The same five ships that had arrived at Fioa, including the one that contained Lucien and the escort of a capital ship making it actually six ships would appear near the Mega-Lith and send out a transmission. We were told to come here to make an alliance with the Fioans?
-
Feel free to dock in Station F, a diplomat will be with you shortly.
-
As instructed, the frigate containing Lucien would dock, with two others. The remaining ones would remain outside, and would wait. If the others did not come out in one hour they had orders to call for a Sub Titan to come and blast the Megalith to Guano. Lucien would once the ship docked change into his diplomatic attire, a silver uniform with black gauntlets and black boots and a black overlay. On his arm would be a MWCA and he would walk out of the ship to meet the diplomat.
-
He was greeted by a Fioan wolf male wearing a suit "It has been decreed by our King that your talks will be with him personally. We ask that you do not carry any weapons upon meeting the King. If you do not agree to this condition you are free to return to your ship and leave. If it transpires you are or were carrying anything considered a weapon during your talk with the King it will be considered an act of War against the Fioan Kingdom. Do you agree to this condition?"
-
Lucien looked at the device on his arm and then spoke in narrikian to it. MWCA decouple command code 004290328904220. Once he spoke it the MWCA would pop off of his arm and he would hand it to one of the guards behind him. Considering that, Lucien would say to him. "At least one of my guards must come with me and be armed for reasons that the emperor of the Neo Narrikian Empire has decreed with the rising presence of the Anrufe across the dimension." Lucien would also slide off the other equipment he had, a certain piece of wind storm academy tech and hand it back. Other than that, he had no weapons on him. "But yes, I'll agree to the condition personally. The only thing I am carrying other than that happens to be inside of me. It boosts my strength and speed slightly, but not by much more than it would normally be. The device is wired into me...and cannot be removed."
-
The envoy spoke into a radio for a moment in Fioan and received a response "Your guard may carry one weapon of choosing. While the King is confident you wouldn't assault him personally his advisers are worried as you would expect." If they accepted this they would be led into a golden chamber full of red banners and generally lavish decor.
There was a royal oak table in the middle of this room with King Psiko Strand sat at one end and various Fioan foods placed out before them. He motioned for Lucien to sit down.
Psiko looked surprisingly well for a man who had been managing a rather successful empire for the past 8 years, he looked almost completely unchanged with his great golden wings on display.
-
Lucien looked older and more mature. Streaks of silver by choice had appeared in his hair and he wore a white and red uniform that had never been seen before, not new tech just custom tailored for diplomacy and one that had been made out of durable fabrics. Going over to the seat and sitting down as his guard remained behind him clad in a new technology that doubled both as weapon and defense at the same time Lucien would pull out a PDA and ask Psiko. "Have you heard of the Wind Storm Academy yet or not? Due to the Mech capabilities I have seen your people possess, and have informed Emperor Celso about..he has decided to extend an invitation to some of the students on your planet should they wish to come to the Academy." The PDA would be slid across the table and contain information on the Wind Storm Academy, that it was training the next line of defense for the dimension. The K Empire and Zarethians as well were funding the project along with the Neo Narrikian Empire presently, but this was a chance for the Fioans to get on board. "Emperor Celso is also offering you a chance to have your own teachers join the academy prefferably some of them being retired soldiers."
"Furthermore as a sign of trust Emperor Celso has authorized me to give you schematics for the Wind Storm Academy, should you wish to open one of them in your space as well to help out with the project." Pulling a card out of his pocket Lucien would take out a second PDA and insert it and the mechanical voice of Lucien Dolos, Admin 002 recognized would come from the PDA. This PDA contained the more secretive information on the Wind Storm Academy that was not known to the general public and was somewhat special. "But, if I do give you this information Emperor Celso personally has requested that you not put it on any of your computer systems so that certain parties you have met before, AI Delta don't get wind of the Academy."
-
The second Lucien began speaking, Psiko raised a hand "Hello to you too, sir." He sighed "My name is King Psiko Strand, King of the Fioans. Now do continue." He stated and then listened intently to what Lucien had to say "I've not heard of this Wind Storm Academy myself, no. We have our own Mages Guild which tutors our magical students." He sat back for a moment "I must ask though, why your good Emperor hasn't come here himself to meet with me. I must also ask you to verify that you are infact the one true version of yourself..." He then added "Sadly I have had issues in the past with people sending clones to come to meet me, they tend to be slightly less attached to their own life, much more willing to attack me." He sighed
-
Lucien would smile at the King of Fioa. So the Lord of this planet did need information or proof that Lucien was not a clone. Well then that could be easily generated and so Lucien scanned the area real quick looking for any of the Guards of Psiko or not. "What form of proof would be acceptable to prove that I am not a clone? Also Emperor Celso has a very busy schedule. As for the Wind Storm Academy, Emperor Celso would like to recruit 20-25 of your best and brightest to attend, assuming you wish them to because the K Empire and Zarethians already attend. You could send some soldiers as well if you want, to keep an eye on the place. The only restriction is that they would not be allowed to transmit the exact coordinates of the place."
-
"If you would allow for a simple scan of your spirit it would allow me to know." Psiko motioned to the food "Please, eat. I had it prepared for your arrival." He sat back in his throne-like chair "I shall deliberate with my advisors upon the Wind Storm Academy"
-
Lucien would nod. Any scans of his essence would reveal that he was not a clone. Nor was he a construct. It was for all intensive purposes the real Lucien, yet something was different about his essence, different than that of a normal Narrikian. It was like he had evolved even beyond Ancient Narrikian somehow and gone beyond their power. Taking some of the food, Lucien would eat it. "Also, Emperor Celso would like to have you talk with the AI known as Delta...and convince it to withdraw the listening stations it has somehow. "
-
Psiko sighed "You know, I have many of these requests a day" He leant back in his chair "I can talk to Delta about it but I cannot guarantee anything. Especially when it comes to you Narrikians. I will never understand why he hates you all so, you're just so interesting" He laughed a little "Do you enjoy it? It is a Fioan Delicacy, Hoofbeast Roast they call it"
-
"Yes...it does taste delicious."
"And I think he hates us due to Paranoia."
Lucien would look over at Psiko, and ask him.
"So...your people are experts at mecha technology right? If so Emperor Celso might have a big project that would provide hundreds of jobs for the Fioans if they would be willing that is. Of course said project would be difficult to make. "
So he would pause for a moment and await a response.
-
"Certainly not experts, no." Psiko smiled "We are but a blip in the grand radar of the universe"
-
Lucien's communicator would go off. Suddenly he would receive information of an unknown Narrikian on Fioa in this sector. This warranted investigation. But the NNE did not have authority here and so Lucien would ask King Psiko. "Also King Psiko, our long range sensors at Providence have picked up a Narrikian life form not registered in our data bases on your planet. Do you mind if a squad is sent to check things out? Just to be sure there is no illicit schemes by the Anrufe involving Narrikian DNA on your planet or similar...that is. "
The guard came and whispered into Lucien's ear that he had to get to the school soon.
"Also if you want a tour of the WSA, I'd be happy to take you."
-
"Do you not trust us?" Psiko smiled "You know, we have tourists of many races daily"
-
"Not that I don't trust you. Recently some influential men have died and Celso is having some people investigate...to try and find out if they had heirs, apprentices or what not and bring them to Providence for questioning. Unfortunately locating those people is proving to be somewhat of a difficulty at present, and an irritation at best while he is away on business elsewhere." Lucien did not add that Celso was participating in the Excel Tournament now and that he had been sent the key (an implement not of tech that would allow him to control the planet in Celso's absence) a few seconds ago. "So King Psiko, are you up for a tour of the Wind Storm Academy?"
-
"Alas I have duties to attend to" Psiko smiled to Lucien "However I will consider your offer."
-
With a nod, Lucien would exit the room and then go to his soldiers. "Take the ship back. I have other matters to attend to elsewhere." His guard would follow him out and Lucien would teleport away, he had research to do now.
