[h3]Iscandar, Immortal Stronghold[/h3] [@duck55223] "As have I. I am The Roa'marii Nightmare Emperor Nox Shade. It has been a long time since I've personally made contact with a race that didn't have the Roa'marii base species. Even longer since I've met one with such high magical potential like our own. I must apologize for bringing more ships than I was allowed, I regrettable forgot to inform General Sta'falia Silvad whom you see to my left about the limitations on her fleet to meet us here. If you wish, orders can be sent to call them back to Roa'marii space. But first I should allow my guards to introduce themselves." The first to step forwards was General Peltis, standing directly left of the Nightmare Emperor. "I am Roa'marii Immortal General Rhe'deri Peltis, I will be acting as a diplomat for the purposes of this meeting. I am commander of the Roa'marii 69th Ambassador Legion, and generally the diplomat of the Immortal Generals." Next was General Kaisur, to the right of the Emperor. "I am Immortal General Jer'rahd Kaisur. I lead the Elite 42nd Legion, Night's End. We are the ones called in to wage war, and while an all out war has been avoided for a long time, we are always prepared to fight." General Silvad stepped up next. "I am Immortal General Sta'falia Silvad of the 93rd Airborne Legion. I lead the Valkyrie into battle for the skies. Behind us are two of my top fliers, Cyc'lonis and Typ'nola. Both are extremely capable and hail from Cirra, among the oldest of the United Empire member nations." With the introductions out of the way, the Emperor spoke again. "Now that everyone has been introduced, we can move on to more pressing matters. I suppose I should ask now, with all of the precautions you've taken and the heavy defense of this Stronghold, why did you risk inviting me to meet with you in person in your home? I would have done the same, but it seems to me that this Stronghold of yours is far more secluded than my own Moonlight Castle." [h3]Hostel System, Orbital Docks[/h3] [@WilsonTurner] At the mention of Ror'kae, Queen Pes'tifero visibly broke. Her anger boiled through and it was only through all of her patience as well as the efforts of both her warriors that she kept herself from rushing out of the room back to her ship, not caring who got in her way. After a time she managed to calm down enough to speak rationally. Even still, the first words out of her mouth were: "Kill that traitor. I want her dead. The fall of Searo was her fault. No, better yet, capture her alive. I want to see her face while I gut her and rip out her mana core. See her pain as I tear out her implants one by one. Let me board her ship personally so she knows how doomed she is. I will reclaim Searo, and I'll start by eliminating the traitorous bitch that burned it down in the first place." As the other two Searonese Warriors tried to calm the Queen down, the fleet in orbit responded to the message sent to it. "As previously stated, I am Top Spear Ror'kae of the Searonese. I am the true leader of Searo and have led it to join with the United New Roa'marii Empire. I was formerly the heir to Searo under Queen Pes'tifero who you currently hold on that station. She planned to recall all of the Searonese Bounty Hunters to Searo in order to wage a war against the Roa'marii Empire. Such a war would have inevitably ended in disaster for all of Searo, and as such I led another group against this. When the Roa'marii received word of this, they responded in force and Queen Pes'tifero got the war she wanted. In the process, I joined up with the Roa'marii and led a precision strike on Searo Hold, ending the war before it caused the complete destruction of my people and forcing Pes'tifero to run. We have been tracking her for a long time now and have finally caught up with her. We are asking that you simply release her to us and we will be on our way back to Roa'marii space. If you wish to make further contact with the Roa'marii, I can provide coordinates to a planet on the edge of Roa'marii space where you may meet with an ambassador from the Roa'marii Empire."
