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

---------------------------------------------------------
10 Minutes later
Drake I called in T'Pol, the minister of science and technology
and the Hermat Secretary of Internal Security Si. Si's
companion, the Nasat A23 Red stayed close to her supervisor.
Drake I took a moment to ponder how a race of hermaphrodites had
sought entry into the Interstellar Trekylon Commonwealth when no
one had even heard of them. He also wondered if their Human
appearance was because they were perhaps a branch of humanity
that had arrived in Bode's Galaxy millions of years ago, as
explorer-colonists or transplants, and whether it explained
their genetic evolution toward a cosexuality. Even as he laid
out the Herans' counteroffer to the three beings, he continued
to wonder about Si's heritage. Finally, he closed his
explanation and now waited for the responses.
T'Pol - "You yourself laid down the edict that forbids
technological exchange with the Heran Heptarchy until such time
as they developed FTL-drive. The fact that they are still
developing this would corroborate your edict."
A23 Red - "I disagree, Minister. The Herans have already
progressed 97% on their own. Records show no technical
interactions legal or illegal between our personnel and the
Herans. Plus the fact they have asked only for advisors and
technicians to double-check their progress is clear indication
that they have completed their work and need only a second
opinion before proceeding to test level."
T'Pol - "I do not dispute their success in their program,
however, I reiterate that the edict against providing
technological assistance is not limited to actual technology but
also includes technological advice. To give them even this much
would be to refute the very edict we have followed since our
arrival in this galaxy."
Drake I - "You act as if it would be a threat to internal
security."
T'Pol - "I am not an accurate judge of such matters. That is for
the Office of Internal Security and the IBI to determine."
Drake I looked to Si. Si was the first officer appointed by the
Council of Ministers for the subdivision of the Imperial Bureau
of Investigation responsible for internal threats to security.
Drake I hoped he could rely on hir to provide all the answers.
Si - "Majesty, I do not see any potential threat to security as
a result of providing advisors to a program that for all intents
and purposes is already complete. I would, however, request that
the launch of their warp-ship be supervised from our orbiting
Base-star Prime. They can, of course, send their own agents to
assist."
T'Pol - "And this would further introduce the Herans to advanced
technology and cause a more rapid development in their culture
as a result."
Drake I - "T'Pol, they've built a warp-ship. How much more can
they learn from being on a Base-star?"
T'Pol - "More than is necessary for them to maintain their
current level of development. Any acceleration would be
catastrophic to their society. It would be no different than an
Earth spaceshuttle being provided to medieval ocean navigators
to prove their world is not flat. The repercussions resulting
would've brought their religious institutions to a standstill
and caused universal chaos."
Drake I - "Fortunately, such a possibility has not happened. Si,
what are your recommendations?"
Si - "I recommend limited access to Base-star Prime for the
duration of their FTL test. It will also limit the so-called
chaos on their world. I also recommend we draw up a document
that would regulate future technology trades between our worlds
and lay down other guidelines for the Herans."
A23 Red - "I concur, Majesty. It is the best way, in my
opinion."
T'Pol - "You have heard my objections, Majesty. It is on you
that the final decision rests. But I must warn you that should
you decide against my advice, you will be held accountable for
whatever consequences arise."
Drake I - "In other words, any disasters they have will be on my
head."
T'Pol raised an eyebrow but otherwise nodded in agreement.
Drake I - "Then the decision is made. T'Pol, have as many
technicians as can be made available ready to travel to Hera
within the hour. Tell Secretary Scott that I also want a team of
engineers to go along, get their assessment of the Heran
warp-ship without divulging any information about our own
systems."
T'Pol - "As you wish."
Drake I - "Ladies...Si...I thank you. That'll be all."
Si rose from hir seat and made hir way to the door of the
office. A23 Red simply rose from her squatting position on the
stool and followed closely behind hir. T'Pol rose from her seat,
but waited as the others left the office before addressing Drake
I in a private voice.
T'Pol - "I do hope you do not come to regret this decision,
Majesty."
With that, she made her own exit through the door, which closed
behind her. Drake I sat back in his chair and pondered her last
statement, then hit the intercomm.
Drake I - "I want to see Ta'alma'gook, Pe'ru'loga, Asholla and
Ulren'ika in my office in five minutes."

1530 hours (3:30 ET). Private Audience Chamber of His Imperial
Majesty Drake I, Imperial Palace
Drake I was seated in an upholstered chair which was a more
decorative version of the Ruby Throne when Ta'alma'gook and
Pe'ru'logia entered. Both men bowed at the waist formally. Drake
I waved them in. Both men took their places on the cushioned
ottomans which formed a semicircle around the chair. Drake I was
not as concerned about formality here as in the Main Audience
Chamber, preferring a more relaxed form of royal protocol here.
This is a long way from the demanded respected for formal
etiquette which his predecessor, Michael II enacted. But Drake I
found himself in the unprecedented position of setting new
precedent for future emperors, which he found interesting.
Drake I - "Gentlemen, I have good news for you. After some
discussion with my ministers, it has been agreed that the edict
forbidding technological assistance to pre-FTL peoples will be
set aside. As you only wish to make certain that your own people
have built the most efficient warp-core and hull for your first
FTL test, the edict will not be applied here."
Ta'alma'gook - "That is most generous of you, Majesty."
Drake I - "I would like to propose, with conditions, the use of
our primary space-station...Base-star Prime, for the purposes of
joint study and observation of the test flight. A set number of
personnel from your development team would have access, though
it would be limited because of the edict."
Pe'ru'loga - "Name your conditions."
Drake I rose from his seat and began to pace, not something he
used to do as leader of the Merchants' Guild, but no doubt
developing as a result of his coronation as emperor. He hoped
the two Herans wouldn't become too annoyed with his pacing.
Drake I - "Condition one...your personnel will only have access
to the Transporter Rooms, Commander and Control, and the Main
Docking Bays. Condition two, your personnel will have to be
limited to half a dozen researchers, engineers, and yourselves.
Condition three, all aspects of the test flight will be
controlled from Base-star Prime. We have the facilities and
tow-vessels on hand in case we need them."
Pe'ru'loga - "We have been authorized by our Ruling Body to
accede to whatever provisions you wish to place. I will be
required to return to Hera to finalize discussions with the
Body."
Ta'alma'gook - "Myself, and the females will remain here, both
to observe the test-flight and to attend your Convention talks."
Drake I - "I will have copies of the global surveys and updated
maps made available to you and Pe'ru'loga to take back to the
Ruling Body."
Pe'ru'loga - "They will be most interested. My obligements to
you, Majesty. If I may take my leave?"
Drake I - "Of course. Safe journey to you. And success on your
warp-ship test flight."
Pe'ru'loga bowed at the waist before taking his leave. Drake I
bowed his head in return. He turned his attention to
Ta'alma'gook.
Drake I - "You may wish to reunite with your female companions.
They're here at the Palace, in the Guest Suites."
Ta'alma'gook - "My thanks to you, Majesty."
He bowed, as Pe'ru'loga had done moments ago, to which Drake I
bowed his head in return. He rose from his seat and made his
exit from the room. Drake I was pleased that they had come to a
deal. A buzz on the intercomm broke the silence that followed
the departure of the Heran emissary.
[Voice] - "Majesty, you have a visitor. An emissary from
Vulcan."
Drake I - "I'll see them in ten minutes. Thank you."
He sat back as the channel closed. The Vulcans must've heard of
the idea of settling the planet and may be interested in aiding
the effort.

Several hours after they had each received the invitations to
come to Inuyashia, the first delegate arrived. Pirate Captain
Eideard Ross of the Consortium of Carabosa walked into the
reception area of the meeting hall taking a swig of his special
grog. The area was set up much like a hotel lobby: comfortable
seats, few tables some sofas of various sizes and shapes. all in
all pretty basic. Eideard smiled as he found a dark corner to
wait and watch. This might be fun.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/8kZDNvZt.jpg
Next entered with all their regal radiance shining thru was King
Antor Pendragon and his Queen Helain Pendragon. They walked hand
in hand and marveled at the technology in the space.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/0qXZ6PMt.jpg
Antor - "I still cant get over how beautiful it is here."
Helain - "I know. Her majesty has done well to create such a
modern yet peaceful nation. I'm very impressed with her
resolve."
Suddenly they heard laughter from a corner they had yet to
notice. The light of a matchstick showed them a familiar face
lighting a churchwarden pipe.
Eideard (heavy scottish accent) - "Still a country bumpkin I
see."
Antor - "Still a trickster yourself."
Eideard - "You've got me. Been a long time. Never thought I
would see you again."
Eideard came out and toward the couple as the males smiled at
each other.
Antor - "Same here. Can't believe you're smoking that thing in
here. Took after your father in that respect."
Eideard shrugged.
Eideard - "Smoking and drinking are common for pirates. It's a
lifestyle I've grown quite accustom to. What about you? Seems
you've stuck to those old fairy tales you use to read."
Helain - "You read fairy tales?"
Antor blushed - "Legends. The great legends of King Arthur."
Helain and Eideard laughed.
Eideard - "Relax. I knew that. Just seeing if you were still
the same boy I knew growing up"
Eideard slapped Antor on the back. Antor coughed and smiled.
Antor - "You've gotten stronger if that's even possible."
Antor looked over his friend and noticed the scar over his
chest.
Antor - "That wasn't there before. How did you survive something
like that?"
Eideard laughed - "Strong will and a great crew. Hand picked and
trustworthy to a fault. I was up and about in a few days thanks
to them and to their horror."
He laughed more as Antor shook his head.
Antor - "Still it's good to see you again."
They shook hands and hugged as trumpets rang out and in came a
stern looking regal lady with a large staff. High Priestess
Sandra Adamidis walked past the trio turning her face away from
them as she went to sit close to the door. Eideard blew a short
whistle.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/xAAjMgIt.jpg
Eideard - "She's going to be a bundle of laughs."
Antor stares slack jaw till his wife jabbed a finger into his
side.
Antor - "I think I've heard of her. If she's who I think she
is."
Eideard looked at his friend quizzically.
Antor - "I think she's High Priestess Sandra Adamidis from The
Theocracy of Seinia. They pride themselves on their warriors.
Their whole society is based on creating the perfect warriors."
Eideard rubbed his chin as he looked back at Sandra.
Eideard - "Really? I may have to sweet talk her into giving me a
few of those. I've heard the women there have 2 positions they
fight for. Vestal virgins and prostitutes."
Helain - "Why would anyone want to be a prostitute?"
Eideard - "Simple to create more off spring and have the chance
of winning the High Priestess's favor. Those that do. Lack for
nothing and the prostitutes are revered there because unlike the
vestal virgins who cant be touched by male hands. A prostitute
can satisfy his every need. Infact male visitors are almost
compelled to visit their district at least once. To do otherwise
is a great insult to the country and the High Priestess."
Antor - "I never knew. That's kind of scary."
Eideard - "For a married man I can understand but us stags have
nothing to fear and it's a dream to be able to have such pretty
girls as much as we want and they want us too."
Antor laughed sheepishly.
Antor - "I suppose so."
They continued talked as they waited for the next delegates.

After a few minutes 3 people in exotic and ornate clothing came
into the room. The female looked like she berating the leader
while the other male was attempting to calm the situation.
Empress Hua Chen frowned at her husband. He had attempted to
back out at the last minute. Emperor Shing Chen looked
apologetic while cowering from his wife. Captain of the Guard
Shen Sun smiled while trying to calm down Hua and inadvertently
protecting Shing who had taken the opportunity to hide behind
him.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/RnGUO1Bt.jpg
Antor noticed them tried to hide as smile with his wife as
Eideard laughed whole-heartedly.
Hua cleared her throat and bowed in apology to the trio after
she had approached them.
Hua - "Forgive me. I didn't realize we weren't the first ones
here. I'm sorry you had to see that."
Antor tried to talk but couldn't without smiling
Antor - "It's alright. It's just.............refreshing to see
such things."
Eideard wrapped an arm around Antors shoulders.
Eideard - "What my polite friend is trying to say. Is that we've
rarely seen such a vibrant and aggressive woman before. Nor see
a man cower so much. It's a rare treat and a good laugh."
Hua smiled while her temple twitched.
Hua - "I thank you. I'll be sure we don't cause anymore
disturbances."
She turned and went back to the boys as they all headed to a
secluded corner of the room.
3 women came in after the last trio had calmed down. 2 soldiers
in similar uniforms and a sweet smiling lady with an elaborate
crown. Maharani Anala Naidu looked over the room with wonder
and surprise. There were already a good many people here. Behind
her one of the soldiers, Krodha Sahir, looked at each delegate
skeptically. Her sister, Bha Sahir, by comparison smiled behind
her glasses and followed her sister's actions somewhat.

Krodha - "Bha, stop smiling. We can't trust anyone yet."
Bha - "Eh!? But they look like so much fun."
Krodha - "We're not here to have fun."
Anala - "On the contrary, this is a simple meet and greet. Fun
is to be expected. Besides, they are our allies as much as
Inuyashia is. We must know and be friendly with our allies. It
is expected and it's wanted. So please, try to make friends
today."
Krodha bowed her head slightly in shame.
Krodha - "Yes, your majesty."
Antor and Eideard had overheard the conversation and went up
afterward to introduce themselves. Helain followed and started
talking easily with Anala for which Antor was pleased.
Next came in Pharaoh Neferatari Aten and High Priest Sefu Thoth.
Sefu's eyes were cold as he took in the room and people.
Neferatari look like she could care less about being here.
Eideard's and Antor's mouths fell open at the sight of her.
Helain closed her husband's for him once she noticed.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/Ue7lxrZt.jpg
HTML http://i.imgur.com/OGK2ZjNt.jpg
Eideard - "This will certainly be an interesting meeting. We
have such lovely single ladies."
Helain - "You don't know that they are single. They may be
married for all you know."
Eideard - "True but what husband wouldn't accompany his wife to
ensure her safety."
Helain - "Not all women need protection. I'll be happy to give
you a demonstration whenever you feel up to it."
Eideard put his hands up.
Eideard - "No need. You're Antor's wife. I wouldn't doubt for a
second you could hold your own. Though if we did
fight...................I wouldn't be able to guarantee your
safety."
Helain - "Is that a challenge?"
Antor - "Now now. Lets all calm down. We promised not to fight
each other. Empress specifically requested it."
Helain sighed.
Helain - "Fine but I wont back down next time. I wont have him
insulting me."
Eideard bowed.
Eideard - "I never meant to insult you. I've just never been
defeated by a female. Though many have come close. I've learned
to go full-tilt and not hold back to avoid injury."
Antor laughed nervously as his wife looked close to punching
Eideard.
Helain - "You certainly have a lot of gall saying that to my
face. We'll have to put it to the test later. For now I'll
respect the Empress's wishes."
She walked off and sat next to Anala and they started talking
again.
Antor - "I think you've made quite the impression on her."
Eideard - "So it would seem...."

Viceroy Vadim Dubova and his new bride Raisa Dubova came in as
Helain was going to Anala to talk some more. A quick glance of
the room told him that none of these people were going to be an
asset to him and as such inconsequential. His wife on the other
hand started to walk over to Helain and Anala.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/1Jq2Iubt.png
HTML http://i.imgur.com/RsKurPkt.jpg
Vadim - "Raisa! Remember you promised not to leave my side
during these meetings. You can't trust anyone."
Raisa - "But the letter said that this was to help us become
friends."
Vadim - "I know what it said but I'm telling you that I don't
trust these people. I've never met them before and as such don't
have a desire to start up any relationship with them unless I'm
forced to."
Raisa pouted her lips as she followed her husband. Charming as
he had been when they dated, she soon found out he was a major
paranoid freak and rarely let her out of his sight let alone do
the things she use to do everyday.
Eideard - "Guess she regrets marrying him now."
Antor - "Eideard, you mustn't say such things."
Eideard - "Like I care what he or anyone thinks of me. I'm a
pirate. I'm use to being hated or looked down on but I'm happy
with my life. I'm free and can do what I want."
Antor sighed as Eideard slapped a hand on his shoulder.
Eideard - "Never mind. Look......"
He pointed to the door.
Eideard - "Looks like the last delegate has finally arrived."
Indeed, in came Empress Eldreda Williams with her personal guard
Alburn Roper. They appeared to be engrossed in a very spirited
conversation.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/kudwmHAt.png
HTML http://i.imgur.com/3cTOTfDt.jpg
Antor - "So it would seem. She seems to be the leader though I
doubt she remains within the royal residence."
Eideard - "You may be right."
Antor - "I'd love to talk to her."
Eideard - "What are you sweet on her?"
Antor blushed deep red.
Antor stammered - "N-No..........I just thought that we might
have a lot in common as leaders of the people is all. I'm
happily married."
Eideard smiled as he continued.
Eideard - "I wonder about that."
Antor blushed even more and appeared to lose some of his cool.
Antor - "Dammit, I do not like her that way."
Eldreda appeared behind him.
Eldreda - "Don't like who what way."
Antor froze and spun around before smiling sheepishly.
Antor - "Ummmmmm.............Nobody. Sorry you had to hear
that."
Eideard stepped in.
Eideard - "He's just shy. You'll have to forgive him."
Eldreda laughed.
Eldreda - "I see. Are you both delegates too? I'm still new to
all this really."
She smiled as Antor began to relax.
Antor - "Yes, we are. I'm Antor Pendragon of Avalon and this is
my childhood friend...."
Eideard - "Pirate Captain Eideard Ross of Carabosa. It is an
honor to meet such a lovely lady."
He kissed her hand smirking at her. Alburn cleared his throat.
Eldreda - "I know Alburn. Sorry. I'm Empress Eldreda Williams of
Uratania and this is Alburn Roper. He's my personal
guard..........though most times I feel he's my babysitter."
Alburn - "Majesty!........................*blushes* I only care
for your safety and pirates are known for being untrustworthy."
Eideard - "Correct you are my good man with exception to myself.
I have never once harmed a lady...........well apart from those
who were trying to harm me first. And I would never think of
harming a fellow delegate."
Eldreda - "See there's nothing to worry about. This is a fun
event. We should relax."
Alburn - "Understood but I'm still going to keep my eye on you."
Eldreda shook her head smiling as Antor and Eideard laughed.
Kenzo Suzuki came in a striking green outfit.
Kenzo - "My lady bids you welcome and wishes me to inform you
that we will begin the formal introductions shortly. If you will
wait here a few more minutes, we will all come together in the
meeting room where refreshments will be served fitting your high
status. I beg your indulgence."
Kenzo bowed and left the room.
Antor - "Imperial Chancellor, huh? Guess this will be a little
more formal that I had anticipated."
Eideard shrugged and began buttoning his coat.
Eideard - "Precisely why I hate formal events. Atleast she's
nice enough to provide food."
He opened his flask and took a long swig.
Eideard - "If I had know I would have brought more of my grog.
Care for a sip old friend?"
Antor looked at the flask
Antor - "I don't know. You've always be able to out drink me. I
doubt I could handle it."
Eideard - "Suit yourself. Its a might fine batch."

Ambassador J'Ruk Tahon stepped forward as he looked around
silently with his expressionless face.
"I am Ambassador J'Ruk Tahon. The Vulcan Confederation has heard

Drake I couldn't believe what he was hearing. With the Vulcans
now assisting, it looked as though the recovery of Gaia would be
completed sooner than expected. He put on his best poker face as
he addressed Ambassador Tahon.
Drake I - "Empress Rebecca I is currently meeting with her
people on settling the outlying continents, and Ta'alma'gook
will be attending the joint signing of the Charter Treaty for
the United Gaian Nations Organization. You are, of course,
invited to attend, though you are not required to sign the
Charter. I will have all available maps sent to you for review,
including maps of the nation-states already established."

Not long after Kenzo left the room 2 more people burst into the
room running. Chieftain Anelsa Denali and her second-in-command
Olaf Olva stop to catch their breath once they realized that
there were others in the room.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/CX6elCWb.jpg
Anelsa - "I can't believe this. We were almost late."
Olaf - "I'm so sorry. I misread the invitation. Please forgive
me."
Anelsa walked off and Olaf followed like a little puppy dog.
Eideard laughed as Antor shook his head.
Antor - "Guess they're new. I don't remember hearing of them."
Eideard - "We'll find out soon. At any rate she seems to have
him by the balls."
Antor sighed - "So it would seem."
