"I had forgotten that Englishmen enjoyed their tea so much. You may not be English, but you do seem to hang around that area of planet Earth a lot. Thus, your many English mannerisms." Zuo Ci noticed. "Ahem, well, thank you for the seat." He said politely as he sat down. "I do believe I may have made a little breach in rules by contacting you early, Doctor. The War Doctor, or Last Doctor, as he used to be called, told me to see you like this. You see, our people are quite a bit different from many of our fellow newcomers on the new world. At first we thought Orochi was the cause of all this fluctuation and imbalance of cosmic forces." He breathed hard, and his Yin/Yang painted face scrunched his wrinkles, as if trying to think of something. 

"There comes a time when even the oldest and most practiced of Dao mystics don't understand certain things. We have people who know how to fire guns and use cannons, but most of us still use swords, bow and arrows, and of course, we do have notable strengths the other armies don't, like assassination experts, beyond most of their abilities to counter act. We can use magical spells to control weather patterns, heat the air to lethal conditions for large groups of people, and sometimes even control time and to some extent, space."

"Yet, with rare exceptions of the ability to create a few laser cannons many centuries beyond our scientific level, we are less advanced than American Civil War and Victorian Era military technology. We might be able to survive a bout with most of our competitors, should they choose to make us their target priority, but uh. . . I don't know about you, it feels like something is manipulating us, maybe it's just our experience with being fooled by the mischevious Orochi into fighting for him, but why would someone warp time and space in such a way that so many factions dangerous to each other would occupy the same space time, and the very same planet at the same time? Someone is watching us, it seems, something wants something, malevolent. This is worse than a mystical evil like Orochi, it's something so powerful I could scarcely contemplate the consequences of starting hostilities."

"Yet, it seems inevitable, with those "Tyranids", "Necrons" and others. We need more than a plan, we need collaboration. Specifically, with you."
