Setting
The City of Griasfrask, the capital of the Casgrax System. It is a wonder to many how the government could have created a city of the size of Griasfrask in a matter of ten years. It all seemed to start after the research of Industrial Ink being able to create a building. The tall towers of the East, Hiskaoi District, started it all. And after twenty years the city has become the way it is. A populated hive of activity. The Space docks in the West were already there but soon after the new population set in, the government had to find new ways of creating space docks, so went to the skies.
The Planetary Government offices are located in the centre of the whole City, and standing at over three hundred floors into the sky, it is still one of the smaller building in the city. A mass of business centres and exchange buildings are located around the Government Building; the tallest building in the entire City is located three hundred meters down Hiscott Street from the Government building. The city is a landscape of structures, many masterpieces in their own way.
There is normally a mass of traffic flowing around the city, and trains leaving the stations every few minutes. There is even a hot air vehicles, hovering over the city. But that is just the civilian traffic, the Military also has a small of vehicles going in and out the city, mainly going into space or into the military bases nearby the city. Every so often a strange object will crash into the ground and a mass of soldiers will appear within a few seconds to act as aid, or take the remains of the wreckage to the nearby Heer base, Fort Armsil Military Heer base.
The usual hum of star ships landing in the space port could still be heard even though he was somewhat ten miles away. It did have an area of outskirts where nothing stood due to the noise, every much like a airport but bigger. The Military ships slowly entered the orbit, creating a bright light in the sky, but Alexander Wulan thought nothing of it. He was in matter of the fact uncaring for the Military, wanting them to disarm but with the mass of local sightings of new nations appearing at the borders of the Cybran Nation, maybe now was not a good time for him to start anything but a debate. But was there really a point? Not really, the people to his knowledge were now happy with the increased military tension, stopping the criminals from shipping in illegal goods into the nearby systems, and creating an overall drop in crime.
He looked up, watching the streets carefully for her. The Senior MP for the Casgrax system, Lillian Eitoph. They needed to talk, in his opinion about the words the Military officers were using within the Hiscotts Military tower, words of mass conscription and new warships with all the new technology but still using the same ships that were outdated, that was a risk... A very big one.
This was to be a very important meeting, Lillian sighed coming closer to the one waiting for her. Efficient as well. On the bus she had compressed her evening schedule, and was looking forward to a hot soak in a rose petal bath. The hum of this city was starting to get to her. But things must be discussed, She looked to the ship studded sky.
"Mr. Wulan," Lillian came to a stop before him and extended a hand in greeting. It was easy to pick him out from anyone else.
He swallowed before sitting back down calmly, "Have you had any news about the Military plans of a civil war?" It was the only real way to put it, and he had the funny feeling that if the Military got its way, like it did most of the time, they could start a mass killing to get rid of populations for most testings grounds, saying they did contaminate all the over grounds with their Nuclear and SoloNuclear weaponry. "Oh. I got a message containing the reports from a close encounter with four other nations in another Galaxy, and I need your opinion if it could erupt into a war. Knowing the Military, they will likely press us into a war, promising new lands and all that bull..."
Alex glanced up at the public transporter moving away from the stop outside the park grounds, robotic drivers were the safest.
"Business is booming," She said grimly on the nature of the civil war, "Many wish to see guns down but more seek profits and political growth ah... It's all very sensitive, which says just as much."
From her purse she pulled a small folder. It wasn't much larger than a hand held notebook, but it was thick with compressed paper files. Not many people dealt in the physical anymore, Lillian was one of them.
He stretched his legs out and sipped the hot drink slowly, watching for her reaction slowly. His mind started to cause pain so he placed the drink down and reached for his bag again, pulling out painkillers.
"They've opened shelters?" She had to raise a brow. It was proposed a while back to open shelters in factories and manufacturing facilities, offering employment for living quarters. Not an awful arrangement for someone with nothing better or for business owners. She reviewed the data on the PDA.
"Should cut back," Lillian noted on the pills and caffeine combination, clicking through to another graph.
He swallowed the pill and placed the tray back into the box, and the box into the bag. He looked at her, biting his bottom lip before shaking his head softly, "I can't I need to see the doctor at some point, but he'll just put me onto the pills again. And I am not going through that again."
His eyes glanced around, "What are you going to say to the Parliament? You know I will back you all the way? Right?"
The most defining thing about the group was their diversity. The humans but also the other race that appeared to mix of Humans and a strange grey alien race. They were a bit smaller than the average humanoid and their eyes were bright blue. There were the Talus. For years they had lived peacefully and integrated with humanoid colonists. Both the humanoids and the Talus were the largest races in the TOC.
High Cleric Til'Da was leading the diplomatic mission. He wore his finest robes to the event. Around the part Mattrans best Guards wore their shining armor all armed with ceremonial pistols imbued with the finest minerals. "We are most humbled by your invitation, I know Grand Admiral Zarhara and Major General Mattran have met with your officials in the past.
"The Sullen Enterprise is Enemies to the ZAR, we have attempted contact to no avail. We will meet where you suggest but I expect a full briefing on these events before we make a thoughtful decision...." The High Cleric said. It was clear the that two military commanders were not in control here but the Talus native was taking command of the negotiations.
"We have made a number of mistakes over the last few years, and we wish to fix that." Sighed the Diplomat, rubbing his face.
