[@Lorddiviness], oops sorry for the wait... Next time, I think I should get more active here and stop being a lazy sloth worrying about romance so much. [h2]=============== [@Lorddiviness][/h2] [quote=@Lorddiviness]Tikiyachod arrived at one of Volcron's mining facilities, populated by an entirely mechanical populace.[/quote] Tikiyachod was quite impressed and attracted to the mining facility, along with the activities and surroundings there. Maybe he is bored enough to pay heed to such things which would be mundane to the eyes of others. "Reminds me of my time back in Kathrix..." he mumbled. "Seeing such random things are always better than... never mind." [quote]At first, the guarding droids were startled but after hearing Tikiyachod's word, seemed to calm down. Tikiyachod would be approached by 5 intimidating larger-than-human size green mechanical behemoths(Decimatrons). In a deep echoing voice, the one foremost started "Tikiyachod of Imperial Pherith, your audience with Volcron Akastenin has been approved by himself. He has dispatched a special escort en route to this facility. Please wait for a while.."[/quote] Tikiyachod was greatly amused laying sight on the 5 robots. "Whoah! What an advanced faction indeed." he exclaimed while nodding with a grin. "Oh, thank you very much..." [quote]As it's words were ending, a large hovering aircraft(Aeontron), escorted by smaller crafts(Strafertrons) and a single medium sized ship(Transportron) warped in above the facility. The medium sized ship landed and opened a large iron ramp.[/quote] "Oh, so fast. So quick. Whoah." Tikiyachod again mumbled. [quote]Out walked several organisms with large green armor crackling with energy(Citadelguards) and carrying ballistic and energy weapons. Some were clearly human, some orc, some dwarve and some of other lesser races. What was astounding was that there was near equal numbers of genders present there.[/quote] Tikiyachod let out a smile seeing the racial variety and the near equal numbers between genders. And this reminded him of his own Pherith very much. "Seems a very great society indeed." he left a comment to himself. [quote]The Captain(A lizardman) walked up and greeted the emperor. "Greetings, Emperor Tikiyachod. I hope our guards didn't give you any troubles... although Lord Volcron was quite uneasy about an emperor coming himself on foot to see him until he sensed you were a conjuration... Well, best not to keep wasting time..." He stepped sideways and signaled to the Transportron. "After you" he continued. [/quote] "Ohh," Tikiyachod replied with a smirk, "It has been all well and smooth so far. Ahh... indeed we should go for business..." As he finished his word, he made his way into the transportron... What will await the Third Cakemaster? What opportunities lie ahead? Is there a better future awaiting Pherith? [h2]=============== [@BirdofParadise][/h2] [quote=@BirdofParadise] [@Kuchenlein] Pherith's ultimatum reached the Aranorian cabinet. Seemingly un-surprised, they however, made one last chance for a talk. In any case, a live video call was sent to the Pherithian high-command as the reply. Whether they accept this or not will be up to them. If they however accept, then as follows. The Griffegus representative, and speaker for the Aranorians appears on the live video. "Greetings Pherithians. I am Leorolaine Ygyslov, Prime Minister of Griffegus, and Speaker of the Aranorian Confederacy. Whether we continue this or not would leave us faced with consequences for the future of our nations. Still we shall speak." She awaits the response. Meanwhile in the western Artician seas. Receiving the response, they replied loudly and confidently. "We advise you to lay anchors and wait for our high command's response!" [/quote] The Pherithians put their ultimatum on hold, and got into a talk with Leorolaine. They have accepted the live video call, hoping to seek a peaceful solution to the conflict. "Greetings, Aranorians of the Aranorian Confederacy. I am Tikiyachod, the Third Cakemaster and the Emperor of Pherith. Ahh, yes, I would like to have a talk with the Aranorian Confederacy regarding this. Let's speak," [h2]=============== [@Lasersquid112][/h2] [quote=@Lasersquid112]He narrowed his eyes, looking at the man speaking broken Common, scrutinizing him with his piercing green eyes.[/quote] The [i]Bomoh[/i] and the other Whampoan Revitals exchanged wary looks on this otherworldly marine as well... [quote]He reached up and depolarized his visor, then looked around. He thought it wise to not raise the visor itself, and looked back to the man speaking Common. Speaking to himself, he said, "Activate language translator and compiler." If any hearing augmentation had been done to any of the men nearby, they could hear him, but only as a whisper. If not, then he was just moving his lips soundlessly. "Log one-five-two-nine. Drop-pod crash-landed on unknown planet. Communications link dead. Sentient life observed - presumably humanoid." He activated his in-suit external audio recording log so that this conversation would be recorded. "End log."[/quote] Only the [i]Bomoh[/i] can hear what he said, yet sadly his English or Common is quite broken. "[color=yellow]Log? Drop-pod? Wooden trunk? Seeds which rain from sky? Communism? Sentinel?[/color]" The [i]Bomoh[/i] went into a surprised shock. He gave him a look mixed with confusion and horror, "[color=yellow]Huuuuuuuhhhh... what you said just now...?[/color]" [quote]He thought it prudent now to repolarize his visor since he was on an alien planet and then spoke. "I crash-landed here. I was... I [i]am[/i] a Confederate Marine. It'd be appreciated if you returned my C-16 now." He pointed to the disconnected C-16 Mutilator rifle, lying disconnected on a nearby table.[/quote] "[color=yellow]Ahhhh, a space marine which come from cosmos?[/color]" "[color=yellow]But please forgive, we no can give back gun yours before we check you. Firstly, what Confederate yours?[/color]"
