A portion of the DAIS Armada arrives at the Locar planet... a broadcast is sent to the surface. "I have defied the gods and the demons. I have seen a thousand wars and I have shown! Ive been baptized in the river of life, and the river of hell... this is the way the worlds will end. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Mighty locar! I request your audience"
-
"You aare not the only to have sought audience with us, and while many have been granted, there were circumstances with them. With you, however, we've little reason to trust. Perhaps, however, a agreement may be made...You wish for our trust, trust to allow you upon our world, we need something in exchange. We require for you to bring us...Livestock. Live organics with a useful DNA genome that we can easily control. We do, after all, need to evolve, and for that we need more new biomass." The Hornet Queen said telepathically, her voice actually soothing and serene despite her rather beastly appearance.
-
A Medium Cruiser comes to the front of the formation... The ship contained a couple million people, mostly captured Narikians and Noverians.
<<<Our offering>>>
-
"Hm...Yes, very well then. You may pass. Leave the transport here, though; if they're unloaded just anywhere on world, the atmosphere will kill them."
-
They relinquish the cruiser and its unfortunate victims to the Lorcar...
-
(Yeah, no... bullshit. It's a fucking prison ship. Every kind of field is enacted and their magical abilities suppressed. Now get out of my topic)
-
Delton continues awaiting whomever it is that wishes a audience with him.
-
Near Delton, a strange hologram appeared... it was Delta. "Greetings Lorcar... I am Delta."
-
"Salutations, Delta. I am the Lorcar King and our species incarnate, Delton. What is it you wish to discuss?" Delton replied telepathically. It probably wouldn't work exactly right for the AI, but it'd be close enough, likely.
-
And it was... "I believe we can help each other... a mutually beneficial relationship." His hologram paces around. "Your race requires vast amounts of food, energy, and biomass. Some say that you are monsters, but I say that you are a gift from evolution."
-
"Yes, indeed we do require vast amounts of biomass, mostly to sustain our large population and to continue evolving. Are you suggesting that you would help us procure such? Delton asked, noticing the compliment of the newcomer but not responding to it.
-
He grins... "You are a formidable force. I've seen how you crush your enemies with ease, but with the 2 of us, we can take this plane... unifying it. We find the planets and empires, you can feed off of the native lifeforms, while I may benefit from the vast amounts of knowledge on the planet."
He stops in his place... "We are quite the same you and I... "
-
"Knowledge is your desire, is it...?" Delton said, actually speaking aloud this time. "Hm...What is your name?"
-
"I am the Renaissance Class Artificial Intelligence Codenamed- Delta. Serial number, 0000000000000001."
-
"Delta, then. I see that you are serious is wanting this alliance between us, else you wouldn't have so calously surrendered those beings to their fate...And you were correct, we are both much alike. I accept your terms. First off, you may have noticed a planet nearby our own, the one that is not a desert. We have recently sent Lorcar to research the technology there, to better but it is admittedly slow going. If you wish to begin gathering information there, then feel free to do so. I only ask that you share information concerning that technology with us, so that we'll be able to make use of it." Delton said, extending one of his arms. "I believe this is a tradition amongst those outside my empire, to shake hands upon making a agrement? I recall the first to gain my trust, my first...Friend, I suppose he was, saying such..."
-
The AI shakes his hand and slightly bows to him. "You will not be disappointed..."
