[h3][i][color=92278f] Capital of the planet Aloria: Krogow.[/color][/i] [/h3] [/centre]
The faint sound of a child crying is all that could be heard in the eerily and strangely quiet streets of Krogow. The city had come too a standstill, the streets were empty, except for the odd person here and there that could be seen rushing home. The usual sounds of children playing and vehicles were absent as they were every three months in the city. Everyone was at home, watching there televisions intently. The Queen was addressing the Empire, letting people know what was going on and why. Showing people what she wanted too show and informing them of any changes in law. But none of that was what everyone was awaiting today as they usually were, people were intrigued by the 12 Terran's on there knees that were just visible on either side of the Queen. Since the start of the speech, people had been speculating about what was going on. New law's regarding slaves? New types of slaves? Or another [i]live execution?[/i]

The Queen finished off what she was speaking about as she stood up, moving too the side slightly and revealing what was behind her. She was in the Krogow city centre, a square with a tall flagpole, proudly flying the flag of the Alorian Empire. Around the edges of the square stood the Royal Guard and marines, and above the square flew dozens of ships scanning the streets too ensure the Queens safety. In front of the flagpole were the twelve kneeling Terran's. They ranged in age from 7 to 53, and both sexes were present. There was a 7 year old boy on the very right side of the line, quietly sobbing too himself as he looked down at the floor in what was definitely the most terrifying moment of his life. Queen Lilith watched as two of the royal guard quickly ran on, took away the chair she was sitting in and moved away. She walked towards the flagpole and stood behind the Terran's. The camera's zoomed in so that the only things in the shot were her, the Terran's, and an Alorian flag lowered down the flagpole so it could be in the background of the shot.

[color=92278f]"I have been informed that recently, there has been a large number of attempted escapes by slaves across the Empire. This will not be tolerated".[/color] The Alorian woman spoke slowly and with grace. [color=92278f]"I have, with help from my advisers, come up with a solution".[/color] As she said the last word, a masked Royal Guard approached and stood next too the Queen, bowing before standing up straight and drawing a pistol from her side. [color=92278f]"For every one Terran that attempts an escape, five more will be killed. For every one Terran that does escape, ten will be killed. This is a warning".[/color] She spoke such harsh words in such a calm manor. She stood too the side and watched as the Royal Guard moved so that she was standing behind the Terran at the very end of the line. She raised her pistol, and pushed it into the back of the Terrans head. 

The sound of a lone shot echoed off into the distance as the Terran fell forward, the corpse falling onto the splatter of blood that the gunshot sent flying onto the floor. A pool of blood started too appear slowly on the floor as the guard moved on. [i]Bang. Bang. Bang. [/i] Three more dead, fallen too the floor as the first did. The fifth Terran was a young woman who looked around 17. She had dirty blonde hair, pale skin from lack of nutrients. She had cuts and bruises all over her face. [i]Bang.[/i] Her body fell, like the others. The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth went down the same way. The Royal guard approached the Queen, handed her the pistol, and bowed, before walking off and exiting the shot. [color=92278f]"Let this be a warning too any slave that even thinks of escaping. I dont care who you are, I dont care for your age. This is the punishment you shall receive".[/color] She raised the pistol and shot from the left of the Terran, his body falling right onto the seven year old too the right of him. The child screamed and started trying too push the body off of him. The Queen walked over, standing over the child. She spoke quietly, so that only the child could hear. [color=92278f]"All of these people died, because of you. I hope the rest of your kind aren't so stupid".[/color] With that, she raised the pistol and shot. The boy was dead. Without a word, the Queen walked out of the shot. The cameras panned upwards with the flag as it raised too the top of the flagpole. The broadcast ended.

The Queen stepped onto the transport ship that would take her back too her palace. She sat down, relaxing slowly into the soft chair that sat at the head of rectangular white table. On each side, three of her advisers were too sit. She drew in a deep breath, sighing slowly as she saw the door at the end of the room open. Slowly, two Royal guards walked in and stood on either side of the door. After this, her six advisers walked in and bowed, before sitting at their allocated seats around the table. Congratulations were said, formalities were endured, and the meeting was too start. The Queen smiled as she looked upon her six most trusted people. [color=92278f]"The first issue we need to discuss on our way to the palace, and the most important issue tonight, The Dominion of Man". [/color]

After this was said, talking erupted around the table. The Queen quickly made them silent once again. [color=92278f]"We have all seen how anti non-Terran these people are. This, coupled with there aggressive expansionism, is not good for us. For now it seem's they are busy with earth, but what happens when they turn this way? We have too be ready".[/color] Talking once again erupted and the Queen sat silent, this time listening too all of the proposed ideas that were flying her way.
