[b]Nouvelle, Ground[/b] "I have finished all of what I want to say your majesty, however at a later date the EU requests a private meeting just between us and you." said Archmage Cavenus. [b]Nouvelle[/b] The EU shuttle docked with the Septonian one, and two guards aboard escorted the Septonian onboard, showing him to the supplies needed for his shuttle. While this happened he overheard something from the cockpit, and everything he heard was in a perfect version of the Septonian language. "Heard about New Condia yet?" said one of the voices. "Let me guess, its under attack again?" asked another voice. "Yeah this time by the Hives though..." "I saw the reports on those things, what they did at Outpost A-5 scares. The turned the civilians there into monsters, ignored all attempts at diplomacy. And while its not mentioned often, we tried to contact a more minor space-faring nation. When we arrived they had already consumed the entire nation. The way they refer to everything as prey and food... Its a parasitic hivemind, we can't reason with it. " "And then we got the Ethereals on our hands. Also ignored all attempts at diplomacy, and killed 1000s of civilians at New Condia. Trade has also suffered because of there attacks. And what we saw them turn our people into... Those weren't Iscandarians anymore..." "But were going to have to waste war material on a alien nation instead of uniting to face the greater threat. Excellent." The two continued talking, and were talking loud enough to where the Septonian could hear them, it seemed they had not realized that the the Septonian had come aboard. [b]New Condia[/b] The beam had hit the fleet shield as it was in the way of hitting the planetary shield, it fell, but only took a few moments for it to be up back up. Besides one or two kinetic weapons on each ship, the fleet had shutdown most of its weapons to keep the shields going, leaving the attacking to the Sazkarjhit ships. Ships could be seen on the far side of the planet warping in and out, although it was unknown what they were doing. [b]Alari, the Pearl Fleet[/b] A EU ship arrived near the pearl fleet, this time however it only had a shield and no weapons however, and bore somekind of bird holding a branch on the side. "We have come here in dire need. For you one of our colonies is under-attack by a parasitic hivemind. We can understand if you do not believe us, but a fleet to assist would be helpful. A unknown contact has also arrived and is ignoring all attempts at contact, and is assisting these parasites. There will be great rewards if you help, even if in the end we do fail to defend it. We also believe you may have come into contact with a nation we call the Septonians. They attempted a invasion of one of our colonies and we would like to try to sue for peace now, as we need to stand against greater threats."
