ENDLESS SPACE: Rise IC -CLOSED- NEW IC

[Imperialisium]

Meeting of Emperian and Charzakian

Kara'ne listened intently to Na'hrli and replied, "Well I can assure you their are many other species in the Galaxy, some good, some you would rather fire at and ask questions later. But moving back to the point I suggest a formal embassy be arranged by both of our nations. As the Empire is ever wanting in information, in return I have no doubt my own nation will provide as much interesting information as you so desire."

The Primarchs office

The Princess looked at the Primarch of him threatening war on both factions and turned back to Edvard (well now Edvard) and Lightfire, first replying to Edvard with a warm smile, "The pleasure is all mine." Then simply stating, "No one is declaring war here, Vortukia will be fighting more than Korosians and Reichians in that regard."

It was more a reassurance to the ambassadors that they had someone on their side, outside of an energy field. As a treaty signed in force was seldom a good idea at this point.

[The Fallen Jedi]

SCP-076

Able snarled at Rouge, he then put his weapons down, and they disappeared "Fucking Vresh, you will also be my combat target, like i faced off with Agent [Redacted], trust me, do not piss me off you lousy Vresh." Able snarled at Rouge.

Rogue

The equivalent of a chuckle was made, more like a snake's hiss extended over a longer period. "I have devoted my life to protecting my master, the Primarch. I have worked and fought to impose his will and to better relations between the Caregivers and the Vresh Hive. What have you done but be a blemish? A freak? A singular oddity in the Universe. You are one while my people, even though they are distant to me, are many. You devote your life to violence while my people devote their life to survival and perfection. You try to cause chaos wherever you go while the Hive seeks order and peace. You destroy and leave devastation in your wake. We rebuild and leave a new order in ours. And yet I am the lousy one?"

OOC: figured a Vresh POV would be nice since people apparently see them as mindless drones or killing machines.

SCP-076

Able started laughing like a madman "You are nothing but a freak that has yet to die, however you seem to be a good opponent like Agent [Redacted], so i will let you live, but be warned, piss me off enough, and i will not be responsible for my Actions, and even if i respawn in the Coffin in the Ambassador Frigate, and eveyones blood gets on the hands of The Primarch, expect 'The Old Man' to return, as we have established a "Friendly Relationship" since we were contained in the hands of The Foundation" Able chuckled.

[Veroxia]

"It is alright my friend. I will try to resolve this war once and for all. My dearest comrades have given me the conditions that they wish to met. Of course, we may change them if needed."

0-96

0-96 started to run furiously across the jungle-like forest, full of fear arms confusion. It was like nightmare for him, and he didn't know what is going on.

"Who is that?!" 0-96 shouted furiously. It was becoming more of a "Hunger Games-like" situation where he was lost and fighting for survival.

Edvard Richtofen (Premier Richtofen's Host Body)

Edvard firstly glared at the Primarch, he then muttered something before turning to General Lightfire "Ah hello General, but it will be difficult to regain our alliances, since New Germany was destroyed, but we can try, and i don't have much of a choice as that Vortukian." Edvard Richtofen pointed to The Primarch "Imprisoning my Son and his friends in this Citadel-Prison, but either way, i find this a win-win if my Son dies, but let us begin eh?" Edvard Stated to General Lightfire.

Omnicidal SCP-682

The spirit of 682's Omnicidal appeared within 096 subconscious "Guess who you fool, i am 682's Omnicidal Personality, i find it amazing that you are not clawing your face like a Bitch when i looked at your face, oh, and walk to the left for 1 Mile, that is where 682 is." The Omnicidal 682 stated.

General Lightfire

"I see. So here are the conditions given by me:"
-The Communist Reich will have it's territory returned.
-In accordance to KRE law, the Communist Reich will pay for half of the total damage while the KRE will pay the other half. Any ask of change will not happen.
-Economic trade between our nations will continue,only if a trading ship first contacts the KRE Trade Centre and has an ID.
-A DMZ is to be created within our boundaries.
-Any ship found near Korosian Borders will be commandeered and it's crew jailed without lawyer.
-KRE Forces will withdraw Communist Reich territory,but will continue to have some militia forces to train and protect the territory.
-We ask for a renewal in scientific relations and a inter-civilization research program.
-Nuclear or any highly-powerful weapons will not be permitted until further notice.
-Finally,forgiveness...

0-96

0-96 started to calm down after trying to think through what was going on and sat in a meditating stance. He started to hum and sing a little and told the creature speaking to him.
"Fool,leave at once for you no longer haunt me!"

"These three options i find unreasonable because, with our Ships being commandeered, that was because we were going to pick up 096's species, and for the highly-powered weapons, we cannot agree to it, because one: you started the war, you also were overheard wanting to decimate our Secondary Capital, and for the is third option: we find this unreasonable, as we do not require protection from you, as the Dark Jedi will do this." Edvard stated.

682's Omnicidal Personality

682's Omnicidal Personality let out a demonic laugh "I'm not trying to haunt you bitch, im telling you where my other person is, so i suggest you listen to what i have to say." The Omnicidal 682 stated.

[Charzak]

Meeting of Emperian and Charzakian

Na'rhli listened to the proposal with great intent. While he did come with the authority of the Emperor, he did not know if the Goddess would allow foreigners to settle on Charzak. Taking the safest route Na'rhli grumbled out a reply, "I agree that formal embassies should be arranged between our great nation. However, I am still unsure how my people will react to the news that we have made contact as of right now. Additionally, the hyperspace routes into the Empire are volatile and constantly shifting, with the one we came from to arrive here being the most stable we have detected thus far. Traversing the lanes back to Charzak right now would be a logistical nightmare, so while I agree, we will have to work out more minute details. Now as you may guess, we are a predatory species that loves the thrill of the hunt. With that in mind, I propose a formal mutual defense pact between our two nations, in the hope that it will bring greater security and opportunities to us both."

Na'rhli knew the Empire needed this. The Charzakians as a people were not the type to just sit back at peace. While yes, they did enjoy the occasional lull in fighting, there was always a human threat to be countered and the last major one was over two hundred years ago. The Empire needed a war, and they needed it bad. He just hoped the Emperians would be able to provide them with one.

Edvard Richtofen scanned the Generals look for a moment "Where, exactly will these weapons be restricted from?" Edvard asked, he then turned to the Primarch "Once this meeting is over, i need this machine off, if i try to exit out of my son, it will tear me apart." Edvard stated to the Primarch.

Omni 682 sighed "To kill me would mean to kill my other Counterpart, as we are one, and even if one of us die, one cannot exist without the other, but anyways, keeping walking north for one mile, you will encounter 682." Omni 682 stated.

"Well first we would have to get this shield down, or its maybe that the Primarch still plans to keep us contained in this shield, but wither way, i could walk through this shield, but if i did now, the Dampener will tear my Spiritual Body to pieces, but not my consciousness, it would be fragmented yes, but since i live on the Planet of spirits, or Olympus XXV, the guardians would be tasked with reuniting my fragmented spirit and my Spiritual body, and mending it back together, so basically, my Spiritual Body will die, but not my consciousness, as most of my consciousness is on Olympus XXV, that planet cannot be attacked as there were no recorded coordinates on that planet."

Command Room
The pilot - lead astronaut John Hope - was spinning around on his chair, watching the researchers scram from telescope to telescope, trying to identify the radioactivity. Suddenly, he heard a voice appear on the communicator.

---

He sat back in his seat, astonished. "Oh my gosh..." he said, staring at the communicator.

He dashed out of the command room and yelled at the researchers, who were bickering, "There is an unknown voice coming in from the communicator!" One of the researchers, eyes wide, asked, "Are you sure it's not Athia Planetary Command or Smoyan National Space Agency?" he asked, his heart pounding faster. "No," replied John. Suddenly, all the researchers ran to the communication panel, as if forgetting about the radioactive light.

He replayed the message, and all of them were surprised. "Another civilization, eh? Just what my boss predicted," said one. "Reply to it now," said another. Out of nowhere, John grabbed the mic and spoke into it.

"Greetings. I am Space Admiral John Hope of Smoya. May I ask, what is 'this land'?" asked John, his voice filled with curiosity.

"Smoya?" Caris said, off the comms. The aide he was questioning shrugged, looked through this datapad, then shrugged again "Maybe that's what they call that class of ship?"

"Who puts an Admiral on a ship that size?" Another aide asked, jumping into the background conversation.

"Maybe it's a lifeboat?" came the reply. "But wouldn't a lifeboat have a distress beacon?"

The background conversation degenerated into wild speculation while the Captain turned his attention back to the communication link. "Welcome Admiral Hope. This is Captain Caris, and you have arrived at the world we call 87-Quintus. Are you in need of assistance?"

[United Soviet Jason Republic]

New Engia:

Engis lined the parade route, cheering and waving flags. The Parade was led by marching troops, all in green uniforms, carrying the Confederation flag, and flags for each world. They were followed by the Armored division, and overhead more planes flew in formations, some of which dropped colored bits of green, black, and white paper. Many civilians held pictures of the royal family, of which the most common and most popular was the princess, who had an entire planet built in her honor. On her planet, the Engis there were preparing for a visit, and a visit on the moons, each dedicated to a member of the royal family.

Nova Prime:

Walter looked at the man sitting across from him. Then he looked down. Walter began to sketch out what he saw. "What do you need from me?"

Athia Planetary System:

Three Engi Cruisers jumped into the system. They were un-cloaked and then scanned the system.

John stared for a couple seconds at the communicator and replied, "Um, yes please. Well no, but yes, well, kinda. We came to this planet because it was the source of odd images coming from our colony on planet Athia in the Burr System. May we land?" he asked.

In the background, the researchers were on laptops taking notes while others tried to reach Athia Planetary Space Command.

Charzakian and Emperian meeting

Kara'ne listened intently and nodded, "Although I cannot sign a treaty myself I will certainly make a detailed report to my superiors whom would have authority over any political happenings. However I will leave a probe in this system in which you can beam information for communications purposes to it, hence it will transmit the data to the nearest Imperial world and so forth. That way our two civilizations may remain in touch with each other."

In truth and unbeknownst to both Kara'ne and Na'hrli the Charzakians would have their war sooner than they would like. As near Imperial Colonies in this Galaxy laid the Human Empire of Kharadon, and they had managed to open a temporary gateway into Helion, the hellish sub-dimension locked away by the Emperor so many centuries prior. They had done it by discovering an ancient Helion artefact that had once belonged to Emperian Explorator Harkus Ulythe during the initial Emperian exploration of the region.

Kharadon itself only came into existence about 180 years ago and contact between the Emperian Empire and Kharadon was brief at best, with the latter ruled by a Arch-King that. However with the influence of the denizen of Helion it was no doubt that Kharadon would be a pool of new pawns in a new war to carve out a realm of Helion in the realm of reality.

Kharadon was Interstellar capable, boasting a mainly civilian fleet, however in secret they were building a Navy and Army modelled after the Emperian Guard by black market trading between Human sympathizers in Imperial Space. Using Kharadon and its 60 claimed worlds as a base of operations.

New Engia

The Emperor indulged the roaring crowds with waves and smiles that swooned Engian women and girls alike, he made his way to the Engian Senate in an official visit and to indulge any waiting Senators. This was a sign of not only official friendship but one of close, personal, and equal adoration for each other.

Charzakian and Emperian Meeting

Na'rhli was relieved to hear that this treaty was a possibility. "I am pleased to hear that. I expect this to be a great partnership between our people, in addition the Emperor would most likely like to meet with your representatives as soon as possible. While your probe is here, know that we plan on making this a colony world of the Empire. It is tradition that we only build new colonies on worlds we have conquered from humans. The tradition is ancient and know one alive today remembers the original intent, but is sacred to us and we have several prominent families bidding on the next world, being this one. That being said, please tell me about this region of space. It is much farther out of our territory than we have gone before. Are there any threats we should know about?"

[Smoya]

New Engia:

Engis lined the parade route, cheering and waving flags. The Parade was led by marching troops, all in green uniforms, carrying the Confederation flag, and flags for each world. They were followed by the Armored division, and overhead more planes flew in formations, some of which dropped colored bits of green, black, and white paper. Many civilians held pictures of the royal family, of which the most common and most popular was the princess, who had an entire planet built in her honor. On her planet, the Engis there were preparing for a visit, and a visit on the moons, each dedicated to a member of the royal family.

Nova Prime:

Walter looked at the man sitting across from him. Then he looked down. Walter began to sketch out what he saw. "What do you need from me?"

Athia Planetary System:

Three Engi Cruisers jumped into the system. They were un-cloaked and then scanned the system.

Athia Planetary Command
A man whose name was Rex stared at the outer layer of Athia - it's atmosphere. It was night outside, but only 4:00. He said, "Ugh," when he realized his break was in half an hour. All he did was scan signals in the atmosphere.

But suddenly, he noticed a blue dot suddenly appear on the screen. "The heck?" he said to himself, and checked to see if he wasn't seeing stuff. He wasn't.

"Boss," he said, shaking the shoulder of the woman next to him, "we got a signal."

A girl with nicely combed brown hair looked at him and straightened her glasses. "Oh my gosh..." she said. "Rex, call communicators."

Minutes later, in the communication room...

An older man leaned back and peered onto a mic. He waited, with lots of people watching this instant. He said shakily into the mic to the ship:

"Greetings. I am Rex Walter. I believe we have not met."

New Engia, Senate Hall:

In preparation for the arrival of the Emperor, shields where placed to close the normally open air senate hall, in order to allow the Emperor to speak without the 370K heat. The Monarchists were eager for the arrival, and where all sitting towards the right center of the hall. The Senate Podium was decorated with green and white cloth, and flags. Senators where filing into the hall, all in there green and white robes. The Consuls where sitting just under where the Emperor would speak, and in the back news cameras were set up. Around the Senate hall crowds of people watched the Halo screens, cheering for the Emperor.

Athia Upper Atmosphere:

The three cruisers plunged into the atmosphere, using their wings to pick up lift, and fly. They were nearly a mile long each, and would surely be a spectral while arobreaking. Their coarse happened to bring them over a major metropolitan area. They received the transmission from the ground, and sent back a reply of prime numbers in a repeating sequence. They then sent a more formal message.

Greeting, we are the Engi Confederation. We seek knowledge and trade. We hope you seek the same. 

The next file contained the Engi life specifications, information on the Federation, and diplomatic leaders. They were careful not to give scientific knowledge and cultural information, afraid of contaminating what appeared to be a pre FTL civilization.

Suddenly, military planes and ships flew in the sky, waiting for the Engi fleet.

Athia:

The three large ships flew to a desert, where they landed. It was the only place sutable for them to land their massive ships, other than the tundra, which Engis hated. The three black triangular shaped ships flew through the air, coming down gently in a powered landing in the desert. Then, from a small exit, a small raptor left the cargo bay the center ship and landed infront of the fleet. They waited.

The planet had suffered downpour after downpour of rain, but Davy Jones did not care about this at all, he was bound by an oath of the planets god Calypso to bring the spirits onto the afterlife, but when the love of his life Calypso had disappeared during the day that he could set foot on land for a day, when this had happened, Davy Jones had not followed on with his new duty, and in his corruption of his duty, transformed him into a hollow shell of his former self, even his physical appearance had been altered, with his face becoming a Cephalopod-like appearance of his face, and the rest of his body undertaking dramatic changes, ever since that day, Davy Jones became a very cruel man.

Davy Jones
"The Flying Dutchman"
(Same Music Continues on)

aboard "The Flying Dutchman", the man revered as Davy Jones stood at the bow of the ship as the rain continued to pour down on the planet, as the rain continued to fall, Davy Jones looked out to what had appeared to be an endless sea, the sea had still reminded him of Calypso, whom promised that in ten years time, they would finally be together again, but when she disappeared, Davy Jones had become a cruel man. Davy Jones sighed, but not in content or sadness, but in anguish, as he did no longer love Calypso, he had been fueled by rage ever since "Calypso..." Davy Jones silently said. (Music Changes Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fe9W1gZPUs) And as he turned to his crew, he yelled out an order "Prepare for the ascention!, we bring our havoc on the unsuspecting!" Davy Jones shouted, and with the order heard, "The Flying Dutchman" began to transform into a massive space craft, heading up into orbit, and jumped into the Warp, headed for a random location of its choosing.

Charzakian and Emperian

Kara'ne nodded and spoke, "Very well, expect a prompt follow up message from my nation on another meeting. As for dangers this has been a quiet system until late events and the surrounding space has been quiet as well. The only other nation out here is that of Kharadon to Spinward (Galactic East, Imperial Colonies in the Milky Way are in Galactic East). Kharadon is peaceful with the Empire I assure you and they are suitably far to be of no concern."

New Engia

The Emperor ascended to the Podium with all the grace of a demi-god, as if an inner light shone through him that was warm and blissful. The Emperor stood for a moment, drawing in the crowds attention before starting, slow at first, only rising in carefully measured increments,

Friends, comrades, handworkers of great renown, bringers of peace and a golden light of civilization...Engians; I, as a friend and admirer of your achievements must profess my adoration for the wonders you have wrought amongst the stars. I feel only the humblest satisfaction of being able to come here and meet all of you here today, I wish I could trade greetings with every Engian living if I could; but, alas the universe is not so fortunate; yet, do not remorse my dear...dear friends. For each day that our two nations stand together only can bring us forward, and that on our worst days we are better than any nation on their best! May all of you live long and happy lives!

As the Emperor looked about from the podium he gave a nod to the Monarchists present, but also to everyone else about the hall. He preferred to keep his speeches short, but inspirational, the Engians were after all an example of rich culture and industry in a often dark cosmos.
