Governor-Militant Nakhi Welhan
Well that's an interesting turn of events.
I called her back.
"Just land on the roof. There are two helipads. One will have a Federation shuttle on it. I will meet you there."
Before I continued, I went into a corner.
"I may not be able to carry out that last request until after the ceremony when everyone is gone. The train car IX's casket is in has 10 soldiers in it guarding it and I know that no Anean citizen would stand for it."

Tod nodded a bit and smiled a bit at the Marshal. "Yes, it's a long story... we never really did anything exc- well, maybe that's for another time" he chuckles and shakes his head a bit from side to side. "I suppose I should find the method of travel we are going to be taking and settle in... I'm sure that by the days end, I'll be in chains" "Not like it matters for someone like me anyways"
He turned when he felt something bump into him, looking down at the child responsible before watching the mother snatch her away from him. "Am I really that terrifying?" he asks, shaking his head again before turning back to the Marshal.

Tailinto smiled down the phone "Just got to the ship...Looks like I'll be stuck with a load of very well toned furs for a bit."
A few minutes past
"Not long enough, damn theses fast craft." she txted
"Damn they're all female... I wonder if I can get a night with the marines on the way back." she txted
Tailinto laughed.
"Will be there in 'bout 15, not a male here D-: Could use one and I think where I might be able to find one ;-)"
Welhan's com failed, not with sparks. It just stopped, bricked, no bangs, no well anything, it just died.

"And I promise by the end of the day anyone who tries it will have their souls cast out of their bodies little one."
Tiam walked over to Tod, placing a paw on his armor.
"Although I might say you came a might over-dressed. They'd be hard pressed to make you do anything you didn't want to...I think we're going to be taking a train. An Aatuylvan one, so don't worry. There will be plenty of firing ports if there's trouble."
She ruffles his hair a bit, smiling.

Tod sure didn't realize that one... here he was just going to surrender without a fight, and now, he was thinking just the OPPOSITE! "You're damn right Tiam... and I thank you for your support..." he growled cutely at the ruffling, however, he had no hair visible, as every inch of his body was like a tank.
"And the overdressed part is for my own safety, and to..." he chuckles darkly. "scare the ever living shit out of the people I don't like... I mean, who'd mess with an eight eyed, 6'5", bulletproof, shielded, and magnetically reinforced soldier armed with two Anti-FREAK Cannons, three AK's, two .13 caliber explosive silver round handguns, and a scythe that makes the grim reaper quake in fear?" he honestly sounded enthusiastic and ecstatic about having so much hardware.
"And where is this train, Tiammy?" he looks at her and give s a soft giggle, tail flicking for once in a long time.

Marshal Vincenzo Soldavini
"Right... well... I'll head off now. See if I can find something to do."
I readjusted my trenchcoat and wiped something off the 5 stars on my shoulder. I almost miss being a Marshal. Of course, I don't think anyone would actually notice the stars other than Welhan.
I headed down the stairs and made a left. I walked out a pair of double doors and watched the smoke rise on the terminal. Oddly, when I walked out, the two Imperial Guard soldiers saluted.
Governor-Militant Nakhi Welhan
15 minutes. That works I think. I found an intercom box and said, "This Governor Welhan again. Hold off on boarding the train. There's a couple more people inbound. It will be another 15 minutes."
Now I get to wait. I looked at my uniform. I took my jacket off and looked at the back. There's a hole in it. Great. Looks like I get to wear my armor. 350 pounds of armor, but at least I don't have to carry my cannon with me.
I should have it on by the time they arrive.

"It's right over there I think. They're still prepping it from the looks of it. The engine is pure Aatuylvan craftsmanship, like my wartrain back home. They probably done up the cars themselves though."
She pointed out the large steam-engine hooking into the terminal, Anean symbols on the cars, but the Aatuylvan bloodwolf discreetly painted on the side of the engine. Guards were milling about it as the steam engine was being tested.
"I'd say we'd be ready to go in about twenty minutes at the latest.."

He nodded and looked over at the engine, before nodding and looking back at Tiam. "Fair enough... as long as we get a move on soon." he wouldn't admit it, but he wanted to get out of the terminal as soon as possible... he had seen a few things that he did not like in the crowds.
"Hey Tiam? Back home, can I have your help with building a new port in Tyr? It's a Multi level that can house freighters and other craft"

Tailinto's helicopter came down with a bit of a bump and a number of teuie swear words.
Tailinto shouted "Been a while since you were in one of these" There were further mutterings. "You do know I can speak you language?" Queen Ecquano exited the flight deck. "Damn it, these new ones, I couldn't get the damn auto pilot off in time." she muttered.
Three talll and elegant looking teerie guards walked out with their two curved seventeen inch curved blades glinting in the sun as both sides. They wore long yellow dresses but over them were the thongs that held there blades.
There were two marines in the helicopter one blinked as one of the guards with Ecquano with out appearing to turning threw a blade The one at the front pulled it from the air and shouted at the other then ate the small bird that had been close to the queens head that was impaled.
Tailinto stared and muttered "These guys are tha good"
One of the teerie asked her politely "Do you need a hand?"
After seeing that Tailinto was not going to say no.
They headed towards the train, she knew only the queen of teer and teu had access to the private army of Oi. But WHAT IN THE ANCESTORS NAME!!

"I'm sure that the Confederacy would be happy to help, Tod. Just say the word on what you need, and I'll get it to you."
Now if only the stragglers would hurry up. I hate being a target...

"Screw this, I'm heading for the train" says Tod before patting Tiam gently on the shoulder, walking off toward the train with soft thuds coming from his armored feet meeting the floor. He noticed someone off in the distance at the entrance of the terminal, but he couldn't tell who it was... no matter. He tried to get the attention of one of the guards.
"Hey, do any of you know which car I'm suppose to board?" he asks, waiting for one of them to answer... if they could understand him that is.

Governor-Militant Nakhi Welhan
I reached the roof, finally, with a loud clang. Damn this armor. I did notice the guards and I wouldn't doubt they'd try to do something. At least Tailinto is there to say something considering I am not wearing a helmet.
Before I got too close, I said, "I am Governor Welhan. Welcome to New Gracaria. What's left of it anyway."
Sergeant Nakhi Welhan II
"You cannot come aboard Tod. Not until the Governor says. Sorry, but we have protocols."

"Fine, but I'm not moving away from the train" he then began to slowly walk the length of it, looking it over with a curious spark about him... he'd never really seen a train other than the war engines in museums back home, and the occasional hover train that were in the ultrapolis cities.
"Wow... so this is what they look like..." he says quietly to himself within his armor, walking back up the length of it.

Tailinto shouted "What's with the new trim?" before marching straight past everyone and wrapping a tail about Nakhi. She grabbed him "You always said you wanted to show me this place." she whispered the knelt down
She placed some leave by his feet and said quietly "They are for the one you lost" in teerie*
*She hoped that Nakhi remembered that if a teerie drops leves at your feet it is either a curse or a blessing. She hoped he figured it for the second an knew to pick them up. Even though she was only part teerie she followed there simple but old belief.

Sergeant Nakhi Welhan II
"No, you will move away from the train. I don't care who you are, I have my orders. It poses a security risk and I would rather not make you move."
Governor-Militant Nakhi Welhan
Leaves? Wait... there was something about this. Oh well. Let's take a guess.
I kneeled down and picked the leaves up. "Thank you. He was a hell of a friend and a great emperor." I didn't know what else to say.
