The Imperial Council was together in a private meeting. The room was checked for bugs and scanners and anything else that might spy on the procedings. The Imperial Marine Core Commander Prince Alfred Von Antheron was agrueing his case that the Marines could have made a difference in the Gaian Deatharon War if the Marines had their own StarCommand fleets to defend their territories to begin with. Alfred argued the Marines could have brought the Fight to the Gaians while the Imperial Space Navy could have defended the Home land. The Princess Maria Von Antheron (recently brought back from the dead) replies as Imperial Republic Supreme Adrimal I can personally assure this council that my Brother speaks falsely his Marines could not have saved us. the Gaians outnumbered us and outgunned as it would have been stupid to keep fighting. Alfred replies give me a two years to build the Imperial Marine Starcommand and we will have a wargame between the Imperial Republic Navy and the Imperial Marine Starcommand. Maria states, agreed. The Council looks at each other and votes to agree to allow the Imperial Marine Starcommand to become part of the armed forces. Billions of Imperial Credits are being poured into this new project.

Being in command of another nation's welfare, as well as having unlimited access to communications channels, meant the Gaians Intel Networks within days, not to mention all the funds being transfered, as well as a good amount of Gaian tech with it in places, meant Lady Funaho was very well appraised of the situation..

...questions of certain elements by Spec Forces and Intel personel, got a better picture.

After that, the Gaians simply lay back and see what this new force would become. The Gaians had their own answer waiting, once the new project entered testing phase down the road.

..this began a Gaian vein of the project, that would push it even farther and 'better' than they originally intended.

Prince Alfred was in the Skarr system. The main planet was where his first fleet was being constructed. The ship designs were found on an old military outpost run by Nietzscheans. The Same race who's D.N.A. runs through every Marine. The planet was drained of all useful info and the planet was destroyed thanks to a Naquata Nauderia warhead. The Info was secert and only the builders and the high ups knew about it so far. The first fleet was nearly completed it would go to Panther Pride. The next step will be to build four more of these fleets in time for the wargames.



OOC:
The Deatharon Empire orginated from the Andromedia Galaxy, but after the fall of the systems Commonwealth. The planet the people of Deatharon lived on started going crazy with a facist like dicator who had everything killed by sending them to far off Penal colonies that would execute them. that was not part of his master race. The End result was the Deatharon Empire that landed in the Antaries Galaxy. That is why most of our stuff is Andromedia related.

Transmission to the Deatharons and Gaians

Greetings I am Lord Xanatos of the Shadow Sun Crime Syndicate and I would be willing to assist you build you fleets in exchange for trading partnership. Have a good day.

End Transmission

A return signal was sent with the following:

~ :: All external nations will please refer messages meant for Deatharon, to the Ascendancy as well, as Deatharon is currently under our Protectorate for a ten year period, as a result of a concluded peace treaty after the Deatharon-Gaian War.

All such 'offers' must be overseered by our officials at the same time, as part of the treaty, as such to prevent any threat of destabilization. Such we will 'not' allow.

Thus, we ask that such be honored, as Deatharon borders are our own as far as the Protectorate is concerned.

Regards,

CORPS, not CORE.
And don't invade me for pointing it out! :-)

OOC: How did all these Nations breach security I can understand how the Gaians did it but not the others. We have been keeping this project in the Dark so to speak. and no I wont invade you because you want me to change the name to corps but I will leave it as core since this is my nation and thus my armforces branch to name as I see fit unless the Gaians have a problem with it.

IC: The first fleet was near completion the head of internal Security was secretly executed for letting the breach of security out. The offer to help us construct our new fleets was accepted but with the recommendation of keeping it secret and silent.

((OC- Remember ye bud, this term to place in a title name bar, the next time you want to have a relatively secret type thread of some kind: 'Secret IC'

..works well enough. =^^= ))

OOC:
I will remember that next time.

IC:
The First fleet was ready and was gifted to Panther pride by the Imperial Marine Commander Alfred Von Antheron. The Second Fleet was now under construction and would take many more months to complete. The other four prides waited patiently for there chance to fight in space and on the ground.

(Ok, now that you two love birds have agreed this is a secret meeting Deatharon established to agrrange funding and to seek possible allies. For the intent purpose of open rebellion against the Gaian Ascendancy, because unless Gaian Ascendancey forgot to write a charter forbidding the conquered nation of Deatharon from creating anything more then a self defense force. They still have a millitary force in which to fight with, so now that that's finished do you think we can get on with this? I want to know how it turns out, and secondly I'd like to see if my nation can have any part to play. If so Deatharon, then you will meet with Major Tru'yula Kyu'tra of the Draconis Federation Intelligence Department, Shadow Opps Division. We can discuss how you will meet with her later via Telegram, as for now I'll leave all other discissions to Deatharon, not Gaian Ascnedancy, even though you are a conquered nation you still have the ability to fight back. Oh and no disrespect Gaian Ascnedancy but perhaps you should make you conquest complete.)
(If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete. - Sun Tzu
"Revolutionary war is an antitoxin which not only eliminates the enemy's
poison but also purges us of our own filth." - Chairman Mao Zedong)

((OC- Is the 'only' type of conquering anyone thinks about, is the kind that destroys everything and obliterates a fighting force? If that was the Gaian intent of the invasion, then the Deatharon military would have been utterly reduced all the same in the first place.

Sheesh, NOT everyone is a sadistic enemy force that intends to destory all life and everything. Dang, there's already too many nations acting the 'destroy everything' concept. Besides, and in the end, (no offense Deatharon..) it's only 18 Systems to 'help' govern over.

Can ANYONE hoestly try and look at this occupation, as anything except a rp version of an Iraq insurgency? Hell, we entered the war using weapons 'not' intended to kill, and everyone I seem to rp with, conviently thinks that Gaian weapons kill, WHEN I SAY IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT THEY DON'T!!!

Can't a giy rp a nation that is a nice guy, and still be bad ass, without killing everything? And the quotes I need not. Anyone can pull them off a book or internet site and try to prove a point..

....then 'try' and really prove a point most people don't want to approach, especially when destroying everything is supposedly easier.

So, let's try another quote.. "It's always been easier to destroy, than to create.

~ Mr. Spock
The Wrath of Khan"

Heck, I find it more rewarding to fight to 'not' to destroy everything. Even more to fight to keep souls alive however possible, not just kill them and think it solves anything. It just doesn't...

..and this from a guy that thinks the RL Death Penalty has a place. Even so, life as MORE of a place, and that's what the final goal of my entire nation is all about, even with the massive military and far reaching goverment, the end is to make a nation full of good guys that can have the same effect as a nation full of bad guys.

So, if there's an uprising, then ye all might be suprised at the result.

(..and yes I used a movie quote. so be it.) ))

(No your weapons just enslave, that's much better. "It's a better life to serve your master then it is to serve yourself and those you care about."

In all intents and puposes you enslaved another race, and the Draconis Federation as well as many other nations do not stand by and let such an action go unpunished. You are nothing better then a tyrannt, and must be removed from all those nations that do not desire your pressence.

You have a week 'real time' to remove all forces from Deatharon space, or else you will face the full fury of Draconis Federation and her allies.)

The problem with that logic, is that there are 'no' slaves in Deatharon of our making. There never was once we 'liberated' them. In fact is was from the word of several Deatharons themselves of conditions that were 'as' enslavement before we arrived, and were 'asked' by them to liberate these worlds as a result.

Sorry, but we will not leave, as accorded by the peace treaty, and whatmore by the Power of Hikari be extensia. If you attack, then you are attacking a Portectorate of the Ascendancy, and we 'will' defend the Deatharon people.

Whatmore, we are 'sick' of being labeled as no better than anyone else. What the hell does everyone think of us, the 'same' as everyone else!? By the goddess we are 'not' going to be bullied out, not be told that our acts are wrong, or that our methods create a situation, off of the mindset of another civilization that thinks 'they' are any better than we are.

The Ascendancy didn't come to conquer these people, they are not slaves, and they are our allies as far as we are concerned. That alliance wasn't made for us to gain anything, it was made to SAVE the Deatharon prople! Or does the Draconis Federation believe they know what morality 'really' means. We also didn't invade to gain territory or gain resources. We command over 3,000 Systems in several galaxies. To gain more from the Deatharons is meaningless, as 18 Systems isn't worth that, not even do we CARE for their resources for our own. We are NOT greedy, and we do not CARE to gain further. However simply withdrawing from Deatharon now, will not gain anything but possible chaos. Unitl a certain stability is achieved, governed by auspices that ensure that 'no' Deatharon action is taken to cause harm, then that 'will' be the time we withdraw, not before.

Moreover, is it your and your allies intentions to return Deatharon to a dictatoral state, where most of the population suffered under the greed of the Royals that previously, abused that power, and their people, in the wat you supposedly fight against? Make sense of your intentions, with 'both' feet on the floor of the discussion.

If that is your intent, then attacking liberators will gain you nothing but further scorn, and your allies to become a party of returning power to a dictatorship.

The lay road that is seen as bland and straight forward, may instead, may have more turns and bumps than you would think. We considered that when we invaded to liberate Deatharon, and we still consider that as we defend it. As we help govern it, as we help impove their quality of life, expand their technical prowess, and give a life that they 'didn't' have previously.

And you would invade yourselves to return things to a previous state? Have you all no shame? Disgraceful is your thinking, and too narrow minded your logic if you cannot think so objectively.

A week hell, by the goddess, a week, a day, and hor. Invade, and there will be 'no' bulkwark against our wrath, no matter 'what' size your forces may be. There is an active peace treaty, and a Protectorate we are here to defend. Our gain in the end is to protect Deatharon lives, not harm them anymore. The past cannot be chainged, and when we lost 250,000+ Gaian souls during a Dominion attack on our Homeworld, we saw that as just payment.

So do attempt military action. You may underestimate who you face. You also underestimate our resolve and anger.

There is still time however to withdraw this threat, for it will have no gain, and still have a way to befriend each other. We do 'not' seek a war against you, but a more peaceful resolution to this all.

We stand by who we are, and what we do. Appology for acts is said, but however keep our honor of word, as a blood oath. Thus we stand as who we 'are'..

..The Guardianship.

The Gaian Holy Council (spoken as one)

((OC- And give some warning between shifts of OC and IC would ya, it makes it a little confusing.))

Consul Tyu'ial Riq'yui

Yes, those are the exact words of those that live by such foul means as enslavement. They say they mean well until they are finished destroying the old government, then they take over and are more destructive and cruel then the old regime. If you truly mean well then you will have no problem with them becomeing entirely secular, and establilshing a proper alliance instead of your forced confederation.

If you are so afraid of chaos then give them more power and secularization. For if you do notm then you are not holding true to the goal you declared, if you beleive that people do not have the right to make a choice for themselves. Then you know nothing of morality, and are no judge of sencied morals.

Then speed your recreation of the Deatharon state so that you may leave them to their own desiscions, and when they are free again what works and morals you have installed in them may weather the storm of ignorance and hate. Or are you so cowardly that you'd enslave a state just because you're afraid of what might be rather then what will be.

And do not make threats, for those who know little of real millitary service have no idea what a foe we can be.

Are you through twisting words to your own ends? Apparently no amount of words will show how our intentions will proceed in the long run. You suggest a quick fix, and then make us out as inferior as to show yourselves as the betters, then when things, with the actual possibility occuring, turn sour, then can point the finger back at us for fault.

So we offer a 'better' solution over words. We will send a representative, to face your own representative, in a one on one duel to determine the final fate of this question. Instead of threatiening war, if you believe your own words so much, then prove them with honor at stake.

Choose your champion to face our own, and resolve this matter in the Clan way of honor. Since you intend hostile act from the sound of it, this would solve that probability as well, at the same time as preventing needless battle over an issue neither side will back down from.

The Gaian Holy Council (still as one)

No, we merely beleive that you have not kept up with your goal to return control of Deatharon over to it's citizens and not your central government. And if you beleive that we have, some how reduced you to inferiors through pointing out flaws in your diplomatic process, than perhaps you were not superior to begin with.

You would reduce this diplomatic skirmish to mortal combat to prove your point through force. That only proves your unworthiness, and would only further inflame hostilities between our peoples. If we can not persuade you with words, then will have no other means other than the one you have so 'brutishly' offer.

Draconis Federation Council,
the Represenitives of the People

OOC: The Prince Alfred is trying to start a coup agaisnt the Republic since he sees it as a threat to his future and power as the next Deatharon Emperor. The Current Emperor Akarth Von Antheron is supporting Gaian rule and so is a Large percent of Deatharon pop. however many of the Nobles and the Marine Prides see the Gaians as a major threat and want the old ways back. The Nobles for their power back. The Marines Loyality to the old Regime. Prince Alfred is trying use his genically engineered Marines so he can overthrow the Imperial Republic like the Nietzscheans did to the System Commonwealth. (Yes I based my Nation on the Andromeida series.) hint he plans to do it during the wargames.


IC:

The Second Fleet is being built in the Nieos system it will be sent to Cougar Pride upon completion. Prince Alfred is now wants to gain allies in the comeing attack on the Imperial Republic space Navy. The problem is the Gaians could stop the Marines surpise assault and ruin the plans. He starts sending agents to other nations to look for possiable allies in the assualt. Prince Alfred will soon rule Deatharon and overthrow his Father. The real problem will be the Emperor's Brother Grand Duke Mavis Supreme Lord Commander of the Military. Alfred would have to do something about him.

Is there a common ground we can reach that can prevent battle? It proves useless for either side to make the other side listen, nor do you understand our cultural aspects, those you just said makes us 'brutish'.

The main problem we face here, is that you want a quick fix for a situation than has no such thing in the first place. If we cannot find common ground to conduct relations on a more peaceful level, then it'll bog down into a situation that ends up only causing more of a mess than you seek to fix.

We conduct the Clan Trial system within our own forces, to deal with disputes, where otherwise would fester and cause more dissent. We also offered the challenge, to 'avoid' loss of life. However we have become aquainted with your nation in light of this dispute, and you seem far more 'equal' in strength, to be pushing agendas on a nation that will 'not' bow to pressures, based on the belief that only 'your' viewpoint will win out.

Neither side will win anything if war erupts, most of all the Deatharon people. Know that these discussions are being relayed for 'all' other nations to see, in realtime no less, and as such, it will be inevitably more than just our two nations that look upon this and judge who is the proper. We were indeed poor form to invade in the first place, and as a result, took the Deatharon people as our responsibility, not as assets as you accuse us of. In the end however, most of all, no matter what else is said or done, know simply this..

..at ten years, no one second longer, and not before we have finished our goals for the betterment of Deatharon, will we then leave whole and enmasse, though functionaries will remain. To leave before hand will 'not' occur, not because we don't trust the Deatharon goverment, 'which we kept in place and intact', but simply we don't trust them enough yet to hold their word to treat their people with far more equality than they most certainly did not do so before. This must be a certainty before we leave, or everything we have done to blemish our name would have become even FAR more damaged.

There are far many more events at work, and many more souls in the great act, than just our three nations. Do not think that you have all the answers, or that we do, or that ANYONE does. What the end result becomes of, is that a continuous trial and error is in place every single day and cycle. Which decisions become the easy ones, which the hard, and which the fatal. These and too many more avenues, aspects, veins, and more, become the final accord where we look back and call history, and try with our pathetic might to judge in hindsight, which of the points in history were fortuitous, and which were flawed.

....and these are ALL subjectively skewed by individual nations, and individual souls within them. Thus, you call what we have done, the act of a savage nation, while others see it as what we saw it, liberation. How then will the final call be, if you invade to 'supposedly' liberate Deatharon to remove us, that you are doing any good? How do 'we' know you will not do the same to the Deatharons that you accuse us of? How does anyone predict any act that they 'think' can be predicted, when in fact, no one can even predict anything, no matter what powers of the kind they may harbor.

In the end, the real power revolves to the very stars and existence we take for granted everyday and wake to, a universe, filled with worlds and events we try to cope with, and think we can have actual control over.

To say we can do that, is a fools wish. We are not blind to that. And in the end, we scorn ourselves far more than you may try to do, or persuade others to the same end. And all these fancy words and phrase have an endpoint.

We learn by mistakes, and stand by our words, as well as the script we wrought by our own hands upon parchments of many kinds. By them, we hold our ground against those that say 'they' know what justice is, and what they 'think' is the solution for every problem.

By that ground, we will 'not' be word slapped, or bullied into bowing to pressures that others many not fully comprehend, and only see as one would do with only a few glanced pages of a book they think they know well, missing the greater details within. Thus, and flat out bluntly, we say you are wrong in your entire stance Draconis Federation, and unless you wish to drag a war into existence no one wants..

...back down. Back down, and find that common ground with us, and find a way to ensure a solution occurs that does no endanger the very people you say we enslave.

...for if we were enslaving them, then we already have 'enslaved' our own entire civilization by the same fate, for the acts done to the Deatharon souls, are the 'same' done to our own. No more or less...

The Deatharon people are 'our' responsibility. And if given an 'honest' by goddess damned chance, you adn every other nation will see, that our objectives ARE what we set them out to be.

And be careful with your next words Draconis Federation. Our stance is said, and there are no loopholes otherwise. If you react in any way to continue to argue along the same lines as previously, then it is presumed that 'no' other solution is chosen 'but' war. And in that case, it becomes the question of how you wish your own nation to be seen. Peaceful, or warmongering, in the name of a crusade that doesn't have to take place.

The Deatharon realm, is at 'peace', and that 'peace' will not become 'war' by our account.

Do choose your path with wisdom. If you do not attack, there will be no Deatharon lives lost, so in as much as we can contriol such to all our ability and capabilty at our disposal.

Common ground may or may not be reached at this time, but given further diplomatic contact, we may very well one day mark this day as a memorial day to remember the meeting of two spacial super powers.

Very well then in ten cycles you will remove all forces from Deatharon, even if you have yet to acheive you goals, if you do not leave the nation of Deatharon, the Dominion of the Draconis Federation will resort to millitaristic means to remove your presence.

But it is not your place to judge another culture to your or anyother's standards. They have obviously been doing what they have been doing for generations before your arrival, and were able to maintain stability. That proves that even without your proposed 'aid' they will manage without your presence.

There is no continous trial and error with a race that has perfect memory. A race that can remember to the first known sensient ancestor, a race that can remember it's creation, does not make continous tral and error, we have long ago discovered a pattern that holds true to all pyshics, and that pattern states that stability will always remain with the strongest force within any enviroment. Stability is power, and vica versa, so if a society must be restrictive to survive at that time, we have no right to change it to fit our veiws.

No, you still have misconceptions that their are such forces as good and evil, you still have an outmoded and outdated view on the purpose of society. While you may say that our invasion would be evil since you are good, and in your words we would have beleived what we did good and what you do evil. The truth is, that you upset a delicate order the universe has about it, and we mean to correct that order, even if it means milltaristic methoods.

Then by your own words you are all slaves, but by our words you are merely confused by the misconceptions of outmoded and ourdated views that once would of had a purpose, but no long have purpose in the Draconis Federation or in greater asspect the unirverse.

You speak of 'peace' as if it is a good thing, the truth is that a planet at peace is dead, a culture at peace is in decline, and a person at peace no longer has the will to continue. So do not speak so enthusiastically about the word 'peace' and it's place in an active society.

And your conncepts that we have no other way to fight wars without killing is disturbing to our general concensius.

Neo Zeta had been able to intercept some of what had been going on. Enough to get the picture and Sensui and Blue Cosmos took this chance to postion them selves. Blue Cosmos and Neo Zeta calls the occupation of Deatharon into question. We see the forceing of laws held by one nation on to another a violation of galactic law. It is the same thing old empires of earth who clamed they were freeing other nations bcuase they "knew better". Such empires as Rome, Nepoliens France, Nazi Germany and the USSR. Such actions are illegal. We ask that the Gaians step down as the only nation in the occupation. And allow a multi national councl be put in charge of overseeing the reconstruction.

I agree with Neo Zeta's proposal of a multipile nation council to fund the reconstruction of Deatharon. But I do not believe any millitary force should be sent to the surface of Deatharon that does not origanate from Deatharon itself. If it pleases the Gaian Ascendancy, I propose as in advancement of finding a 'common ground' between all our nations that a international fleet be positioned in orbit of Deatharon, while all major and minor land forces be removed that are from an alien power. If we have concensus, we will see this as an act of good will and advancement in diplomatic proceedings.

Regards,

Consul Tyu'ial Riq'yui
Draconis Federation Council

The Represenitives of the People's Will

We will allow this, if it proves that the effects are not the same as Neo Zeta and Draconis Federation are so fearful of. It should be agreed that 'any' allied fleet that helps in the occupation, do 'not' cause events that cause a schism of any kind, based on the possibility of acts that only benefit certain 'aspects' also at the base of this argument.

Stability must be maintained, and a proper and unified mind in practice, or this idea will not be allowed. The worry of our own end becomes that too many opinions will prevent the reconstruction to proceed, in essence held hostage because events that do not agree to all parties.

..and whatmore, how can we be sure than when we leave, that all other allied fleets do the same? IF any of this is to be conducted, then a diplomatic function 'must' be held that all this can be properly discussed.

As to the Neo Zetan position, you again try to place us as no better than other nations in history. Insult us if you must, but it was the Blue Cosmos actions on Deatharon Prime at the end of the war, ones that 'your' forces caused in the precipitation of a violation of an in place cease fire, that killed Deatharon citizens, as well as learned of stances of this Blue Cosmos organization, that conducts acts, retroactive of their very own words.

Before you condone us to any such veins, it would behoove your organization to prove it's better nature, and not accuse us of things, that put yourselves in a better light, costing us the same, during a time that 'we' are the ones expending resources to allow the Deatharons to recover. Before we fully acquiese to your demands, we wish to hear these words from Emperor Jayce, and the 'proper' governing entities of Neo Zeta, of whom we made the alliance between our two nations, and 'not' from a voice of one we obviously cannot trust due to deomstrated acts.

We listen to the Neo Zetan PEOPLE, not the voice of one that holds nothing but contempt and discord upon it's tounge, and hereby hold our previous stance until we hear from the 'actual' voice of Neo Zeta, as well as are assured that this concept will not harm the Deatharon people.

Until then, and upon such an agreement, we hold our previous stance, to prevent destabilization. If anyone needs an example of our worry to this end, look at the Star League that once existed in the Talos Galaxy, where the core of the FACAF exists. It was 'their' greed, avarice and discord that caused the fall of an entity that did 'not' need to be torn down, even in the wake of the Amaris Civil War. The end result was the Four Succession Wars, and the Clan Invasion, with all that death found as the root cause from this one act..

..caused by squabbles due to personal greeds. If this is the result this concept seeks to prevent, then this discussions offered have to make of this understanding, for the rend result we have stood by all along, have to succeed, as well as be conducted with 'no' gain to any side save the Deatharon people.

Otherwise, the concept is a waste of time. Thus we stand by.

...as well as the fact we are better than the examples put alongside of our name. Period.

The Second fleet was finally completed. two down three to go. This process was moving slower than Alfred Wanted he needed to catch the Republic off guard to overthrow it. The intelligence reports indicated that many Governments were getting involed into the operation which meant the Gaians will be on alert and so would Mavis. Alfred gives an secret order to Mavis's bodyguards. (marines from Panther pride) to kill Mavis. The Marines upon the next day launch the assination attempt. The Third fleet is now under construction and is 3/4 done it will go to Pride Manticore.

Obviously if there is one voice speaking out, then there must be others who agree with that person and believe the same thing, and if you continue to separate a world into different factions because they either agree with you or do not, then you do not belong there in the first place.

And as for diplomatic talks, until such talks can be made openly, we will be forced to suspend all interplanetary transportation to and from Deatharon by enacting a blockade, until future times were diplomatic discussions can be held aboard a Federation or Gaian flagship.

If you have a problem with the blockade, then I suggest that you begin diplomatic talks as soon as reasonable.

And lastly there will be no occupation, under threat of war. If you are in need of resources or need extra living quarters, I suggest you make arrangements with your home world. You have exactly sixty-four standard hours to remove any temporary fortifications, and return your soldiers and equipment to your ships. If the allotted time is not sufficient then we will negotiate for an extended time frame.

At the exact moment the Consul finished his statement, a large sized fleet consisting of twenty-six M1-SP9 Space Platforms, twenty-six M2-HC8D Heavy Carriers-Drago class, and a full contingent of Mobile Armors, Interceptor Drones, and Support Craft, translocated into position around the planet Deatharon.

They appeared on sensors and in view without any sign of their arrival, as if they had already been there. There wasn't even a sign of the deactivation of camouflage as one would have suspected, but instead due to the psychics behind the act of translocation, there would never be such a sign.

OOC:
Are you blockadeing all 18 Deatharon Systems or just the Deatharon system?

(Just the Deatharon system, it's more a political act then a millitaristic. So don't worry, we won't attack unless you do first.)

Blue Comos sent its reply We will NOT be blockadeing the systems cuz we know that in no way will stop the Gaian fold drive. It would be a wast in money and raise tensions. Our offer still stands on a multi national council. The Neo Zeta council voted to support this idea however the emperor is still unable to be reached.

Worm holes open in the Deatharon System as ships from the new Panther Pride fleet come out and immediately take defensive positions around Deatharon Prime. The Local Defenses immediatly go on high alert.



OOC:
The Site of all those ships in the capital system of Deatharon have the Emperor just a little edgy on your intentions (The Marines are trying to make the Imperial Republic think they are loyal.)

There was no Gaian reply to the last message, as this time, the Gaians felt that they had been ignored all along, that no matter what message was sent of proposal offered, the Draconis Federation was intent on this act with every intent to humiliate the Gaians.

..of the Gaians allowed this to go unchallenged, then the Guardianship would lose all credibility, such so that when the Ascendancy invaded another realm that everyone 'did' acknowledge as a nation that needed to be 'fixed' then the Gaians would again be seen as the bad guys.

Hell, the Gaians were sick of being labeled as weak nobodies that acted no better than a tyrannical regime.

...that of which the Gaians despised the most above all in a nation.

Strategic and Tactically speaking however, the Draconis Federation's little stunt was worthless to them as a tactical ploy. The message was sent clear and loud.

But the Gaians still had at least half of their invasion forces within the Deatharon Realm, as well as another 7 percent in established colony worlds nearby from as near as 7 light-years away, such those that the Gaians and Deatharon citizens were developing together. In fact, the Gaians had discovered for Deatharon colonizarion, no less than 80 new Systems for them to colonize, in Systems the Gaians 'didn't' colonize. Some less habitable ones were in the process of terraforming, and the ones makeed with present populations already veered away from.

..hence why 80, instead of 271... nice round number.. The Gaians held only 21 Systems of their own Coreward of the Deatharon Republic, and had already emplaced a massive amount of prefabricated units for cities, factories, space yards, space stations, and more, within the past few months. Gaian genetic sibikos were also pumping out full blast, as new Angel Gods, Steel Angels, and other souls meant both for civilian and military occupations. Droids and more artifical citizens of the Ascendany also were quite busy, and together, whay should have taken years, was done in months. They all even lived with relative comfort.

Hence the Gaian Antaries Military Arm was a touch weaker than the invasion force composition was.

But the massive amounts of Kushan-Droid Fleets, and the slowly integrating Droid Army Forces were giving serious bulk to the teeth of what the Gaians promised all along. With the Deatharon Realm as a Protectorate, the FACAF Allied Commands still had most of their invasion forces present.

Hundreds of RCT Regiments and Clusters ares still on the surface of all worlds, doing their damnest to put a seriously kind face to the Upgrade of the Deatharon society. The Recovery was already over with, and it was now the infusion of Gaian teachings and technology that was trying their hardest to give the Deatharon people the serious chance that their own leaders hadn't given them. Such programs such as imposing Deatharon peoples and their leaders into a series of hometown discussions, so as that the leaders 'know' their people, instead of living with what they 'think' of them. Even 'mutants' are invited, so that all sides can look at each other in the eye. However this was about the only thing 'forced' on the Deatharon people..

..having to look in their own mirror of society, and truly ask themselves if what they had been living under previous to the invasion, was honsetly right. It's too damned easy to turn a blind eye to those under you, and call them inferior, when you don't even try to look.

The Gaian programs of civil equality was out to change all that. To change all that would mean the acts of barbarisim that had existed before, would be far less likely to happen again. More over, the Deatharon people were taught that 'they' held the real power in the Imperial Republic. If they held enough pride in themselves, and the knowledge that their leaders could even 'have' the their luxuries without the people's assistance, then is called to the fore who the 'real' power belonged.

Gaian look at their own hands everyday, and know that 'they' are the ones that make the Ascendancy run, as does every advanced nation of standing. Without those people, there is no nation.

And that is taught over and over again to the Deatharon people. However, they are not taught this to revolt over their leaders, but more for both sides of the equation to understand their place. The leaders indeed still had a place, hence why the Gaians left them in place. But the Gaians expected with serious honor to their word, to learn to love with theiir people, not lord them over with greed on their minds.

A more symbiotic relationship is what the entire end result is worked for, and in the end, that symbiotic relationship will transform the Deatharon realm, from a Protectorate of 18 Systems, to an Imperial Republic of thousands of Systems, with a sense of fair justice instilled, and not the expectation of greed along side.

It's all a hard anf laborious process, and the Gaians sepnd all the time necessary, getting their own hands dirty along side the Deatharons. Gaian leaders do the same along side Deatharon's own, and it's by that example that the Gaians work to gain their trust...

..and the short sighted Draconis Federation intends to impose their will by a show of military force. Instead of trying to understand by more amicable means, they turn the situatiion into a military action by deploying assets to try and bully the Gaians out.

Hence why orders were given by local Fleet Commands, and Touman Forces to step up to a war footing, and all Gaian built assets in the area, including four Ionic Defense Platforms, and Six already present Fleet Groups, to Fold into position from whereever they were..

...within twenty minutes, the Gaians had over a thousand vessels in the System, with everything aimed at what they saw was a violation of the Protectorate. Worse what the Draconis Federation demanded, was unfeasable by logistical standards of operations doctrine.

It would take at 'least' a week to bring up forces that had taken only hours to deploy, and that doesn't include fixed assets and such. Bunt in anycase, the Gaians would 'not' be forced out at the point of a sword.

But even with the vast forces deployed, the real trick was the promissed Hikrai Power effect. The Fleet was commanded into position, then held it's ground.

...as Hikari users then 'asked' the Hikari Power that protected the Protectorate, to begin acting.

As a result, large bands of energy form around in a static arragement around 'every' DF asset deployed, these bands take the form of solid light energy, comprising of massive kilometers long 'feathers' of the Angelhawk. Three Wings each form the coalesed bands, and then calmly surround and encapsulate the large DF masses (stations and what not..) and trapping them as a result in a Angelhawk bubble of energy that you can forget trying to fight out of.

DF fighters caught within the bubbles are trapped as well, and those external have to face at least a 5 to 1 ratio of Gaian Aerofighter assets that deploy, most of which are droid fighters, but more than enough mortal piloted are interlaced.

And on top of all this, two assigned SSDs, and a Kushan-Droid Mothership soon Fold in from the Core Republic with another two Fleet Groups in tow.

In fact, by the time a full half hor of this is passed, over twenty Fleet groups are either present or slated for Fold Jump deployment into the area, as well as to the other Deatharon Systems.

..within an hour, the entire Gaian military machine is on full alert, and on a war footing, no matter where they are stationed. And the Gaian 'don't' appreciate the treatment they have been given. The 'entire' conversation is also broadcast loud and clear to all nations that will listen, as well as the following message sent to the DF forces enmasse.

Deatharon wise and beyond.

The message is sent by Admiral Nokamu Kerensky, the commander of forces in the Antaries Galaxy.

~ :: This is a violation of Deatharon sovereingty, and the Protectorate put in place by the Treaty of Snyggast, abitrated over 'legally' by The Humankind Abh, and signed officially by the Deatahron Representative Alfred himself. A transmittal of this document and event is available upon request.

...the Gaian Ascendancy in full see this as an attempt to undermine our authority in a System we have legal control over, by the terms of the Treaty of Snyggast. That control has been in place for nearly a year now, and that agreement has seen us do all in our power to assist the Deatharon people. Again and again we say this, since this is all we can say. In the end, this event shows that everyone continues to see us as no better than thugs, convinently forgetting everything else that we do.

We condem this act with all our anger and might, and will 'no' abide to hold diplomatic talks, so in as long as a sword is pointed at us. IF we back down now, then no matter what else we do for other nations from that time forth, the effect will be hollow.

To all DF forces, we say this now. We will not bow to demands made by force, nor acquiese to talks of any kind, 'not' until your forces depart. You may think we are no better than savages, but be careful of what you believe, for we are 'worse' than that if we are continuously insulted.

No, we will 'not' depart before the agreed time table, and if you had bothered to look at the entire situation, rather than at only what you wanted to see, then some of our words would have had more effect.

Do please bring in more ships and more, until there is no room left to see stars even from space, and the System looks like a ball of metal. Our Hikari Power will continue to do as advertised here, and will not stop otherwise, except to our whims.

This blockade while directed at us, is in full view of the rest of the nations watching, and the people below.

Hence, we declare our ultimatum. Back off to an orbit around the third moon of Deatharon Prime, or there will be no talks. We will no communicate with close minds that refuse to see what is in front of them. If we must fire to disable your ships and stun your soldiers, it will be done if you fire first..

..not before.

..you have 'one' hour to conduct yourselves in this matter, or you will be towed to this location, one way or another...

...if you intended to humiliate us, do know we can do 'far' worse to the same effect. And we don't have to kill a single DF soul to achieve that. As for the blockade, look on well, it's useless... our cargo vessels continue on unimpeded, and if you fire on civilian cargo ships carrying cargo only, then you show your full depths Draconis Federation.

...you are fools to challenge us on Protectorate gounrd, and will teach the proper lessons of warfare if needed..

..of peace driven warfare, no matter what the juxtaposition.

Our terms are set, obey or face humiliation. We can find friends of other nations if needed.

The stars are quite vast enough. :: ~

---

Not even a signature was given, a Gaian term of insult, since they felt no less. They 'would' fire if pushed any further, and enter a war of hundreds of years if needed, to ensure the message was sent..

...never mess with a Gaian holding it's word, while protecting something with all it's soul. What it protects, is the sanctity of life. PERIOD...

...as a result, even as Allied cargo ships raced past encased DF vessels/stations of many sizes, the Gaian Fleet was weapons hot, through and through...

..and 'no' camoflauge could prevent the Gaians tracking capablilites.. (or does everyone think gravity can be camoflauged.. sweet lady goddess.)

In the end, the Gaians were ready for war. The move was up to the DFs.

-----

((OC- http://www.freewebs.com/gaianknight/index.htm

..I know it's been looked over, but do please look at my military pages to know what I have up my full sleeve. No punches pulled. =--= ))

OC: Some people think gravity can be bent. Thats why in a future rp i intend to devlope Shields that destort and bend gravity makeing that tracking system worthless agianst my ships. So many other nations use gravity tracking ^^ they will be mad. Oh and BTW seems you are in a iraq occupation of the future.

IC: Neo Zetas Fleets were not going to get involved in this either way around. Neo Zeta trade still went threw to the Deatharon System do to 54% of all trade ships in Neo Zeta now had fold drives but they usely didnt use them. This was a diffrent case however. But Neo Zeta still did push for a multi-national council. As Neo Zeta FULLY intended to allow the Gaians to have a say in any ouccpation of Nova Zeta even tho it would be taken into the Empire.

The Alert level was on high however for the looks of things a 2nd Deatharon war could start however this time the Gaians would be protecting Deatharon and not invadeing.

It was then that for some strange reason the position of random ships began to change within the Gaian Invasion Fleet. At first none recognized it but before long all but the flag ship of the Gaian Invasion Fleet remained within range.

It was then that a message was sent to the ship, "Any and all ships that try to enter range will be translocated to a safer position until a future time where the Gaian Ascendancy can decide to open diplomatic talks to end this blockade. No action other then the introduction to a diplomat will be excepted as a end to the blockade."

And with that the Flag Ship of the Gaian Invasion Fleet was translocated to it's Fleet well out of range of attack against the blockade.

(I appologize for the length, it's just that I'm in a rush today, and I will explain the pycshics behind translocation to put you mind at rest. And to tell you how I just moved your fleet out of range.)

The Emperor sends a message to the federation fleet. Deatharon's internal economy relies on the wormhole gate. We would like to know if Deatharon merchant vessels can still trade with sister systems?

The Grand Duke and Supreme Lord Commander of All Military forces Mavis Von Antheron (the Emperor's younger brother) Was organizeing all internal defenses. The Marine Guards had him in an underground bunker. He was busy trying to protect the Imperial Republic's Capital from invasion. The Guards walked out of the bunker and turned off the D.N.A. Scanners and the System scanners. Via the control room. They then turn on the Internal Shields trapping Mavis. They then unleash a Neural mind gas that attacks him mentally. This will leave the impression a mutant from the Imperial Intelligence Core had murdered the Emperor's brother. Mavis falls down to the ground in instant death. The marines are not normal Marines they are Death Guard. (Elite Marines meant for dangerous or covert operations) They destroy all trace of that any Marines were around and leave via transporter shuttle that is cloaked and head up to the Panther Pride Fleet.

((OC- Hope so, because it's got the attention of the Hikari Power now, which still has your own Fleet encased.))
---

Admiral Nokamu watched this all with no less amazement than had been so for the rest of the Gaians watching. Once the message was clear, the Gaians however did not back down.

A joint session was held on board the two SSDs, as well as interlinked holocomm between the Deatharond System, including all ground and space commanders, as well as Republic StarFleet Command.

":: You are certain it's some kind of dimensional transport effect? ::"

Several Techs were present as well, giving their assumptions. "There's three veins to approach this.

1) The effect is a combination of a field created by the stations they brought that generated a distortion field that displaced space-time in a targeted area of effect. A wide one in this case. Indeed unless something is done artificially, then they'll continue to shunt our vessels away.

2) Is a field of living energy like our own Hikari Power. The same distortion effects are being caused by a sentient force. Force, Jurai Power, Hikari Power, any and above the catalyst. The threat then is on an equal footing to our own Hikari Power, and if it's this version, the Power can be focused against it. If not, then we have a trump card.

3) The effect lies outside the realms of power, where we call upon such by name of goddesses and such. More than sentient, it becomes an actual enemy in form we face, but even if so, would not seem proper for a giddess or any such to involve themselves in a dispute like this. This version is least likely.

The cause seems more attune to the first in some format, and thuis a physical law is being altered in a great fashion. If so, they may have given up a valuable secret to us."

"How so?" The Admiral asked, looking back at the far too away version of their responsibility.

"Dimensional energy, in either gravity, particle, astral, or any other format, has a set of frequencies, and patterns of energy to follow. In essense, one way or the other, a targeted wave of some kind pushed us back, but selectively. If it was a single wave that did this, then the SSD would have been take out, and the entire process not where near as random as it looked.

As a result, I suspect the field effect in one energy format or another, is a selective beam effect, with a cumilative effect to create a bubble that focuses on many targets at once. The means 'has' to be artifical, and therefore has a power generation source of some kind.

That combination, makes for a set of parameters that the effective system uses to establish their field. That's a set of rules that can be circumvented."

Lady Yurika listening to all this, just shakes her head. ":: Man, where's Washu when I need her. ::"

Admiral Kerensky meanwhile simply asks. "How do we defeat this? We can't just let them get away with...."

":: Enough Admiral. ::"

All eyes turn to Lady Yurika, the Admiral would speak further, but Yurika just adds. "The further this goes on like two butting horned sheep, nothing will resolve from this. Personally I feel like everyone else here that our own buisness has been butted into far too deeply for our own tastes, but I just got off from Mind-Link from the Excellency, he sees that continuing this further is a waste.

The only way we can attest to our true intentions, as well as get the other nations to back off a bit, is to just go along with this for now.

But he agrees that this situation is left as is, will weaken our position too much, and informed me that a resolution to all this is being deployed as we speak.

After the effect is achieved, a message will be sent to conduct negotiations away from the planet. Deatharon will 'not' be the site of any talks, as there's too much subjective feelings over the issue. He and Lady Seto informed me that a diplomatic party will be enroute, and Lady Seto and myself will accompany.

Until then, I have given Lady Washu orders to break apart this ability DF used, and counter it. We 'cannot' allow a technological ability to defeat us, lest the liks of the Dominion or far worse take advantage of this all, and attack us with it. By the time these talks are completed, there will be a way to counter it. More than likely a Dimensional means, but a proper and effective one. It'll probably go even further than that, but the effect will be what's advertised.

Until then, all forces will stand down, but we're going to send our own message now. All forces will wait for further orders. ::"

Admiral Kernesky however strenuously objected. "What if the reports of the secret Fleet that we obtained from Intel that Lord Alfred is constructing, and the rumors of attempts on key personel? What if they decide to attack while the DF frack us around with negotiations that are 'none' of their damned business.

Honestly I'd like 'them' to be in our shoes if roles were reversed."

Yurika makes the last clear. ":: His Excellency informed me, that if any coup attempt occurs because of all this, the Draconis Federation will be held uttery responsible for destabilizing a situation that was none of thir buisness in the first place.

Personally, no thanks to those shits from Blue Cosmos, the situation is ripe 'for' a chance coup. In response, Aleaic will send a messgae to the Deatharon Emperor to have 'all' Deatharon forces stand down, and all Marines be sent on holiday, to take away any bite from any such plans. If the Marines have any sense of respect of chain of command retaught to them, it 'should' prevent any such occurance.

You have your orders. ::"

Just as Yurika turns away, Admiral Kerensky silently curses the DF and their shortsightedness.

*Deatharon Prime*

One of the effects of the Upgrade, was that several all religion shrines and temples were built to give all Deatharon faiths a say in the world they loved upon. They were sprining up all over the Imperial Republic.

Within many had been placed Extensia Hikari Trees, small groves of Trees made from Seeds of parent Trees. There were 'all over' the Ascendancy Sphere, and thousands now existed, where only tens of such of Palace Trees also did so. This was how the Hikari Power was spread through their realms, and protectorates, and with them, came their Partners, and Shrine Keepers along side. They both dedicated their lives to the harmony that the Hikari Power created. It's not something that can be noticed by the aly person, unless you had an affinity to it.

No less than a Force adept that feels the Force like a nudge at their minds. Thus how the Gaian PArtnership worked for the Shrine Keepers. For the actual Partners, the effect was 'like' a Jedi with the Force. Powerful, and an ally in symbiosis with each other. That understanding garnered a trust hard to fathom otherwise. This was shown to other non-users, both Gaian and Deatharon alike. They were even free to touch the freely planeted Trees, unique due to their leaves and branches that were an eterheal and angelic light oimpossible to duplicate, unless you were in Heaven Itself. Touching a leaf was like feeling the warmth of a newday sun, but you could 'feel' that light, as such in words that are indescribeable.

Course with Angelics and Avian Lords present as well, there were many things that were present in these Shrines and Temples that were hard to fathrom, but existed anyway.

Thus again was what was the cause of the Hikari Power to be extended, by extensia, over the Deatharon Protectorate. The 'actual' Power, the real bite behind it, was already in place when Aleaic accepted the Treaty of Snygast. His will then extended the Power over the fathomless distances to encapsulate the Antaries Galaxy.

Considering this was done over twelve seperate Galaxies, and the Core Republic in the Milky Way Core Galaxy, His Power was vast. And growing even more so every day. The only thing that kept him from being a god was his mental refusal to 'be' a god. He even regularly shed blood from his hand to prove it, and even still spots nasty welts and such in bokken sparring sessions with Tenchi and Yosho.

Heck, his entire right arm is semi-artifical from whence the Trial of Absorption over the Snow Ravens, and still is so. A god with all it's usual vanity would have never allowed this to continue, and would have grown it back in some form to a natural state.

But if anything, the author of the Hikari Power still saw his Power as only a tool, in so much as his Partnership with the Triad-Tree Hikari itself, as a relationship, based upon the understanding that the Guardianship, and the protection of The Balance was tatamount, and short sighted acts like what the DF have done in the name of so-called peace, when in fact they probably conducted the act to put the Gaians 'in their place', was something the Gaian Power and Partner could not in good conscious allow to go unrepented, or unanswered.

The Hikari Internetwork was filled with Aleaic's voice to conduct an act 'equal' to that committed by the Draconis Federation.

...hence why lines of Shrine Keepers and Hikari Users began to stop their workings, and suddenly concentrate where they stood. By now, Extensia and Partnerships were reaching into the millions, the number of Users to call upon, and barely a fourth were needed for this little stunt.

As they concentrated, a massive throb of mental energy began to reach out to the living Hikari Field, and the Angelhawk Globes still encased around the DF assets. They may have pulled a nice stunt with the Gaian Fleet, but now it was the Gaians turn.

True to their word, the Gaians acted on their own warning...

..and mass Folded the DF assets on the spot. The glowing Globes suddenly collapse in A Fold Jump fashion, turning all the assets into lines of brilliant light, and collapsing that into a singular, sparkiling dot.

...which is then, all 52 major assets and hordes of smaller vessels, mobiles and fighters, all unto the coordinates indicated, placing the DF Fleet into an orbit around the third Luna of Deatharon Prime. And to ensure that there is no 'cute trick' to defeat this, the area of space at the line where the Globe barrier interacts with space, is anchored into place by a gravity effect as strong as 10,000x the gravity effect of a weak singularity. The fabric of space however is not damaged, nor anything pulled towards it, nor the DF vessels within harmed.

But trying to move now would gut even the most powerful of drive arrays, and sublight engines. Moreover, the effect causes a gravity node that any hyperdive or other jumpdrive would get 'bounced' away from, at the event horizon that is. Both inside and out. The Tholians wish they could make a field this powerful.

And forget dimensional slip means or such either.

In essence, the Gaians remove the blockade, but allow the blocking field to remain. The Gaians have another tactic to use all of a sudden instead.

Half the present Fleets redeployed back to other Deatharon Systems, and other Gaian Systems as well. However ground forces, all located away from the cities, are ordered to stand their ground, and to assist this, Angelhawk Globes are placed over thousands of unit installations and more, in case the trick DF pulled tries to remove Gaian terrestrial forces.

Then to top it all off, a Mind-Link broadcast is sent by Aleaic himself, all the way back in White Diamond, even as he still sits in the Trade Conference. The message is terse and crystal.

~ :: It seems we have a stalemate. If we cannot be allowed to defend Deatharon, then the Draconis Federation will not be allowed to blockade it. As long as they keep their distortion field in place, the Hikari Power will prevent any present DF, or incoming DF forces to advance and control any avenues that would place DF forces as commanding the planet.

In so, 'no' foreign forces are allowed to orbit Deatharon whatsoever. But in committing this act, we place the blame squarely on the Draconis Federation, in the vein of the following:

If 'any' act of sedition is committied by any native Deatharon forces that intends to overthrow the Imperial Republic and reinstall an Empire that has already proven it's historic avarace, then the blame is squarely DF for causing a destabilization of a situation that was stable beforehand.

As such, if any Deatharon citizen is harmed by any such act, DF forces are held responsible as well, and the effects will be interpreted as an act of war against the Gaian Ascendancy itself, and a state of war will exist between our two nations.

Moreover, the acts made to weaken our position in this Sector galaxy, will not be tolerated, and any after effect caused by this weakening of a stable area will be seen as a premeditated act by the Draconis Federation, and will be dealt with severely.

As such, by the agreements of the Treaty of Snygasst, we call on the Deatharon Emperor, until further notice, to stand down all forces, wherever they may be. This confict is not yours, there will be no deaths because of this.

As such, we 'do' acknowledge the DF call for talks, but not between just us, Neo Zeta and DF parties, but also other invited parties, as to also produce an agreement that sends trade and resources from many nations, to the Deatharon Upgrade. IF everyone is so damned worried about the nature of this occupation, then 'all' nations will help undertake the effects of the Treaty of Snyggast.

To conduct these negotiations, we offer the dead Star System of NGAD.03315/D about three light years away from Deatharon Prime, as the place to conduct true negotiations.

However, we 'expect' these negotiations to abide by the Treaty of Snyggast, as well as respect our stance in this matter. No matter what else ie believed, or what everyone else is trying to label us, the fact of the matter is that this entire situation never had to take place, based on the fact that Deatharons asked us to liberate their worlds, no matter how few asked, and that 'no' Deatharon asked for DF forces to conduct this act, and that any that did so outside of our knowledge, are violating the Treaty, by attempting destabilization.

Either the talks respect this stance, whence others will be accorded the same, or the talks will fail right here and now.

And that little field can't stop us forever. All parties had better be serious about the talks, as well as open minded, or there will be no talks. That will be determined when my representatives arrive in two local days. ((OC- Or a post or two depending..))

For the talks to succeed, the only ones that will benefit are the Deatharon people. Any council or body created will 'not' reside on Deatahron, nor will have direct access to the Deatharon Emperor, in so much as to prevent external forces with subversive plans from conducting acts were have been worried ourselves about all damned long.

Blue Cosmos or any other such bodies that operate outside normal goverment channels are not invited, and the invatation is extended to official goverment personnel only, those that represent the 'true' leadership of each nation. Spec Forces and Intel, or any other covert Ops is not invited as well.

If there is to be a negotiation, then standard channels are allowed only, and no milotary forces present. If any are caught violating these terms for conducting this negotiation, the talks are null and void, and the accountable party dealt with.

We stand by such harsh terms, because we don't trust either of the parties that committed this act. DF and NZ voices talk of peace, but then act only from their own view point, unable to stand down and prevent military action that have none such occuring in the first place. We no longer trust Blue Cosmos, and until futher notice, no trust is given to the Draconis Federation.

We will do our part to make the talks work, and be patient in listening. But we see this all as a violation of our own sovereingty in the region, and hence will treat all present parties in the area as hostile until proven otherwise.

And 'any' little tricks used on any party renders the talks null and void as well,

Such that, if there is such a violation, it will be presumed as an act of war by parties 'other' than the Gaians, and any attempt to impose words to the contrary in such an act will be seen as the same.

In this matter, peace will either be attained by a level of trust that walks a very fine line, or there will be war. We are through mincing words, and this is our final stance on the issue.

These are the terms. Period. :: ~

--

All minds then feel the coldness of the removal of the Mind-Link. Never have the Gaians felt this cold toward anyone, the Draconis Federation have garnered no less now.

Alfred gets the news of Mavis's death from the Death Guard. Everything was going as planned the Fleets were complete and the coup was ready. Alfred was about to cause enough chaos to make himself take power in the panic without the wargame. Alfred goes in front of the Main podium and speaks to the holo recorders that feed to all Deatharon channels.


I prince Alfred have bad new as of last night Mavis Von Antheron the brother of the Emperor was murdered by a mutant assiassin in the employ of the Imperial Intelligence Core. They have betrayed us in the Gaian War and now when Deatharon is in crisis of invasion. I decreed the Intelligence Core are traitors and should be given a Traitors death to the sword. Death to Mutants.


The racism of many Deatharon citizens appear and riots form. The Death Guard launch a surpise attack on Lady Aluria and her Intelligence Core and Four more pride Fleets appear via wormholes. and Panther Pride is unleashing troops. The Great Coup had began. The Marines have surpised all military installiations and have quickly overun the defenses. The Imperial Republic is now surpised and feeling very vulnerable.

The Emperor sends a message to the federation fleet. Deatharon's internal economy relies on the wormhole gate. We would like to know if Deatharon merchant vessels can still trade with sister systems?

Deatharon

Last time I checked, merchant vessels are not milltary by nature and therefore are permitted to trade as they normaly would. This blockade is a millitary blockade not a planetary blockade, we mean no harm to the people of Deatharon or Gaian Ascendancy and would not endanger your survival at any price.

The Emperor was about to reply when weapons fire errupts from defense forces and Marine weapons attacking with rapid fire Distingerator rifles. The attacks are also orbital from Marine Warships on specific targets. It seemed the chaos was going Alfred's way.

...and just as the Gaians are preparing for the diplomatic event, signals begin to come out, as well as the recorded message, of the insurrection beginning to swell all of a sudden on Deatharon...

..the orbital batteries were a give away.

..and 'exactly' what the Gaians were afraid of.

The Gaians then went into more quick discussions, and a way was decided to see what the 'real' intentions of the Draconis Forces are.

A message was sent to them.

~ ::

We will offer this once. Obviously your sensors and comms are as good as ours, and can see the results, so it comes down to it.

THIS is what we warned of all along, and we simply will lay the cards on the table. Who will stabilize all this. You are welcome to do so, to demonstrate your prowess, since we trying to do it will meet objections..

..or... allow all we've tried to do fall back to whence it came.

*End Transmission* :: ~

(OK first the physics of translocation. Translocation is based on the highly theoretical science of philonic connections. Philonic connections are the connections that form electrons, neutrons, and protons, all atomic structure, and form the very fabric of time and space. By using a large enough unified philonic network in conjunction with the use of gravity drives and other such gravity effecting machinery, one could theoretically control the philonic web that creates all existence, and by creating a wave strong enough one can take an object out of known space into a fourth physical dimension (as we all know the official 4th dimension is time, there are many who suspect a 4th physical dimension, which is also included in the quadhedral, a cube with four physical dimensions.) of space and effectively move it through time and space.)

Gaian Ascendancy

We have no intention to prevent the Gaian Ascendancy from defending Deatharon, but we demand that diplomatic negotiations be established before you try such a trick again. We have already counter acted your unknown energy source with a simple equation reduction to the our fleet that will prevent you from effecting any Draconis Federation ship with your unknown energy ever again. We will return the blockade and you will establish diplomatic contact before you are allowed to return to the surface of Deatharon.

After the Council's statement the blockade returned to it's orbit around Deatharon, and began to pick up distress signals from the surface.

When Admiral Tal'ax Der'qwei received the messages he informed the council and proposed that the council prepare a second statement to inform the Gaians of what is occurring on the surface, and to possibly gain their support and understanding.

Gaian Ascendancy

It seems that the planet of Deatharon is experiencing a coup de'ta. We recommend that if you truly do desire the safety of the citizens of Deatharon, that you cooperate with us in an operation to restore order to the Deatharon government, or else suffer the effects of a socially and militaristically changed independent state that has long standing grudges against you. If you wish to prove that you are not here to enslave the people of Deatharon for your profit, I propose a joint military operation to prevent the success of this coup. And open diplomatic talks between our people.

Gaian Ascendancy

If you feel that way then you are a defeatest and are undisserving of your empire. So as a last attempt at diplomatic cooperation, we suggest you consider our previous offer.

OOC: Actually most people are happy with the Gaians this is just a swipe for power by Alfred and the old Imperial forces meaning they are out numbered they just managed to outmanuever the Imperial Republic and will start to lose ground since the Imperial Republic Space Navy is entering the system.

IC:
Wormholes appear all over the system as mutliple fleets of ships jump out and attack the Marine ships that had led the Coup the attack surpised the Marines which now had lost their intiative and were starting to be swarmed by loyal soldiers of the Imperial Republic Guard. The Fact the palace and many of the main cities were not oblieterated was thanks to the Gaian Shield. The Coup was forceable halted with Millions killed in the fighting. The Emperor had successfully claimed victory and the Imperial Republic stayed in effect. Alfred and serval of the Marine fleets left through various wormholes. This left Deatharon with a sense of pride and lost for all of the Prides had gone with Alfred.

((OC - I sent TGs to you both, and anyone else that wants a copy of what I said can ask away and I'll TG it to ya all. I even saved a copy to remind myself of my own imputence at times.

Wonder if I should castrate myself and save the gene pool any more trouble.))

After receiving communicaes from the Draconis Federation, they also felt imposed enough to test this, and sent back another message to the DF Fleet for them to digest.

..and this was before the Deatharons resolved things themselves.

~ :: It is agreed. It is time to see where trust lies and attempt a joint venture. Our concern of this is that two dissimilar forces are on the same stage, and we and Deatharon forces know the terrain better..

..hence we offer that instead of a Gaian/Draconis Federation operation, it be a Deatharon led one. It's time we give trust where it's due, and that's indeed to it's owners. We will support their operation if you do by supply and artllery support rather than direct intervention.

If this is preferable, operations will begin immediately.

However over the next few hours, Deatharon forces suprised the Gaians in their speed and resiliency to an overthrow attempt. Maybe the Gaians underestimated their charges all along.

...when this reached the Council, they felt......... shame.

This would have soon to be star shattering consequences.

But meanwhile, the Gaians in the Protectorate kept watch, and when it was seen that the Imperial Republic would indeed survive, Gaian matters turned swiftly to collecting the dead and getting them to Genetic Refabrication Med-Centers quickly for revival and healing. For both friend and foe alike.

..Lord Mavis and his guard, as well as others affected.

None however knew what was to come.

We are not sure if Draconis Federation supplies can be intergrated into Gaian and Deatharon technology and are unsure that Draconis technology should be shared without first discussing these matters in diplomatic talks. But the Draconis blockade shall offer orbital artillery and missle strikes as the Deatharon Imperial Republic forces and Gaian Ascendancy command.

Word of the DF reply, came just in time as 'another' order arrived, one that seemed... no, 'did' turn the Gaian stance on a 180. When Republic StarFleet Command, as well as Admiral Kerensky recieved the communicae, one that had the Excellency's personal ilCommander codes, they were shocked.

The Admiral looked over the message, and couldn't stand what he saw.

"Is he nuts? IF we do as this commands."

...but then he stops. No he tought, it made sense. He didn't care for it, and it sounded like utter cowardice, but it made sense.

Admiral Kerensky then tosses the padd to an aide who barely catches it in time, and walks to lean against a bulkhead.

"Wonder how this will go."

He then looks a Leiutenant. "Inform comm channels on all commands. Be prepared for a probable withdrawl from the Deatharon Systems." ...he says, barely believing his own words.

Neo Zeta and Blue Cosmos lost their intrest in the current affairs and stayed out of it but kept their eye on the events as they unfolded.

The Imperial Republic space Navy had found where the Marine Armada had retreated to. The republic forces end up in the Orion system with the Marine Starcommand. The Marines surrendered under the terms of not being punished for treason. The Marines are forgiven but Alfred is forced to face trial for treason.



OOC:
I will start a thread on his trial.

While all the time the Draconis blockade watched the events turn from bad to worse back to normal. It seemed that the council was right. The balance would correct itself and indeed did.

The admiral of the blockade continued hid duty and watched the merchant vessels pass through the blockade without interferance.

The Imperial Republic Warships immediatly take defensive positions around all the Planets, The Imperial Republic had put itself on lock down to all outside powers except to Neo Zeta, Gaian Ascendancy, The Humankind Abh, The Draconis Federation and The planet Federation anyone else would be fired upon.

OOC: side note Draconis Federation you might want to see this thread http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420628
