[@Stern Algorithm]-Gammaton
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ferron stood within his castle and deliberated on how to proceed. He needed to refocus himself after the unexpected encounter with Anu. He believed the encounter was beneficial, however it did not changed his plans. He had inspected the jar for trickery before allowing it into his domain. Once its safety was confirmed, he stored it within the platinum layer of his realm. He decided that only negative outcomes would emerge from disclosing the deal, in part or in full, to the dwarves. 

Ferron came to the conclusion that inviting the domain of another god within his colony would cause instability. Instability was not completely undesirable, but the colony could not withstand this. In order to create a solid foundation, he needed to consult with Gammaton. 

Gammaton was a tricky god. He was not immediately dangerous like Ragnagedden, however he still posed a threat. In addition, Gammaton was not well-liked among his unstable siblings. He did not wish to entangle himself with a god who he could neither trust, and who could harm him through association. However, he required Gammaton service. Unfortunately, unlike his other siblings, Gammaton was able to bargain.

He would actually have to try to ensure that he obtained the best deal. He could not merely push forward his best offer, as he did not know what Gammaton desires, nor his motivations. Merely by coming to Gammaton, and proposing this deal, he was placing himself in a disadvantageous position. 

However, ultimately bringing law to the dwarves in and over itself should align with Gammaton's interest. However, he should know that all services have a price. He needed to shore up his weak bargaining position in order to ensure that the arrangement was beneficial for himself. He could always withdraw before the deal was finalized, however that would delay his plans and merely place him in a weaker position within the second meeting. While he was willing to expend a significant amount of effort in order to ensure that this deal was to proceed smoothly, there was somethings that he wanted to greatly avoid, such as being entangled with the law god's schemes. 

He did not believe it was wise to merely lead with his best offer, as he believed it best to leave room to maneuver when dealing with uncertainty. He did not believed that Gammaton would want weapons or armor. He was unsure of Gammaton opinion of the arts were either. And as far as he knew, he did not have a child species that he was cultivating that Ferron could teach metallurgy to. 

He must think what Gammaton would want in order to have any success within this venture, however he had little exposure to the god, and even from the muttering that he had acclimated over his many years of existence, his goals seemed to lofty and intangible. It is easy to construct an aqueduct that brings water to a city and alleviates drought. Peace, however, was a much more fickle thing. You could not construct peace, you can only alleviate the symptoms of strife temporarily. 

Ferron went to his forge, and crafted a particular item that he thought was potentially valuable and stored it within a simple bag that he carried with himself. The item was a simple, small gold scarab construct. However, its usefulness emerged from its ability to construct identical copies itself. A single one of these scarab could quickly form a swarm if supplied with enough gold, and they were capable of constructing various other objects and had a limited capacity to attack.  In addition, he consider particular proposals for less tangible arrangements. The three items he crafted uses were designed to have broad usages.  He grabbed his cloak, and summoned Bishop to travel with him to the meeting.

The pair traveled through the soil towards the Braided Jungle. Upon returning to the surface, he had thrown his cloak on, and pulled his hood on. He did like jungles, it was one thing to go without his cloak within a castle where he spent more of his time within a forge, where he was at his most comfortable, however jungles were probably one of the places on Tabrasa were he was his least comfortable. 

He stood cautiously outside of the jungle itself, not quite sure of the appropriate manner to approach. However, beyond the potential rudeness of entering the jungle, for the time being he wished to remain on neutral ground. He commanded Bishop to go forward towards the administrative hive, and once it reached the location, it emerged from the earth once again taking a humanoid form before politely tapping against the hive in a non aggressive manner, and the mercury construct begin to create a metallic hum that was rather pleasant in order to announce its presence. Symbols formed on the construct's front and back, clearly creating the following message in divine script, "This is Bishop, divine messenger and scout of Ferron. The Lord of Metal requests formal invitation to enter the realm of Gammaton in order to discuss matters of mutual exchange. Ferron would like to request that Gammaton brings law and order to Ferron's chosen people, and exchange, Ferron would be willing to part with valuable goods and services to Gammaton."
