Security footage of Council chamber 10 15 B
"These filthy aliens shall be swept in ruin as We and our allies shall reclaim the universe for the Great Elder ones, so we shall be ushered into paradise by our lord the harbinger! Praise be to the Their Name!" *sounds of thousands cheerings.*
The recording of the Krall high chancellor ends now and the main screen of the room goes blank.
Chairman Nar Visato, who is seated at the head of the table closes her eyes and mumbles a few words to her gods before turning to the other people present.
“When it speaks of its elder gods, does it mean what I think it means?”
“If you mean the great evil, the reapers… then yes ma’am, I’m afraid it does.” Director Nel Hira of the Federal Intelligence Service responds.
“It would indeed seem so… the Shepard makes multiple mentions of a reaper named Harbinger. It would seem to be their leader as well.” Doctor Laman of the Tsoni institute adds.
The chairman looks down at her pad now, Which holds additional information.
“In that case what we just saw here was a declaration of war to all races of the galaxy… including us.”
“We would be ready for them ma’am… the home relay is unassailable.” High-Admiral Go Diras states but it doesn’t seem to please the Chairman.
“Even so High-Admiral, they have more fleets than just the fifth. We need to be ready. Order all standby dreadnaughts and other ships into ready status and all mothballed ships to standby.”
“I will make it happen Madam Chairman.” He makes a small bow and quickly starts typing up an order on his pad while the Chairman now turns to the Director and the doctor.
“Then I would count on your institute, doctor, to compose a message for these new aliens, the Karilac. They have attacked Krall ships over the Seraphian world as well as Nur’Xal raiders. Perhaps they could be persuaded to be our allies against both these threats…”
Councillor Nob of Maro interrupts her however.
“With all due respect Madam chairman, but contact with an alien race over matters of alliance is not a decision you may make alone… it requires a council vote…”
The Chairman seems a little offended by those words and provides a rather spirited rebuke.
“Then I take it you would rather see Kimo soldiers carry this inevitable fight alone then!? It is high time some of you realised we are not alone in this galaxy and no matter how powerful we may build our fleets, when a greater threat arrives, be they reapers or Krall or anything else, we will need the help of others! Just like Shepard had the Turians, Asari, Salarians and many more others…”
“Shepard fell…” the councillor tries to interject but the Chairman puts her back in her place.
“As will we if we stand alone! Remember the words of the great generals of old. ‘An enemy who thinks he is invincible is easiest to defeat’ for we will be that enemy to the Krall if we remain entrenched in the belief that we are ‘unassailable’ behind our relay!” she looks to the high admiral as well now.
“Come on dear lady… why do you resist our chairman’s notion, if you hate collaborating with aliens think of it this way: they’ll simply die in our stead.” Councillor Baron Na Milaski enters the discussion as well on the side of the Chairman. It does seem to silence the opposition from Maro’s councillor.
“Thank you baron…” the chairman bows her head slightly before continuing.
“Then lastly, things will still come to a council vote… but first, broadcast this alien message across all news channels. Have the people know we are under threat. Any panic that may cause is outweighed by the rallying effect it will have.”
“It will be done.” The baron responds before turning to Councillor Nob again.
“It may even help solve your little insurgency problem.” He chuckles, causing councillor Nob to ball her fist in anger.
With those things said, the chairman gets up.
“You all have your instructions now, see to them and I will await you all at the council session in two days. This meeting is adjourned.”
As everyone prepares to leave, director Nel Hira lingers a little.
“Director, I would have you come by my office later so we can go over an important matter in private… then afterwards we could potentially… tend to that other matter?” the chairman sends her a very subtle wink.
Director Nel Hira blushes now and smiles.
“Gladly, Madam chairman… gladly.”
…
Summary: the Kimo now consider the Krall to be a very serious threat and have mobilised nearly their full fleet potential to counter any possible strike from them.
Additionally, they have initiated contact with the Karilac in the hopes of gaining allies on the galactic stage.
