As Paul Paul ran from the room, despite not being invited to do so, Kane's companion rose and followed him out of the room - eager also to establish the proposed trading station. Kane continued without a second glance to his companion and addressed Behar, "The IDP will gladly hear your request. We are eager to take part in a venture that requires the co-operation of our neighbours." |

The Elarian council all began to give a harsh glare at Isaac before whispering quietly amongst themselves. "Perhaps we should just get to the point before *Isaac* implies anymore unintended insults..." Behar said in frustration at the leaving of the Prototopian delegate. "Some here seem to insinuate that Baltas is the only star system colonized by humans in the entirety of the Milky way galaxy, and that it is those very humans that pose the greatest threat," Behar began, clearly looking Isaac square in the eye with a severe look before glancing at the other delegates, "But to point out a fact, it is not. As you all well know, Legion, a quaternion star system, has been home to Humans for quite some time. Our Home world, Auglu Darzh, once shared ample trade with Constantia, the Home world of the colonies in Legion Alpha. But it has been five years since a single ship has come from the system, and all broadcasts we have been able to detect emanating from Legion seems to indicate they have abandoned us due to the simple fact that they have twelve times more resources there, than we do here. The close proximity between their quaternary star system and the planets that reside there make it far more easier to mine the abundant resources, and in great quantity with expedience. Just a week ago we intercepted a message, not even intended for us, that seems to suggest they are making breakthroughs on Force Shield technologies. Something our own world has fallen back on for the past decade. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Baltas system, the time has come to put our differences aside. Rather than destroying ourselves and letting our callous neighbor from beyond merely await for that day to come so they can plunder our home world, let us unite, and compete with our true adversaries. We should not be spend what resources we have on building 'impressive' warships and weapons that kill when we are slowly sliding into decay and stagnation, blinded by pride, arrogance and greed, let us turn our focus to using what resources we have to gain even more resources. It is the only way to remain competitive. The IDP can continue their observations on how societies develop, the Esternarxians revenues will go up due to extra trade, the Quaonians can build their warships, the Flumesians can use the materials for research, Elaria may rest content that this planet is once again in the competition, and, if Prototopia comes back to the fold, they may benefit and nourish their peaceful society. This, is the primary reason why I called you all here today. And with Prototopia now *gone*," Behar looking harshly once again at Isaac, "We may have suffered a severe blow in proceeding with this imperative task. Like it or not, we are falling far behind those in Legion, and if we sit back, squabble and do nothing about it, we WILL be crushed." OOC: Legion system is almost done, and I already know of a few people with some respectably powerful nations waiting to be plopped down there. |

Scrote looked around the room for someone to speak, when no one made a move he stood slowly and began to speak. "While commerce over research is and will always be Flumes first priority, the Elarian speaks the truth. Numerous companies in Flumes already conduct research in these matters, and with riches promised by international cooperation, it will be easy to convince enough to do the same. Flumes is willing to move forward with such a massive project so long as we have international backing. This will not work unless it is a joint-nation project." OOC: ED, wanted to see how this got going, now that I see it is going well, I would like to put another nation in the Legion System when it is complete if that is allowed... It would be Expansionist Colombia on NS, and The Calvaar Republic for these purposes... Thanks... |

In indignation, Isaac glared at the Elarian. "It's not my fault that that Prot* went insane at the word 'war'. For God's sake, I didn't even mention conflict! A warship can be used for colonization purposes, you know!" Regaining his "composure", if one could call it that, he continued: "But, anyway, yes, New Quaon would be interested in your organization." |

OOC: Its permitted. IC: Behar almost shrugged, but restrained himself in the arrogance of the Quaonian. He instead, turned to face the IDP Delegate, and awaited a reply. |

Obediah nodded his ascent. While sociology was not the primary aim of the IDP, he saw no reason to correct his host at this time. "Resource aquisition is the IDPs primary goal here. Your aims and ours are identical. You have our full support." |

Behar smiled and nodded at Yanich, whom began to speak with a deep, stern voice; "I am pleased to see cooperative engagement in this proposal. Unfortunately, I have a feeling all of our moods will be shifted once you hear exactly what our scientists have proposed." Yanich waved his hand towards the jeweled golden seal in the center of the table, and before them it was brought to life in a myriad of dancing colors; A hologram model of a star system, certainly not Baltas nor Legion. "This is Arancione, one of the more rare *A* class stars in our area. The star is 200 times more luminous and 12 times the diameter of our own star, Baltas. In a few days time, it radiates more energy than our star does in over a year. It is also a relatively young star, and is metal rich." Yanich made obscure hand gestures towards the seal, and the hologram blew up in astonishing size, shooting to the ceiling and taking up the entire width of the table, the Star grew larger. It took no time at all for the delegates to realize that the hologram was demonstrating a Solar system, and indeed, the hologram simulated the planets that orbited the powerful star. "When our scientists were greeted with the realization that we simply cannot mine the amount of resources required here, in this system, either efficiently or in the quantity needed without doing irreversible damage to the planets and moons. So, we turned to looking for metal-rich stars that were not inhabited. The only resourceful candidate that is close enough to manipulate, is the Arancione system. We have long known of the two Jovian planets and one smaller rocky body, but since new observations have been launched, we have also discovered moons of significant mass and size to make both good outpost locations and mining sites." Councilor Kyros spoke next; "An alternative option would be the Pelican system, but Pelican has much less to offer in terms of resources for only a somewhat shorter travel distance, and would be causing planetary damage a potentially terraformable planet. Either star we choose, we will need a substantially large, or a substantial number, of cargo ships to carry the goods such long distances. If we go with large vessels, we are talking a scale 50% larger than a Siege Battlevessel, excluding all weapons, maintenance facilities and optimized fully for storage capacity. To transport that kind of a full cargo load round-trip between either system would require seven times the amount of anti-matter all of Elaria makes in a year. Fortunately, if we are to work together, anti-matter shouldn't be as large a problem for nations with more land mass and facilities to produce it. Moreover, the Esternarxians have an impressive trade fleet, which could assist in both establishing the outposts and returning the goods back to the Baltas system. They'll certainly want pay, but as so long as it is within reasonable bounds, I see no problem with letting them have their coin. This project will undoubtedly be one of the most expensive in the history of this planet, that is why we are willing to pay 50% of the expenses for the first year, before we divide up the costs equally afterwards. If Elaria's public coffers, in the unlikely event go under, I will offer my own personal money to fund the project." A short pause gripped the room, as the hologram shut off. But an Elarian councilor broke the silence with a closing statement; "If you do not like this proposal, the only two other alternatives is to mine our own planet and moons to their destruction, or pretend this meeting never took place. If you choose the latter, Elaria will only need to sit back and await for the Armies of Constantia to come to this planet to conquer it to prove her point. But by then, it will be too late. Make your decisions now, and make the right one. We won't have another chance at this, our window is good as so long as the Empires in Legion do not catch wind of our plan." |

OOC: Auglu Darzh map updated to reflect the removal request of Chirondom. Nation of Quaon unaffected. Legion A system, for all intents and purposes, is completed. Moons will be added to the planetary charts for said system later, Constantia has moons already included. Map of Constantia is also up withe one nation on the board. Unfortunately, no topography map -- yet. |

Can you place my country, Typhon, on Typhon on Auglu Darzh. Question: Are the humans of these planets aware they are not native to these planets and came here from somewhere else? |

OOC: Map updated. Typhon now on the map. As for your question, that's quite an interesting thought open to interpretation. Seeing as how these planets were inhabited for at least some time, there could be many theories. Some individuals could postulate they were natives of the planet, others could say they had origins elsewhere, etc. |

Elsewhere in the universe "South my friends, first south. Then east against the infidels," he spoke with his divine and melodious voice. The Domnitor's face and body barely moved as he spoke, but when he did move, every movement was pefectly beautiful and graceful. His long flowing old robes were ornately deocrated with every color, and they seemed to meld with him and with the surrounding room. The Domnitor seemed to absorb and encompass everything around him, as if he was truely manifesting the glory of Ristu on Constantia. He sat on an elevated throne so the council table was at his feet. Sitting around it sat the Hierophants, the leading clergy of the world. Each one of these had been chosen by the Domnitor, and they often represented the Faithful of various lands, both those within the Imperium, and those in rebellion. Together they served the Domnitor, lightly easing his monstrous burden, the rulership of the entire universe. Hierophant Refosun nodded. "Yes, gracious lord. The south is weak. The easterners will fight but eventually they will break before our glorious Black Legion." Each Hierophant was dressed in robes black as void of space. Their table was black too. It was an astounding contrast between the night of the Hierophant's robes and the gorgeous shining images that decorated the Domnitor and the rest of the Antionia fortress. Every inch was sublime, the most richly decorated place on Constantia, and possibly in the whole universe. "The Maul would allow us to protect the waterway into the Citadel" said Hierophant Syrax. The ingeniousness of the Domnitor's plans were obvious to all in the room. It certainly was not a question that he might ever be wrong. That was why he rarely spoke. He usually heard the Hierophants speak, and then pronounced on the Truth of the matter. "It is settled," spoke his sonorous voice, "Seven Armies of the Black Legion shall be sent South to secure Maul. A major force will be sent east, as necessary." The next day, two transmissions were sent to Calvaar and Novados. Flashing on the screens were the image of a burned city and the following text: "Swear fealty to the Domnitor and recognize him as the master of all living things, and accept the Holy Rites, or be evaporated." |

Novadosi reply to Constantine ultimatum; "Novados is a sovereign entity on the planet of Constantia, any attempt to penetrate our borders will be met with maximum deadly force, including, but not limited to, retaliation with Anti-matter weapons and warheads. Desist and withdraw your aggressive statements, or prepare to taste our venom. Death take us all or no, we will not go down quietly to the forces of tyranny and oppression." |

In the Antonia Fortress, a silent Hierophant held up two fingers on his left hand and shook his head. The Domnitor nodded barely perceptably. The Hierophant then left the room, leaving the majestic and sublime Domnitor to comtemplate the rulership of all life. |

"We see great opportunity in this proposal. A great chance for the economy to further flourish... The Flumesian government pledges to do our best recruiting companies to the cause, but once again we cannot make guarentees, and we would feel much better if multiple nations were involved in this cause." He paused, and glanced down at his watch. "It is time that I meet with Paul Paul about our proposal, thank you for your time gentlemen, if I am needed anymore, please contact one of my associates. Good Day." With that he folded his briefcase, and walked out of the room. Upon leaving the room, he was directed to a room where Mr. Paul Paul sat... "Hello again Mr. Paul Paul." |
