The Emperor sat, brooding. His face had long since gone from smile, to neutral to a shadowed scowl as his generals had begun to quarrel. One by one his generals had started arguing. Luckily, not all were threatening to destroy his Imperium luckily. The Inquisitors, if in a sort of stand-off to some extent, were quietly watching. Alexius shot him a look as Captain Tyros did the Emperor's job for him, stopping the fight before it could have started, This too changed the Emperor's mood... then there was the vile little cretin of a xenos revealed his card, the stealth ships. His captain had his vox blaring on all channels and was about to order battle stations when the Emperor simply told him to stand down. The Emperor slowly stood from his seat, looking about his table he scowled, before turning to his Inquisitors and the Good lord General Corbec, "[color=fff200]Lord Corbec, Master Inquisitors. I thank you for maintaining the understanding of a wider picture. Of seeing that the continuation of the Imperium of man  goes far above and beyond any other petty issues and maintaining your loyalty.[/color]", he spoke clearly and concisely, ensuring all around the table could hear him. He walked around, scowling at each of his more... rowdy council members.

First, he approached Lattore. "[color=fff200]Captain Lattore. When you entered my realm with your forces you came in peace. I have wished for you to be a part of humanities return to glory in spite of your former excommunication. Because I believed you had will above that of the average man. I thought you had the will to have survived this long, and the width of thought to see the practical and the pragmatic. After all you wield the weapons of the archenenmy, surely you must have the strength of will to see a bigger picture... perhaps I was wrong. Is it truly so important my title be changed within my realm for your convenience of opinion? That calling myself 'High Lord' and undermining my own power will help so much? Perhaps you are more short sighted and petty than I first thought... or perhaps you are not so unaffected by chaos as I beleived...[/color]", he left it at that, and moved on to his assassin.

"[color=fff200]Perhaps we must learn not to challenge those who employ you on their titles... especially when they maintain ones pay and patronage old friend... do sit and listen to a wider focus than parry words with a space marine[/color]", and again he moved to Captain Tyros.

"[color=fff200]Thank you Tyros for stepping in and stopping this... ridiculous argument. But I would prefer next time if I be allowed to deal with my own council.[/color]", he gave a smile and moved to the cannonness.

"[color=fff200]Ishitta you are zealous and faithful and loyal. you are a servant beholden only to me... then why must you threaten my domain? You have threatened guests invited here by me and under my protection. Threats against them are threats against me... do you intend to threaten the Embodiment? Is that your goal Cannonness?[/color]", and with that, he returned to his seath and clicked a button on the large table, a massive hologram of a small solar system appearing in the middle of it, three planets suspended above the council as the Emperor seemed to move on without a seond thought.

"[color=fff200]This, is system Revelius. There are two habitable worlds. From our records they were led by despots who were commonly at one anothers throats before the fall of the astronomicon and most likely became broiled in conflict. They are not our concern[/color]", he zoomed in on the smallest of the planets, no more than a mere moon.

"[color=fff200]This is the Forge moon Amatheus. If we can take this without damaging it my Magos assure me we can increase our manufacturing output exponentially and possibly may even contain ancient STC's. We must take this moon without destroying it. It is currently unknown if the Lord Magos is still in charge or the mechanicus at all. If they are I have been assured diplomacy is enitirely possible. If not... we must take it without destroying or crippling it. We will arrive in the system in a months time using surface warp travel, as my navigators have assured me. That is all. Master trader K'Vari I would like to discuss businees amongst a council more suited for it. I ask you wait a short while. I will call you. All of you but Master Alexius, Master Enyo and General Corbec as the holders of the largest part of my armies remain to discuss some preliminary strategy. The rest of you are dismissed. If you wish to speak privately leave it with my Captain and I wiull ensure we speak before arrival. Our next meeting will be strategical in nature once we know what we are dealing with.[/color]", With that the Emperor waited for his council to largely leave. His face a mask of uncaring neutrality.
