Xitania shrugged "Don't take being called a jew as an insult it is just what the humans from the commonwealth call themselves and they are a peace love people. They have only ever defended themselves and then only when directly attracted, perhaps the jews you have met are different, visit zion some day. You see humans are all the same to us, well other than the jews who seem not to kill each other over who is right...but well as you would know war is never about but to make a truism but it's about who's left. No true victor ever calibrates as they get to see the battle field after the fight. Sorry what's the route into the city."
She mutters "I'm really sounding to much like my..."
--- Tailinto thanked the guard and nodded politely as he left..there was a crash a second latter as she put the battle axe horizontally into the desk, splintering it.
She smiled "You should ask your carpenters to make your desks no to have the grain running one way, best to have it diagonal. You can't do that to them if they are made that way."
"Right you have until either you guards come and drag me out of here or until I find out what way the grain of your bones go to tell me why I should not kill you now?" Tailinto was looking more than a little unbalanced. You really could not blame her.
"If you say that slavery crap is over up north you will get five minutes and you see that balcony there tell them. I will lose the axe.
Deal?"

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "I like you. You're honest and I respect that." I got up in the passenger seat. Hopefully she doesn't attack me or something. "We need to get to the Capitol though. It's in the Citadel. Just follow the street signs to it. It's not that far. "I want to right my wrongs." And give her a medal. Without her, I think I'd still be on the side of the road. Ambassador Nakhi Welhan I sighed then stood up. I really hope she doesn't intend to do something with that axe. This armor will just bounce it off more or less. "I'm sure you're mad at me for heading back, but I have my reasons. IX is... was... family to me. He was a brother more or less. I am also a citizen of the Empire and I had to respond. The colony is falling into anarchy. I cannot allow that. "With IX dead, I have no reason to return to the colony. I might not like the policies of the Empire, but I do care about IX." I put my helmet on since I think I have an attack incoming. "Why shouldn't you kill me? Because it's an act of war. That and I do still love you. That won't change. You're almost in luck too. Luca, the Prime Minister, hated the slavery thing. With her emergency powers, she can repeal it. Doesn't even need a reason. "If you're going to kill me, or try to, do it now."

Tailinto put the axe down and pointed to the balcony "Well tell them before they rip this place down. The police can control them only so far until one of your over armed guard does something fucking stupid like IX did."
Tailinto lobed the axe over her shoulder, it disconcertingly stuck in the wall, and walked up to Nakhi and lifted his helmet off. She looked him straight in the face "If you want to stop a war, say to them what you said to me."
she stepped down "As for us..."
She looked over her shoulder as she walked away with her tail drifting behind "I'm off for an ultra-sound the morn, I always thought we should both be there when we found out what it was."
As she left the office she smiled "You don't tell them what you told me or you don't turn up...don't even bother to call me."

Prince Alaric Holmberg V "Sir!" Captain Raleigh turned back to me. "Report?" "Aluezian skyships have entered our airspace" "Say what?" I turned to look at another screen. Several radar contacts were coming towards us. "Are you sure?" "They identified themselves as such, Prince Holmberg" "Tell them to divide their forces. One group goes to Port Penguin, another comes here to New Vancouver" "Will do" Raleigh looked down at his viewscreen.

Ambassador Nakhi Welhan I took a megaphone from my desk. I don't know why I have one, but it's useful it seems. I walked onto the balcony and said into it, "The Emperor has died. With him, the slavery legislation dies as well. The Prime Minister was against it from the beginning and will repeal it within the next couple hours." I would have thrown in 'long live the ASE', but that doesn't work here. I sat down in my chair and it surprisingly held the weight. I forgot it was built in the Empire. Naturally sturdy.

The message was broadcast over the UBC that was waiting for a riot they had expect a sniper up there or something. But the renunciation of slavery from the embassy was enough for the mob to leave..well(ish). in most cases there was no point going to work now so they some just decided to have a picnic in the centre of the diplomatic quarter.
Tailinto smiled as she saw what was going on, the people of the commonwealth were never one's to waste a free day off. Between the little litter bots and the people the square in the middle of the square was being cleared but the people had decided they were not going. Many of the people who stayed near never came out to use this place and if they didn't the Telen natives would.
Tailinto plucked a flower it looked a very dull thing and wrote a note, "you and your people drop the guns and armour, leave what would thing you need to protect the place. Bring some food the fight is over as far as they are concerned join them in there picnics.
I'll be weighting for you "
She just wiped it over her sent glands before giving it to a guard.
She smiled "You know who it is for."

The skyships acknowledged the order to split up, a good 10,000 troops being routed to Port Penguin as the remaining 15,000 stood it's course to the capitol of the country.
"Send this message to their high command:" Tod cleared his throat as he thought of what to say. "General Vlodovic will be arriving in New Vancouver within the hour, hold tight as we will be sending air support ahead of us to bomb enemy targets whereas marked."
Just as he quit speaking, a squadron of King Raptors flew past the ships and began to head toward the capitol. "This is Red Squad One, we are en route to the capitol for close air support of the allied forces on the ground."
"Roger that RSO, be safe and kill any that are in your way!"

General Emanuel Guarnera, New Astrapolis 15,000 protesters in New Astrapolis. All of them are around the city hall. They are unarmed, but I can change that. The mayor called me in to take care of them. With the CEO dead, the President of Megamantics authorized me to do this by any means necessary. Ten heavy gunships flew over the city and took up positions around the city hall. The riot police, Megamantics funded, moved back. The gatling guns on the helicopters opened fire on the crowd below with 50mm guns. In just ten short minutes, there were at least 4,000 bodies littering the streets. Mission accomplished. Ambassador Nakhi Welhan "Sir, you have a message." He handed me a note. I read it and then got up. Better get this armor off. Or I could wear it. Hard to say what would be easier. Though I'd rather not get on her bad side right now. I got out of my armor. Took 10 minutes. I almost kept a gun, but decided against it. I changed into black slacks, white dress shirt, and black tie. Also put a black armband on, just because of IX's death. I headed out of the building and saw Tailinto. "Well, I'm ready. Lead the way."

Xitania smiled then grind and started to play with the ancient radio, it was analogue. It saw a little disconcerting when she pulled out a smoke and lit it from a glowing wire under the steering wheel. She fiddled a littled more with the radio and looked at IX.
"Oh my manors want a smoke I think you'll need one." she smiled she lit one off the wire and shoved into to IX hand " as she kick the radio it clicked "This is the UBC long wave radio service ASE ambassador states slavery will be abolished." Xitania went silence until Nakhi's speech came over the waves.

Apparateur Sweizalthorpe tossed Andertol a wire-bound accordion folder.
"What's this?", he asked.
"DCN", Sweiz said, "Reporter that taped hired Anean cops massacreing civilians. Died while capturing this from a cell phone."
"Yeah yeah", Andertol said then set it down and crossed his arms, "Infintesimal tragedy for them I'm sure."
Sweiz stared at him a minute and said, "I want you to get confirmation on this from the Anean government. If this is real, this means their biggest private enterprise is going to be labelled a terrorist organization by our government. And will be treated as such."
"So what", Andertol said, "I'm not happy about being married to the allegedly deceased emporer, but there's nothing I can do about that either."
Sweiz started to walk out and said, "Yeah, I overturned that already. No f**king way would I let something like that stand."

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "I'm... apparently... dead. That's wonderful. That means that Iron Talon is being even more strictly enforced and there's a massive power vacuum. "This colony is about to go to hell in a handbasket. We better move quicker, if we can. "Oh a cigarette would be great right now." I began to smoke as a GK Skirmisher with grey urban camouflage drove past us. I saw Luca on the grenade launcher. She looked right at me and then said something. The Skirmisher slowed down in front of us finally bringing us to a stop. "That's the Prime Minister. We're lucky she found us. Probably going to the same place we are." I stepped out the passenger door. Luca got off, slapped me, and said, "GOD DAMN IT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD." "Why? Wanted to rule the Empire for a bit?" "Well... yes." "You can wait a while. We have to get that slavery thing repealed." Luca got back in the turret and I went back to Xitania. "You can come with us or follow us or even leave. Either way, thank you for getting me off that road. I owe you."

Xitania simply said "Don't make Nakhi a liar and do it in your first sentence to the people. Free the slaves, as for me. I think you are almost to Damascus, never under stood why people wanted to go on that road, but it seems to matter to je..humans. I am as the churchians say a good Samaritan. Just let me on my way. I have some where to go."
She smiled "I will get there in time, not sure where it is yet...may be I will find this road that so many of your kind have to go down...I know it's not a place."

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Nakhi isn't a liar. Not in the least. It's just misinformation. "Just stay safe. I wish you luck. I do still hope to see you again eventually." I walked to the Skirmisher and got in the back. The soldier driving took off down the road. We made a hard left down the ramp to the Citadel. Surprisingly, there is no one here. We made a turn into the entrance of the Citadel. The streets are still somewhat empty. Directly ahead of us is the entrance to the Capitol. This might end up going exactly. as planned.

Tailinto smiled saying "Come on then, I could do with getting the weight off my paws."
She started to cross the road that went round the square heading towards the garden's in the middle that had been turned into an impromptu picnic area by the demonstrators. The police weren't even trying to move people on, they were just glad nothing had kicked off and weren't going to risk something kicking off now. Nakhi got a few odd looks as did tailinto, but though they both looked familiar the furs could not places where they recognized them from.
Tailinto looked a little confused and felt her some what distended belly then said "I think something kicked."
---
Salato and Al were sitting back having a brandy "Well that seems to have calmed things down, for now" Salato smiled. "Aye" "I wonder if tailinto has forgiven Nakhi?" "Ach she's all over the place, she threatened to kill the leader of the socialists a couple of days back." Salato looked at Al "Erm I think that was me." Al laughed "Naw after the debate your suggesting that abortion should be legal up to the 150th trimester after birth in his case was in the chamber. She just threatened to rip his head off after the debate." "Was he being particularly stupid?" "Well it's hard to tell with him. But I think he said something about her looking good with her bump."
Al and salato's coms went off they both looked at their coms.
Salato said "Ballocks. Looks like things are coming apart up north." Al said quietly "Since when did the I get to know about these things before the media?" Salato glared at "There has been a massacre up there and that is all you can think of." "Sorry, but with all the crap they keep pulling up there I'm kinda numb to it now." --- A message was sent north: To: ASE government From: Prime Minister Eye Salato en, Executive spier, Parliamentary complex, Tel, KC.
Word has reached us of a massacre of unarmed civilians by forces within the ASE. It is unclear as to who is responsible how ever as the government of the country it is your responsibility to bring those responsible to answer for their actions. We wish to know if this was ordered by your government .

Prince Alaric Holmberg V "Sir! New contacts on Radar" Another officer turned to face Raleigh and I. "Rainier Wolfesberg and New Vancouver Intercontinental just picked em' up" "Oh god, more terrorists?" I shook my head "Negative, it's the Aluezan air force!" "Roger" I turned to grab a drink from the watercooler in the truck. "Someone tell the Aluezans that they can feel free to deploy soldiers to assist in martial law and anything else" "Roger that, sir" Captain Raleigh said. "Aluezan aircraft, you have been given carte blanche to deploy soldiers anywhere you like to assist in our efforts to maintain martial law"
