The repairs where rushed, as the Thomas Jefferosn was rebuilt. One of the other ships was determined to be scrap, and much of it's components would be placed into the Jefferson. It's nacelles were doubled, and it was given a backup Tesseract drive, in case the first should fail.

Once the reapairs were complete, the vessel turned towards Coredian space, and fired off a message to the Cordien Homeworlds. Because it was sent by an AI, the encryption could only be described as insane. Once decoded, the message, text and audio only, read as such.


This is Artemis, daughter of Admiral Jack Ray, to the LEader of Coreworlds. I am requesting permission to enter the space above your capital.

Konoha, Coreworlds.

It is the secondary capital to Jurai, under seige at this moment so it serves as the headquarters of the High Council at this time. As soon as the American Privateer ship arrived into realspace, it was immediately tagged by thousands of various weapons.

Permission granted. Use the corridor coordinates we give you. Any deviation will result in your untimely demise (or at least a massive ion cannon barrage then tow you out of the system). You understand.

The coordinates were sent.

Konoha, Coreworlds.

The coordinates were sent.

"Roger that"

The Thomas Jefferson tesseracted to the opening of the corridor, and then used it's secondary tesseract drive to fold the space along the corridor given to them by the CoreWorlds people.

"Ma'am, weapons have been trained on us."

"Raise sheilds, but do not power up weaponry."

A video signal was sent to the capital of CoreWorlds. On it appeared a woman who was clearly a hologram, though the rest of the bridge crew were obviously human.

"This is Artemis of The American Privateer starship Thomas Jefferson to the Planet Konoha. What is the meaning of this, we have come under flags of peace to your world, why have you targeted us with weaponry?"

"Standard operating procedure during wartime. You did fight us at Mationbuds so we can't entirely trust you yet." The traffic controller explained. "The High Council will be expecting you now. Please land at *coordinates sent*."

"Standard operating procedure during wartime. You did fight us at Mationbuds so we can't entirely trust you yet." The traffic controller explained. "The High Council will be expecting you now. Please land at *coordinates sent*."

"I understand, it would have been polite to inform us of your opperating standards as we arrive."

Artemis's face showed annoyance, though her voice was mostly annoyed.

"Registering Landing Pad. Plotting Course." Her voice went from human, to mechanical, and back, "We shall be on the ground shortly."

Her Holo-Walker activated itself, and walked into her private shuttle. It's computer interface linked to the computer, and Artemis downladed herself into the walker.

Behind it walked in two of her cyborg assistants, each specially trained to defend her. Each knew ever martial art known to man, but had the Defense Sub-routines blocked off by walls of programming, only to be used in the case of a direct attack on Artemis herself. Otherwise, they where nothing more than standard assistants.

Artemis followed the calcullated path, and landed on the pad the Konoha controller designated her too.

"Shall we go and meet these Coredians?" her assistant asked.

"Yes, let's." Artemis replied as she de-activated the computer interface, and projected an image of herself onto the holo-pad on the top of the walker. They opened he door, and walked out to meet those whom they had come to meet.

Godaime Tsunade, Master Lowbacca and Master Elendil stood at the base of the red carpet while the band struck up a chord. The ninja honor guard stood at attention as Artemis walked down onto the red carpet. Despite the underlying distrust that characterizes the ninja mood, politeness seems to win out for the day.

Tsunade and the members of the High Council bowed respectfully at the delegates. "We are pleased to see that you have arrived safely. Please, walk this way."

The Hokage lead them swiftly into a speeder-limo, and not long after, took them to the Hokage Mansion's Foreign Reception Room, where refreshments were being served and the meeting would take place...

Artemis was pleased that none pointed out her holographic state, sometimes she was proud of it, other times she was ashamed. The situation that had made her into an Organic AI was not a pleasent memory, and one she would rather forget.

At the greeting, her hologram bowed in thanks fro the greeting, as she gathered up the toga that was part of her holographic wardrobe.

Artemis looked at the drinks in longing. She had been twenty when she was killed, and thus had missed out on alcohol by a mere year. She knew that she could use the atmospheric sensors in her Holo-Walker could analyze and send her a message on what it tasted like, but she refused to do so, it seemed like to much of a compromise, and had decided that she was going to fully embrace her new life.

Her two assistants on the other hand, where more human then amchine, and indulged themselves with the drinks.

Artemis's walker moved forward, then set itself down. She adjusted her hologram, to make her appear as though she where sitting in a chair, one of the few things she indulged herself with.

"Thank you for meeting with us Hokage-san, I would like to start by once more apologising for what has happened between our two nations. Had we known the truth of the matter, we would have ended our alliance with them long ago."

Those ninjas with the ability to see through genjutsu, the Hokage included, saw that the hologram wasn't quite as real as a normal person would believe, but out of deference to diplomacy, they held their tongues.

OOC: Hokage-sama is the correct title, even for diplomats. Hokage-san's waaay too informal. -san translates as Mr. or Mrs. Somebody. -sama is Lord or Lady.

IC:
Tsunade ignored the breach of formality of the American Privateer delegation for now on grounds of ignorance. "The past is the past, my friend, and though we can't change it, we can move forward into the future. Now let us begin. I propose a peace treaty between our two nations first and foremost to formally end conflict. It would also have the bonus of allowing free travel between our two borders."

Artemis noticed a slight increase in blood pressure and body temperature in Tsunade, she knew that she had made a mistake, and started scanning her dictionary for the problem.

"A peace treaty is perfect, though a free travel proposal would normally be accepted, it can no longer be supported. In two days, Our people shall leave the last world that we truly control in two days. Our fleet will go into hiding, moving around as neccessary. My father has asked that I do not reveal our location for the first stop to anyone, though the next location, four weeks from now, may be given out once the fleet has arrived. Also, I seem to have made an error in my translation. Being at one time a human, I still can make mistakes. As such, I beg your forgiveness Hokage-sama."

Better. Tsunade thought. "Very well. However, I will say right now that our space is always open to our friends in times of need. Coupled with a peace treaty and holding the free travel proposal for now, would you be interested in trade or defense agreements?"

"Right now, what we would like the best would be a 'Relief Trip' to our world of Washington, along with messages of the disasters occuring there. However, instead of sending relief forces, send soldiers, lots of them. We plan to use it as a way to drain our opponents forces by grinding them down. Our Cloning Facilities are currently creating waves of bugs from Warriors to Blisters to Dinosaurs. They are programmed not to attack friendly forces, and will focus on our enemies. Our plan is to lure 1010102, MAtionbuds, and their allies there and destroy them. Also, If you could send out news programs talking about the earthquakes rattling the world and a hurricane that has stalled over the main city. While the disasters are taking place, the world was evacuated as soon as we had an inkling that something was going to happen."

"An interesting plan." Tsunade allowed herself a smile. "We could do that."

"An interesting plan." Tsunade allowed herself a smile. "We could do that."

Artemis's hologram flickered slightly, as she smirked, "I thought you would. It is why we decided to ask you to assist us. Just know, that .01% of the clones are disobedient, and as such, there could be some Blue on Blue attacks as the Clones get free. If we are able to find out which ones they are, we will order our loyal clones to attack the rouge ones, but there is always the possibility that we will not be able to stop it in time. There are some very big clones in our DNA catalouges."

Artemis thought for half a cycle, less then a second to any one else, and added, "If you know of any creatures we could add to the Cloning Facility, it would be greatly appreciated."

"You know, we've done dinosaur cloning ages past. Now they're a major part of Coredian ecosystems except for the places they aren't." Tsunade said. "What have you done so far?"

OOC: Sorry about that, I didn't realise my brother had logged in. Treat it as my post.

"You know, we've done dinosaur cloning ages past. Now they're a major part of Coredian ecosystems except for the places they aren't." Tsunade said. "What have you done so far?"

"We have reached the point where we can create flawless mass production of clones. We have tens of thousands of Warriors, hundreds of Raptors, over ninety Spinosaurs, hundreds of Mantis Assasins, thousands of Hoppers, and a massive amount of Bronto Scorpions for if they do invade our main city, they can come out of the ocean and freak out our opponents. With all of the resources going there, we believe we can increase the amount of combat clones ready for the invasion almost ten fold. Though it will take time for them to reach maturity."

"Interesting. Not only did you create clones, but chimeras as well." Tsunade noted. "Most interesting. Anyway, the important thing right now is the peace treaty."

She snapped her fingers and Shizune, who barely finished typing up the treaty, squeaked and printed it out on a sheet of fancy flimsiplast. Basically, it says from now and forevermore, peace shall reign between our two peoples, etc, etc. A pen floated to her hand. "Shall we?"

"Chimeras?" she thought as she registered the concept, and smirked. All of these creatures exsted in real life, out there.

"Of course." Artemis took a copy of the treaty with her holo-walker's manipulator. She held it up to the scanner, and quickly absorbed the words. "Everything seems in order. I have been authorised by my father to have full discretion."

A second manipultor appeared, and with a datapen in hand, she signed the treaty.

Smiling, she looked up at her opposite, and said, "It is good to have you as an ally, Hokage-sama"

"Now that we are allies, I have been authorised to send you the co-ordinates of our trap, they are being downloaded now."

"Perhaps you could send some "Relief" supplies soon."

"As we sign this, I must make a note of your cloning prowess: be careful of using too many clones with too few templates, for a nation like our enemy Chronosia can easily spread a plague that can wipe them out at once, DNA being the same and all." Tsunade warned. "Variety is always key when you clone."

Tsunade warned. "Variety is always key when you clone."

Artemis looked crestfallen at the mention of Chronosia. "Isd there no way to make peace with Chronosia, or does our alliance with you mean being an enemy of Chronosia?"

Meanwhile, she was drafting a memo for her father, warning him to search for more genetic material if he ever returned to Klendathu, while also finding genetic markers for the immune system, and highly improving them.

"Well then, we shall have to strengthen the immune system of these clones, using genetic engineering if neccessary."

She dug up the list of clones quickly, calling them up, "We have a list of our clones if you would like to see one."

"Chronosia...is Chaos personified." Tsunade sighed. "We fought many years to defeat them and they live still. They have exterminated the people of Naboo with virus bombing and they have gone as far as our planet of Tenetia, breaking that planet's moon into a ring. Every peace that has been made with them has been broken, so believe me when I tell you there can be no peace with Chronosia, with the forces of Chaos."

Every peace that has been made with them has been broken, so believe me when I tell you there can be no peace with Chronosia, with the forces of Chaos."

"Yes, I understand, Chaos is as Chaos does." Artemis snapped her head up as a screen opened up. On it, both sides, could be seen an image of a man dressed in a bandana and a painted face. "Ma'am, Mationbuds forces detected, the clones have been released. Operation Midway is working as planned."

"Glad to hear it Lieutenant. Maintain comms silence till they land."

Artemis turned to Hokage Tsunade, "I apologise for that, but it seems that the trap has been sprung, and Mationbuds forces have arrived on the planet's surface. Our combat clones have awoken, and are prepared to take the fight to the enemy."

"Very good. As I recall it, a part of our own forces are also in American Privateer space. Perhaps you could direct them to where they're most needed?" Tsunade asked.

"Very good. As I recall it, a part of our own forces are also in American Privateer space. Perhaps you could direct them to where they're most needed?" Tsunade asked.

"Just a sec, and I can pull up a tactical map for you."

Artemis started to pile up combat data, compiling a map of the situation, including reports from the TLO and NN forces. She was finished in the blink of an eye, and had a map up and running by the time she next blinked.

"Okay, we have the situation here in the Tortuga System."

"And here in the Washington system."

"There are massive numbers of 1010102 and Mationbuds forces in the area. NN has sent Carriers and Fighters to assist my traps over Tortuga V, and both TLO and NN have sent forces to try and stop the Invasion near the old location of New Tortuga."

She called up the Map of the Tortuga System, pointing out the joint ownership claimed by the various peoples.
