 6. Seem okay to me.
7. Up to CR
8. Unacceptable. New Exodus policy specifies that we must not stand by and allow orbital bombardments on an Earth modern-tech nation by a future-tech nation, unless said modern-tech nation can defend itself from said bombardment.

Also, there must be some method of ensuring religious tolerance, even if it simply is to deport all non-catholics to another nation. My personal feeling on this is that it would be beneficial to CR to keep a few major religions around, but that is up to the Cardinal and the people.

OOC:

1) Anybody executed for being witches. The payment options are not my concern.
4) Five years is acceptable, but I made it two so as to also make it acceptable to CR. If CR is willing to agree to five years, then that is what I will agree to.
8) The word "necessary" is in there for a reason. And, considering what I have learned of this nation's history, I don't want to be back here and doing this again in a few weeks. And the part about orbital bombardment can be removed, leaving it as just us invading and replacing the CR government without you or CM interrupting.

ReReRedone Treaty

1. St. Berchman's Isle be split between Cherry Ridge and the Democratic Colonies coalition. 1/4 of the Island will go to Cherry Ridge, 1/4 to the Democratic Colonies, and 1/4 to Siesatia, 1/4 to Balrogga. Balrogga and DLE will be given preferred docking status at all New Exodus space facilities for ten years.

2. Military units in orbit over Cherry Ridge will return to allied territory/ports of origin when their commanders deem appropriate.

3. One Half of the money owed to InGen be repayed over a period agreed upon by Siesatia and Cherry Ridge, so as not to severely hamper the economic health of Cherry Ridge.

4a. Cherry Ridge amend its constitution to promote the tolerance of other religions. So as to ensure that the culture and moral integrity of Cherry Ridge is preserved, the amendment will provide a restrictive (though not overly so) definition of religion. This is based on legislation currently active in New Exodus, and will allow for more religious tolerance without providing an excuse for behavior that might damage society.

4b. Those arrested for practicing witchcraft, if they so choose, shall be allowed to take up residence in a willing nation of their choice. Siesatia, Balrogga, Democratic Colonies, and DemonLordEnigma transports will be availiable everyday. CR may not interfeer in this process of relocating refugees. Said Refugees will be temporalrily housed by the government of its choice for as long as the government deems necisary.

4c. The aforementioned amendment to promote religious tolerance will include the provision that no person be put to death for their religious practices, but instead shall be deported to a willing nation of their choosing, with the exception of those accused of capital crimes such as murder or rape.

5. All embargoes, blockades, and sanctions against Cherry Ridge be dropped after a period of one month so as not to congest spacelanes and waterways.

6. The parties involved will reconvene in 5 years to renew this treaty and propose amendments to the treaty if circumstances have changed.

Admiral Gunn looked about and said, "I have no qualms with the above terms (all of them) except that we should include a mutual-assistance pact in there as well so as to keep possible wars to a minimum. I propose that the pact go similar to that if someone attacks one of the member nations, we all go to the aid of the member nation unless said nation invades an innocent nation and that if two member nations go to war, we stand idle unless in another pact specifically stating that aid is required."

Bumpith

What is the condition of the monestary? Is it destroyed?

If it has been, I can rebuild it and place a school near it. I will use one of my carriers converted to a civilian school and have it follow a predetermined course above the island. Like a floating castle from the fables of the past.

The Federated Union of Democratic Colonies fully supports the revised treaty put forth by the Unified Worlds of Siesatia. It is the belief of the Democratic Colonies that as currently revised, the terms outlined are fair and just to all parties involved.

The offer for the Democratic Colonies to assist in the funding of a Cherry Ridge base on St. John Berchman's Isle still stands as outlined in the original offer.

- Secretary Kelli Perim, Colonial Department of Foreign Affairs

OOC: Does Balrogga have a history with CR, other than as Siesatia and DC's ally? I'm just curious, because I was hoping to limit the number of territories that the island would be split into. That is why I offered docking rights to DLE and Balrogga; I wanted them appeased, but not on the same level as Siesatia and DC, who have had numerous dealings with CR.

IC:
Having listened to Siesatia's revised terms, Liang spoke, "New Exodus approves the current treaty (pending info on Balrogga's dealings), so long as there is an 'understanding' between our nations that if CR complies, after the five-year meeting, the warships be withdrawn. Once more, however, I must remind you that we will reserve official approval until Cherry Ridge agrees."

OOC:

No, I entered the conflict to support Siesatia when he had war declaired upon him.

The offer to rebuild the Monestary and convert an Intruder Carrier to a school still stands. Perhaps enlightment will prevent this from happening again. Anyone who wants may attend the school as long as they make a commitment to attend. No going when they wanted to but going every day. There will be medical clinics aboard the ship too. The level of education will not include future tech, only to modern tech.


EDIT:
Any refugees who flee to the Empire can get a dorm room aboard the ship if they wish to attend the school. Otherwise they can be relocated within the Empire itself.

I approve of the last proposed treaty, only with no alterations. If one of us decides to go to war with another, it should be up to them two who is invited to join the battle.

Response from Admiral Gunn
*a picture of the Admiral's nude behind with a caption that says, "Kiss my ass!" appears onscreen*
If your guys are so smart, then why didn't they understand that that warning shot, that is "an act of war", got our point across and brought your and your allies' fleets to the negotiating tables. That was all we wished to do. We know that it may have sparked a war, but we also knew that nobody wished war, so the tatic was effective in scaring your admirals enough. If you're not used to such tatics, you will be dominated by someone who's not as nice as we are. We strongly suggest that a smaller nation such as yourself take advantage of the friendship of a nation ten times your size.

~Electronic Transmission to Crazed Marines~
You will find threatening me will get you nowhere. And being a nation ten times our size really doesn't matter that much to me.
At the time, there was no indication that was a warning shot. In fact, one of my ships has reported detecting a target launch on another of my ships. That would have made my soldiers deciding to open fire on your ships, mines, and civilians justified and any deaths resulting being faulted to your end. It helps to think about these things beforehand.
I must commend my military for not being scared. If they had been, they would have opened fire on your missile and then your ships. The result may have lost me a few ships, but you would have lost quite a bit more in the long run. You're not dealing with common soldiers.
To be honest, it was not your fleet who got us to the bargaining table. It was your ally deciding to aim at any shots you fired after that. My soldiers were pushing for war and making plans to take you out. Don't assume that just because they don't shoot back they are not willing to do as much damage as they can.
I personally found your picture to be very amusing. It revealed exactly the kind of people I am dealing with, what to expect from you, and added more evidence to why I will not ally with you. When you have someone a bit more blossomed willing to take over diplomatics, let my ships know.

OOC: So then CR, I guess you like the terms if you are drawing up the tolerance act. Let me just make one suggestion. I have something of a legal mind, so why don't you TG me the draft, so I can make suggestions and proofread it for any loopholes that might be used against you.

OOC: CM, for a reply, all you'll get is your message bounced back to you. When communications are labelled as severed, I mean severed. You've been effectively dismissed from attention. One of the great things about being a dictator is Enigma can effectively order it to where he never has to talk to you.

You'll find my soldiers work well in small groups. This is not because of any advanced military training, but because they are both inventive and adaptive. Part of the reason the ships are so small is related to this. They will surprise you if you think they'll fight using conventional means.

Just out of curiousity, how close to your settlements do your mine fields come? I would think you would need some space for ships to get in without fear of hitting one.

Private vid-link to CM and DLE:

The image of Chrystal appears on the screen She seems to be slightly annoyed.

"Excuse me, we are in negotiations rignt now. You two are causing a distraction. Right now we do not need a distraction. Please wait until the talks are over if you wish a contest to see who has the better weapons. Now is not the time."

Chrystal's eyes cloud with utter blackness and her voice can be heard in both Admiral Gunn's and Dictator Enigima's minds, even across the gulf of space.

"Do you understand?"

Her eyes return to normal.

"Thank you for your attention. Lets get back to work."

~Electronic Communication to Balrogga~
My position has already been stated. I'm pretty much agreeable to the treaty as last proposed, without an alteration. All conversation between my nation and Crazed Marines has been a mild disagreement over that.
As it is, my support of the last proposal stands.
I must compliment your diplomat on the eye trick. Quite effective when one is not expecting it.

OOC:

It's a physical manifestation of her psionic ability.

OOC: I know. Enigma doesn't. He just thinks it's a neat trick. But, that's for a different reason, which I won't post until I have my nation's profile finished.

"When will we sign the treaty? Remember, I agreed to Siesatias terms."

What about the offer of a school?

The monastary was rebuilt.
I posted that on the page before. I will post it again so you guys can see it. They have a school. Any children can go to school there.

Siesatia is commited to this not being a full military base, and we will have many families come along. Although our allies may not approve of this, we think it is best for the social construct of the base during elongated stays.

OOC: Little kids = Good RP and plenty of troublemaking

The Government of Sarumonkikarukachiru wishes to extend it's congratulations to the victors of this war. Because of our policy of nonviolence, we have waited until we were assured of a compromise before speaking to this issue.

We now come forward to offer any nation greviously affected by this war aid. We are willing to provide food for those who's agricultural system has been hit, shelter to those in need and organs from our organ bank to aid in the recovery of injured soldiers.

We will provide all the aid that is within our economic grasp as long as the nation in need provides adequate proof of it's need whichever side of the conflict they were on.

However, we must make a statement that we had from the beginning been oposed to the discriminatory action taken against witches, and hope not to see such inhuman policies be implemented again. If another such grevious offense should occur, we are prepared to aid the opposing nations with food, money and organs during the conflict, and will provide food, clothing, shelter and asylum for all refugees of the conflict.

"I propose we send a representative to meet on the isle, that you guys will have for 100 years. I will got here personally, along with my liason, Father Michael McAndrew. ALso, if you want, the kids can go to the monastary school"

OOC:

The only shots fired were by Crazed Marines which were destroyed either by CR or their allies to prevent retalitary strikes and open warfare.


IC:

The Empire will set up a school upon an Intruder Class Carrier which will hover 1 KM above international waters or in allied territory. There will be transport for any who wish to attend the free school. Dorm options also exist for those who wish to relocate to the ship. Lunches will be provideed for those who are attending the classes. Free Medical Clinics will be set up within the converted vessel to keep the students healthy, as well as their families. Daycare will be provided for those who are too young for school.

The classes will range from preschool to college level in all fields of knowledge.

Modifications to The Inspiration has already begun.


The Empire has undertaken this project to educate the people hoping enlightment will prevent further cultural diffuculties in the future.

"I propose we send a representative to meet on the isle, that you guys will have for 100 years. I will got here personally, along with my liason, Father Michael McAndrew. ALso, if you want, the kids can go to the monastary school"

Secretary Kelli Perim of the Department of Foreign Affairs is currently en route on a government Concorde transport. She is being escorted by a platoon of Colonial Marines in addition to her usual attachment of Security Bureau agents, and her transport is being escorted by a squadren of 18 F-106 Liberators. She will sign the treaty on behalf of the Democratic Colonies once all of the involved dignitaries and diplomatic parties have arrived and have confirmed thier acceptance of the terms.

The Cardinal and the priest were enroute to the isle The Cardinal was wearing a cassock, trimmed in crimson, with a laong, flowing red cape, with a red skull cap. His episcopal ring glimmered in the light. Father McAndrew was wearing his plain black cassock, with a long, black cape.

He decided to call Seratary perim mid-flight.
"Hello, Secratary, its Cardinal DeVito. Will the old liason, Claire, I believe it was, be the commmanding officer agin?"

"Hello, Secratary, its Cardinal DeVito. Will the old liason, Claire, I believe it was, be the commmanding officer agin?"

Secretary Perim took a moment to shuffle through her briefcase before replying.
"At the present moment, no one has been selected for the command of the Colonial base." she said, noting that no one had been settled on yet for the position.
"Would you prefer that Commander Claire Delmack of the Office of Naval Intelligence be posted to the base on the Isle?"

"Actually, yes I would. I think she is best for the job."

Secretary Perim began to scribble a note to herself as she replied.
"Very well then, I'll pass that along to the Navy and see if she's available for the assignment. Assuming the Navy clears it and she herself is fine with it, the Department of Foreign Affairs has no objection to a military officer from ONI in command of the facility."

OOC: Sorry for a lack of posts, HALO 2 has kept me red-eyed
IC:
Admiral Gunn looked a little angry at DLE's inferior military smarting off, "You know what. In 5 years, we'll talk about a mutual assistance pact. For now, everything's good. I'll sign it."

One Week Later

High Marshal Wu stepped out of the dropship's hatch and onto St. Berchman's Isle. It had been months since he had set foot on Earth, and the fresh air and open skies of the planet were refreshing.

In the distance, he could see people swarming over the ruins of structures destroyed during the last evacuation, bringing new life to the buildings. In the air above the island, orbital shuttles and aircraft zipped back and forth. The rough roads were being worn down by the treads of construction vehicles. It seemed that peace had settled, even after only a week.

His Marshal's cape swishing behind him, Liang walked down the road to the Siesatian base. His step was light, and a smile crossed his face for the first time in two weeks.

OOC: Peace be with you all. (And lets keep it this way)

Chrystal steps off the shuttle and it silently lifted off the groud to a height of about 10 Meters. The ship flew off to The Inspiration waiting just off the coast. The slight figure of the 17 year old entered the chambers where the signing was to take place and waited, intently studdying everyone in attendance.

Admiral Gunn stepped out of the NE shuttle a minute after Wu. He liked Earth, no matter the radioactivity in the background due to nuclear wars. Peace might just work out for them, for a change.

no matter the radioactivity in the background due to nuclear wars.

How true, how true.

The DLE command ship landed gracefully, despite the alterations to the Siesatian design, and General Soybayun stepped out. She blinked twice and looked around. Despite how it looked from orbit, Earth was a strangely dark planet, its atmosphere not being lit enough by the tiny star it orbitted.

Soybayun marched straight towards the meeting area, seeing other delegates there, and smiled at the surprised looks she occasionally got. Despite her alien origin, she appeared completely human, her hair waving a bit in the wind. Her ease of movement in the atmosphere was due to what made her homeworld attractive to the Sarkarasetans: It's density, higher than normal for a planet of that size, created a gravity field comparable to Earth. There was no way they would pass up the opportunity that presented.

Soybayun shivered a bit in the colder sun. The Siesation ships, unlike the ones they replaced, had allowed for better replication of Terran's atmosphere and temperature levels. This proved to be a disadvantage for colonization efforts, but people adapted quickly enough it was not considered a problem.

"So, shall we do this?" Soybayun asked of those present.

The Siesatian Correspondant, none other than Syphera, the commander of the Freestar II, and the old leader of the base, stepped out onto the harsh sunlight, to look upon her old charge.
The base, at the time known as Sol 3 base, had been deserted when they had been forced to abandon when Cherry Ridge had called upon their allies to force the small garison to abandon their post. Much of the deserted buildings had fallen down, and had been over run by the weeds.
"Its definately good to be back."

As the cardinal stepped out of the plane with Father McAndrew, a sleek, black, lincoln continental drove him to the one of the couple buildings left in good shape, besides the monastary, where the signing would take place.
"Hello, this is Father McAndrew, who will be the CR liason." said the Cardinal. "How are you all today"?

Syphera looked on as the first group of construction nanites were released. They Instantly took to their programming, and began the construction or repair of the buildings. By tomorrow, at 0800 CR time, there would be a fully operational base standing ready for the new garrison.

The base is using property of several earth countries who wanted their field equipment tested, along with Siesatian Technology. The base reconstruction will be lower tech than the origional

Chrystal walkes over to a bench and sits down with her punch. She takes a sip and makes a face. She stares at the liquid for a few seconds and takes another sip.

"There, that's better." she mutters to herself. Chrysta looks around at the other represenatives and studies each in turn. That is the advantage of someone with the appearance of age she possess. People dismiss her as being unimportant so she can study each player in the game and decide who will be the important ones to watch and who to keep an eye upon. As she makes her observations, she sends notes through her Neurolink to the database in orbit. A computer model for each person was constructed and supplied with direct observation data and displated manerisms to make as complete a molel as possible in the short time allowed.

After a while without anyone aproaching her, she stood and walked over to the buffet table and took a plate of snacks and a refill of her drink. She returned to her seat and nibbled upon the fresh fruit.

The Cardinal walked over to Crystal.
"Crystal, I assume? I am Cardinal DeVito, nice to meet you." he said with a warm smile.

Admiral Gunn was watching the construction nanites, "We need some of those..." he murmured as he took notes.

Syphera walked over to the admiral, who was watching the reconstruction.
"They're not for sale." She told him, "And even if they were, the price would be enormus. Anyway, I have to head over to the conference, I should think you will be attending?"

Liang took another deep breath and quieted his mind using a concentration technique he had learned as an adolescent. Glancing around, he noticed the activities of the delegates.

Admiral Gunn was watching the Siesatian compound's construction, no doubt wondering how he might acquire that technology for use by Crazed Marines, or perhaps simply admiring the weapons and fortifications.

The Cardinal was shmoozing, and Liang felt a slight twinge of annoyance. He had little against the man, but he did not like stubborness, or the way the Cardinal seemed to live in luxury. As a senior officer, he understood that such things came with advancement, but he had never seen a New Exodus Cardinal or Arch-Bishop drive around in such a nice car.

Soybayun seemed chilled, but otherwise happy, and Syphera seemed to just be glad to be back on the island.

All of these people seemed relatively transparent, although with the non-humans, he doubted that he knew enough about their cultures to be certain. The one that concerned him most, was the young Chrystal. Like Commander Haase, Liang had been chosen at an early age for grave responsibilities. Youth were not given important jobs unless they could handle it, and Liang recognized Chrystal's quiet, contemplative demeanor from his own youth.

She's watching us, but I'd expect nothing less, he thought with approval, and just a little wistfulness.

The Cardinal walked over to Liang.
"I saw you looking disaprovingly when I got out of my car. Don't worry, it was a gift from the late Duke of Innocent (county). They are a duke in name only though. I keep it in his memory. Anyway, you seem quite young. How old are you?"

Syphera finished filing her claws inside the tent. Walking outside, she motioned for her secretary a Human by the name of Silvia, to accompany her to the conference. She watched as the first of the armourments were emplanted as she walked through the beginings of the town.
The nanites had already finished the smaller utility buildings, and had moved on the the larger projects. She knew there were a couple billion working all together.
"They're doing a good job, they'll be done by late tomorrow, don't you think?" She asked Siliva,
"Yes mam, I believe at the rate they are going, the military compound will be completed tomorrow at 8:00. The Civilian sectors should be done by early next week."
"Very good, now lets go find out where the meeting is." She walked over to a seemingly harmless human girl. She was from Balrogga, so Syphera knew to be wary.
"You must be Chrystal, I am Commander Ulayla Syphera, you wouldn't happen to know where the peace conference would be?"

Syphera walked over to the admiral, who was watching the reconstruction.
"They're not for sale." She told him, "And even if they were, the price would be enormus. Anyway, I have to head over to the conference, I should think you will be attending?"

Admiral Gunn, a little suprised, said, "We weren't going to copy your design. Just noting what our version should include when we design it. Very intriguing concept. Do you mind if I walk with you? I need to get there as well."

Syphera looked over to the admiral."Yes, go ahead, it is a free country... well, this part anyway. But I want to speak to Crystal first, give me a second."

"I can wait." was the simple reply from the Admiral.

Chrystal noticed the feeling of curiosity first. She looked up and saw a Raptor from Siesatia approaching. Her eyes were on Chrystal as she stood to greet the base commander.

"You must be Chrystal, I am Commander Ulayla Syphera, you wouldn't happen to know where the peace conference would be?"

"The Cardinal was just here, he said hello but wandered off before I could answer.”

A far away look crossed her face for a moment.

“He is a peculiar fellow. He broadcasts overconfidence. It’s not hard to find. He is over there.”

Chrysta pointed in the direction where the Cardinal stood talking with some of the other guests.

“I got the feeling the signing would take place in the Monastery. It should start as soon as they are done posturing to show their importance. You know the male types, always needing to feel superior even when they are not. If you don’t let them, then they are more difficult to handle later. If you let them have their illusions of grandeur they become complacent.”

Chrystal took another sip of her punch.

[I'm new, please excuse me for having no idea what is going on. But I'm going to join in and piss everyone off]

Kayla's Evil Empire of Entitlement does not like Witches to be hunted. And Witches do not worship demons or the devil or whatever you retarded countires think. You're getting them mixed up with 'Satan Worshippers' and I think that name is pretty self explanatory. Traditionally, Witches worship nature and do not believe in the devil and are well-meaning.

Kayla's Evil Empire of Entitlement asks what the criteria is for those being hunted.

If you are hunting the well-meaning and peaceful Witches, then Kayla's Evil Empire of Entitlement kindly asks you to stop, for they should be allowed to practice the religion they choose.

"Please stay out items that are none of your business."
-Admiral Gunn

OOC: Not a Burman, a Raptor.

Syphera looked at the strange human girl inquisitively. She could feel a power, a being of great power. Raptors normally had no feelings of this sort, no connection to ESP, but she seemed to reek of psycic powers.
"Indeed, one of the reasons I am not married. However, I don't smell overcomfidence, just a load of garbage in one racist package."

Yeah, it was such a good line that I had to use it.

OOC:

Sorry about the racial slip. I couldn’t see where it stated what species you were using. I had a 50/50 chance of guessing right. I’ll change it after posting.




IC:

The Raptor looked over Chrystal for a moment, closely examining her.

"Indeed, one of the reasons I am not married. However, I don't smell overconfidence, just a load of garbage in one racist package."

Chrystal chuckled.

“Straight and to the point. I like that type of diplomacy. You don’t have to waste time inventing phrases that might not insult to cover your insults. You can get your point across efficiently.”

Chrystal looks over at the Cardinal.

“Although some people refuse to face the truth…”

"Indeed, times have long since changed, the government in Cherry Ridge is midievil, a Theocracy is doomed to fail because of its inherant inability to adapt to theories that difer in their views, we got the chance long ago to take him from his seat of power, and we let it slip, I have been instructed, that if such a time should come again, I should take the chance."
She couldnt help but notice the youth of the strange being who stood before her. In her own 9 feet in hight, she towered above the youth.

"Perhaps we will see sooner than we expect. I can tell the whole thing is bothering him. That is one of the reasons I was picked to represent The Empire. I physically resemble a large portion of those he is persecuting. I am also the chronological age of his victims. The fact he has to treat me as an equal, it will burn in his belly like an old Phalanga Fruit. I also have other talents that come in handy.”

Chrystal took another sip of her punch. She looked back up at the Raptor and continued.

“Have you seen the others from DLE and DC yet? I seem to have missed them. Also, it seems the idea of a school is being ignored. The Emperor has ordered The Inspiration to be refitted and should be ready to open within the week. If we cannot get the right to follow a flight plan over land, we will use International Waters. The Imperial College will be created even if the CR allies don’t want it. We will continue as planned.”

Soybayun has slipped away from the others and back into her ship. She was strangely sweating, despite feeling cold, and was beginning to feel... unusual. She hoped this was just a minor disease and not genetics finally comming into play. But she needed confirmation.

"General, several of our people are experiencing the same thing. They're the ones expected to change the most. It appears the error margin was wrong or that something has triggered it early. In any case, the Change has begun," Morlen, captain of the Torlagga, said.

"Damn. I'll have to hide it during this. The raptor will smell that there is something off, but I can pass that off as them finally noticing we are not human, even if we are genetically related. If the change is too much, it'll become obvious and I'll have to explain it. That will delay things and annoy the others. Get the fleet back home and use a standard scatter pattern for the jumps. No need in revealing our location just yet. Also, where is the Dictator?" Soybayun asked.

"The last transmission from his ship revealed it was infected with something from a derelict he was investigating. He sent along a copy of his program just in case he did not return. So far, we've kept his absense a secret with that copy. No need in people finding out he is indisposed and possibly going to be destroyed," Morlen said.

"Understood. Now get out of here," Soybayun commanded.

Soybayun exitted the ship and, spotting a Siesatian, waved and walked over, noticing a Balroggan there as well. She smiled at the diplomats, despite her eyes holding an internal discomfort. Things were not going as expected.

OOC: I had expected to be done with this RP by now. I set my schedule for this date with that in mind. What is going on is a preprogrammed evolutionary change in the entire species. It's been building for thousands of years now and is just comming into play. By their timescale, much earlier than expected. While this throws a minor inconvenience and forces a withdrawel of DLE forces, it shouldn't have that much of an effect on this RP.

OOC: Long story short, New Exodus is allied with a nation of mythical/fairy tale creatures. The result is that many of my main characters are kept relatively youthful because of exposure to the nation's magic. The nation (Crystal Ireland) has a thriving Catholic diocese, populated mostly by Leprechauns, thanks in part to Commander Haase and the fact that, well, its Ireland. Also, several main characters like Commander Haase were genetically modified as soon as they were conceived, though they have not figured out who did it. This also lends towards a younger age than would be normal for humans in their positions of power. Liang is in his mid-thirties, but looks only about 18.

The High Marshal smiled, "I suppose I wouldn't be the first to be suspicious of the car, but I still apologise. As for my age, I'm... older than you would expect."

Throughout the conversation with the Cardinal, Liang had been watching the raptor and Balroggan. While the lip movements of the Siesatian were too unfamiliar for him to recognize, he could see what the young girl, Chrystal, was saying.

"If you would excuse me, your eminence, I just remembered a pressing matter that begs my attention. Perhaps we could talk more after the signing?"

Not quite waiting for a reply, Liang moved rapidly to the conversing females.

No doubt the raptor will sense my movement, and the girl has been watching all of us. They won't be surprised by my arrival, but no matter.

"On the contrary," he said brightly, with almond eyes twinkling mischeviously, "The school is a wonderful idea. I for one am happy to know that the Inspiration will be available." (Yes, he is being honest.)

OOC:Balrogga, what exactly does Chrystal look like? You mention that she is young, and that she physically resembles a large portion of those being persecuted, but what does that mean?

Good luck, DLE! Turn into beautiful, beautiful butterflies! :D

OOC: DLE, are your people Shivans or something? *Unracks Anti-Shivan weaponry*

Syphera smelt something, normally, she would not have heeded her instincts to leave the area, but the scent she smelled was a sick, diseased smell, used long ago by her anscestors to discern the healthy from the sick, and pick their prey accordingly.
Turning around, she accidentally bumped Crystal with her long tail, being 20 feet long made these manuvers difficult. She saw the DLE representative, turning back around (And hitting Crystal again)
"I'm sorry, I have to go." she said urgently, and walked off towards the tent.

The Cardinal walked over to the buffet table and got some cofee. Then he sat down on a bench and waited for the DC representative.

The Admiral opened his CommLink, "Gunn to the Iwo Jima. It appears that something is happening with the DLE rep. He's sweating profusely and appears to have symptoms similar to that of the flu. But I know the flu, and that ain't it. I want you to scan him and find out what the heck is goin on. If he has a contagious disease, I want to know so I don't attend without my moonsuit on."

OOC: Soybayun is female. You'll find a tendency for women to be in the upper ranks of my military. You'll also find most of those you encounter are young hotshots, due mostly to the retirement age and tendencies of promotion.

Shivans? Even if I knew what those are, not likely. DLE people are Sarkarasetans, which is a species that evolved from humans several thousand years before on an Earth orbitting a different Sol than the one the delegates are on now. Unless you actually check their genetic coding or have someone (like raptors) with enough of a sense of smell, you can't tell the difference. Of course, the DLEs don't know they evolved from humans, the homeworld of the Sarkarasetan race, or exactly what is happening now beyond the blanket-statement of evolution. I plan on revealing a lot of this in a future RP.

Also, about their height average: Humans have shown a strange tendency towards getting taller as the years progress. The idea of a species that evolved from humanity having that as a natural height and it being common isn't that unlikely. In its own history, the human race has grown at least half-again as big as it started out.

IC:

Soybayun watched as the Siesatian turned and left. She wondered for a moment what was going on. But, she had a job to do despite what happened.

"Hello. I'm General Soybayun of the DLE fleet. I understand you're of the Balroggans. Or, at least, that is what I am assuming," Soybayun said, extending her hand to Chrystal.

Soybayun smiled as she looked around, feeling slightly more powerful. Her people averaged around 2 meters, depending on the year and nutrition, and this caused them to tower over the heads of most humanoids. But, Soybayun was here to negotiate and serve as an ambassador, not to let her ego get sway of her. Then she silently wondered if the woman before her was reading her mind.

Catching herself for a second time as the Raptor’s tail nearly knocked her to her knees, Chrystal stumbled barely staying off the ground.

“Well, I wonder what got into her?”

She could sense the fear and disgust oozing from Syphera, almost pure instinct. Looking up she noticed Soybayun watching her. Chrystal chuckled.

“I hate it when that happens.”

She regained her footing and crouched to pick up the spilled plate and now empty punch glass. She scanned the individual before her, using the excuse of the spilled plate as a means to hide her actions. She gathered the pieces of fruit and placed them back upon the plate and put them upon a table where they would not get underfoot.

"Hello. I'm General Soybayun of the DLE fleet. I understand you're of the Balroggans. Or, at least, that is what I am assuming,"

Chrystal looked into Soybayun’s eyes as she spoke.

“Well, you assumed correctly. I am indeed from the Empire.”

“I sense a deep need for change within you, almost uncontrolled. Do not fear the Change. It happened to us over a millennium ago.”

“You must try this fruit, it is just wonderful. It is hard to get it so fresh in space.”

“I sense an Uplift approaching. You will improve as a race. A step forward is better than what most of the other nations are currently attempting.”

“I am sure glad they finally experienced wisdom and decided to call off the war. I really would hate to think what would have happened to them.”

“If you would like to meet so we can talk openly that can be arranged. It might help allay the great fear I feel within you for your Enigma.”

“Life is Magical. We embrace it fully.”

Syphera sat down in her office, thinking to herself when Silvia came running in, "What was that about mam?"
"Stay away from the DLE representative, something smells fishy."
"You practically ran away from him."
"No, I mean he smells like fish, a dull, faint rotten smell, diseased."
"I didn't smell anything."
"I wouldn't expect you to, is the Freestar II in orbit?"
"Yes mam."
"Tell them to get scans of the DLE personel, temporal sensors Silvia, I don't want them detecting us."
"Yes Mam."
"Dismissed."

The Cardinal walked into Sypheras office.
He asked the secratary if he could see her.
"Wait one second"

Syphera had been enjoying a perfecly good salad for lunch, the peace and quiet had been rather nice, until her secretary had called over the intercom that the Cardinal was here to speak with her.
"Let him in." she said, and when the cardinal walked into the office, offered him a drink.

"Sure, I'll take a Dom Romane Conte (cost 1,500 dollars a bottle)."

"I just wanted to welcome you to the isle. Next to me here, is the ambassador from CR, Father McAndrew"

"Never heard of it, but then, if its alchohol, I wouldn't, since it is frowned upon back home, I do have this, she said, and passed him a glass bottle full of a light green colored liquid. And it is nice to meet you Mr. McAndrew." She said, it was also at the time when a young Burman officer walked into the room. and Saluted by clasping his hand to his heart, hand in a fist, the palm down.
"Defensive perimeters set, we have some of the Dragon Knight soldiers combing the woods for the natives that attacked the camp last time."
"Major, did you greet the guests?" She asked the officer, He turned and Saluted the same, only with his palm up. Syphera laughed at this, and he departed.

OOC: It has the kick of Irish Wiskey and Russian Vodka, without the intoxicating effects.

"Thanks" said the Cardinal.
"Was that A sign of disrespect from that major" asked father McAndrew.

"The Palm down is a salute to a person of higher rank, or a civilian. A palm up, is a salute to an officer of lower rank, or a criminal." She chuckled again.

"What is funny about a sign of disrespect" the Cardina asked.
Then both of them walked out as he muttered
"stupid raptors"

Freedom of speech ppl. Ever heard of it? My land condems this behaviour!!!!undefined

Freedom of speech ppl. Ever heard of it? My land condems this behaviour!!!!undefined
So, you are condemning my nation? Want to be crushed. NO? Then go away!

*Pokes the noob* haha this is fun *Poke Poke* HAHAHA *Shoots Noob* Oops, oh well, one less in this here world.

OOC: Siesatia, Soybayun is femme. Pure femme.

IC:

"I thought as much. I'll accept. It'll give me something to do in the meantime. Thank you."

"I'll pass on the fruit. We have yet to declare certain Earth foods as safe for consumption and I don't have the list with me," Soybayun said.

Soybayun looked up as Tormeta ran up, with Tormeta looking strangely pale. Soybayun wondered what was going on with her, but said nothing. She suspected she'd find out shortly.

"Sir, you've just been named Acting Dictator. The previous met with a bullet for his actions," Tormeta said.

"Thanks. You look pale. May I ask why?" Soybayun asked.

"It... it is nothing," Tormeta said, backing away slowly, before she turned and ran for the ship.

"She is hiding something. I sense that from working with her. If this change is magical, what can it do to certain diseases? If it can mutate them as well, I am afraid of what it can create."

"We would need to research it. With Magic, you have to be careful. There is a science to it but you have to keep track of all the variables, and there are many. We would need all the information you have."

"I see, I wish you could try them. They are just simply delicious!"

"I will contact the appropriate people to discretely investigate this. We can start as soon as you feel like it is appropriate."

"Congrats upon your new duties. If there is anything the Empire can assist with, just contact us."

"Now would be the best time to start. I don't want any unexpected surprises while this is going on."

"Delicious they may be, but that doesn't help if they are also poisonous to us. And I thank you for the congratulations. It is an honor to be chosen to serve in the Dictator's place like this," Soybayun said.

"Have you opened up your Embasy at the Tower yet? That would be easiest."

"Too bad, you really are missing out. Perhaps you could have the list forwarded to you in time to enjoy some of the fruit."

For a moment Chrystal looked as if she was far away but quickly snapped out of it and looked up at Soybayun.

"I have alerted the staff at the Space Tower. You can have the information delivered there at your leisure."

"The Emperor also sends his 'congrats' in light of your promotion. You two should meet at some time."

"He is the most powerful of all the Ta'Nar, in both Psi and Magery."

"Iwo Jima to Admiral Gunn. Results just came in. There's a genetic instability in the DLE rep, but it won't kill him or be dangerous."

"Thank you IJ, Gunn out."

"Don't worry. I'll have it set up in a bit. First, I was just seeing the reps and getting to know who I have to deal with. What is up with the Siesatians? I noticed the Raptors keep a wide berth, the Burmecians keep giving me suspicious looks, and the few humans are all absent. We've always been on good terms with both your people and them, even if we are looked down upon a bit for being a young nation, but this is the first time they've shown open distrust. Hell, we showed up to help fight a war for them."

"I'll try to get a copy of the list from my computers. And I thank your emperor for his congratulations and will take him up on that offer," Soybayun said.

"I plan on taking him up on that. My people need to begin to learn to control our abilities. I'm just part of the first wave of transformations. The others should be done by the end of three years."

Soybayun stopped, turned, and looked at her ship. Tormeta was visible, waving her hands and moving her arms in strange patterns. The diplomatic and happy look on Soybayun's face vanished instantly.

"Something is up. The graviton generator of the FTL drive is acting weird. We've only seen it do this near black holes, and we are unable to isolate the cause. It's definitely not gravity, as it doesn't do that near stars. Our scientists have a few theories, but I'm not that big on guessing when it comes to space. Anyway, as the saying goes, take me to your leader."

"Near black holes? Would you mind if I asked someone to take a look at it? We use singularities as a means of propulsion. If they could be causing interference, we might be able to tweak your engines so they wouldn't be affected."

"When you get that list, forward it to my people and we will have a feast with only those items for when you meet with the Emperor."

"You might want to see what is wrong. I sense strong emotion from your shipmates. They fear something but I cannot tell specifics without switching from passive to active and that would be an invasion."

"I guess you better see what they want. A meeting will be arranged after the signing is done."

"I'll let them know you are anxious to meet with The Emperor. I heard a rumor he might be stopping by."

"I doubt it is your ships. We nearly hit one at one point and didn't notice this. Whatever this is, it started after I walked up to you. But please check it out."

"I'll motion for Tormeta to send a marine with it. I don't want her out in this cold with how pale she is looking," Soybayun said, doing exactly that.

"My people are afraid for good reason. Some of us are beginning to change, the status of our leader is unknown and he may actually be dead and the country to be run by a copy of his program, we just nearly fought a war, and now the key piece of technology behind how we get around is acting up without cause. But, go to active mode for a moment and check if that is it. They know you have telepaths and it is well known you would not do such without my permission. As their leader for the moment, it is my job to look after their well-being and make sure they are not in danger."

"The signing shall be a joyous occasion. It is good to test your military's readiness and ability to follow orders in what appears to be real combat situations without actual combat. Perhaps military exercises between our nations without the soldiers knowing they are performing exercizes are in order. We can set it up so they think the combat is real with the only injuries being minor," Soybayun said.

"I thank you for this."

Bump.

Bumpith

Chrysta looks at the crewman and lets her power flow from her. She directed her consciousness towards the frantic person. The target didn’t even know she was in his mind. She examined every emotion running through him and combed through his thoughts. After that she examined his Aura, finding some bits of “wrongness” that indicated an ailment.

Pulling her awareness back she turned to face Soybeyun.

“It appears he is fearful because the engines are beyond his control. The calculations are fluctuating too wildly for him to make corrections. He also appears to have some kind of ailment. I don’t think it is contagious but I will request some medical help if you wish. I am not an expert.”

“That is a nice ship. I wonder if I can get a tour of it sometime. I have always wondered how so many different races have developed very similar ways to travel.”

"I have summoned a specialist who can diagnose mechanical devises by “possessing” it of a sort. It is hard to explain but he reads the machine like it was alive. It is kind of like Telepathy, but with machines.”


OOC:

Sorry, I had school and other stuff to do today.

Syphera grabbed the small AIESP (Anti Intrusive Extra Sensory Perception) and, in full battle plate, walked back out to the meeting.
"Im sorry, but I am going to need to help out in the jungle, the teams found the pygmies that attacked us last time. We are going to need to establish contact."
She said, sholdering a Neuro-Rifle.

OOC: Balrogga, she generally dislikes the thought of having her mind read, so she grabbed an AIESP.

"Im sorry, but I am going to need to help out in the jungle, the teams found the pygmies that attacked us last time. We are going to need to establish contact."
She said, sholdering a Neuro-Rifle.
"Oh?" Liang asked. He reached down and unholstered the PEP (pulsed energy projectile) pistol on his hip, "Mind if I join you?"

Unless you can prove without doubt that these witches are actually sacrificing people or animals, we will continue to condemn this act of repressive religious crusade.

OOC:

Siesatia- Not scanning your people. Scanning mine.

Vistadin- Please read the topic before replying. It'll save us time and you embarassment.

IC:

"Just as I suspected. Please send your experts, and I'll have my people examine the crew to see what is going on and if we need to undergo quarantine procedures."

"I have a suspicion about that. In particular, our people did not actually develop this method of travel. The ruins of the same empire that colonized our world contained plans for the FTL drive we are using. I suspect that, from the large supply of derelicts in just our region of space, most of these cultures are actually just stealing from previous empires and claiming they developed it on thier own after a few modifications," Soybayun said.

Then she saw the Siesatian return, this time in armor. Normally, Soybayun would not have been suspicious of the creatures. But their actions today made her wish she had not ordered the fleet to return home, as she now suspected she may have to fight her way past a people she once considered allies.

"I don't know what is up with the Siesatians, but they are making me nervous. If they have a problem with me, they bring it to my face instead of skulking around and lying like a bunch of mejnots afraid of their screwups being found out."

"Pygmies, eh? I've heard of such creatures. Is it true they are around just less than a meter and a half in height? If so, I would like to see such," Soybayun said.

"Raptors. Like most reptiles, they come to think you can't read them and then become overly obvious."

OOC:

In the light of a misunderstanding, I think we should give Siesatia a chance to edit the post if he wishes. I will insert my post here when everything is decided.

Vistavan- The situation is being handled. I have agreed to send them to another country. Please leave things that are already being handled.

OOC: It's actually a flaw in her charactor, she can't stand it if she believes someone has the ability to read her thoughts. She thinks its her private domain, and noone should intrude. Not a mistake.

DLE: WARM BLOODED, THEY ARE NOT BLOODY REPTILES, STOP THINKING OUT OF 50 YEAR OLD TEXTBOOKS.
DLE2: Sorry about an outburst, but, as a paleontologist, I can't stand people who think they were reptiles.

Syphera looked over at the weapon.
"Any stun settings? These things are pretty mean, and yes, they are about that tall."

"Attention Delegates! The treaty signing is now about to begin. Please go to the dining hall stage, where a table has been prepare" said the cardinal over a loudspeaker. he was sitting in the middle, the place of honor, With the priest to his right. The treaty was on the table.

OOC:

Siesatia, I know that. My reason for having Soybayun state that is she doesn't. I had planned to include a note of it in the post, but rather forgot it. Also, ironically, the information of them being reptiles can be gotten from textbooks printed as recently as 2002, so the information tends to continue in circulation because people don't bother to update their knowledge to actual facts once outside of high school.

Also, note Soybayun's actions are in character for her and not reflective of my own feelings. I know the reason why, but she does not and cannot afford to make assumptions in favor of anyone with her new responsibilities.

IC:

Soybayun walked, silently, into the meeting hall and took a seat. He eyes were narrowed slightly, as she had many worries going on right now, and this was something she wanted over with quickly. But, diplomats being what they are, Soybayun had the feeling this could take awhile, depending on how stubborn people got. She, meanwhile, was considering a certain change in policy for her nation that would affect it for years to come.

Soybayun was not surprised to see one of her crew quickly entered the building, and even less surprised at what was whispered in her ear before the marine hurried out. It was not news she enjoyed hearing, but not entirely unexpected with the changes happening. That, and she had plans for today that would forever alter the diplomatic path of DLE, plans she now considered too important to not put into place.

As the Crazed Marines diplomat entered, Soybayun motioned that she wanted to talk to him after the treaty was signed. He would be pleased to hear what she had to say. He would be even more pleased if he chose to bring the subject up before the treaty was signed at the sudden shift in policy. After all, a leader has to look out for their nation in times when they are no longer sure they can trust one of their allies even more than in times when they have no allies they doubted.

Admiral Gunn walked in and saw the DLE rep motion to him. He would talk to her after he signed the treaty. Gunn then got out his favorite pen, a laserjet marker that wrote very much like the printer printed.

Syphera shouldered the rifle again as she walked into the meeting area. The event, already being taped, would look interesting on her part, as she was, after all, in full battle plate. And, as par with her luck, it was live in Siesatia, and who knows if the others were recording this.
Had Captain Terrance been here, it would have been up to him. But, it was now time for her to finish the work of her late captain. She also didn't know, that the small AIESP device she had, had been accidentally turned off.

Chrystal entered the chambers and took her seat. She sat there watching everyone, taking in everything she could.

"I see Soybayen is talking to the Admiral. I should have a word with her also to let her know the Technition is examining the ship. " she thought to herself.

Chrysta sat back and watched, occasionally taking a sip out if her glass.


OOC:

She is not scanning actively. She is taking in the chaos of internal voices everyone broadcasts. If you want her to "hear" anything post it in Dark Orange.

"Where is the DC delegate" said the Cardinal

Soybayun signed the treaty and then motioned for the Admiral to follow her. Once they were a bit away from the group, out of what she thought was the hearing range of the raptors, Soybayun turned to the Admiral. Her face shifted to a grim look.

"After how the Siesatians have acted towards myself today, I am no longer sure I can afford to trust them. Since I've been appointed to run DLE while the Dictator is away, I need to make allies I can trust. The Dictator may not have felt your nation worth the risk, but you have been honest with us while I no longer can say the Siesatians have been. If you propose the mutual defense idea again, I'll back it. Even if you don't, I need allies I can count on," Soybayun said.

I hope I am wrong about the Siesatians, but I cannot afford to assume otherwise. They have not acted in a trustworthy way ever since I neared that damn reptile. I just wonder what the Siesatians are up to and why they have chosen their hostile actions.

OOC: Its only been Syphera, and the other few Raptors. The Burmans and humans dont notice. Sorry for the misconception.

The Admiral whispered, "Well, I'm glad you see what we believe in, trust. Here's a datapad with coordinates to meet us after the treaty is singed."

Earth Orbit:

A ship left the Serendipity accompanied by a patrol of Proteus Fighters. The ships flew over the South American continental landmass and dove into the atmosphere after arriving over the Atlantic. Leveling about 5000 meters they continued onward to Cherry Ridge. They flew by The Inspiration just off the coast where it was undergoing refit. The ships entered the airspace of the nation and the fighters broke off and joined the patrols protecting the Summit. The shuttle landed at the designated spot. Several people exited the shuttle and proceeded towards the monastery. A small group walked over to the DLE ship.


The Monastery:

Chrysta sat in her seat waiting for her turn to sign the agreement. As it became her turn, she stood and approached the table with the document. She stopped before the agreement, took the pen in her hand, and looked over the paper one more time to be sure nothing was changed. She then reaches down as if she was about to sign the paper and hesitated for a second. She then set down the pen and looked at the others gathered and announced:

“I cannot sign this document. This is too important for a delegate to sign.”

She turned and left the table as a group of people entered the room. Several Imperial Guards marched into the room and took positions. An old man wearing white robes trimmed with gold floated into the room. He moved over to the table and hovered before the document. His voice, barely a whisper, was easily heard by everyone within the room.

“I have decided to attend the Summit in person. It is important to stress the importance of this event in history to prevent it from reoccurring. It was once stated we are doomed to repeat our actions if we don’t learn from them. Through enlightenment we can avoid the prejudices and ignorance that lead to this moment from ever happening. I, Lord Nhur-Galladu, Emperor of The Balrogga Empire pledge to work towards enlightenment and offer the use of The Inspiration to combat this threat to peace. The decommissioned carrier now lies off the coast of this nation, refit nearly complete into an institution of learning. It will be available to all to use.”

“This I declare. This I mark down upon this document and I sign my name among the others. This I commit my Empire. This I commit all of us in this room or we will all fail.”

Nhur-Galladu picks up the pen and signs his name. He sets down the pen and floated over to where Chrystal was waiting.

Syphera walked over to the treatie. Looking at it again, her thoughts drifted to her capitain, and her other friends who perished when the Freestar sacraficed itself to save Gaia. Had her fighter not been shot down in the battle, she wouldn't be here.
It was not her work, but their's, they should have been here to see it through, not her. Pulling out a quill she had kept for this occasion, she signed her name.

There Terrance, its finished.

And for a second, she could have sworn he was next to her.

The Cardinal looked at the old man.
He then motioned to the priest, Father Mc Andrew who took the paper and handed it to him.
"As ruler of Cherry Ridge,I hereby sign this treaty"
He signed it:
His Eminence Cardinal DeVito
Archbishop of Cherry Ridge
Ruler of The Catholic Cardinalatial See of Cherry Ridge

Liang smiled, for now it was his turn to sign the document. It was incrediby gratifying to witness the birth of a new peace, without bloodshed or terrible suffering. He raised his pen.

Thank you, Michael, for giving me this chance, he thought happily.

"I, High Marshal Liang Wu, serving as representative of New Exodus, do hereby certify that all nations present have consented to the terms of this treaty, and that we affirm our own commitment by singing this document."

With a flourish, his signature flowed out across the page.

"May we all live in peace!"

Soybayun walked back towards the group, noticing the treaty had been signed. She smiled and walked over to Chrystal, curious as to any news. There were a few things she needed to know.

Admiral Gunn started, "Well, now that we're all done I'd like to suggest us going to dinner. My flagship is prepared to host such an event. And don't worry, the dining room is actually cultured. We'll fix whatever you want to eat whether it be chicken cordon bleu or corned beef. I'll even let your crews help decorate the inside to suit your own tastes."

The Cardinal left the building and departed to CR.

Syphera turned to the CM leader... "Ready to go hunting?"

Syphera turned to the CM leader... "Ready to go hunting?"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/UthRptr2/Raptorgun.bmp

OOC: Cool pic

IC: Admiral Gunn said, "I guess I could take a day off. Let me get my Blood Ranger armor and M3 machinegun. I just love that gun. Its as reliable as the M2 and uses the armor-piercing CM99a round."

The priest looked around, somewhat confused. this was his first diplomatic job.
He noticed Admiral Gunn, and Syphera with weapons for hunting.

We walked over,
"Excuse me, could you please direct me to my quarters?" said the young priest.

"Please excuse me. I have another meeting to attend."

Nhur-Galladu floated to an area that was clear of other guests and a crackling aperture opened. Crimson light played across the spectators as he entered. Those who have either used hyperspace or the knowledge of hyperspace were wearing expressions of terror. The aperture closed.

The Imperial Guards returned to the shuttle and waited for it to leave.

Liang was stunned by Nhur-Galladu's departure. "Did he just use a...???"

"Yes Liang, he did. I wonder how he could without being killed." Admiral Gunn stated as his beeper went off.

"Gunn.....You sure? Really? Well, beam me aboard and I'll be there ASAP.....Sorry everybody. My services are needed in Ybronneb. Goodbye."

OOC:

I know what I did. There are things unspoken...

Soybayun looked up at the Balroggan diplomat and motioned her to come over. After all, they needed to talk about a few things.

OOC:

I had a longer post, but it's Thanksgiving and I need a long post for my factbook thread.

Chrystal was watching the approach of The Inspiration as she noticed Soybayun motioning to her. She set down her punch and walked over to the DLE leader. She seemed to be anxious, according to her body language. Chrystal didn’t even need her Psi abilities to see that.

Chrystal approached Soybayun, stopping the correct distance from her. She bowed her head in respect to the leader of the DLE nation.

“What would you like to speak to me about?”


OOC:

Lets take it out of this Thread so it won’t clutter it up so badly, since it most likely won’t involve Cherry Ridge or the situation we just resolved. Here is the address to the Thread I created for it:

Soybayun and Chrystal's conversation (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7558508#post7558508)

Bump: Sorry, my ISP was hacked

The priest walked up to the siesatian commander,
"Where will my quarters be"

ooc- When is DC going to sign this?

Syphera looked at him
"In any sleeping habitation with a clearence level of 2 or less."

"Thanks" the young priest said. "And which ones are under 2?"

"The ones that say Clearence Level 1 on the door" She said irritated at the sheer stupidity, as every door in the building had this written on it in 4 languages, including english and latin.

In the immortal words of Legendary Frog, "What the crap?"

I saw absolutely no point to that last post.

I think it was meant as a lousy [postcount+1]

I complained to the mods for his spamming, check out his previous posts...

"Which building do you want me in" asked Father Rosenberg

'The Cardinal seems to have gotten his revenge...' She thought.
"You can sleep wherever you want, as long as its in a Clearence Level one buiding." She said, before getting an idea. "All of the rooms, of course have a shrine to Reis, and even Cherry Blossem if you are lucky, with the dragon gods looking over you, you're sure to be safe." She said, grinning.

OOC: He used a different tactic in my Merlyns topic, but still spamming something similar. Now he's on my nerves.

I've seen his "intelligent" posting elsewhere too. It really shows his...

well..... HE GOT A 24 HOUR FORUM BAN, so its all good.

ooc- Cardinal DeVito sure did get his revenge

ic-
"Can you please remove the shrine to your 'gods'?" he asked

She Smilied back to him...
"No, I'm sorry, you would have to ask one of the Burmecians you're sharing the room with. And they are also not my gods, I don't believe in God or Gods, now, if you excuse me, I must be off."

"WAIT", he called , "Roommates, I am a diplomat, I am entitled to my OWN room"

"Well, at the moment, space is limited, and with these canibals about we must keep you safe, so, I have you placed with a member of our elite Dragon Knight Unit, Master Dragoon Silverlance should be over in the armoury, or training plaza, you may take the matter up with him." She said, as she followed the small party ahead of her into the woods

He went into his quarters, and saw the pagan statue. He preceded too hitting it with a chair.

Dragoon Silverlance heard loud bangs coming from his quarters. He had only been right down the hall. Running into the room, he saw the young priest raising the chair over the statue again. Quietly walking up behind him, he grabbed the chair as he raised it up to strike again.
"May I inquire to what you are doing, if Reis was here, he would be most displeased." he said calmly.

OOC: Siesatia, you might want to check the Merlyns rebellion topic. You've been attacked.

IC:

Soybayun looked around, curious as to where people had gone. They seemed to be vanishing for some reason...

OOC: It would help if I replied with the right alt...

OOC: Still watching this.

Dragoon Silverlance heard loud bangs coming from his quarters. He had only been right down the hall. Running into the room, he saw the young priest raising the chair over the statue again. Quietly walking up behind him, he grabbed the chair as he raised it up to strike again.
"May I inquire to what you are doing, if Reis was here, he would be most displeased." he said calmly.
"I am destroying this for two reasons. one it is idoltry and paganism. Two, it is ugly."

"Ahh, interesting, very christian, from what I've read in my studies of human cultures, you have a tendancy to do that alot. Well, if you need to know, its not a religious article. Reis, although dead, excisted at a time, maybe 1000 years ago, but he died, I keep this to remind myself of the ancient protectors." He grabbed the chair, and set it back on the ground.
"Besides, that statue is cast from lava, it is seamless, and infused with Viranium, you will long wear out before you even come close to breaking it. Dinner is in the mess hall, in one hour."

"More importantly, why bother with the statue?"

Liang leaned in the doorway.

"For all you know, the statue could have been the Siesatian Jesus, since it would make sense for the Son of God to be on several worlds at once. That sort of thing is a sure-fire sign of divinity. And there is no reason He had to have always been Human, since God created all sentient life."

As if possessed by a sudden impulse of reverence, Liang crossed himself after speaking.

Silverlance nodded to Liang. "Good point, however, Reis, was not divine, he was a protector of the Ancient Burmecians during ancient times, when the humans migrated over from the Forgotten Continent. He died while flying over Alexandria, when the soldiers shot him down. However, then, when they tried to take our land, his death angered the ancient Dragon Knights, and they tore through the armies, with tactics that are said to have made the world shake, one of the enemy survivors said 'it rained, more blades, than water'." He put the chair on the ground after restling it outta the hands of the clergyman.
"It is ancient history, and actually led to peace between the three kingdoms for over 500 years."

OOC: Sorry for crappy post, its been a long day for me

"All life is from earth" he said.

"I will leave it be, if I can put a crucifix up" he said

"Human life is from earth, but there are many species, that are much older, my race included. How do I know this? Genetics. Humans share 90% DNA with the plants and animal organisms on Gaia, Burmecians Share 99%. It is clear who evolved where. Your Race evolved on Earth, mine, evolved on Gaia."

"Interesting," Liang nodded and turned to the Cherry Ridge diplomat.

"I'm sure there is no reason that you could not put up a symbol of Our Lord, and I'm certain that Reis would not have minded sharing a room with a man who extended salvation to all."

"Indeed not, as long as you remember, he was never a god, or a religious figure, this base shall not turn into a religious warzone, Dragon Knights keep a statue of him to remember his mandate, 'Freedom to the oppressed, protection to the weak, justice upon all those who oppose it'."

He picked up the phone. He dialed a number.

"Hello Father Antonette. I do not have my own room. I am a diplomat. Please correct it" he said as he hung up.



ooc- father Antonette is secratary of forign affairs

ic-

Phone Call from father Antonette to Siesatian President

"Hello Mr. President. Father Antonette here. My diplomat on Berchmans Isle is in a room with a roomate. I protest. he is a diplomat, not a soldier. I know you have those nanites. Crdinal DeVito told me about them. He saw them. Don't bullshit me about them not existing. I know they do. The least you could do is give him his own small office. Maybe a little building. An upstairs apartment (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen etc), a downstair office, a spot for a secratary, and a basement and attic for storage. Nothing big. I would greatly appreciate it. "



ooc- forgot to mention this before, a secratary is also there.

OOC: Nanites? I don't remember these.
OOC2: How can you see nanites?

OOC:

If you changed your gender you could room with Chrystal. She wouldn't mind having a room mate. She is a guest here so she would not surcome to vanity and complain.

"An excellent philosophy."

"Ambassador, I would be happy to accomodate you in my transport. The amenities are nothing like this place, and the arrangements are Spartan, but the offer stands, none-the-less."

Tormeta looked around at those examining her, her skin now quite pale and her face having the look of a hunter. Everytime someone approached her, she would snap at them, causing them to flee quickly. No one wanted to get within range of those fangs.

"Sir, by all illogic, it appears the virus has morphed her. She's... she's a vampire. There is no other want to say it. What do you want us to do?" the marine, now acting as a medic, asked.

Before Soybayun could even reply, Tormeta stood up and quickly rushed off the ship, knocking over a marine in the process. She was gone into the night before anyone could stop her. Unknown to them was that she had a chosen target, and would not hesitate to go after him.

"Let the Siesatians know we have a vampire on the loose. They are to capture her and bring her back, alive. But they are also to be prepared in case they are forced to seriously harm her in order to bring her in," Soybayun said, her astral form disappearing as she chose to return to her body.

"I think I will stay here" he said.
He then went outside for a walk.........................

When the commander was informed of this, he issued an alert, and lockdown. Viranium blast shields slid down over all the windows, and only select doors werent sealed. The one's that wern't, were under guard by Sentinals, and had forcefields, only deactivateable by specific voice patterns.
Raptor P4X flew over the forests at breakneck speeds, continuously scanning for the vampire.
A lone Raptor P4X landed in the base camp, where Syphera and company were waiting for the dawn.
"Mam, we're going to cancel this trip, we have a lockdown in the base,and we need to get you back."
"Alright, EVERYONE! Pack up, we have to leave, now."

'What the HELL is going on" he screamed as he ran back inside.

"Lockdown, ask the DLE officers" Came the only responce.

Soybayun strode up to the camp, a small orb of light bobbing in front of her to light her way. She was not pleased, her irritation seeming to foul the air around her. The one thing she did not need is a crazed subordinate on a bloodhunt. Especially one that nobody knew the strengths, weaknesses, or abilities of.

"I need to see who is in charge, and I don't care they're opinion right now," Soybayun snapped at the guards she saw at the door she arrived at, having made just enough time to arrive at the same time as the Siesatian leader.

Meanwhile, inside the compound, Tormeta paused, waiting as people scurried about. She had taken a running jump, making it through a window before the blast shield had dropped. Her eyes, now adjusted to the darkness, did not help her in finding her target. However, she did not know how many guards, if any, saw her enter the window.

bump

* 40,000 feet above St. John Berchman's Isle *

The normal silence and darkness of the night over St. Berchman's Isle was pierced by the roar of jet engines and the wink of formation lights as a Colonial air convoy approached thier landing zone in the sector of the Isle that had been allocated to the Democratic Colonies. 64 F-106 Liberators escorted a dozen C-130 Hercules and a pair of C-5 Galaxies, cutting a wide swath through the cloudy valleys of the moonlit sky.

Commander Claire Delmack, Colonial Navy, Office of Naval Intelligence, Special Operations Section One, shifted uncomfortably in her seat aboard one of the C-5 Galaxies as the massive transport plowed its way through yet another pocket of turbulence. She glanced over at the man seated next to her - a mister Richard Gamble from the Department of Foriegn Affairs. A severe, somewhat tired looking man in his mid-thirties, he was some sort of diplomatic attache that was supposed to operate as her 'co-commander' on the Isle. It was the only compromise the civilian and military elements of the government could reach.
"What do you think?" Delmack asked Gamble, shifting again in her seat.
"About what"? replied Gamble dryly. "About the fact that we had to delay sending up our personel for a month because of some covert operation you were on?"
Delmack gave Gamble an icy glare.
"Office of Naval Intel needed me for an operation - it was of critical importance to the safety of the Democratic Colonies." replied Delmack defensively.
"I'm sure it was." replied Gamble with a slightly sarcastic tone in his voice. "That's why they promoted you to Commander, right?" he said, motioning towards the Commander's insignia that Delmack now wore on the collar of her red leather uniform jacket.
Delmack visibly tensed up as she replied.
"Look Mr. Gamble," she began, "I don't know what sort of things you think that I do for ONI, but I assure you, they were important enough to warrent the delay of our arrival until it was completed."
Gamble slumped back into his chair and dismissed her arguement with a wave of his hand.
This is going to be a long deployment. Thought Delmack to herself. We've got reports of somekind of violence going on down on the Isle and I've been assigned some pencil pushing civilian 'co-commander' from Foreign Affairs. Why oh why couldn't they have sent me on a nice, relaxing beach terrain survey mission or something?
Commander Delmack leaned back into her still slightly uncomfortable chair as the transport plane again ran into a pocket of turbulence on thier way to establish the Colonial presence on St. John Berchman's Isle.


OOC: Sorry if it's a bit short, but it's pretty late where I am right now. I had alot of trouble switching ISPs and getting hooked up at my new apartment, which is why I was offline for a month.

OOC: Meh, dont worry I've been gone for awhile too, your land is open, and I'm in lockdown.

Chrystal walked over to where Soybayun was talking and waving her arms frantically. The aura of concern and fear flowed from her in waves.

“What is the problem?”

“The crewman who was sick seems to have been mutated by the virus into a vampire. She is loose somewhere upon the island. We are searching for her as we speak. Siesatia has imposed a Lockdown.”

“Let me see if I can locate her.”

Chrystal closes her eyes and concentrated upon all those within range (at her power level, it is rated in miles). She “felt” the minds of Soybayun, Dragoon Silverlance, and Cardinal DeVito. The minds of several groups of soldiers were scurrying about with the tint of fear and urgency as they searched for the intruder. There, inside the compound she detected an elusive mind succumbed by feral instinct. The mind was completely enthralled upon the hunt. She could sense Tormeta as she prowled the darkened hallways of the compound.

Chrystal opened her eyes.

“Tormeta is within the compound. She is on the Hunt. We need to get to her before she kills. Follow me!”

Chrystal runs off towards where she could feel Tormeta and her prey.

"I here a pane. Hopefully it is those late DC people"

Soybayun followed Chrystal, running as fast as her legs could carry her. The fact they were longer helped immensely, causing Soybayun to have to slow down several times during the run. Normally, she would not have had to do so at all.

Tormeta watched the door carefully, her eyes on it and wanting to get inside. Her chosen target, the representative from Cherry Ridge, would be a tasty treat. The problem, however, was the guards. She was not sure how to get past them and into the room. So far, luck was on her side.

Soybayun was surprised when her and Chrystal arrived at a door, guarded by Siesatian troops. She wondered slightly if Chrystal was right about their destination. Her question was answered before she could voice it as a strong arm hit her in the back, knocking her into the wall and leaving her sprawled on the floor in a daze. Then, main percieved challenge taken care of, Tormeta turned towards Chrystal and and tensed to strike.

OOC: The target of Tormeta's hunger is the CR rep. Remember that this started before they landed.

Chrystal and Soybayun arrived at the door she was getting the impression of the Prey. The two guards standing outside the door seemed to be unaware they were being watched. They snapped to attention as soon as they saw the two women running towards then. The feeling of curiosity was emanating from them as they tried to see why the two were running.

“Beware of the intruder, she is near. Take her alive if possible.”

Soybayun was looking at the door wondering if Chrystal made a mistake when suddenly Chrystal felt immense hatred and hunger right behind them. The tall woman suddenly flew forward into the wall with a loud smack and slumped to the floor dazed. Chrystal turned as the alien vampire was sizing up the skinny Ta’Nar. Chrysta readied herself without appearing to do so.

After a few seconds Tormeta leaped at Chrystal. She grabbed the vampire’s shirt and dropped to the ground, kicking up with her legs flipping the alien into the air. There was a sickening thud as she hit the wall. Chrystal rolled to her knees and rose in a crouch, ready for what Tormeta might try next.

Tormeta shook her head as she picked herself from the floor. A sizable dent was in the wall where she struck it. Out of the corner of her eye Chrystal saw one of the guards attempting to help Soybayun while the other was trying to fiddle with his communicator. Tormeta saw this and leapt upon the guard, ripping out his throat before he knew what was happening.

Tormeta licked blood from her fingers and grinned, showing her fangs.

“We don’t want any company interfering, do we? You surprised me. I didn’t think you could move like that.”

“It comes from a thousand years of training in martial arts styles from two different worlds. I am considered a Master in many of them.”

“My, my, my, aren’t you the talented one. The blood burning through this body makes me stronger and faster. I can move in the blink of an eye and strike before you can see it, like this…”

As Tormeta said this she blurred into motion, moving with supernatural speed in an attempt to strike Chrystal. Her claws sliced through empty air as Chrystal dodge below the attack and rolled through Tormeta’s long legs, striking where her common Peroneal nerve ran. The pressure point caused her leg to buckle for a second as Chrystal came up behind her. She swung her fist down upon the Suprascapular Pressure Point on her shoulder, stunning Tormeta for a few seconds.

“You may be fast as a blur, but I know what you are trying to do before you even know. That is another one of my talents you mentioned before.”

All over the base, the alarms were madly buzzing, Blastdoors on the inside were now sliding shut. Cordoning off the areas that noone was in.

"What's going on?" Syphera shouted at the tactical officer.

"Sorry mam, sensors all over the base are down, we are blind as a bat."

"Fix it!" She shouted, "I want full temporal Sensor sweeps of the entire base.

"Yessir!"

Only moments later the officer returned with his report...

"The Circuts are fried to a crisp, all over the base, the wires are gone."

"And the Sentinals?"

"Down also, if anyone needs protection from them, they will not activate."

"Damn... Sound general quarters, I want everyone armed to the teeth, Seal off all non essential areas, including the Storage room."


OOC: lets just say you guys are fighting in the storage room so you can have alot of space, little interference, and lotsa extra odds and ends in the boxes.

OOC:


Sounds good. I am waiting for DLE to post. You still have one guard there. Use him however you wish.

DLE:

Take control of Crystal the same way I did with Tormeta. It would be so much easier if messenger worked for you so we could plan this out.

TG me with anything you want included in the battle.

OOC: Pretty much, assume Tormeta will do anything she can to get to the CR representative, even passing up opportunities to take out the others, but is willing to disable or slow you for a few minutes to allow herself some breathing room. She's opperating off of her last memories of before the change and instinct right now. But, she will have to be stopped in about three or four posts.

Also, this explains why Soybayun continues to have a burning hatred of Siesatians.

IC:

Tormeta growled and, rather than try again, chose to run out of the room. She disappeared down the hall quickly, having decided her prey is most important. She decided to try the guard station next, hoping to find out where to head from there.

Soybayun shook her head, still dazed. She had not been hit that hard in a long, long time. But, somehow, she came to the conclusion the Siesations were responsible, not being able to conclude her thinking was a result of the head trauma. It made sense in her mind that they had to be at fault.

"Come, let's go. We have to catch her," Soybayun said, slumping to the floor as a wave of dizziness overwhelmed her.

The guard looked on as the other guard's neck was torn apart by the horrible mutation that was Tormeta.
He raised his Bardiche, a paticularly cruel weapon, especially when coupled with 40,000 Volts. The kind of weapon saved only for the best in the Dragon Knights. Taking steps, not back, or forward, but in a circular motion, so as not to disturb his target. One touch from the spear, no matter how light, and she would be out in a moment.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/UthRptr2/Spear1.bmp

OOC: Siesatia, feel free to call damage on Tormeta. She's more of an NPC now than an actual member of my group.

OOC: Aww, that takes away from the fun of it, It might sqrew up your plot...

OOC: I was supposed to have a plot for this one? This is pretty much stuff I'm making up as I go along. I did, however, cover up one of the plot holes that has been bugging me when it comes to Soybayun. However, the irony of someone familiar with Tormeta failing to stop the vampire while a simple guard armed with one of your spears does is priceless.

And, yes, Soybayun is supposed to seem like a jerk at this point.

IC:

Tormeta paused, looking at the guard as she came out. Growling, Tormeta decided to take out this insolent whelp and be on her way. She paused for a moment and then charged forward, claws swiping to hit the guard right in the neck. Of course, Tormeta did not count on the spear, which she struck at the same time she got within arms reach of the guard. Knocked unconcious by the charge, she dropped to the ground, not to rise for at least twenty minutes.

Soybayun's vision finally cleared and she looked out into the hallway, spotting the vampire on the floor and the guard, having never been struck by the attack the spear prevented, standing near the body. Naturally, Soybayun assumed the two were in this together, but said nothing. She would deal with this later.

while a simple guard armed with one of your spears does is priceless.

Actually, he was a Dragon Knight, my Special Ops forces. The best of the best... Here, since you have acess to the ESUS boards, read about some of the training they go thru...

Ouch. That makes it even worse for the vampire.

Syphera looked on at the comotion around her.

"Sergent, get on the comm, and apraise the CR command of the situation here..."

The Ridgian Government got the message.

They sent a reply,
"Don't Worry, we have it taken care of. A New , just developed weapon. DO NOT SHOOT DOWN THE PROJECTILE"

==========
"General, we HAVE to actiate, we know the coordinates"

The weapon was launched, and set into motion.

The projectile streamed towards the vampire, crashing into its chest.

Umm.... ignored.... Besides, its already unconscious...

It is considered bad taste to announce the completion of a project and use the fruits of the research in a Thread you already started RPing in...

It takes time to design a missile system, as well as the payload. Your multiple payload and delevery system is overy complicated and most likely would take decades to invent and produce. Not much time for a couple minutes of hand to hand combat you don't know about in character within a section of someone else's base. That is not taking into account the research, develepment, and implimentation of the detection system too. All within five NS minutes.

It's no wonder Siesatia called Godmod.

Posted from HERE (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=383729)

Crystal walked over to where Tormeta lay, stunned from the bardiche. She carefully extended her senses to “feel” the mind of the unconscious vampire. The mind was completely at rest, stunned into submission. She wasn’t going to do anything for a while.

Chrystal walked over and knelt next to the undead. She reached out her hands and touched Tormeta on both temples. Chrystal established a contact with Tormeta’s mind and began to establish subliminal controls in order to command Tormeta in case she gets away again. The commands would make her docile and diminish the hunt instinct.

Suddenly an explosion rocked the storeroom, sending crates and supply bins flying in every direction. One of the crates hit a groggy Soybayun, knocking her prone again. The concussion of the explosion tossed the Siesatian guard and Chrystal to the floor, stunned for several minutes.

Tormeta rose into a crouch and looked about her. She say the guard and the two women lying unconscious. She began to advance towards them when the inner voice reminded her about the prey. Hungrily she turned and ran off.

Several minutes later Soybayen stirred, her alien body accustomed to such rough treatment allowed her to recover quicker. She ran over to the other two. Tossing aside a crate that partially covered him, she roused the guard. Then she went over to where Chrystal lay. The young lady was only stunned and woke easily. She looked around trying to locate Tormeta.

“Shit, where did she go?”

“I don’t know. I only saw you two when I came to.”

Chrystal ran off towards the one lone corridor leaving the storeroom. A little way down the hallway there was a door ripped off its hinges.

“Dammit, the explosion must have damaged the doorframe enough for Tormeta to be able to pry it open. Hey, find out what happened and let Command know Tormeta got away. “

The guard grabbed his radio and spoke into it for a few moments.

“It seems Cherry Ridge fired upon the base. The storeroom was the target but the bunker withstood most of the damage. There was minor collateral damage reported.”

Chrystal was pissed. Her eyes turned black and were obscured with shadow, turning them into pits of darkness. A red aura of energy flared into existence surrounding her body. When she spoke, her voice echoed within the minds of those near her.

“The damn cardinal will pay for his treachery in more way than one. He
“The damn cardinal will pay for his treachery in more way than one. He
better hope, no, he better pray Tormeta reaches him first.”
better hope, no, he better pray Tormeta reaches him first.”

Chrystal walked off in the general direction of the Cherry Ridge representative’s quarters. Rubble lying upon the floor moved out of the way or was flung across the room by the aura as Chrystal walked unheeding across the room. She deeply hoped for his sake Tormeta did find him first. It would be easier upon him.

OOC: Due to the attack and subsequent events, I pretty much have counted CR as NPC.

Oh, and the one in this post is not the Cardinal of CR. Tormeta was following the smell of his shampoo, which also lingers on his hat. Soybayun has somewhat blurred eyesight from the concussion.

IC:

To Tormeta, the freedom was refreshing. She was still groggy, but before here now was the way she needed. She had pried open a door before heading the opposite direction, taking advantage of her knowledge of electronics and her immense strength to rip open one of the walls and splice the wires together, forcing the door to open. Then, following her nose, she picked the direction that led to the Cardinal.

An hour later, Soybayun, who had been trying to find the Command, had managed to get herself lost instead. It was to her surprise she heard sobbing, and even more so when she turned the corner and discovered Tormeta, kneeling over the Cardinal's still-breathing body and, despite the blood on her face and hands, looking more like a scared girl than the monster she had become earlier. Tormeta was hugging her knees and sobbing, a flashlight lying beside her to provide light.

"I see you're less of what you were. Explain what happened," Soybayun said.

"I... I lost... lost control. Total control. Just this... this hunger. Just wanted to feed. Now, now, now look at me," Tormeta said.

"I see. You left him still alive. His death by your hands would have been more merciful than the fate that awaits him. So, what do we do now?" Soybayun asked.

"I... I can't go home to my family like this. Please, look after my daughter. Her name is Orbez," Tormeta said.

"I will," Soybayun said, sitting down beside Tormeta and hugging her close. How many hours passed before they were found, neither knew. The Cardinal, now infected with the same virus as Tormeta and doomed to a horrible fate, lay peacefully unconcious, his temperature slightly elevated as his immune system tried desperately to fight the changes going on inside him.

It was a random Siesatian patrol that found the three, surprised to see the vampire subdued and willing to come along peacefully. Instead of the terrifying monster who had killed several in a blood rage, she was now that same scared girl from Harashi who joined the military because it was the only place she could earn enough pay for herself and her daughter. But, the blood on her body, corpses, unconcious Cardinal, and bruises suffered by many spoke to what she had been.

Chrystal, we have Tormeta and the Cardinal. At least, I think it's him. Has the Cardinal's hat, but the clothes are different. Siesatians found us. Tormeta has returned to her normal self, though she has much to answer for. I'm not happy we had to find out what she is capable of this way.

"Where are you? I have some questions I want to ask the Cardinal about his attack”

“I think we are…”

“Never mind, I have a tracing lock on your location. I can now find you where ever you are as long as I keep the lock active.”

Chrystal appeared a few minutes later still glowing with her rage. The Siesatian guards gripped their weapons tighter at the first sight of her in fear.

“Um, madam, we have the DLE fugitive under control. The situation has been resolved so…”

“I don’t want Tormeta. I want him!”
“I don’t want Tormeta. I want him!”


Chrystal pointed at the unconscious form, her arm dancing with crimson flames.

“He is under our protection…”

“I have questions to ask him and I will make him answer them. He will pay for what he has done. I had Tormeta under control when
“I have questions to ask him and I will make him answer them. He will pay for what he has done. I had Tormeta under control when
he or someone he represents ordered that stupid attack. He will be held accountable.”
he or someone he represents ordered that stupid attack. He will be held accountable.”

“CHRYSTAL!”

Soybayun was standing now and shouting at her. That made her stop and listen for a second.

“He already has been made fully accountable. If he hadn’t allowed Tormeta to get away, she would not have attacked him and infected him.”

Soybayun now stood between the Ta’Nar and the cardinal. Her height forcing Chrystal to look away from the cardinal’s sleeping form, allowing Chrystal to calm down a bit.

“As bigoted as he is, he is now one of those people Cherry Ridge persecutes. He is now a vampire and most likely has a talent for supernatural magic provided he is properly trained. Since there is nobody left in his nation who would be willing to admit their expertise in magic, he will have to either come to one of our schools to learn or try it on his own. Either way he will die by his own laws or he will change them. Think what that means to his country and what we have been trying to do here.”

The Psychic energies subsided as Chrystal thought over what Soybayun said. It was true, things have changed forever in Cherry Ridge. There was no going back now. It was also worse this way because the "wonderful" Cardinal will either have to make changes or he will have to live the life of the persecuted ones. It is fitting but less than what she was going to do to him.

“You are right, and he is damn lucky.”


OOC:

I am assuming it was the cardinal that was attacked and not someone else wearing his hat.

The Siesatian guards walked forward, and brought out a small device, and placed it on her neck. The effects were immediate, she lost most of her motor controls, and was caught before she hit the ground.

They carried her to the brig, and sat her down on the bed. Upon leaving, a powershield activated, leaving the Tormeta alone, and isolated from the rest of the base.

It was not long before Syphera reached the brig.

"Tormeta, I would like an explination." She said, quietly, but forcefully.

Tormeta sniffed, and began to tell her the entire series of events, leading up to the biting of the cardinal. She was upset by it all, and even explained what had happened to her.

Syphera sat down next to her.

"Well, I don't think you have much of a problem here." She smiled,

"What... What do you mean?"

"Under Siesatian law, you're free to go."

"How, I... I murdered..."

"While under the influence of a dangerous virus, I also can't charge you for a crime when there is no evidence."

"What?"

"Sensors were down the entire time, with only a handful of witnesses. You have no case against you in my country, however, I am unfamiliar with your own laws, you will be turned over to DLE authorities when they get here. I just hope your own laws are similar to my own."

I am assuming it was the cardinal that was attacked and not someone else wearing his hat.

What is up with that hat anyway?

AGAIN, The Cardinal is NOT in country. That attack is kignored.

The Cardinal wasn't wearing a hat when he signed the document.

Cherry Ridge This user is on your Ignore List.

My responce to CR...
My Suggestion to all....

Congratz CR, not even Hataria, TFU, or Seph made it on my list, you're the first.

The Cardinal isn't in country. he is in an allied nation for a christmas celebration. He wasn't wearing a hat.
That shoots down many things of yours, now doesn't it?

The cardinal wore a hat at one time and the smell of his shampoo was transferred to it. The hat is what Tormeta was tracking due to the smell of the shampoo. Whoever was wearing the hat, which could be worn by anyone who had access to his quarters. A perfect way out for the Cardinal.

The line about him being in another country because of Christmas seems to be an excuse. The last posts you made are below:

These are the posts from the last three pages. You mever mentioned he was out of the country. The last time you stated an action was in post #459 where he ran back inside the base. The base was locked down immediately afterwards so you should not have been able to sneak out without being seen. I see no posts declairing the leaving of your Cardinal.

The whole hat thing was a DLE way for you to have an option out of the Cardinal to get out of being infected. Someone who was wearing his hat (and the smell of his shampoo) was the target of the hunt.

Another thing. The signing of the treaty (two NS days ago at most) did not take place during the winter. We would not have held the signing two days before Christmas. I was under the impression it was during the spring.

If I am wrong then I will admit it and apologize. I also have went under the assumption that it was the Cardinal lying there because of what Soybayun said. Please reread the posts if you do not believe me.

He left the country in another thread. One which Siesatia saw, and tagged. He then came back, and then left again. Either way, Siesatia knew he was gone for part of the time.

Also, the Cardinal left the Island, and I said so. It was the diplomat that was still on the island.

The person that ran inside the base was the diplomat as well.
the thing that says
Cardinal DeVito
Archbishop and Ruler of Cherry Ridge
Ruler of Cherry Ridge and all her holdings


That is my signature, thus the line. The thing about the missle firing was the government in general, not the Cardinal in particular. Hope that clarifies, if you need anymore explaining, just ask.

OOC: CR, this entire series of events has led you to being PermaGNORED by me. You are one of two people on that list. The only other person on it is a known spammer and also responsible for the current beef between myself and DA.

Oh, remember that Soybayun's mental processes are not clear. Her thoughts about Siesatians are pretty much a result of permanent brain damage and will never be reversed.

And, can anyone say which now-famous DLE official is Tormeta's daughter? She was also the one who was in the ESUS trial.

IC:

It was hours later before Soybayun arrived at the Siesatian brig to take Tormeta into custody. During that time she had been trying to calm down her fleet. They were not only ignoring communications from the surface, but were directly attacking CR. The CR military, unprepared for this rapid of an attack, were being quickly slaughtered by the DLE ships. From all reports, the CR government did not survive the first assault, the capital city having been hit by 50 torpedos and bombs at once.

Soybayun herself, shaking her head to clear her vision a bit, was not entirely trusting of the Siesatian evidence. She was sure they were hiding something or would use some excuse to keep Tormeta locked up. Or, if they let Tormeta go, that they were hoping she'd slaughter the DLE soldiers. She wasn't surprised when Tormeta was turned over to her custody.

"Tormeta, normally the slaughter I witnessed would be enough for a death penalty. But, the virus. You will be required to be studied so we can get to know this new virus and how it spreads. But I cannot do more than that," Soybayun said, looking into Tormeta's eyes to make sure she wasn't going to turn animal on them again.

She just hoped, as she led her crewmember back out of the base, that things would soon be under control.

They were not only ignoring communications from the surface, but were directly attacking CR. The CR military, unprepared for this rapid of an attack, were being quickly slaughtered by the DLE ships. From all reports, the CR government did not survive the first assault, the capital city having been hit by 50 torpedos and bombs at once.

OOC: Due to the attack and subsequent events, I pretty much have counted CR as NPC.

OOC: CR, this entire series of events has led you to being PermaGNORED by me.

I do not see any proof to support your claims, as this is taking place back around the time of the signing and not now.

Now, hush while I destroy your nation and move on.

You know what, Im done here. You try to godmod the cardinal to death. You are the godmodders. I am not going to waste my time arguing. I am leaving this RP. Screw it. You are all a bunch of noobs.
Goodbye.

Just ignore him and move on, if he wants to make a fool of himself, so be it.

Now, I need some material to post on. K?

There's dealing with helping getting my fleet under control. After all, they just went on a rampage.

I'm not allowed to do anything to your fleet under our ESUS contract. Trust me, I had already thought about it.
