       "Hi honey, its me. I made it to the Milky Way and the
       city-station. Seems its like deja vu, walking the corridors
       again after all these years. I want to thank you again for
       lending me the ships, and it seems I also picked up allies on my
       way. One of them is actually interested in discussing an
       alliance with Inuyashia. They should send an emissary to your
       court soon, but there is another person who is interested in
       meeting you personally. There is one other matter I need to
       bring to your attention. While visiting the flagship of one of
       my new allies...the one that is interested in an alliance with
       Inuyashia, in fact....I was introduced to a pair of twin girls
       who have been orphaned by the Civil War in Trekylon. As a favor,
       I was asked to become a foster father to them. You will want to
       adopt them once you meet them, they are too adorable.
       Considering the trauma they've been through, they will need you
       and Mitsuki to show them the love they lost. It'll take three
       days via fast-transport, but they will be better off on Gaia
       than here in a warzone. Part of me misses you by my side, but
       part of me is relieved that you aren't here, especially given
       what happened to you during the Civil War. I will contact you
       again as soon as I can. All my love."
       Michael I sent the transmission, then leaned back as far as
       possible on his stool. He was indeed happy that his wife wasn't
       here on the front lines, but also truly sad that she wasn't by
       his side. He still wasn't sure how to break the news about
       Altani, which was why he didn't mention her by name but did say
       she wanted to meet with her. He was gonna have to trust Altani
       to explain that aspect of Mongol custom, and trust his wife to
       forgive and accept her. He felt a tug on his sleeve and he
       turned to see Cotata staring at him with glistening eyes.
       Cotata - "Are you gonna be our daddy?"
       Michael I felt his heart sink with that question. Coming from
       someone as young as Cotata, it felt like a blow to the heart.
       Michael I took her hand in his, tears starting to fill his eyes.
       Michael I - "Yes, Cotata. I am going to be your daddy. And you
       will meet your mommy and big sister and big brothers very soon."
       Toragana - "Will they like us?"
       Michael I - "I think they will. You aren't the first children we
       adopted, after all. There were two other children, from
       different worlds and different circumstances, whom we also
       adopted. They've grown up to be fine young adults. The girl,
       Jade, is even married to the emperor of Trekylon."
       Cotata - "What is your name?"
       Michael I - "My name is Michael."
       Cotata thought about it, trying to remember if there was a
       Mongolian name for Michael, "Mitol"
       Michael I chuckled at Cotata's attempt to pronounce his name,
       "Close enough."
       He took her hand, then took Toragana's hand and led them from
       the room back into the corridor. They walked for a few minutes
       before reaching Latchport 1, where Winston was approaching from
       farther up the corridor. Sure enough, he carried two wolf plush
       toys in his hands. Both girls giggled with delight and rushed to
       meet Winston, who handed them their plushies. Both girls bowed
       to Winston, who at first looked befuddled. Michael I nodded to
       him and he nodded back, in understanding.
       Michael I - "Alright girls, its time for you to go to Gaia."
       Toragana - "Will we see you again, daddy?"
       Michael I - "You have my word as a father that I will return."
       Both girls smiled for the second time he's been with them. They
       entered the latchport connector as the doors closed behind them.

       GNN broadcast of Drake I's appeal for peace
       "This is Drake I, Emperor of the Intergalactic Empire and
       Federal Commonwealth of Trekylon...I send this broadcast out for
       all in the 'verse to hear, but in particular and especially the
       peoples of the Great Houses of Xie, Jovepenia, and
       Rhamos........Just four days and six hours ago, our
       armada....with the assistance of the Intergalactic Federacy of
       which Trekylon is a member....defeated your spacefleets in
       Gateway Sector. Our fleet was also responsible for the defeat of
       the Xie fleets just outside Imperial space in Bode's galaxy. The
       reasons for the battles have been made clear, it is the gross
       violation of the self-determination of the Veruloni people, the
       enslavement of captive peoples such as the Venzetti....the
       support given covertly to the rebels in our recent Civil
       War...and the attempted civil war in the Greater Empire of
       Showa...that forced us to declare war on the Great Houses of
       Xie. You have lost over 30% of your total offensive force and
       you have forced your allies.....Jovepenia, Rhamos, Serdaristan,
       UPT, and the New Terran Republic...to sacrifice their fleets and
       fighting men...to prop up your war effort.....I wish to appeal
       to those nations...and the public within the Great Houses...to
       end the fighting now and accept my offer of dialog. My terms are
       simple....either self-determination or independence for the
       people of Verulon Prime....reparations toward Greater Showa and
       Trekylon of no more than I$50,000...and recognition of
       Trekylonian control of the Gateway Sector of the Milky Way
       galaxy and an ironclad pledge to permanently withdraw from
       Bode's galaxy. If you accept these provisions, you need not lose
       more ships, more men, and possibly....your territories scattered
       across the Milky Way, because make no mistake....should you
       refuse or choose to ignore this offer....our terms will become
       more harsh. Our diplomatic channels will remain open, but the
       longer you hold back, the worse the terms sought will become.
       Let this appeal be known to all in the 'verse...and let it be
       said that I did make the attempt at peace..whatever else happens
       is out of my hands.....gloria Trekylon."

       Galaxy-1 space
       As the warpshuttle departed the city-station on its way to the
       Galaxy Gate and back to Gaia, Michael I's multinational fleet
       cruised into holding position. From his vantage point back
       aboard Alabama, he could see the Cardassian, Tholian, and Gorn
       fleets but was unable to locate the Kinshaya, Romulan, Klingon,
       or Breen. He had received the report that a multiracial fleet
       was joining the Imperial Armada, and found himself disappointed
       by the ships that had arrived. Rhelor announced a massive
       tachyon surge all around the station and amongst the Armada.
       Michael I turned back to the viewport just in time to see
       rippling among the stars. The ripples took on a solid form,
       resolving into the myriad Klingon, Romulan, Kinshaya, and Breen
       ships cruising past. Michael I now realized he would need to
       include cloaked ships in his various 'cavalry raids' and
       resolved to invite the commanders to the holoconference he would
       hold with Commodore Rhess
       .......to be continued in next thread
