"Because it's [i]not[/i] a diplomatic vessel." Zarxe spoke up all too suddenly. Yes, he'd been there and had also been listening. He only now chose to finally speak, "Isn't that right, Emperor?" he asked of the Emperor, his tone blunt in an almost uncaring way. Up until now, the Nobody was standing in a corner with his arms crossed over one another. Now he uncrossed his arms and began to move more toward the center of the room, "What is the word some worlds use to describe it? Ah, yes... a [i]deterrent[/i]." he wasn't wrong. This was almost the textbook definition of an intimidation tactic. The armaments could show the other worlds that Renovation, and by extension its Emperor, was not someone they wanted to make an enemy of or start a war with.

Then Zarxe snapped his fingers, and Alpha revealed their presence next to him. The canine-like Nobody looked up at Zarxe with an expectant glance, "Alpha, it seems I'm to be traveling the slow way. Take the pack ahead of me to the world described just now. I'd rather not stumble in blindly." Alpha nodded, as if giving a response that only Zarxe could hear before vanishing, "My apologies, but my Hunters have been patrolling the palace grounds in secret on my orders. One cannot be too careful. You needn't fear anymore, though. They've gone now and are scouting ahead of us even as we speak. They will be relaying their findings to me as we make our way to the destination."

Only then did Zarxe realize he had not properly introduced himself. Now was when he decided to do so, "For those not aware, I am Zarxe. I'm to aid your mission and act as your liaison with those I represent: Organization XIII."
