"A true shame, it seems that you're one of the few people here who knows what they're doing." It was a rather odd feeling for Matthias, to express an opinion, it was hard thinking for one's self after the redoubling efforts that the state enforced. "Perhaps my people, when they arrive in number, could assist?"

Matthias nodded before finishing off the rather intriguing drink, returning his hands to his lap once he'd sat it down again. Looking to the emperor, he pondered for a moment just how to suggest such a thing, and were one quite observant, they'd have noticed a slight twinge of a smirk beginning to show on his face. It was uncanny, almost, how similar the Araxian soldiers were to the Hegemony's own landsers, sharing many of the same qualities. Perhaps He appeared to them, save in a different form. "Emperor, this seems odd to suggest, but I believe that there's much we could both gain from cooperation, even beyond this Black Fox."

Matthias allowed the woman to do as she was told, inhaling to think on just how to further extrapolate his idea to the foreign, but amiable, emperor. One could tell that Wyl was pleased, to an extent, and such put Matthias on the spot - he had to measure up. "We, the Hegemony and your people, seem to be, how should I say... ideologically aligned? We do not prostitute ourselves to the people, we realize that only those worthy should govern. One cannot attain power without merit." Leaning back for the first time in his seat, the back of the chair rather comforting, having been standing for a majority of the previous hour or so. "Our experiences with democratic fools in this galaxy has been less than pleasant. To put it plainly, we recognize that your culture seems to be a step ahead of the curb, and you've yet to truly reach for the stars." Pausing for a moment, he considered adding onto his statement, not wanting to offend, "From what we've seen thus far in this visit, not to insinuate anything, Lord Wyl."

"We don't mean to insinuate, either, that your people require assistance. Rather, through His grace, our regent would like to offer it." Matthias tried his best to be amiable. An odd thing for a Belkan, truly. "If His will is made reality, there will be need of people like yours, Lord."

Matthias nodded, almost in a bowing manner, hoping that he wasn't causing the Emperor to grow distracted with the vista behind him. "We would be honored to provide it, Emperor Wyl. We are beginning to phase out several classes of vessels, and there are much more dignified uses for such loyal craft than target practice."

Matthias allowed a smile to break on his face, the first of his visit. His logic being that the less one utilized it, the more important it was. His offer was genuine, as many were, they figured to just destroy them would be a terrible waste. "Wonderful, sir. Hopefully it can be the start of quite a positive relationship, our allies are few in this galaxy."

Matthias Rueger echoed his host's motion, standing at his behest. Ruger held his left hand on his dagger's hilt, it still resting on his hip, and, accepting the Emperor's invitation, shook with his right. He had a firm grip - a good sign - and Matthias did his best to match. The Araxians had quite the potential, reminding him of a Belka that lived not but a few centuries prior. He smiled, even allowing a small hint of a grin to show, though it was soon interrupted with speech, "A pleasure, Emperor Wyl."

Matthias didn't take long to respond, maintaining the image of the Belkan officer, his only physical motion, for the moment, being a slight bow of the head, "I believe I do, sir, and if you have no qualm with it, sir, I shall take my leave." Drawing his ankles together, he came to attention, awaiting an answer.

Rueger bowed in return, saluting again after raising himself from the position, and spun about smartly on his feet. It wasn't long before the contingent of guards assembled and they were off, continuing back to their ship, eager to report to his superiors of their discovery. The Araxians could prove a valuable ally in the days to come, it seeming that autocracy gained support with every new day.

The place was, to put it rather simply, bizarre, and that was saying something for a man like Matthias. He'd been to almost every corner of the Hegemony and, in some cases, beyond, but this place... by the Emperor, even he was surprised at it. Proceeding cautiously, he was careful not to stray too far from his group of about six followers, each of them seeming much more fascinated, or horrified, with the place than he was.

Another advantage of introversion, he supposed. "Good Lord... what is that place?" He could hear one of the female landsers asking behind his back, offering a brief glance behind him before shifting it back ahead, concentrating on the street and its urchins. Such was their target today, according to his orders, to get a hold of as many specimens as he deemed necessary.

"Sir... just why are we walking around here?" Blinking as he concocted a response, Matthias continued scanning, his mechanical eye overlaying different filters to take in the whole picture, the iris zooming on the occasional flash of movement.

"To put it simply," his voice replied, a mechanical undertone present, "we must know our allies."

One of the small bipedal creatures ran up. With feather on it's arms, and covering most of it's body, it was followed quickly by it's sibling, better fed, but more timid. The apeared similar, and neither was well-kempt at all. The first one spoke up. “Mõned täiendavad muudatused?” It asked, gender difficult to tell. The other tugged at it's arms, trying to pull it away from the strangely furred beings.

Eyes were beginning to turn to the humans in their odd clothes and ornaments. A few merchants had calculating looks in their eyes, and a few of the beings in the sky glided lower for a better look. What were these? These looked like the odd things in the broadcasts. What were the odd things doing here?

The little one took it and nibbled, then beamed and broke it in two, handing the larger half to the shyer of the siblings. Other small beings saw this actions, and at the evident pleasure on the twin sets face, several more came forward, holding out their hands and erupting in a chorus of noise. None came on their own, moving in groups of two. There were patches of fur, wings, and scales on various little ones in the crowd. A few changed in front of the soldiers, trying to imitate the appearance. The obviously believed the uniforms to be apart of their skin.

There was a shout at the sound of gun fire, and one of the larger bipedal creatures stood forward, stalking over. It snarled darkly at them and snapped, changing shape to one to imitate them. “No. relvad! Maailmalinn Rahu, center linna soda!“ It snarled darkly. There was a purring timber to its voice the little one's didn't have. Meanwhile, the one who's twin was taken was jumping up and down, wanting a turn at the game. The smaller one was laughing and swinging from side to side, clearly thinking this all great fun.

The tiny Belkans still sported wings, patches of fur, and scales in odd places. Pupils weren't exact. It was clear this were truly young, not experienced enough in shifting to manage it perfectly. One tried to walk and fell over with a laugh.

The one who had been firing placed his weapon back into his holster, moving slowly as he stared down the beast. In only a few moments he snapped the cover of it back together, knowing that he was outclassed here, but he refused to apologize, his eyes betraying his feelings on the matter. Matthias watched, wary of the larger creatures, but he soon found a sort of new curiosity in the being that he held in his mechanical grip, as it seemed to not care all that much. Rather, it seemed to be enjoying it. It'd been quite a while since Matthias had felt such emotion, and he was initially puzzled by it. He recognized it before too long, however, and soon returned to the task at hand.

Waving down a comrade who bore a rather large rucksack on his back, he motioned for another to open the thing, and within a few moments had managed to get the creature into the pack somehow. Turning back, he looked to see if the other was still there, which it was. This one, it seemed, might prove more of a challenge.

The child giggled at this happily, and would let Matthias put it in the rucksack, though it was soon calling for it's twin. Cautiously, the twin came forward, reaching for the bag and its twin. She wanted in with her sister. It was scary without her. Among the crowd of children, there was pushing and shoving, all trying to join in. They wanted to play too! They wanted to have fun, it looked like it was super duper interesting, and where did they bag go to? Were they taking them to a new home, a new place? Would it be fun?

The flying adult returned, leading a man in body armor. The man walked up to Matthias, scattering most of the children, though some of the youngest remained, still trying to climb up soldiers to play games, some in twos, some with one lagging behind the other reluctantly. "Mik siin te olet? Kas Belkan te?" There were no other traders that came to this planet.

Kampf. Belkan. Yes, this was what the man thought. "You in wrong place." He told the man in broken Belkan. "This no market. This town. Our town. You leave." He looked at the children and shrugged, unimpressed. In fact, he called for another bag, coin quickly switching hands as he held it out to Matthias. "Take more littles, if want, but leave!"

The little ones seemed over joyed at this, and one ripped the bag out of the guard's hand and climbed in it. Several followed. They seemed to think it a great adventure. The same one that had taken the bag away held up a handful of it to Matthias, with large heart stealing eyes that just begged to be taken with.

Poor foolish child.

Matthias nodded, pleased that the situation was as light as it was, and in taking the coin he was rather pleased to have a chance at more of the things, leaving was, after all, such a small price. Saluting the guard again, he soon turned to load more of the things, but they had already done the job for him, clambering into the new bag on their own.

Matthias took the situation at face value though, too pleased with his fortune to over think things, but looked curiously to the one who offered the bag to him. Picking up the thing and placing it into the sack, he soon took it up on his own shoulders and motioned for his people to follow.

This was good. Very good.

All told, there were ten little ones in there, and two more following after them, but not in the bag. These two didn't match each other, but each match a twin in one of the bags, and refused to be left behind. Stumbling repeatedly, the two 'little Belkans,' tried hard to keep up. They were crying out what could possibly be names, but were words in an odd foreign language. They had to catch up, they did!

None of the children knew what they were in for.

The children were playing with each other, scrubbed and happy. This place was fun. There were several of them all there, and all enjoying themselves as they chattered in their foreign tongue. One was trying to imitate the Belkan tongue, and so far could say two words. "Kampf!" The little one chirruped, then giggled and fell over, having a hard time in the human form. Then with another giggle, she declared happily. "Emper!" The last bit of the word was hard. Some of the other, all only mostly human, none quite all the way there, were watching the scientists, and one was trying to get the scientists to play peekaboo.

The scientists, some of them from the Landwächter and others not, were all rather fascinated with the creatures, this being their first chance to study them alive. Rueger, however, felt no such fascination, rather preferring to get this over with so he could serve his Lord in whatever way practical. He was trained to overthrow regimes, to weed out dissenters. Not to watch small creatures bounce and play.

"We're ready to begin with the stimuli, herr." The voice of one of the men ringed out over the intercom inside the observation chamber, and Matthias replied nonchalantly,

"Proceed." One of the men inside produced a cat, not entirely of age yet but no longer a kitten, and placed it on the floor, hoping that, according to what intelligence they were able to gather, it would spur these creatures into their natural form, which would be easier to study.
