[b]Kwedolobhakalleny Walls, New World[/b] The new colony had done well for itself, the landing area the crew had chosen was perfect for farming. One colonist wanted to land in a swampy area surrounded by poisonous water, but everyone else just laughed at him and thus they picked a spot with fertile soil and plenty of wild plants for food. Over the many months the colonists had built substantial walls, both for protection from wild animals and from the other colonists. Luckily, no conflict had come up and coexistence seemed to rule the bay. A while back, one of the soldiers had almost died, but he had been found by his partner and safely carried back to the colony. However, he was is bad condition, the prevailing theory was that his cuts had been infected with poison from some plant. The colonial doctors were doing their best, but aside from keeping him comfortable all they could do was pray to their respective deities and hope that the soldier's own immune system would fight off the infection. The peace of the colony was soon to be shattered though, as a call came from the watchtower they had built. "There's something out there!" Called out one of the guards The man beside him, who had a telescope, called out as well. "It's a person! The skin tone is strange, but it's definitely a person!" Soldiers rushed to take up defense positions, their white and gold uniforms in stark contrast to the green plants and the brown wooden wall. They unsheathed their muskets and began loading them, those who had finished the loading process cautiously moved into the wilderness, searching for the strange-skinned person. After just a few minutes, a call came from just barely within the wilderness. "We've found him! Are you sure he's human? I've never seen such dark skin before..." The rest of the soldiers ran towards the sound, and found four soldiers paralyzed with fear pointing their muskets at the strange man. "Definitely human, there are too many similarities." Said one of the soldiers "Think like we're all dogs, he's just a different breed." The rest of the group nodded, understanding the analogy. "Take him to the governor, get all of our linguists on this. Figure out what he wants." Said the General assigned to the colony. "Understood, Sir!" [b]Kwedolobhakalle, Governor's House[/b] The strange man had been taken to the Governor's House, when the Governor saw him at gunpoint and wearing what he saw as torn and ragged clothes, he immediately yelled at the soldiers to put their guns down and get out. Afterwards, he had his servant prepare a gourmet meal for the man. Knowing that breaking the language barrier would be hard, he brought in linguists and, while eating his dinner, the strange man essentially engaged in a game of charades that explained the concepts of both their languages that would be needed in a contact scenario. After the exercise (which the linguists found hilarious to watch), the Governor had picked up on the man's language extremely fast, as it heavily resembled Ancient Vanjanani. It was much harder for the man to learn Modern Vanjanani, so the two agreed to communicate in the land's native language. They talked for a while, and the Governor soon learned that the native people of the continent had claimed the area as their land and wanted the colony to swear fealty to the local king. "Well, good sir." said the Governor in the native 's language "I do not have the authority to do that for all of my people, as most of us live in a completely different land than this one that you call the Motherland. Our leader is there right now, and only he could swear fealty to your people. I shall have him informed as quickly as possible. As your definition of fealty appears to be consistent with ours, a mutual pact of protection with some benefits going from the vassal to the lord, I believe he could very well accept. Though we could pay the compensation, he has given us explicit orders to form the best possible relationship with any nations we find here, and weaseling out of fealty wouldn't accomplish that goal at all. I will make sure he personally comes to deliver the message to this 'King Baba-Uti'." The Governor was just about to order his servant to clean up the meal (Which the messenger seemed to enjoy) when he remembered the infected soldier. "Oh yes, one of our warriors was mauled by an orange feline with black dots. Our people said he would be fit for duty in a few months with the correct treatment, but he has fallen ill with a sickness we have never encountered. It is only logical that it is native to this land, as such, we would be very grateful if one of your healers could take a look at him." [b]Prussian Request[/b] Jade Sigfrid Halvar has ordered the army to march on the Prussian rebels and assist the new government's army wherever they can. 6,000 recruits and 5,000 regulars have been sent, interestingly enough, they seem to be focusing mainly on rebels in former Numburg. [b]Former Numburg, LexBurg[/b] A woman walked into the capital building, she was wearing Vanjanan formal dress, which would look incredibly out of place on a woman in a Germanic nation. She was wearing a military uniform, a single four-pointed star on her as identified her as a Colonel, and the division insignia identified her as a Siege Engineer. She walked up to Lord Markus Finch, while the government had changed, she was still pretty sure he was who to report to in regards to the project. "My Lord, I have come here to assist with the flight project. I am Colonel Ukundiza Kjerstin of the United Vanjanan Empire, I have a letter of mark and recommendation from Jade Sigfrid Halvar, and letters of Mark from the majority of the Representative House. I have been trained in physics, engineering, and mathematics, and may have come up with something for the project. None of my peers in Vanjana found a flaw with the concept, so I have come here to present my idea to the minds working on achieving flight."
