To: Consulting Commander D0R07 Irving-Blinn From: Chancellor Nakhi Welhan
Yes, I am very aware of the attack on your fleet. The Battlestation sent the command center at the Citadel the video of it. I also figured that Stidham, that crazy bastard, would tell you to leave after, or before, he told us to come down.
As for the attack, I must inform you that the Republican Senate authorized an attack on Salnai. The five ion cannons that attacked your ships were destroyed from an orbital strike. They also launched an attack on my ship in response, but it was, mostly, repulsed according to my reports.
I must inform you that the Republic is currently at maximum alert. DEFCON 1 in our terms. I haven't authorized any nuclear launches - and won't despite the urging of the Senate - but we are braced for the worst. Unless this situation cools downnothing comes into the island until further notice (but I am sure this won't affect you) .

Sosec pressed the up button before watching the doors close, the lift moving up to the bridge before they came to a stop after a minute or so, opening up to a psuedo meeting room, with the council already talking about something, as well as the plans for a ship
"Greetings Comrades!" she says, walking out from the lift and waving to them all. "I have brought a guest to speak with us, and to find out what he can do here with the black out, seeing people are still out of it" she walks over and takes a seat just as the ship plans were cleared from the floor. "And I will be listening!"
Lafi smiled a bit before leaning forward, looking over IX before motioning to the front of the table. "The floor is yours, good sir" she smiled more before introducing herself. "I am Lafi Du'Biske, I am the head leader of Aluez"
Everyone went around the table and introduced themselves, before taking a listening position.

"And I am Holy Emperor Xaimoungkhoun."
I am throwing 'Holy' in there to see I can get a negative reaction. I feel like arguing with people.
"I don't know what all I am supposed to say. I have 2,500 soldiers on the ground right now and they need orders. I brought them for security reasons and I figure that you could always use that.
"First though, I want a summary of events. I woke up about an hour ago after we were moved to DEFCON 2 and I have no idea what happened exactly." I need to stop drinking. That's for sure, but I won't mention that.
"I can say what has happened on our side. We're currently at DEFCON 1, the Citadel is sealed, the colony is locked down, militia is being mobilized, and we're waiting for a war. I sure hope you can find some way of explaining this to me so I can order the colony to stand down."

Only Sosec rolled her eyes at his little addition to his title, the entire room smiling and listening to him, only to look at one-another in confusion at the news.
"I think I can explain that one" says Alueza as she pops up next to him. "According to my satellite imagery, we seen a silo of theirs explode when one of their missles exploded for some reason or another, possibly sabatoage, or an attack off shore, I am guessing the former, they freaked out, and targeted the nearest thing they could, before sinking a ship and damaging another."
"The presence of a Cali stealth ship also does not bode well for the presence of the fleet, nor does your attack upon them with a space ship..." she shrugs a bit. "And no, we don't have our own satellites, I am just bouncing off of other sats to see what the hell is going on. Oh and I should mention that Salnai has moved to DEFCON 0, meaning they are ready for all out war as well, but I have not picked up any preparations for full out assault, but merely defense..."
Lafi nodded slowly as she listened, flicking her tail after Alueza stopped speaking. "I say call off the attacks on the Salnese and try to cool this mess off, last thing we need is an all out war when you're so spread thin." she shakes her head a bit. "As for the troops, I would say let them help start building defense, for we are sensing something bad on the future horizon."
Blair staggered in and held his side, wincing a bit in pain before taking his seat near Lafi, waving to IX with a nervous smile. "H-Hello IX"
Angel blinked and looked at her phone when she got a text, smiling a bit when she seen who it was from. "Tod is awake, and asking what the heck happened, and why he is in the hospital"

"My attacks were simply that one orbital strike. It worked at least. I should mention that I wasn't in a command capability at the time. The strike wasn't my order. But yes, no reason to start a war yet.
"Also, we're not stretched thin. We're underarmed, but not stretched thin. Especially not with my Corporation providing most of the real defense."
I hit a couple buttons on my right forearm and then said, "IDF Battlegroup 11, this is the Emperor. You are to work with the Aluezi forces to build defenses and assist in anything they may need until further notice."
I pressed another button and closed my radio communications. Then I saw Blair walk in. I definitely didn't forget what he said about me.
I walked around the table with a bit of a smile. At least an attempt to conceal my intentions.
Once I got around to Blair, I said, "Well hello to you too." I then took my machine gun and hit him in the back of the head with the stock."Asshole. Watch who you choose to speak badly about in public. Next time I'll kill you."
Now I wonder if I'll get arrested for that.

2nd Aatuylvan Mechanized Regiment Tyri Nektllnnc Aatuylvi-Aluezi Suukeyt Shaner City-State of Tyr The Technocracy of Ryvuul The Confederacy of Aatuylva
The large vault doors that lead to the supply tunnel rolled ponderously to the side as the three wartrains waited, steam pouring out of the stacks. Each carried supplies, vehicles, weapons, ammo, and board enough for 3600 soldiers, and their accompanying support troops.
IFVs, tankettes, artillery...all of it heading into Aluez through a tunnel straight through the mountains. They did not know what they would find, but they were prepared for all out war. Rifles were secured, bunks were strapped in, and the trains slowly began to push forward, the opening of the doors triggering an automatic process that would have the other side open the moment the doors closed behind them.
"What do you think we'll find?"
"Well, some people are saying they're ok, but we've still got all those Deep Patrol guys with us too...probably going to run tests.."
"So we're gonna be suited up the whole time, masks and all, in this weather? Fuck."
"Relax, it's not anything contagious. One of the brass said it only affected the aliens."
---------------------------------
Ulrik walked back into the meeting hall, his fur a tad ruffled.
"We've prolonged this long enough. Regardless of the decision of this Council, the Confederacy of Aatuylva will recognize and back Aluez's claim. We have reports of Salnese weapons firing on SOTO ships, and any further time-wasting will have our home governments decide the outcome for us. Please, forgive me, honorable members of the Council of the Federation, but may I suggest we come to a decision now before the situation devolves into full blown war?"

"Now that was uncalled for, Emperor" says Alueza, clearing her throat. "It was mind control from an unknown force that caused this entire mess of your colony being hostile with us... but now it's fine, it seems"
Blair groaned and slowly sat up, standing up slowly as well as his side and nose was bleeding. "I will keep that in mind..." he mutters before collapsing onto the table, only to get hauled out by Angel and Jeremy.
"Just ain't his day... shot by someone, now headbanged into the table..." Lafi shook her head slowly from side to side

That makes sense I think... mind control would cause people to say that I'm sure. Especially about someone like me when I have been nothing but supporting of them despite a few issues.
"Uncalled for? Well, maybe a little, but I enjoyed it.
"And the hostility was only directed at your people's policies. Not at your people. I have enjoyed our friendship since day one and I didn't want to endanger it. In our mindset, we may be kind of different, but the fact that we could work together says something.
"Now that Salnai has entered this situation, I am willing to put it behind us and work with you to provide safer lives for those in your nation, Aatuylva, and my own. We're allies for a reason. With the possibility of war, petty differences must be put aside to our ensure our people's survival.
"But of course those that decided to insult me will feel my anger once I find them. Mind control or not, that was uncalled for."
And now I need a drink. And of course I forgot to bring a bottle with me.

"The truth is more important than the facts..." says Lucifer before smiling softly. "But we will try to avoid this mess again... he's done with TV, He said so himself."
"ANYWAYS!" Lafi cleared her throat before looking over at Angella. "I do believe you have a question for the emperor?"
Angella nodded happily. "Yes, yes I do. I have done some research, and you're the head owner of the Megamantics PMC, no?"

I don't like where this is going.
"Megamantics Corporation. It's not just mercenary work anymore. But yes, I am the CEO. Why do you ask?"

"Well then!" she says before writing a few things down, putting the end of the pen between her teeth. "How much would it cost us to buy a few shares? Like... oh I dunno, 10,000?"
"Too much for you lot to handle" says Tod as he appeared as a hologram next to IX, waving before bowing. "I escaped from the hospital with my sister and child, the people there are about to drive me nuts with the sounds and smells!" he made a 'yuck' face before holding up the newborn kit. "Isn't she cuuuute?"
The council 'awww'd at the sight of the kit, Angella grinning before looking back at IX, waiting for an answer of some sort.

10,000? That's it? Better than the mercenary request I expected.
"Ten thousand shares... currently the shares are at about $110 each. Probably going to split here soon. So that's $1,100,000. Of course, I need incentive to sell.
"Say... $50 million. Lowest I'd be willing to go is ten million.
"10,000 shares would give you about 1% ownership of the company. Who exactly is buying though?"

Angella raised her hand. "The country, I'll be of course, putting my name on them so I can keep track of the money" she then wrote out an order for 25,000,000 credits. "We can only give 25 million credits, though... if Tod was to buy some as well, it'd be more"
Tod rolled his eyes and chuckled softly. "Oh fine... I'll buy the other 9 percent if that is okay" he says as he bottle fed his newborn daughter.

"Twenty five million works fine. Other than what's going to the shares, all of that will probably go to building my castle. Anyway...
"Tod, you want 9%? I won't even charge. I can just write that in your name without any issues.
"Other than the Board getting pissy with me about it."

Angella rolled her eyes. "None of us are pissy!" she snickers a bit before looking at the guards when they brought in the payment for the shares. "I don't know if the credit chips will work, but here is your payment" they opened the cases and showed several diamond chips for him to take home with him.
Tod blinked a few times at what he heard, before snickering a bit and looking at his child. "Next time I see you IX, I need to bug you" he winks before disappearing in a beam of light.
