Emporer Hekan Deltev is the new Emporer of the Empire of Charzak. He is an honorable and just man. However during the long trip to the Second Flagship Tournament he started to wonder about his future. He had it all fame, fortune, and millions of happy followers. But he longed for something else. He longed for a family of his own. Then one day he found what he was looking for. One of the officers on the bridge of his flagship the Razgriz caught his eye. The lady approached him. "My lord you seem troubled what is on your mind?" she said. "My people are like family. A large extended family that looks to me for guidance. However it isn't enough. I wish for a real family." The Emporer looked away after saying this and sat in his command chair.
"My lord do you have...... never mind it wouldn't be my place."
"No please go ahead." The Emporer wondered if she was going to ask him what he wanted her to ask him. "My lord do you have someone in mind that you would marry?" she asked. The Emporer then looked apon her and said "Yes I do.. and its you. What is your name?" The woman blushed (or at least what the Charzakians consider a blushing). "My name is Dorika. Dorika Erfang" she said. "Well Dorika will you marry me?" the Emporer said with a twinkle in his eye. "Yes I will!" Applause sounded through the bridge. The new couple held each other in their arms and kissed. They then went to the conference room to plan their wedding. The following nations are wanted to attend:

You are invited to Emporer Hekan Deltev and Dorika Erfang wedding!

Nations wanted to attend: Greywatch and any other nations that will witness the love that these two share.

Time: 1300 hours military time
Date: 14-2-4821 (tomorrow in real time)
Place: Charzakian Royal Palace, Bara'dur, Iona, Charzak

Greywatch Plaza, mid-day:

A woman with long blue hair sat alone in a busy plaza, looking over a few papers. A man sat down across from her, he had silvery hair and was dressed in a white diplomatic uniform. The woman looked up from her work, “Pegasus.” The man smiled, “Kira.” The woman put her papers down on the table, “You have that look in your eye. What do you want me to do?” Pegasus chuckled, “I have a mission for you.” Kira rolled her eyes, “Figured, so what do you want me to do now? Am I supposed to do something godly?” Pegasus shook his head, maintaining his gentle smile, “No, no, nothing like that. I want you to attend a wedding.” Kira raised an eyebrow, “Say what?” Pegasus went on, “There’s a nation known as Charzak, Greywatch came in contact with them a few times in the recent past… Anyway, their emperor is getting married and we were kinda invited to come. The Council can’t make it because, well, you know them. I figured I’d send you and maybe someone else.” Kira looked back to her papers, “You’re going to pair me up with someone who’s my exact opposite, right?” Pegasus shook his head, “No, if I wanted to do that I’d send you with your brother.” Kira thought about that for a moment, “Okay, that’s a scary thought. So who do you have in mind then?” Pegasus looked around at all the people in the plaza, the large buildings, the activity… “I was thinking maybe another Elden. Maybe Alexia? And probably a Drone, just to get the capture the entire thing for the archives.” Kira raised an eyebrow, “It’s an emperor, don’t you think they’ll have enough cameras there as is? As for Alexia, you could send her but I’m not sure you’d want to. Last I heard she was in the science/tech/mechanics field of work. You might want someone who could serve as a proper Greywatch rep, other than me of course.” Pegasus thought about this, Xarniosi? No, they might scare people, and they don’t seem like the type to go to such things… though they might if it earns them a look into another race’s society. Leanorian? They certainly seem like the types who wouldn’t mind… they seem like the mingling type, as long as they’re not feeling threatened. But it’s a wedding, so I doubt they’ll be threatened at any point. Kiixori? Hell no, that just isn’t going to happen. Humans? Sure, but we’re all pretty much the same anyway, nothing special about us… I want this to be a good sampling of Greywatch. I know I’m sending Kira, so that covers the Elden side of things… Dragon-kin maybe? They’re never seen that much out on the diplomatic field… I’m sure if I get a Dragon-kin rep, they’d love it.

He looked back to Kira, “Perhaps a Dragon-kin diplomat, and a Leanorian? What say you to that?” Kira thought for a moment, “You’re doing the whole, ‘sampling of Greywatch’ routine, aren’t you? I’ve seen this before. You want to have Greywatch be there but also show them how diverse we are and such. I’ll go with a Drone, Pegasus. We’ll have a ship, if they want to meet others from Greywatch, they’ll ask.” Pegasus nodded, “Very well Kira, if that is what you wish. When can you be ready?” Kira looked over her papers and then back to Pegasus. She smiled softly, “I’ll be ready in a few hours. I expect by then you’ll have a ship ready?” Pegasus stood up and nodded, “Indeed I will. The council should be pleased that you accepted.” Kira shrugged, “If I didn’t, they’d find someone else anyway. Now then, let me finish my work here and I’ll be ready to go.” Pegasus nodded and walked away, disappearing into the crowd.

Later that day:

A Greywatch Explorer began its final checkups, its mission: go to the location provided by the message from the Charzakians. Kira was relaxing in her quarters, reading a holo-novel as the ship prepared to disembark.

<Control, all systems have checked out, do we have a green light?>

<Green light, granted. Go ahead with PSR activation, Explorer 233.>

The ship moved forward until it was well away from the orbital traffic around Prime. Then there was a bright flash, and a blue rift opened in front of the ship, energy crackling from its maw, massive gravitational disturbances pulling the Explorer closer. As the ship disappeared into the rend, another one opened near the coordinates Greywatch had received. The ship exited the rift that had been created in Charzakian space almost simultaneously to the one it entered back home. As soon as it exited a put out a message:

<This is Greywatch Explorer 233. We’re here, baring a representative, to attend the wedding.>

ooc: Is this set in a future time period or the current time period? As in your nation is super-advanced space faring nation that the MT nations on earth wouldn't have any idea is out there...

I want to include a few FT stories for my "Into the Unknown" thread and a marriage would be perfect. Thanks :)

OOC: Well it says FT nations only so I imagine it's strictly FT, and I've RPed with Charzak before and last I checked it was FT.

ooc: yes, I know this is FT, probably because of the (FT nations only) tag caught my attention....however that leaves the question...is it happening in the distant future or on the same current time as any other nation? I don't plan on RPing here, but I have a few ideas for my own thread.

Ooc: Tg

This is ground control you are cleared for landing at the Imperial Palace space docks. The Emporer must hold your people in high regard to let you land there. Upon your arrival 2 commandoes will escort you to the Emporer's conference room where he will be arriving shortly. Control out

The air contol officer was surprised that the Emporer had allowed the representatives to arrive at his personal space dock where his personal transport was. "Well as long as I get to go to the after party I don't care."

ooc: the Charzakians are a whole different race so the MT nations on Earth don't really know they exist
but yeah they are happening at the same time.

<Understood, moving forward now.>

The Explorer began its approach and docked without incident. Kira was already prepared for this little visit and was blinked to the arrival area as soon as the ship finished docking. She waited for whatever would come next. She was dressed in an ice blue dress-like uniform.

Two commandoes approched the representatives. They motioned for the representatives to follow them. They escorted them through a crowd of press and journalists to the Charzakian Royal Palace conference room where the Emporer was waiting. "Greetings I am Emporer Hekan Deltev. What is your name honorable diplomat?"

Kira nodded and followed without words until she was led to the Emperor. She bowed, never before had she been in the presence of an Emperor, "My name is Kira. No last name I'm afraid. Greywatch is honored to have been invited, and I'm honored to be in your presence."

The Emporer's red fur rippled with uneasiness. He still had to get used to this kind of thing.
"Well Kira my people are highly misjudged by the galaxy at large. I wanted to show them the other side of our culture. I invited you to my wedding to increase relations with our countries and to also discuss something rather important that we have discovered."

"Yes, I've read a few of the reports... but holding an event like this is a sure way to show the galaxy your other side." She paused for a moment, "What is this discovery you mentioned?"

ooc: no more people after this please
This is ground control permission to land permitted. Looks like your the last to arrive. You will be directed to the Battlestation Home1 where you will wait untill the wedding will begin.We are sorry the Emporer cannot see you at this time but he send his greetings.

Royal Palace:
"In order to understand this I must instruct you in the ways of our culture. Long ago the gods warred amongst themselves in order to create a race that would span the stars. This war lasted for thousands of years and eventually the gods settled on a compromise. They took parts of themselves and created us the Montryyutia, or Charzakians as we are commonly called. The god Dektis gave us our four legs, Kilor gave us our tail and spikes, Operana our fur, and my namesake Hekanas our honor. Now our forefathers recived a message from the gods. It told them of a place that would cure the people of war.
At first we took this as nonesense. But after what we discovered this new thing I believe it. Our scientists have discovered a new planet. Our what we thought was a planet. After mush research it was revealed to be a giant starcraft made by a race older then any others. Now we ourselves having brought life to the lost planet called Earth wondered how this happened. But anyway the starcraft has begun to power up and we don't know why. We need your scientific help to help unlock the secrets of this ship. Will you aid us?"

Kira listened intently to the story that was being told, "Interesting tale. Well we Elden are certainly good at digging up secrets. Odd though, I want to know how many of these 'Earths' there are because I've heard at least ten different mentionings of this planet, none of which ever claimed it to be a starship of any kind." She sighed, "I've been alive for over five thousand years and yet this galaxy never ceases to amaze me. I'll contact my superiors to see what can be done, but I'm a diplomat charged with overseeing a wedding in the place of my goverment. I'm no scientist, nor do I possess the kind of authority to give a green light on this. Give me a few hours and I'll have a response for you then, I'd like to say yes but I'm not going to make any promises."

On:
SB Valhalla
1 day prior
Admiral Golver looked at the intelligence report that had come across his desk. Upon discovering an Iconian gateway large enough for ships, Starfleet had authorized the construction of a Starbase on the Federation side of the gateway to facilitate exploration of the new territory. For the past few weeks they had been monitoring a few civilizations that appeared to have interstellar flight. It appeared that they used a different device beside a warp drive but not much else was known about them. Now with the reception of a marriage announcement, it was time for a proper first contact. Of the three ships based out of Valhalla, the Thunderbolt was deemed the best choice. Not only was the crew the most experienced, but as a Diligent (http://bfinfobase.org/index.php?title=Diligent_Class) class vessel, the Thunderbolt was best able to survive a firefight should one erupt.

Off:

ooc: Trecdom2 you are in the space station and we never met before so my people don't trust you. that is why your not in the palace like greywatch

Ic:
"The planet Earth is not the spacecraft but we were the ones who brought life to that planet. The spacecraft lies about 3 lightyears away from the edge of our Empire in an unexplored area of the galaxy. But on to other matters the wedding will take place tomorrow. Guards will be placed outside your quarters. The wedding will be in the throne room. I look forward to seeing you there." The Emporer then walked out to the comm room. "What room did you assign those unidentified representatives in the battlestation." (ooc: the Trecdom2 ones)
The officer looked at his computer and said "They are in room 2164."
"Send a senator to their room to inform them of the details of the wedding."

"Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Anyway, I'll see what I can do with the Council, I'm sure the Xarniosi will at least be interested. And as for the wedding, I look forward to being there." She watched as he left the room and then looked to a guard, "Can you show me where my room is?"

The guard escorted Kira to her room. "So your from Greywatch. Do you got a date to the after party?
ooc: you ever notice how often that happens in movies now?

OOC: I haven't seen enough recent movies but I've seen it in a few I'm sure
IC:

Kira shrugged, "Not really, I don't make plans for downtime during missions. You offering?"

"I sure am beautiful. Want to go with me?" The guard was going crazy for this woman. She wasn't even his species! "My name is Ryan. I have one of the few "Earth" names."

Kira smiled, "Charmed to meet you Ryan, count me in." Kira was quite interested in where this relationship could go, most people thought it odd for two different races to hook up, this was not the case with Kira. Her brother had married a Leanorian, it was hard to top that.

"Alright. Well I am assigned to guard your room for the night. So I guess I'll see you in the morning?"

Emporer's Room

"Hey honey?"
"Yes dear?
"Well I was thinking where are we going for our honeymoon?"
The Emporer became very surprised. He hadn't really thought of it.
"Why don't we go see the flagship tournament. I actually have to command the ship anyway. Then we can go to Rithio to spend some time together."
"Ok honey. I can't wait untill tomorrow. Good night."
"Good night dear."

"I guess you will, looking forward to it." She gave a smile and a wink and went into her room for the night.

USS-Thunderbolt
Present Time


“Captain, we have reached the co-ordinates provided by the Empire.”

Kristina arose from the command chair.
“Thank you. L’Ressa, take us to all stop. Ensign Abrigo open hailing frequencies, let’s see what kind of a response we get.”

It didn’t take long for the Bajoran to establish contact and put it on the main screen.

“This is Captain Kristina Erickson of the Federation Starship Thunderbolt. We have come in answer to the wedding invitation.”

The reply was quick and short.

This is ground control permission to land permitted. Looks like you’re the last to arrive. You will be directed to the Battlestation Home1 where you will wait until the wedding will begin. We are sorry the Emperor cannot see you at this time but he send his greetings.

The message was short and to the point. The Thunderbolt was not equipped for planetary landing under normal circumstances so it was put in a standard orbit around the planet. As most of the senior staff left for the transporter room, Kristina turned to Col. Krawic.

“You’ll be in charge until my return. Keep a transporter lock on us at all times, once we’re in the guest quarters I’ll contact you in order to beam down our dress uniforms. If things start to get dicey try to solve them without the use of force, open fire only if fired upon and after issuing a warning. If it looks like you’ll need to hightail it back to Valhalla it would be ideal if you could beam us back onboard first.”

The half-Klingon nodded.
“Will do Captain. Best of luck with the contact…”


Battlestation Homel

The senior staff, minus Krawic beamed down to the co-ordinates provided. Expecting a humanoid species they were surprised when they got their first glimpse of their hosts. L’Ressa seemed pleased that the Charzakians were closer to her species than anyone else’s. The guards that escorted the group seemed not to notice, or care about, the phasers and tricorders carried per standard operating procedures. Once shown to their quarters, they were left to their own devices. As they started to settle in, a hissing noise caught their attention. Pulling out his tricorder, Aaron Steele, the chief science officer, took some scans.
“The atmosphere is venting, I suggest we get out of here!”

=/\= Erickson to Thunderbolt. Beam us back now! We’re losing atmosphere. =/\=

USS Thunderbolt

Once the transport was complete, the crew quickly made their way to the bridge.
“Report!” said Kristina once she arrived on the bridge.

Krawic arose from the command seat.
“I’ve put us at yellow alert once everyone was onboard. The loss of atmosphere appears to be localized. We don’t have enough information about the station to establish a cause.”

“Acknowledged, Lt. Abrigo, open a channel to the Charzakians. They have some explaining to do.”

It didn’t take long to get an official from the empire, who apologized profusely and blamed it on battle damage. The group was assigned new quarters with the promise it wouldn’t happen

OFF

Royal Palace Outside Kira's Room:

Ryan couldn't wait for the rest of the 2 hours untill the wedding. He actually had a date since his wife died in the civil war. He was very nervous as he stood outside Kira's room waiting for her to come out.

Emporer's Quarters:

The Emporer and Dorika went their seperate ways in order to get ready for the wedding.

It was obvious that Kira had spent too much time with the Leanorians when she emerged from her room whering typical Leanorian dress. It was a little exposing, but she hoped no one would mind. She's been able to do a lot in one night, mainly with her hair. She had cut it and had changed the style. She noticed that Ryan was waiting for her and smiled, "Sorry, have I been keeping you?"

OOC: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff28/greyknightghost/gw295-1.jpg

ooc: ok i am going to fix this. yeah i actually was thinking about that. sorry bout that Trecdom2 but i fixed it. so let's get back to the wedding

OOC: No problem, editted my post

On:

While the staff sat around on the station awaiting further instruction, they passed the time through poker. A few of the officers had never been in a first contact situation before and asked if this was a normal situation.

"Define a normal first contact situation." The Captain dealt the next round of cards as she spoke.
"I haven't been on many first contact situations, but each one was different than the last. Ideally we would know more about the race we're contacting but in this case it wasn't practical. Since they already are aware of sentient life outside of their race so it makes our job easier, usually. Apparently they have been involved in some sort of war recently which could complicate matters. Usually they're either more paranoid because of a recent conflict or more willing to accept help because the war was so consuming. Only time will tell.."

Off:

OOC:
Not a problem.

Royal Palace

"No not at. Wow you look beautiful!"
"Oh brother." The other guard said with displeasure. "Can we please just go to the wedding."
"Oh right the wedding. Shall we?"

Throne room:
The guests started to arrive. The Emporer stood at the alter with the High Priest. "Is my fur all right?" "My lord even the gods are jealous of you today."

Battlestation:
The senator approached the Trecdom room and opened the door. "The wedding is about to begin. Follow me please." The senator showed them to the space taxi that would take them to the surface. After all the passengers were onboard the taxi departed for the Royal Palace.

Kira smiled and nodded, "Ready when you are."

"Ok then. Let us be on our way."
With that Ryan led Kira to the throne room and they took a seat in the front row.

The Emporer stood atop the alter and watched Kira and Ryan come in. He was puzzled to see that it looked like they were together. But who was he to question his people?
He was also pleased to see the representatives from that new nation here as well.

"Very well." Kira followed Ryan as he led her to the throne room and was pleased to sit up front. She'd not been to a wedding in another nation before, espescially not that of an emperor. It was all very exiting.

As they were seated the music began to play and Dorika walked up the aisle in a beautiful dress that matched her red fur. Once she reached the alter the High Priest began the wedding speaking in the traditional Charzakian language. Ryan translated for Kira for the next hour as the wedding proceded. (ooc: I am not gonna go into details because that would take forever and i don't have much time right now.) Finally the High Priest said "Hitry sedrwe qtera dr gjinga comtonias!" which Ryan told Kira means kiss the bride. The Emporer and Dorika then kissed and proclaimed that the nation shall join in one great celebration. With that Emporer Hekan Deltev and Empress Dorika Deltev walked to the celebration area to begin the after party. "Kira I know we havn't known each other long but I love you very much. The High Priest is still here and I was wondering. Will you marry me?"

"You've given a lot of thought to this I hope. I'm a diplomat, so I'll be traveling a lot." Kira didn't even bother to mention that fact that, being an Elden, she was thosands of years old and, from what she could tell, might very well live forever if someone didn't kill her. Then there were her abilities.... that might be something to save for later. Of course, Kira's brother, a mercenary and a Greyknight, had married a girl he nearly killed in a duel. Compared to that, this was normal. Certainly out of the blue, and to honest a little odd... but Kira did feel a slight connection to this man which, considering the fact that she hadn't been turned on in the last 4000 years, was a good thing. "If this is what you truly wish I will have no objects, Ryan. Yes, I will marry you." She spoke in a soft voice and wore a warm smile.

"Great! Um....Why not now? I mean the High Priest is here. Unless of course you want to get married in your nation." The Emporer, who had been meaning to talk to Kira about the "project", they discussed walked in. He asked "Am I interruprting?"
Ryan looked a little embarrased said "He wants to talk to you. Go I can wait."

Kira smiled, "Very well-" She looked to the Emperor who had just walked in. She looked to Ryan and then to the Emperor again, "Very well, I'm coming." As she moved to him she gave Ryan a soft kiss on the cheek.

Ryan returned the favor and watched as his fiancee (ooc: is that how you spell it?) walked to the Emporer.
"Well I see my people have been very friendly. I am very happy for you and him. Ryan is one of our finest. But onto grimmer subjects. I have just recieved a report from our scientists on the spacecraft. It wasn't as deserted as we thought. Our scientists and the military forces under Admiral Thi Gor are under extreme fire from a previously unknoiwn species. All of our reaserch, and our culture, will be lost if we do not recieve help. Will Greywatch come to our aid?"
(ooc: do you want to start a new thread for this our just continue in this one?)

Kira gave a grim look, "Well that doesn't sound good at all... I have talked to my people and they can send help, but it will take time. We were expecting this to be a scientific mission, not a militaristic one. Gathering ships of war and soldiers may take a day at the least. Perhaps it would be best if Greywatch summoned some of its allies for this battle. The way I see it we could use the help."
OOC: New thread would probably make more sense. As for the allies thing, I think it would be best if I got a few of my friends in here seeing as this could use a few more people.

ooc: Ok but keep it down to 2. i want this to be interesting. o but the unknown hostiles don't come in untill a little while into the research and they actually begin to drive my small forces back.

IC:
"Thank you. Now I'll leave you two alone for a while." The Emporer then walked back to the party to where his wife was waiting.

OOC: Gotcha
IC:

"Alright then." Kira gave a slight wave as the emperor left before looking back to Ryan and smiling, "Now where were we?"

"As I was saying do you wish to be married here or among your own people? It doesn't matter to me as long as we are together."

"I'd rather marry here." Kira smiled, as an Elden, her people were few in number and not the most social people in the galaxy. It would be best if she married here.

OOC: I'll go kick my allies in the shins when they get on and tell them to check the thread.

ooc: ok

IC:
"Great!"
Ryan then looked over to the High Priest.
"Um I hate to be a bother but wil marry us?"
The High Priest responded "Sure but I'll have to charge you. Just kidding. Please step over here so we can begin."
The High Priest then repeated the same long ceremony but in the language of most of the races of the galaxy so Kira could understand.
Finally he said to Ryan "You may kiss the bride"
Ryan then leaned in a kissed Kira on the lips savoring every minute they remained in contact.

What Ryan would feel was no normal kiss, it would be like kissing the very essence of life itself. An experience most would feel when kissing an Elden. She enjoyed this moment for what it was worth, her first real kiss. Despite her age, Kira had never been in a real relationship before. Though, she couldn't help but wonder what the future would hold. After the kiss she whispered in Ryan's ear, "Love you."

OOC: Does that officially end this thread?

ooc: yes but i have plans for a child thread later if that is ok with you.

OOC: That'll be a little complicated since most Elden are sterile, comes with semi-immortality deal. Also, I still intend for Kira to be a main char in other threads so she can't really settle down all that much. I'll give it some thought.

ooc people stop doing child threads and wedding threads due to they turn boring

ooc: ok yeah thats fine. but i was actually thinking about it and since the picture of Kira is a human it would be kind of weird for them to have children cause Ryan and all Charzakians are basicly centaurs with fur and a reptillian tail with spikes. figure that out.
nightmare!

OOC: Elden are the ancestors of humans in my nation so it's difficult to tell them apart. Anywho... enough of that for now.

ooc: yeah seriously. pm me when you make a decision
