[h2]Banha Akiyama[/h2] [h3]Conablum Labs[/h3] [@Flamelord] [@Savato] [@Absolis] [@Pirouette] [hr] Banha couldn't understand women. Ruiko had seemed so set to go as far away as he could from the Labs but now she was accepting their invitation? What the hell? He shook his head and let out a small frustrated sigh before looking at the marines. "Most of you boys stay here, your presence isn't needed. Two of your best comes with me." Not waiting for any response, he walked towards the portal and stopped in front of it. He looked behind him and the marines to form behin him. He stepped into the banquet, gently putting a hand on Ruiko's shoulder and whispering in her ear. "Ruiko-san, I advise you not to go ahead like that. We still do not trust these people and I want you to handle them like varren. Be polite and bargain but keep them at a distance. I don't trust these people any more than I can throw them." He then walked up to the assorted table of weirdos and psychopaths and bowed. "I am Supreme Grand Leader Banha Akiyama and escort of Madam Ruiko Saten" he gestured for the diplomat to come forward and continued "and we are here as extension of Nova himself, leader of the Imperium. Our orders are to negotiate and make an alliance with your faction." He grabbed a familiar bottle of alcohol from the table, taking his helmet off and raised it. "But for now, we should celebrate this meeting with this amazing banquet of yours. To peace and prosperity through the universe, shall our alliance destroy our combined Enemy and vanquish them from this realm." He raised the bottle higher and discreetly pretended to drink from it. Tensions were high and he wanted to put negotiations later, when the tension wasn't thick enough to cut with a knife. And drunk diplomats usually made mistakes, he would have to warn Ruiko later.
