OOC: Ok, I'm starting this thread because the other participating member w/ the story can't, so I'll just start off by saying this is a diplomatic, part-discussion, part-RP thread. I'll let him introduce the story.

the strike cruiser the deamons bain exited the warp the empeor said to the drop pods my marines yes sir

4 drop pods were ejected and lainded in the desert the battle brothers exited praise be to the emepeor and the empeor and ahis orygin body gaurd could be seen

"Holy shit!!" Yelled Ralph Hidalgo as the huge cruiser leaped into view from nowhere. The station Unity-1 went to high alert as the ship launched several small, pod-like objects from its side. Ralph went down to the comms center immedietaly and went to get an all frequencies transmission to the unknown ship. "Ensign, I need an all-freq (ooc: pronounced all-freak)transmission NOW! Find out who they are!"

"Already on it sir! I've also informed high command on the ground that we've got an unidentified ship up here," responded the ensign.

"And get us to DEFCON 2! Scramble the Angel fighters, we need something out there to observe! But make sure they don't open fire! The last thing we need is to piss off some aliens and have 'em blow us to kingdom come!"

***

Back at high command, things were moving quickly. The alert level for conventional forces had also moved up to DEFCON 2, and already, planes were up to find out where those pods landed. A dozen helicopter gunships filled with soldiers took off from their air bases around the desert. All over the country, EMP devices were charged, and ballistic cruise missiles were being prepped on their launchers. All of these forces were converging on one general location, with a single objective in mind. Find out what the hell is going on.

coms this is space marine strike cruiser the daemonss bane we were deliveing our emepeor for a meeting
tatical brothers target nova cannons

Comms this is space marine strike cruiser the Daemon's Bane we were delivering our emperor for a meeting.

"Oh... it's the Sephrions... why the hell didn't they tell us it was them??? Keep DEFCON at 2, but recall the fighters." Ralph thought for a moment. "But keep them fueled and armed, we don't want to risk them being unavailable should someone be following them... And get word out to High Command on the ground that it's just the Sephrions, and that they can recall the gunships, and that their Emperor is on the ground with a few guys..."

***

Back on the ground, all but one of the gunships were recalled, and conventional forces were reduced to DEFCON 3, and missiles were stood down. The EMP systems were kept on standby, and the Overlord was called from the war-room.

***

An aide walked into the war-room. "Mr. Schiess, the Sephrion emperor has arrived."

"Excellent! I'll clean up and head out to the airport immedietely."

"Uh... sir, he's already on the planet..." she replied.

"What??"

"He and several others came in via drop-pod. We have a gunship with a squad of soldiers on the way to pick him up. He's going to come straight to the capitol."

Zach was quite surprised at this, and realized that the cruiser must've been the emperor's flagship. And that was what set off the DEFCON alert. "Very well. Assemble the Gaurd for his arrival, I want to make his stay as comfortable as possible. And call the Embassy Hotel, I want their whole upper floor reserved for the rest of the week, by the Overlord's orders. And get the war elevators prepped for their arrival!" The aide rushed off with all of these orders.

the empeors power armour was golden temiator armeour his orgin body gaurd saod sir mesea non be likin dis shouldt u p snaped the empeor be fore i excute you
the 20 space marines were 7 ffere tall wereing black power armour whith silver trim and a white book and chain sword loago stoem bolters and chainswords could be seen

A single TH-101 Pigeon Heavy Transport raced across the desert terrain to the Sephrion emperor's drop location. "ETA 30 seconds to drop-off, we have visual" stated the pilot. In the back of the Pigeon, several viewscreens activated to show a view of the 20 or so Sephrions. "Holy mother of--" one soldier began when he was cut off by his sergeant. "Men, these guy's are Sephrions. We haven't actually had contact except by audio with them. Watch your language and don't piss 'em off. Make sure you keep your weapons safed, and don't get twitchy."

"Sir yes sir!"

***

The helo sat down about 20 feet from the Sephrions and the side doors opened. The squad of soldiers came out of the helicopter and gathered up in formation. The staff sergeant was the last out, and came up to the group. When he approached, he felt very tiny, even though he was a solid 6'5", he was still dwarfed by even the shortest member of the Sephrions. The others were all over 7 feet tall, dwarfing him incredibly. "Uh... you guys speak English?"

the space marine near the abh human said yes why what off it

The sergeant, feeling a bit more confident in himself after finding they do indeed speak English, continued. "Well, for you information, you're in TWP territory. And we," he gestured toward his squad, "happen to be today's greeting party. Which one of you's the emperor?"

i am said the golden armourd one
stand down space marine said the empeor

The sergeant looked in the direction the voice came from. The emperor stood a good foot taller than the others, and the sergeant thought to himself, #how the hell are we going to get these guys to the capitol???#. "Sir! If you'll accompany me, I'll give you the lowdown of what goin' on here, sir." He walked towards his radio man and told him quietly, "Hey, listen... we're gonna need ourselves a coupla' trucks to get these guys back... and they should prep the storage for a mass store, 'cuz this armor ain't gonna fit anywhere."

"Yes, sir!" the radioman replied.

The sergeant walked back to the group and awaited the Sephrion Emperor.

space marines with me nooj stay close the empeor said to his troops he walked over to the soldier

"Alright guys," the sergeant began, glancing up at each of the armored giants, "this is the deal. We're gonna call in a few trucks to bring y'all back, since our helicopter simply isn't big enough to carry or even transport any of you. Once the trucks get here, we're gonna load you up, take you back to the capitol, and take you guys to the storage where you're gonna have to drop off your battle armor. The gaurds can go ahead and keep their weapons, but if any of you aren't gaurds, then you'll have to leave your guns with your armor. Don't worry, they'll be just the same as you left 'em when you get 'em back, we use this high-tech storage system that I'm sure the Overlord will discuss with you if you ask later on. We have the top floor of a hotel reserved for the rest of the week, and rest assured, nobody's gonna be botherin' y'all unless you ask for 'em to come up." He glanced around at the horizon in the direction of the capitol. "The trucks should be here in about 20 minutes, and its a 40 minute ride back there fully loaded." He then proceeded to quickly examine each of them from where he was standing to get an idea of what he was facing. They seemed pretty hierarchal and cermonious... almost like holy warriors from the Crusades. Yet one of their number only had on a basic set of what looked to be BDU's and a bullet resistant vest. And it was the shortest of the group. He decided to ask rhe emperor about it. "Uh... sir, with all due respect, what's with that guy?" He pointed to the strange Sephrion.

oh nooj hes an orgyn an abh human superstrong hes no space marine hes my loyal body gaurd hes an imperial gaurd the empeor said as nooj checked his flayer&scaled up storm bolter) mesa stay by you sir said nooj the empeor sighed nooj if i didnot wish to train a new bone head i would have but abolter shell in your head so shut up

The sergeant was non-plussed at the speech of the ugly creature. He was personally surprised at the apparent professional appearance, but horrible speech they seemed to have. Except for the Emperor of course, his personal gaurd seemed to not be the brightest bunch. But looking at their armor, he figured it would take nothing short of a direct impact from an anti-tank missile or heavy artillery shell to take even that ogryn out, and even that looked unlikely. He personally had seen the kind of beating the Dragoons could take, and he was sure their powered armor wasn't anywhere near what this stuff was. He looked out at the horizon. He could barely make out the pattern of the camouflaged cargo trucks, but he could see the dust clouds they were making as they sped across the desert. "Alright Sephrions, the trucks are just about here. Gather up your gear and get ready to go, because we don't particularly want to stay here for very long." He went back to his squad. "Okay, you ladies can go head back into the helicopter. Tell the pilot to get it prepped to leave, we're gonna escort these trucks back to the capitol."

About 5 minutes later the trucks arrived.

the empeor snaped nooj stay close if you dont i wil peronaly use you for target practice

space marines honour formation 1
load up itnot the trucks lads

When the space marines began loading up in the dozen trucks, the sergeant got into the helicopter and patted the pilot on the back as a signal to take off. Quickly launching from the ground, the helo began orbiting about 500 feet above the trucks. "Alright Pigeon, we are go, over," came the signal from the truck's convoy leader below. The convoy began to roll towards the capitol.

***About 40 minutes later***

The top-side buildings of the Capitol came into view. Most of the structures were low, white, concrete buildings with very few windows. There were several very high radio/microwave and full-spectrum sensors set-up here and there, but that was it for tall structures. The convoy slowed down and fell into a line. There wasn't much top-side vehicle traffic that day, so it was easy for them to stay together. The random citizen who WAS above ground that day however, would have been amazed at the sight of the Sephrions in the trucks, and there wasn't a few children who had to change their pants when they got back home. Several people thought that there was a war that had just started, since there was no announcement, and quickly ran into the nearest building for its elevator to the actual city. Finally, the convoy reached a large, open paved area, with an area ahead of chrome-colored metal the size of two football fields. The trucks pulled onto them with direction from the War Elevator handlers of the day, and it began its long descent. As they went down, the world above them was closed off with what could be compared to missile silo doors. In fact, there were several layers of such doors, meant to withstand incredible amounts of firepower in the instance of war. As the first door was closing, the flood lights flickered on in the shaft, and the technician in charge turned on the intercom from his shack, which was built directly onto the platform. "Ok everyone, dismount from the trucks. We'll have an escort for you in the city." He clicked it off.

they stood alertly on the backs of the trucks the empeor sat and said nooj you are to keep the power armour sucure yus shairh he sluted
