Drane frowns. "Good manners, eh? Was it good manners when she called my wife a bitch?" He sighs, and waves a hand in the air. "Never mind, you people do what you want, I need some fresh air." He exits the bar without looking back.
Tinfect wrote:Were anyone watching the Bar's entrance, they may have noticed the entrance of the familiar-to-some Diplomatic Overseer of the Imperium of Tinfect, his heavy coat closed for once, having finally gotten around to having the fasteners repaired. He looked haggard now, a far sight from the flat, dignified expression he had worn during his tenure as the Imperial Representative.
He made his way to a table, and wiped off the mysterious coating of dust that seemed endemic to halls of the World Assembly. A wandering member of the Bar's staff eventually asked if he wanted anything, "Yes, something from Balder, the year is irrele- No, actually, the first years; before the Terraforming."

"You looks like you needs a good purr," he then said, sitting and curling up his tail by his side. "What's happened? You looks like you's lost a fight with a bigger cat over who gets the sunny sleeping spot." He thought a bit and added, "Or with a bigger human."

Tinfect wrote:"Ah, I had wondered if you were still here." said Markhov. "Yes, we have certainly lost something; ships, a battle." he sighed, "A war perhaps. Security, of course; in any case, I have found my position to be somewhat unnecessary at the moment." He reached into a coat pocket and produced a small can of fish, "In any case, I would presume you would have more interest in this?"

WA Kitty Kops wrote:The cat's eyes immediately fixated on the can of fish and he licked his lips, leaning forward and lifting one frontpaw slightly as if about to take a step, but remaining seated on the spot for now.
"Fish is always good," he said eagerly. "But why's you people having a war anyway? I thought you was happy inside a fence. Oh, and the friendly plant's gonna be happy you's back, it likes you."
Whovian Tardisia wrote:Pink had caught Markhov's entrance out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously began to listen in.
"Shit." He thought. A Whovian vessel had been near Tinfect, and they hadn't received communications from it for quite some time. He took a seat next to him.
"Overseer Markhov. It's been a while. I couldn't help but overhear. You mentioned a security issue, yes?"

Velnax turns makes a circular motion with one of her claws and conjures a new can of fish into being. 'If you really insist, take that. Empty cans are worthless anyway.'

"Ah, yes, as I was about to explain to the Cat... whose name escapes me-" Markhov turns to face Ambassador Pink, "Ah, but, while you appear to know me, I believe I was only aware of your apparent predecessor?"

"The process has the side effect of changing my appearance, so while I appear to be a new person, I am still the Ambassador Pink you knew before. Please, go on."

Tinfect wrote:"Regeneration." Said Markhov flatly, "Of course, I apologize. I certainly hope your... near death, has not been of difficulty to you. In any case;" he manages to retrieve the Can Opener from his coat, "You are aware of a certain, unfortunate period in Imperial history? I have made no secret of our destruction of an alien civilization some time ago. Suffice it to say that a substantial population of them appears to have survived. They have of course, rallied the civilizations along the Border to their cause, and have now acquired an Imperial vessel; I trust you have gathered enough from the drafting halls to understand why this is concerning?"

"Well..." Markhov gestured aimlessly for several seconds, and failed to come up with any useful words, "I- Yes, I suppose. That is... sufficiently accurate, yes." He began to open the Can, "More accurately, I suppose, the Barrier could very easily become compromised should the technology become sufficiently understood, or, they could simply produce more; which may itself be a more concerning prospect." Markov slid the now open Can across the table to the Cat.

Whovian Tardisia wrote:Ambassador Pink gave a brief nod. He had taken an interest in the Imperium's history after the Atlas had lost contact, out of concern. The situation resonated with him somewhat.
Pink lifted a finger at the cat's remark, but lowered it as he realized that it embodied the basic concept fairly well. At mention of the Barrier, he decided to inquire further.
"It wouldn't be the first time though... would it?" He posed.
Potted Plants United wrote:Once Chief Inshpekshuuner started to eat, a smartphone attached to a small copter drone flew in through the open window and settled on the table next to him. The halfgrown black cat barely turned an ear in that direction, but he did hunch over the can of fish a bit more, as if ready to defend it from unwanted intruders.
The smartphone turned on on its own, as soon as the copter drone's blades stopped spinning. The screen displayed an incoming call, and a background image of a patch of green jungle.
"Overseer Markhov, it's so good to see you back here at the World Assembly!" the voice spoke in Marrov. It sounded very familiar. "The hivemind of Potted Plants United here, in case you couldn't guess. Also, my apologies for not sending a speaker plant to the Bar to properly meet with you, but I have a reduced number of them here in the Headquarters currently."

She finds perching on one of the ceiling beams more comfortable than being on the floor." There was a brief pause in the hivemind's words, as though it was referencing said information.
Potted Plants United wrote:"Ah, so the Imperium is not quite as genocidal as you have believed, with some survivors coming back for revenge? And if they can indeed get past the Barrier, then I think the note that my friend tacked on about you ending "up to your ears in crap" might not be too far from the mark. But aside from that, I was wondering if you could perhaps help me to decipher something of a mystery; why would certain people who I'm quite sure have never had any dealings with the Imperium be asking me for a character reference of one of your countrymen? I'll display the name on the smartphone screen for you."
The screen read, using Marrov alphabet: Illaren Errent.
