“I’m alright, just disappointed is all. You’re a hard one to break through, Erwin.”
"Ah dont be disappointed in the slightest Lady Iwatani. You train very hard. You are a more than worth opponent. I it is ever decided that i should lose a spar, or a duel, id rather lose to your hands than anyone elses" Erwin spoke encouragingly
“I guess I still need to practice.” Though to be fair, she did only practice for a few hours.
"Practice often. Practice hard. And i know that youll get me" Maho came in. Looking quite happy. "I have completed supper" she said. Erwin and Momo went to help Maho. Hiei clicked elegantly in her heels and bowed before Raph. "You seem like you could use a teacher." She said.
“Have you ever seen anything like it?” the Captain said astonished. The rest of the crew on deck starred out in awe, wondering what this construct even was. The Bridge door opened and In came Sion.
“Somebody want to te-...I hope this isn’t the “Pressing Matters” Gideon was inferring” Sion said in disbelief. He snapped back to reality and looked around. “What are we all waiting for? A hand written invitation on how to get invaded!? Inform High Command!”
The rest jumped back to life, carrying out their usual tasks. “Sions right, inform High Command that we may have an intruder in Sector 3A.” the Captain commanded. Sion rushed over to the Captain, who was still gazing out. “I suggest you ready your Weapon Systems...” Sion growled.
The Captain turned to him and chuckled. “Against that? Things the size of a moon...Do you think opening fire would help the situation in any way?” the Captain questioned. He was met with silence. “Alright then...Let’s try opening a frequency and see what this is all about.”
Sion just gave him a sour look as he went about the Bridge relaying orders. Moments later an Imperial Signal was sent to High Charity requesting to open a channel.
“Well, I do have a teacher, though unfortunately he lives all the way out on Brigid.” Raphtalia then looked at her. “Are you suggesting something?”
"I know Erwin's technique. Im Momo's adopted daughter. I watch how he moves and i watch how you react. Im an android after all. If you wish, i may be able to train you here. Though it is up to you ultimately" Hiei replied
“I...” Raphtalia wasn’t expecting this. “Why would you want to train me though? Surely you wouldn’t want me to beat your father?”
Hiei offered a slight smile. "Because you remind me of my daughter Xelha. Id love to see you beat my father. And i know that he wants you to beat him."
“I’m...not sure how to respond to that but...if you’re willing to teach me, I can’t possibly say no.”
Hiei bowed reverently. "I am most honoured by your acceptance. I shall take this honour with the utmost respect and teach you to the best of my abilities. If at any point you find my teaching to be unsatisfactory, then i ask that you do not hesitate to request a termination of our training. When would you like to embark on this training journey?"
Raphtalia looked around. “Is now a good time?”
"Well if you wish to skip supper then sure. Though Maho worked hard. I think she makes a rather renowned lobster dish she learned when growing up in Kumamoto" Hiei remaked
“Ah, I couldn’t possibly say no to that,” Raphtalia said. “Remind me, Maho is the daughter...?”
"Maho is another one of Momo's daughters. Xelha is my daughter. Maho is the heir apparent. I am Maho's sworn sister where her biological sister is Commander of the Army Miho Nishizumi." Hiei explained
“Ah...right...I’ll try to remember all these names. Wait...did you say you had a daughter?”
- | Second Eaon = Era of Emergence = Age of Revitalization |
- | As the hives began to awaken from their Era of Slumber and rest, there were those before, shifting through the rubble and ash of old for relics lost to the grip of time, before Acira, before Aszar existed Xeosa and it's travelers of old, with them contained the knowledge of lost and with tributes deemed rotten and decrepit. |
| Beneath the Hives rested those vaults of grey and ruin, locked by time sealed by ghosts unwilling to relinquish their past, unwilling to acknowledge that in which is true, and even as the Hives rose from beneath, ripping dirt and stone to pierce the heavens with their presence and such as the reactors roared producing strength for them to grow beneath them lay secrets, for telling a time before ascension, before perfection of a war of two. |
| Such times lost to the whispers of time forbidding knowledge from rising, yet some knew and others held their tongue in fear of retribution from demons of old, wishing for such to be lost to such whispers that forced them too to once sleep. |
Beneath the Rising cities and spires were those willing to disrupt such whispers, the explorers and travelers. |

Beginnings of Discovery
- | Sounds of silence pierced the air, disrupting the common chatter from the group which explored the ruinous caverns below, void of light and life with sources coming from the torch they kept, the stairwell endless and forbidding continued for as long as the darkness allowed such vision below, within these depths such treasures or discoveries awaited at corners lost to knowledge and time, they were the few brave ventures sent out into such depths for discoveries that could benefit their own and for the Collective. |
| The Group consisting of Ten stopped at ground, solid, hard, cold and Unforgiving, such material they had not felt a yet once read of, recollections of the war of two detailed castles of stone and obsidian, resistant to fire and damage used by the old Consciousness as a place of shelter and refuge from those above who sought to cleanse it from a world of ruin and death. |
| As Camp was made and shelters placed and fires lit to illuminate the ruins of old, ruinous text and engravements of old filled the walls lost of color and prestige, one readable yet scratched and broken just barely understood by the adventure which sought to clean it; Genesis-A 05, just once of many which remained. |

"I do. Her name is Xelha. Her....parents died under my command. I adopted her after i felt...guilt" *Hiei was quite genuine*
The Show Must Go On
With the arrival of additional ships from the Empire, it in turn brought in additional ships from the Ventusians. All had gone according to plan. Admiral Guanyu had hoped that more of the Ventusian fleets would arrive, but he felt as though his time was running up to stall.
With countless ships from both sides looking inwards at this single Imperial ship, the Admiral was terrified. He, and the rest of the crew, had joined this suicide mission with the resolve to see it through. Many would die, and those who did not would be taken prisoner most likely, unless the Germans happen to win this battle. Either way, they had steeled themselves to die, rather than be taken prisoner. The Admiral walked over to the comms table and made an announcement to the ship. Soldiers of the Imperial Navy, it is with a heavy heart that our plans must be put into action. If you are not a tier one operator, prepare to abandon ship. Those who stay behind, I...no, we, thank you for your sacrifice and shall not forget you. With that, soldiers and sailors from across the ship began their trips to their escape pods. The Admiral remained the last soul on the bridge. Once everyone was prepared to either escape or carry out their duty, he began the countdown. The engines had begun to charge.
The Admiral turned on the engines and prepared them for a jump to hyperspace, though the ship would never make it that far. The objective was to stall just minutes longer until the ship would blow, sending a massive energy wave to knock out Ventusian communications and FTL capabilities, if only for a short amount of time. The Admiral walked back to the comms station and sent the prepared message. Then he began another one to the Empire's fleet informing them to stay back and to "give 'em hell". The Admiral turned on the communications to the Ventusians and began to speak, briefly hitting the eject code for the escape pods before muttering his first words.
"To the Ventusians. Six years ago, you attacked us for no reason. You turned our allies against us. You even changed the narrative to get countless nations to agree with you, even though your declaration was baseless. The successor to your Supreme Chancellor apologized for the affair, but an apology was simply not enough to soothe the hearts of those lost in your attack in the Centauri System. As such, we have held a grievance with you since," the Admiral checked the display seeing that the engines were close to being fully charged, "and today we shall have our pound of flesh. Minutes ago, I sent a message informing the Imperial fleets and armies to mobilize against your systems. The Dynasty shall have her revenge, and it shall be paid with your blood this time". The Admiral looked down, the engines were charged. He gave the order for the Scimitar Assault Bombers to launch, effectively becoming kamikaze dive bombers with EMPs strapped to them. The Admiral sent the ship into FTL speeds, but since the hyperdrive had been disabled, the energy built up until the ship exploded in a blast of energy. Consuming itself and then expanding outwards.
SIC/OOC: All 20 Imperial fleets have invaded the Wolf and Kepler System. Electronic warfare ships will be scrambling comms and scanners within each system.
*feel free to go back in time and RP what you want. You don't have to start with the ship blowing up
“Oh...I see...it must feel strange to be a mother figure all of a sudden.”
PARLIAMENT VOTES | ACT #51-499 "RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COUNCIL ON NATIVE AFFAIRS"
HALL OF PARLIAMENT | PRETINNIUS | SOUTHLAND PROVINCE | REPUBLIC OF NEW PRETANNIA
Act #51-499, otherwise known as the "Act to Restore and Re-Establish the Council on Native Affairs" is based around the victory of Pretannia in the Cumbrian War and the still brewing tensions between the peoples of the Mapuche, Amaicha, Calchaqui and etc and the predominant European Pretannian Majority that exists across the nation. The original act that established the Council on Native Affairs was known as Act #71-117 which was passed on June the 4th 1971 after the end of the First Amerindian-Pretannian War. However the act would be abolished via Executive Decree #15 during the New Day Coalition to better consolidate control over the nation as a whole and to stop several Native Councils established by the act from trying to claim a false legal authority to lead the Amerindian Peoples of Westland Province and Cumbria Province during the aftermath of the Third World War. Here are the current main tenants of Act #51-499 as of December the 16th 2151 AD:
CURRENT MAJOR TENANTS
- Establishment of the "Executive Council on Amerindian Affairs" which will be the overreaching executive and legislative body for the Native Amerindian Tribes of the Nation. It will be subservient to the will of the Pretannian Parliament and will have no legal authority to try and secede from the nation at large at any time. This council will be made up of one member from each tribe elected to their position every two years.
- Establishment of the "Court of Native Affairs" which will serve as the overarching Judiciary Body for Native Amerindian Peoples and Tribes. This body will be distinct from both the Pretannian Parliament and the Executive Council on Amerindian Affairs and does have the legal authority to overturn acts of the Executive Council that might stampede on the rights of the Amerindian People within the nation as a whole. The Court of Native Affairs will also be allowed to deliver input on legislation being debated and voted on within the Pretannian Parliament if it so chooses, though the Pretannian Parliament maintains the right to ignore or accept said input.
- Establishment of the "Individual Council System" which is the Individual Councils pertaining to each designated tribal entity within Pretannia registered by the Pretannian Government under the 2150 National Level Census. The nation as a whole will not designate plots of land for "Tribal Use" and instead any mention of the term tribal land will refer to property under the jurisdiction of the Individual Councils. This does not mean that these lands belong to the Executive Council, nor the court, nor the Individual Councils themselves. Individual Councils will be under the subservience of the Executive Council and the Court of Native Affairs. The Individual Councils will have twenty people per council, all elected by the people who make up each individual Tribe.
- Establishment of "Tribal Territories" within the Provinces of Cumbria and Westland. The Tribal Territories are to serve as the seats of government for the Individual Councils, however a distinction must be made between the Tribal Lands being created in Pretannia and the ones that have been referred to from American Pre-War History. The Pretannian Government may not force people of any creed to move to these regions nor can the Pretannian Government expel them except in case of attempted treason, succession, or extreme periods of unrest. Each Tribal Land Area shall be governed by an Individual Council, each year the Individual Councils shall send a Representative to the Executive Council on Native Affairs to discuss a yearly report on the status of the Tribal Government and the Land itself. The Executive Council on Native Affairs shall be based within Pretinnius.
- Reaffirming the Pretannian Governments commitment to the protection of the Amerindian Peoples as laid out in Act #71-117 passed by Parliament one-hundred and eighty years before at the end of the First Amerindian-Pretannian War and maintained until this day even despite the nullification of the act in 2036 AD.
The Parliament would hold heated debates over the course of nearly a month on the Act itself, many from the Conservative Party focusing on its mere validity and merely nit picking at it while others from the more vocal Pretannia First Party demanded the Bill be taken off the floor, Party Leader Earhardt saying this on the matter:
"If this Bill was to pass within this Chamber then we would indeed be an embarrassment to our allies and our enemies across the world. This is not about race, this is not about kindness. This is once again the Parliament putting their obsession's with "diversity" and "tolerance" over the values of the hard working people of this nation. We do not need this bill and we do not need Parliament trying to placate terrorists."
The comment would heed calls from the Social Democrats demanding Earhardt's expulsion from the Chamber for the remainder of meetings, including the vote, on the matter of Act #51-499, however, these demands were rejected by Parliament Speaker Ruddington, who instead would agree to have Earhardt Censured for his comments, calling them unnecessary and harmful to the wellbeing of the nation. Debate would end on the 14th of December, allowing for a two day recess before the vote could begin on the 16th. Here are the results:

“Admiral, one of the Sistonian ships is preparing to jump to hyperspace,” the comms officer said.
Auralani didn’t like this one bit. If the Imperials and Sistonians were working together, they clearly had the numbers advantage, but why haven’t they attacked?
Her thoughts were interrupted as the comms officer spoke again. “We’re receiving a transmission from the Sistonians.”
When the transmission began planning, the bad feeling only seemed to intensify and it was near the end that Auralani figured out what was going on. “All ships, all power to shields immediately!” But it was too late. The sudden explosion from the Sistonian ship was large enough to completely shut down all power to any ships in the vicinity, including the Silver Rose. It had been a trap all along. At the very least, she had made sure the rest of the Alliance had been on standby, but would it be enough?
"I am an android, I am mostly incapable of feeling. While i possess the ability i do not chose to allow it to be a major part of my programming" Hiei explained pushing her glasses up her nose
“But you said you felt guilt...I’d say that contradicts what you said,” Raphtalia replied. “Anyway, we probably shouldn’t keep everyone waiting.”
Strange Times Indeed, Pt.1
As the ships began their decent onto the ground, the captain noticed what appeared to be the beginnings of a settlement of sorts on the ground. The freighter they had been tailing was also sited with the markings, "Aquila II". It did not take long for the shuttles to land a distance away from the town, but not far enough as it seems. The shuttles had only just landed when a group of people began approaching. As a few soldiers exited the shuttles, they noticed that a few of those who approached had weapons in their hands. Put on edge, the soldiers began getting into a defensive formation, but did not raise their weapons, however, they were ready if the need arose.
The captain stepped off of the shuttle, and the group that approached them. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if both sides had roughly the same amount. As the group approached, weapons pointed at them, the ships also prepared their own weapons. Hopefully it would not come to it, but the inhabitants seemed hostile. As the group approached it appeared that a young officer was leading the charge shortly after coming in contact, the officer said, "Idem ego?". The soldiers looked at each other for a moment wondering what he had just said. After running it through the translator, it was evident that the soldier was asking for the group's identification. One of the soldiers turned their shoulder revealing the patch of red on their armor with the white character representing the Sun Wu Dynasty. The Captain used his communicator in order to converse with them, "I am Captain Yuan, and we are from the Sun Wu Dynasty. We are apart of a military instillation on the moon that tracks incoming and outgoing ships from Earth, and maintains neutrality within the area around the Earth. We have no identification of you or your vessel. It is time for you to identify yourselves." As the captain spoke into the communicator, it translated the words and and spoke the translation for the inhabitants to hear.
