Captain KC''Well, we have some of the more common fish such as tuna, salmon, and stuff in the system. Our food is replicated on the ship. with 10,000 people manning the ship, you can't have too many fresh foods, though, since it's a short trip, we might have some. I'll have to check. Fish just isn't a major food for us either.'' ''Anyway, if you'll come with me, I'll show you to the VIP cabins. It has as good a view as you can get in space. You might end up with one of the better views depending on how we coming into the Haroma System.'' I headed toward the airlock into the Bridge Corridor. I expect that she'll be following me. Sarya was a bit disappointed, as she thought the Aneans might have some weird and fascinating kinds of fishes, being from Space and all that stuff... Maybe even fishes with 2 heads and bigger than a person ? Still, a delicious piece of salmon would do the job, that is of course, until she could find a giant fish of some kind. As she moved to follow the Anean, FREYA connected again to the Pilot-VI and the Coralis took flight, to go back at Suikodan. As they both entered the ship, Sarya thought she heard some voices coming from a nearby air vent of some sort, but it was probably just her imagination... something about wolves ? Anyways, Sarya was very interested in the design of the ship. She wondered how it could fly, in what it was made... and how was it piloted ? Sarya-voice : '' Humm, sir ? Anean ? Can't remember your name, but whatever... How do you pilot a ship of that size ? Surely there must be an automated system of some kind... Advanced VIs ? ...or do you have an AI ? I kinda studied how they were made in a university, you know. FREYA here is one of our lastest AI.'' Pointing at her headband as she said the last sentence.

Sarya-voice : '' ''Humm, sir ? Anean ? Can't remember your name, but whatever... How do you pilot a ship of that size ? Surely there must be an automated system of some kind... Advanced VIs ? ...or do you have an AI ? I kinda studied how they were made in a university, you know. FREYA here is one of our lastest AI.'' Pointing at her headband as she said the last sentence. Captain KCI entered the airlock. Both doors are open since the air pressure is the same more or less. "The name is KC. Anyway, 50 years ago and before that we had expert crews that would pilot the ship. However, this is the first time that an Annihilator Battleship went onto the surface of a planet." I headed down the spiral staircase that went around the Bridge Lift. I got off on the floor below, Deck 2. "Our AI that we have is in total control of the ship when she wants to be. She can be fun too. She does like to play pranks on people... a lot." I made a quick turn and called the lift. That arrived in a few seconds and we got on. "Sorry if I am rushing you a bit, but IX wants everyone settled in as soon as possible. Obviously we are pressed for time with the Governor's Inauguration coming up." We reached Deck 6. There are 4 lifts to each deck. I headed down the hall to the first circular ring. That will save a lot of time for when we head toward the front center of ship. Almost 10 minutes of walking later, we reached the VIP cabins. "Sorry about the long walk. It's a big ship as you have seen. Bigger on the inside. Anyway, just pick out a room and settle in. If you need something, just call on the comms panel. It's hard to miss in there."

"Tinisians eh? Well, at least we'll have civilized company. Not like those Cali. Let us adjourn to the ship then?"
She took IX's arm, smiling, intending to follow him, or make him follow her, to the ship.

She took IX's arm, smiling, intending to follow him, or make him follow her, to the ship. President Elect IXWe reached Deck 6 with the Tinisians close behind. I headed directly for the Imperial Cabin. I looked at the numbers slowly decrease on the doors... 50...49...48... Well, I am not too far. 5...4...3...2...1... And there it is. The double doors my cabin were obvious. They opened as soon as I got near. Now to get some relaxation. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw KC and some other person.

Sarya-Voice : ''Don't worry about that... humm... KC, I have walked way much longer than that before. So... Now I don't think I need anything, except maybe a rainbow trout on a crystal plate ! ...Nah, I'm just kidding, even if this actually sound good, but I will wait a bit for the fish.''
''In any cases, I will take... that one... The first one with a 7 in it. 397 it is ! Do your AI records which room we will take ?''
She was making one of her ''mischievous'' smile, like the one people usually do after a prank.
* : *Your fishy joke wasn't that funny Sarya. Also, don't even think of making pranks with the AI of that ship... We don't even know him yet... Maybe he or she is the rude kind ?*
Sarya-Mind : *Hey ? A AI that finds another one rude and tries to make jokes... That would be a first ! Maybe you could team up and make great pranks on the invities... oh, that reminds me.*
Before KC could answer, she asked him one last thing.
Sarya-voice : ''Oh, by the way... Do you who will also be on the trip ?''

She is much smarter than you might think. As for who is aboard, I have some people from the Confederacy of Aatuylva, Aluez, Union of Tinis, Miokalia, and the Kingdoms of Cal. The Miokalians haven't arrived yet. "And what might your name be Madam Ambassador?"

* : *Please Sarya... Remember that you must behave, especially if my data bank is right, at that moment. But you aren't gonna listen are you ?*
Sarya-Voice : ''(sigh)... I should really have made myself a name-tag with ''Call me only Sarya'' on it. It would have definitely saved alot of time, repeating again and again. Of course it would be useful only when I'm not at Suikodan, but still.''
Finally, she decided to look a little better at the Anean in front of her. She then saw some ranks fixed on his shoulders and a few dozen medal-thingies. Of course she wasn't really impressed, but diplomacy being what it is...
Sarya-Voice : ''You can call me Sarya... and you must be, a General ? General IX, if I presume ? I haven't ever seen you in person, so I guess it's an honor. I could show you the gift of the Hive, for your Emperor, if you have time ? It's a ring, one of a kind, like the expression says.''

Tiam headed into IX's cabin, tired of all the showboating....and that damned armor was heavy!
She shrugged it off of her shoulders, placing the pup on the bed, looking at it.
It just kind of stared at her with a clueless look in its eyes.
Hrmph.
Hopefully IX would be done with whatever it was he was doing soon...

President Elect IXI am glad she shaped up a little bit after realizing who I am. "General? Haha, not anymore. As of right now, I am the President Elect. The ring however won't be of use to the Emperor. He is more or less a 'lame duck' now. I assume you know the term. I am the one in power. Though, if you insist, you can give it to him." I looked at my... I don't have a watch... huh... "It was nice to meet you Madam Ambassador." I smiled as I said it. I had to do it. "I have to take care of a few things. Enjoy the trip and I hope you get settled soon." With that, I went back to my cabin. LucAII appeared near the Tinisians, no doubt startling them. I said, "Sorry about everyone leaving you. If you wish, just pick some rooms. I will take note of it. Oh, by the way, I am Luca, the ship's AI."

Tiam was just in the process of getting rid of that stupid tunic when IX came back in.
"Oh! Hello Spaceman. Done talking with the ambassadors?"
The Wraith was sitting on the bed, wearing IX's hat, looking utterly moronic.
Tiam turned away, her tail swishing as she pulled her tunic back around herself.

I hate being a diplomat sometimes. Anyway, I will leave for now until you are decent." I noticed the wraithwolf and took my hat from it.

Alani looked up at Nakhi when he was offered the chocolate, sniffing curiously of it before taking it into his small jaws, laying down in Ina's lap and beginning to chew away on the exposed bar. "Mmmrr!" "I think you just made yourself a new fan, good sir" she says, looking up at Nakhi, then back down at the kit, her tail swaying slowly from side to side as she watched him. "shall we get the show on the road and head to the lounge, then?" ----- Tod poked his head out of the quarters he had taken residence in at the sound of other voices, noticing the other diplomats, smiling and stepping out, wondering if anyone would approach him to have any sort of conversation with him. " I wonder..." he thinks, looking toward the imperial quarters, before moving on and laying eyes on the Tinisians. " I wonder if they're worth talking to..."

"shall we get the show on the road and head to the lounge, then?" Colonel Nakhi Welhan"Heh, I can't tell if that's a good thing yet. But yes, let's head to the lounge." Intended for LucAI to hear me, I said, "Take us to Deck... uh..." LucAI said, "57. Right." "Right. Are there any officers in the lounge?" "There are 112 ASF officers, 35 AGF soldiers, and 3 political officers. The lounge is 10% full at this time." ACIA political officers... damn... "Good." I said to Alani and Ina, "Well, the room will look empty, but obviously there is a fair number of people. Also, just a heads up, if anyone approaches us and starts asking us odd questions, it is best to ignore them." OOC: The ACIA political officers on the ship is much like the KGB was to the Soviet Army (or Red Army is you prefer that). Tod poked his head out of the quarters he had taken residence in at the sound of other voices, noticing the other diplomats, smiling and stepping out, wondering if anyone would approach him to have any sort of conversation with him. " I wonder..." he thinks, looking toward the imperial quarters, before moving on and laying eyes on the Tinisians. " I wonder if they're worth talking to..." President Elect IXI walked out of the cabin and into the hall again. LucAI was taking care of the Tinisians, thankfully. I lit my cigar, since I don't want to make the room smell of smoke and the ventilation works better out here than in the rooms. I looked around and noticed a fox in the hall. I headed over to him. After getting a few feet closer, I recognized him as Tod. Well, at least they are aboard. I said, "Good afternoon Tod. Glad to see you made it." Now that I remember, my rank is different. I decided to wear my President shoulderboards out. That is 6 gold stars and, like the 5 star rank, one of a kind obviously. I also have several more ribbons than last time, around 40, on the left chest. On the right is my small Hero of the Anean Star Empire medal.

The Miokalians finally landed in their small transport plane, their escorts turning around and then departing back.
"What the hell kind of... This thing is huge.", was the first thing Andertol said upon existing the aircraft and stepping on the disc.
The four were all wearing fairly normal formal attire, with the exception of small cases strapped to their arms. Dosimeters, mostly for science/research reasons. Since they were going through space.
Hiyike Andertol (allosaurus) was wearing a light gray, pinstripe suit. He had a bag which looked like it contained a tent in addition to his other luggage.
Vuela Konig (Wolf-Raptor) was in a black, fake-leather formal dress. And about average luggage.
Akkie Herdez (Red Fox) wore a bright orange suit and had neon pink bags.
Echrak Hoychotodloran (Raptor) was in a greyish-tweed suit and had everything in steamer-trunks. He was also taking pictures of everything, including the other people in the delegation, with a cheap-looking camera about every 10 seconds.

"Ahh, but to have such a cute kit as a fan is always a good thing" she says, patting Alani on the back when he burped from eating the chocolate bar too fast. "Feel better little one?" He nodded and curled up before closing his eyes half way, waiting for the lift to arrive in the spot they needed to be in. ----- Tod perked his ears up at the sound of a familiar voice, his tail beginning to flick about slightly as he laid eyes upon IX, giving him a quick salute out of respect. "Greetings General, or should I say President" he smiles and leans against the frame of his room door. "How have you been since our last encounter?" he asks, looking into the room when a small crash was heard, as well as the sound of glass breaking. "I hope that was something unimportant!" "It was just the whiskey glasses we brought on board, don't worry" says Casper, chuckling and holding up the remains of the broken glass for him to see. "Ironically, the bottle broke the thing, and the bottle is untouched" "Guess that bottle is a bully..." he changes languages to Slavic for a moment. "Don't advertise our room contents too much, we don't wanna get in trouble" he looks back at IX before looking him over from head to toe. "You look sharp... if I do say so myself." which was the truth, he did look sharp... very official looking.
