A Zarethian starfighter appeared out of a portal around Ferrari and signalled down using it the secret "This is important, no questions just meet with us at these coordinates" signal. Which was, of course, what would sound like morse code to the Zarethians and Ferrari but would sound like what it meant to a Mechera. The message was followed with the coordinates to a blank space on the galactic map, no planets and only a dwarf star in the system. The fighter sent that twice and proceeded to portal out.

"My children! You are gathered here today to witness the execution of this so-called general. He attacked a civilian area in cold blood, claiming it to be 'uninhabited'!" Ra' Kath was hamming it up as he walked along the stage in the center of the town, brandishing his Sword of Order. two of his Shoggoth bodyguards stood on either side of the stage, chainswords drawn. "LIES! What kind of 'scouting party' drops EMPs before landing?! THE KIND THAT LIES!" he looked at the crowd of people before him. At first they hadn't cared too much for it. Very few lives had been lost in the attack earlier that month and it had mostly been forgotten. But now they were furious. Cries of 'KILL HIM!' and 'RIP 'IS GAWDAMED 'EAD AWF!' could be heard. Ra' Kath smiled. "You cried for justice! You screamed for revenge! You roared for blood" he was wearing black cloaked combat armor and boots from the waist down, and was bare from the waist up, allowing his red markings to be seen shining brightly. His face was also uncovered, but he was keeping the insanity in check. Instead of going mad those viewing his face would simply feel as if they were not worthy to see it, and would avert their eyes and look in hatred at the prisoner. Speaking of the prisoner, he was kneeling on the ground, chains on his hands legs and neck. He had been stripped bare of all possessions, and had a most of his biological functions halted by a poison. To top it all off, an AM field was active to prevent his using magic and the chains he was attached to were sending a steady pulse of electricity through his veins, keeping him in constant pain. "And so, being the benevolent Father that I am, I brought the one responsible for this crime here. And now he will PAY FOR HIS ACTIONS!" Ra' Kath raised the sword as it lit on fire. He brought it down upon the head of the general. The sword would cleave right through his head, and the fire on the sword would course through his veins burning him alive from the inside out. The crowd roared in triumph as the man died, painfully. Ra' Kath turned back to face his flock, covered in the man's blood, and raised his hand. The crowd fell silent. "Let this be a clear message to our enemies, and to all who think to challenge us. We will give you no mercy" With that, his shadow grew tentacles and enveloped him before melting into the floor, leaving no trace of the God-king. He would arrive back in his personal chambers in his palace, where Fah would be waiting for him. "Sir?"
The sword in Ra' Kath's hand dissipated as he wiped the blood from his face. "Yes Fah, what is it?"
Fah approached the Emperor, his left arm held out as he tapped a few things it's com pad. "It would appear the Zarethians stopped by, and they left us a message. With that, Fah pressed another button, playing back the message and coordinates.
"...Fah I don't know what that means" Ra' kath was breathing heavily which was odd for him, as he usually didn't need to breathe. He conjured a bottle of water and drank it all in one gulp.
"Basically sir, they want us to send some one to meet them there."
"Oh...Well alright then. Send the coordinates to Ralfzar and and tell him to get over there then."
"As you wish sire. Are you sure you would not like to accompany them?"
"Yes I'm sure.." Ra' Kath sat down, slumped, on one of his chairs. "I feel very tired right now"
"Very well sir" Fah left the room.
"Ra' Kath raised the hand he had been holding the sword with. It seemed to be fine now, but earlier it had been shaking. 'What the hell is going on?' he wondered to himself.
