Salato smiled "The tech would be enough, but the problems the other parties have is...well making it look international. Al is on the phone with the head of the head of the tribal alliance. They are another party in my government."
Salato thought for a second "I you can't find us some one, I have an idea...But a capsule would be wonderful, just so you know CAS would likely have it in bits before is got off the transport. I have no real control over them other than the little funding my gov gives them...thanks to Al's lot and the tribal alliance."
She did grin "If you need a large things put up there I'm pretty sure we still have the only super heavy on the planet that is functional. Though I suspect you have means to lift loads that size your self."
Then said quietly "Where is the food I'm staving"

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun I put a hand on her shoulder and gently started to move her down the hall. "Just follow me. Dining Hall is... where it was last night. "A capsule... lucky you Haroma is in chaos. It'll take a couple weeks, but I think the one that got the Empire into space is still in the National Museum. Priceless piece of history, but it's something. "Chances are I won't be able to find you anyone. The Aatuylvans I don't think like you very much and the Aluezi despise you. So if you're looking for international partners, I am willing to help with the program. "And you guess right. We don't use rockets. We are a space empire after all, so we have starships. Two of which can land on the surface an are military transports usually." By the time I finished, we were at the entrance to the Hall. There are some of the Palace Guards there eating, but otherwise it's empty.

Salato shrugged "Figured so, If you send some people to CAS to help them out...I will not object, I have little control over them anyway. I would increase funding but Al's lot and the tribal alliance are against it...Perhaps them eating some crow would not be a bad thing. If the Alban's get people up there."
Then she laughed "To eating, I'm hungry odd things happen when people eat they often forget stuff."
Al was off the comm "What's good?"
Lyie was looking a little better as she followed but not overly.

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "What's good? Well, I personally like it all. We have meats from Haroma as well as Remnora. Both are... were... major planets in the Empire. They'd taste different, as I said, compared to the equivalent from Earth. A good Anean breakfast has lots of grease and lots of meat. "Of course, if you'd want breads or vegetables or something, just ask."

Al and salato looked at each other, then smiled.
Al and salato said in unison loudly "A grease fill gut buster, we will eat anything"
Lyie said quietly cringing at the noise "Do you have porridge or Muesli? I am feeling a little under the weather"

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Heh, that's good." I see what they're doing. I know how bad a hangover is from experience. Loudly, I said, "And yes, I can find something for you Lyie."

Lyie cringed "Thank you."
It was quite a feat for someone with black fur to look so green.
She scuttled off to hide in a corner.
Salato said "Well then black pudding, tatty scones, bacon, eggs, sausages, onions, mushrooms...well or what ever you have like them. I'm starving."
Al shouted "You OK Lyie?"
Lyie made a most un-princess-like gesture.

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Hmm... well that can be made real quick I'm sure. Can't get the black pudding though. That's not exactly something eaten around here." I motioned to one of the tables. "I might as well eat with you all if you don't mind. More interesting than the guards. I know all their stories anyway." I figure it's either bullshit with the guards or talk with people I may not see again for awhile. Of course, as I sat at the table, the whistle - which is extremely loud - blew signaling the end of the guard's break. "Lyie is going to hate me after this." I laughed.

Lyie cringed and covered her ears she said something that was thankfully untranslatable.
Al laughed "Don't be to bad to her, she is one of the better ones, at-least she had the guts to show the morn."
Salato smiled "Well that and we have to put up with her on the flight home. Give her some porridge or summurt, the ensemble only has two toilets and I know she would block the front one out of spite. She is brighter than she looks...then again the way she is looking...I think I have found things in the back of my fridge that are firing more neurons than she is at the mo."
Al shrugged "I figure she was playing the, lets make it consistent that all commonwealth royals are prats so people talked to us...seems to have only worked a little."
Salato shrugged "She is playing the fool, that takes brains and well she does have a phd in history and original research in furropology* "
Al laughed "and her books"
Salato laughed "We all know she doesn't write large quantity's of porn."
Al smiled "Obviously not that would never be the kind of thing a princess of inleef would do."
--- *furropology : Anthropology for furries.

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Actually that whistle wasn't my doing. That's timed. However, I don't take too kindly to threats against the country. Notably her telling me she'd turn my country to dust. Whether or not she was serious, I don't care. Whether or not she said it to me, I don't care. You just don't do that. "Heh, and here I am talking politics. And just because you have a degree doesn't mean you're smart. For example, I have a doctorate in psychology and a masters in diplomacy. You can argue that last one all you want, but I do have it." I laughed. "But yeah, I'll have my people get her something. "Though I am interested now. How'd we get on the subject of porn when just mentioning books?"

Salato smiled "You see everyone but her knows she writes porn, she thinks people don't, well she still think her crap pen name covers her. Yile which would work on inleef as it is a common name there, but everyone knows it's her and lyie is self is not such a rare name there either. "
Al said "She writes good porn..."
Then he got sheepish.
"Well so I have heard.."
Salato smiled "Yeah right you have most of her books, though oddly some are selling up here especially the ones involving humans...odd"
Al shrugged "Most commonwealth furs have no interest in humans, they just don't do it for us and lyies imagination...Well green furs have very little interest. But her posts online and a few books are seeing somewhere up here."

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun I laughed to myself a little. I took it upon myself to watch the security tapes last night with that incident. That one Holmbergsvanian prince was with her when the threat was said. Now I can only imagine what she was going to do. "Porn..." I laughed. "Even I haven't gotten to that point. Oh the stories I'd have. Now, I don't know about those books being sold here. Especially considering that'd be one of the last things being sold nowadays. Porn books aren't exactly in high demand around here. "To be honest, the only thing you'd find our bookstores is nationalist and pro-government, patriotic stuff. I don't like doing it, but it must be done in an attempt to restore faith in the country after it was shaken by our civil war."

Al smiled "There is no porn in your army? Mixed regiments I s'pose that works for us. Hey people of duty will get up to stuff any how, so why bother. Most of the commonwealth fighters are equally strong be them male or female, they have different talents. Well so I'm told but most of our snipers are female apparently."
Salato just shrugged "You do know the harder you hold anything the more that escapes. We hold the lightest of sand in the commonwealth, but perhaps you would think about how fine the sand you are holding is.
Any way where is food!"

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "No porn? Not really. It's just not common. I spent one year on the front around the regular soldiers and saw nothing like that. Don't get me wrong, I am sure there was... things going on that I didn't see. Yes, we have mixed units too. Humans with the anthros, males with females. Oddly, our women are more suited to front line combat instead of snipers." The food was brought out, exactly as ordered. "Salato, the Anean mindset is... complicated. At least to most on Earth. Haromians, the name of the humans, have grown to love absolute monarchs, fascism, and other similar government forms. Why? Hell if I know. But I'm sure you can tell I don't mind. Anyway, they are fierce patriots and the leaders of the country. They also make up... well, after the war, about 70 percent of our nation. They are willing to give a little civil rights for a stronger country. "The Remnorans, our anthros, are more rebellious. They don't like submitting to anyone unless they get something out of it. They make up the majority of noncitizens unsurprisingly. However, they prefer monarchies since that's what they have been for millennia. "Combine this with our religion which constantly appears to be the perfect one, I have a fanatically loyal populace. If I show any signs of weakening the government, my approval rating - which is at about 97 percent right now - will go down the drain faster than Bush Jr.'s. "Lucky me, I am from Earth. So I do value civil rights and freedom and such. But I do respect the oddity that is the Anean Star Empire."

Salato thought for a little "The Haromians are rock, but that shatters when held to strong."
She started to eat.
"The Remnorans are the sand that tells you not to hold that rock too hard. It leaves your hand.
The commonwealth is strange, the teerie look like weak sand but when it matters are stone you can't crush unless you push them too far then they explode taking your hand with them. The saeie look like rock but are sand, they are only to be trusted if you know them or they are in the army. The leefin..well they are kinda like custard they are very strong when you grip then then get between your figures, the sisterhood has before taken over. In fact only the quine are what you see, well for now. " She smiled.
"You have a far easier situation than me, mine is complex, but I like that. My people know they are in charge and when the call comes they will fight. Not for me, but for there homelands. They will fight for the commonwealth to the death because of the fact it is what protects their homelands."
