[i]Thank you, Motherbox. [/i] It was a brief thought, and one directed at the device hooked to her side. Bellona was uncertain to the extent of the Box's sentience, but if they could appreciate, she wanted it to do just that. Would not want a self-aware piece of supertechnology being unhappy with her after all. She placed her hands behind her back trying her best to replicate the many poses she had seen her once-grand-leader take. It almost came naturally to her, but after a few moments she realised how...off it felt, to present herself in such a regal manner akin to his own. Taking a few steps towards the trident wielding alien, she spoke. [color=fdc68a][i]"I had the unfortunate experience of having your soldiers aim their weapons at me when I landed. Not a good start to relations with Lord Darkseid, if I do say so myself."[/i][/color] It left a sour taste in her mouth, but it was better than charging into a fight with an enemy she did not know. If she could extract some information from them then dissuade them to leave with word alone, then she would attempt it - and right now bluffing about her own relations with her people seemed to be the way. [color=fdc68a]"However, all can be forgiven so long as you explain your reasoning for attacking..."[/color] the pause was unnoticeable, but long enough for her to consult the Motherbox. [i]Where are we? ...Earth? I know of this place. Not a good place to be, Orion of New Genesis had taken liking to this place, as well as my own people. Better than where I was before, none the less.[/i] Communing with the device was one-sided, as it did not communicate in a 'language' as such, instead simply directly giving information and cutting out the middle man. She continued, her pause to slight it was almost unnoticeable. [color=fdc68a]"Earth. Our Lord has taken interest in this world, after all." [/color] She spared a glance of her glowing eyes to Hot Socks, but nothing more. He did not appear to be affiliated with the invaders, nor did he appear to be a risk to her current 'role', unless he was a lie detector of some sort. Any more attention to him would break the act.
