Transmission to the Imperial Forces "We have been fighting off threats for so long. It is by our actions alone an ancient threat from another universe was saw off from even this little fragment. But this universe is dying, darkness has fallen across it and with more and more threats arriving, this universes story is coming to a sharp end. Allow us to strike an accord, we are the most dangerous threat to your expansion in this universe, you would waste many ships trying to depose us and would gain very little. You would merely be wasting your lives and resources. However, if you simply share the technology required for universal travel, then we will join you and become a protectorate of your Empire, adding even more majesty to the Imperial throne, or we will simply go our own way and leave you to do what you please with this universe. The choice is yours." Collective Flagship, Deep Space "Stand by for orders, get the fleet into formation and prepare for jump." "Understood" "Request High Command send Onus to NP, allied individuals in need of transfer, location will be determined shortly, after communications with the Equestrians. Prepare to interceed the Imperial Forces in Equiis if we do not receive conflicting orders." "Praelatus Meus, scans report Tear #2552 has closed, your home system is safe." An Officer reported, and a small smile flashed over the fleet masters face "Thank you, Officer, that news puts my emotions to rest" "Of Course, My Commander. Alert, receiving word from High Command... They are attempting to bargain with the Imperials, they intend to double cross them once they receive the technology and send target seeking explosives through into the Imperial Home Universe. They expect this will deter any and all future invasions of this universe." "Excellent, with some luck this will be the last universal invasion we are thrust into in a long while, the galactic community requires a strong basis, which is of course difficult with exogens invading at every chance."
