The True Council of the Alterans of Atlantis wish to seek out allies to aid us in our goal of further exploration and understanding of the universe we inhabit. For many thousands of years, we have been unsurpassed in terms of the sheer volumes of knowledge we posess, and we know that most of it (including our data on ascension) is still unknown to the vast majority of races. We hope that one day, the people of this galaxy will mature enough to be able to handle that knowledge.
In order to make this maturity possible, we wish to make strong diplomatic ties with one sovereign state in the galaxy, a state of a similar size, sot hat we can have a mutually beneficial closeness.
(OOC: Only one? My race has handeled Ascension, and actually it was something I had from the beginning, (In my mind when I was writing up my nation's info I mean.) so I guess that you're on the same level.
Too bad I'm not a nation of similar size...)

To you of the Ascension,
Your arrogence is beyond belife. Your Pitiful excuse for a race would know nothing of this universe if it bit you on the nose. You know nothing of life, you know nothing of the true nature of chaos, you know nothing of the four powers.
when you learn of this, then come back and offer us your "Knowlage", and offer it to the universe, not those you can control.
Good Bye Lesser being!

"You speak of lesser beings... You fools have not felt the glory of ascension, the knowledge that you have become a higher being, something of pure energy... You are base. Your arrogance is great. You will forever be denied Ascension. We can offer no knowledge, to do so would be a grave abuse of the priveledge we were given when we kept our memories after descension... However, we offer schooling in matters of the 'spirit', as some would put it. By surrendering to the baser emotions, or as you put it the 'four powers', you have damned yourseves. Do you now know the fate of those who follow these 'gods'? The daemon worlds. An eternity of torment... Please reconsider your pathetic need for an outside power.
To the 'Fedral Union', we would be pleased to become allies with you. We have observed your state, and yours is greatly in need of some wisdom. You have gone down the warlike path time and again. This is not condusive to Ascension. Perhaps one day, we will reach a point of trust in each other that will allow my race to share technology and secrets of Ascension with you."

"Energy is relative....Power is relative. One cannot gain power unless he already possesses it; one cannot seek to emulate the Gods of Chaos; till he has banished doubt and compassion from his mind. One cannot become as they; without first ascending; becoming something more than their beginnings. When I took the Chronosian people to their destiny; I could never have imagined how destiny would unfold; how Chaos would....Gift me."
Marcus De Drakan's booming voice echoed across space; fuelled by the vast communications arrays of the Imperium; brazier's burned in the vast throne rooms of Chronosia Prime; a thousand banners proclaimed Glory and Worship to the Emperor; a map spun, holographically representing all the conquests; and planned assaults; of the Imperium.
"The Daemon worlds burn like vast embers in the void; great flames amongst the darkness, Beacons! Man must see the power of the Sorceror, The Wych, the Psyker; embrace the Daemon and the enslave the Xenos; only then can one make great his Empire; at one with himself; taming the universe to their own ends. To emerge from so long on planes fathomless to man; to have dwelt in the company of a race of energy; and yet return so jaded in the ways of flesh....You make the mistake of thinking the Universe will bow to your demands; cowtow to your learnings...This is our galaxy. Ours to corrupt, ours to enslave; and the Gods shall not be denied their prize."
"You are flawed; as are we; but in alliance we can learn much; see far; achieve much in the tumult of light and dark; order and Chaos"
The Alteran Ascension

"Ancient lords of foetid Chronosia, your alliance is not needed or wanted. Whilst at first we knew nothing of you, we realise that your reputation for cruel punishment and sadistic relish for torture is well-earned and entirely deserved. You will not ascend. A shame. Long ago, perhaps you were a good people, but now you have corrupted the humanity within you, tot he point where our greatest sensors are hard pressed to find anything human in you. Your people will never be allowed into Vis Uban, and should your planet have an Astria Porta, it will soon be gone."
Chronosia
31-10-2005, 18:27
"Hollow threats from a hollow race. We embrace our humanity; we embrace its vices, not its virtues; we do not seek ascension, merely the gratification of the mortal state. To be freed of Death; to be granted power; these are the dreams of mortal men. Fulfilled, in us. The Daemon is the embodiment of Humanity; were humanity pure, undiluted; the warp would not be as it is. Humanity feeds the Gods with its every action. And we shall unify them"
"Against our power; worlds have burned; systems have been sundered; stars snuffed out. We are the Lords of Chaos; we are the Princes of Madness and Darkness; but we do not lack in culture nor philosophy. There is great insight to be found in insanity; realisation to be found in Chaos."
The Alteran Ascension
31-10-2005, 18:35
"The... 'Daemon', is the enemy of humanity. It seeks to corrupt. We seek to help all in this galaxy to Ascend... Eventually. It is evident that you will never do so. It is a shame. In Ascension there is no need to fulfill these shallow desires, for desires no longer exist. Immortality becomes unimportant... Knowledge becomes a petty thing. Who needs knowledge when he has all of it in his mind?"

"Knowledge is power; Power keeps the cogs of the universe turning. By the will of the Gods, we act; we enforce our laws; we bring about our glorious plan. Tell me, what would you know of us? You who dwell beyond our grasp? You 'Ascended'; for while you are few; we are many; countless are called to the ascension of Daemonhood; countless are called to serve the Imperium...They add to the grand designs of Tzeentch, the great Indulgences of Slaanesh, the almighty Wars of Khorne; they embrace and defy the death and disease of Nurgle....Where is your power, next to that of the Four Powers?"

"I believe you and your get have no power; neither here nor in the Warp. Were your power so limitless, you would not have had to 'descend'. No; you bluff with threats and angers quite beyond you. With a word, worlds have shattered under our bootheels; our legions are ascendant, as terrible and dark as Night. We are the Lords of Chaos; the sons of the Gods. The warriors of my Empire are my children, in my name they fight, and I protect. They are mine to command and control; to guide and use. Such is the way of Mankind; such is the way of the greatest civilisation Mankind has known; it's ideals perfected by Marcus De Drakan, Me; and purified by righteous Chaos. My eyes are open at last...How foolish of me to fail to look beyond meat and bone.."

"Believe what you want. Our power was limitless, but our watchfulness wasn't. To be perfectly honest, your people were not percieved to be a big enough threat to the secrets of Ascension to be interfered with by means of force. We descended because some of us believed in direct action. The others would not let us use the powers we had as ascended beings... So they returned us to corporeal form."

You are acting arrogant. If you expect to survive and not have everyone declare war on you, you need to learn tact. We originating from the Altera star system express no current desire to 'ascend'. Their is much to be said for learning things the hard way. I believe it was best put by the quote "with great power comes great responsibility." Oma Desala was correct when she only offered ascension to those on their death beds. That has been the way of things for thousands of years, we have no intention of changing them. Only the honorable may ascend to Khev, the rest must prove themselves in Limbo before they can ascend, otherwise they are stuck their. Oma Desala has proven a wise judge in these matters.

We were not stripped of it. We were sent here to aid you fools in ascending, without using the 'easy option' of using our power to ascend you. It is obvious that you fools will misinterpret everything we say. You will have to find your own way to ascension, or not at all.

Oma Desala was a rogue, incapable of accepting the rules we set out to protect you who have always lived on the lower plane. You are parasites, living off what we left behind. You go so far as to use the prototype of our Great City. You cannot live forever off technology scavenged form others.

Your so-called "ascension" is meaningless, as you clearly have retained all your Isolate failings. We/Thra have/has advanced far beyond such fallacies.

Oma Desala is a great individual. She is brave, daring, and compasionate. She only ascends those that are ready. Ascension should only be obtained by people of their own powers. If you promise ascension to those that follow your lead, you become no better than the Ori.
As for scavenging technology, we are not Goa'uld. Though we now control what was once theirs, we did not adopt the Goa'uld ways. This is a scientific nation, we develop our own technology.
This way of life has suited us for thousands of years. We have brought peace to the areas under our control. We do not force ourselves upon others. We have never fired the first shot in any battle. When the homeworld was attacked 8,631-years-ago, we fought back. We defended ourselves and drove the invaders from Altera.
As for the prototype capital city ship, its own records say it was built prior to any ascensions. It only activated when I, the Holy Emperor, set foot in the Gate Room myself. We only found it when we were ready for the wonders the city contains.
You, who have had no interaction on this plane in ages, think you can just barge in and tell us we have been doing things wrong? Let me tell you something, life isn't fair. We have had to fight to survive. The universe is not full of peace loving nations. There are some monsters out there. Monsters that the people of Altera will face as a united front. You forget, it is we unascended Alterans who still control the homeworld.

Chronosia
02-11-2005, 18:23
[When did you ever say that you were Ankhmet? Frankly that means nothing. Your still an entirely new nation; your still acting too big for your boots; your still being arrogant in assuming everyones going to accept your "We're ascended beings who are much better, advanced and more powerful than you" kick. Frankly, you'd have been as well pulling this with Ankhmet, as then you'd have a little more clout; instead of sitting here with a new nation, jumping up and down in a tantrum because no one accepts you. E-penises pretty much don't enter into it. Common sense does. Your a small nation; take the time to advance and grow before you start making claims like ascendant omnipower. Also, if your so learned and not a newb, stop insulting people. I doubt anyone wants to hear your rectal dribblings, anymore than you want to deem anyones comments that]

Love ya, but don't piss me off.
(OOC: I advise, if you're going to arrogant "IC", then try to at least let people know "OOC" that is what you intend. Don't be involved with petty bickering even in "OOC"... That really puts you down...
Still, it gets annoying even in "IC". Example being your comments in the GFFA meeting when I tried to give out ZPM technology, and your character "begged" me not to give away what you essentially said were your secrets. Keep in mind before you make posts like that, others can use that tech, and that it didn't necessarily have to come from your source. (I personally found out about Zero Point Energy around five or so years before I ever heard of NS, and it's been my main power source from the start. (When I turned FT that is.)
Don't take this as me simply putting you down though. I'd much rather see you take what people are saying to heart, and just try to ease up on the superior mentality of your people in "IC". You'll definitely have more fun that way.)

[I've not resorted to flaming. I pointed out that you cannot spell. That is an evident truth. Anyone with a dictionary and the ability to read can see that.

Correction, you've resorted to flamebaiting. Pointing out that someone can't spell is baiting when you've been around just as long as TFU, and especially when you should know that he is dyslexic. Don't do it again.

If by "force ghost" you mean an individual's mental processes continuting to operate in the absense of a discrete physical body. yes, in a sense.
Union is joining of minds,and life forces, of many beings. just as any large group requires some beings to take a lesser role to remain functional. so must the link include less complex minds to remain stable, at first we thought it was merely telepathy on a massive scale, but it is clearly a deeper junction, as in time even plants and microorganisms, beings that do not posess minds in any conventional sense of the word, have became a part of our union, enriching it and improving our understanding of our world, and later, our galaxy.
the union is a thing many Isolates have trouble comprehending, each individual having acess to the knowlege of every other.
some may view us as an abomination, see only the partial loss of identity the link brings, but in fact, all we have really lost is politics, poverty, racism and furries. things that most any "advanced" society would agree are not needed, exepting, perhaps, the last.
