Fiction:The Great Deceiver

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL WHO WANT TO GET INVOLVED, THIS WAR CAN ONLY BE JOINED BY EMPIRES TIER 5-3, AND MOST COORDINATION FOR IT WILL BE DONE ON THE #sporewiki IRC CHANNEL

=Overview=

The Name
The Great Deciever is actually the nickname of Tyranny Plan MW2-XV66 proposed by Grand Admiral Dialztreanvitz Raeditzkraft to the rest of the Grand Admirality during a military summit held on his flagship.

Sides
(put in the overview, strengths and weaknesses of your sides)

Drakodominatus Tyranny
A very powerful, advanced, and commensurately evil empire hailing from the Mirus Galaxy. They are the actual instigators of this war, but nobody knows it. They will sit on the sidelines of the war for the most part, as the sides kill each other. Their strengths lie in their technology, military prowess, and the Dominatus. Their weakness lies in the way that most of the expeditionary force is engaged with the DCP and thus not able to directly contribute to the war.

Drodo Empire
The Drodo are a somewhat new, powerful empire from the Milky Way. They are expanding there borders both in there native galaxy and in others. Determined and with advanced (and highly numerous) ships, they are a force to be reckoned with. With few true weaknesses, they are a jack-of-all-trades. However, they rarely specialize in anything, as a result of being balanced.

USF
After restore democratic government in the Federation, the Senate was restored as head of state while Vankalian was sent on a search and rescue mission into hyperspace. The Federation has lost her best warrior without his second best general: Afnai, so the Senate has risen to the Commandant Edelmut a new leader of the ISS. Without their best overall and best ship the Federation is in a compromising position in a new war, but not to be questioned Edelmut, the third best soldier of the Federation has certain abilities to consider and decisions can be cooler and calculated that it would take Vankalian. Furthermore Edelmut has been trained in how to control the essence of the greatest guru of history of the Federation, the brother of Vankalian: Zein Zatock.

UNXC
The United Nation of Xerxes IV's Constitution, better known as the UNXC, is a massive confederate alliance of 250 species total. The UNXC has a President which rules over a select district, and a Prime Magistrate that controls the entire collective. The founders and most notable race of the United Nation are the Shres, a somewhat enigmatic people who have a desire for order and enforcement of law. Two other extremely notable members of the UNXC are the Humans and the Martians. The current Prime Magistrate is Belim Codnar, a well respected Shres Republican that is fighting against united racial leadership (the ability for any non-Shres to become a candidate for Prime Magistrate). During wars the UNXC rely on there powerful and quick ships and well trained men to fight with the best they can muster. The UNXC's largest fleet is that of 133 flagships, and it has a total system control of 345,100 star systems. They are most notorious for fighting in a war against the feared Fredorian Dominion.

The Hegemony
The Hegemony brings with it large fleets. Since they have kept their territory hidden for so long, they have been able to build their military uninterrupted. They are good at ground combat, but excell way more in space. They will never surrender to the Drodo. Due to tyranny deception, they beleive that the Drodo have been spying on them. Now they will repay Drodo deception with blood.

Waptoria Alliance of Species
The Waptoria Alliance is a alliance of different species in Mirus. However, they originally came from the Milky Way, near Sol. When a battle rages near their Milky Way territory, they will investigate both sides, wishing to end the war, while staying neutral. However, as the war becomes continues, they will eventually chose a side. While quite fierce warriors, they are centered around happiness and love, and as such, haven't been involved in a war for a long time. Their main advantage is their organic technology and sapient ships, rare among the gigaquadrant. Their weaknesses are that their ships, due to being organic, are slightly more fragile than others.

Troodontid Empire
Although they live in the Cyrannus Glaxay, the Troodontids get somehow involved in the war. When they did research on a black hole near their home systems, they accidently went through a wormhole leading to the Milky Way Galaxy. By doing that, they get between the fronts of this war. When the ship that got through the wormhole was accidently attacked, the Troodontid Empire`s Army begins to travel through the wormhole step by step. They would like to end the conflict in peace, but nevertheless they will attack if they think that the situation will escalate. Their strength lie in massive battle cruisers, superior shield technology and highly effective energy supply through artifical stars. Their weaknesses are their lack of super-weapons, the youth of their empire , the losses from their war with the Drakodominatus Tyranny and the lack of colonies in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Sindar Dominion
The Sindar Dominion is a empire of medium-strength located in the Eagula Region of the Milky Way. Formerly very isolated and defensive, a recent political shift in the Dominion has reinvigorated their old expansionist ways and they are expanded and conquering local space at a rapid rate. Led by the enigmatic dictator Pius Corranis, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Vikul Federation
The Vikul Federation is a nation also located in the Eagula Region who is in conflict with the Sindar Dominion. The Federation is primarily corporate-ruled and were unprepared for all out battle.

Sago Kingdom
The Sago Kingdom's army is different, compared to most advanced empires. They use technologically advanced forms of old weapons, like bows, arrows, swords, and things of such nature. They do use vehicles, but they are also used for melee combat. They have specialized squads of combatants, such as Berserkers, who get lost in a battle trance. The leader of an army is the High-Templar. Their weaknesses are that they don't fare too well in far away combat, despite heavy armor. And the berserkers in a battle trance can be dangerous to both sides if they don't focus. However, when they are up close, they are a forced not to be reckoned with.

Monarchopod Coagulative Government
An Ecologist based empire, with somewhat unadvanced war technology, however, they are willing to fight any empire trying to corrupt or exploit the galaxy to the death. They got involved because while not directly allies, they are associated with the Drodo empire. MCG has great economic power however. They are fighting to preserve the galaxy and prevent permanant damage to it. They are located in the Milky-Way galaxy. However, in their weak state, they have decided it would be to their advantage to ally with the Hegemony.

Khilai Empire
The Khilai are a relatively young empire of 6800 star systems and a fleet of just over 80,500 space craft. the Khilai wear plate battle armour made from an icredibly robust alloy called Netorium which is created by placing several of the ores found on the planet under high pressure and then imediately exposing them to focused void energy (the Khilai's main power source), Many of the battleships and vehcles are also plated with Netorium alloy. The khilai's main strenth is in their emence forces of highly trained wariors and defence system.

Thérenian Dominion
The Thérenian Dominion is a somewhat old empire coming from the Unknown Regions of the Cyrannus Galaxy. Powerful and technologically advanced, the Dominion has the potential of being a major threat to most of the empires who comes to their way. Now led by a new empress, they have started to expand their empire after a century of observation. With Dominion fleets moving towards Milky Way, its only a matter of time before this two centuries old war-machine goes once again to battle.

=Prelude to War=

A Dilemma
It had been a rather tumultuous few weeks for the Drakodominatus Tyranny. They were involved in a full scale war with the DCP within the hyperspatial regions analogues Milky Way, sucking up all of their military forces in an almost impossible battle with the almighty DCP. This had come at the same time of the Beezlebub incident, where one of the Nightmares of Occult Ops nearly met his end on a planet in the Sindar Dominion. This was also coming at a time when first contacts with different species happened each day, and were the species were not crushed but spared. The Troodontid in Cyrannus, the Hegemony in Andromeda, among countless others were new empires the Tyranny did not know existed, and instead of crushing them, offered trade instead, giving the Tyranny such wonders as dark matter, netorium, and better shielding. The mindless expansions fleets, separate from the expeditionary force continued each day, subjugating countless worlds and increasing the domain of the Tyranny. However, the Tyranny wanted to subjugate these new empires at some point in time, but the War of Hyperspace did not leave enough men, and therefore, plan Plan MW2-XV66 was created.

Dinner Conversations
Grand Admiral Dialztreanvitz Raeditzkraft was sitting in his massive 90km Greater Demogorgon Class Leviathan and was surprised when he was visited by his wife who came all the way from installation 3, the Tyranny's most advanced and secretive mathematical institute. They both had dinner over the roasted bodies of other species, both sentient and non sentient, and talked about their work. The Grand Admiral was quick to talk about his plan for the subjugation of new Empires that had been seen by the Tyranny in the Xonexi Cluster, but complained about the futile war with the DCP which his compatriot had started, which had ridden him of the ability to do anything requiring multiple offensive fleets. His wife's work, having to do with mind bogglingly complex theoretical math on the proof of a topological conjecture also indicated some frustration. However, his wife razor sharp intellect and the cunning of a Dominatus female made her give an amendment to the plan. Now, the plan was to use the enemy empires as the offensive fleets, to slowly grind each other and themselves to death while giving the Tyranny money. They both stared openly into the stars for quite a while as they contemplated the new plan, version 66 of Plan Milky Way Urgency 2 XV.

Plan MW2-XV66
The Grand Admiral entered the conference room and ignited the summit between the Grand Admiralty, spread across all of the First Gigaquadrant. He told them of the plan which would secure even more dominance amongst the Tyranny. He told them of the main phases of the plan, which started with a framed war between the Drodo and the Hegemony which would later spiral out of control due to alliance systems involved. This was to be instigated by Veil Class Stealth Ships Mk2s who were in Hegemony Space and by the Terpeschoire Spy Network as well. This went in tandem with the creation of new fleets of robotic ships for an offensive campaign. Resources would be obtained by forcing reliance on Tyranny supplied weaponry such as combat harvesters on all the sides in the conflict as well as weaponry to combat the harvesters. The monopoly would mean that the Tyranny could charge exorbitant rates for all of this. The plan was then, when all the sides were weak for newly produced offensive fleets to launch an all out attack on the smaller powers as they would appear as the heroes and to subjugate countless empires. There were also smaller subcases for each empire. For example, the Tyranny would support the Vikul Federation against the Sindar and eventually use it's own might to crush the Voice's troops. The Khilai(if Kesh109 wants to join) would in their expansion be blacklisted among the other powers, and their later annihilation at the hands of the Tyranny would seem to be a heavenly occurrence. Moreover, all Tyranny supplied weaponry would still be master controlled by the Dominatus meaning incredible effectiveness. His plan met with unanimous applause even among the holographic representations of the Grand Admirals and he set his mind to it's implementation.

Waptoria Alliance of Species
On the planet Raptoranea, the capitol of the Waptoria Alliance, Commandant Oji'b entered the royal palace. The palace was decorated with flowers, moss, and plants were everywhere. Even some creatures had their nests there. He went straight to the meeting, with had a different feel from the rest of the palace. It was quite dark, with green gases and pink pillars of light illuminating the room. He bowed to an extremely beautiful, young Raptoranean. She was the Leader of the whole Alliance, Shelliand'r. While she was an empress, she didn't care about it, and was friendly as usual.


 * Shelliand'r - Hello, Oji'b.
 * Oji'b - You called me?
 * Shelliand'r - Yes. War is raging near our colonies in the Milky Way. As you know, our goal is to spread happiness to other empires. War disturbs this, and as such, must end.
 * Oji'b - So you want me to investigate it?
 * Shelliand'r - Indeed. I am a warrior, and could go by myself, but currently, with the hyperspace conflict against our ash-enemis, the Grox, and their followers, I have to stay here.
 * Oji'b - It seems the fun has ended. But all right, I will go.
 * Shelliand'r - Thanks. I knew I could count on you. Have a good day.
 * Oji'b - Same for you.

Oji'b left, prepared his plasma pistols, and ordered his fleet to go to the Milky Way.

The Black Hole
The Troodontid Empire did research on a super-massive black hole near their home system. Only with massive energy expenditure managed the spaceships to get away from it and to come back again. Suddenly one of the spaceships got too close to the Black Hole and was pulled inside. It was drwan through time and space and in the end arrived on the other side of the wormhole. It was an even bigger black hole. This black hole spit the Helios-Class Ship out and it was just out of reach of the insuperable pull of the black hole. It managed to leave the orbit of the black hole and found itself in another world. It wasn`t their home galaxy, not even near their home galaxy. The spaceship turned back and entered the orbit of the black hole again. The black hole pulled i inside and it safely travelled back to the rest of the exploration troop.

Exploration
Overview= President Draicon gives the Troodontid Empire the order to explore the alien world. They should make - if they existed - contact with as many intelligent lifeforms as possible and should try to find some allies. Nearly one third of the fleet and over seventhy percent of the scientist should be moved there. Apart from that would they constantly be supervised by the Senators Sirculus and Swargol. The exploration fleet left the planet the next day and arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy few hours later.

Dialogue=

President Draicon, as well as the Senators Sirculus and Swargol , meet Captain Velox from the Helios I , the ship that was pulled inside the wormhole.


 * President Draicon - You are completly sure, that it was another galaxy ?
 * Captain Velox - Yes, Sir , I am. The whole universe looked totally different from this position.
 * President Draicon - OK, then we need to explore this new galaxy. And we have to find out if it is possible to colonize it.
 * Senator Sirculus - Maybe there are even other sapient species. We definitly have to make contact with them. Who knows, maybe we even find some allies.
 * President Draicon - Great idea, Senator. So, you have new orders: You will take some of our spaceships and get to hat galaxy. There you explore as much as possible. But make sure that you are always radio contact to prevent begin lost. Apart from that you will make contact with every sapient species you meet and try to convince them to ally with us. But if they attack you don`t shy away from shooting back. I think some of the government should come with you , too. I think I will come with you to keep a watch on the progress of the mission
 * Senator Swargol - I agree with nearly everthing you said, but in my opinion it is far too dangerous for you to come withe the exploration fleet because they could be atacked or - in the worst case- destroyed. Then we would have no leader anymore. Instead I would recommend to send Sirculus and me instead.
 * President Draicon -  So be it. But make sure that you notify me about every cognition.

The Hegemony
Marius was fuming. In the long history of the Hegemony, no one had ever dared to penetrate their restricted territory. "The Drodo have a lot to answer for" he muttered to himself. "Ulrac, prep the fleet, we have a meeting with the Drodo goverment.

"Sir?"

"You heard me, we head to the Milky Way!"

All through out the Hegemony's territory, fleets moblized, factories worked to produce weapons of war, soldier preped for combat. A storm was about to burst.

Khilai Empire
Comunication and ministry of defence Building: 0900 hours Planet Xavous.

"Sir, I've got several unknowns on the feild sensors. Their coming in fast. They look like ships but not ours!"

The young khilai monitor turned away from the array of screens and flashing lights toward his superior, a worried look on his face.

"Tell me? How many is several?" said Kaz, an experienced military commander and leader of the K.M.E.G. military force.

"Thats the problem sir. Because the ships or what ever they are are so thinly spread and use different signals the machine loses accuracy!" said the monitor.

"Thats not a number! I need facts to run this opperation!"

Kaz gased out across the room at the rows of faces. In them he saw concern and fear.

"Please." He said in a less harsh tone. "I need the digits."

"The scanners glitch out when the count gets to over a million, sir." said the head monitor.

Now the commander was worried. "Just what is going on here." he muttered under his breath."whatever it is it's involving us and its not going to be anyones picnic." He turned and walked away from the comunications room his brow furrowing.

Sindar Dominion
It was on Logus, a clear and sunny morning, The Voice stood atop his palace balcony, looking over the grand city of Basut and the enormous crowd that had amassed 70 stories below him, waiting for him to speak.

The Voice, who had now taken the guise of 'Pius Corranis' stood on the balcony, clothed in a light gold breastplate, covered in carvings and intricate designs with a flowing red robe wrapped loosely around his waist, ending just before his knees. His graying black hair blowing comfortably in the light breeze.

"Citizens of the Dominion" he spoke, his lips parting softly and slowly as he did, giving him the appearance of a benevolent father, yearning to love and protect. the crowds died down to a mere hum as all 6 Million Sindar crowded outside the palace looked to him as he spoke.

"Today is a red letter day for the Dominion."

"Today, we strike at the heart of corruption in our very neighborhoods."

"Today, we take what is ours."

pausing briefly, he looks at the crowd, his eyes grazing over his eager people peacefully. he swallows hard, and looks back up to the microphone again.

"The Vikul have tainted the Eagle Nebula for as long as the stars have shone."

"They lie, they seek to control us, to damper our rightful reign over this universe."

"They threaten our very existence as a people." people in the crowd begin nodding in agreement, or turning to their friends and saying their agreements.

"We can not allow ourselves to be shut out by them,"

"We are the rulers of the cosmos, it is our birthright!"

The crowd cheers back in excitement. Pius smiles, they are playing right into his hands. He knows how to please a crowd.

"On this day, a red letter day, we take the fight to them!"

"We are superior!" The crowd roars in absolute agreement and excitement, and clap and stamp their feet, shaking the massive courtyard. As they do, loud engine noises are heard above, as hundreds of enormous Sindar Cruisers fly over the palace and city, causing even more of an uproar. Pius throws his hands up to the skies, motioning towards the ships.

"Today, we fight back!" he shouts into the microphone.

Vikul Federation
In the home system of the Vikul, the Vikul watched closely for Sindar attack ships, ready to defend at any moment. All of a sudden a hyperspace window was opened in the system, but instead of a fleet of Sindar warships, they were greeted with a 30km long battleship escorted by several 15km ships. They quickly got into orbit around the Vikul homeworld and opened a communication channel to the capitol.

"Hail Vikul, we are the Drakodominatus Tyranny, and we believe we both want the same thing"

An uneasy reply came from the planet, curious for answers. "Hail. Why is it you have come to our home?"

"We have come to help you defeat the Sindar"

"Why would you help us?" "What do you want to gain from it?"

At that, Beezlebub teleported to the surface, in front of the Vikul President His massive descended 10 meter form towered over the Vikul "Because i take issue with their existence"

The Vikul man sized him up slowly, taking note of his dangerous appearance. "I see." "What would you have us do?"

"Merely take our aid"

"For land combat we will give you hundreds of these combat harvesters" he says, gesturing to a shipment he had just sent down

"I will inform my subordinates" he said, gazing over the shipment of battle machines.

"and we will also send Gluonic weaponry to your ships"

"We appreciate all your aid"

"These will all be under your jurisdiction "and we will give you battlestations to assist in the defense of your worlds"

"I thank you."

"Our only demand is that you make the Sindar suffer"

"We will, I swear it on my life." "And the lives of my people"

USF
For the third time in a year, the Senate was a stir, a new record was thought Aranelia Brinal, the Great Senator, as he looked crestfallen air to senators from each of the star systems of the Federation. All, with the exception of Aranelia, were angry or mad.

Perhaps everything has begun the previous day, the week was met for the disappearance of the hypersapce Vankalian and courage of the soldiers and senators were on the floor. But what put the Senate in that state was possibly the unexpected news that their probes were reported, apparently understudied powerful empire of the Hegemony had been invaded by a probe Drodo. Which fireza reacted with this empire.

Now it was time to decide how to act, support Drodo mean entering into a direct war without the greatest warrior of the Federation available, but remain neutral break the alliance with the Drodo.

Aranelia- Order! Order! I think the answer is clear, we do not fear war, but to fight without our best weapons and men, we get a Great General interim, that replaces a Vankalian until you return.

Senator- Her ladyship is right, but who? Afnai is next in command and finds Vankalian

Aranelia- So that is next to Afnai, Commander Edelmut ...

The Senate was silent, Aranelia could not be serious, Edelmut not the kind of man you'd call if you are in danger of war, the commander Edelmut was undisciplined, dangerous, unreliable when fighting. Since they had escaped their home universe, Edelmut he spent in his small private fortress, a terraformed asteroid, studying the properties of the Essence. As they say, the brother of Vankalian, Zatock Zein, was trained in these arts especially.

Aranelia- If there is no opposition, act now, call Edelmut, we need him.

And while the Senate was emptied, Aranelia hissed

Aranelia- Why whenever a calamity occurs Vankalian not appear.

Thérenian Dominion
Dominion fleets were massing near a wormhole that would take them to Milky Way. Hundreds of ships all equipped with the most destructive weaponry that Dominion has to offer were preparing for the journey, as more and more Dominion ships joined the group. Aboard the bridge of Degraded Mind, Grand Admiral La'isran spoke with other admirals.

La'isran - You have your orders. Now go and bring glory to Dominion.

Admiral - Yes, my lord. Would you want to address the fleets?

La'isran - I will.

At that La'isran hailed the fleets and gave one last speech before they departed for Milky Way.

La'isran - '''This is the Grand Admiral speaking. I want you to know that we are doing this for the Dominion, for our people. To bring our people to greatness. To make others know our name, and to make them fear it. Don't do this for personal glory. No, do this for the glory of the Dominion! When future generations speak of this moment, they will remember your valiant deeds. They will always remember how you gave your lives to the Dominion. And they will always know how you brought glory to our people! Men, you are backbone of the Dominion. You are those who built it and those who have carried it here. And now you will carry it further! You will take it to new heights and bring it where it has never been! Now go and bring glory to our people! For the Dominion!'''

As the speech ended, the Dominion fleets entered the wormhole and began their journey to Milky Way. La'isran was sitting on his bridge watching as his ship entered the wormhole. Thérenian Dominion had began their expansion.

=The First Moves=

The Octopus of the Milky Way
The Terpeschoire spy network was a network that was unknown to all except their Dominatus masters. Made of the Terpeschoire, a race of hermaphroditic and physically feeble shapeshifters, the Tyranny had infiltrated most civilizations in the Milky Way with their spies while the host civilizations thought that they were safe. Theses spies had infiltrated the higher echelons of command, commerce, and many things and lay there, silent and dormant, waiting to be activated. Here, there, and everywhere the were, in every element of society, blending in perfectly with the other members of the civilizations, and ready to strike at any given time.

Security Breach
Marius was back at the capital of the Hegemony. Just a few hours ago, he had been battling the Drakdominatus. Though the battle was over, Marius sensed the Tyranny was not as benevolent as they seemed.

"Welcome home commander, glad to see your in one piece" a worker at a nearby space station said.

The ship docked at a nearby orbital platform, not noticing the small ship trailing it.

This was the most prototype of all the dominatus stealth ships, sent on this as a special exercise by the grand admiral.As a combat ship, it was worse than useless . However as a stealthship it was incredible.

It had been a tough battle. Who knew that whoever they were fighting had a 90km ship. "Well, better clear the rubble out of that colony"

The ship that he could not see edged closer to the planet. The completely automated stealthship, continued transmitting data. It had already attached prootype stealth probes onto the ground and on differing hegemony ships

The grand admiral looked from his flagship. "This would be very good for future diplomatic issues"

Marius had a nagging feeling that the tyranny had not left him alone. He gazed out a window on the station and noticed something. A small blurring in the stars "What the hell is that?" The ship noticed one of it's probes was noticed and it instantly put it in coverup mode. To all but the most elite observers it would have appeared like nothing. But Marius, Marius was suspicious.

"Trace wherever that disturbance came from"

The tracing signals were sent. The ship itself was not detected, nor the other probes.

However it did detect a weird signature on one of the Hegemony ships which had entered hyperspace. He knew the mysterious object was there

"Whatever it is, it isn't friendly, trace it to its source and blow it to shreds"

At that, the stealthship entered it's most devilish protocol, the customized one time pad non euclidean encryption It effectively changed every single femtoscale particle on the path from the probe to the ship and gave it the signatures that matched the Drodo. "Sir, it says that's a Drodo ship!" a nearby soldier said

"I don't care if its registered to the DCP, no one has found our homeworld yet, no one is leaving to report it"

"Blow it up!"

The probe entered a protocol and transmitted this to drodo space in the form of an anomaly with an unlogged and lost drodo exploration ship.

"Charge weapons!"

"Fire!" The probe blew up and was deemed wreckage in space

"Hope that was expensive!" The quantum replicators had at last reconfigured the probe to a Drodo design

"The Drodo have a lot of explaning to do" Marius said.

Contacting the Commander
Aranelia descended from his private ship, Transport Vectorn in the hangar Crux system, a star system located within the confines of the Milky Way. The hangar was located on a terraformed asteroid named Xi 4-02, where studies were conducted on the Essence. Xi 4-02 was Edelmut's home since the Federation had come to the Milky Way, where he had been held for several months.

Once in the structure, Aranelia was accompanied by her guards at the deepest level of the residential building, which is supposed to live Edelmut. Once there Aranelia looked the place, a long hallway lit by a silvery little floating spheres of light at the end of it, a door dark cold plasma could not see what the room would Edelmut. Aranelia placed his hand on the fingerprint scanner at the door and announced:

Aranelia- Aranelia Brinal, Great Senator, permission to pass.

A metallic voice clearly said Permission granted, welcome her ladyship, and Aranelia entered into the room. In the center of the room was Edelmut sitting with legs crossed and eyes closed, apparently meditating. When he opened his eyes the room temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees and Aranelia was able to see those eyes silvery white iris with golden lines crossed by the Great Senator then remembered the boy she had known for several years, the same boy that now saw before her.

Edelmut- Aranelia, is an honor that the Great Senator of the United Federation of Species is visiting me in my humble abode ... If I had known I would have settled a bit.

The commander's voice sounded full of indifference and apathy.

Aranelia- Edelmut, time no see you, how you've spent the last few months?

Edelmut- You know as well as I do that you do not mind Aranelia, if I am right, you want my help as commander or fighter, which don't want to do.

Aranelia- Edelmut, you have a role, a duty to do for the Federation

Edelmut- Duty imposed on me for no reason

Aranelia- You were given one of the highest honors possible

Edelmut- Honor that I never wanted

Aranelia- Vankalian is not Edelmut, we need you in front of an imminent war, the Federation needs you, the Senate needs you, I need you...

Edelmut looked Aranelia eyes, looked sad, his eyes showed a total desolation, he sighed.

Edelmut- Okay, I will help, but on one condition, I want to relieve from office at the end of the conflict.

Aranelia- If you want, you will be granted

Edelmut- And another thing, when you find Vankalian, give him a slap for me, he never is here when we need him.
