A Rebirth

Asim: So....were you serious about what you said earlier?
____________________________________________

*Natran sees this.*

Natran: What...is that?

"which thing?"

"that is where the blade is sealed. defended by our best soldiers. rigged to self destruct if the blade is taken without proper authorization"

Asim: Um...All of it?
____________________________________________________________

Natran: At least you use proper precautions.

"yes. yes I did."

"the vault within was made by those mysterious beings from the stars. the metal is unknown to us, but is self repairing. and heavily shielded"

Asim: Oh.....Um...aren't you worried about how you'll go about all that?
_______________________________________________________

Natran: Self-repairing metal? Impossible.

"I've got time to think about it."

"I'd agree if I hadnt seen it myself"

Aism: True.....
___________________________

Natran: I see.....Please, continue.

"yeah. I'll figure somethng out. I'm a child fucking prodigy" *sighs*

"well, other than the orks, we and the consortium have been at peace since then."

Asim: Don't strain yourself, okay?
______________________________________________________

Natran: I see.....What can you tell me of them? I'll admit...My crew and I have...isolated ourselves, probably to your detriment.

"I promise"

he explains what he knows

Asim: Thanks.
__________________________________________

Natran: I see.....if their "Big Four" are willing to vouch for you, and they can be trusted....I believe the High Chancellor would be quite open to negotiations with you and your ally.

"I need to smile again...dammit"

"I am glad"

Asim: At least you can still do it mentally.
_____________________________________________

Natran: Indeed. The citizens of the Outer Colonies may finally be safe.

"I guess...would be better to show it"

"We will do what we can to help you"

Asim: Yeah....I'm just glad we're not absolute drones, to be honest.
_____________________________________________________

Natran: And for that, you have my thanks.

"yeah...and we've got eachother?"

he offers his hand

Asim: That is true.
__________________________________________

*Natran cocks his head, but takes Berric's hand nonetheless.*

"And I'm gonna make sure we keep that"

he shakes it

Asim: Alright, but I'm holding you to that.
________________________________________

Natran: If you'll forgive my ignorance Lord Berric, what was the significance of that gesture?

"I'm holding me to that"

brief explenation

*He makes a sound that is similar to a chuckle.*
___________________________________________________

Natran: I see. Thank you for the explanation. Now then, what else can you tell me about the Brotherhood?

she does likewise

"What sort of things?"

Asim: I'm going to go get some sleep.
____________________________________________

Natran: Honestly? Whatever you think may be useful for me to know should a diplomatic meeting occur.

"Want me to stand guard?"

"well. the clans of old from when we were fractured still exist, but they are united together. each clan leader has a seat on my round table, in my personal council"

Asim: Yeah. If you're up for it.
_______________________________________________________

Natran: I suppose that's as good a way as any to keep them in line.

"I am"

"indeed."

Asim: Alright then. *He gets up to leave.*
_________________________________________________

Natran: Surely, there still must be conflicts amongst the clans. I mean no offense, but your system does have it parallels to the alliances the nobles use, and even, they fight each other as much as they fight the Outer Colonies.

she picks up her pistol

"Worst comes to the worst 2 clan leaders duel in the arena. to first blood only."

*He goes and lies down. Not sure what else to do with them here.*
______________________________________________________________________

Natran: How...civil.

*skip till morning i guess*

"hm?"

*Ok....now wut?*
_______________________________________

Natran: Forgive me. Such a thing is simply more civil compared to what I know of duels.

*IN ZEE MORNING*
shi wakes up first

berric: there is no point in ending lives over a simple disagreement

OOC alright, time for this I guess
IC with the Nurglite fleet holding their position waiting for further reinforcements (much to the Plagued Fists dismay) another fleet join them, though not as big as the Plagued Fists the more pressing issue is that they're Undivided rather then Nurglite
Malric: this is Armsmaster Malric, Chapter Master to the Dark Wolves. It seems you're in need of help
Pesicus: that's our aim. This may not be a Black Crusade at first, but it could very well turn out that way
They explain the situation 
Malric: so they've already pulled a world out of Imperial Control
Pesicus: and the locals aren't happy about it
Malric: well what if we could arm them?
Pesicus: explain
Malric: my fallen Chapter plays guardian to entire pirate coves, and sometimes they can't pay entirely in currency, we have amassed a large stockpile of weapons, most of them Imperial Guard type equipment. Lasguns, autogun, hellguns, the whole sub-Astartes level. We load up one of my frigates with drop pod and drop them into civilian centers. We've seen Ultramarine colors enough to be able to mimic those colors on the pods. No one goes down but the weapons, and we let local tensions cook up from there
Pesicus: this is Ultramarine territory, they will counterattack.
Malric: that's all the more reason to arm the locals, they'll be meatshields to our Loyal Brothers and we can come in from the side in the mayhem

*Asim wakes up a little while later.*
__________________________________________________

Natran: How I wish the nobles had that outlook.


OOC: Oh dear....Hm...Wow, Fae, WOW....Sneaky bastard. If you go through with a fight on that world, it's going to get interesting when more Consortium forces start to trickle into that staging point (think of that planet as the beaches after the D-Day landings, if it helps).

nicole is still awake

"a shame they do not"

*He goes over to her.*

Asim: Anything happen last night?
_____________________________________________________

Natran: And innocent people suffer for it. They won't be happy until everyone but them is living in squalor.

she's holding some paper
"no, nothing that i could see. think those kroot learned not to attack us again"

"They'll get what's coming to them"

Asim: Let's hope so. *He looks at the paper.* What are you working on?
________________________________________________

Natran: I hope so, but for now, I'm simply concerned about the survival of the colonists. Once they're safe, then we can bring the nobles to justice.

"its....just a drawing" *its of her, anna and emily. her old body*

"I understand"

Asim: Oh....Um...You look pretty.
__________________________________________

Natran: Indeed....Thank you for your time today, Lord Berric. It has been...enlightening.

"thankyou..."

"always a pleasure"

Asim: No problem. *He goes over to Shi.* You feeling better?
_________________________________________

Natran: If you'll excuse, I'm going to make sure this information is logged in the ship's computers. I want everything I possibly can at my disposal so that we can convince the High Chancellor your area of the galaxy is safe. *He leaves.*

OOC. naz shall join you after a swift feeding of the body and cleansing of the soul....or body... whichever water and soap cleans better...

"yeah...still trying to work this out though"

*.....*

OOC: Hey, Naz.

IC:

Asim: Well....are kroot allowed in the Tau military?

OOC. Quoting form the review of Kantai Collection: "Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be a boat? Well, now with the power of anime, you can experience it!"

"they are"

OOC: That makes no damn sense, Naz.... -_- Just....Ugh...Anime....

IC:

Asim: Well....*proverbial tongue caught in throat*

"what?"

Asim: Erm....I was going to say...if he had your mothers dog tags...maybe he knew her?

"No. Look....about how she died....I dont actually know how fully"
