He didn’t think they would respond. In fact the Diktat was actually almost afraid of the possibility of it. But Renn Sal did send a message to the galactic empire and they had responded. He looked over the response once again.

Your cause draws interest from amongst our ranks, a shining example of resistance amongst the hegemony of the Republic. You will not be a slave to their lies and fools laws...They would oppress you for your freedom.

We may have what you require.

The more he thought about it the better he was feeling with the thought of working with the empire. It did not take him long to compose his next message to the Empire.

We are honored by your praise my lord. Perhaps we could meet somewhere to discuss a agreement formally.

We offer our welcomes to you brother. You are right to seek us out, to know the touch of the Imperium and the power of the Empire it serves within. We are all but aspects of a greater whole, and few are greater than the Empire.

We alone can provide you with enough troops to sever the Republic from within, leave it weak and bleeding. The Empire? It can deliver to you the body. Bit by bloody bit.

Merely name the place and we shall come. And your deliverance shall be assured

I think it would be best if we met in the Hrix Asteroid field my lord. The belt consist’s of Hrix asteroids (including Hrix 3, Hrix, and Hrix 17) which marks the "upper" part of the asteroid cluster. The Arcadian sun is visible beneath the belt and the secret Hrix shipyards were also there. The belt is known to be in an obscure location, as even native Arcadians and expert pilots have to ask for its coordinates.

I will run the blockade wile you will enter unnoticed and unchallenged. Please meet me there as soon as possible.

Then we shall attend, and we shall forge an alliance to shatter the Republic and emerge triumphant. Few are those who can stand against the might of the Imperium and the Dark Gods!

The ship cruised towards the asteroid belt, having ripped out at the very edge of the system, sauntering slowly towards them. It bore no markings, no identifiers to show it as Chronosian. It could merely be some lost ship, wandering into a precarious situation, or a derelict, plying the empty paths of space and time, desperate for refuge.

The subtle but precise manipulations that brought it gliding into the field spoke otherwise...

The Diktat's personal ship, the Real Deal made its way out of Aeo's atmosphere and through the republic blockade. After making a blind hyperspace jump the Real Deal jumped back to the Hrix asteroids.

Diktat Renn Sal looked out the canopy towards the field. The Chronosian ship had already arrived and was docked among the hundreds of ships being constructed. Satisfied, Renn gave the proper identification codes and brought his small transport in for a landing.

He made sure he looked presentable and then beaconed the Protat Shyla Vel to join him disembarking the ship. The pair walked up to the chronosians already waiting in the conference room.

"Greetings"

For the absolute great empire!

The figure was a hulking brute clad in power armour, dwarfed by the Astartes at his side, the ceramite clad warriors of the Space Marines. He chuckled slightly, teasing a hand through long blonde hair, seating himself, his cloaks billowing about him. His eyes were gleaming blue, staring out from a youthful, vigorous face. He let a gloved hand close around a glass, raising it to his lips.

"Greetings brother, in the name of the Imperium and the powers they serve. We are here to further your advancement, to remake and reforge you that you might better serve the Empire than you ever could the Republic. We shall grant you all that you desire, if you would but aid us in this, most glorious endeavor."

Renn Sal was a little above average hight for human males and here he was looking up at the leader from Chronosia. Sal inwardly cursed at the physical disadvantage he was placed in, but hid his feelings well and his face remained placid.

"We are ready to serve the empire of course. Perhaps we could discuss the details on what exactly you wish us to do," He said sitting down opposite of the man.
