[IC] Void of the Stars: A sci-Fi Nation Roleplay

[The Great Nahman Jayden]

-A New Era-
The Changeling Empire, who had been keeping contact with the Equestrians, but largely removed from intergalactic politics, have sent out envoys to the major players who the Equestrian Empire approves of, calling for a meeting on their home planet of Dracmoor. The six worlds under the Empire's control have grown considerably in the time that the Changeling's have been fairly isolationist.

-Equestrian-
A meeting has been requested with Equestrian heads of intelligence. The Equestrians are allowed to pick the meeting location.

"Your religion is peace and harmony, I feel your religion was proven wrong rather than the idea of peace and harmony. Besides, your constant insistence on jumping to violence without all the facts before you makes it no wonder that you were proven wrong." The Argutus eyed the Equestrians suspiciously before turning towards the Makudan "Parem Habui, who is this treasonous Retsukuu Yomo you speak off?" He asked, speaking in the same voice as ever and apparently with little regard for the shaking of the room. "Is there any way that this one or his Collective can be of assistance?" His eyes began to glow orange as he transmitted messages up to his ship, ordering them to prepare the few forces they had brought with them for a possible fight. The Triarian ship moved over head, moving slightly closer to the planet as he sent the messages

Outside Meeting Area
Unarmed guards stormed the grounds rushing towards the explosions all at once. For some reason, however, they find that all of a sudden they find other guards turning against them, even to the point that basic combat magic were used by both sides. There was confusion among the ranks, which led to more casualties in the crowd. Retsukuu, which managed to pass through the guard system as she had distracted them with the falling ship a while ago, walked among the ongoing chaos, clad in dark-looking armor that deflected any useless attack from the crowd. In the midst of disorder, she successfully passes through and enters the meeting room.

Meeting Area
Deroe replied back to the Triarian, "Retsukuu Yomo was part of our Council. Since the day she recieved a major genetic engineering that could have probably enhanced massively her power, we have suspected on her obsession of being a God, maybe like the Equestrian's 'goddess'. It is commonly known that she is now biologically immortal, but..." He made a worried look, then continued. "We have no idea yet if she has become nearly invincible. All we know is that she's probably becoming like the horse-people's 'deity'."

"We should've stashed our staves secretly along us. Now we're just hostages in a room. Glad the Equestrians brought their arms, though." Gvasty told the other Makudan representatives, being assuring of the current situation as she walked in. Her face as covered by her helmet, her voice was slightly muffled. Deroe replied back to the Triarian
"As an official Aeternal member of the Makudan, I demand you continue the war and revert the expansion system back. Otherwise.." She brought out the stolen staff. "I'll burn this continent down to the ground."

[darkwolf687]

"The Collective has defied gods and demons, I do not fear this Retsukuu" The Argutus said, then turned towards the door as she walked in "Hm... I see she may be armed" He said as he looked to the staff. He was not a Deuscidium, he wasn't trained to kill 'gods', and if what the Makudan said was true he would likely require it. No matter. He took a step forward and addressed her directly "Greetings. I am afraid your expansion system was simply ill conceived and would result in your own destruction, and the war was a stupid idea to begin with and an even stupider one as time dragged on. Therefore, I think it would be wise that you surrender to your people and allow your body to act as required to it's survival, it would be most upsetting to see the death of the Makudan, especially in light of more recent revelations" He paused, his eyes glowing a dull orange "I can sense the conflict outside. You are one to so much discord. What is your motive, I wonder? What could you possibly stand to gain from a war that would have no benefits, certainly not for your people, seeing how they would be vastly outnumbered?" He folded his arms in his calm manner "And why on Earth do you think the Makudan Diplomats here will change their opinions on whether you burn an AIF continent? It isn't as though it is their problem."

[Sukui]

"I only demand the reversion of all changes made since this meeting. Do not heed, and end up obliterated alongside this land. If you want, even the entirety of the planet itself if I can. You are being held hostage. Ransom will be the demands i made. Resist and die." Retsukuu walked up towards Deroe, lifted him by the neck, and gave a hard blow to his face, while threatening to crush his throat. "But I will kill this man on the first warning first."

Loud knocks from the door are heard as guards attempt to barge into the room.

[darkwolf687]

"I see. You shall place him down immediately, you will get no where by killing the people you need to negotiate with" The Argutus turned his head to the door, his eyes glowing bright orange, and suddenly it tore from it's holdings and flew into the wall beside it, allowing the guardsmen entry to the room. Then he returned his gaze to Retsukuu and glanced to the Makudan "I suppose it is up to you whether you will accept her demands, but I advise you don't. She cannot get what she wants by simply killing all of you" The Argutus clasped his hands behind his back as he spoke, and turned his head back to Retsukuu "I suppose I should attack you out right, indeed that seems to be where we are heading. You cannot possibly come to the conclusion that you can achieve your goals by murdering everyone in this room. And why would you want them reversed?"

[Sukui]

"The reason does not matter, Triarian. What matters is-" She proceeds to tighten her grip, until Deroe not only has had his throat crushed, but is also to the point that he is internally decapitated totally, that even blood vessels have broken off. The representatives could only look at shock and horror, and the guards, being useless without their weapons can only scream out, terrified and disgusted. The Supreme Admiral stands up in furious anger and attempt s to steal the staff, but fails and ends up being under her grip as well. She continued. "that the Makudan stays true to its way of supremacy and conquest. He will be my second warning, so third warning will be all of you. Beginning reform..... is beginning revolution."

AIF Outer Planets
With the first AIF planet captured, and seemingly ignored, it proved to be a staging ground. While the Seeders don't have them, the planet appeared to be a trade center, and jumps to many other planets were detected. So, obviously, the ships split up into even amounts of numbers, and moved through the faint warp paths. Soon, hundreds of alien, invasive, giant ships will appear in orbit at about a dozen other planets, and with the amount of priority the victims have been given, and the fleet sizes that are coming, they're proving to have little resistance against the giant ships.

Soon, pods rain down from the sky, spreading poisonous gas everywhere, foreign, alien planets beginning to grow to an unusual hardness, while remaining surprisingly flexible.

[Sukui]

Expansion Milestone
Being just in time for the reforms for the territorial expansion methods to be processed, the Makudan has reached a mark of 5 1/2 million colonized worlds, and rapidly rising despite the avoidance of sentient-inhabited worlds. As the dimensional sphere technology comes to further progress, and as the implementation of the agreement draws to a close, the size is expected to reach ten million by the course of six more Orbits.

((Shortposting due to wait for the Peace Talks situation to finish.))

"I think the reforms shall contunie without your revolution" said a mysterious voice. The Makudan who had been trying to stop the meeting found themselves pinned to the ground, unable to move. Faust stepped out of nowhere however the Equestrians seemed to enter a dreamlike state.
"There is only one place for you and that is Tartrus." said Faust.

[darkwolf687]

The Argutus folded his arms, fully expecting a fight between Retsukuu and Faust to erupt in the meeting room "If you are planning to get into a fight, I suggest we remove the more important individuals who have no stake in this from the room, it would be a shame to see the Human Primicerii killed as Collateral Damage" He said, sighing weakly as he watched Faust

[null123]

"Retsukuu poses no threat, she is well incapacitated right now." said Faust "I also apologize for my children, it was never my intent to see them on the path they are now, while they will walk it for a while, they will realize there mistakes and go back. I designed them, I know they will."

[darkwolf687]

"I would watch yourself, Faust. There are things that you may not foresee, I sense great energy surrounding Retsukuu, be careful when you handle her, she may turn out to be a bigger threat than she first seems. Indeed, she has all the makings of one." The Argutus said, with no small hint of seriousness in his voice "As for your children, the Equestrians are very aggressive lately... I do wonder what set them off."

((Due to me trying to make a somewhat respectable post from a phone, I will be screwing with time for the sake of having words in my post.))

Peace Talks
Fergus concentrated his mind on a singe orger, telling every tractatori on the planet to prepare for a fight. While weapons were prohibited on the planet, tractractatori technically didn't carry weapons. About a dozen of the guards pushed back their fears of the goddlike being and made discreet hand motions, tracing out ovals with their fingers. Nanobots swarmed from others in the room, injecting themselves into Retsukuu. Then Faust entered and somehow bound Retsukuu to the ground, the guards stared on in astonishment while Dmitri raised ann eyebrow. Both Fergus and Emily smirked at him as he handed them each a rare 21st century mission patch.
"In my defense, reincarnation by an alien goddess seemed like an impossible thing at the time." Said Dmitri in a defeated tone.
"I am so glad I took you up on that bet, I've always wanted the STS-135 patch!" Exclaimed Fergus, still smirking.

"Aside from extremely professional wagers on the existence of deities, there was a question that was asked before this whole fiasco started." Said Emily "It was about how we see religion. Honestly, there isn't a perfect answer to that question. There are those of us who hate it as much as the Triarians, and there are those who have devoted their entire life to the study of religious texts. The most commonly held attitude is that religion is neither good nor bad, it is how it is manifested that matters. In the Federation, everyone is free to think whatever they want for the most part, something that sets us apart far more than any of us suspected."

Meeting with the Changelings
The Equestrians heads of intelligence have agreed, and are mostly doing it because they want to plant spy networks in the Makudan and Triarian Collective, and with the Changelings special brand of stealth spells and ability to morph into anything, it should be relatively easy. The meeting shall be held at the main military office in Canterlot, as that wont be a normal diplomatic meeting.
Peace Talks
"It shall not be a issue Triarians, while she is powerful she has nothing on me, I do hide my powers though while around mortals, as the amount could literally destroy normal mortals, the exceptions stand before me." said Faust, raising her hoof towards Fergus and Emily.
"My Children have taken the path they have now because they see it as the only way to defend there beliefs and try to estiblish harmony. I would not worry however, they always turn back to the path that I tried to set for them."

[Sukui]

The Supreme Admiral was relieved for the moment, but mourned for Deroe's death as it seems. Gvasty still stood there in trauma, despite the fact that Retsukuu has been pinned down, which won't last for long, however. While at first Retsukuu looked asleep, ten seconds later struggling movements became noticeable, and her helmet began to break afterwards. The Makudan guards and representatives watched in fear, but knowing that the Equestrian "goddess" assures the salvation of everyone, they kept on with a straight face.

Or so it was.

As soon as the helm fully broke, there in her face was the face of a completely broken person completely fallen into insanity. There in her eyes, a twisted self, and perhaps this wasn't Retsukuu anymore. A visible mist of darkness surrounded her while she raised one hand up towards the sky, then flew off quicky while leaving off a sonic boom, which knocked out anyone nearby.

The Forbidden Harbinger that was stationed there, simply ignored, came into contact with her. As she plants her hand to its surface, the behemoth vessel turned to a darker shade, the joints on where its metal plates were fixed together glowed red like cybernetic circuits, and a massive fleet swarmed out of the ship, headed towards the planet. The huge spacecraft simply stood there, threatening something...

[null123]

"Clever, she did not use brute force to break through my hold, but rather a tricky combination of spells." said Fasut. She disappeared from the room, and appeared in the void of space in front of the incoming fleet. Her horn glew as giant balls of golden energy where flung at the fleet, the balls in fact seemed to be mini-stars. The planet itself was suddenly surrounded by a giant golden shield. Faust did not want any of the innocents to die.

[Sukui]

Innocence proves nothing.

Retsukuu "screamed" in fury that despite space carries no sound, it emitted a radio wave, which when received sounded like an actual angry, raging scream of a berserking piece of madness. With such wrath in her veins and nerves, her power continued to expand further, which ran across the circuits of the Forbidden Harbinger and into its massive telekinetic amplifier. The planet was deorbited, hurling towards its sun slowly. As a further attack, the huge vessel began to move towards the planet, ramming itself into the shield.

Many Makudan guard ships in orbit went as far as to deploy their planet-destroying weapons and fire at the ship, which only left a few holes within the Forbidden. Down on the planet, all the Makudan representatives turn to Faust as she does her best to protect all of them as hard as she can. The Supreme Admiral inquired about her origins, taking interest on her beauty and power.

Update on AIF colonization
Little reaction that the Seeders can see; any fleet is run through until they are dead or they leave, all the while seeds are fired at planets. While resistance on-planets are unknown, there have been several cases where enemy craft attempt to destroy planted Seeder ships, or the terraformers. All are met with failure, mainly due to the storms that erupt from terraformers except in a 300-meter radius around terraformers, and to the near-impenetrable grown armor that accompanies every ship. All terraformers on-planet that are of different origins are destroyed by Seeder Walkers that emerge shortly after the 2-ship teams 'plant' themselves onto the planet or moon. At this point, a dozen planets had already been completely terraformed, and their original inhabiting populations wiped out. The spread rate of the Seeders are growing exponentially.

"Stupid mortal, she tries to become like us? Ha! how much you all wanna bet this wont turn out well?"

"For her or them?"

"Mm, I don't know, really"

"So you are saying she does have some power?"

"Not as much as us, never as much as us. They are not that advanced yet, and when you are you die off as if you were just a little bug in a large, large world. No mortal can handle that power, she will die in a fury of flames sooner or later, and if she can beat that Equestrian Goddess, maybe we should intervene"

"There would be no gain to intervene"

"It makes our omnipresence known, as well. Would we want to reveal that"

"It might be a wise idea to do that, it brings fear, alertness"

"How are you sure that they don't know that already with the Equestrian Goddess?"

"Getting off track, like how that planet is getting off orbit. The mortal hurled it towards the sun..?"

"Illogical"

"How so?"

"I will deny that possibility that a mortal with nothing but 'god-like powers' just did that. She must have something else...something.."
