Dosh-Novan felt his hands shiver, as his lips slowly formed a smile, not mocking, but filled with a joy of a child, finding his favorite Toy in a place he would have never expect it! What a wonderful joy it was to witness such a glorious Moment! Soon, this land would witness a great conflict, blood would be spilled, countless would die, while Ug-Qualtoth would feast on their suffering. For a second, the Warleader closed his eyes, savoring the emotions around him. The uneasy fear of the weak, the shock of the pathetic ones, and the calm acceptance of the Wolves among the sheep. From a Personal Point of View, Dosh-Novan respected the Legion. Warriors through and through, lead by bravery, strength and Will, unlike their Enemy, the NCR. Yet sadly, the Legion had chosen, or rather been pushed onto the side of the Brotherhood, and as such, would be an enemy for the wars to come! Once more a shiver ran down the spine of Dosh-Novan, as he lost his thought in the glory of the war that would come, an apocalyptic tribute to Ug-Qualtoth himself, to feast on the corpses and broken bodies of all its victims! The response of the King made his open quickly, as a silent growl escaped his lips. How dared this puppet to spoil this very moment with his greedy talks of empty threats, and whorish gestures! For a moment, the Warleader saw himself storm forward, to crush his head in with his own hands, claiming the first kill in this war, and spilling the first blood! But James reply amused him, as this men-in-a-suite, showed more balls then any of the speakers combined. He more and more began to like that man, as he might even had mistaken him at first glance. The Arrival of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania tore him once more out his thoughts as he glared at them for a second. Their lands were weak, soft and ripe for the picking...

Almost everything about her seems unsettling in some way, just as something had just molded her, with only a minor understanding of how human were suppose to function. Yet behind that all, was some kind of strange beauty, a beauty that made her whole appearance even more of an enigma. [b]"Our Steel will be the foundation for progress and Prosperity in the north of this carcass of a world! It will be our sacred Duty to make sure that our Friends will have access to these foundation!" [/b]Her hand slowly moved over the glass, before Marie looked at her reflection in the metal of the Knife. [b]"These...heathens, worshiping the same force that destroyed this very world, the Children of Atom as they are called, are indeed quite an concern for my Father, our great Prophet! Yet, rest assured, for our two great Nations shall find a way to overcome these problems, one way or another!" [/b] Her eyes shortly wandered towards the representatives of the Church of Atom, as a strangle glare moved into them, and the young woman seemed to lose herself in thoughts for a moment, before a smile hushed over her lips, and her eyes quickly moved onto the President of the NCR. [b]"What a terrible turn of events.."[/b] Her young eyes shortly moved towards the Door, as a Diplomatic smile moved onto her face, as she spotted the familiar faces of Calypso, and her rough-mouthed companions. Slowly getting up from her chair, she warmly welcomed the arriving Empress. [b]"Your Highness, it is always an honor to be in your very presence! And an audience you shall get, the soonest i can give!"[/b] The Jade Empire was an Protectorate of the Cult, and a valued partner in Trade....and maybe an ally in the wars to come!
