Nosves walked into her office with Uso closely behind her. It was decorated from floor to ceiling, with shelves, old weapons and paintings among other things. There was a desk at the back center of the room, with two chairs in front of it and one behind. A huge clan symbol of her pairbond's family was behind her chair, symbolizing who she was loyal to. Nosves made her way and sat down on her chair. "I have.....news." Was all she said.
"Well... Ok." Uso said, taking a look at the iconography that was all around... but not really understanding any of it. "You wanna drop the cloak and dagger bit? Get to the good stuff? Not that I mind the whole private conversation thing but usually we jump right into the whats going on and how we can help one another."
Nosves has changed considerably since they first arrived, now she seemed to be very worried. "Our long range communications have picked up troubling orders from a Kuvexian vessel...." She said, pausing a moment before continuing. "It had orders that detailed a large-scale invasion of the Kikyo Sector, including invasions of planets such as Azorea, Neplesia Prime, Keren and Ether being some of the more notable ones on the list." Nosves finished.
"That sounds..." Uso said, her face twisting into one of deep thought, "Mustash twirling-y... Large unknown enemies massing for an attack. Though I'm willing to take a look at what you got on it.
... of course, this is where you pitch how I come into all of this correct?"
"My superiors have contacted Yamatai, the I'ee, even the Neshaten, among contacting others as we speak. They so far have all sent ships, and if you could supply any ships, it would make this sector even safer. I do not want to know what happens if we fail to defeat this invasion fleet." Nosves said.
"Sent ships to do what? Strike pre-emptively? Joint exersizes?" Uso asked, "You know this sounds fishy as fuck right? Telegraphing an attack this big... I mean, well, yeah you can't hide something that big but at the same time why pick a fight with everyone all at once?"
Nosves leaned back, taking in the questions as Uso spoke. "Believe it or not, I am not very high in the government, therefor my knowledge is limited. But from what I understand and was told- we would intercept them before their first attack....as for the reasoning...who knows? They are evil rats."
"Rats are predictable. They like cheese... they uh... go into holes in walls right? Is that mice instead?
...
Regardless, Evil rats look for evil cheese I guess. What's so valuble about some dumb rock like Ether? And why attack so many locations at once unless you've either got the spare-ships just sitting around that you can bonk that many heads all at once, or unless you're trying to get everyone to respond."
"Your guess is as good as mine, rumors say they have triple the numbers as us though....who knows if that is truth or not. But Ether is home to both Yamatai and Union bases, along with this newly built space station- which contains thousands of aliens from different nations. I was actually notified over one hundred of our joint fleet ships are heading here as we speak from the Union, Yamatai, Ee'ee and the Neshatan." Nosves said, messing with a pen in her hand.
"There are Shananagins afoot." Uso replied, resting her hand on her chin. Right off the top of her head this whole thing could be an excuse to get the fleet together to blow it up, to gather information on how things will go, to sabotage things diplomatically.
"So yes, I totally want in. I'm not NOT going to be involved in this."
Nosves was slightly surprised that Uso decided to get involved, from her earlier questions and concerns it sounded as if she was going to decline, as if she thought it was a trap or something. "Wonderful, any ships you can provide will help immensly." She added.
"SO then what is your plan?" Uso asked, leaning forward and resting her hands on Nosves' desk.
"I am not the admiral in charge of the fleet, therefor I cannot say what his exact plans are.....but for our first steps to get this offiicial I would have you sign an official document noting the ships you will send. Do not worry, they will be back in your space in no time." Nosves said, unrolling a piece of paper noting the details, leaving a place to put the number and class of ships the said government would send.
Uso would look at Nosves... then at the paper.
"Guess that's the price for entry huh?" Uso said, putting her thumb in her mouth and biteing down, then smearing the dripping blood across the bottom part of the paper, the red blood quickly drying into black ink reading
USOs Excalibur.... and escorts.
Nosves took the paper back and smiled. "I thank you greatly for your support." She said simply.
"So what now? Your people will be in touch with my people?" Uso asked.
"The Fleet Admiral will contact you soon with the details, specifically the times and places your ships should be." Nosves said, standing up.
"Well... Ok." Uso said, taking a look at the iconography that was all around... but not really understanding any of it. "You wanna drop the cloak and dagger bit? Get to the good stuff?
