The Sylvania Clans vampires are told to strap themselves in to their chairs on board the craft.
The Culture vessel picked up speed as it flew towards the Decepticons fleet.

The vessels both disappeared into FTL and reappeared in the planet skies , high above the defences.
Both craft fly through the atmosphere, flames spurting up as they fell to The ground.
The Culture vessel adjusted it flight to ensure it's flight towards the defences.
The Flood defences started to move their attention towards the two vessels freeing up the Decepticons.

The Culture vessel screamed as it went through the skies and everything not strapped down was thrown about.
Suddenly there's a flash of light as it's spore drive engaged.
The Culture vessel disappeared and the Flood vessel was left to fall towards the defences.
The Defences now focused fully on the Flood craft as fell, leaving a fire trail behind it and fired intensely.

The Culture vessel reappeared in Space , looking badly damaged by it's short trip.

"Captains damage reports. Soundwave casualty reports now," Megatron said as the enemy fire lessened.

Soon a stream of voices giving damage reports came in while Soundwave show a list of ships lost to the sudden fire from planetside.

In short a fourth of the armada was under some kind of damage. With a 10th of those damaged needing to head back to a drydock asap. With 9 confirmed KIA ships.

Not as bad as could of been but not as good either.

"Soundwave open a space bridge have the crippled ships head for Trypticon station to affect repairs," Megatron ordered.

With a nod of his head a green portal opened allowing the wounded ships to pull away from the battle.

The crew of the flagship look at each other with mixed opinions. But before any of them have time to state their opinion, the Admiral aboard gives a quick reply, "If you insist, you are free to engage. Further information will be specified by the Empress of Vicavalas. You may fire whenever ready."

Meanwhile on the ship the Empress is operating, she prepares to make her exit off the vessel. Before doing so, she puts in coordinates to Atstrakan, where she plans to send the ship so that it can be captured by the Empire. After this, she sprints for the hallway cutting down any remaining obstacles preventing her from reaching the hangar. When she does eventually reach the hangar, she steals a crimsonist Aggression-Class Fighter and hi-tails it from the hangar, turning towards the Culture's capital ship. The stolen capital ship jumps to lightspeed seconds after the Empress leaves it.

As I was browsing the regional Discord, it was announced that the regional ballot was tampered with, doubling the options and invalidating the original 7 votes. This breach of the ballot is exactly what I’ve feared would happen with our current voting site. Without proper security, or even for that matter verification, tampering can come from any which way. This is why I’ve been pushing for electoral reform, because things like this are too harmful to the democracy of the NWU to permit happening. From my understanding, a more secure vote will be occurring via the regional poll board. For a brighter tomorrow, the Reformist Party awaits.

Attention To The Region!
The Election is hereby invalidated following a hack to Google Forms.
This hack posted a vote, invalidated 7 votes, then locked the Election Commission out.
The individual who did this action is unknown at this time.

The Regional leadership is currently determining how to handle this break.
More to come as news breaks.

It is very strange the way it ended up, it's as if it completely glitched out, like instead of there being the 3 candidates, there's 5 on the pie chart, and 6 on the list. Though what's even stranger than the inconsistent piechart/list is the fact that everyone's been doubled; 2 Cintons, 2 Prusmias and 2 FNUs. Very weird indeed.

Sounds like a glitch, might be a settings issue or use of a smart or I phone to access the form might
cause it. It might not have refreshed properly.

In regards to this, I am updating my campaign (for this or the next term depending on how a verdict is chosen) to include more detailed depictions and plans for my ideas for my candidacy along with ideas for a new voting system.

A Decision Has Been Made On The Election!

Hello! It's me, Unovia, head of the Election Commission. For a brief period last night, the vote was opened and another vote was cast, giving 9 Votes. All 3 Candidates have 3 Votes a piece.
The thought that the ballot was hacked is still possible. In addition, it may be a glitch in the system due to a variety of inconsistencies.
The ballot has once again been closed. I have been in talks with Qrona, Unified Empiricus, and The Unified American Federation.

These are the Determinations:
1. The Commission will assume a Glitch unless we know otherwise. That moves it from potential hack to potential Glitch.
2. A New Ballot will be produced.
3. The New Ballot will be done through Google Forms.
4. The Ballot will be a Ranked Ballot.
5. The New Ballot will be distributed to the Voters of the previous Ballot to revote.

Why a ranked ballot, those are meant for senates and parliaments, not presidents.

That is Constitutionally covered.
ARTICLE III | the Electoral Process

As the process for electing the President was briefly mentioned in Article I, Section III, the intention of this Article is to expand further on the electoral process as a whole and to determine the way in which elections are handled. If there is only two Candidates running for election, the First Past the Post system will be used. If there are more than two, the Ranked Voting system will be used.

The First Destination


Mairon sat upon his throne, a crown upon his head marking him as the second Dark Lord of the Eleni. One month ago this occurred and underway was his new plans, his twisted version of order. Most Eleni now hid in plain sight as uniformed officials and officers. Mutated troops and the terrible newly bred Uruk-hai patrolled the streets along with human worshippers of the Dark Lord. In only a week a code of laws was made after Mairon's ascension, rules.. order. The chaos under Moringotto was gone.. the order of Tar-Mairon was the future.

Piles of papers, folders and binders surrounded the throne of Mairon as priests and Administrators rushed in and out with more papers for Mairon to manage... he enjoyed it quite a lot. He'd then raise his hand and all the movement stopped then they all began to leave.
"Are..", Mairon said as he looked through a multipaged document.
"Yes my lord..", Are stepped from the shadows behind the throne, she was still of substantial height at a towering 9 ft though instead of plate she wore a black form fitting dress styled with black rose-like formations and on her head was a jagged crown covered by her light hair.
"Earth.. I read about it and I've been there before.", Mairon would begin to explain.
"Its a lush planet.. continental and divided though not to be underestimated. From my last visit I learned a land called Namibia was.. well it was abandoned by an extrasolar empire... free for the taking by us if we display ourselves properly.", he'd then continue.
"We'll secure this land to establish relations with the races of man... and then we'll find this sorcerer I heard about.. a mighty king.", Mairon then smirked before standing and gesturing for Are to follow
"Yes.. our former master spoke of a similar being.", Are then said as she followed.

The two entered a shuttle and left to the flagship of the Eleni fleet, 5 ships in total and left to the Sol system.
As they arrived they did so behind an astroid belt as to send a scout ship ahead and check for threats. Once determined safe they continued forward towards Earth, several transports leaving to Namibia while the ships remained in position.
Upon landing both Mairon and Are stepped out in Angelic form, Are her wings dark and encased in armour though otherwise fair in appearance like her master.
Mairon wore white robes, white wings upon his back.
"Greetings.", smiled Mairon with his arms forward in greeting to the occupation authorities, Marshal Van Gaal, the highest ranking human in the nation stood waiting before nodding,
"You speak english? Excellent. Who are you lot?", Gaal proceeded to ask.
"I am Tar-Mairon, I have understood your troubles and I have come to alleviate them, bring you greatness.. glory and order.", Mairon introduced himself with Are standing close to him, maintaining a small smile seemingly real though of course it was fake.
"You're not the first outsiders who promise to bring peace, we've had nothing but conquerors over and over.. why can't we be free? Why can't we just be a nation without others trampling over us? First the Dutch tried then Xahkuul and now... now you... whoever you are.", Gaal spoke steping forward.
"We are the Ainur, we represent the Eleni, the people of the stars! We wish for nothing but mutual advancement and learning.. we wish for prosperity and cooperation.. we want you.", Are spoke in a passionate voice as above the ships descended.

Gaal was in awe of the ships.. yet he also knew they didn't bring peace, if he refused they'd decimate everything, he had no choice.
"We accept your arrival... we accept you as our lords.", Gaal said through his teeth, he hated saying this.. yet he did.

"Excellent.", Mairon said before walking back in the transport with Are. Eleni troops came out as other transports opened up with more Eleni troops and Administrators.
Going back into atmosphere they moved north and a transmission arrived in London.

Greetings,

We are the Eleni, the people of the stars in your tongue our most esteemed lord wishes to meet with your great king to discuss the future of the Eleni and the Empire of Britain.

As the battle above Tero rages on with seemingly no end in sight, the Empress in her stolen fighter senses a familiar presence not too far away. She veers from her course to the Gooutofherean vessel and studies the battlefield. After a few seconds, she spots an Eleni transport group with a shuttle leading them.

"Are..."
she says with a scowled hiss.

The Empress jerks the ship in the direction of the surface, trailing the transports at just a far enough distance to not be detected. She never really trusted Are from the beginning, what business would they have on Tero of all places?

"We're being followed.", Mairon looked to Are, once more in her more... 'human' form, 6 ft and 5 inches tall with a black uniform reminiscent of the SS minus any sort of armband.
"Yes.. yes we are my lord.", Are looked up at Mairon.
"Don't do anything.", Mairon smirked. He had no need to at the moment.. for the second he just wanted to see what this pursuer was going to do.

With this the group continued forward, the shuttle returning to the flagship and Mairon to his throne aboard the ship... though the ships got slower and after 15 minutes or so Mairon finally gave a chuckle.
"Okay, no more games."

The ships came to a halt and began to turn around, their weaponry coming up from their bays and aiming towards the lone fighter.
An AI voice then began to be transmitted to said fighter.

Warning. You are approaching a military convoy. Please state intentions or force may be used to assure the safety of this group.
