Re: The Convention of Imperiopolis and the United Gaian Nations
Treaty
By: Empress_Rebecca_I Date: July 29, 2015, 11:57 pm

Rebecca woke and became startled when Michael wasn't beside her.
Then she heard voices and hurriedly put on her robe before
heading to the next room cautiously. She stopped in the doorway
when she saw Michael at the commscreen talking to Emperor Drake
I. She waiting for them to finish before coming closer.
Rebecca - "What did Drake want? Beside us to come to his
nation."
She rubbed her arms even though she wasn't cold.

Michael I looked up at her.
Michael I - "He likes your idea of a United Gaian Nations
Organization. He just wants to discuss matters that could become
sticking points amongst our gaggle of national leaders, so they
don't become sticking points. He's bringing dinner and providing
the best suite in the capital for both of us."
He took her hand gently in his.
Michael I - "Frankly, I'm not one to turn down a free dinner and
bed."

Rebecca nodded holding Michael's hand tightly.
Rebecca - "Yes. We need to finalize the treaty. I'll have to let
the nations meet one another before we head
there.......................It's nice of him to treat us. Maybe
afterwards things will quiet down
some.....................though part of me is scared of that."
Rebecca wrapped Michael's arm around her keeping his warmth
close.

Rebecca - "You always know what to
do...........................I'm glad you're

Hours later Rebecca was at her desk in a private room putting
the final details into the letters to be delivered to nations
she help created. She had done each individually so they had
never met each other. At the time it was easier but now she
needed them together and know one another before the meeting in
Trekylon. She wasn't sure she could handle a large crowd but she
also knew she had to do this. It had been her idea in the first
place. She had to see it to fruition. She leaned back as she
finished the last letter and send off the entire amount in a
single mass transaction.
Rebecca - There that's done. I need Kenzo to prepare the
conference room and temporary quarters. Camus will need to set
up transport for them and us to Trekylon. Course he'll insist on
an honor guard. He's gotten even more insistent on stuff like
that lately. He wont let me leave the palace without a guard.
Even to walk around the garden. I see his points but it doesn't
help me feel better. He wont listen to me. Enough, lets get this
done. I still have to try and run my country. I can't leave it
to everyone else forever.
Rebecca rubbed her arms then her hands before holding her head
close to the table.
Rebecca - Don't remember. Don't go back. We've been doing better
lately. I've got to get stronger. I have to.
Rebecca felt close to crying when a knock came to the door. She
sat up and checked to make sure her face wasn't wet and cleared
her tight throat.
Rebecca - "Come in."
Kenzo came into the room with a worried expression on his face.
Kenzo - "Majesty, are you alright?"
Rebecca - "Yes."
She nodded tried to hide her fears.
Kenzo - "You've been in here all morning. Did something happen?"
Rebecca - "I just needed a safe place to draft some letters.
Emperor Drake I has invited me and my nations to come to his to
sign the final treaty with his as well. Michael I wants to take
the younger children to help make the trip easier
on......................on both of us."
She had paused unsure if she should show weakness but Kenzo
smiled in understanding and nodded.
Kenzo - "I understand. I'll inform Camus to have a craft ready
for the trip. Will the delegates be meeting you there or come
here before continuing with you?"
Rebecca - "I invited them here for now. They haven't met yet and
I felt it was..............necessary that they do before we
arrived in Trekylon. I'm sorry its on such short notice."
Kenzo - "No need to apologize. I'm just glad you're doing better
and smiling more. I'll ready the necessary rooms and a meeting
room as well. We'll welcome them with open arms. Is there
anything else you need, Majesty?"
Rebecca paused unsure what she should say...........She didn't
feel strong enough to work but she also knew she didn't want to
be idle.
Rebecca - "Some more work."
She said smiling weakly. Kenzo nodded heading for the door.
Kenzo - "I'll have some brought here for you. If you start
feeling weak, let us know. I don't want to push you too hard too
soon. Your daughters have been a great help. They are smart and
inventive like their mother."
Rebecca smiled her eyes becoming wet.
Rebecca - "Thank you."
Kenzo left and Rebecca cried softly. What had she done to
deserve such good people in her life. This world felt like a
dream compared to those hellish months. She couldn't remember
how long they had held her and no one would tell her. It had
felt like years but she knew in her heart that Michael wouldn't
have taken longer than a few months to find her. She felt her
neck almost expecting that damn collar to be there but it wasn't
there she felt only the chain of the necklace she now wore.
Thank God.

Re: The Convention of Imperiopolis and the United Gaian Nations
Treaty

Imperial Palace, Main Audience Chamber, at the same time
His Imperial Majesty Drake I waited, seated upon the Ruby
Throne, for the Heran representatives to arrive. It had only
been two minutes since he was informed that the Heran delegation
had signaled their departure from their home planet, and was
very patient, knowing that it would still take three minutes to
cross cis-Gaian space (or cis-Heran space, depending on point of
view) between the twin worlds. He had sent them the invitation
via radio channel as they had yet to develop subspace
transceivers for interstellar and interplanetary communication.
he had learned that the Herans were secretly working on their
first FTL-capable starship. Initially, he was alarmed that
despite his edict forbidding it, someone within the empire had
supplied the Herans with diagrams of warp-cores and specs on how
to manufacture enough antimatter for propulsion, but was
relieved when an investigation conducted quietly by both the
Imperial High Command and the Intelligence Ministry showed no
signs of any such assistance. An usher came into the chamber
from a side door and hurried to the dais upon which the seated
emperor was enthroned.
Usher - "Message from Odan. Heran spacecraft is on final
approach."
Drake I - "Inform the spaceport that I want them brought here as
soon as they land."
Usher - "Yes, Majesty."
Drake I settled back into his chair, hearing the sound of the
side door closing again. As the minutes passed, several Panther
Guard entered the main chamber and took up position on either
side of the main floor. Holding their staffs upright, the
Panther Guard stood at rigid attention. Drake I wondered if they
had the ability to become living statues as he watched them.
Finally, the double doors opened, leading from the Golden
Corridor and outside. Four Herans entered the chamber, becoming
slightly startled at the number of Panther Guard standing on
either side. Drake I recognized one of them as Ta'alma'gook, the
nominal Heran ambassador to the Imperial Court. The other three
Herans, one male and two females, were new. Drake I rose from
his throne and stepped down the dais to stand on equal terms
with the Herans.
Drake I - "Ta'alma'gook, it is an honor to receive you at the
Imperial Palace."
Ta'alma'gook - "It is an honor to be in your presence. May I
present my associates, Ulren'ika, Asholla, and Pe'ru'loga."
Drake I - "Honored to meet you. This is the first time I've met
a Heran woman."
Ulren'ika - "Do we please your eyes?"
Drake I was stunned by the question. Beauty was something that
could only be measured based on one's own personal preferences,
but he had to admit to feeling a slight attraction to both
Ulren'ika and Asholla. Their bosoms were quite pronounced and
they wore various jewel adornments in their hair in such a way
that one would believe the jewels to have been created by their
hair.
Drake I - "Indeed you are pleasing to the eyes."
Asholla - "He is handsome, though I see that he has eyes for
someone else. Perhaps a member of the former royal family."
Drake I stepped back, clearly in shock. Ulren'ika smiled at her
companion's assessment. Pe'ru'loga chose that moment to step
forward.
Pe'ru'loga - "I am a member of the Heran National Army. I hope
to learn more about your training regimens and battlefield
tactics."
Drake I - "I can put you in touch with General Martok, our
Minister of War. He'll assist you with your inquiries."
Ta'alma'gook - "You said you had a matter to discuss."
Drake I - "Yes. As you may know, we just come out of a very
bloody civil war recently. We're in the process of rebuilding
our cities and resettling our people. We have already created a
group of nominally independent nation-states all across our
planet."
Asholla - "Due to the fact that your planet is so large you find
that even with 90% of your people settled, you still have room
for expansion."
Pe'ru'loga - "Why not just annex lands directly into your
empire, become a planetary superpower?"
Drake I - "For starters, we aren't a militaristic power, even
though we have the military might to become one if we wanted to.
We came here, seeking refuge from powers that were militaristic
and were willing to use their military might for conquest. And,
we also share this world with two other powers who also come
from the other swirl: Inuyashia and the Federate Cherokee
State."
Ta'alma'gook - "You have land still available for settlement."
Drake I - "Back when we first arrived in this galaxy, in this
system, you were willing to trust us to take care of the
settlements we established on your world. Have we not lived up
to that trust?"
Ta'alma'gook - "You have. I have never seen
such........green......technology before. If anything, the lands
you settled on my world are even cleaner than they were before."
Drake I - "I wish to make an offer to your government."
Asholla - "What kind of offer?"
Drake I - "We still have land available. You once allowed us to
establish settlements on your world, and your nation has
prospered because of it. I wish to return the favor by offering
lands for settlement to your people."
Pe'ru'loga - "In order to assist you in reviving your world?"
Drake I - "Yes."
Ta'alma'gook - "There would have to be a condition to our
acceptance of your proposal. A trade, as you call it."
Drake I was not sure what he could offer in trade, so he was
quite unprepared for Ta'alma'gook's next words.
Ta'alma'gook - "We would like warp specialists and hull
engineers."
Drake I - "For your warp-ship. I wish I could agree to that, but
our Prime Directive forbids us from giving advanced technology
to developing civilizations."
Asholla - "They would not be giving us anything, except for
advice. We've been working on our warp-ship for months, in
secret, so there is really nothing sensitive you would be
required to give us."
Drake I - "I would have to confer with my Sci-Tech Minister and
Secretary of Internal Security about this."
Ta'alma'gook - "This is appropriate. We can stay in the city
while you have your meeting."
Drake I - "Thank you."
With a graceful bow, Ta'alma'gook, Ulren'ika, Asholla, and
Pe'ru'loga turned and left. Before they could reach the
double-doors, however, Ulren'ika and Asholla turned back to
Drake I
Asholla - "Would it be permitted for us to remain here, at the
Palace?"
Drake I - "While we're not exactly a bed and breakfast, there is
an ample suite for the both of you in Guest Level."
Asholla - "Thank you, Majesty. We'll retrieve our belongings and
return within the hour."
Ulren'ika - "I hope our peoples can continue this peaceful
coexistence we've enjoyed for these last months."
Both women exited through the double-doors. Drake I stared at
the doors for several moments, then chuckled to himself and
turned to go to his private office.
