Supeme Master General John Rynx was attending to paperwork on his desk. Most of the paperwork was nothing more then military requistions and former orders of none importance. But weather or not they where small and boring it was his job. John longed for something to do. He longed for battle or at least a night from the grind of day to day work. He dropped his holopad and laid back in his grav-chair and looked at his roof, and let out a loud exhale as he laid back. A sound came as someone approched the door.

John opened the door and let the person in. It was a Hobbeebian mail carrier. the carrier dropped off a single halopad with the invite. John smiled and replied:

I will be thier.

"President Cutter! President Cutter!", came the cheerful voice of one Angela Bright. The number of people Cutter actaully trusted was quite low given the earliest history of her new nation, so natuarlly her babysitter was named her Chief of Staff. Normally, a pure politicaly post, Miss Bright gave the President much needed doses of sanity.

"Angela please, call me Alexandia, we're practiclly family! What is it?"

"We've gotten back our first reply holo! It's from Supreme Master General John Rynx of Hobbeebia!"

Alexandia gave a nervous smile. She was still used to being a military officer and not quite used to the posh and pomp of planatary politics. She's also had very little experiance throwing Galas. Luckily, Miss Bright had plenty of sisters who had gotten married and she had all kinds of advice after years of helping her sisters plan weddings.

"That's great news Angela."

"So what are you wearing?? You just CAN'T wear your uniform like you normally do, you're the President!"

"Ummm......"

That was a good question.

"Erm...Ambassador Grumman, you got a message."
Grumman stopped throwing oranges at his posessed microwave. "huh?"
"Er, you see, I uh....well, you got this..."
The courier handed over his message, with bold letters stating it was dated material. Dated, apparently, for several days ago.
"Oy, when did this..." Looking up, Grumman saw the courier had fled. For good reason, too. With a loud bang, the microwave flung yet another load of...stuff out at Grumman.
Rushing out of his apartment, he opened the letter, and almost dropped it in surprise.
"Christ...that's tomorrow!"
With abit of sweating and cursing violently, Grumman ran back inside, past the projectile-launching microwave and into his study.

"I...would...love....to...attend...your...gayla-wait, no...gala..."
he sealed his letter, mailed it, and grabbed his emergency hand-held mortar launcher. It was time for a new microwave.

The Xeno

27-01-2006, 23:33

Zero Point
A Xeno shuttle would soon arrive with the formal uniforms for the occasion. Word was sent back to XSS1, and the Leyte Gulf would be loaded up with dropships and shuttles carrying supplies before it too warped into the system with the SeaQuestian ships.

Dropships were released, and they too would make for the Zero Point starport. These dropships are filled with food and drink, much of it traditional Xeno fare that may suprise some people.

Zero Point Military Bases
Other dropships were landing, this time at Zero Point's military bases. The dropships are much larger than the shuttles, intended moreso for the heavy transport of goods and equipment. Coffin-shaped/sized boxes were being rolled down from these transports. Inside are suits of Xeno battle armor. These of course, are customizable to be fitted on individuals.

Thousands and thousands of the suits of armor were being unloaded. On hand were Xeno drill instructors and trainers, who ever the course of the next couple of months would train Zero Point officers to use the armor. Those officers would then be able to train the rest of the Zero Point military in the use of the armor.

John went home and got ready for the Gala. He grabbed his *special dress armor and made sure it was fully polished and ready for use. John had not worn his armor for some time and was glad he could once again use it. John slipped into the first piece and memories came rushing back to him.

( memories- hobbeebian Bio-mech Selection ceremony)

John was fully garbed in his dress armor. the day was bright and the sun shown was great strenght, and a cool breeze kept it cool. The day was perfect and the crowds gathered. the Day of the Hobbeeban Bio-mech selection. john could barely hold in his excitment as the Emperors walked their way into the ceremony chambers. The Crowd behind him cheered so loud john figured that they could do his cheering for him.

( fast forward in memory)

John walked up to a small biomech that barely reached normal length of most. It was small and not very brave. But jhn could see something in its eyes that showed promise. From that day forward John and his Biomech where like brothers. Battling other and fighting wars John biomech named John became stronger and grew fast. Soon John was large enough to have a pilot which would be the ultimate test for both. John was proud to take the reins.......

John snapped back and called down to his Hanger to tell his biomech handlers to poish John and to tell him they had a date.

Alexandia was trying on different dresses.

It wasn't going very well.

"But Alexandia that one looked beautiful on you!", whined Miss Bright.

Alexandia huffed, "I'm sorry Angela, but there is no way I'm wearing sea green! And it's too tight around my legs. I can't belive that some people are able to walk in that! I need something that I can dance in."

"YOU'RE DANCING! Oh Alexandia that's sooo coool! I didn't know you could dance."

Former Fleet Admiral Cutter drew Miss Bright a quick stern stare. She wasn't used to this...this...gushing girl talk.

Alexandia sighed, the shopkeeper was handing her a red dress that had a long slit in it. Perhaps this one would work.

*Snip*

Shortly after the Leyte Gulf dropped to sub-light, the Last Stand and Poseidon Phased out of Hyperspace.

Messages

To Tiffany Point:

This is Captain Andrews of the I.S.S. Last Stand. We are escorting the I.S.S. Poseidon which is carrying a care package from the nation of SeaQuest to the nation of Star Zero. Requesting docking clearance for both ships.

Oh, and I have heard of the party you are holding. Please note, the command staff of both ships will be attending.

OOC: Yep, FTL on ships got an upgrade from what the Carlson has and the Jump Gates use.

Star Zero

Captain James Starfox was on the bridge when the call from SeaQuest forces came in. Starfox was famous for his bravery during the battle for Star Zero. He took command of all Star Zero forces after Agrippa had died. He was smart and cunning and a very capable leader.

Which taught him nothing about how to throw a gala.

He would do his best however and made sure his ship was ready.

"Sir, SeaQuestiain Forces wish to dock. They say they have a care package for us. They warped in with the Xeno Craft from XSS1 so I belive they're safe."

Starfox nodded, "Permission Granted, Inform them that the XO and I will greet them at Docking Bay Six."

28-01-2006, 00:37

The two SeaQuestian ships slid towards the indicated dock on their Gravimetric Engines. Captain Robin Andrews and Commander Ewir'ga, C.O. and X.O. of the Last Stand, and Captain Ma'tring and Commander Derixx of the Poseidon would meet the Star Zero greeting party.

OOC: Andrews is an Alteran female and looks human. Ewir'ga and Ma'tring are both male Draconians. Derixx is a male Furling. I can provide pics of typical male Draconians and an example pic of a male Furling if you want.

OOC: Don't worry about it. After dealing so much with The Xeno, Star Zero has kinda warmed up to the idea of strange looking creatures. You won't notice any sort of suprise or looks from the crew of Tiffany Point. Although if Alexandia's daughter is there, she'll say you look funny and giggle. But she's 5.

"Greetings! I am Captain Starfox of Tiffany Point, and this is my executive officer Lt. Cmd Jack Solarhawk. Welcome aboard."

The Xenos attending the ceremony would begin to load up the food and drink for transport up to the defense station.

Major Zale would send word ahead to President Cutter, requesting permission on behalf of the Xeno to hold a formal ritual during the celebration in her honor.

Alexandia had fired the shopkeeper and went to the next three....or four shops.

"But Alexandia! You looked soooooo stunning in that red one!"

"I looked like a cheap whore! That slit went stright up to my HIP! I'm there as a represenative of my people, not a cheap date! I want something elegant, that's all!"

Her holowatch chirpped, "Ma'am, Major Zale wishes to hold a formal ritual during the Gala. What should I tell them."

"Inform Major Zale that it would be our honor. Also, make sure that she's placed at my table."

"Yes mam, How's the dress hunt going ma'am?"

"Don't ask!"

Agrippa would be sent over to the station as part of a team in 1st Batallion, 1st Marine Division. In his armor, he would just be another armored Xeno. Of course, it would take -very- close examination to discover that he's not just a female Xeno, due to the human figure and all.

His squad is Squad 38, and the number is stenciled on his armor on the right shoulder guard in both roman numerals and Xeno numbers. The squad will be overseeing the main deck where the celebrations are taking place.

00C: I'll put up a pic of Tiffany Point later on. It all depends on the size of your ship. For large vessels, A SkyBridge simular to what the Xeno craft is used. Shuttles, Fighters, and craft up to the size of a Correilan Corvette are allowed to dock in the bays, although it could hold up to something as large as a Star Destroyer if it really wanted to. I don't know the size of your craft so I'm just going to assume a SkyBridge will be used. You'll be docked in the lower ring of the station.
IC:

As the two ships approached the station, Tiffany Points AI would instuct the pilots as to the exact spot where they would need to be for them to dock. The Skybridge extended and the airlocks stabilized the connection.

OOC: Here are the links to the info for both classes (posts are in my Fleet Database thread):
Poseidon class fleet carrier: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10177448&postcount=10
Defender class fast attack frigate: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10177456&postcount=13

IC: One Skybridge locked onto the Last Stand where a shuttle would normally docked (OOC: Defenders have no internal hanger). The Poseidon latched on to the other Skybridge with one of her external docking ports (OOC: Used for crew transfer and not shuttle docking).

The C.O. and X.O. of each ship strode through the respective Skybridges after docking was complete. They all acknowledged each other on the Tiffany Point end. They straightened their dress uniforms and awaited the arrival of the Star Zero greeting party.

OOC: I'm assuming they will be in the same area. If I am incorrect, let me know.

It was a good thing that the visor didn't show his face.

He was looking at his tombstone, more correctly his memorial plauqe within Tiffany Point.

This Station Dedicated to A Hero
Captain Atimus Agrippa
who in life fought for our freedoms
and in death, secured it.
This station is named after his late duaghter Tiffany, who died in the Massacre of Fourspades

There was a single tear in his eye.

He wondered if he'd be able to see Cutter. He still couldn't belive that she was President. Cutter, in politics, what a strange galaxy it was. He wondered how little Celeste was doing.

So many memories, and he had never stepped foot on this ship before.

John was ready to go. He walked outside and took a small stroll into the Royal garden. The fresh air was good and refreshing. John loved the outside. But it was no time for clam, he had a Gala to get to. john ran to his Hanger were " John " was waiting for him. As John reached the Hanger he entered his passcode and opened the door. He took the elevator down about 200 level, he could have dime-jumped but he wasn't in that big of a hurry. AS john walked in the tech welcomed him, and so did " John ". the two gave their welcomes and then they where off. John remembered the location from the invite. Quickly John implanted the location and activated the Dime-jump generator. " John lifeted into the air with his Angel like wings opened out to full extent. Rays of Opal colored light rained down on the land below. " Johns " massive tail incircled his body and then his wings after 10 seconds a super bright light erupted out and John was gone.....

( 1 second later)

John didn't want to scare anyone so he appeared aways out. " John by no means was a small mech. He stood about 2x the size of the tallest gundam and his wings where the same size. His body Golden and silver with ancient markings that gave him a highly Ornate look for his body, which was a Dragon/ Humaniod mix. John could never fully describe the true beatuy of John with words. He like to let everyone see him for thier selves. As John neared he announced his presence with a Formal greeting

" Hello- Greeting and salutations. I am Supreme master General John Rynx of the Hobbeebian Guardians-OF-Light, and of the Hobbeebian armed Forces. I am here in regard to a Gala invitation I received."

Johnwaited for instructions. John knew that could see him because of " Johns Rainbow light shinning Wing that where almost bigger then himself.

John recieved the message and begun to close in on the station. He flew like an agenl with his wings opened, he pushed against the empty space and began to move. As he closed in John began to move his wing in a reversed way so he would slow down and not slam into the hanger bay. As he entered the bay John controled his wings and gently flapped them as to not damage anything. As he tounched the ground " John "shook his head and roared. "John" was excited, he had never been to a formal occastion. John his master stepped out of the cockpit and took off his helmet, and rubbed " John" on his head as he put his helmet on his hip. john pointed down and his bio-mech obeyed kneling down " john " lowered his wings and lowered his neck and head as to allow John to easily walk off on to the bay floor. " John" was still excited and let out loud roars that would shake the station, and he whipped his tail about- still careful not to mess anything up.

John laughed at his friend. He had never seen him this happy in a long time.....

The differance between John and his biomech " john is the Outation marks just for common knowlage.

28-01-2006, 02:12

"That is a mighty impressive creature General."

John turned behind him to see Captain Starfox walking towards him.
"I am Captain John Starfox of the Star Zero Space Station, Tiffany Point. We are honored to have you abroad."

Upon hearing of this "Gala", the Prime Minister requested that senator Alfred Vickt be sent to the station and hopefully make friends with this nation.

"I will look forward to it," said Vickt with a wide smile. After saying goodbye to the Prime Minister, the senator turned off the hologram on his management droid and sighed. A Gala? thought Vickt. What is that? It sounds strange, but I shall endure it if I must.

He brought it up with his wife, who volunteered to go along. Vickt then sent a transmission to Star Zero authorities.

"This is senator Alfred Vickt of the Kingdom of Astral Romia. I am sending this to indicate my willingness to attend your Gala. My wife, Clara Vickt, will be attending with me if that is alright. I will be arriving on my yacht, which is designated as the Golden Eagle. I look forward to the event."

Local space warped as the unarmed Nova-class frigate Galiant hypered in-system. It had been stripped of all weapon systems per request, but not to say it didn't have defences...the FedAB secruity personnel of President Graham were not that stupid. Fighters and other short-range craft still remained on board, and a fleet of cruisers stood ready at the nearest Amazonian colony system, ready for any cry of help. The Federation would take all precautions when risking some of their highest personnel.
The frigate ignited sublight drives and slowly turned towards the station. On board, the political members and other governmental people boarded a small, weapons-stripped Typhoon assault shuttle to head to the station. Aboard were two Saber Droids, serving as escorts but quite capable of action if the time required it. The frigate itself was bristling with infantry droids and marines.
Boosting away from the hanger, the Typhoon slowly rounded the bow of the frigate and accelerated towards the station. The co-pilot quickly contacted.

"Tiffany Station, this is Amazonian shuttle. Requesting docking clearance."

Tiffany Point

Courtesy of the Xeno, several long tables were being set up with various foodstuffs. Some traditional foods such as rich white bread and fruit and also some more exotic things. One table is devoted to sea food, with delicious fish eggs and seaweed of differing types. The centerpiece of that table is a 30 foot long shark-like fish with a mouth big enough to swallow people whole. It has been carefully steamed over several days and battered with spices and butter. Diners may serve themselves if desired or take already prepared plates.

Major Zale was in attendance in the ballroom in her formal black uniform, a pressed jumpsuit type outfit with padded shoulders, elbows, thighs and knees. The formal uniforms have a high collar and bear various red markings over the left collarbone area, identifying rank and commendations. Finishing out the formal wear is a pair of highly polished black boots and a pistol belt that has no pistol in it.

Make and female Xeno were also about, wearing formal uniforms and generally just watching the humans go about their ball curiously.

Zale checked her wrist computer, then folded her hands at the small of her back, eyes scouring the room.

The Observation Deck was a large ring shaped room near the bottom of Tiffany Point. The windows, which circled the entire room, showed a fantastic veiw of the planet below as well as an excellent view of the stars. From one part of the room, the full moon showed brightly into the candle lit room. Tables, decorated with silk tablecolths and fine china, were placed throughout the room so guests could eat. The dance floor was a window as well, although it could be tinted so that guests would not experiance vertigo.

Star Zero Senators, Officers, and other leaders from the planet went about the room greeting guests and having small talk. Star Zero provided it's own contibution to the feast, with starfruit, the finest beef, and very rich deserts.

Draped across the stairway was the Colonial Flag of Star Zero. It was this staircase that President Alexandia Cutter was to make her appearance.

As one, the heads of the Xeno turned towards the stairs. They stood waiting in silence, observing the beginning of the ceremonies.

John still carrying his helmet on his hip walked into the ceremony hall and smelled the food. It was good many dishes to choose from. John almost had no idea where to begin. But he also knew it was rude for a guest to eat befor the host did, so John tamed his belly and waited for the host to arrive. John decided to talk to some of the Star Zero Officals and try to pass some time. John walked over to what appeared to be a very important figure.

" Hi I'm John Rynx of Hobbeebia, Who may you be?" asked John

( in the hanger )

" John ' sat in his place and was becoming very bord. He notice a lone tech looking at him. So " John" asked if he wanted to talk. " John" got as low as he could and laid his head down to talk to the tech.....

Agrippa was standing gaurd in the hallway when a Xeno Officer pointed to him and his neighbor and issued a command.

"YOU TWO! Prepare to escort President Cutter to the Observation Deck! Hurry up!"

Agrippa raced down to where he was instructed. He came to a stop in front of the turbolift. The doors opened...

It was Cutter.....and she was beautiful. Amazingly beautiful.

Alexandia was dressed in a royal blue gown with a high collar. The collar cut down in a v-shape to compliment her shape and the gown fit tightly around her hourglass shaped body. The dress had a slit that went up to her thighs, but it was covered by a sheer light fabric that gave the dress a sense of elegance. Her hair, normally in a tight pony tail, was now worn down so that her long blonde hair reached her shoulders. Alexandia was in crystal heels and wore a bright silver necklace with a small ruby gem.

SALUTE YOU!, said a voice inside Agrippa's head as he snapped back into thinking. He had never...ever...seen Cutter in heels.

Agrippa saluted smartly, and though how odd it was to be saulting somebody that was once his juinor.

He wanted to say hello so badly, but Artimus knew this wasn't the time. He walked beside her as she opened the doors to the Observation Deck and desended down the Stairs behind her.

A hush came over the crowd as President Alexandia Cutter came down the stairs.

"On behalf of the People of Star Zero, I thank you for attending our Intergalatic Gala. I am President Alexandia Cutter. Welcome Aboard Tiffany Point!

Dimirti had seen a lot of things. He's seen death, destruction, victory, love, and a station built right before his eyes. Despite all that he had seen, the site of the bio-mech coming alive and asking him if he wanted to talk made the Cheif Tech jump back three feet.

"I'm sorry....ummm....did you say something??"

John Pulled out his sword and knelt down on one knee with his sword in a horizontal(SP) fashion with his head down. john was one to show great respect to a nation leader and to a lady. His father made sure of that. John then got up and put his sword back into his scabberd and put his helmet back on. John took a long look at the President. John had traveled around the universe and very few time had he ever seen such beauty from a national leader. John was glad he was wearing armor, for if he wasn't it wouod have made a very embarrsing moment. After looking John got a drink and waited for the dinner call....

28-01-2006, 04:07

The Xeno already present in the ballroom came to attention and saluted as the two black-armored Xeno escorted President Cutter's party into the room and down the stairs. With the mirrored faceplates and body armor, there was no way to tell apart Agrippa from the female Xeno Marine paired up with him for the escort.

Dimirti had seen a lot of things. He's seen death, destruction, victory, love, and a station built right before his eyes. Despite all that he had seen, the site of the bio-mech coming alive and asking him if he wanted to talk made the Cheif Tech jump back three feet.

"I'm sorry....ummm....did you say something??"

" john" gave a slight giggle as he saw the tech jumped back and speak.

" Tell me. This station. It holds many people of the universe. Who is here now?"

" John" got close to the tech so he could hear what he would say......

From the far reaches of the galaxy, a response was sent to The Colony of Star Zero.

Greetings,
The Empress and Lord Mistress (same person) of the Galactic Empire of DMG would like to inform you of their intent to attend the Gala. She will arrive with a small guard of ships and be escorted to the Gala by three trusted members of the Empire, to be named later. We hope this is acceptable and look forward to seeing you at the Gala.

Alexandia smiled brightly as the Xeno saulted her.

"If you can belive it, my people were at war a little over two years ago. However, thanks to the bravery of our soldiers, and our freinds Death Spire, and most especially The Xeno, we have not only rebuilt our defences, but we are now ready to show the Galaxy, the true spirit of our people.

Ladies and gentleman, come join me in a celebration of the stars. A celebration of peace and prosperity. A celebration of heroes long forgotten in the starry night. A celebration, of good food and GOOD FREINDS!"

With that, the wait staff began to serve the guests. Major Zale was notifed as one of the Guests of Honor she would be served first and would have to relax whether she liked it or not.

Agrippa had not quite gotten over the shock. Not only was Cutter stunning, she seemed very capable of speaking with very nice sounding words. Was this the same Cutter that had knocked him out a few times?

This was going to be one interesting night.

" Dont worry I will not harm you. I dont even like to fight. I only fight for the protection of the innocent and for good. My master John rynx is a good man and a very good General. Did you know. One time John attacked a planet infect with dark bio-mech cells. the poor planet was so nasty and black that nothing biological lived thier anymore.

The Major of course, had to concede to the wishes of her hostess. She wasn't exactly the type to just.. relax. She would take the place of honor as requested. She didn't seem too comfortable about it, but it was a duty. The Xeno didn't typically go for all of this hype.

The rest of the Xeno seemed relieved enough not to have to get involved with the ceremony itself, and sort of dispersed among the crowds.

Alexandia smiled as the Major sat down. She said in a low voice, "I know your like me and don't really like the pomp and stuff, but I consider you a freind. I must commend you on the professionalism of your troops as always."

After a few brief days of preparation before the Gala, the escort party for the Lord Mistress was ready to go...

Coming out of hyperspace near Star Zero, the ten star destroyers (of varying sizes) powered off their weapons as requested and continued in for a docking sequence.

"This is Echo One, escort force from the Galactic Empire of DMG, requesting docking." The transmission was sent from the command ship of the Empire to Star Zero where it was promotly recieved and replied in the affirmitive.

A few minutes later, a shuttle launched from the command ship carrying nearly fifty individuals and headed towards Tiffany Point. After locking up and opening its hatch, fourty Imperial Guards dressed, as usual, in their combat armor, entered the station and promptly formed a path between as they stood at attention. A few moments later, young five foot eight and stunningly beautiful, red haired woman exited the shuttle; she carried herself with the obvious tone of royalty. She was the Empress: Lord Mistress Dani (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Dani.jpg). Flanking her from behind was Mistress Atriax (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Atriax.jpg), a year younger than Dani, but still quite powerful and beautiful. Slightly behind Atriax, a mysterious and completely shrouded man appeared, dressed in a simple grey cloak (the traditional grab of the Grey Order), he was known as The Knight (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/TheKnights.jpg).

Red Lion, this is Tiffany Point. You are cleared to dock in Hangar Bay 2. Ambassodor Grumman, please proceed to Hangar 3. An officer will be there to greet you shortly. Welcome gentleman, to Star Zero

Grumman stepped out of the ship, access codes in hand, and rushed towards the main banquet hall.

"Oy, oy!"

A servant turned towards him.

"Oy, 'ave I missed anything?"

The servant nodded, and ushered him into the hall, where an amazing site greeted him. More food than he had ever set eyes on in his entire life filled the hall, and a dozen different variations on the human species mingled, but the one that caught his eye...

At the far end of the hall, descending a set of stairs, came the most beutifal woman he had seen.

"On behalf of the People of Star Zero, I thank you for attending our Intergalatic Gala. I am President Alexandia Cutter. Welcome Aboard Tiffany Point!

Unable to keep a smile off of his face, Grumman threaded through the crowds of people, towards the president.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry, I need to talk to the President- sorry!"

Blushing at his mistake, Grumman adressed a stern looking man with an elegant set of armor. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you, I just needed to get to the president as soon as I can."

Captain James Starfox, the XO, and a few more of his top officers were waiting for the Empress as her shuttle docked.

Grumman issued one last appology, and continued on. he could not fail in his quest.

Just as he was within shouting distance of the President, an armed cadre of guards blocked his way. "excuse me, I need to see- MRS. PRESIDENT!! Please, I need to talk to her- MRS. PRESIDENT, A WORD PLEASE?!"

Still, the guards would not allow him through, and with a gruff push, Grumman was sent the opposite direction. Quickly he approached them again. "Look, can I- Where can I get an appointment? I need to talk to her, for the sake of our people!"

One of them pointed towards a wiry man towards the back.

Agrippa's temper prevented him from completing the thought, but the suit of armor seemed to react just fine as his hand gripped hard on the man's shoulder.

"Goddamit! You won't let me talk to the f---ing president, so I'll talk to you. Our country is under assault from terrorists from two seperate nations. I am here to ask for support, to stop all the goddamn bloodshed! All I want is a cease-fire! For f---'s sake, will someone help me?"

With that, Grumman strode past the stunned people and dropped to one knee before President Cutter. "Miss. Cutter, please excuse that outburst, it is not something that I am proud of. I am here-" Grumman unrolled a data scroll "to request an aggreement from you. In return for the League of Baalthazars Landing pledging ourselves into fiefdom, I entreat your graciousness to demand a cease-fire from the dishonorable Cassiopean Galaxy. They have fired upon dozens of both Nadias' settlements and our ally, Ruko. Please," Grumman finally let his eyes lift from the floor, and pierced Cutter's eyes with his gaze. "Help us!"

OOC: I'll respond to all the events one at a time. Just give me a moment to catch up.

Lord Mistress Dani stuck out her hand slightly to introduce herself to the captain. "Please," she said with a comforting tone, "Just call me Dani." She liked the familiarity of being called by her name rather than a title; Only citizens of the Empire called her Empress and the members of the Grey Order called her Lord Mistress or Mistress.

She was naturally good looking, but she had dressed up especially beautifully for the Gala. She wore a tight, classic, dark dress that clung to her body and resisted every movement of her shapely body.

She took a moment to linger before nodding to the Captain and allowing him to escort her to the event. Behind her, the forty Imperial Guards began hurrying back into the shuttle in an organized matter. Soon the doors closed and it departed back to the command ship nearby. Slightly behind Dani and the Captain, Mistress Atriax walked, her thigh-high boots clicking on the ground with every step. And behind Atriax walked the mysterious figure of The Knight, shrouded in a grey cloak that seemed to give no detail of what his apperance was; his steps were silent, making no noise as he seemed to hover (though he wasn't) behind the group.

~snip~ "Help us!"

Cutter's thoughts were not one of a social lady of class. This was primarily because she was more soldier than "Belle of the Ball. Apparently, the guy had no sense of history, or else he would have known better than to ask such a young nation to take on a war. What was more, is that the only time a man was allowed to get on his knees before her was if the guy was going to propose.

And she was not saying no to that.

"Captain Starfox, she said as sweetly as she could, "Please escort this man to our Cheif Diplomatic Office so they may look into his request."

Captain Starfox stood up from the table and nodded, "Of course ma'am. This was Sir."

As the man left, Alexandia breathed a sign of relief. The gaurd that he had yelled at looked as though he would blow a fuse. It reminded her of Agrippa. He would always tense up his shoulders and fists and take very long steps when he was pissed off.

" John" opened his cockpit and dropped the tech inside. The cockpit was large and had enough room for a group of people. The Cockpit had no controls and no seats or buttons. But " John" would soon show him how he worked and who his kind are....

The Cockpit got bright and soon the techs mind would meld with that of the biomech. " John " wanted to show him as much as he could, so the first thing he showed him was pain. And He explained....

" Biomech and thier pilots become close as brothers when on the battlefield. Because we both feel pain. ( John jumps out intop space and luanched a missile with a concussion tip the missile was targeting " John "). We as a team must endure everything as one, or we will never win a fight.

A place between the big tables would be cleared infront of where President Cutter sat. A sizable area, about thirty feet in diameter.

Stepping into the cleared area are two Drones. They seem similar to regular male Xeno, except they are all at least seven feet tall. Monsterous figured, muscled and powerful.

They did not wear their Drone armor, but instead standard Xeno uniforms with a red or blue armband. At the hip, each wore a sword.

The pair turned to Cutter and bowed. Then they reached down and drew their weapons. The pair of Drones turned on each other and dropped into battle stances. The swords extended, and they slowly circled.

After several tense seconds, they struck at each other. In a flurry of glittering metal and black exo-skeleton the two went back and forth, weapons a blur as they thrust, parried, riposted and struck. The weapons clanged, and occasionally a tail would lash out to trip or attack.

The moves were beautiful, fluid and frenzied at the same time. At one point, the two end up locked together by claw and sword, straining to master the other. The one with the red armband lashed down with his tail, managing to grab the leg of his opponent. The one with the blue armband used his own tail to grapple the tail of the red warrior, neutralizing the move.

The red warrior stepped inside the arc of the blue warrior, then swept his sword in a backhanded move. The weapon bounced against the calfs of the blue warrior with a thump, but the blade wouldn't penetrate the exoskeleton.

The blue warrior, unbalanced fell to the ground with a clatter, his sword lost. The red warrior stood over him, then turned and saluted President Cutter. The blue warrior also stood, bowing to President Cutter.

The red warrior approached and laid the sword on the table infront of Cutter, with the handle pointed towards her. The two Drones saluted, which was quickly followed by a snap salute from the rest of the Xeno, including Major Zale.

From her seat, Lord Mistress Dani began clapping gently, though she was not very impressed by their skill; it was more of a kind gesture than anything. Atriax too did not see it as anything special and did not intend on clapping, however when she saw Dani doing so, she followed suit. The Knight simply stood motionless and emotionless from the dark corner of the room; what was going through his mind was a mystery to all.

The two Drones saluted again, fists over their chests turn turned and marched with precision to an exit. Despite the obvious physical exertion the fight had took, they kept their dignity and bearing.

At the words of praise, the Xeno present shared a feeling of satisfaction amongst themselves.

Major Zale spoke for them all, "We appreciate your words, President Cutter. On behalf of the Xeno, we pledge ourselves to the defense of your world and your people. You are one with us." She sat back down, obviously not comfortable in so public of a setting or speaking in public like this.

"John" became angry with the common calling him a ship.

" I am no ship I am a biomech. Servent of the Hobbeebian Empire. A Guardian-of-Light. I have a life. Ships do not live. To answer your question you did I shot myself. ( mind control shift to Grumman). I am the strongest of my kind. ( pain from missile strike enters Grumman). this is what it is like to pilot one of us...." " John" then told them of his kind...

" Biomech are , according to humans, living mechains. Of course we have never known anything of mechain unitl we mee the Hobbeebains. We are a specis of warriors that thrive for battle. We are not just parts and wires we are alive. We feel pain, sadness, and lose. but it is beacuse of these feeling that we have this power...( " John " dime-jumps the Universe 4 A section of unconnection to known universe. the area is vast and holds many planets.) You see the planet there. It is uninhabited I will show you what will happen to anyone who harms the Hobbeebian Empire...."

John opens his mouth and opens his wings, absorbing energy from the area. Soon his mouth glowed with white energy and a ball formed, In the area the sound of " John" screaming could be heard

" White nova blast!!!!"

The ball rushed from his mouth and hit the planet. After a bright light, nothing clam came. then without warning, the planet explodes with great forces.

"erm...oh..."

Grumman was swiftly coming to the conclusion that he did not want a planet destroyer defending him. The lady Cutter, with her nobility (and brilliant technology) had been an option. And because she was relatively new, the price of fiefdom would not have been too much...he hoped.

Yet this man, this....being frightened him. What if he were to attack the Baali?

"Please, take me back to the ship. I must talk with my Leader before any further actions are taken."

Why will you not talk to me? Back at Nadias, we talk to the people in the streets...is there something I don't know about? Has someone attempted to take her life, or is this entire nation composed of hardasses?

"its only a waste of time if your a coward" he called out

Alexandia smiled and shook the man's hand. She was very glad that Death Spire could make it. This made 3 warriors at her table. And that, was a good thing.

"I'm very glad to hear that Warmaster. I was happy to hear that his ship is being upgraded to a Super Star Destoryer. I'm very impressed with your fleet.

Senator Vickt was relieved to hear from the President. It seemed as if this would not be like some of the barbaric festivals that several other senators and diplomats had attended. Senator Vickt also prepared a piece of music in case he deemed it appropriate to be played at the event. Vickt and his wife boarded the Golden Eagle, lifted off, and set a course for the Trinity Point.

**********

The Golden Eagle entered the system and closed in on the station. The ship was aptly named; it appeared exactly like a golden eagle with it’s wings widely stretched out above it’s body. The thrusters of the ship were carefully concealed in the bird’s tail feathers, which slowly waved up and down. As the ship neared the station, it folded its wings in so that it would not encounter docking difficulties. The ship docked at the appropriate place and it’s passengers walked off.

Alfred and Clara Vickt found their way to the observation deck. Alfred was wearing a proper dark green tunic with a long sleeved coat underneath. His wife was wearing a simple white dress and her brown hair down to her shoulders.

At first, Alfred and Clara simply walked around together to get a feel for the place. When approached with conversation, Alfred would do much of the talking and introducing, and usually Clara would say nothing.

Alfred was looking out at the planet when he noticed that the Xeno were beginning their demonstration. Alfred, like most Romians, was very cynical about nonhuman species, but, also like most Romians, did not now outwardly show this. As the demonstration began, he clutched his wife’s hand tight, unconsciously protecting her from what might become a dangerous situation. After all, he didn’t know how civilized that beasts such as the Xeno could be. Alfred clapped at the end, but only because he did not want to seem out of place.

The senator and his wife continued to roam around and make small talk. Alfred wanted to talk with the president eventually, but now did not seem like the right time. He occasionally glanced around to note the position any Xeno in the room. Alfred made it a point throughout the rest of the visit to try to stay out of the way of any nonhumans.

OOC: Only if you stick around. Cutter will eventually leave the table and mingle with everyone once the dancing starts. In fact, she's about to get up and mingle right now. So I wouldn't have your character leave just yet. However, seeing as Death Spire just called you out. I think Cutter's just gonna sit back and watch what happens. Cuz, you know she likes a good fight.

IC:

Alexandia smiled at the Warmaster, "Any help we can recive would be most apperciated. We belive that with so many ships in the system that our enemy wouldn't strike now, but afterwards you never know.

Alexandia looked around the room, "If you'll excuse me, I must greet the guests. I hope you can stay for a few days so we can talk more. I used to be in charge of all of Star Zero's defence forces and would be very glad to talk tatics with you.

Alexandia got up and began going from table to table greeting various VIPs.

The Emperor looked over data of the Zero Point colony. They had paid bandits in the area to provide intel for the Third Sebecean Imperium, and it seemed they had something. Data packets showed a number of new ships, and the defenses of the planet were growing. However, beside this fact, the Emperor had been consulting with a few 'friends' and they were brewing a plan to control the Star Zero presidency.

The turbolift opened and the two officers walked out to the recieving area of the station. There was alway a flurry of activty at this level.

"ATTENTION ON DECK!"

The Captain walked by the crewmembers at attention, "As you were"
They strolled quickly over to the group of Sea Questrians.

"Greetings! I am Captain Starfox of Star Zero Space Station Tiffany Point, and this is my executive officer Lt. Cmd Jack Solarhawk. Welcome aboard."

OOC: Sorry for the late reply. Got called away. Oh, and its plain SeaQuestians, one word, two capital letters (funky, I know).

IC: Captain Robin Andrews, Commander Ewir'ga, Captain Ma'tring, and Commander Derixx all introduced themselves in turn. Andrews had seniority as she had been in the SeaQuestian Navy for a couple years longer than Ma'Tring, and the grey in her hair showed it.

Zero Point Orbit

A Xeno battleship without escorts emerged from a hyperjump into the system. It sat unmoving for a while, its form studded with dropships. Then it would radio its friendly intentions, and one-by-one those dropships would begin to deploy. They turned and skimmed down through the atmosphere to land at various military bases. These dropships were carrying the Xeno's latest weaponry. The Exodus 1 missile and their launch platforms.

Tiffany Point Station

The Xeno continued to keep to themselves, mostly just staying out of the way.

The sheer part of Alexandia's dress swished from side to side as she glided across the room. To an uninfromed observer, Alexandia would appear to be having the time of her life. In reality, she wanted to dance with her daughter. Little did she know that Miss Bright had left the Gala to go pick her up as a suprise for the President.

IC: Andrews returned the smile and brought the extended up to brush an errant strand of hair out of her eyes.

"Do lead the way," hissed Ewir'ga through his translator.

Andrews nodded, "Yes, we can unload the 'care package' later. Its not like its going to spoil or go anywhere," she winks, "and I'm sure you'll find a few of the items in it of special interest."

Fast-Foward to the party

Commander Derixx was sampling the meats set out on the tables. His ears swiviled around whenever he noted an interesting noise or conversation, though mostly they were in a position to hear the music the best from his position. He also had to make sure his fluffy, red tail didn't get stepped on.

The other three SeaQuestians were mingling with the crowd. While Derixx and Andrews had been to such events before, the two Draconians hadn't, and it showed. They were just standing to the side as they tried to calm their nerves.

OOC: Note, most Draconians don't use English (or as I like to call it, Universal Standard). The Draconian's native tounge is hoots, whistles, growls, hisses, and various other reptilian sounds. A few can speak English with varying degress of accent, but its really hard for them to do with their throat structure.

"Then you must call me Alexandia. When I first decided to run for President I was in charge of Star Zero's defence forces.

Dani too was glad to see that Alexandia was not so caught up in her job and hidden behind her title that she had forgotten how to be a human. She smiled again. "War hero?" she asked in reference to being in charge of the defense forces. Dani didn't know much about Star Zero, but she was vaguely aware of a war that occured not so long ago.

"Oh, this?" she said looking down at her tight fitting dress. "Thanks... I kind of just threw it on when I was leaving the Temple. Not often I wear something like this..." As a member (and leader) of the Grey Order, she was much more acustomed to more combat friendly clothes and a grey cloak to cover them. Wearing a dress was like a treat for her and so when she did, she made sure she looked damn good.

A daughter? Dani thought. "So... do you have a husband?" she asked. Realizing that it might be a sensitive subject as she had not seen her husband yet, Dani quickly tried to make sure she wasn't intruding on something personal. "I mean... if you care to talk about it, that is." She waited, almost nervously, for her response.

OOC: How old is Alexandia?

Star Zero

28-01-2006, 07:14

"I mean... if you care to talk about it, that is." She waited, almost nervously, for her response.

Alexandia's face turned downward. She didn't like to talk about it, but the story must be told.

"I'm afraid our people have a somewhat violent past. We've only been here for about a year now. We originated at a planet called Fourspades where we were oppressed. Our people fought for revolution. My husband was Captain Agrippa's XO until he was killed in action. I simply took his place at that point, and I was by his side ever since. We both lost a lot in that war. Agrippa lost his wife and daughter. She would be about the same age as my own daughter. The Station is actaully named after Agrippa's daughter Tiffany."

Alexandia sighed.

When we won our independece, we were able to build a colony ship and settle somewhere else. First thing we encoutred was a Setian-Sebecean warship. They followed us and Agrippa had to pull some pretty slick moves to escape, but we made it. The Xeno helped us out alot by helping us fix our colony ship. When we settled, Agrippa was in charge of defence. Then Setian-Sebeceans came with their most massive ships. Myself, Death Spire, and the Xeno fought back. Thier Emperor met with Agrippa and made demands. Agrippa choose to self-detonate his ship and kill himself along with the Emperor rather than face a life without liberty. We're still slightly afraid they'll come back, but this time we'll be ready. After the war, I was placed in charge of defence. When Gov. Steelcraft decided to pay lip service to the situation, I decided to run for President.

OCC: Alexandia is 28, but she might appear to be a bit older due to the stresses that she's endured. Her daughter is 5.

"A very touching story," Dani said sincerely as Alexandia finished. "I am sorry for all that has befallen your people... such horrible things."

She attempted another signature smile as she tried to comfort Alexandia. "Hopefully that is all in the past now... hopefully your people can live in peace, free from opression and tyranny. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."

Atriax was standing slightly back from the two as they talked. Though she seemed to be paying attention to the music, her Grey training was allowing her to scan the room for anything that could be a threat.

In the corner, The Knight was still standing by himself. It would seem as if he hadn't moved an inch, not even flexed a muscle, since he had arrived (and it was probably true). He too was most likely watching the room, though it was impossible to tell behind his cloak, visor and two layers of armor. He was quite a mystery, even to Dani who knew him better than anyone else in the Empire.

OOC: Ah, I thought it was probably something in that range.

"Oh, shush..." she said playfully as the walked off to get a plate of food.

OOC: Captain Robin Andrews is 48.
Note: Yep, she's going to be checking to see how strong your grip is.

If snorting had been appropirte, Alexandia would have snorted, the Captain's handshake had signaled that the Captain may have thought Alexandia had grown soft.

"Belive me Captain, it was a duty not a choice. My Chief of Staff had to beg me not to come in my usual dress uniform."

OOC: Not grown soft. Its the military back-ground (generations have served as officers, very proud heritage for her.) Think of her personality as a cross between Picard's, present Janeway, and future Janeway (the admiral from the last episode). Its an old habits thing, her way of starting to size up someone.
Oh, and I edited my last post to fit more in the story-line.

IC: "Even if I was retired," Andrews replied, "I would still wear my dress uniform. Generations of my family have been officers, on both sides. If you were to listen to my Grandfather, on my mother's side, he would have had you believe it was a family tradition and quite the honor."

Andrews released from the hand-shake after noting the President had quite the firm grip.

She clenched her hands behind her back to keep them out of the way and in a comfortable, yet casual, position before continuing.

"According to the reports I read, which were mainly based on the little info that had crossed through the wormhole to the home galaxy, you went through a conflict recently. May I ask with whom?

"Oh, and call me Robin. It would probably make my Grandfather roll over in his grave being so informal, but I prefer it. Never was that big on formality, not even with my own crew."

"It goes like that. An aquisitive power tests your defenses, appears to fade away and forget about you, and then come back with a vengence.

"As for the Battle Of Orthanc Shipyard, I happen to know many details. I should, I rammed my way through a Mac Star Destroyer with my ship at that battle. This trip was her first assignment after being released from the repair dock."

"Ha, we almost got rid of an enemy warship that way. We actaully tried to ram the thing with our massive colony ship.

The door to the Observation Deck opened, and a small little girl with curly blonde hair came running down the stairs.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"

Alexandia wipped around quickly to see her little baby girl running down the stairs in a dress similar to hers. (but obviously without the slit up the side or the v-line neck, and no heels) The President smiled as her little girl hugged her.

"Isn't it way past your bedtime little lady??"

"But Miss Bwight said I could go see you mommy!"

Alexandia cast a bright cheerful smile at her Cheif of Staff.

"Dance with me Mommy!"

"Ok sweetie"

So, Mother and Daughter walked hand in hand to the dance floor. The dance floor showed the surface of the planet and it reflected on the ceiling. The stars and the moon showed brightly as the band played, "My funny little Valentine"

Across the room, Artimius Agrippa was filled with greif and in tears. He couldn't stand it. He missed Tiffany. Very very much. Seeing Alexandia dancing with her daughter was just too much. It was good that other people couldn't see through the visor.

He couldn't bare to show himself now. He was still in too much pain to reveal himself now. He was dead. His body wouldn't allow him to die, but in his heart Artimus Agrippa the Man was dead. He was Xeno now. It was better that he didn't show himself.

The female Marine standing beside Agrippa elbowed his ribs, which of course was just a nudge to the armor. On their squad-level radio band she cautioned, "Focus. Our duty is to protect these people." It wouldn't do to have him getting all choked up and blurry-eyed now.

Zero Point
The dozens upon dozens of dropships that had arrived were by now, finished with unloading the equipment they'd brought. 75 large trucks with dual launch tubes on the back. When ready for launch, the trucks would lock into place and the bed would raise straight up on hydrolics to target the sky. The missiles could then be programmed to their targets or flight path.

Other equipment included 5 full control systems for Exodus silo complexes as well as the engineering information required to build more. Each control system could handle a field of 30 silos.

The Xeno would help set up the complexes and of course, the Zero Point military would be in charge of where they garrisoned the Exodus mobile launchers.

29-01-2006, 02:27

The Immense ship simply seemed to appear; translocating instantly to the point where the gala was to be held. The gilded vessel; alien symbols alighted in golden exuberance; shimmered with the aura of something not altogether of this world. It seemed spectacular; ancient, and undeniably quite magnificent.

The Lord of this vessel; and indeed the entire race that served him; shifted his necrodermis effortlessly into a new, more mortal form. A color seemed to cross his cheeks; robes suddenly seemed to envelop him; and as he stepped forward; he cease to be...

...And instead appeared within the station; introducing himself with a curt bow and a distinctly civilised tone.

"Greetings, one and all...I am Sethir; an emmisiary from the Golden Empire beyond the Northern arms of this Galaxy. I come in peace; with beneficent tidings from my glorious Master's; who dwell even now upon the thrones of Ruby and Onyx. We have dwelt beyond the edge of reason for too long now; and only recently return. Hail and well met, brothers."

It's task accomplished; it bowed once more; the wolf amongst the flock; the Serpent given form. How it enjoyed toying with the Mortal Races; how it yearned for their contact; and to infiltrate, manipulate, and prosper falsely amongst them; as it had done in the olden days; millenia ago...Before the great Slumber and tyrannous Hunger.

It smirked; moving past them, almost arrogantly pushing past them. Leave them to their suspicions and their fears; it made the essence taste better; the tinge of betrayal across souls. He chuckled gently; tittering almost; it's robes shifting and moving about it's form; till, with a mere gesture; they reformed; now they were tight about his body, almost translucent; gleaming around necrodermis muscle. A sliver of necrodermis pushed free from it's wrist; flowing through it's grasp to form a staff; something to lean on; tapping almost methodically against the ground as it moved to a seat.

It plopped down; form steady and full; firm and appealing; as it glanced about the room; eyes blinking horizontally, then vertically; hair flowing free of the contrived ring that had once held it; flowing about it's head like waves of sunlight; fair and seductive, crackling with barely noticed static.

John felt the room come over with a dark presence. It gave John chills and made him nervous. john gave a quick scan of the room and noticed someone new, and the air around him shown with a dark setting. John feared the worst. John walked over to one of the guard and directed his attention to the newcomer. and said

" Watch this one. He is not what he seems..."

John quickly walked over to the man and called to him saying

" You. Necron. Why do you hide in a human shell?"

OOC:

If it is OK, I would like to join in the Gala. If it is not, then just ignore this post. I will assume my request for an invitation was approved. I’ll use Fluid Time a little but I will arrive late. I just found this Thread and I had to read many, many, many pages.

IC:

“Sire, we have received a broadcast announcing a request for nations to attend a Gala. Here is the info.”

The aide handed the Emperor a tablet with the message scrolling across its surface. Nhur-Galladu took the device in his ancient hands and watched the communication. He thought for a few moments before speaking.

“Command the Honorguard to ready itself. I will be attending personally. I want to leave within the hour, according to this message the events have already started. At least I will be fashionably late.”

“Yes Sire.”

The aide rushed off leaving Nhur-Galladu sitting alone in thought.

About an hour later

The Imperial Flagship, The Serendipity, along with its Honorguard left Earth orbit. They made a short Jump just outside the Sol System. After a few minutes reality collapsed in front of the fleet of support craft and a wormhole appeared. The entire fleet entered the large wormhole which simply disappeared.

Outside the Star Zero system reality again collapsed upon itself and the other end of the monstrous sized wormhole opened. The entire Honorguard exited the vortex and it closed behind them.

The flagship began transmitting a message to the Star Zero planet.

“This is the Imperial Flagship, The Serendipity, bearing the Emperor of Balrogga here to attend the Gala. We will leave our Honorguard Fleet outside your system and just approach with The Serendipity. The Emperor will use a shuttlecraft to complete the final leg of the journey once the flagship is in position. We will come in unarmed. Serendipity out.”

After a few minutes, the flagship made a jump from the Honorguard position to a few planetary diameters from the Tiffany Point Station. A single shuttlecraft left the hangerbay and approached the station, with two fighters as an escort. Once the shuttle was docked, the fighters returned to The Serendipity.

Dear lord you indefatiguable fool; A C'tan, hiding in another form is virtually impossible to find unless you know what your looking for; might I reference Codex Necrons Pg 8 where a Callidus Assassin stabs a Governor with a C'tan Phase Knight; not knowing he is infact a C'tan?

I find it highly offensive that you would blunder into my character's form so brazenly; especially given the mysterious and archaic nature of the Necron civilisation....Honestly.

Hobbeebians are sensetive to beings of chaos and darkness. And the last time I checked Necro= death and darkness.

"I am Sethir, Emissiary of the Golden Empire of the Greater Reach; Servant of the Throne of Ruby and Onyx" It coughed, rising, a fluid smirk passing across those ancient lips; those teasing folds of necrodermis imitating flesh. Fear...

It could taste it; scent it in their essence; could sense the tension; the suspicion; but for this worm to be so brazen in his assumptions. It was amused at the very notion that it knew anything of it or it's culture.

It moved off, towards the Seaquest delegation; bowing lightly, jewels and intricate designs in metal shimmering where fingernails should lie as it extended it's hand.

Alexandia was not Force sensitive, but one did not have to have a grasp on the inner fabric of the galaxy to feel the tension in the air.

So, her close ally was.....a vampire? Something from ancient legend?

Of course, Agrippa had the advantage of listening in as orders went through the 'network' and radios. Two squads of Marines were forming up outside of the ballroom, along with the defense station's security. They could be in within seconds if something happened.

Agrippa and his partner were ordered to sort of mingle in closer to President Cutter and her daughter. Agrippa knew his partner was willing to put her armored body between the President, the First Daughter and any sort of danger that might arise.

Alexandia had kept a close eye on her daughter and had made very consise plans about her saftey. She had already nodded to the her secruity personell that the DMG was to be trusted. Otherwise, gaurds would have already stopped her by now. Her daughter's saftey was serious buisness.

The cold little world seemed wreathed in snowy fog. A lone Xeno infantryman in battle armor with a white camo pattern stood halfway up a steep, barren mountainside. Despite his helmet's vision enhancments, a sophisticated set of binoculars still had a purpose. He held a set of high-powered binoculars to the faceplate of his helmet, scanning the distant, white horizon.

A black speck could be glimpsed, slowly moving from left to right across the snowy fields.

Suddenly, the sky lit up and a blossom of fire could be seen reflecting on the helmet's visor. The black dot seemed to disappear in a fireball. The Xeno's binoculars dimmed slightly to protect vision as the explosion glared off the snow. ~This is Seth. Confirm test successful. Direct hit.~

Back at the test station, Xeno scientists nodded approval. The Exodus was fully operational and would need no further program upgrades.

"Understood, sir," replied Captain William Anderson, "excuse me, but I'm still a little excited over my recent promotion and assignment to the Last Stand, sir."

"Its understandable. Just make sure that your predecesor, Captain Robin Andrews, recieves her promotion letter and her new pips. Also be sure to let her know she needs to relocate to the ship you will be arriving in with her entire command staff. You and your command staff will then transfer over to the Last Stand."

The massive black form of the Preserver had moved to the head of a formation of ten D'Kora class "Marauders" sent by the nation of Ferengi Consortium. The eleven ships entered the Hyperspace Jump Gate outside the Alteran system's Oort Cloud on their way to the wormhole that led to the Milky ay Galaxy.

It stretched, yawning softly; an imitation of course, for it rarely, if ever tired (Save that long stretch between genocide of galaxies and rebirth of life). It smirked lightly; taking in it's surroundings. "A song from the Evil Dead; how...Amusing" It tittered lightly, reclining against a wall; leaning on it's staff once more. "It would make a change from threats; I think." Glancing around once more; it sought others to converse with.

It's mind was hungry for knowlege; it had long ago, consorted with the mortal races; it had tasted their minds before it had tasted their flesh and life-energy. He had been as skilled a manipulator as the Deciever itself; a cunning and manipulative entity that had earned it it's title as Serpent. Coiling about it's prey before inevitably consuming...

OOC: You better take it from here, I don't know what's on your ship.

The turbolift was not far from the observation deck. It would bring them a half-mile up to the Hangar Ring where the SeaQuest ship was docked.

OOC: Just picture the insides of a modern day submarine, with all the 'comforts'. Oh, and the 'care package' is in the carrier's hanger. I'll be using fluid time to jump to them there.

IC: I.S.S. Poseidon - Hanger Bay

The remaining fifteen Raptors that had been left aboard when the ship departed Altera was only one-fourth of the total compliment the class could carry. The other fourty-five had been left at Altera to make room for the "care package" being delivered to the nation of Star Zero.

Andrews said, "Well not my ship, the class ship for the Posiedon class fleet carriers isn't that bad a ship," she looks down at the PADD she's holding, "well back to business.

"The 'care package' contains fifty crates of one-hundred Hyposprays each, twenty crates of two-hundred PADDs each, five-hundred bales of Draconian Fire Silk," at this she can't help but shudder at the thought of the creatures the Fire Silk comes from, "sixteen metric tons of dried fruit," she smiles as she recalls how much Draconians love dried fruit, "fifteen fully equipped bio-beds for medical use, two crates of fifty Phased Plaser Rifles each, five crates of one-hundred Phased Plaser Guns each, a Class 1 Romulan cloaking device obtained from Ferengi Consortium, sixty metric tons of seeds, eighteen industrial grade replicators, and, the piece-de-resistance, two Mark 1 variable yeild EM torpedoes," a pause as Andrews catches her breath, "I'm surprised that I was able to get that all out on one breath."

The Preserver and her enterouge of D'Koras emerged from the Hyperspace Jump Gate. The Preserver engaged her Hyperdrive and the D'Koras went to Warp. They were all head for the Star Zero planetary system.

President Alexandia Cutter was speechless.

"My Word Captain. The genorisity of your government is truely astounding. I'm certain our engineers would be very interested in the cloaking device and I know a certain evil imperilist that can recive the bad end of those torps! The replicators will allow us to make the station even more self-suffient. I'm just can't belive all this. On behalf of my people, we are truly grateful!

Meanwhile the Fleet Admiral would be contacting the Xeno to see if the Exodus Missile could fit inside one of thier new missile cruisers.

They would work side by side with the already exsiting corvettes.

Reply,
"The Exodus is intended as a planetary defense weapon. It measures around fourty feet in length, which makes it a bit cumbersome for a ship to carry and reload. For ship-to-ship combat, we reccomend the White Shark torpedo and White Tiger missile. We will certainly supply you with as many as desired for your warships. We have already unloaded 75 Exodus mobile launchers to your military, and equipment to set up 5 Exodus control centers able to handle 30 silos. If more are required, please let us know."

"Actually," replied Andrews, "all the non-military goods are a standard care package. As for the torpedoes, wouldn't it make more sense to take them apart and study them so you can produce your own?

"Actually, SeaQuest hasn't used the Mark 1's in a long time. The latest version I know of is the Mark 92 torpedo. However, I'm sure your nation will be able to catch up eventually. I think they sent Mark 1's because they would be the easiest to reverse engineer."

Alexandia smiled. Yep, she still maintained her military roots, always wanted to jump straight to the blowing up stuff.

Our engineers will look into these right away. Let's head back to the party, I think the Warmaster is playing a little tune.

"Agreed," replied Andrews as she made a few taps on the PADD she still held, "oh," she says handing over the PADD, "here is some info on Draconian Fire Silk (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10332121&postcount=43) that you may find interesting."

Edge Of The Star Zero Planetary System

The massive form of the Preserver and the many times smaller D'Koras dropped to sublight just outside the star system's Oort Cloud. All eleven ships formed up into a non-threating formation. Though, due to the sheer mass of the Preserver, it was hard not to leave an impression. The small fleet began to cruise towards Tiffany Point.

OOC: Almost time for the big reveal of the ship's class.

The Vaxintorians

01-02-2006, 00:05

Abruptly, a Vaxintorian Deathbolt dropped into Realspace with a brilliant flash of blue light. Like most Vaxintorian vessels, it resembled nothing so much as heavily armed space junk - bits of wreckage and scrap metal, roughly bolted together. Still, the slender 100 meter craft managed a sinister elegance. A transmission was promptly sent, as the Deathbolt drifted closer.

This is High Lord Jergeth Myandariin, of the Vaxintorians, coming to attend the Gala. Please accept my apology for my late arrival; I was delayed by an encounter with a group of pirates.

Greetings Vaxintorian Craft, this is Tiffany Point. You are clear to land in Docking Point 8.

Miss Bright had seen the Draconian Fine Silk. She freaked.

"OH MY GOD! ALEXANDIA! DO YOU KNOW HOW VALUABLE THIS IS!?!?! IT'S VERY RARE!

Alexandia went on for about 5 minuets talking about it.

Nhur-Galladu entered the gala and slowly made his way across the room where he would not be accidentally bumped into. He used his staff a couple times to clear the path ahead of him. Finding a spot that suited him, he looked around the room. He opened his mind and allowed himself to feel the room.

OOC:

This is not any active psi power, he is passively listening to what everyone is broadcasting on their own. This should give others (like the Xeno) to notice him and give them a reason to talk to him.

Tiffany Point - Exterior

The massive form of the Eclipse class Super Star Destroyer known as the I.S.S. Preserver pulled up to the Star Zero station. The black bulk of the giant ship was in a position that could easily be viewed from one of the windows of the Observation Room where the Gala was being held.

I.S.S. Last Stand - Bridge

"Sir, we're recieving a text message to be hand delivered to Captain Andrews. One of the D'Koras is also beaming over a package for her."

"Then get your dress uniform on, Ensign. You are going to take a trip to the party to hand deliver both yourself."

"Aye, sir."

The Ensign transferred the message to a PADD and left the Bridge.

The Xeno were still keeping to the edges of the crowds, mostly just staying out of the way and maintaining careful overwatch of the party. Mainly though, the off-duty Xeno were returning to their shuttles, having seen enough. This was not a Xeno celebration.

The crewman working on the bridge were very impressed with the massive ships. Of all the ships that they felt nervous about, this one was the only one to which they adjusted the aim on thier cannons.

"Incoming Ship, this is Tiffany Point, please identify yourself and your purpose.

Messages

This is the SeaQuestian Eclipse class Super Star Destroyer I.S.S. Preserver. We were sent here under orders to act as the official ship assigned to represent the Empire to Star Zero. Due to our knowledge of the hostile nature of one of Star Zero's neighbors, it was decided to send a ship that could handle itself. After High Command decides that our presense is no longer needed here, the Preserver will depart to be replaced by a smaller ship attached to a SeaQuestian diplomat.

Tiffany Point - Observation Room - Gala

Ensign Susan McRead walked up to Captain Andrews and cleared her throught to get the Captain's attention.

"Yes? What is it, Ensign?"

"This message came in for you, ma'am," McRead replies handing over the PADD, "as did this," she hands over a small case of a type that commonly holds jewlery.

Andrew's eyes widen as she reads the PADD.

The Deathbolt drifted with surprising grace to Docking Point 8, and Jergeth Myandariin emerged. Young, by the standards of his people, the D'zukaru Shapeshifter had not yet selected a habitual form. Jergeth had chosen to appear with four rather insect-like legs, and ebony scales that faded to softness on its hands and face. Aside from these details, the creature looked much like a human, and was only half again average human height. This last change had been the most difficult; there aren't many D'zukaru that can size-shift to that extent.

Jergeth made his ship look both clumsy and harmless, but it was carefull to avoid any movements that might appear hostile as it emerged. In the past, D'zukaru visitors had sometimes had trouble with startled hosts.

Meanwhile, Jergeth's crew watched the giant warship with interest. Compared to what they were used to, it was quite impressive.

Nhur-Galladu bowed his head towards the lovely president standing before him.

"Then you are the one I must thank for my hospitality. I regret I was late to the event but that should not mar any future relations between our two nations.”

He looks around the observation deck.

“You seem to have attracted a crowd of powerful delegates. Some consider that a sign of good tidings to come. I certainly hope so.”

President Cutter was gazing outside at the Super Star Destroyer when she heard the commotion, she glided over to see Captain Andrews open the box.

Inside the case were two different pips in two sets, a dress set and a duty set. One pip, for her left collar (http://www.b5tech.com/misctech/earthforcerank/general.jpg), was to indicate flag officer in command of a ship. The other pip, for her right collar (http://kuro-rpg.com/rank/b5-o/b-a1.png) (OOC: That's the duty version) was the standard pip of the lowest Flag Officer rank, Brigadier General.

The Ensign said, "Ma'am, would you like to do the honors, or do you want me to do it, General?"

OOC: I use the same Flag Officers for all my branches. Basically, one group of Flag Officers runs all branches of the SeaQuestian Armed Forces.

Alexandia would watch as General Andrews was pinned. She applauded when it was finished, and everyone followed.

beep-beep-

It was getting late. The Gala had been a success, and people were starting to take thier leave. As the guests left, they would be handed a holograhpic map of the galaxy that would show the locations of the guest's homeworlds. (Those that wanted to reveal them anyway.)

The officer core of the crew would be standing in a line at the docking bay to give thier guests a proper farewell. The officers would salute as the guest passed.

Agrippa would stand watch during the whole thing. He did not want to show himself now, but maybe...someday. Star Zero would know he was alive.

Most of the SeaQuestian officers returned to their respective ship after bidding their host farewell and thanking them for the party. The newly appointed Brigadier General Andrews had sent the PADD back with Ensign McRead with a message to her senior staff to be ready to transfer to the Preserver when they got the chance. She stayed in the Observation Room as things quieted down. Andrews stood looking out at the Preserver thinking about what might come due to the orders she had read on the PADD.

OOC: Though SeaQuest has holdings in the Milky Way Galaxy, none of the three species' homeworld is located in that galaxy.

Before leaving, Nhur-Galladu again approached President Cutter.

“Excuse me but I wished to have a word with you before I board my shuttle. It is desired that I would like to open diplomatic relations with your nation, perhaps even exchanging Embassies in the near future. When you are ready, just contact any of my planets and we will respond.”

He looked into Cutters eyes, reminding her of the way a grandfather looked at his grandchildren.

“Thank you for the invitation. I enjoyed the time I spent here, however brief.”

(Insert response here)

Nhur-Galladu slowly boarded his shuttle. Shortly later it lifted off and returned to The Serendipity. It faded out of existence, as well as the rest of the Honorguard Fleet at the edge of the system.

As most of the guests had been taking their leave, Lord Mistress Dani thought it best to do the same. After she caught up with Atriax and The Knight, the three made their away to the docking station where the shuttle lay awaiting departure.

Atriax and the Knight walked ahead of their Mistress and entered the shuttle (as was custom for the Empress to enter last). Dani stayed behind briefly to say a proper farewell and then headed to the shuttle, herself. "I will look into sending a permanent delegate to maintain contact with you," she said as she entered the shuttle.

A short time later the shuttle had reached the escort fleet and the entire group entered hyperspace on their way home to DMG.
