The Zarethians were valued allies to possess and even more so to have on the plan to eliminate, to crush and to obliterate the terrorist cell known as the Anrufe. As the Anrufe had promised them no mercy, none was going to be given to the Anrufe or the DAIS by the Narrikians. For this very reason a squad of 10 diplomat type VE were sent to Teffilin via teleportation. Each was escorted by 2 Commanders given authority to use lethal force. The VE was tech that the Zarethians had never seen before?ever. The diplomats were here to get the Zarethians and Castle Marks to help with a project that could perhaps even out the odds against the terrorist cell known as the Anrufe should the experiment work. These units were dubbed Feet since they were not like Silas, or Ryan or even Jeff, Nicholas or anyone else. Their assignment was a low ranking but vital mission in this case.

"Where can we find the group known as the Zarethian Council?"

The everday Zoe usually passed around his route without too many interruptions but quite a few were perturbed by this odd robotic individual. Most ignored it. Many shrugged at it. Others simply said "In the capitol".

The VE which were not robots by any means, but artificial intelligences by a different name started towards the Capital. Frustrated at the slow speed of going one of the commanders nodded to the others. They all grabbed their charges on the shoulders and teleported...straight to the Capital City of the planet. There the commanders began to search in order to find the person in charge of the planet. For only through them could this mission be accomplished.

Their presence was no different then that of many other visitors of the capitol. Most were pointed towards the capitol building, a significantly ornate mass of old-empire marble.

The VE of the Commander Series had no visible weapons but it was obvious they were not someone you wanted to cross on the battle field. Each of the Commander Series of the VE kept an eye on the diplomat series of the VE in order to keep them safe. Partly this was because of orders but in part because this batch of VE was from the same batch and had been chosen for that very reason. They headed towards the capital building. Search of the Commander Series VE was going to reveal no weapons on their person, but that they could make weapons if needed. The diplomatic series was helpless in combat situations unlike the Commander Series which knew quite a lot about battling. The Commander Series all wore black and gray body suits with the new symbol of the Narrikian Empire, now led by Ryan Deanc and called the Narrikian Collective on them. Approaching the guards they said. "We would like to have a meeting with the Zarethian Council."

The rather bored looking secretary pointed them to seats along the lobby without even looking at them.
"Get in line." She droned. "It'll be about thirteen hours."

The Commander Series got in line with the Diplomat Series and waited. They waited and then when getting irritated with the wait waited some more. The diplomat series of the VE were connected to PDAS by the commander series so they could recharge. The Scholar Series plugged into the wall outlets and wirelessly began to thief energy to power themselves up with. The Commander Series did not need a recharge because they were up to the maximum amount of charge for their nature. The Commander Series realized that this mission could be one of their most difficult ones yet.

Once they began to charge they had a certain energy limit. After they used that limit, the charge outlet no longer gave them any power. These outlets were mostly for pocket devices, not robotic or AI individuals. As such, they would be poorly charged. Slowly the line moved along, hours passed and then they were finally about to be admitted. And then the power went out.

"Sorry guys, it looks like the Council had some plans. Come back tomorrow." The secretary said, sounding as bored as ever.

The Commander Series of the VE went through the logic database and searched for the appropriate literary device to describe the feelings it had about the Council having plans after they had waited 13 hours with no stops whatsoever. The VE however refrained and exited the building in a single file line and all of them appeared to disappear back to their homes. But in reality they were sleeping near the building and recharging off of lunar and solar energies so they could perhaps be ready. They were just cloaked using the FIG system that had been designed that made them able to use illusions. Since it was new technology computers and people likely could not detect their presence there. The next morning the Commander Series woke up at 4 Am and started working out while the Diplomat and Scholar series slept up until six am. They then waited until the building opened up and prepared to enter.

They realized that they were not the only ones sleeping outside the Council building. There was already a line across the street from people waiting, with more teleporting in all the time. Someone opened the door and most of these people went rushing in.

Zero · « **Reply #10 on:** December 03, 2012, 08:26:03 PM »

Before the rest could rush in, the VE had ALREADY entered.

They headed right up to the door that should lead to the council chamber area.

Each Commander Spoke in binary.

"101038249048202834023843208. " (Translated. Query should we bust door down?)

"5o0280432042380022380342823408." (Negative, it would lead to more trouble.)

"603480348030-580583035808538. " (Let's be patient.)

The VE waited patiently for the people so they could get in to see the Zarethian Council. Hopefully it was not going to be a 13 or longer hour wait otherwise they'd come to blows with the person who told them to wait that long. The diplomat and scholar series was also waiting nearby.

Luckily for them, most of these people were just workers. They were first in line. They were told the council would see them.
They were led through to the "Council Chambers" which was actually just a room where thirteen large hologram projectors could be stored. It was well lit and clinically white.

The VE of the Commander Series stepped aside pushing the diplomats to the front. The diplomats wore clothes that were obviously Narrikian, but unlike anything that the Zarethian Council had seen. "Honored members of the Zarethian Council, the continued presence of the dare we say Terrorist Cell known as the Anrufe has grown to be a plague. With your permission, 1 person from your empire will be selected as part of an Inter-Empire Task Force to eliminate the terrorist cell known as the Anrufe. In addition the Narrikians are now under new management, that of Ryan Deanc?former member of the Consul Guard, and Former Senator. A lot has changed in the Narrikian Collective and we were assigned to renew and rewrite the alliance between the Zarethians and the Narrikians. Does the idea of the Inter Empire Task Force seem acceptable?" The commander series and scholar series of VE remained silent, letting the diplomatic series do the talking.

"Have we not dealt the Anrufe a serious and fatal blow with the help of our Mechera allies?" Asked one councilor.
"And what help would one person be in a task force?" asked another.

Zero · « **Reply #14 on:** December 03, 2012, 08:43:34 PM »

"You have not dealt them a Fatal blow for they are still around. They still have someone who seems to possess the body of Assassin, but the skills of their operative known as Kia B. We are not sure how many others they would be. As for having one person, three candidates from the Narrikians have already enrolled in the Task Force. You are one of the empires that a representiative is being chosen from on the Task Force. The Zarethians are known to be good at computer and science stuff, so from you it was decided to select one of your best tech experts to help out. As for killing them off, yes they have lost Ground Island, and Citadel. However they still have fight within them with their fleet still in existence. As we speak, we are preparing countermeasures to deal with the majority of their remaining worlds. Unfortunately one thing does stand in the way of that, the DAIS Armada. With them involved because of their ties to Grunder Industries it is assumed they are in possession of the bio weapons of Grunder and have worked on those weapons. From that assumption it is clear that a group comprised solely of Narrikians will not make the cut in the long run. Minister of War Silas Night has assigned us to choose out one of your tech experts if they are willing and you will allow it to become part of the task force. They will be paid quite well. "

The diplomats then waited.

"Only three people in a task force? Sounds more like a squad." Scoffed a councilman.

"The DAIS fleet was taken out of the picture at the battle for Duerme. Very few survived the massacre." The other councilman pointed out.

"Tell that to this."

One of the diplomats sent a code into the computer that displayed the events of the attempt of the Narrikians giving the Anrufe a chance to move all of their civilians off world. The drone they had been sent had been told that the Anrufe and Dais were never going to stop, and then had been destroyed. The other diplomat series thought about it.

"It is a small squad, yes. But it is meant to get in, get the job done and get out. Ever heard of Guerilla WarFare? hitting and running? This is the purpose of the Task Force. Hit the Anrufe hard, retreat, repeat. Each time hitting them in a critical area. With your permission one of your number will be chosen to become part of the permanent solution to the Anrufe."

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #17 on:** December 03, 2012, 08:55:54 PM »

"I believe you may be overestimating your chances of succeeding like that. Guerrilla Warfare against guerrilla warfare does not seem like a viable strategy. We all have more ships then they do. We can simply bombard he planets from orbit." One councilor shrugged.

Zero · « **Reply #18 on:** December 03, 2012, 09:02:27 PM »

The diplomats considered this and discussed things with the Commanders. Their mission apparently was not meant to succeed. The diplomats looked at each other and nodded. All possibly needed was to wait, let the Zarethians and the Mechera and the Vionix kill the Anrufe, and then swoop in to claim the rewards of such. "Very well, we shall now depart with this information to Silas. " At that all the VE exited the chambers and teleported off planet.

One councilman looked at the other. "What a strange person." He said, before shrugging and sipping his tea.
