"more o' less a few idea dat we could throw around. If ye have netrons stars in yer territory wee vuld pay to get tha right ta mine dem and ye vuld get quality material outta it. Doubly so for any star able ta support a new nidhavellir, albeit, it would need intensive survey ta find one. Also wee could help install a wormgate network in tha imperium. It would be faster an' cheaper dan warp travel, at least within' tha imperium territory"

Primarch Horus Lupercal:"My father will be very interested in that. Once your people have joined the Imperium, expect him to pay a personal visit."
El Muro, leader of the Crimson Axis security. kicks open Amber's door as he marches in with a few soldiers.
"Find the scientist Amber. She is important to our project..."
"aye....I guess dat will be all."
"I am a prototype mine manager AI. I have named myself Darrow, after the mine manager I put this."
It holds up the massive jackhammer, running it for a second.
"Through his chest before taking the rest of the mine for myself. Don't worry, I won't be doing the same for you. Ah, beards. I always envied the ability to grow a beard. No matter how useless, it seems to make oneself more imposing."
[TIMESKIP!!!!!!11!!!1!]
A few month later, i wiew of the whole of the imperium and dwarven territory, the council voted for the integration of the dwarven confederacy to the imperium. Soon enough Durin Odinson will go to holy terra to sign the treaty uniting the two nations
aye. Wee take good care o' it. It's a dwarven tradition ya know. We also have crafting traditions too. Tha allow us ta build hammers that can kill tanks or toha machine. Lahk dis one in ma hand
There, representing the Imperium, finally out of his isolation, was the Emperor of Mankind himself, resplendent in his glory. The Master of Mankind, in his golden power armor made even the Primarchs look small in comparison. As he bent to sign the treaty, using an ancient quill, saved for eons untold, his massive hand nearly hiding the tip of the feather, he speaks. His voice is powerful, commanding, yet still human.
-
The Emperor:"On this day, yet another long lost fragment of humanity finds itself reunited with its kin. Let none forget this momentous occasion."
"Durin climbed the stairs to the treaty's support to sign the treaty. Using the same quill he signed on the on the treaty the declared "kin with kind facing tha future. A prosperous one among tha stars. Aye it is signed and carved in stone !"
applause was heard across those stars
With the signing of the hence known 'Treaty of Ursh', for that was where is was signed, the Dwarven Confederacy was integrated into the wider Imperium as an autonomous vassal state. One Maximillian von Hartsbach was appointed by the Emperor himself as Lord Governor of the newly created Segmentum Hephastion, although his authority was limited to that granted him by the Dwarven Council.
- | When the creature would approach the Anomaly it would seem to be confused on the nature of such an object if there was something or someone watching it they would see it franticly move around the base of the stalk several times, seeming to be looking for something in particular while in reality it was attempting to find those electronic signals it was once searching for instead only finding this stalk in question. |
| It would pace around the base of the stalk for some time, before standing up on it's hind legs with a quick motion it would stab into the stalk, being able to obtain a portion of its outer layer, now beginning to examine the sample in which it had gotten searching for any genetic structures in which it would match with a list of varied planetary fauna, any searches came up as negative and as before it would lose it's interest and attempt to seek out another nearby electronic signal. |
| Now curious of it's own surroundings it would utilize a wide method of sensory glands to look around the environment it was within for anything else of major interest |
"You have a deal, and it will be done." Radiance would float over a small tablet and float it within her reach, a small stylus floating up as well. "Sign this and it will be officialized."
"This is noted. I hope I am capable of providing aid to you in the future. If you ever have need of defensive aid, I am there."
By this point, a larger logistics vessel would have likely arrived at the coordinates, though it still moved with the ethereal grace and silence of the scout ship. Any gravitic sensors could not pick the ship up for one reason or another, but yet it was there, silent and unmoving, white hull shining against the backdrop.
"Recently, we Sakoorans have come across a massive fractured ringworld, not terribly far from your space. It doesn't have a name, but we Sakoorans designate it as Omega-00."
(Yeah, I couldn't help but think of Xus when I think about the Dwarves and their ringworld)
"aye. Maybe we'll do tha same ta ye. Good luck in yer endaevor"
it indeed immediatly catch bofur's interest "E ringworld ? Like tha megatructure ones ?"
"Indeed, Mr. Bofur. Constructed around a star system. It even boasts its own primitive lifeforms. However, it was shattered sometime in the past and its surface has remained airless and barren. The Sovereign has a small outpost there, but nothing more. The structure is absolutely enormous!"
"What makes her kind as peaceful as it is? On the Ringworld we hear of distant things happening in other Segments through messages carried by the Segment Celium. They speak of violence, of peace, of many things. What makes her kind followed such a trait?"
It was mostly the same signals that emanated from the crust. However, there was an anomaly amongst them: A larger, more root-like electrical cable, wire, or whatever these things were made itself apparent. It started off as a point where many of the fibers coalesced into a larger one. This root extended quite a ways off in the distance. In a visual sense there was also clear signs of artificial tampering. Dirt and rock that had been disturbed like if someone had dug a trench out and then filled it back in. Such a feat could not have been done by the sessile and photosynthetic organism. Rather, there had to be some kind of intelligent creature that had done this for one reason or another.
Farther off
The Celium had jolted in response, sending a signal down the roots and into another fruiting body. This one, however, was just by the abode of an intelligent creature. It slithered it's way out of the circular doorway, flashing patterns of light at the fungal thing to speak it's message. The message was primitive and conditioned, but informative nonetheless. Something had attacked a fruiting body Perimeterwards. It was likely a hostile Kin, one sent to kill him or one who had come to steal.
King Crimson would not tolerate this.
"aye, tank for dat information, vee'll check it out"
"Of course, and if you need anything else, please do not hesitate to call."
"aye. Same to ye. Good luck !"
"The Lapsians have always been rather communal in nature, always working together and such. Yes, her kind have been in several wars in the past, even before our arrival. But, peace was always held. Even in the age of space travel, few actively partake in the military. Most are miners, scholars, diplomats, and scientists. Cynthia is one of those few who don't mind fighting in wars."
