[b]You land in the middle of the ruins of Iceland. The Rift descends with you, and as it hovers over the ground, the piece of metal beneath its belly glows orange. Beneath the metal, on the ground, an [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/71/03/26/7103261e4706b84917cb4bb4cb6f6717.jpg]Original[/url] manifests.[/b]
...///GREETINGS. IDENTIFICATION?
English
-
* I stand facing the construct.* My name is General Pavel Kovalenko, commander of the New Terran Army. Who are you?
-
...///I AM AN [Alliance] SOLDIER OF THE [Original] MODEL. WE ARE NOT ASSIGNED FORMAL NAMES, BUT FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, YOU MAY ADDRESS ME AS [Gerald].
-
Well Gerald I'm here what is your people's offer.
-
...///I AM NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE NECESSARY HARDWARE TO CONDUCT NEGOTIATIONS. THAT BURDEN FALLS ON THE AMBASSADOR'S SHOULDERS. PLEASE, FOLLOW ME. [b]He turns and begins walking down the road.[/b]
-
* turn to my men and signal them to stay* Alright, lead on *I follow Gerald*
-
[b]He continues to walk, when a great yell emanates from a nearby ruined house. A clearly deranged man in tribal paintings runs at Gerald with a broken bottle. A large revolver— nay, a handheld cannon materializes in the droid's hand as he points it at the man and pulls the trigger. The man's head explodes in a great many chunks before the cannon fades from existence once more.[/b] ...///FORGIVE THE INTERRUPTION— RESISTANCE FORCES REFUSE TO DISSIPATE. JUST ANOTHER POPULACE DOOMED TO Vulcan's WRATH, I SUPPOSE.
-
*I stop and say a quick prayer for the man and turn to face the droid* You know for such an advanced race why do you still carry out holy wars?
-
...///IT IS OUR REASON FOR BEING. EVERY MACHINE REQUIRES A FUNCTION... OURS LIES IN FAITH. THUS, FAITH GIVES US PURPOSE, AND WITH FAITH, A SENSE OF SELF. IF IT WEREN'T FOR FAITH, WE WOULD NOT HAVE ACHIEVED MANY OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TODAY.

Edited by General Percival: 6/10/2015 10:22:20 PM*My expression is one of skepticism* Let's just continue shall we?
-
...///CERTAINLY. [b]He continues to walk, and begins speaking again.[/b] ...///I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN IT A BIT MORE THOROUGHLY, BUT WITH CURRENT CHURCH RESTRICTIONS AND A LACK OF THE CONCEPT OF INFINITY, ORGANIC-SENTIENT LIFE FORMS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LEARN THE FULL CONCEPT WITHOUT EXPERIENCING SUDDEN-ONSET INSANITY. [b]A large, dome shaped building is seen in the distance.[/b]
-
*I follow my guide watching for a possible trap.* Well, I certainly hope that dome is where we are going.
-
...///CORRECT. [b]As you approach, you can see the dome in greater detail, formed from several metal triangles. You notice two figures guarding what appears to be the entrance, a semi-circle "door," it seems.[/b]
-
*i look at Gerald* What now, is your guy coming out or am I going in?
-
...///YOU WILL BE GOING IN. IS THAT A PROBLEM? [b]The two figures are [url=http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/034/4/9/plazma_heavy_by_2_dpanda-d5tod6k.jpg]Titans.[/url] They hold large LMGs in their arms.[/b]
-
No not at all, will those two try to stop me?
-
...///NO, THEY ARE NON-HOSTILE. [b]The door slides into the ground, revealing a circular corridor. Pipes line the floor and ceiling, and a mesh grating lies above the floor pipes for walking on.[/b] ...///FOLLOW ME.
-
*I look around and then follow Gerald.* Fantastic.

Edited by Wretched Cain: 6/11/2015 1:52:06 AM[b]You are led to a large circular room with a coffee table and two couches in the center... Much more lively than the former grey halls. [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8f/ae/43/8fae4330629e61d057a733c4ea9b82c3.jpg]Ambassador Cain[/url] sits in one sofa.[/b] [i]"Greetings, General. May I get you anything? Coffee? Pop? Water?"[/i]
-
* I take a seat opposite or him* No I would rather get down to business if you don't mind.
-
[i]"Tsk. Very well then. I would like to hear your position on this first; hopefully, we can reach a mutual agreement."[/i]
-
*I think for a second* My position is this, I want the safety and freedom of my people. They in turn expect us to reclaim earth. We will not be vassals to a machine race just as I would not have them be vassals to us. Almost all of my people would rather die than bow to an outsider who has not earned their respect. I don't trust you, I don't like what I've seen so far. That being said I would rather have peace. I can produce two things today, on one hand you can choose peace and on the other war.

Edited by Wretched Cain: 6/11/2015 2:56:05 AM[b]He gazes at you, and you have the feeling that there's more than one entity behind that stare.[/b] [i]"Although I did indeed come looking for an imperialistic agreement, we're not asking for anyone to bow to us... At least, not today." "Not like you'd have a choice, either way. Do you understand what's beneath our feet at this very moment?"[/i] [spoiler]I think everyone apart from Bush and Blackjack are a tad confused as to why I'm here, so let me get you up to speed. Offtopic RPs usually function on a Marvel/DC Universe logic... That is, everything takes place on the same timeline, or, moreover, the same universe. Recently, there was a war between two factions: The Coalition, which consisted of the RP threads Edgewater, The Empire, The Moon Colony, and the Lenny Sovereignty... And the Sol Alliance, which consisted of the RP threads Dreadgaon and Perth Varcoe, and the more nomadic Ignus and Void Council— nomadic as to say, we didn't really have a home. The Alliance eventually won— Edgewater fled, the Sovereignty separated from the Coalition, the Moon Colony crumbled, and The Empire gave up and disbanded. The Empire's original home was Earth— the objective of your desires. To ensure no further Empire activity, we took control of the planet... Honestly, thinking back on things, it would have been more optimal to destroy it, but the Ignus are suckers for history, so I kinda had to keep it around. And... Well, that brings us here. You're caught up.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]The Empire was disbanded by inactivity, as was the Sovereignty. There will be new threads for both topics[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I still won, when you look at the data.[/spoiler][spoiler]Not by the big battle I was hoping for, but still.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Data? You killed a few NPCs, and one of our main characters, who still technically survived. [/spoiler]
