With Oz;
In the last few days the Alorian Queen and her advisers has been talking with each other internally about the problems that were beginning to arise for the Empire, and potential solutions. Many of the meetings had been rife with disagreements, the Alorian high government not being able to come too a decision regarding outside pressures and threats. That was, until the Commonwealth responded too the Alorian calls for talking too be held between the two nations. The Queen wasted no time in setting up for a meeting, sending three of her best advisers to a Commonwealth system as a sign of goodwill. The three advisers, Lila of the Alorians, Raina of the Alorians, and Takeer of the Krolm, left on a Royal transport ship, safeguarded by a small naval vessel and around a dozen F35X fighters, all as precaution, with no violence or threat intended.
The ship came across a Commonwealth border force as they crossed from Alorian space too Commonwealth space. As soon as they did they had entered the Meridiana system, a system full of verge worlds on the Commonwealths Alorian border, holding the world that the talks would be held on today, Terizand. The Royal transport ship docked slowly onto one of the ships belonging too the border force, the doors between them opening as for the first time ever Alorian government spoke with another nations people in their own space for democratic reasons.
Lord Sir Castlereagh had made the journey from Praetoria specifically for this occassion, yet doubts still lurked in the back of his mind. He was still reeling from how quickly the negotiations had crept up on him. He, Telemachus and Bismarck had duly presented their recommendation to cabinet, and their fellow ministers had jumped on the idea. Evidently the threat of the Dominion weighed heavily on everyone's minds. Castlereagh had heard that even the Imperial Queen had leant her support to the proposal. The opposition parties were raising a fuss about it in Parliament, naturally, but not with half the vigour they usually did.
So here he was, sudddenly face to face with the Alorian delegation. With a slight start, he placed a translator in his ear; general contact with the Alorians was frequent enough that the Commonwealth had solid translation software for their language.
"Welcome aboard the RCNS Anna Karenina," he said grandly, "and welcome to Terizand. I am Lord Sir Robert Castlereagh, Minister of Foreign Affairs for her Imperial Majesty's government."
He gestured to the stern looking man to his left. "This is Captain Arthur Wellesley, commanding officer of the ship," then to the man on his right "and this is Anderson Ribbentrop, with the Imperial Diplomatic Corps."
The Alorian advisors bowed as they entered the Commonwealth ship RCNS Anna Karenina. They took a few steps fowards before reaching down, taking translation devices from their pockets and fixing them onto their ears. Raina stepped fowards, watching and listening as the Lord introduced the men too his right and left. She nodded too all three of them in the order that they were introduced, as did Lila. "Thank you, Lord Castlereagh, for allowing us into your space. And thank you, Captain Arthur Wellesley, for allowing us onto your ship". She said, smiling gently at the two men. She reached out too her right, gesturing too the other Alorian woman, and spoke again. "This is Lila of Aloria, one of the Queen's most trusted advisers". She stopped, gesturing too her left, "This is Takeer, of the Krolm".
Lila and Takeer stepped foward so that they were now standing next too Raina and not behind her. Lila spoke next, looking too Castlereagh. "Minister, shall we move onto the important topics at hand? I believe we need to speak about how we can work together too help us stay strong, despite outside threats. The Queen want's us too propose two things". She said, stopping. Takeer opened his mouth next, speaking for the fist time. His voice was much more rough, low and gritty than the two Alorians too his side. "We would like too sign a defensive pact with the Commonwealth, so that we are stonger. And we would like to enact free trade between our nations". He said, looking down at the three men infront of him. None of the three here wanted too take any more time getting this done than needed.
Castlereagh put up a hand. "Please, let's adjourn to the conference room before we get down to business."
"If you would come this way?" Ribbentrop asked.
The various military personnel detached from the group and went about their own business, leaving, Castlereagh, Ribbentrop, and three staffers with the two Alorians and the lone Krolm. They boarded a lift that took them directly to the Anna Karenina's diplomatic suite and the conference room, which had been prepared in advance with appropriately sized seating for everyone involved. Once everyone was settled, Castlereagh spoke up.
"As you said, we have two main items to discuss today. I believe a mutual defence pact is fairly straightforward. I will be frank, I think the Dominion is our primary concern; they are blatantly militaristic and violently xenophobic, and we are certainly better off standing together against them. There are other enemies out there, however, so my government has asked me to suggest that the defence pact be a broad one; in the event either nation is attacked by any third party, the other is obligated to commit forces to assist in bringing hostilities to a close.
The Alorians sat and listened quietly as Castlereagh spoke, fortunately he spoke just the words that they wanted too hear. "We agree. The Queen thinks that a defensive pact should be signed as soon as possible as too deter any of our violent neighbours from launching an attack against either of us". She said, looking between Castlereagh and Ribbentrop. Takeer spoke up when she finished, his gruff voice a little louder than everyone elses. "We are willing too give our full and strongest support too you in any kind of attack, as long as you can promise too provide the same if we enter a time of need". Lila spoke next, looking at the two representatives, "And if we agree, this pact can be signed here? The Queen is very concerned with getting this done soon." Lila asked the two Commonwealth representatives.
"Well," said Castlereagh, "anything signed here shall have to be ratified by Her Majesty's government, but given current subspace comm traffic, it should require no more than a day. We are of course equally anxious to establish a mutually beneficial defence pact, and shall commit our full military capability to any conflict encompassed by the pact."
Ribbentrop spoke next, somewhat tentatively. "On the subject of free trade between our nations," he began, "we require....certain guarantees with regards to our...human citizens."
Castlereagh too shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Ah, yes. Eliminating tarriffs between our nations would certainly see an increase in trade activity, but we would require....assurances...that any human Commonwealth citizen would not be harassed, harrangued, or...detained...within Alorian space."
Lila and Raina did not speak for a few moments after the needs of the Human's was brought up. Raina sucked in a deep breath before she spoke, looking at the two men. "These needs can be met, of course. We wouldn't be looking too harass and detain our allies, would we". She spoke quietly, as she could tell that the commonwealth delegates weren't very comfortable speaking about the issue, and truthfully neither was she. "Of course, they would need too be wearing some kind of identification which would render them exempt from the Queens law's regarding Terrans, which I am sure you are quite familiar with". Takeer kept quiet, he had no opinion on the matter as his people did not look upon Humanity with malice, but certainly in no favour either. When it came too issues with Humanity they Krolm usually let the Alorians take lead. "Is that acceptable?" Raina asked.
"Yes, perfectly acceptable" Castlereagh replied, He was obviously relieved to move away from the sensitive topic. Privately he believed that this treaty never would have gone through if the Dominion wasn't looming over the horizon. The Commonwealth could stomach a lot of things, but outright slavery was not usually one of them.
Next came the business of hammerring out the details of the treaty. This process usually took quite a long time as each party tried to squeeze in tiny concessions to give themselves an advantage, but in this instance, both the Alorians and the Commonwealth were more interested in getting the treaty signed as soon as possible. The finished document was remarkably short and straightforward: free trade and a mutual defence pact in one neat little package. The delegates parted ways for a few hours as Castlereagh sent the treaty off to Corinthene and Praetoria; it returned a few hours later with the Lord Chancellor and the Queen's electronic signatures. He met back with the Alorians shortly thereafter, a wide smile on his face. "Lila, Raina, Takeer; I am pleased to inform you that my government has ratified the treaty."
Lila, Raina and Takeer had been speaking and keeping mostly too themselves during the hours in which both parties were seperated. The only productive thing they had done was contact the Queen, have her look over the treaty and wait for her acceptance. This did not take long as the Alorian Queen had nobody else too consult but the three who had already accepted the treaty. After this the two Alorian delegates fed, away from any Commonwealth staff so that it didnt cause any alarm. And then Castlreagh returned with a ratified treaty. "Wonderful! As has our Queen". Raina spoke with a smile on her face. "We look foward too a very secure and peaceful future with you and your people".
Not long after this did the advisors and the small convoy that came with them leave. They returned too Alorian space and made their way straight to the capital planet, where they would soon meet with the Queen and speak about how best it would be too announce the new treaty too her people, and too others who needed too hear it.
The Meridiana System; along the Commonwealths Alorian border.
In the last few days the Alorian Queen and her advisers has been talking with each other internally about the problems that were beginning to arise for the Empire, and potential solutions.

@MissCapnCrunch Saaaaame. That would be so fun to do.
Capital of the planet Aloria: Krogow.
The faint sound of a child crying is all that could be heard in the eerily and strangely quiet streets of Krogow. The city had come too a standstill, the streets were empty, except for the odd person here and there that could be seen rushing home. The usual sounds of children playing and vehicles were absent as they were every three months in the city. Everyone was at home, watching there televisions intently. The Queen was addressing the Empire, letting people know what was going on and why. Showing people what she wanted too show and informing them of any changes in law. But none of that was what everyone was awaiting today as they usually were, people were intrigued by the 12 Terran's on there knees that were just visible on either side of the Queen. Since the start of the speech, people had been speculating about what was going on. New law's regarding slaves? New types of slaves? Or another live execution?
The Queen finished off what she was speaking about as she stood up, moving too the side slightly and revealing what was behind her. She was in the Krogow city centre, a square with a tall flagpole, proudly flying the flag of the Alorian Empire. Around the edges of the square stood the Royal Guard and marines, and above the square flew dozens of ships scanning the streets too ensure the Queens safety. In front of the flagpole were the twelve kneeling Terran's. They ranged in age from 7 to 53, and both sexes were present. There was a 7 year old boy on the very right side of the line, quietly sobbing too himself as he looked down at the floor in what was definitely the most terrifying moment of his life. Queen Lilith watched as two of the royal guard quickly ran on, took away the chair she was sitting in and moved away. She walked towards the flagpole and stood behind the Terran's. The camera's zoomed in so that the only things in the shot were her, the Terran's, and an Alorian flag lowered down the flagpole so it could be in the background of the shot.
"I have been informed that recently, there has been a large number of attempted escapes by slaves across the Empire. This will not be tolerated". The Alorian woman spoke slowly and with grace. "I have, with help from my advisers, come up with a solution". As she said the last word, a masked Royal Guard approached and stood next too the Queen, bowing before standing up straight and drawing a pistol from her side. "For every one Terran that attempts an escape, five more will be killed. For every one Terran that does escape, ten will be killed. This is a warning". She spoke such harsh words in such a calm manor. She stood too the side and watched as the Royal Guard moved so that she was standing behind the Terran at the very end of the line. She raised her pistol, and pushed it into the back of the Terrans head.
The sound of a lone shot echoed off into the distance as the Terran fell forward, the corpse falling onto the splatter of blood that the gunshot sent flying onto the floor. A pool of blood started too appear slowly on the floor as the guard moved on. Bang. Bang. Bang. Three more dead, fallen too the floor as the first did. The fifth Terran was a young woman who looked around 17. She had dirty blonde hair, pale skin from lack of nutrients. She had cuts and bruises all over her face. Bang. Her body fell, like the others. The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth went down the same way. The Royal guard approached the Queen, handed her the pistol, and bowed, before walking off and exiting the shot. "Let this be a warning too any slave that even thinks of escaping. I dont care who you are, I dont care for your age. This is the punishment you shall receive". She raised the pistol and shot from the left of the Terran, his body falling right onto the seven year old too the right of him. The child screamed and started trying too push the body off of him. The Queen walked over, standing over the child. She spoke quietly, so that only the child could hear. "All of these people died, because of you. I hope the rest of your kind aren't so stupid". With that, she raised the pistol and shot. The boy was dead. Without a word, the Queen walked out of the shot. The cameras panned upwards with the flag as it raised too the top of the flagpole. The broadcast ended.
The Queen stepped onto the transport ship that would take her back too her palace. She sat down, relaxing slowly into the soft chair that sat at the head of rectangular white table. On each side, three of her advisers were too sit. She drew in a deep breath, sighing slowly as she saw the door at the end of the room open. Slowly, two Royal guards walked in and stood on either side of the door. After this, her six advisers walked in and bowed, before sitting at their allocated seats around the table. Congratulations were said, formalities were endured, and the meeting was too start. The Queen smiled as she looked upon her six most trusted people. "The first issue we need to discuss on our way to the palace, and the most important issue tonight, The Dominion of Man".
After this was said, talking erupted around the table. The Queen quickly made them silent once again. "We have all seen how anti non-Terran these people are. This, coupled with there aggressive expansionism, is not good for us. For now it seem's they are busy with earth, but what happens when they turn this way? We have too be ready". Talking once again erupted and the Queen sat silent, this time listening too all of the proposed ideas that were flying her way.
Just updated my sheet, I've expanded on Alorian culture and a little history.
@Wraithblade6 I'm pretty sure this is what you put up the interest check for? If it is I'm in, it looks awesome.
