[quote=@Nucleep] The Yahupi find a lot of buttons, levers, knobs, dials and touchscreens on the bridge of the ship, as well as a large joystick prominently placed in the center, and two keyholes, with a mollyguard on top of them, on each side of the ship (with the keys coincidentally hanging nearby). It also seems to be powered by coal. In Federation territory: "Hmm, could we inspect these precious stones by any chance?" the lead merchant asks. "They may be of value..." The various merchants grin with delight at the coins. While the coins in themselves have no value to the merchants, there is plenty of gold in the coins that could be turned into useful wire, among other contraptions. Meanwhile, the robots stop loading goods out of the ship, whether it is because they were ordered to stop or there are no goods left to deliver is impossible to tell. The various merchants keep their silence, some even spitting in the man's face and calling them unintelligible slurs. The lead merchant softly but sternly replies, "I think I speak for our whole delegation when I say we will not kowtow to you barbarians." The figures go back to dealing to the day-to-day workings of the colony. Several fly-sized and invisible drones are sent to the Trogo and Yahupi lands, to observe their every movement. [/quote] The man facing those merchants orders the guards to remove their clothes and that they will be enslaved. The guards remove these merchant's clothes and all of their possessions and apply a few restraints to them. These merchants are taken outside, where they can clearly see some other slaves being moved about the streets of whatever town they are in. A horse and buggy sort of vehicle comes up to them and these merchants are loaded into it while the guards take position towards the back of it. The vehicle is long, almost as long as a school bus and there are 2 benches on either side where other slaves are sitting. The Vehicle is fully open to the air to humiliate the slaves who are riding. 6 guards stood up at attention, ready to beat any slave who talked back. The merchants are forced to sit down on the benches while they are restrained to the vehicle itself. With a crack of a whip the buggy rides off through the town and picks up a few other slaves where an hour or 2 later it ends up with them all being unloaded to a plantation where they are forced to work the long hours in the hot sun under whip and guard's watch. They are also completely naked. Humiliation of slaves is a thing here. They also heard a few gunshots and screams as a few slaves were executed. A warden came by and whipped them all and yelled at them angrily to work on picking the grapes from bushes and apples from trees and such faster than they are doing. The merchants are slaves now, pretty much... Meanwhile the other Yahupi continue attempting to move these airships while a few others try to get this thing flying, carefully. The drones pick up that the Yahupi are involved in a war against the Federation and they are a brutal slave holding barbaric society with a sun god based religion with strict laws and order. These people don't seem to be too advanced either, maybe 1780's tech at best. _ In the Federation of the delegate nods and looks to 3 others who run off and come back with 2 chests from a nearby bank. They open these chests up and inside are several precious gems mixed in with a few gold coins and other such valuable items. _ [quote=@CmdrAlfieq] "Will likely to work but one thing, cultural exchanges will created a little tension if both nations doesn't have something in common to infused and required to look over the ancestry past for any nation similarities beforehand." said Darston. - [u][b]The return of VNMS Trionator Battleship Class[/b][/u] The Colonial Government of the Veilletes has instructed the captain to raid a coastal town of Yahupi Island next to their occupied island under Veilletes Control. This time, the VNMS Trionator now has an escort consisted of 2 light cruisers and 3 destroyers heading for bombarding mission. The whole chunk of first's Yahupi island was now crumbled to the Veilletes influence. [/quote] "Alright, that makes sense." the commander replied. Another man shown Darston a paper detailing some things about the Federation. It seems they were a group of civilized small nations and some tribes who united under a system of a democratic republic of sorts to fend off an invasion of the Yahupi barbarians to the south. They are of a similar ethnic group and peoples, though it isn't the exact same. Meanwhile the raid on the next island was met with 4 cannon boats and 3 other heavy Yahupi battleships which began firing cannonballs and musket fire at them. Though this time there is something different in their arsenal, the cannonballs explode on impact with sharpnel flying all over the place aswell as causing fires. These ships were made out strong, sturdy wood and powered by steam, though they still had sails. _ Meanwhile after having some fun with people in local tribes and such, the entity known as Ashnah starts to head off in the direction of the Martian Colony though along the way she manipulates some weather carelessly to make it snow and lightning occasionally on her way there. Unaffected by the temperature changes.
