"Nah, keep them. There just some plastic and metal." said the guard. The two motioned for him to get back onto the shuttles, as the two pilots prepared to undock and head back for the scout ship.

From Stardust, To Stardust

The spell is designed to work on all brain structures Wilson.

And no, thats not how all pilots act at all.

From Stardust, To Stardust

You know whats the defention of food for the hivemind is? People, so that war is still there fault.

The war with humanity is over. Blame could be put on both sides for the Eternal Union-Septonian Conflict, as New Condia was recently attacked, so its fair to say the defense forces might have been suspicious of a new contact, espically in the way they were acting. Were they a bit to aggressive? Yes. But the Septonians again, landed forces and ignored warning shots, which is considered by most nations to be a invasion. They accelerated the conflict. Both sides are to blame.

From Stardust, To Stardust

You were escorted aboard mines. And how are they immune to the spell?

You can, but then its more of he said/she said type thing. The Septonians have video and radio records confirming their innocence.

What about the whole ignored attempts at diplomacy and then laughed at the attempts to communicate, and also ignored warning shots and landed shuttles, which is by any reasonable defention considered a invasion? The EU has video and audio proof of that as well. Both parties are to blame here.

Nouvelle, Ground
"I have finished all of what I want to say your majesty, however at a later date the EU requests a private meeting just between us and you." said Archmage Cavenus.

The EU shuttle docked with the Septonian one, and two guards aboard escorted the Septonian onboard, showing him to the supplies needed for his shuttle. While this happened he overheard something from the cockpit, and everything he heard was in a perfect version of the Septonian language.

"Heard about New Condia yet?" said one of the voices.

"Let me guess, its under attack again?" asked another voice.

"Yeah this time by the Hives though..."

"I saw the reports on those things, what they did at Outpost A-5 scares. The turned the civilians there into monsters, ignored all attempts at diplomacy. And while its not mentioned often, we tried to contact a more minor space-faring nation. When we arrived they had already consumed the entire nation. The way they refer to everything as prey and food... Its a parasitic hivemind, we can't reason with it. "

"And then we got the Ethereals on our hands. Also ignored all attempts at diplomacy, and killed 1000s of civilians at New Condia. Trade has also suffered because of there attacks. And what we saw them turn our people into... Those weren't Iscandarians anymore..."

"But were going to have to waste war material on a alien nation instead of uniting to face the greater threat. Excellent."

The two continued talking, and were talking loud enough to where the Septonian could hear them, it seemed they had not realized that the the Septonian had come aboard.

New Condia
The beam had hit the fleet shield as it was in the way of hitting the planetary shield, it fell, but only took a few moments for it to be up back up. Besides one or two kinetic weapons on each ship, the fleet had shutdown most of its weapons to keep the shields going, leaving the attacking to the Sazkarjhit ships. Ships could be seen on the far side of the planet warping in and out, although it was unknown what they were doing.

Alari, the Pearl Fleet
A EU ship arrived near the pearl fleet, this time however it only had a shield and no weapons however, and bore somekind of bird holding a branch on the side.

"We have come here in dire need. For you one of our colonies is under-attack by a parasitic hivemind. We can understand if you do not believe us, but a fleet to assist would be helpful. A unknown contact has also arrived and is ignoring all attempts at contact, and is assisting these parasites. There will be great rewards if you help, even if in the end we do fail to defend it. We also believe you may have come into contact with a nation we call the Septonians. They attempted a invasion of one of our colonies and we would like to try to sue for peace now, as we need to stand against greater threats."

From Stardust, To Stardust

Which is why I am going to the Alari. The will be shifting a lot of blame onto you however.

From Stardust, To Stardust

The fact that there is a large parasitic hivemind intent on consuming everything? And the Ethereals who keep on killing god knows how many civilians and turning htem into horrifying creatures.

From Stardust, To Stardust

Going to sue for peace through the Alari soon, and have the shuttle pilot over hear something that might make the Septonians think twice about warring with the EU.

From Stardust, To Stardust

I still don't know why your so intent on attacking the scout ship. Its not even that valuable, destroying it or the shuttle will have zero effect on the the future of the Eternal Union.
