Sol System
Grand Ball

Magdalena recovered quickly from her previous surprise, nodding as the Ravenlock representative that called himself Jon Cameron spoke. His first words did not need to be answered directly, and so she did not. Nonetheless, it was clear that her attention was indeed upon him, more so than he could imagine. Inwardly, her mind sought to correlate the Jon Cameron before her with the one she knew. Sadly, although by virtue of being a telepath her memory was excellent she could not easily make the comparison. It would have to wait. Her eyes drifted towards Mr. Blakely as he stood at attention and then walked off at a brisk pace, her eyes returning to Mr. Cameron a moment later.

She was silent as her guest spoke once more, her escorts aware of her thoughts and showing relatively blank expressions. There was little hesitation in offering a reply. “I will do what I can to make such a meeting possible Mr. Cameron. Although at the moment, I cannot give any specifics on when that meeting will take place.” She still had a bit of work to do, but in the interest of the Ravenlock-Veithan relationship, she would do what she could to make sure that this meeting the Ravenlock representative desired took place.

An eyebrow arched as one of her escorts whispered to her mind that the representative for the Grand Empire had arrived. Her head turned and eventually discovered the heir as he walked towards the Monacoran representatives. It took moments for words to be exchanged, and then the heir approached as she had expected he would. She would have approached him, but it would have been impolite to have done so when he had been engaged in conversation with the hosts of this party. Her head turned for a moment, glancing towards Mr. Cameron and excused herself for a moment. She was surprised, not so much by the Grand Empire’s heir presence as the honor that she had been approached so quickly after the Monacoran exchanges. She was also pleased at the familiarity involved, her head bowed before him for a moment before she answered. “The greetings of the Empress are always held in high regard by my people, Crown Prince.” She waited for a moment before touching upon the second point which he had brought up. “Yes, we are thrilled that this is the case. It is our hope that ties that bind our people will only get stronger as time goes on.” She paused, her eyes glancing about the floor and the discussions therein. “You missed several exchanges, but I would not go as far as consider them “fun” your highness.”

She blinked for a moment then, reminding herself that the Ravenlock representative should be introduced to the Grand Empire representative and vice versa. “Crown Prince, allow me to introduce the representative of the Ravenlock Consortium.” She took a step to the side, allowing both the named parties to more clearly see the other.

The Ouster fleet fell on the ten cruisers. Without escorts, outgunned by the two Hajr supercapital vessels, the ships were butchered ruthlessly. Having dealt with the annoyance of the Krynor reinforcements, the Ouster ships began the bombardment of Camaro. EMP bombs exploded over major cities, frying the equipment of the Jaffa soldiers, turning the cities into disaster regions as brown outs rolled. Precision strikes lashed out, tracking enemy targetting sensors back to their sources. Defense guns exploded spectacularly as megaton-range laser cannon picked them from the ground. The enemy's massive reinforcements would be arriving over the next day, but they would find the world firmly in the hands of the Hajr's soldiers.

The Ragman stood alone in Shade. After viewing the current war that these metal magicians fought, he was having second thoughts about pushing the Lady into the open. It mattered little. If attacked, the Castle had number defenses, and if the Castle was taken, he could easily slip back in using one of numerous secret passages. A grin crossed his face. Besides, he snickered, The Ivory Lady might be in need of replacing some time soon.[/i]

Adar Krell stepped forward. "My Goa'uld friend, I do not doubt that you are being too hasty in this declaration of war. But if that is what you wish, so be it. However, should you wish it, the services of the Combine will not be available to you. You have proven yourself to be pointlessly beligerent, and any contract you would negotiatie with us would only lead to the destruction of Combine fleets without any hope of victory. That being said," he turned to the Arcane and Ouster representatives, "the Combine forces are available to anyone else who would wish to purchase them. Please contact Faran Tor after he has sobered up."

Artus strode up to Adar Krell and looked him in the eye.

"The agreement we made- I'm calling it in to effect right now. That means you don't sell anything to our enemies in this, and 1 3rd of your fleet is assisting us. The rewards will be- substantial."

You have violated the terms of the treaty of Alpha Prime. You may expect genocide very soon.

Emir sat by the side, calmly watching events unfold, when Adar Krell approached him and pulled him aside. There was a quick exchange, and Emir headed quickly towards the door, signalling a guard.

"Quick, I need you to direct me to the nearest long-range trasmitter. Now. It's important." The guard nodded and sent Emir off through the palace as quick as he could.

Five minutes later, Emir sent two messages, one to the Nexus and one to Sirius. Ships that had been placed on standby sprung to life, and half an hour after the Ouster had approached the Krell Naval leader, a fleet left orbit around Sirius for Sparta.

Combine fleet:
3 Titans
9 walls
11 lances
10 carriers
35 missile escorts
100 blue collars
60 harleys

The Krynor Empire is beginning a program of peacefull expansion through colinies. Towards this end, we will need significat terraforming and cargo-carrying capacity that we do not currently posess. We are looking for nations that maybe be interested in contract work. All interesting parties should send a represntitive to the Sparta system in two days time.

Camaro System
Edge of Known Space

Bondwoman Private Frija su Candaris was strapped in to her crash-seat. She could hear the clanging as the troopship's bay doors opened, and the tell-tale THUNK as the explosive bolts threw the small craft free of it's large mothership. Around her, the other hundred men and women of her unit sat, going through the various small rituals the elite Marine First Drop soldiers did before landing on an enemy-held world. Her only peice of joy was that they had local space superiority, so she would have the advantage of on-call orbital fire support during the drop- the second an enemy defensive gun opened fire, the one of the fighters mixed in with the dropship squadron would be able to lash out and destroy it.

She cradled her Fletcher in her armored paws. The weapon's sleek, dark-grey finish was a bit of a comfort. She heard the enemy used some sort of staff-weapon, quite a useless shoulder-weapon compared to her fully automatic killing device.

Outside, the vulturelike forms of thousands of dropships fell towards the planet, their engines firing randomly, jinking to avoid any return fire. Ahead, she could see the target- one of Camaro's northern cities, already pasted heavily with EMP rounds and orbital fire. The inferno could be easily seen from orbit. Her loot's voice rang out over the command channel- "Time to dirtside, twelve seconds! Everyone ready." She gritted her teeth.

5...4...3...2...

GO, GO, GO!

The invasion of Camaro had begun.

Thirdfain wrote:"Lord Basil." She said, extending a long-fingered, pale hand. "I am Elanie su Madrighala, Boundwoman of the Hajr. I don't believe I have ever met a blood lord. I suppose, in many respects, you and I are alike."

Basil smiled, "Perhaps more than you know, my lady."

He shook her hand; she noted that not only was his appendage quite cool, but she also felt some hairs growing on the palm. This was, she recalled vaguely, part of ancient vampire lore... and probably not related to the other legend of such hair growth.

"I recognize your scent, Boundwoman," he continued, "the perfume you wear cannot hide it from me. You have the smell of blood about you."

She raised an eyebrow, "I don't know what you mean."

"I have been called 'the red-handed' long enough to know how to spot my kind. The way you move, look at people, smile--and especially the way your thoughts twist and defy any effort to read them. You are a well trained killer," Basil said.

"Perhaps that is your impression of me," she said, affecting a slightly offended tone, "but I can't speak for it's veracity."

Elanie noted with concern that there was a slight quaver in her voice. Her heart-rate had accelerated slightly, and she felt flushed. Something went wrong with her when the vampire looked at her. It had to be pheromones, or telepathy, or perhaps both. His eyes seemed to pierce her soul.

Abruptly the feeling of nakedness disappeared, and his eyes that had been like razors a moment ago dulled to a more comfortable level, "If that is the truth, I apologize. What was your impression of the mage that you danced with?"

"He is a psionicist."

"Whichever," Basil waved a hand contemptuously, "it matters little. That which separates a vampire lord from a mage or psionicist or is two-fold. First, a mage is weak in body, likely weaker than a dhampir."

"Dhampir?" she asked.

"The son of a vampire lord. Female members of our race are sterile, thus any son of a vampire will be half-human. They are like humans but more physically powerful," he clarified, "but compared to a vampire lord they are very little. Like a mage's body. Thus it is possible to defeat a mage with judicious application of a knife. There is no such possibility with me."

She put in conversationally, "Isn't there a legend... a wooden stake to the heart?"

"Amusing. That would render a newly-turned vampire unconscious, though to kill him or her you would have to then behead him. For me, the physical body that you see is a mere finger of my totality. If it is destroyed, I can remake it at will," Basil replied, "my true form is in shadow."

"Interesting. And the second factor which separates you from the mages?"

"Perspective. I am dead... and my continued existence depends upon the continual death of others."

"This is a rather... deep conversation to engage in at a gala."

"Indeed," he said, "it is out of courtesy that I speak to you thus, assassin. You may inform your superiors of what I said, they will make of it what they will. All the rulers of my people are like me."

ooc: sorry for the lag in response, I had to sleep and do working things... etc.

A major, marked with tags of the medical branch of the army, rushed into the Ball Room, and handed a packet to the Prince. The Prince took his time looking over the documents, then calling over Drevail he had a conversation in hushed whispered tones. Then the Prince turned towards the Medic.

"So you are sure that they are the second wave of infiltrators?"
"Yes my Prince."
"You showed this to the State Department?"
"Yes my Prince, they said you make the call."
"... Then... for the sake of humanity... we must declare war apon the Empire of Krynor. The Peace of Terra will cover you, and we will allow you to leave the planet within the next twenty four hours unharmed. "

Drevail meanwhile had rushed over to the Ouster delegation.

"We can get ten Marine Regiments and Thirty Army Regiments on the ground in camaro in thenext five hours. Would you be willing to let us land?"

"Hello, welcome to Earth. We are elated to greet a new space-faring nation. You have also come at a most fortunate time, because if you were to land on Earth now you would be able to meet more leaders of Nations now, then you may ever get the chance to meet in one room ever again."

A light distroyer and two fighters dropped out of the bottom of the Carrier and wated for clearance.

Veithan Space
Malaya III, Veithan Diplomatic Office

The arrival of the diplomatic message by the Krynnor Republic was met with surprise until it was read, and then it was met with skepticism. The Veithan Empire possessed a wide variety of companies private or otherwise that were more than capable of fulfilling the needs of the Krynnor. Nonetheless, the Krynnor were a known quantity in the galaxy as of late and most of what was known was not good. They were believed responsible for the arming of insurgents in Covenant occupied space. The Arcane Empire was believed to wish war upon them, and their peculiar methods of reproduction had been the topic of a handful of VNN newscasts. It took a mere ten minutes for the Veithan diplomatic office to come to its conclusion.

~~~~

To: Krynnor Republic
From: Veithan Diplomatic Office
Subj: Peaceful Expansion

The Veithan Empire is unwilling to offer direct assistance to the Krynnor Republic as it peacefully expands. The Veithan government will not assist you, however you are more than welcome to approach any Veithan based private corporations and trying your luck in that manner.

~~~~

The message was sent through the usual means, the diplomatic office making it a point to get in contact with various CEO’s of private corporations. There was little need to do so, but their orders were clear. Veitha did not wish success to the Krynnor Republic and it would take steps to make sure that it would find no assistance in Veithan space. The diplomatic office did not have to work very hard…

One of those two times it was against our nation. And a treaty has just been signed by them that would serve to deny them colonization rights. They broke the treaty, and we are obligated to kill them.

Karsus sent a meessage to a now very pissed off Astinius and informed him of the situation.

Then he sent a message to the "Atlantians" via an illusion spell.

"Greetings, in the name of the Arcane Empire, we send our salutations. We hope that our people can get along more peacefully than we have with the goa'uld mind parasites. "

"Mistresses," A low, raspy voice is heard, "I believe there is some sort of ball that delegates from the alien magics are all attending. Perhaps you should send your own delegate."

"Thank you for your information Ragman, i shall do what i can."

With that, the Ivory Lady sent an easy to translate message:

"We are the Vykos. We wish to make peaceful contatct."

---------------------

On various planets Marine Transports were rushed into space and started on their way to a rally point where they would meet the rest of the landing force. Things were rush loaded, while the Marines could land quickly, and drive pure and utter terror into the hearts of their opponents the Army took its time and instead drove pure and utter terror into the hearts of Generals. Soon though, soon almost a hundred regiments would be ready to land where the high command decided to send them.

Drevail meanwhile had rushed over to the Ouster delegation.

"We can get ten Marine Regiments and Thirty Army Regiments on the ground in camaro in thenext five hours. Would you be willing to let us land?"

A shuttle flew down from orbit. In minutes, a representative of the Hajr's navy had joined the group. He heard out the Monacoran request.
"Absolutly- but we have other needs for your forces. We'll discuss that later. Anything you send to Camaro, we will support."

After hearing what the Krynorans had tried to do, to say the emperor was pissed would be the understatement of the year.

He approached the political prince.

"Do you have somewhere I can go to get a secure message to my government? We have snakes to grind into bone meal"

"Thank you terrestrial bipeds"

The distroyer acting as a shuttle eased its self out from under the carrier as the fighter escort broke away. A moment later the Dimensional flux drive flaired to life and made mad furious love to the time space continuum, transporting it to a high earth orbit nearly instantly.

"Please transmit landing coordinants and we will begin our decent."
