[@Flamelord][@Absolis][@supertinyking][@Tyki] There was no response from the Goa'uld, not that the God Emperor had expected one. If they decided to meet with him, they would know where to find him. If they decided not to, then they would have to knock on their door. Not that that would be a particularly pleasant experience, but he would need to confront every player on this planet in time. Particularly the ones wishing to dominate the world, such as the Goa'uld and the Alliance. But for now there were more important matters to deal with. "The first thing we must do is consolidate out power within this world." Nova looked around at the forces gathered here. His voice was heavy and carrying, and even those at a distance from his throne could hear him clearly. "In order to recover my former military might, as well as the allies I previously made in this world, I will need the device known as a terminal. While I had previously believed these devices to be nearly unique in nature, I am now able to sense many on this world. Many are as of yet undiscovered, and unguarded. As such they will be easy to recover, and I would request that some of Banha-dono's soldiers acquire these artifacts." Nova was well aware of the Yakuza's eastern inspiraction, and while he questioned the seeming parralels with his own version of Earth, he was able to use this knowledge to gain some insight into the Yakuza's way of life. "I will need a more skilled team of soldiers to recover one terminal in particular, however. This terminal is located in Switzerland, a country in this world that was recently the home of several incredibly powerful evil forces. This includes a Daemon Prince." Nova gestures, and focuses. Energy concentrates and crackles, and a shifting purple portal opened up. Using the power of the Golden Throne he was able to easily create an Eternity Gate, which would allow his team to move directly to switzerland. He then looked over those at his disposal, and those he had selected for the task would be instantly aware of their designation. He chose Ruiko, Saber, and two of the more veteran Krogan Yakuza. They would be aware of his choice, but it was not an order, and they were able to refuse without any other ever knowing they had done so, besides Nova himself. The mission would be completely voluntary. "There may be a being at the location, one of a power that exceeds even that of the beast I slew. I have sensed the presence of a Daemon Prince, a warp-spawned creature capable of funneling the power of the warp almost as easily as I am able to. Should you encounter this being, you must instantly use the terminal to flee. It's true prey is me, and it will not pursue you to another world. I cannot guarantee that the world the terminal leads you to will not kill you, but I know that any of you who dare face the Daemon will die." Nova lingered for a moment, allowing the danger of this mission to sink in. They were dropping into hostile territory, and might face one of the most powerful and dangerous beings in the entire universe. He would not force anyone to risk their lives for this goal, not when the odds were this grave. Regardless of the answers, Nova then chose to address Absolis, who had most likely believed he had been forgotten, considering how long it had taken for the Emperor to respond to his query. "Conablum labs have turned the reasonable and logical pursuit of science and understanding to a selfish and sinful gathering of technology, a perverted genius who is too dangerous and too twisted to be allowed to reign freely. I will attempt to save any employees I am able to, but you seem to be under the impression that I intend to perform a peaceful takeover. This is a war, and innocents will be killed. But those that die will at least have a chance to return, and knowing that is a comfort to me." He smiles, before returning to the matter at hand. "Besides, I do not plan to enter her base recklessly. I will need you to tell me of her defences, and capabilities. I will then test her defences, first through deceit, then through force. Of course, my plans may need to alter depending on her actions. Even my vision is clouded under such circumstances." Of course, it was around then that the UFO appeared, only to explode mere moments later. The Emperor looked upon the explosion, and he could feel a hundred lives on the brink of extinction. Feel their minds and souls moments from being wiped out. And, even as the ship began to collapse in on itself, he cast out his mind and will. "No." Time seemed to slow, before coming to a complete halt. The very world slowed to a silent trance, a bubble of absolute stillness that had engulfed the entirety of New York. Stephen alone still moved, his crystals attempting and failing to convert the energies of the warp, lacking the time to do so. The very leaves were suspended in the air, as Nova looked to the sky. And with a breathe, he blew the flames from the ship, and dampened the explosion. And with a gesture, he cleared the debris from the skies, brushing it aside to land in the large uninhabited tracts of land that surrounded the Imperial Palace. And with a gentle caress he pulled down those he had felt, a hundred figures pulled through space and time to his position. With a sigh and a whisper, time returned once more. But the explosion was gone, cast from the sky. And in front of the God Emperor was a pile of writhing bodies, reptilian creatures attempting to crawl their way out of the tangle of forms they found themselves in, still panicked from the explosion that had nearly claimed their lives. Darven found his escape pod to be on solid ground, the only one to be seen, as all the empty pods had simply been discarded. The Emperor sagged into his chair as he felt the strain on his body, the immense headache that followed the pull on his soul. He had suspended the very laws of physics, in perhaps his greatest display of power yet, possible only because of the power of the Golden Throne. But it was a terrifying display indeed, the power to stop time itself, and with it he had saved nearly the entire reptilian fleet. "Please, Banha. Tell our new guests to behave. Darven, you are in safe hands. There is no need for violence in my presence." Nova sounded weary, but he would recover in time. "Stephen, you will remain by my side, if you will. I am expecting a rather violent friend to pay a visit, and he will most likely attempt to establish his dominance through force. I would appreciate it if you could assist me in this matter, and perhaps show the refugees the error of their ways if they try to cause a fuss. I will speak to their leader in a moment, when this headache has passed."
