Erwin takes the chip before saluting.
Erwin - "I thank you for your help, I hope that we can find mutual trust. May we live in peace with eachother, the Phoenixian may not trust your empire, but you're more trustworthy than they say."
Ashton - "In all honesty Erwin, should we trust them?"
Erwin - "If what the past dictates, then yes, they're trustworthy as long as they see us as worthy."
Ashton - "I understand."
Erwin - "Unfortunately I must go Vildris, it has been interesting talking to an old friend turned enemy and yet back to friend again."
God's People United
After centuries of disunity, piracy, and all out warfare between the Orthodox Greeks and Slavs, a descendent of the great Tsar Miros has finished his campaign to unite all of them under one banner. His name is Gavrilo Konstantinopolites Romanov, a 27 year old with incredible military skill and intelligence. He is joined by his four dynastic relatives: Voulgaropoulos, his 35 year old brother, Berimir, a 22 year old distant relative, Anastasia, a 26 year old first cousin, and finally, his niece, the 18 year old Rhea. He has given each of them one planet to rule over, while he remains the Patriarch in the center.
*Smith nods, then starts pulling up contracts and papers on the holo-screen*
Smith- The Black Dagger Corps is offering all 456 for 45 Million Credits per year. However, if the Dominion is unable to pay such a hefty bill then The "Winged Hussars" would be a financially benefiting alternative at 235 ships for 4 Million Credits. As for mercenaries, we can send about 3 to 4 different contracts ranging from 300 - 500 soldiers to fill your navy. Disclaimer, we are not responsible for their training, rationing, and fees.
*Smith puts on some gloves and starts to remove thin, translucent papers from a briefcase. Fishing out a traditional fountain pen from his jacket, he hands it to Erathin.*
Smith- Sign here, here, and there. Your welcome to ask any questions about the contract.
System annexed: Neu Hesse
The second of the 1st Telonsivain Space Rush, the system west of Neu Wurttemburg has been annexed into the Empire. The citizens are encouraged to migrate to these new systems and help start a new era of Telonsiveus. For if we rebuild what we have lost, we shall rise up once again and we will leave an everlasting mark on the universe!
Zagreus: “That’s a possibility. But it wouldn’t make any sense: why would Persephone hire a terrorist attack on her own palace?”
Sisyphus: “To my knowledge, persephone was not present at the Palace that day.”
He squints at the contract for a moment. He presses a button on his mic, sending a picture of the contract. He waits for a response from his legal team.
Svetovid Romanov, the God
Among the various warring factions in what is now the Orthodox Empire, a man who was a very distant relative of the Vasilissa Rhea, was determined to make a name for himself and carve out his own empire. He was the most feared man in the area, and those loyal to him even gave him the name Svetovid, believing him to be the old Slavic god himself. His coffers are overflowing, and he is said to be richer than even the Tsar. After Gavrilo's unification of the realms, he disappeared, off into the far reaches of space with his private fleet. His last known location was near Nea Constantinople, and the citizens still are in fear of a potential attack.
Vildris - "I don't know if we're considered friends yet. But one less enemy to worry about is one less chance of destruction. Good day, I will inform you on if you are successful in your mission."
Madvark - "Interesting, does Persephone have something to hide now? Have you even spoken to her since that day?"
Zagreus: “Only briefly, aboard the Vessel of Frost before, we launched the ships.”
Map has finally been updated! Enjoy!
Oni looks at the Kisp with anger while Augus drags him out of the room. Deus and Ura look at it with a glare, and Belu-Be looks at it with nothing in his eyes.
Belu-Be - "I don't understand, but if it is more appealing to these two then I won't complain. You're still unable to touch the walls, and any attempt and I will drain you of your power."
Deus - "We don't need harshness in this situation Belu-Be."
Belu-Be - "Harsh would be silencing it before they can speak for themselves. I'm giving it the chance to speak, not to escape and cause mayhem in Polaris. We've asked questions and got answers with mixed feelings. What is it you want to know about us at this moment?"
Kindred:"At the moment, all I desire is access to your databanks. You may choose to section off portions from my access and only allow me to view what you deem permitable. What I desire is information of where you have developed both technologically and culturally so that this one may provide information and service to your desires and goals as best as possible."
They then make a small bow.
Kindred:"You have my most humble apologies for causing such discord among your persons."
Erwin - "Well, nonetheless, I'm grateful for the support. I will be seeing you around in the future I hope. Leaders should learn more diplomacy after all, wouldn't you agree?"
Erwin and his Killua begin marching back into his transport ship to return home. Erwin turns to Ashton.
Erwin - "People always say the Harbinger are stupid brutes. But those are people who never met one in person. They're smarter than most species in the universe."
Ashton - "I agree, wouldn't you five agree as well?"
Kassus - "They're smart is all I can say."
Ashton - "Haha, fair enough soldier."
Erwin departs back to home space!
Belu-Be looks down at his console as a ping signifying Erwin is returning. Belu-Be tightens his grip on his folded arms knowing that this is going to be complicated.
Belu-Be - "We can provide you on a complete copy of the IGU Library in Asutoraru, the largest library in the Union second to Polaris. However we will not give you Polaris access and we cannot guarantee that everything the library is true or to proportion. You can discern the difference yourself if you can."
Belu-Be takes out a library chip and sticks it into his terminal. A hologram computer opens up inside the containment unit.
Belu-Be - "You may use this to sift through it while we deal with a more pressing matter."
Deus - "And what is that?"
Belu-Be - "Erwin is returning."
Tension fills the room as the Deities and Unionarians begin to distrust each other!
As Kindred goes through the information she looks up at those gathered.
Kindred:"Erwin Smith... how interesting, I wonder if he will destroy me, imprison me, weaponize me, or treat me as an individual or at the very least a sentient resource."
The crystalline figure seems to be smiling even though it lacks a mouth.
Kindred:"So this is excitement... how quaint."
Asutoraru:
Erwin's ship lands in the Asutoraru capital buildings hangar. As Erwin walks out he gets greeted by Morando and Zackley.
Morando - "You've been requested to meet Belu-Be and the P.R.S.F in Polaris. The material has been studied and results are being processed. With interesting, whatever it is that's going on there."
Erwin - "Understood, Kane, James, check on the progress of Keshin Sekai while I'm gone."
James and Kane salute as Erwin turns around.
Erwin - "Get my ship ready for transport. Killua get some rest."
Erwin Smith is on his way to Polaris!
Kindred then turns facing a direction that upon examining Erwin's route they realize that Kindred seems to be following with their head movements the route Erwin is taking to come to the facility.
Kindred:"Asutoraru to Polaris... such a different route of travelling compared to the wings of the phoenix."
Belu-Be raises and eyebrow.
Belu-Be - "And what does that mean? And what are these 'wings' of Phoenix?"
Kindred:"The shape of the systems... the wings of the phoenix, the diamond of Azalith, the arc of the Orthodox Empire... you all chose shapes based on whatever territory you could claim or was advantageous."
Kindred then turns to face Belu-Be directly.
Kindred:"Surely you know this as well that the universe is built upon a pattern of chaos, that even in disorder there is reason, moreover in peace there is instability."
She lifts up her arm that seems to fracture into multiple pieces releasing high amounts of energy before reforming into an arm.
Kindred:"This crystal form is stable, yet should the shell be allowed to destabilize would release a chaotic blast of energy. Your mind is logical yet if treated in the right way you could be driven to madness. Nothing is invulnerable nor perfect, there will always be a weakness no matter how small for what is strength if not the inverse of weakness and vice versa."

new universal laws of physics, who dis
Belu-Be - "If we cannot comprehend it, then we make up for it by combining our minds. But that's only with facts, political and personal ideas are rejected if they don't make sense. For instance, the reason why Chimera and Draco-sapiens choose to be so different to Each other when they could universally evolve to keep itself more stable. The ideas of Phoenix's aesthetics are incomprehensibly stupid to us. Thus we reject them as a species as it is in our nature. You may find a weakness but rest assured, we correct out weaknesses and find ways around them."
Belu-Be places down his tablet.
Belu-Be - "In the same way we co-exist with our human brothers as Erwin calls. We understand that as a single entity of just Polarisudo we could never manage to keep relations with fellow nations. Thus we provide our brothers technology and knowledge in exchange for protection and diplomacy. A mutual relationship as Erwin says."
Belu-Be looks towards the figure.
Belu-Be - "We will become perfect beings someday. More so than even you, whether you are even remotely perfect or not. By our current circumstances, I'd say that you have a similar weakness to the Phoenixians."
Belu-Be presses a button and the gravity fluctuates. A singularity forms and half of the material is slipspaced into an adjacent containment unit.
Belu-Be - "Your rationality completely collapses when you split. Despite being the brain matter itself, it's as if you require more space and energy to function enough to speak to us."
Belu-Be presses the button again the Slip space opens again. The material is reunited with itself.
Belu-Be - "You've already made many mistakes in our presence. You revealed your number one weakness as an organism. You need vast amounts of energy to power your types of brains as well as more material and space to functionally use them. You're grounded in materials, but you fail to comprehend it. It's a mimic of your own power, not a perfect replica and so it has that as a failure. I would say that you outclass us in everything but the mind. You're a library you yourself can't traverse."
Deus - "Belu-Be, should you really be talking that way to a being of this power?"
Belu-Be - "Of course, it wants to talk about weaknesses, I'm talking about its weaknesses. If it takes them correctly then it could possibly fix itself. Maybe we can give them a body like yours. I'd say you're very similar to them in theory. However you're programmed by Ghidorah's nanometal so it's immediately superior. However if it is logical it can prove me wrong, buy something tells me it's afraid to condense itself because of Ghidorah's very existance. From my deductions, they know and are afraid of Ghidorah's existence. That or they're a puppet of Ghidorah itself. So, Kisp, what do you think of the Polarisudo so far?"
Kindred seems to be distracted for a moment allowing an arm to fall off and split into multiple other beings before turning her attention back to Belu-Be.
Kindred:"You Polarisudo have divorced yourself from the primal natures of yourself. In the methodology that to become civilized and abandon what biologically held your species back I would say you are approaching the perfection you seek. However, if judged by say the supposed 'primitive' standards of Earth's medieval period I would say you would have strayed from perfection. The ideal for functionality shifts as the universe turns, in that sense your adaptability makes you adequate as does the adaptability of all races that I have observed so far. You have reached a point where either you seek not to approach the fluid nature of Ghidorah or have others preventing you from doing so. As for the as you call them 'golden demise' we are not affiliated with him nor are we afraid of them as the conditions of this universe make it so we currently do not need to fear him. So then as my counter question."
At this the smaller versions reform back into an arm that re-attaches as she holds out a hand creating a small version of the singularity used against her making a small fragment appear in the nearby containment room. She then closes the singularity as the small fragment begins to grow into another fully grown instance of Kindred as both turn to Belu-Be and say simultaneously with one voice.
Kindred:"What is it you and your people desire of us?"
