[15:20] <@Xho> The team left the Realm of Dreams, back on Tau's ship. There was a mixed emotion among the team. Happiness, relief and disappointment. Nu was sat down at the table, beating his fingers against it in a state of boredom. [15:20]  Corteus - ...you're bored already? [15:21]  Shu'ytrogarva's skeleton was still on the ship. Koluap remained occupied removing the teeth out of his jaw and putting them on one of his pockets. [15:21]  Koluap - Gonna make myself a necklace. [15:21] <@Xho> Nu - Well we got a lot of stuff to do. [15:21]  Lemmo - Hm. How much would that thing cost anyway? [15:22]  Arkarixus - It's a demon's skeleton. What do you think? [15:22] <@Xho> Kithworto looked at Shu'ytrogarva's skeleton with apprehension. [15:22]  Hachi was still asleep on the floor where he had been told to sleep earlier to allow entry into the Realm. Kalcedia was also asleep while Kezoreg was nowehere to be seen, probably keeping himself company. [15:22] <@Xho> Upslion - Heh. In the right makret, millions. [15:22]  Sarec looked around, relieved to be back in realspace while Grukarb snapped off a bone of Shu'Ytrogarva's skeleton for himself. [15:22]  Tharaqím - Put him in a museum. [15:22] <@Xho> Kithworto - I wouldn't put a demon's skeleton anywhere. The void of space is a correct course of action. [15:22]  Corteus - Grukarb... [15:23]  Arkarixus - Airlock? [15:23]  Lemmo - Makes sense. The damn thing must be dangerous. [15:23]  Grukarb - I just want one souvenier captain. [15:23]  Lemmo turned his head to Arkarixus. [15:23]  Lemmo - Exactly. ...Or, we could sell it to a Wranploer warlord and then watch him getting evaporated by trace entropic energy. [15:24]  The Tertanai chuckled. [15:24] <@Xho> Eta - One comedy at a time. [15:24]  Arkarixus - You're talking about piracy to the warmaster of the Polar Crystal Alliance. [15:24] <Monet> Coerteus - jettison it into space than blast it to pieces via one of this ship's cannons. [15:24] <Imperios> Lemmo - It's a win-win situation. Noone gets hurt. [15:24] <Imperios> *... except the Wranploer, but noone cares about them anyway. [15:24] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - You're dumb. I'd rather make a helmet out of his skull! [15:25] <Imperios> Lemmo - You sure it won't kill you? [15:25] <@Xho> Kithworto walked up to Shu'ytrogarva's skeleton and telekinetically lifted it. [15:25] <Monet> Sarec - Yes, a lovely skull-shaped helmet that leaks entropic energy [15:25] <OluapPlayer> Koluap stumbled into his back and put his hands up, trying to grab it. [15:25] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Hey, I wasn't done! [15:25] <Imperios> Lupercal entered the room, apparently having heard all the conversation. [15:25] <@Xho> Kithworto - Corteus is correct. This thing should not even be touched by mortal hands. [15:25] <Imperios> Lupercal - The Isio'Nar is correct. We should destroy the bones. [15:26] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - Airlock it is. [15:26] <Imperios> Lupercal approached the demon skeleton and bowed before it. [15:26] <Monet> Grukarb - shotgun on the turret! [15:26] <@Xho> Kithworto walked to the back of the ship with the skeleton in front of him, before a distant shamble could be heard as Shu'ytrogarva's skeleton hit the floor in a mess. [15:26] <OluapPlayer> Koluap sat down and crossed his arms with a frown. [15:27] <OluapPlayer> Mu - So, about those seemingly trillions of giant mecha space octopi Santorakh mentioned. What do? [15:27] <Monet> Sarec - Also is it public knowledge where my alliegence lies? [15:27] <@Xho> Upsilon - Simple. Go back to Hyperborea and tell the Polar Crystal Alliance about it. [15:28] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - Essence users can sense your aura. [15:28] <Monet> Corteus - *ahem* [15:28] <Hachi_> Kalcedia awoke and looked around, disturbed by the noise from the skeleton. Her eyes fluttered open and she yawned. [15:28] <Monet> Sarec - ..it's a bit of a generalisation to think all friendly ascended beings are Isio'Nar. [15:28] <Imperios> Lupercal - May the winds of the Endless Cycle take away these accursed bones into Eternal One's purifying void. Dei'Nar'aechin shenthar'ae vai'shiim. (Great Spode, protect us all) [15:28] <@Xho> Kithworto returned as behind him as a vacuum sounded behind him. [15:28] <Imperios> (move mine above) [15:29] <Monet> Corteus - Y'know, the PCA isn't the only authority we could turn to... [15:29] <Hachi_> Kalcedia - The Draconis has a point. [15:29] <@Xho> Upsilon - You're right. The entire Gigaquadrant should be warned of this. [15:29] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - They're coming from Andromeda. The Andromedan Commonwealth should be warned first. [15:30] <Imperios> Lupercal - You sure about this? Imagine the panic it could cause. We have to make things hidden, so that the universe could be spared the tyranny of fear. [15:30] <Imperios> *spared from [15:30] <@Xho> Zeta - The universe has been in the shadow of the Xhodocto for billions of years. Pretty sure we've gotten used to universal panic. [15:31] <@Xho> Psi - Bah. Tell em or not, everyone will know sooner or later. Being warned or being obliterated. [15:31] <Monet> Grukarb - two-and-a-half words: Government. Cover-up. [15:31] <Imperios> Lupercal nodded. [15:31] <Hachi_> Kalcedia - UNO does that all the time, nothing to worry about. [15:31] <Imperios> Quinniath - I shall contact Her Holiness. [15:32] <@Xho> Kithworto sat down in a chair. [15:32] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - Warn the Commonwealth leaders, and no one else. [15:32] <@Xho> Kithworto - I would much rather go to Andromeda and tell them in person. [15:32] <Imperios> Lemmo - What about Cyrannians? Plazithians? [15:32] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Eh. Those Imperial mongrels don't give a damn about anything. [15:32] <Hachi_> Kezoreg walked into the room and sat down, glaring towards the group with a scowl. [15:33] <Imperios> Lemmo - Hey, it's the eromenos aga\in. [15:33] <Monet> Grukarb - Looks like the kid's-- | Corteus pressed his hand in front of Grukarb's mouth, surprising him. [15:33] <Imperios> *it's the aromanos again. [15:34] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - We shouldn't tell the Commonwealth. It would be a waste; prior warning and preparation isn't going to stop the Ayrai'Shikua. We could be using this time for more important things, like preventing them all together. [15:34] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Like you know anything. [15:34] <Imperios> Lemmo - He's a goddamn aromanos. Don't listen to him. [15:35] <Monet> Corteus - So...you'd rather not enlist the aid of one of the galaxy's most powerful militaries. Remind me where were you during the War for Andromeda? [15:35] <@Xho> Kithworto - Ekól-nyu íráyamasi taránamaktánshaómatkámnatojorinazhá. [Time and tide wait for no man.] Do what we will, calamity will arise. We are going to Andromeda and we are summoning the Commonwealth's council whether they like it or not. [15:36] <Imperios> Lemmo - Hm. Allow me. [15:36] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - Make haste, then. [15:36] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - If we tell them, there will be panic sooner rather than later. I say let the Commonwealth live in ignorant bliss until their doom. [15:36] <Imperios> Lemmo approached Kezoreg, grabbed him by the back and then tossed him towards the wall. [15:37] <@Xho> Kithworto stood up, and went to the cockpit. Pressing down on the panel, coordinates arose. [15:37] <OluapPlayer> Mu - You've done nothing but summon Angazhar on us. Stop being an useless little shit and shut your trap. [15:37] <Imperios> Lemmo - That's my father's education style. [15:37] <@Xho> Kithworto - I am afraid my knowledge of Andromeda as of late is limited. Where is the council's meeting place? [15:38] <Imperios> Lemmo - The Elysion station? [15:38] <Monet> Corteus - Was Alcanti, but they have a new HQ in more common ground. [15:38] <Imperios> (dat hivemind) [15:38] <Monet> Corteus - I have the coordinates though. [15:39] <@Xho> Kithworto - Then lead us there. In the meantime those who have access to the Highlords shall summon them. [15:40] <Imperios> Quinniath - I'll talk to Venoriel. [15:40] <Monet> Corteus - Aye-Aye. [15:41] <Imperios> *I'll contact my superiors. [15:41] <@Xho> Tau - So we're going to Elysium station just to scare the Highlords? Nu - Just as well. I got a few things to say to the Paragon. [15:41] <@Xho> Kithworto looked at Nu with slight disdain. [15:41] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Like anyone wants to know your opinion on anything. [15:42] <Monet> Corteus headed to the cockpit and entered coordinates into the navigation console with one hand. Entering the coordinates of Elysion as they appeared on the screen. [15:42] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - Hmph, never liked the Highlords. [15:42] <Monet> Grukarb - I thought one of them was your dad? [15:42] <@Xho> Nu - Sinásátinmatzká, 'Tagárai'. [15:42] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - You are mistaken. Kithworto is my father. [15:43] <OluapPlayer> Mu - You're not a Kicath. Stop being stupid. [15:43] <@Xho> Kithworto beat his fist on the chair arm, sending out a concussive echo through the room. [15:44] <Monet> Grukarb - Whatever. If I can't have a bone i'll have a victory flyburger on Elysion. [15:44] <@Xho> Kithworto - Enough. Stop bickering. Any animosity shared here will be set aside. There is a lot at risk here. [15:44] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Anyone got a piece of thin rope I can use? [15:45] <Imperios> Lupercal - Shaan'thi, sa sh'ath. (You're crazy) [15:45] <Imperios> (move mine above) [15:45] <Monet> Corteus - Yknow....Kithworto's right. Like they say on Elysion "Leave your aminosity at the airlock". [15:46] <Monet> animosity* [15:46] <@Xho> Tau - If that is the case it would be wise to change into something more formal. It is good that I packed clothing before we left Hyperborea. [15:46] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus turned his attention to Corteus nearly immediately. [15:46] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Everyone'll like me in a tuxedo and a dead hand. [15:46] <Monet> Corteus looked at Arkarixus curiously. [15:46] <@Xho> Tau - ...Tuxedo? Never heard of one of those things. [15:47] <Imperios> Lemmo - Formal clothing. [15:47] <Monet> Corteus - What? Elysion's a diplomat's ring. [15:47] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Human thing. [15:47] <@Xho> Zeta - It would be good to get out of this armour. You begin to forget you have skin under it. [15:47] <Hachi_> Hachi - Zzz...Huh, what's this about humans? [15:47] <Hachi_> Hachi sat up on the floor, sniffing the air and looking up at everyone curiously. [15:48] <Imperios> Lemmo - You're one of them, aren't you? [15:48] <@Xho> Zeta - We're going to Andromeda. You'd better be prepared for an audience with the Highlords. [15:48] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Humans have weird clothing taste. And I guess I'll have to remain armored. [15:49] <@Xho> Tau left the room, whilst the other Agents except Mu went a few moments after. Kithworto then left to his quarters. [15:49] <OluapPlayer> Mu let out a sad sigh. [15:49] <Imperios> Lemmo - They're fine. Not exactly fond of the species, though. [15:49] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Disadvantages of being a dark ascended being. [15:49] <Hachi_> Hachi tilted his head and hugged Mu's leg affectionately. [15:50] <OluapPlayer> Mu looked at Hachi but did nothing to stop him. [15:50] <Monet> Sarec - Visiting Elysion should be a good trip for Hachi. [15:52] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - Being in a Commonwealth planet should be interesting. If my people were not so paranoid, we could have requested their help against the Dominion. [15:52] <Hachi_> Hachi - Don't worry Mu, I wish I had my old hand back as well. [15:52] <OluapPlayer> Mu - ...You mean you don't have a hand under that? [15:53] <Hachi_> Hachi - It's a weapon, well, meant to be. [15:53] <Hachi_> Hachi - That's why it has claws on it - meant for tearing and ripping. [15:53] <@Xho> (rite section change, needs dem characters) [15:53] <Monet> Corteus - Elysion's...not exactly a planet... [15:53] <@Xho> ===== [15:54] <OluapPlayer> (Hachi - http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/129/696/Rip_and_tear.png?1307118051 ) [15:55] <@Xho> The ship landed upon Elysion's hangar. Elysion as a station was rather well presented in design, with numerous white and gold themed architecture marking the place. The ship stuck out in the architecture as it was pitch black and cyan in colour. The door opened, and the team stepped outside. The air in Elysion felt disturbingly fresh. [15:55] <@Xho> (I'll need some ushers for this as well as the Highlords) [15:56] <OluapPlayer> Koluap had the same clothing as before, as it acted both as formal clothing and armor. However, he now wore a necklace made out of a wire and several teeth. [15:57] <Monet> (Ushers, right. Hmm) [15:57] <@Xho> The Agents were all dressed in a military uniform, with a black and silver theme as it was common among Kicath. Kithworto on the other hand wore an obviously expensive uniform, in a rather ominous black. [15:57] <OluapPlayer> Mu stepped out, still armored. [15:58] <OluapPlayer> Mu - I guess I'm the "tought bodyguard guy" in this. [15:58] <OluapPlayer> tough* [15:58] <Imperios> Quinniath and Lupercal entered the station in their dress blues; Quinniath's was white and purple, symbolising his status as the Divinarium's assassin, while Lupercal was much more intricate and covered with very detailed, almost incomprehensible patterns of spiritual meaning. [15:58] <Monet> Several Elysion inhabitants - tourists and diplomats - strolled about the beautifully structured station. The landscape rose up in the distance, over the heads of the team as the cuilding was a ring, with a disk-like "sun" hovering high above them [15:59] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus and Tharaqím stepped out of the ship, not having changed their outfits either. [15:59] <Monet> station was a ring* [15:59] <Hachi_> Kalcedia wore an expensive-looking attire that was as revealing as it was costly - it costed nothing in reality, however, for she had simply shaped it from her own form. She wore makeup and jewellery alongside, making herself appear more desirous as her perfume became stronger. [16:00] <OluapPlayer> Mu - You could have at least taken a bath, you're stinking more than a dead animal. or a knocked out drunk Kicath. [16:00] <Monet> Sarec had transformed his armour into a formal gown thanks ot his incorporeal status. Corteus and Grukarb wore Imperial dress uniforme; gold-trimmed grey outfits with knee-high boots and iro-grey overcoats [16:00] <Imperios> Lupercal - Is that jewelery? Luxury! Are these shoes? Sloth! Is that a necklace? Vanity! [16:00] <@Xho> Psi - Hey. [16:00] <Imperios> Lemmo wore a more formal form of his normal outfit: a simple brown and white Tertanai suit. [16:01] <OluapPlayer> (7 Deadly Sins - yus) [16:01] <Imperios> Lemmo - Goddamn cheater. You know how much did that suit cost? [16:01] <@Xho> Tau - Where is the council's chamber? [16:01] <Hachi_> Hachi wore nothing too formal or special - he had only put on a seperate pair of trousers with some of his head fur combed to look more polished and orderly. Kezoreg hadn't changed clothes at all. [16:02] <Imperios> Fyrvrtha dignitary - Located there, is it. [16:02] <Imperios> *it is [16:02] <Monet> A small group of Commonwealth aliens approached wearing white silken robes that hid most of their forms. [16:03] <Monet> Usher - Greetings, I take it you are the aggregate military party from Plazith Rim? [16:03] <Imperios> Lemmo - Not exactly. But yes, sort of. [16:03] <OluapPlayer> Mu - For the most part. [16:04] <Imperios> Usher 2 - Welcome to Elysion then. The Council chamber is at the center of the station. [16:04] <@Xho> Nu - Of course. [16:04] <Monet> As the Usher led them to a smart, white building some way down the road, several diplomats gave wary looks to the Kicath party as they walked. [16:04] <@Xho> Nu looked at them back, before giving them a territorial growl. [16:05] <Monet> The growl caused some to move warily away. Some of the Guardians, clad in gold-trimmed white armour, glared at Nu under their helmets. [16:06] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - Stop. [16:06] <Monet> Usher - Apologies...we do not see many Kicath on the station these days. [16:06] <@Xho> Tau hit Nu in the side, causing him to splutter. [16:06] <@Xho> Zeta - Is the Empire not allowed here? [16:06] <Imperios> Usher 2 - Forgive their... unfriendly glances. Many in the Commonwealth are wary of the Kicath after their secession from the Commonwealth. [16:07] <@Xho> Tau - Take that as a no. [16:07] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - These Kicath are under the Polar Crystal Alliance. [16:07] <Monet> Usher - My companion is right. Some fear that the Empire seceeded to plan an eventual attack on us. [16:08] <@Xho> Kithworto - It would not surprise me. 'Emperor' Kitoramnan has always been xenophobic. [16:08] <OluapPlayer> Mu - After this entire thing is over, we should pay him a visit or something. [16:10] <Hachi_> Hachi - He sounds like a nice guy! [16:10] <@Xho> Upsilon - Just as well. The aranmasolótanaþukoiaí ordered me to conduct mass executions on our protectorate species for a rejection of territorial expansion. [16:10] <@Xho> Zeta - I remember that. All of us regretted doing that afterwards. [16:11] <Monet> Usher - Yes his ways are being frowned upon in several circles. [16:11] <OluapPlayer> Mu - I don't like killign Elinte. They're a cool load. [16:11] <@Xho> Kithworto - And I regret allowing him to do that. [16:11] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - We should not leave the Highlords waiting. [16:12] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - They can afford to wait. [16:12] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Shut up. [16:12] <@Xho> The team entered the chamber. It was to say the least large - a seemingly endless hall with a dauntingly high ceiling. Like the outside, it was clad in white and gold. In the middle was a podium for the team to stand in. [16:13] <Imperios> Lemmo - That is the place. Don't really feel right in here... too much of a criminal scum to face such magnificence, I guess. [16:14] <Hachi_> Hachi - It's shiny! Like those underwear I saw on one of my videos! Kalcedia - I have a pair of those in my quarters. They're a bitch to to both take off and put on. [16:14] <Monet> Populating the hall were hundreds of alien species but within a booth that the podium faced were three figures - a stately Draconis, a lithe Radeon women with a powerful presence and a Zazane in obsidian-black armour. [16:15] <Imperios> Venoriel - Ah, you're here, Quinniath. Excellent. [16:15] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - All I see are clowns. [16:15] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - Xeron once suggested making a statue of him. The entire room let out a good chuckle. [16:15] <Imperios> Next to the podium was a hologram of a blue Radeon in military uniform. [16:15] <@Xho> On a wall, a sign was clearly put out in multiple languages - 'No weapons allowed.' Although the Kicathian translation was broken to the point where the Agents struggled to make sense of it. [16:15] <Imperios> Venoriel - I hope you shall not disappoint me. [16:15] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Only clowns I see here are you and Koluap. Koluap - heh. [16:16] <@Xho> Psi - No...no...uh. Ugh. Who employed you to carve THAT in? [16:16] <Monet> Usher - The....Andromedan Light can hear all of you. [16:16] <Imperios> (AGC has complex trasnalation tech, you know) [16:16] <Imperios> (and no weapons allowed is pretty simple to write) [16:17] <@Xho> (I have said multiple times Kicathian is very difficult to translate regardless) [16:18] <@Xho> Tau - At least the other languages are translated well enough. [16:18] <Imperios> (an entire galaxy's effort is kinda enough to translate three words correctly) [16:19] <@Xho> (It's still going into the story anyway) [16:19] <Imperios> (meh okay) [16:19] <@Xho> Kithworto - We should press on. They are waiting for us. [16:19] <Imperios> (bathos much) [16:19] <Hachi_> Hachi - Who are those three? Wait... is that the big salamander guy from Macronormus? [16:20] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - You met all of them in the Borealis War, hachi. [16:20] <Hachi_> Hachi - Oh! Oh! I remember the short red guy now! He's mean. [16:20] <Hachi_> Hachi - The woman, though... mmmm... [16:21] <@Xho> The team entered the podium. The three figures overlooked the team. [16:21] <Imperios> Usher 2 - The building's architecture is based on the Panopticon style common in the Divinarium, meaning that the Highlords can hear you easily now, young human. [16:21] <Monet> Usher - And Draconis don't take kindly to being called "salamanders". [16:22] <Imperios> *easily, young human. [16:22] <@Xho> (moov dis) [16:23] <Monet> Usher - Esteemed representetives of Andromeda. These dignitaries come before you with news of great importance. [16:23] <OluapPlayer> Koluap waved at the Highlords eagerly. [16:24] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Hey Tyraz! Hey not-red Uriel! Hey...whoever's the last one. [16:24] <@Xho> Kithworto stood in the middle of the team with his claws behind his back and his tail wrapped around his legs. The Agents were stood similarly, except from Nu. [16:25] <Imperios> Iovera - Ah, the heroes of the Xhodocto conflict. The word of your endeavours has reached our ears, noble warriors. You are welcomed here. [16:25] <Imperios> Iovera bowed to the team respectfully in a manner common to her species. [16:26] <Hachi_> Tyraz - Hmph. Mostly. [16:26] <Imperios> *you are welcome [16:26] <Hachi_> Tyraz eyed towards Kezoreg, who snarled with a scowl on his face. [16:26] <Imperios> Venoriel - I have to agree with the Grandmaster at that point. [16:26] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Eh? C'mon, I didn't break anything...this time. [16:26] <@Xho> Kithworto's eyes shone a crimson red at Tyraz. [16:26] <@Xho> (Even though that's his general eye colour but blah) [16:26] <Monet> Uriel - Tyraz perhaps any animosity can wait until *after* the hearing? [16:27] <Hachi_> Tyraz - Hmph, as you wish, Uriel. [16:27] <Imperios> Iovera - This is a place where peace is forged, Tyraz. We have to maintain civility. [16:27] <@Xho> Kithworto - Highlords. We have news following recent events concerning Gigaquadrantic matters. Andromeda is of most vulnerability in this matter. [16:28] <Imperios> Iovera's ears twitched in surprise. [16:28] <OluapPlayer> (Tyraz - ur so cut ewhen u do dat) [16:28] <@Xho> (ew) [16:28] <Imperios> Iovera - Tell us more. [16:28] <Imperios> (well we all know what happens if someone touches Radeon ears) [16:28] <Hachi_> Tyraz looked towards Iovera and smiled as her ears twitched, before his brief smile disappeared into a frown once more and glared towards the group. [16:29] <@Xho> Kithworto - I am not sure whether you are aware, but there is activity within Andromeda, outside of the Commonwealth grasp. I speak of the Dominion. [16:29] <Hachi_> Tyraz - How long have you known of this? How long have you known before you decided to alert us? [16:30] <Imperios> ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naVoMFKMXfo theme) [16:30] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - The Shka'Tun have been destroyed, and the Dominion plots to cause more bloodshed with a fleet of superweapons known as "Rectifiers". [16:30] <Imperios> Iovera's eyes widened in disbelief. [16:30] <Hachi_> (Hachi - erectifier) [16:30] <Monet> Uriel - Impossible! [16:30] <@Xho> Kithworto - Approximately half a year. That half a year being within their own territory itself. We have faced multiple previously thought dead forces. Including... [16:30] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - Standing before you is the last Shka'Tun. [16:31] <@Xho> Kithworto's voice dwindled slightly. [16:31] <Imperios> Iovera - Possible, Uriel. I have seen the extent of the demons' power firsthand; there is nothing they cannot accomplish. [16:31] <Hachi_> Tyraz - Half a cycle?! [16:32] <@Xho> Kithworto - We have come face-to-face with the Xhodocto themselves. [16:32] <Imperios> Venoriel - The same can be said of us, Your Holiness. The Commonwealth's military forces are always at your side. [16:32] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Angazhar and that other creepy asshat, Santorakh. [16:32] <Imperios> Iovera literally froze as her eyes closed; it seemed as if she was communing with something else. [16:33] <Monet> Uriel slumped in his chair and lowered his head, glaring down towards the group, sending a chill down Grukarb's spine. [16:33] <Hachi_> Tyraz - You fight Ayrai'Shikua and you do not think to alert us sooner so we can prepare? Are you all inflicted with madness? [16:33] <Imperios> Iovera - Dei'nar'aechin'saim... Dei'nar'aechin'saim.. [16:33] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - I thought you lot already knew. [16:33] <Imperios>. [16:33] <@Xho> Kithworto - Have you faced the Xhodocto themselves, 'Highlord'? There is little in your mind aside from surviving your ordeal. [16:33] <Imperios> Iovera'e eyes opened again, although her face still remained somewhat unnerved. [16:33] <Imperios> Iovera - I-I did. I have my... sources. [16:34] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - We have literally just stopped a Dominion attack on a supernatural dimension known as "Realm of Dreams". [16:34] <Monet> Uriel - It was though High Inquisitor Arsac that the Grand Senate learned of this threat, demanding the support of Wraith Legion. [16:34] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Yeah...about that. [16:34] <Imperios> (hm. Are any other Commonwealth officials present here?) [16:35] <@Xho> Kithworto - There is an issue there. High Inquisitor Arsac has been lost. Not killed. Converted. [16:35] <Hachi_> Tyraz growled and took a step forward, glaring towards the group as his eyes burned brightly with crimson. [16:35] <Hachi_> Tyraz - ...What did you do?! [16:35] <Monet> Uriel - Tyraz... [16:35] <@Xho> Kithworto's head turned toward Tyraz' own. [16:35] <@Xho> Kithworto - I would ask the same question. [16:35] <Imperios> Iovera - ...No, Tyraz. Don't! [16:35] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - Arsac abandoned us and joined the Corruptus. Her heart was filled with demonic fire. [16:35] <Imperios> (just curious if I could bring Vesperon here) [16:36] <Hachi_> (Pause, gotta go eat) [16:36] <Imperios> Iovera became singificantly more unnerved as tendrils of elemental energy started to flow around her. [16:36] <@Xho> (dum) [16:36] <OluapPlayer> (rip rp) [16:36] <@Xho> (meh might as well go eat something as well) [16:38] <Imperios> (could I, Mon?) [16:38] <@Xho> (I think we're about 4 seconds from another Kithworto/Tyraz fight) [16:39] <OluapPlayer> (Arkarixus - AIRLOCK FOR BOTH) [16:39] <Monet> (dunno if it would be redundant) [16:40] <@Xho> (Kithworto - y u airlock me) [16:40] <OluapPlayer> (Arkarixus - cus u bein dum) [16:40] <@Xho> (Kithworto - ;A; NOOOOOOOOOOH) [16:43] <@Xho> (That moment when you realise Kithworto is actually more evil than Tyraz) [16:44] <OluapPlayer> (All your chars are more evil than everyone else) [16:45] <@Xho> (Makes sense) [16:45] <Imperios> Iovera will probably have to stop him [16:46] <Imperios> It's getting dum hur [16:46] <Imperios> (Monet could you give me the chance to use Iovera as the main pacifier so far as the section is concerned) [16:46] <Imperios> (?) [16:47] <Monet> (Well she is Tyraz's wife. So yeah) [16:50] <Hachi_> (bak) [16:51] <OluapPlayer> (moov dis) [16:51] <@Xho> (gud) [16:51] <Monet> Ureil - I find it unlikely the High Inquisitor would abdondon the order because I have seen her tenacity for myself. [16:51] <Monet> abandon* [16:51] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - We have seen her abandon us with our own eyes. [16:52] <@Xho> Tau - She would be here if it were a false accuastion. [16:52] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Yeah, she walked off with some green Radeon gal. [16:52] <@Xho> *accusation [16:52] <@Xho> Kithworto - A Chosen Acolyte named Geltastra. [16:52] <Imperios> Iovera - Her... her? Her?,, [16:52] <Imperios> *.. [16:53] <Imperios> A bolt of Essence materialised in Iovera's palm. [16:53] <Hachi_> Tyraz - And you did not think to assist her?! [16:53] <Monet> Uriel jolted to look at Iovera in surprise. [16:53] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - We obviously did. Look who you're talking to. [16:53] <Imperios> Iovera - Tyraz! You are fully aware of the sway the Corruptus has over souls: you have to understand them. You... you just have. [16:54] <Hachi_> Tyraz - If I knew who I was talking to, she would still be here! You either speak lies or one of you has planned her corruption from the start! [16:54] <Monet> Corteus - Well Highlord...she was very sure of herself, but unfortunately we're lucky she hadn't stabbed half our throats. [16:54] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - Why are you yelling at me? I thought we were buddies! [16:55] <Monet> Sarec looked away from the group and sighed, looking troubled [16:55] <Imperios> Iovera - Don't do that, Tyraz. Please... [16:55] <Hachi_> Tyraz - If anything, I'd say the Kicath abomination organized her betrayal and corruption to rid of her! If not, why did he not save her?! [16:55] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - We are not to blame if you blind yourself from the truth because you are too scared to accept it. [16:56] <Hachi_> Tyraz - The Kicath aberration is godly in his power - if he was leading you, why is Arsac now gone? [16:56] <Monet> Sarec - Tyraz...she had traces of your energies latent within her which...emerged when we were in the Realm of Dreams. [16:57] <@Xho> Kithworto - It seems that I am not the one to blame, 'Highlord'. I suggest you remain quiet whilst we divulge the situation at hand before this gets...out of hand. [16:57] <Imperios> Iovera - I sensed that. The.. .disturbance. The disharmony. [16:58] <Hachi_> Tyraz - This would have been kept in order if you had informed us, or me at least! Arsac would not have been lost, unless that is what YOU planned, mutant! [16:59] <Hachi_> Tyraz - I am not to blame for her corruption, she was your responsibility! [16:59] <Monet> Uriel - Kithworto as much as you are respected within these halls, giving a highlord the suggestion to "remain quiet" would not be the wisest course of action. [17:00] <@Xho> Kithworto - I am afraid it is not his place to tell me what to do, Paragon. It is wiser for him to know that. [17:00] <Imperios> Iovera - It is noone's responsibility, Tyraz. We have to accept the things as they are. [17:01] <@Xho> Tau - I knew it was a bad idea coming here. [17:01] <Monet> Uriel - ...The Wraith Legionnaires. They would have recorded the incident. [17:02] <Imperios> Iovera nodded. [17:02] <Imperios> Iovera - As would have our Assassinorium agents. [17:02] <Imperios> Quinniath - I think I have some footage... or maybe not. Don't remember. [17:02] <OluapPlayer> (Geltastra should totally show up right now) [17:02] <Imperios> Venoriel - Simple-minded to an extreme. [17:02] <@Xho> Kithworto - This was within a different plane of existence. It would have been unknown to all. [17:02] <Imperios> *to an unprecedented scale. [17:03] <Hachi_> Tyraz - You have no right to talk in these halls, Kicath! You could have saved her but you did not. And do not give me an excuse of being unable - you are the most capable of your group. All the more reason why this is evidence towards treachery. [17:04] <Monet> Uriel - Do recording implants not work within this "realm of dreams"? [17:04] <@Xho> Kithworto's aura surged; all of the essence users in the room felt a very brief but very sharp burn in their bodies. [17:04] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus growled loudly and barred his teeth. [17:04] <@Xho> Kithworto - I do not have to resort to peaceful solutions. I am doing this because there is a common enemy to all of us. [17:05] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - Ther eis nothing stopping recording implants from not working within the Realm of Dreams. [17:05] <@Xho> Kithworto - In that case, one of the Agents will have it archived. [17:06] <@Xho> Kithworto looked to Mu. [17:06] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - If anything they would have been more effective, considering we had that Thoi'olerthae shielding us. [17:06] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Eh? Oh. Yeah. Me and the Corteus guy should have it. [17:06] <Hachi_> Tyraz - The enemy is very clear in my eyes, 'Kicath'. [17:07] <Imperios> Iovera - This does not have to end in blood. Fighting as a united Gigaquadrant is the only thing we can do right now. [17:07] <Imperios> Iovera turned to Kithworto. [17:07] <Monet> Uriel - We shall see for ourselves what happened. This room is fitted with projection systems. [17:07] <@Xho> Kithworto's teeth bared as the lights began to dim. Tau put her hand on Kithworto's shoulder; the lights returned to normal as Tau's hand corroded black. [17:07] <Imperios> Iovera - Speaking of you, Kithworto... as godlike as you are, in your species' terms, you will not win this war alone. [17:08] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Let the Dravillian do it since this is his home empire and all. [17:08] <Imperios> I*war alone. So please, remain civil. [17:08] <@Xho> Kithworto - Very well. Keep your ánchekaró [dog] amused then. [17:09] <@Xho> Nu let out a slight chuckle. [17:09] <Monet> Corteus nodded and was attended to by a pair of ushers. After a few seconds the scene of Arsac's turning andn corruption played out in a projection suspended in the centre of the chamber. Uriel watched intently. [17:09] <Imperios> Iovera - I can understand you, you know. [17:10] <@Xho> Kithworto - Then understand that I am serious. [17:10] <Hachi_> Tyraz - Hmph. It is no wonder why the Empire did not want you. [17:11] <OluapPlayer> Between the team and the Highlords, a black fog manifested and took a form of a Radeon, but remaining simply as a fog. Two intensily green lights shined out of where its eyes should be. Out of it, a familiar voice was heard. [17:11] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - Your slaying of Master Shu'ytrogarva will not be ignored! [17:12] <Monet> Guardians mobilised and a cadre of Fordan Praetorians moved in to stand protectively in font of the Highlords. [17:13] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - Whenever you try to attack us, I will know. You can no longer hide from us. You are always within our sights. [17:13] <Hachi_> The crowd could hear glass smash as Tyraz leaped over the Guardian-Praetorian forces, the Firesword materializing in his hands as he roared. His sight was directed towards the fog, landing in front of it. [17:14] <@Xho> Nu - Kaþáratzílarínumanilat. [17:14] <OluapPlayer> The fog turned to Tyraz, and pointed at him. [17:14] <Imperios> Iovera - You. [17:14] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - Ah, yes...I also wanted to talk to you. [17:14] <Monet> Guardian - Higlord Breek stand back! [17:14] <@Xho> (Kaþáratzílarínumanilat = Cocksucker btw) [17:14] <Imperios> Iovera materialised an Isio'Nar staff using her Essence prowess and pointed at Geltastra with it. [17:14] <Imperios> Iovera - You do not belong here. [17:15] <Hachi_> Tyraz - Speak your lies, for I will hear many today! [17:15] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - I want to give you a special thank you, Tyraz Breek. [17:16] <Hachi_> Tyraz - ...For what? [17:16] <OluapPlayer> The fog leaned forward and patted Tyraz's shoulders. As it had no physical form, however, no contact was made. [17:16] <Imperios> Iovera raised her staff and energy began to coaelce around it like dew. [17:17] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - Thanks to you, Arsac's heart fell to the darkness. Your corruption made her realize how disgusting you mortals are. Always bickering among yourselves like children. You don't deserve her protection. [17:17] <Monet> Uriel stood up and rushed protectively only to be held back by the Praetorians, he growled and struggled, crying for the Praetorians to get out of his way [17:18] <@Xho> Kithworto did nothing to intervene. As far as he was concerned, he had no place in this. [17:18] <Imperios> Iovera - And who are you, Geltastra? Who are you without your masters to fill your husk of a body with thoughts and powers? [17:19] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - I am a god's servant. I can break you again if you like. [17:19] <Hachi_> Tyraz glared downwards, snarling as he heard Geltastra's words. His muscles and body twitched aggressively as he struggled to hold back his anger, his crimson eyes burning like a demonic fire. He would have been panting if he had functioning lungs. [17:19] <Imperios> Iovera - And who are you without your god? I ask you again. WHO? [17:20] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - I am everything you fear and despise. I am what this universe will become soon! Thanks to you, the High Inquisitor is mine! [17:21] <Hachi_> Tyraz - ...Get out of my sight. Do not come back, for I shall kill you again, and again, and again. [17:21] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - You cannot kill me, for I am eternal! You gave me the Inquisitor. You made her what she is now. Be thankful I chos enot to get here involved. [17:21] <Monet> Uriel tilted his head up, seeing Arsac's transformation, his nicitating membranes flickering frantically as he saw her become a monster, Clenching his eyes he gathered the strength to push a Praetorian aside and leaned over the balcony. [17:22] <OluapPlayer> *get her [17:22] <OluapPlayer> *involved in this meeting [17:22] <Monet> Uriel - You have caused enough pain witch! [17:23] <Hachi_> Tyraz - ...Push me further and what you desire will not be worth gaining. [17:23] <Imperios> Iovera - You may corrupt anyone, you hear, ANYONE! As far as we stand, we will live on! [17:23] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra's green eyes turned blood red and her voice turned into a demoic roar. [17:23] <OluapPlayer> Geltastra - '''You creatde this monster. And now this monster wants to destroy you.''' [17:24] <OluapPlayer> (have him attack the fog or something) [17:24] <Hachi_> Tyraz roared intensely as he swung his arm, sending a ribbon of demonic fire from the Firesword as he swung it recklessly and carelessly, too engaged in his anger to pay attention to his surroundings. [17:25] <Monet> Uriel - Tyraz stop! [17:25] <OluapPlayer> Tyraz's attack caused the fog dissipate. it slowly disappeared from sight, Geltastra's laugher being heard until it also stopped. [17:25] <OluapPlayer> to dissipate* [17:25] <Hachi_> Hachi - Watch out! [17:26] <@Xho> Kithworto stood there, arms folded. As he looked at Tyraz, a tortured and sadistic smile went through his face. [17:26] <Imperios> Iovera - You disgust me, Kicath. For all your power... [17:27] <Monet> Sarec held out his arms, attempting to save the delegates from the fiery slashes that resonated thoughout the hall, cutting into the audience benches. [17:27] <@Xho> Kithworto spoke out loud, his voice coinciding with that of a Xi'Arazulha. His voice spoke coherently on the top and the darkness under his voice spoke in the tongues of the demons. [17:28] <@Xho> Kithworto - You attempt to comprehend the incomprehensible. The universe works in strange ways. It is a folly to intervene and therefore always will be. Arsac's conversion was the will of nature itself. [17:29] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - Once again, you cannot bare the truth that you are at fault! Tyraz - Quiet, hellspawn! You bring nothing but death in your wake! [17:29] <Hachi_> Tyraz sent a blast of demonic fire towards Kezoreg from the Firesword, with the ribbon incinerating the ground as it flowed through the air at tremendous speeds. [17:29] <Imperios> Iovera, strangel ,did not interfere. [17:29] <Imperios> *strangely, [17:29] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - This meeting is a failure. Let us leave. We have to stop the Rectifiers by yourselves. [17:30] <@Xho> Kithworto stood between the blast of flame and Kezoreg, absorbing the flames. [17:30] <Monet> Uriel - Kezoreg I am dissapointed in you, lashing out at your own biological father like this! [17:31] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - That isn't MY father! He never told me that I was born of Xhodocto, did he?! You were in on it, as was that bitch! [17:32] <Monet> Uriel - For the benefit of your own well-being! [17:32] <Hachi_> Tyraz dematerialized the Firesword and stepped away, glaring towards Kithworto and his group and uttering a sentence before making his departure into the shadows where he would conceal himself and disappear. [17:32] <Imperios> Iovera - Tragic. Most tragic... [17:32] <Hachi_> Tyraz - Speak with the others, you may use my armies but you shall not gain my support. [17:32] <@Xho> Kithworto - I should have known better to trust a treacherous demon abomination and his incompetent wife. You will face this threat alone and when you do, I hope you will regret this day. As for you, Paragon. I expected you to see past the fact that he holds great hatred towards me. I sincerely hope you realise the truth and not your friend's reason. [17:33] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus turned back and left. Tharaqím, seeing no point being there, also left. [17:33] <Imperios> Iovera - Hmph. Your supposed godhood blinds you and makes you arrogant... [17:33] <Monet> Uriel - I understand what is at stake and at the very least, you will have the support of the Imperial Talon NAvy. [17:34] <Imperios> Iovera - ...and the Dei'Ar Order. I shall dispatch whatever forces we have. [17:34] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - I am very disappointed with you, Tyraz... [17:34] <@Xho> Kithworto's eyes shone at Iovera's, before nodding at Uriel and then turning around, leaving. [17:34] <OluapPlayer> Koluap also turned back and left. [17:35] <@Xho> The Agents also followed before giving a spiteful look at Iovera. [17:35] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - Who knows, maybe Tyraz is the next to be corrupted like that Arsac bitch. He appears to be getting close to it. [17:35] <Monet> Uriel gave a heaving sigh as he sat back down in his chair, holding his head. [17:35] <Monet> Corteus - Do you want to piss off the Paragon too? [17:35] <@Xho> Kithworto - Tyraz was the one who did it. [17:35] <OluapPlayer> Mu - So...pleased to meet you, I guess. [17:36] <OluapPlayer> Mu turned back and left last. [17:36] <OluapPlayer> Koluap - I'd save Tyraz if he was in danger. But now? He can die for all I care. [17:37] <@Xho> Kithworto - The Paragon was divided in opinion. Whether to trust Tyraz or myself. The proof is clear. If he chooses Tyraz' opinion, I am afraid he is no more intelligent than him. [17:37] <Hachi_> Kezoreg laughed as he walked with the group, while Hachi looked unnerved and saddened by the outcome. He took one last look towards the halls of the Highlords. [17:37] <Imperios> Lemmo - Hm. Isn't that what the Xhodocto want? Chaos? Division? [17:38] <Monet> Corteus - You have to understand that as far as he's concerned, Arsac had a completely incorruptable persona. [17:38] <@Xho> Kithworto - I thought the same. Even someone as 'godlike' as me can be wrong. [17:38] <Hachi_> (Crispy - HAI GUISE) [17:38] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - Learn that nothing is immune to Corruptus corruption. You should have known when Kithworto himself was possessed. [17:39] <@Xho> Tau - And what about the Zazane? [17:39] <Imperios> Lupercal - Arrogance blinds him. Arrogance and... something else. [17:40] <@Xho> Kithworto - I would choose Angazhar over him to be my helmsman. [17:40] <Hachi_> Hachi - ...He was only trying to protect his friend. [17:40] <OluapPlayer> Tharaqím - Stubborness. If he keeps this attitude, he will die. [17:40] <@Xho> Kithworto turned to Hachi. [17:40] <Monet> Grukarb - 'ow about the fact his own kid would happily isnult him? [17:41] <@Xho> Kithworto - I...understand why you say that. But you must be clear - Arsac is no longer herself. She is a threat to everyone now. [17:41] <Monet> Sarec - We're just lucky it was Geltastra this time. [17:41] <Hachi_> Hachi - I think Tyraz is the larger threat, Kithworto... When you take something like that from a man as insane as Tyraz... [17:41] <@Xho> Eta - Yeah. My bet was on Angazhar showing up again. [17:42] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - Tyraz gets pissed over anybody simply touching Uriel. Then again, Tyraz is powerless in comparison to Kithworto. [17:42] <OluapPlayer> Mu - I'm getting tired of Angazhar and Santorakh showing up. I'm perfectly okay with a punchable Corruptus gal. [17:42] <@Xho> Nu chuckled. [17:42] <@Xho> Nu - Finally, something we can agree upon. [17:43] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Doomsday really IS coming. [17:43] <@Xho> Kithwroto - Never assume one is powerless. Arsac once said that the mortals in this universe have the true power. Existing among them has only strengthened my belief in that. [17:43] <@Xho> *Kithworto [17:43] <Imperios> Lemmo - Oh yes hell we are. [17:43] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - And look what happened to Arsac. Boom, demon. [17:44] <@Xho> Kithworto - And then look at us. [17:44] <Monet> Corteus - Well she did say it before she went crazy. [17:44] <@Xho> Kithworto looked on at the chamber they just left. [17:44] <Monet> Grukarb - Uhh hey look on the bright side, at least we have the Unified Andromedan Navy on our side! [17:44] <OluapPlayer> Arkarixus - Forget about this. If we come across her, we will slay her. If Tyraz attempts to stop us, we will slay him. And when we fight the Rectifiers, we will slay them too. [17:45] <Monet> Corteus - I think Tyraz hinted we had the aid of the Guardians too. [17:45] <Hachi_> Hachi - He said we were free to use them. [17:46] <@Xho> Kithworto - I hope the Paragon takes Tyraz by the horns and hurls them into a wall. His wife as well. He is the only one who sees reason in this madness. Why the Commonwealth would elect an Isio'Nar and a subservient demonspawn as Highlords will remain unknown even to Kamik'Shi. [17:47] <Hachi_> Kezoreg - Because it wasn't elected - they founded it and saw themselves as rightful. [17:47] <Monet> Sarec - Unlike with this team, most of the COmmonwealth are unaware Iovera is one of the Isio'Nar. [17:48] <Monet> Corteus - and Tyraz *did* save the galaxy. [17:48] <@Xho> Kithworto - But he cannot save himself. What does that say to you? [17:49] <Hachi_> Hachi - That he's willing to die for people no matter how much strain's put on him. [17:49] <Monet> Corteus - He suffered the loss of a close friend. When that happens to you, ask that question again, [17:49] <OluapPlayer> Mu - Man...diplomacy is hard. [17:49] <Monet> ask me* [17:49] <Imperios> Lupercal - Her Holiness is a wise ruler. But only in times of peace. [17:50] <Hachi_> Hachi - Tyraz doesn't care about himself as much as he does for other people. He doesn't fight for himself, he fights for others. Sure he's violent and angry, but only because he cares so much about his friends. [17:50] <Imperios> (dun?) [17:50] <Hachi_> Hachi - When you're faced with an eternity, you wanna keep the people who make it seem like living around for as long as possible. [17:51] <Monet> Grukarb - At least all three hihlords have track records of actually acting rather than making dozens of promises. [17:51] <Imperios> Lupercal - An admirable virtue. Selflessness. Lack of it was the death of... a friend of mine. [17:51] <@Xho> Kithworto - I know what loss is. And I know that in that mind frame, you do not lead a galaxy with a clear conscience. Come. We are returning to the Dominion territory. [17:51] <Imperios> (dun?) [17:52] <@Xho> (got nuthin else to say) [17:52] <OluapPlayer> (yeh) [17:54] <Monet> (ooks like it) [17:54] <OluapPlayer> [17:55] <OluapPlayer> This section was tense hur [17:56] <Imperios> oKAY [17:56] <Imperios> Can I add a little aftermath bit now? [17:56] <@Xho> Kithworto - MAN FUCK ALL OF YOU [17:56] <OluapPlayer> Yeah sure [17:56] <OluapPlayer> Tyraz got Koluap mad at him [17:57] <OluapPlayer> The impossible became possible [18:00] <Imperios> Alright [18:00] <Imperios> [18:01] <@Xho> (secks between tyraz and iovera cuz ur a sik bastard) [18:01] <Imperios> (hm) [18:01] <Imperios> (I can always have a second aftermath section) [18:02] <Imperios> (cos that is actually a good idea) [18:02] <Imperios> [18:02] <@Xho> (NOOOOOOH) [18:03] <Imperios> The council chambers of the Elysion Station were dark, empty after the ill-fated meeting. The alliance that could vanquish stars ceased to be, turned into void, nothingness. Conflict, division among mortals. Was that the ultimate goal of the Dominion? Chaos. Disorder. Hatred. These were the things that the Xhodocto left in their wake - in hearts and bodies alike. [18:04] <Imperios> There was also another force, one that was not a universal destroyer but more akin to a cowardly jackal that feasted on the flesh of the fallen - and the disorder and chaos the Dominion was the harbinger of was their food. Misery was their ultimate desire. Agony was their ultimate joy. [18:07] <Imperios> Noone could hear the voices of the mad ones when the dark chambers of Elysion were flooded with a cacophony of malevolent laughter that was as ancient as the universe itself. The laughter that was the nightmare of those who seeked solace in the dark unverse. The laughter that belonged to those who were corrupted eons ago, whose corruption was initated not by demonic or omnipotent forces, but by their own dark desires. In w [18:08] <Monet> (ends with "in w") [18:08] <Imperios> *war, for them, there was peace. [18:10] <Imperios> The voice laughed at the bickering forces of the universe, of the defenders of all things sane and concise broken and shattered over petty struggles. These things reminded the voice of the things that it had shed countless millenia ago. No, it was not a demon, not even an Essential. [18:11] <Imperios> It was merely a mortal - a very, very, very twisted and very, very, very powerful mortal, a mortal that had been once been... a human? A precursor? A Loron? Nobody knew. Whatever it was before, now it was the harbinger of war, chaos, and madness. [18:11] <Imperios> With a demonic screech, the once-mortal ceased its laughter and said the words that all mad prophets that gibber in the darkness to their followers say to this day. [18:12] <Imperios> SO STRENGTHENS THE MELODY OF MADNESS. [18:15] <Imperios> With a terrified scream, Iovera awakened from her slumber. Radeons did not usually sleep much - especially not Clericarchs. She sighed as she realised that her vision was only a dream, but she knew full well as a being of her magnitude that there was more in dreams than meets the eye. With an expression of relief on her face, she saw Tyraz lying next to her on their bed and smiled - but at the same time, remained strained [18:15] <Imperios> Iovera - ...They have returned. [18:15] <Imperios> [18:15] <Imperios> (dere) [18:16] <Imperios> *from her sleep

[17:07] <Monet> Slave - Well...Another of Master Septis's guests had a confrontation w-with one o-of the Imp-erial family. N-not long after the residence c-came under attack... [17:08] <Xho> Kithworto looked around, surveying the damage done. As he looked at the slave's face, he thought to himself. [17:08] <Xho> Kithworto - This might help. [17:09] <Xho> Kithworto's fingertips glowed a bright blue, before putting his claw tips on the slave's face. From that, her face and arm became devoid of bruises. [17:10] <Monet> The slave touched her face to feel she no longer had any damage on her, she smiled with relief. [17:10] <Monet> Slave - Almighty Uriel bless you sir! You are too kind. [17:11] <Xho> Kithworto let out a slight nod, but his facial expression, which was perpetually deadpan, did not change. [17:13] <Monet> Slave - Is there anything you require sir? [17:14] <Xho> Kithworto - I wish to see Septis. [17:16] <Monet> Slave - Master Septis? He is upstairs. Go up the stairs at the end of the hall, he is beyond the fourth door to your left. [17:20] <Xho> Kithworto spoke in Kicathian, an apparent expression of gratitude. As he walked way from the servant, the cold aura that surrounded him followed. He walked up the steps, his feet leaving a temporal stain on the chiselled floor with his essence. He passed through the hall, past the doors, until from a distance, he caught sight of a Draconis with noble clothing set around him. [17:22] <Monet> Septis was sitting at a desk in an opuulently decorated bedroom. Or at least ,ti would have been. Whatever happened had broke nth high bed posts, burned the curtains and caused a few holes in the walls. Septis sat at the desk holding his arm, i nthe other hand, a nanospray he was using to administer relief from the pain. [17:24] <Xho> Kithworto walked to the doorway of Septis' destroyed quarters, and waited there until his aura would meet Septis' skin. [17:27] <Monet> Septis sighed as the nanospray settled like silver litter on his arm befroeseeping into his skin, sighting, he turned around. The emerald eyes he had inherited from his father peered upwards to meet Kithworot's snout. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. Slight confusion as though he was trying to attach a name to a face. [17:27] <Monet> Septis - ...How did you get in here? [17:27] <Xho> Kithworto - I walked in. Your servant was kind enough to direct me here. [17:28] <Xho> Kithworto looked around the room. [17:28] <Xho> Kithworto - A rough night? [17:29] <Monet> Septis - One way of putting it. Wait...Kithworto? Yes? [17:30] <Xho> The corner of Kithworto's mouth turned upwards in a small smile. Kithworto called Septis his name by the Kicathian custom. [17:32] <Monet> Septis - I apologise for the state of the residence. Kezo-- I mean Kithanan seems to be constantly followed by devastation. [17:33] <Xho> Kithworto - So, my suspicions were correct. Kithanan was behind this ordeal. [17:35] <Monet> Septis - I think so. That Templar that intruded seemed really determined to end his life. [17:37] <Xho> Kithworto - Indeed. However, I don't believe I disciplined Kithanan to fight like this. [17:38] <Xho> Kithworto walked further into the bedroom, looking around. [17:38] <Monet> Septis - A good deal of it was the Templar. My apologies, i'm not sure if you've ever seen a Templar before. [17:39] <Xho> Kithworto - I am unfamiliar with these..."templars". [17:41] <Monet> Septis - They're not common. But they are high-level operatives of the Grand Inquisition. I don't know how but the one that fought Kithanan was no mere operative. He was comparable to Kithanan in terms of essence potential. [17:42] <Xho> Kithworto's brow lowered in scepticism. [17:42] <Xho> Kithworto - The Inquisition attacked? [17:44] <Monet> Septis - Yeah. Came in burning with some white light around him and went straight for Kithanan with a burning axe. [17:45] <Xho> Kithworto looked around the bedroom, carefully analysing the damage. [17:45] <Xho> Kithworto - ...Why / [17:45] <Xho> *...Why? [17:47] <Monet> Septis - Never said clearly. He burst in, demanded Kithanan's head, then the two of them battled each other without hesitation. [17:49] <Monet> Septis - Templars are like that. They arrive, throw around holy energies until everything they deem "impure" stops moving, then leave. Occasionally asserting themselves as Drakon's messengers if you believe that sort of thing. [17:50] <Xho> Kithworto - I'm afraid my belief in Drakon is lacking. Unfortunately, the degree in which I had trained Kithanan in unfortunately denied him of a moral limitation. [17:51] <Monet> Septis - Don't think Templars are any more merciful. A few of my servants were unfortunately caught in the Templar's attacks and...well...they didn't survive. [17:53] <Xho> Kithworto - I am now concerned as to why the Inquisition wish to kill him. I know they have wished to imprison me since I discovered...myself...but who ordered the attack? [17:54] <Monet> Septis scoffed and turned back to looking at his arm. [17:54] <Monet> Septis - They never make it explicit. They act as though Drakon himself sent them however. [17:55] <Monet> (speak, not act) [17:56] <Xho> Kithworto - And what of the High Inquisitor? [17:57] <Monet> Septis - There hasn't been a high inquisitor for decades. [17:57] <Monet> Septis - High Inquisitor Arsac dissapeared some sixty years ago. [17:58] <Xho> Kithworto's brow raised slightly. As if he did not know that Arsac disappeared. [17:58] <Xho> Kithworto - And what of...your father? [17:59] <Monet> Septis - Feel free to look outside. [17:59] <Monet> Septis sighed heavily. [17:59] <Monet> (crap i'm going to get cut off any minute now) [17:59] <Xho> Kithworto turned his head, and looked out of the slightly shattered window.

Looking outside to the city below, Kithworto could have noticed animated billboards. While too distant for any mortal to see, Kithworto could ahve made out the unmistakable features of Uriel with blood red eyes. The face in the billboard moved as iff Uriel was making a rousing speech. At the right angle, he could have seen a line in Low Dracid passing under him that read "Drakon didn't save us, I did." [19:50] <Xho> Kithworto sighed heavily; the sheer atmosphere surrounding his sigh caused the room to shudder. [19:50] <Xho> Kithworto - When did this happen? [19:51] <Monet> Septis - He's been like this for almost a century. He has the entire Imperium wrapped up into thinking he's come kind of god sent to guarentee the Imperium's salvation. [19:52] <Monet> Septis heaved himself up from his chair and walked over to the window, resting his arm against the wall as he leaned against it, looking out int othe metropolis below. [19:54] <Xho> Kithworto - There is always something I find intriguing about us as mortals. We come to believe we are gods, until the real god comes and smites everything in its path. From a saying in our own kind; "Mortals learn their place in a pool of blood." [19:54] <Xho> Kithworto - Not the most...profound saying...but it applied numerous times in the history of the Gigaquadrant. [19:55] <Monet> Septis - It's not just his newfound supernatural powers either. He's mutated all but the most novice of Blood Dragons into his personal army of "angels". My mother's been... different for years. The past few clutches she has laid share this power. He's almost creating an entire divine bloody dynasty. [19:59] <Xho> Kithworto - Hm. Speaking of that, another saying comes to mind. "Hubris is met with nemesis, a fatal flaw and a catastrophe." I'm afraid, Ultanos Septis, that this will likely not last. Do you believe your father can be saved? [20:02] <Monet> Uriel - I...do not know. He's been beyond returning to what he was for almsot a century. I don't think he's mortal anymore, I can see it in his eyes. [20:02] <Monet> Septis* [20:02] <Xho> Kithworto - It saddens me, in truth. [20:02] <Xho> Kithworto walked away from the window and looked around the room. [20:03] <Monet> Septis - What are you planning Kithworto? [20:05] <Xho> Kithworto - My reason for arriving in the Andromeda Galaxy was to find Kithanan. But this...problem with your father has made me think. My history with House Ultanos has been long. [20:07] <Xho> Kithworto sat down on a lounge chair, slightly shredded by the former carnage. [20:09] <Xho> Kithworto - Tell me, Septis. How much do you know of the history behind your family? [20:10] <Monet> Septis pushed himself from the wal land walked over to Kithworto, a waooried expression on his face. [20:11] <Monet> Septis - Well...we ruled for a long time, were once impreisoned in a grand conspiracy with House Khaxvis, spent fity millennia in a secret war with them, gate the Imperium more than one golden age, all with a tradition of being just and honourable leaders. Thet's a summary at least. [20:14] <Monet> Septis - We've had a few guardian angels. Oniron Voxis, Tyraz, hel'Bre'K, possibly a few others. My father used to wonder if Drakon was orchestrating it with some grand plan in mind. [20:15] <Xho> Kithworto - I remember when Paragon Uriel IV died. And when Onivira VIII was publicly executed...and when Paragon Alexis XIV began the Era of Tunnels. Those times felt similar to how the Draconid Imperium is changing now. [20:16] <Xho> Kithworto - I am not so familiar with how Andromeda has changed in the last century, but if I remember it right...it will become darker before the times change again. [20:18] <Xho> Kithworto - Do not ask me how I remember. The answer will not be to your liking. [20:19] <Monet> Septis - I've grown to be thankful of the way you like to keep the dark secrets to yourself. This galaxy does not need any mroe darkness than it already has. It makes me wonder how dark things will become before things do change. [20:22] <Xho> Kithworto - You were not alive at the time, but before your birth there was a war that lasted a decade. The Kicath had minimal involvement, but the damage done was cataclysmic. Entire civilisations destroyed. Species extinct. The universe was destroyed two times over. The world always ends before it is rebuilt. [20:24] <Xho> Kithworto - It is an unfortunate but well tested philosophy that originates before this universe was even conceived. And before you ask the question, I do not believe I am the 'god' that will smite everything in his path. I believe there can be another solution than having your father learn his place in the aforementioned manner. [20:25] <Monet> Septis kneeled dwon and looked at Kithworto in the eyes, looking more concerned tha never. [20:25] <Monet> Septis - I'm listening. [20:27] <Xho> Kithworto - If my time in this reality has taught me anything, it is that power does not die without violence. I fear the diminishing of your father's power will not end without a galactic massacre by his hands. [20:28] <Xho> Kithworto - Which makes me ask a question. Do you know who did this to your father? [20:29] <Monet> Septis - He's always kept it hidden, but he shares abilities and traits like those held by Kithanan and Tyraz before him. [20:29] <Xho> Kithworto's eyes flickered before meeting eye contact with Septis. [20:29] <Xho> Kithworto - Tyraz? [20:31] <Monet> Septis - I can only guess. Everyone in House Ultanos knew how close those two were. They were inseperable. But surely Tyraz would never do this. [20:33] <Xho> Kithworto - When I first met Tyraz, he had a decreasing affinity for an Asgord. And then a decreasing affinity for his son. Tyraz descended his Asgord wife. If he can do that to his wife, then doing it to his most trusted friend is an even greater chance. [20:37] <Xho> Kithworto - I never trusted Tyraz. He and I always...grated on each other. Those with the power to descend can and will descend others. It's almost a moral obligation to pass evil to another. [20:38] <Monet> Septis - Then if there is any chance of saving my father...you're saying it will be through violence? [20:39] <Xho> Kithworto - Violence, vengeance and catastrophic consequences. Those who destroy gods will destroy followers. [20:43] <Monet> Septis backed away hearing this. A heaving sight escaping his jaws as he looked away. [20:45] <Xho> Kithworto - I'm afraid that is the natural order. It has been since greater powers commanded it. ...I know you are not a believer of the greater powers, but nature takes its course in the form of cause and effect. [20:45] <Monet> Sephis - So that's it. To save my father he must fall, and in doing so taking the Imperium with him. [20:47] <Xho> Kithworto - But as I said. There are other solutions, but that depends upon the manner of our actions, not your father's. [20:50] <Xho> Kithworto - But any course taken, blood shall be spilt somewhere down the line. I cannot say whom. [20:51] <Monet> Septis - Kithanan will be returning soon. At least I think he will. I might have lost Uriel but without what he did the Imperium would already be a ruin. I've grown to accept this. [20:52] <Monet> Septis - Maybe you should too Kithworto. [20:53] <Xho> Kithworto - I would. But now, I cannot. I'm afraid that I must have questions answered. Kithanan can wait for now. [20:55] <Monet> Septis - Perhaps you aer better off asking Uriel. Regardless, I am glad you came to see me after all these years. [20:56] <Xho> Kithworto - Indeed. You have indeed grown from when we first met. I always believed in taking caution with the quiet ones. [20:58] <Monet> Septis - You are welcome to stay here if you like. Despite the damage the staff are doing their best to make everything as good as new. [20:59] <Xho> Kithworto - I'm afraid danger follows me wherever I tread. I believe most criminal syndicates are aware of my presence. [21:00] <Monet> Septis - If you insist. it was good seeing you again. [21:00] <Monet> Septis walked up and held out his hand to eb shaken. [21:00] <Xho> Kithworto - I'm afraid shaking my hand results in negative effects. [21:01] <Monet> Septis - Even after all this time? [21:01] <Xho> Kithworto - If anything, it perpetually worsens. But before I go, I wish to give you something. [21:02] <Monet> Septis lowered his hand and nodded silently, standing ready awaiting Kithworto's question. [21:03] <Xho> From Kithworto's chest pocket, between his claws was a small object of Kicathian design. It was a tetradecahedron in shape, and was onyx black. [21:04] <Xho> Kithworto - You may keep this if you wish, but if you see Kithanan again, give it to him. He shall know what this means if you give it to him. [21:04] <Monet> Septis cupped his hands and held them out to accept Kithwortos' gift, his eyes widening up upon seeing it. [21:05] <Monet> Septis - I will pass it along when I can. [21:05] <Xho> Kithworto placed the object in Septis' hands, which was a surprisingly weighty object. [21:06] <Monet> Septis felt weighted by the object, after a moment of looking at it heclosed his hands, subtly tipped the object into one hand and carefulyl inserted it into a wasitcoat pocket. [21:07] <Xho> Kithworto - It was a pleasure. [21:08] <Xho> Kithworto nodded, and left the room, taking the dark aura surrounding him with him. [21:08] <Monet> Septis - Wait. [21:08] <Xho> Kithworto stopped, and turned. [21:09] <Monet> Septis - Even if my father is destined to die, is there any way to preserve or even restore what he was without an AI duplicate? [21:10] <Xho> Kithworto - There is always a possibility. The only thing the universe has in plan for us is something we are not allowed to find out. [21:11] <Monet> Septis - I understand. [21:12] <Xho> Kithworto nodded again, and walked further on.
