[Subject - 'Potted Plants Union' Collective Intelligence - Point-Origin World Assembly - Unknown Location]
I wasn't certain how jealously Imperial Intelligence guards information it receives, hence the offer. Does your position allow you access to all the information in the Imperial Archives, or are there things that would be classified even for the head of the diplomatic wing of the government? Miss Leveret has comparable status in Araraukar, but she always complains about being allowed full access only to information about foreigners, not the internal affairs stuff.
[Reminder - Relevant Information regarding Information Classification is Classified Class 3]
My desire not to hurt other sapients and to avoid armed conflict with other nations is based on conscious choice, much like the Wads'. I have done enough experiments to know what horrors I could inflict on others if not restricted by the WA resolutions, and even come up with ways how I could spread myself uninvited and undetected to the homeplanets of various ambassadors here. However, doing that would be rude, like going into someone's home uninvited and without their knowledge, even if you didn't intend to take anything or break anything. I much rather go visiting as an invited guest and valued trading partner, or move into a room they're willing to rent.

As for moving from interfacing to integrating... not yet at least. Ambassador Markhov, I am less than a decade old, and as I've grown, I have found that both my intelligence and abilities have grown nearly exponentially ever since I first became aware of existing. If I cut that growth short now by choosing to integrate with machines rather than see how far I can reach on my own, I might never know my full potential.
[Subject Ignorant of Integration - Do Not Inform]
Also, as evidenced by the leafsnake and the second generation speakerplants, I have studied and adapted animal anatomy and physiology for my own needs. Less obviously to you, I have previously done the same with fungi and other plants. I have also been studying computers and their approach to data storage and manipulation, and I have adapted some functions from how they work, as well. Why should I rely on other entities, whether biological or mechanical, if I can do the same things with my own bodies? That way at least information security is absolute as only I have access to it.


Finally, something that was largely inoffensive to Intelligence. The issue of classification was easily side-stepped, and it seems that the risk of cybernetic integration in the Hivemind was not an issue, for the time being, at least. With no pressing issues requiring more careful consideration, his response is written quickly.

Imperium of Tinfect - Diplomatic Oversight
WorAss-Echo - Mng. [Arc 371]

Classification: Class 7/Tactical Archive - Capacity Informal/Unofficial
SysSec - [Arc 371] - II/AD Cert

Origin: World Assembly Grounds - Diplomatic Overseer Alexander Markhov
SysForge - Archive 1 - Relay Iseleth-3

Target: 'Potted Plants United' Collective Intelligence


Imperial Intelligence serves a number of quite public functions, of course, the management of the Imperial Archive, and simple Research and Development, for example. The specifics of Information Class, are, of course, developed between the Praetor and Imperial Intelligence, and as perhaps is apparent, one of those has little to gain through unnecessarily restricting the accessible information to Oversight Personnel. There are, of course, specific levels that I am unable to access, for example, specific information regarding the nature of certain Civil Oversight and Military programs, due simply to the fact that such information is unnecessary for my work, and would only pose a risk to the information security of the Imperium. Beyond that, I cannot say with either certainty or legality.

One finds that theoretical engagement such as those you have stated are often valuable. Something often-heard when determining the position of the Imperium in regards to issues of concern to our Military, is that 'Tactical Options must always remain open.', presumably, this is regardless of the ethics of the matter. It is, of course, quite good that yourself is willing to restrict such things to theoretical matters, excepting, perhaps, critical matters.

As to your final points, I can offer only recommendations of efficiency. Biological processing is inherently restrictive, and limited in its capabilities. However, given certain particulars of your nature, this limitation does not seem to be of concern to yourself.


With that latest response complete, Markhov found himself wondering how things were going back in the Imperium. Perhaps Saar had begun another nonsensical legislative crusade against some aspect of society he has deemed distasteful, or perhaps ordered that more trees be planted again. He took the tablet off the table, and switched it from the various messages between himself and the Hivemind, to the Imperial Central News, and then towards an entirely obscure local publication, the 'Long Watch'. Unfortunately, it appeared that Civil Oversight had achieved very little of late, at least nothing that concerned the average citizen. The only thing of note appeared to be a brief editorial regarding unusually high-opinions of the Aeravahn amongst the younger in the Imperium. Had their return not demonstrated itself to be entirely irreconcilable with the Imperium this would be cause to rejoice; but now, while forces long-dismissed gather once more to strike, every weakness poses a thousand flaws to be exploited.

The woman sighs. "No, Banana Bob, you can't. Guards are not allowed in here. Just wait outside a little longer. Here, one sec." She reaches into her purse and takes out a wooden ball painted with what appear to be gumdrops. "Take this and have fun with it."

"Thank you Miss Bubblegum!" the bananas shout with enthusiasm. They quickly scurry out of the bar, leaving the woman to herself.

"They mean well, but they don't have any brains at all. After all, they are bananas." She shakes her head and returns to her drink.


Upon hearing the pun, Ambassador Pink points both fingers at the sentient bubble gum and says "AAAAAAAYYY' He then turned to Janis.

Saved them some work and gave us some convenience, what with just hopping over in one of those - " He continued, gesturing to his TARDIS - "as opposed to having to find our way through the parliament building." He sips his ale before adding, "The place is a bloody labyrinth."

Reposting for Bell's reaction...and anyone else.

Skylus wrote:"If you insist, Mr. Bell. So, there I was, my sword in my right hand, staring down the White Dragon. He said "So you came crawling back for more?" To this, I replied, "Somewhat. I was chosen to kill you, and I'm going to come back until I do."
Fudge got real pissed off after that.
He flew up into the air, once again completely obliterating the ceiling of the Great Hall, which still hasn't been fully repaired...soooo...
Yeah, so the ceiling was destroyed.
Anyway, right after this, the Dragon's voice came through the now massive hole "Come and fight me, Animagus! I'll be waiting..."
So, what could I do?
I summoned Dragonus, which" here, Lauren gestured to the sword on her back, "is the sword spirit of this, and the Dragon and I took to the skies above the school.
We fought. The Dragons tried to incinerate each other. You know, typical fighting. Then Fudge did something incredibly stupid and I managed to get on top of his giant head.
I stabbed him.
He screamed, of course, and rolled over onto his back.
I somehow managed to not fall off, and stabbed him again.
Then he began to fall.

My Dragon caught me, but Fudge wasn't dead yet, and attacked Dragonus.

I don't remember much after that, but I do remember getting the scar...It was he last resort, you see. He missed.
Fudge was falling, he made a last ditch effort to kill me. His claws flashed towards me...and...that was it... Or so I thought.

I woke up in the Infirmary with bandages all over me some time later.
I stayed in there for about 2 weeks, completely bored out of my mind, then returned to my classes."

Tinfect wrote:*snip*

A beige-and-orange striped young cat padded into the Bar and, avoiding notice to the best of its ability, took its time to give wide berth to the loud-speaking groups and snoring ambassadors as it made its way towards the wall with the windows. When it reached Markhov's table, it jumped on top of it, dropped the folded-up paper it had been carrying in its mouth next to the man's hand and then sat down on the table.

"Hello!" it said brightly. "I's the Junior Inshpekshuuner of the WA Kitty Kops. I heard you's got a leafsnake here, and I just had to come look at it. The Chief Inshpekshuuner said they's much nicer than the usual snakes in the ventatilotion tubes, not hissy at all."

The leafsnake in question fluffed up its scales a bit, but then lifted its front part up, and touched noses with the half-grown cat in a cat-like greeting.

"I's heard they change colour and everything," the cat continued in a happy chatty tone of voice. "I wonder how difficult it'd be to see one inna forest or something. I think they'd be great toys - I mean, if they wasn't friends, I'd never wanna hurt a friend. But if there was a colour-changing toy that looks a bit like leaves, it'd be a lot of fun trying to find it! Especially as it only smells like plants do, so couldn't find with smell either..."

Then the feline went on about hunting toys and hunting "tasty squeaky things", apparently intent on talking until his company went selectively deaf or tried to throw him out of a window.

This text will eat itself out of existence within the hour and continue to reduce the substrate to a mush within a day. Faster in moist conditions.

Ambassador Markhov, I wish to speak with you off the record, privately, unofficially and preferably undetected by the Intelligence.

If you agree, drop off your electric communication gadgets at your office and come to 20th floor maintenance corridor, the one leading to "air freight platform". I will see to getting you from there to my offices.

To signal your agreement to this, pet the cat that brought the message. If you reject the offer, shoo him away.

OOC: Edits because of the note text being slightly problematic. The meaning of the message does not change.

Pink ponders this for a moment. "Interesting. Perhaps a rift created by the scar of a destroyed portal? Maybe on some silly micronation on an old water structure or something?" A crunching sound was heard, and a small crack appeared on one of the walls of the bar. Pink spotted it and raised an eyebrow. "Hmm" was his only comment on it.

"Oh, no you don't."
Lauren shot up from her booth, crossed the room in about three seconds, and somehow managed to bodyslam Ikiti away from Whiskers, even though the creature was more than twice her size in weight.
The two landed on the floor and the Witch acutally backflipped away from Ikiti and took out her wand, not caring as to what happened to her after this...

OOC-If I overacted, I'm sorry.
Let's just go with it, nothing's going to happen...I hope....

Though large in size, Ikiti probably weighed less than the female human slamming into her, what with the Tikrr having evolved to be as lightweight as possible. She was not used to any melee contact while on solid ground and so, when attacked, her instinct was to get higher to attack from above. She jumped in the air and tried to spread her wings, but was at the last moment warned by her cybernetics that there wasn't enough room, and so she landed roughly on top of the bar counter with half-furled wings.

During her jump she had also drawn all of her lungs full of air to initiate the second instinctive reaction to being attacked; a sonic onslaught intended to stun or even kill whatever it was directed at.

"RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

If not for the Weapons Nullifiers, the sound, being near the top register for human hearing, probably would've broken most glass items in the Bar as well as deafened anyone unlucky enough to have ended up between Ikiti and the attacker, or in direct line behind the attacker. But as things were, the sound was dulled enough to merely cause clinking and clattering as bottles and empty glasses on the shelves behind the bartenders vibrated. Those caught directly in the path of the sonic pulse might have slight headaches and tinnitus, but at least their hearing organs would not be in immediate need of medical attention.

The shriek also served to alert her Roost to come to her help.

The Riser delegate, having both finally mustered its bravery enough to enter and actually locate the bar, freezes on the threshold at the sight of a giant bat being bodyslammed and now being threatened by a stick-wielding woman.

"... This one was warned about places like this..."

It continues to hesitate on the threshold before somewhat reluctantly entering, and takes a seat that allows it a fairly clear path back to the exit... just in case escape was needed.
The Riser delegate stands at just over six and a half feet tall and bears a vaguely humanoid shape. All other features are obscured by layers upon layers of elaborate robes and veils in varying patterns and weaves of silver, the hands are covered with meticulously wrapped strips of cloth so that only the tips of short nails are exposed, and even the voice is ambiguous. The plate on the Riser delegate's desk bears the Romanization "M'yullouand'inthouahuynn y yht Shoa Vouaniya A'alayoulin Luath'louad". Stuck to that, there is a large blue Post-it note with elegant handwriting that reads "Do not bother to try and pronounce this one's title. This one is simply the Riser delegate.".

OOC- I am so sorry for "god-modding" earlier, I guess I didn't read enough posts or something..however, Giants Bats has rolled with it, and now I must pay the price/roll with it...so...


"Oh, you're gonna scream at me now? What's that gonna do?"
No sooner had the last syllable left Lauren's mouth that she heard something.
It sounded like...
An answering call.
Several calls. Coming closer.
She slowly turned towards the bat creature, now realizing her error. The Witch put away her wand and slowly raised her hands in the universal "I mean you no harm" gesture.
"I didn't know! I thought you were going to eat him! Okay?"
Meanwhile, the sound of the high-pitched cries outside was growing closer and closer...
....What have I done?!

OOC- Edited for grammar/punctuation issues.

"Argh!" cries out Ogenbond, covering his ears. "What the hell was that? I haven't heard something that dreadful since I was at the Battle of Oltsen."
While she had no regrets about throwing the lever to douse her husband's mistress in molten gold, Blanche did feel a pang of conscience for the innocent bystanders whose proximity had caused them to suffer gilt by association.

OOC: I'd probably use "that" instead of "when".

It sounded like...
Wings.
Huge wings,
Multiple huge wings.
Meanwhile, the sound of the wings was growing closer, and closer...

You probably wouldn't hear their wings (not many wingbeats needed to just dive down towards the Bar's windows), but you might hear some answering calls, less-earsplitting but about the same frequency. Just 2 are coming, but to an untrained ear they might sound like more than that.

EDIT: And I'll get back to adding for Ikiti once I've slept a minimum of 6 hours... *qwertyface*

OOC: Thanks, Ara. I'll try to add onto the RP between us two later.
The sooner we get it done, the sooner Lauren can see Will and Terry again.

OOC: No worries, I saw your edit note. But could you edit your previous post here to change from wingbeats to answering calls?

"What?!" Janis was crouching low under a nearby table, unwilling to take her hands off of her ears.
