       Myrsa gave a sardonic smile to Zagara considering Kilysa's great
       mistake, suddenly with a snap of her fingers a guard brought a
       small holographic device before the two empresses "Of course and
       we can 'interrogate' Lord Martael, he is a subject of mine and
       he will comply. However, no matter how disrespectful his action
       was, he broke no law  ...he had every right to give temporary
       custody of the device as long as Kilysa remained in his lands -
       where upon my order she would have to hand the device over to me
       - ...therefore it was your daughter that broke the law by
       deciding to part the empire with it."
       The guard opens the holographic device  ...Lord Ator appears
       sitting in his throne, upon seeing the Talmyr he rises and
       kneels.
       Lord Ator assumes a clear, cold, but also quite polite tone as
       he speaks "What is it that you wish from me Unburnt One?"
       Myrsa: "You know precisely what I wish from you Lord Martael.
       What you did and said warrants retribution, but for know we
       would like to ask a few questions regarding Queen Kilysa..."
       Ator: "What warrants retribution and by whom is debatable your
       greatness. Nevertheless  ...I am at your disposal."
       Myrsa turns to Zagara "You may proceed fellow Talmyr..."
       (plot twist: Kilysa will wreck them all with the device and
       become Queen of the Universe!  :P )

       - ...therefore it was your daughter that broke the law by
       deciding to part the empire with it."
       Zagara remained silent but was thinking rapidly, trying to
       determine what caused Kilysa to leave, & if all of this was
       planned. Perhaps this was destined to happened, just like with
       the Chrymerions, Kilysa completely changed their lives forever
       awakening their latent psionic abilities. Everywhere she goes
       she changes whatever destiny her new friends would have had.
       This proves my theory though, that there a beings more connected
       with psionic energies then others, like that dragon creature. I
       will need to take some personal to train & understand my new
       powers & time with Kilysa to understand hers.
       The guard opens the holographic device  ...Lord Ator appears
       sitting in his throne, upon seeing the Talmyr he rises and
       kneels.
       Lord Ator assumes a clear, cold, but also quite polite tone as
       he speaks "What is it that you wish from me Unburnt One?"
       Myrsa: "You know precisely what I wish from you Lord Martael.
       What you did and said warrants retribution, but for know we

       Ator: "What warrants retribution and by whom is debatable your
       greatness. Nevertheless  ...I am at your disposal."
       Myrsa turns to Zagara "You may proceed fellow Talmyr..."
       Zagara Glared at Ator: “Im not certain how Ghashyr handle such
       things, so if Talmyr Myrsa allows it I will mine through your
       mind & memories, If you don’t resist there will be no pain but
       the more you resist the more I will restrain you resulting in
       pain, but don’t worry I will only look at memories pertaining to
       my daughter, everything else will remain private."
       (plot twist: Kilysa will wreck them all with the device and
       become Queen of the Universe!  :P )
       (Lol, I have to admit I had an idea like that but she wouldn’t
       do that, some of her other sisters would
       ----------- Rith’Zerlon -----------
       Kilysa, Taknul, & M’dRyyl carefully put the device back together
       once they have a better understand of how it works.
       M’dRyyl: “Kilysa, what are you hoping to do with this device.”
       Kilysa: “I want to build a counter measure that absorbs
       radiation & toxins.”
       Taknul: “We already have Energy Harvesters such would be a waste
       of time, we could figure out how to use this in space battles
       since we are starting to use mechanical components in our
       ships.”
       Kilysa: “It’s not for the Swarm Taknul it’s for the Ghashyr.
       Taknul: “Kilysa, doing all this for creatures outside the swarm
       we should at least learn from & use it ourselves.”
       M’dRyyl: “Not to be rude but I think we are getting ahead of
       ourselves, we need to do some more analysis & possibly trial
       runs to be sure we understand this technology.”
       Taknul: “Mother would never allow trial runs of something like
       this, at least not in Xelia’Dur, there are 4 other star systems
       chosen for the swarm to expand to once this one has been
       fortified, I suggest going to one of the systems at the edge of
       Nuzeikurga. I’ll stay here & keep watch on the drones & out for
       mother, you to go.”
       Kilysa & M’dRyyl quickly left for the northern edge of
       Nuzeikurga.

       Lord Ator raised his left eyebrow: "Your greatness, while this
       would be an insult to my honour and integrity I have nothing to
       fear; I accept  ...anyway, why don't you better ask your noble
       and brave daughter, Queen Kilysa? She made a hard choice but it
       was the best available one."
       Myrsa interrupts shouting angrily "IT WAS NOT HER CHOICE TO
       MAKE!" she then makes a few steps backwards to relax and with a
       hand signal she nods to Zagara to proceed with her mind-reading
       staff.
       Myrsa's brother approaches Shyr with one quarter of the
       Valxaryen fleet, soon his dreadnaught covers the sky of Shyr's
       moon "Gal", home of house Galgatyen. A meeting is about to take
       place there ..secretly from the Talmyr. The royal dreadnought
       lands in a small landing pod in Galgatys, out of it the young
       prince of the empire rushes out full of rage along with a
       handful of paladins by his side  ..on the other side a very old
       Ghashyr with a prosthetic silver arm and wearing a white crown
       adorned with crescents stands calm, Lord Ogradax Galgatyen
       "Halfhand", he is surrounded by various lords and soldiers all
       dressed in green.
       Prince Malkhor bows to the great Moon-lord "Thank you for
       accepting me Lord Ogradax, may you live a thousand years!"
       Ogradax bows as well and with his soft, deep voice welcomes the
       prince "Please, it is you that honour us with your presence
       Prince Malkhor...  ...may I ask why you demanded that this
       meeting be done in secret?"
       Prince Malkhor walks steadily and slowly towards the old lord,
       his long red cape contrasts with the Green atmosphere of the
       Shyrite moon "I fear that the integrity of the Empire is at
       stake Lord Ogradax; The aliens have been manipulating us right
       from the start and my sister, the Talmyr, chooses to ignore this
       in favour of her 'diplomacy'. I need your support in forcing the
       Talmyr to change the course that the Empire has taken regarding
       the aliens, as you can see in the sky I already have the support
       of House Valxaryen  ...what we need to do is march in Shyr and
       place our demands to the Talmyr; A ban on any and all further
       information exchanges, as well as the extradition of Kilysa to
       Imperial authorities."
       Ogradax: "This is too much you ask of me Prince, the Talmyr's
       word is divine command."
       Malkhor: "It may be so, but sometimes even the gods need proper
       counseling. It is important that we provide said counseling, for
       the common good of our species and laws. We cannot let
       foreigners steal our technology and weapons and remain
       unpunished."
       Ogradax remains sceptical for a while only to nod favourably a
       few seconds later "Very well, I will march with you to Shyr
       ...However, I will not risk a civil war if the Talmyr rejects
       our demands."
       The old moon-king quickly orders his generals to prepare an
       invasion fleet. Soon the Sky of Gal is filled with spaceships
       bearing the Valxaryen Dragons and the Galgatyen Crescent.

       Zagara: “Not to worry Lord Ator, I was testing you, by offering
       your memories willingly you’ve shown honour & integrity, Formics
       stand by memories much like Ghashyr stand by their word. I
       believe you’re telling the truth, thank you. Unfortunately I
       will not know Kilysa’s reasons for her actions until I see her,
       but either way she will face penalties whose harshness is yet to
       be determined, now Talmyr Myrsa how can we salvage our
       agreement.”
       Myrsa's brother approaches Shyr with one quarter of the
       Valxaryen fleet, soon his dreadnaught will cover the sky of
       Shyr's moon "Gal", home of house Galgatyen. A meeting is about
       to take place there ..secretly from the Talmyr.
       The Formic Fleet orbiting Shyr detect a large unknown vessel &
       its company. The Head Hive Guardian alerts Zagara psionically.
       Hive Guardian: “My Dear Queen a large vessel with an unknown
       fleet approaches.”
       Zagara: “Thank you dear, keep watch on them, note their
       movements carefully, we will be leaving soon as possible,
       contact Unar & Lafash, tell them to leave the Sol meeting & make
       their way just outside Ghashyr space, we will meet them before
       we head home.”
       The Hive Guardian sends the message to the Twins, The Hive
       Carriers all keep watch on the fleet strategically positioning
       Zagara to Myrsa: “Talmyr, my Hive Guardians has alerted me that
       a fleet is approaching I assume it’s one of yours?”
       ----------------Nuzeikurga Northern Quadrant-------------------
       Kilysa & M’dRyyl found a barren planet still in its development
       stages to test the device.
       M’dRyyl modified on of the Ion Cannons on Kilysa’s ship to dig
       deep into the planet’s surface.
       After the dig several drone fighters flew down to the bottom of
       the hole & dug out a dome using the bottom of the hole as its
       base. After they were finished a single soldier drone crawled
       out of its fighter & placed the device down.
       Kilysa took command of the drone & started the device.

       Lord Ator bows respectfully to Zagara "I appreciate your trust
       Talmyr Zagara" and turns to Myrsa: "Is there anything more that
       you wish of me Unburnt One? As much as I adore the view of Shyr
       through a hologram I have important matters to attend to your
       greatness."
       The Empress ignores Ator for a moment and responds calmly to
       Zagara "While this is a difficult situation, I believe that
       everything can be solved   ...we will discuss this shortly." She
       then turns full of fury and closes up to Ator's holographic
       figure with her finger pointing "Yes, there actually is
       something  ...consider my marriage proposal to you cancelled,
       also expect further repercussions for your actions in Remelax"
       Ator: "With all due respect but I think this cancelation is for
       the best, you actually remove a huge burden of me refusing your
       greatness. As for the repercussions, instead I'd prefer if your
       greatness explained to me why one of the Frontier colonies was
       still held hostage by the means of a machine put there by
       Valxaryens during the Great War..."
       Myrsa pulled her cape dramatically and in a cold as ice tone
       started talking back to the Frontierer Lord "Lord Martael,
       you're in no position to make accusations of any shorts  ..even
       if the device was put there by my kin - which is debatable,
       considering Remelax was occupied by all three Houses of the
       Alliance of Shyr - we, living and breathing Valxaryens had no
       knoweledge about this. On the contrary, your recent traitorous
       actions demand retribution in blood, but I shall show divine
       mercy ...for now."
       Lord Ator kneels, however his eyes are fixed to the young
       Empress as if giving a promise to seek revenge. The hologram
       soon fades away.
       Zagara to Myrsa: “Talmyr, my Hive Guardians has alerted me that
       a fleet is approaching I assume it’s one of yours?”
       Myrsa seems apathetic to the news "Yes, I have been informed
       through a pulsar message in my combox by the Shyrite Guard that
       my brother approaches with a backwater Valxaryen fleet. Worry
       not, while not one of the most clever Ghashyr, my brother is not
       suicidal, he merely loves to make dramatic entrances. He will
       arrive shortly I imagine..."
       Rysannox rushes through the main hall with guards following him,
       he seems awfully worried: "Your greatness, unburnt One   ....I
       am ashamed to inform you of this   ...but, my father, Lord
       Ogradax follows Prince Malkhor to Shyr with the whole Moonfleet
       in cloak. I assure you my loyalty rests with you Talmyr, even if
       my kin's doesn't  ...but I am certain my father will not risk to
       wreck our good relations, I will personally make sure this does
       not happen."
       Myrsa's dark Urvan skin changes to an Othosian's pale grey:
       "T-there is no need to worry Lord Rysannox, I know you are loyal
       to me  ...inform your father to stop cloaking his fleet and
       demand that he explains this inexplicable behaviour at once
       ...also give orders for the Throne Fleet around Shyr to only
       allow the flagships to land in Shyr." Myrsa seems worried and
       confused  ..she puts her hands over her head for a few seconds
       and takes a deep breath.

       Rokarr speaks to her mom psionically: “Mom cloaked ships reminds
       me of one of the battles before Lusitania do we need to
       prepare.”
       Zagara to Rokarr: “The Hive Carriers are already in position,
       all Battle ships, Cruisers, & Fighters are on standby, also Unar
       & Lafash are on their way to the edge of Ghashyr space, we are
       ready for escape or battle, but our priority is to ensure the
       younglings safety, but im certain there will be war amongst the
       Ghashyr, & it appears it was just a matter of time even without
       Kilysa’s help.”
       As Myrsa spoke to Rysannox a single Soldier drone came into the
       hall handing Zagara a curious looking device.
       Zagara with the device in one hand waits a few moments before
       walking up to Myrsa
       “Talmyr Myrsa, I recognize such actions, war is coming, & to
       help make up for Kilysa’s actions & aid you in the battles to
       come I would like to present this to you if you will accept it,
       if you do accept it I will need a sample of your dna in order
       for you to use it.”
       Zagara holds her hand out presenting this.

       Kilysa & M’dRyyl closely observe the effects of the device on
       the planet. The atmosphere is not as thick as on Remelax but
       there are still fire storms being generated.
       Kilysa’s 2 Energy Harvesters sense the radiation & crawl out of
       the ship to go feed on it.
       Watching the effects of the device Kilysa starts feeling more
       determined to help the frontiers heal their planets, she hopes
       her mother will understand.

       The empress while looking exhausted, sad and stressful calms
       down for a moment and smiles at Zagara "...That is most kind of
       you. It looks like an ornament  ...what does it do?". A guard
       walks close and mutters to the Talmyr's ear to be careful.
       Rysannox walks away from the two and contacts his father
       "Father, what is the meaning of this? I am the steward of the
       empire; do you understand in what a difficult situation you are
       putting me by backing whatever cause Malkhor is pursuing?"
       The soothing voice of the old Moon-king has now changed into a
       more authoritarian and decisive one "Hush son! For too long has
       Talmyr Myrsa scorned our house  ...first the refusal to marry
       your son, now this ridiculously bad handling of foreign affairs,
       where does it stop? We need to give the Talmyr a message  ..a
       message that she is nothing without House Galgatyen's support
       and that if she wishes to have our support she must marry
       Nevihdor and obey the laws she has vowed to protect...  ..we
       will of course discuss this shortly in person."
       Rysannox: "Very well, father  ..do note that only the two
       flagships are allowed to land in Shyr. Azgor Tal may forgive our
       kin.."
       --
       Near the southern great Star Altar of Datha - a beautiful
       ancient observatory- the two great dreadnaughts land in the
       forum surrounding it, the impact they make with the ground
       shakes the old tower and a few parts of the enormous derelict
       building crumble. Many paladins with the banners of House
       Valxaryen and House Galgatyen rush out of the two ships, driving
       away merchants, serfs and commoners, making way for the two
       great lords of the Empire.

       walks close and mutters to the Talmyr's ear to be careful.
       Zagara: “It is a Bio-suit created from a powerful mutagen we
       came across while the Chrymerions gave us refuge. It will bind
       with you physically, in normal conditions it will be
       unnoticeable, but when activated it generates an armor around
       its host enhancing nearly all abilities, & it can generate
       desired weapons for battle. It has become customary for Formic
       Queens to bind with it when they have proven they can
       successfully manage their own hive & some males are granted this
       gift for certain honourable deeds. Feel free to examine it.”
       The Formic ships kept track of the ships & notify Zagara as they
       land on the surface.
       Zagara: "Take all the younglings except Rynza back to the ship."
       Rokarr & the Krith, except Rynza left for the ship. Rynza was
       not sure what was going to happen so  she climbed onto the back
       of the Siege drone just encase.

       The Talmyr stands skeptical as she looks upon the bio-suit:
       "While it is a powerful device, I'm not sure I can accept it
       ...many in the empire will wish a different form of retribution
       and if I accept that as one, many may consider it a breach of
       the law.  ...a form of bribery of justice, if you wish. Being a
       Talmyr isn't only about being the top-liege, Talmyr means
       God-king in ancient Urvanyen  ...a representative of divine
       justice, a holy leader of the whole Ghashyr species." for a
       moment she looks at Rysannox who nods condescendingly.
       "...However, I do not wish any further escalation in our
       relations, as such I will accept this machine and upon the
       return of the Remelax device by Kilysa I will consider the case
       closed." The Talmyr reaches the device with her hands and
       investigates it.
       -
       Ogradax and Malkhor dressed in Arsaz armour and bearing a
       moon-shaped plasma halberd and a fire-sword respectively,
       accompanied by legions of well-armed paladins reach the majestic
       Mourning Gate of the Talmyr's Halls. Suddenly many horns and
       instruments sound in the rhythm of the Valxaryen war-song

       "Who dares to stand before the Gates of the Gods? Learn lords,
       or commoners that those who wish to breach the sanctity of this
       hall shall find nothing but death in the end of our swords!"
       Malkhor approaches sure of himself, his voice is clear and loud
       "I am Malkhor of House Valxaryen, Prince of the Fire-tongued
       throne, seed of the dragon, kin of the Unburnt One and this is
       MY hall. Besides me stands Lord Ogradax of House Galgatyen, King

       The sentinel kneels "You may proceed Lord Malkhor and Lord
       Ogradax, long life to you!"
       The two lords accompanied now only by the personal guard of
       Malkhor, enter the gates of the Mourning Halls. Their steps
       sound throughout the majestic hallways and soon can be heard in
       the ball room, where the Talmyr is.
       Seeing his sister next to the alien Empress his face fills with
       rage and he shouts to be heard across the enormous room "SISTER!
       THIS SACRILEGE MUST END. WE COME BEARING DEMANDS AND WE FIND YOU
       IN THE COMPANY OF THIS   ...ANT!"

       Zagara: “Ah yes I should have explained beforehand Talmyr Myrsa,
       It is Formic custom that in such situations as this that those
       who made the offense offer a useful gift on top of resolving the
       matter. Its not my intent to breach your laws or cause a bribery
       of justice as you say.”
       “Very well we will return to resolve the matter.”
       The Delta unit started glowing around the sphere in the middle
       for a moment as Myrsa held it.

       The two lords accompanied now only by the personal guard of
       Malkhor, enter the gates of the Mourning Halls. Their steps
       sound throughout the majestic hallways and soon can be heard in
       the ball room, where the Talmyr is.
       Seeing his sister next to the alien Empress his face fills with
       rage and he shouts to be heard across the enormous room "SISTER!
       THIS SACRILEGE MUST END. WE COME BEARING DEMANDS AND WE FIND YOU
       IN THE COMPANY OF THIS   ...ANT!"
       The air & time seemed to stand still suddenly, small objects in
       the area started floating. Myrsa would feel lighter on her feet.
       Zagara’s eyes started glowing a reddish orange, her wings
       sprouted out as she turned around facing down Malkhor. Every
       drone close to Shyr was acting off of Zagara’s emotions. Bursts
       of energy could be seen arching off the tentacles of the Hive
       Carriers in space. Rokarr kept the drones on the battleship in
       the docking bay calm but she knew something was wrong. The
       drones in the hall turned toward Malkhor, The Siege drone lifted
       itself up letting out a plume of fire & embers in the air before
       slamming the ground & letting out a deep growl, the Havoc drone
       opened its back releasing hundreds of parasite drones forming a
       buzzing whirlwind about halfway up to the ceiling, 3 Soldier
       drones surrounded Rynza as she jumped down from the Siege Drone,
       the other 2 stood next to Zagara still facing Malkhor.
       
       Zagara stated speaking in a low tone but no less dangerous, it
       sounded as if thousands of voices were speaking in unison.
       
       “First that creature in the garden, now some drone dares throws
       curses at us, I will not suffer such disrespect.”
       Zagara stopped a moment trying her best to calm down, & then
       turned back to Myrsa.
       “Well Talmyr Myrsa, I assume we have over stretched our welcome
       as your brother is not very fond of us, anytime you wish to
       activate the Delta unit, put a sample of your dna around the
       eye, it is set so that only certain individuals may successfully
       bind with it, if you do bind with it but do not wish to be after
       a time, let us know & we will unbind you. Now before we leave
       what should we do about Rynza & Balmox?.”
       The drones in the hall are still facing Malkhor.

       While observing how the device draws power from the planets core
       & then releases particles. Kilysa & M’dRyyl were trying to
       figure out how they could reverse this process.
       Kilysa watched the Energy Harvesters for a moment, & then
       started think of how they absorb, store, & release energy,
       either by recharging the ships or by destructive means.
       Kilysa: “M’dRyyl I just had an idea, since the device initially
       draws energy to itself, maybe we could just modify it so it
       stores energy instead releasing it.”
       M’dRyyl: “Something like a geothermal reactor, I believe this
       could be possible, though we may have to make holding tanks for
       all the energy, im not familiar with who works in the Scientific
       & Technological Advancement Division, but they may have
       something we can use.”
       Kilysa: “Yes your right, I know one of the Geneticists in that
       Division, ill send him a message to see if he can have someone
       bring us storing tanks or some supplies to build one.
       Kilysa sends out a message to the Genetists
