Rosdax: "I merely did my duty to our lords of House Martael and upheld the honour of clan Amys, many others have done so as well ...even outlanders, like Thiror here, have honoured House Martael through their dedication. As for my clan's standing, we're lords of Engrahynor in Doth and although poor we're a respected family."
Thiror: "Ah, wee ol' Rosdax! a'ways gentle, a'ways modest."

Myranda touches her death tattoo covering part of her head for an instant, and her face seems quite sad and calm : "We have all seen war, yes, however there is nothing heroic about war - only duty and honour ....and love ...and many good people that die for these" Myranda seems ready to cry, however she shakes her head a bit, drinks from her flask and with a calm smile she continues "Are you a fellow warrior yourself?"

Many of the Ghashyr were thrilled by the almost real presentation, Myrsa rose from her seat and made a little bow with her head, all Ghashyr kneeled; "Talmyr Zagara, this is a fascinating and heartbreaking story you shared with us - Talmyr Drokhan was surely a wise leader, your House is certainly an honourable one Talmyr Zagara of House Drokhan. I Also feel sadness for what you experienced and I wish you nothing more but peace and prosperity for your troubled and brave species everywhere they may be." Myrsa turns to Kilysa with a big smile: "Queen, I have to add that you were an adorable youngling."

Selyna: "Great Talmyr Zagara, ...these barbarian 'Oumans', is it sure that they have changed their ways? I understand the necessity of war and casualties, every Ghashyr does  ...but to try eliminate an entire people? That is a terrible sin, an insult to the Illuminating Light."

Tarakith: “ Grandmother something once about war being unfortunate & Sad & should be avoided if possible, she has not yet shared many memories of Formic history with us but we do know that all of our mothers died in the last war Formic’s were in but we were not born until after arriving in this Galaxy.”
 
XerKhon: “Myranda are you alright? You seem to be in pain”

Sivtress: “oh no we have not been in war.”

Zagara to Myrsa: “Thank you Talmyr Myrsa, if it were not for Queen DroKhan Formic’s may never have been united. Yes I wish nothing but peace for my race, I wish none to make the same mistakes that we made & suffered through.”
 
Kilysa: “Thank you Myrsa, im sure I merely looked like any other Queen after hatching.” 

Zagara to Selyna: “From the memories my niece shared with me, I was certain that their exist humans with love, compassion, & respect for peace. The fact that the Human Andrew Wiggins dedicated his life to correcting the mistake of his species helped me find some forgiveness. At that time it was unfortunate that the leaders of their race were such war hungry barbarians, but such creatures were no longer in leadership when I was making my assaults. I admit I have often pondered why their leaders thought it necessary to try to wipe us out, we certainly stopped our own campaign when we realized they were sentient but they did not understand at the time. They were driven by revenge as was I. I left because I needed to in order to find peace. Although when we arrived in this galaxy most species we meet share similarities physically with humans but so far none have been like how they use to be, this has helped me find peace. But let us not dwell to much on the past, its there to learn from as we move forward.”

Zagara turns back to Myrsa: "I believe you requested some information from me earlier, should I give you the memories for them?"

Rosdax: "Your grandmother is wise. We Frontierers never back away from a war, but we do not crave it either."

Myranda looks down a little bit and adresses Xerkhon: "Don't worry. It is just memories of the past that hound me from time to time; that of the death of my daughter's father, but she makes this pain go away." she then turns back to Sivtress "One does not have to go to war to be a warrior. Being a warrior, a guardian of your lord and law, is far more than that. One has to be ready to make sacrifices, be serious and uphold righteousness all the time    ...as well as knowing how to fight."
Thiror: "Aye, 'tis true ...not e'rybody can be ah warrior, 'specialy not tha wimps"
Alina: "Thiror means 'flower-offspring' as you Formics call them."

-~-

Myrsa: "We are mortals, we all learn from our mistakes, from entire civilisations to our own offspring ...it is how it is."

Selyna: "Ah, this is indeed reassuring and it is good you have found peace Great Talmyr. I entirely agree about the past, our society however is based on it  ...in more ways than is imaginable."

Myrsa to Zagara: "Indeed fellow Talmyr, that would be quite appreciatable. I am sure you will have no problem revealing to me the whereabouts of your dominion? Furthermore, I'm quite intrigued by the fact that you have met other species  ...it would be amusing if you helped us to contact them."

Sivtress: "ah I see, so such goes beyond just war, in Formic society Warriors are those who have been in war who have proven to be honourable, I suppose the term for those with these same characteristics who have not yet seen war would depend on their rank."

Valgorr: “hmm… Wimps are Flower childs, although aunt Niadra is not entirely a wimp flower, hehe.”

Zagara: "Yes indeed Myrsa, well stated, there is always something to learn.”

Zagara gives Selyna a curious look but doesn’t say anything.

Zagara to Myrsa: "Very well, try to relax."

As Zagara turns to Myrsa & looks into her eyes, the glowing rims around Zagara’s eyes get alittle brighter. An image of the known galaxy to Formics appears in Myrsa’s mind. The first area highlighted is the Ghashyr’s domain with an image of Myrsa standing next to it, next the Formic’s domain is highlighted with a corresponding image of Zagara. Next are a series of images of species Formic’s have encountered in the Galaxy with their physical data, domain location, & what they are considered to Formics.

Species considered friendly by Formics:
--Mala’kak of Chyrmerion Imperius (Considered as part of the Formic Swarm / Family)
--Diyelians of Diyel Grandiose (Good Friends)
--Grentopians of Grentopia (Trade partner)

Neutral species:
--The Borg of the Borg Imperium (Have only meet in passing, not certain what to make of cybernetic beings)
--Technocrats of Imperial Technocracy (Not entirely trusted by Formics)
--Krosanians of Krosana (Considered quite rude by Formics)

Potentially Hostile Species: (Locations & specific data beyond appearance is Unknown)
--2 types of Creatures of the Mechanical States: (Hostile introductions, uses threats to try & frighten other species, not advised to trust them)

Myranda: "Truth be told, us Ghashyr warriors meet with violence in a daily time  ...even though we are at peace, we have to keep the peace and balance in the hold. I suppose the Formics have a relatable caste to that of a Ghashyr paladin-warrior, no?"

Alina to Valgorr: " 'Flower-wimps' heh  ...Don't misunderstand us, 'Dragontainls' are useful too but they're not meant to fight   ...they'd lose their precious head if they did."
Rosdax: "They aren't as necessary though, chaos would reign if there were no warriors."

-~-

Myrsa lets herself loose and focuses on Zagara.
After the information transfer she shakes her head a bit and adresses the Formic Queen: "That was extremely insightful and helpful fellow Talmyr, but most importantly it proves that you trust us   ...a necessary step in our relations, thank you in behalf of my species." she then nods at Rysannox and he brings a a small metal holographic device, as he touches its upper part the map of the Ghashyr empire with all Ghashyr-inhabited planets shows up, coloured  according to the house that rules them and with the corresponding house's name showing next to each planet's name - It is all however in Urvanyen letters. Myrsa turns back to Zagara: "These are all the Ghashyr Worlds, I give you this map for you to examine it if you wish."

Sivtress: “Ah I see, what keeps Ghashyr in conflict? I think our Hive Guardians are the relatable equivalent, all male Formics, other than our Warlords, who prove themselves achieve this rank.”

Valgorr: “ah I see, not everyone is meant to fight, Its just an odd thing to think off, all Formics are born & breed into specific roles or duties, from worker Drones all the way to Queens.”
 
Tarakith to Rosdax: “Although the idea of paradise or Heaven suggests that here is no war in it, although I suppose heaven is the only place were chaos doesn’t exist.”

Zagara looks over the map matching it with the map saved in her memories & then transfers the updated map to Rokarr, Kilysa, her Hive Guardians, & the Overseers.

Zagara: “Thank you fellow Talmyr, I believe Kilysa has something she would like to speak to you about alittle later.”

Myranda: "Disagreements, crime, uprisings  ..all these lead to violence and that's where we come in. I mean if some Formics started acting aggressively, wouldn't the Hive Guardians engage them and put them down?"

Alina: "Well, sure, we Ghashyr 'Saryn' forbid the 'Lauinda' from having weapons  ..they take care of farming and we protect them."

Rosdax seems rather confused by such an alien concept as 'paradise' "What is this 'paradise' you speak of? Nevertheless, I'm sure that if they lack chaos there, some great paladins are responsible for keeping the peace."

-~-

Myrsa: "Certainly, but why later?" she then turns to Kilysa "Feel free to ask your query Queen Kilysa, I assure you; I won't bite."

Sivtress to Myranda: "Ah you are all truly Guardians of your house, I suppose if some of the Drones got out of hand then yes the Hive Guardians would engage, but I’ve never seen or heard of such a thing.”

Valgorr to Alina: "Lauinda, is this what you call your workers?"

Tarakith to Rosdax: “Paradise is a word we learned from the Chrymerions, its another word for heaven I believe, or at least something similar. Ah yes come to think of it perhaps we should re-designate or Warlords to the rank of Paladin.”

Rynza: “They do seem to have a few similar duties, it is logical.”

Kilysa psionically to Zagara: “MOOM, I was just going to stop the firestorms, is it not the right thing to do.”

Zagara to Kilysa: “It is a noble deed, but we do not own Remelax therefor we should ask permission before tampering with the planet, I know it is a situation that we sympathize with but it is only proper we ask, certainly now that we have established a alliance we must respect Ghashyr protocols.”

Kilysa walks up to her mom & Myrsa & sits down.

Kilysa: “Well Myrsa actually I have 2 items to ask of you. First is that while I was on Remelax I was close to discovering how to stop the fire storms & revitalize the planet but I wanted to ask your permission before tampering. Second I wanted to know what is to happen to Myranda & her crew?”

Myranda: "We try. Pherhaps that is because your society is based on hiveminds, but I'm glad that you understand.

Alina to Valgorr: "Well...   ..they're not all workers  ..some are merchants and artists; the Lauinda are the lower castes of Ghashyr, while all warriors are Saryn -nobles-."
Thiror: "Aye, s'not that Lauinda a'en't capable o' great things though."

Rosdax: "What is heaven? I've heard of Pengurians speak of a divine place, but it seems to be an unlikely concept most Ghashyr consider rather weird    ...us Light-believers believe that all enlightened souls unite with Azgor Tal and become one-with-the-light; Illuminated   ...Draconians believe that our souls unite with the universe and contribute to the circle of life, then being born again as new souls. These Chrymerions sound like a peculiar folk..."

Govis looks down on Kilysa for not addressing Myrsa without a title, but Myrsa seems rather indifferent and smiling she speaks to her "Such straightforwardness, impressive! Anyway, Queen Kilysa I assure you that no consequencies will burden any vassals of House Martael, only Lord Ator will have to answer for not following the protocol; we do not punish mere underlings for following orders." Myrsa's tone suddenly becomes less friendly and more serious "Regarding your 'tampering' within  Remelax, I will allow you -as a move of goodwill- to investigate and come to a conclusion  ...however I strictly demand that you will inform me of any progress, otherwise I'll consider it a direct insult to my name -and in extense to the Empire- by you personally, which will mean that if such a thing happens you will have to face penalties and if the Formic Empire refuses to accept that, I'm afraid our relations might face a deterioration. Understood?"

Valgorr: "Ah I see, I wonder what the other Krith will become."

Rynza: "Yes ive wondered the same thing since all Krith are capable of being singular sentient."

Tarakith: “I suppose heaven would be a divine place, I’m not entirely certain of the full concept of the word. Yes, every species we’ve meet have been peculiar.”

Zagara gave Kilysa an interesting look as Myrsa spoke, seemingly watching both of her daughters carefully.


Rokarr psionically to Kilysa: “You really should be less straight forward during official discussions, something you need to learn sooner rather than later, Ghashyr are more formal then what your use too so being a bit more formal will gain you more respect.”


Kilysa: “Thank you Talmyr Myrsa in sparing them, & yes I fully understand, I can transfer everything I’ve found out thus far if you wish?

Myranda: "I'm sure your Queen will know best."
Alina turns with a quite excited look to Valgorr: "What you would like to be? You could be anything!"

Rosdax responds with a grin on his face "Well, same's for us regarding that last part! You all look quite exotic, which is not bad at all."

-~-

Myrsa has a rather cold, calm and judging look in her eyes; "Please dear Queen, I'm quite curious to learn what your research has uncovered so far regarding this mysterious case."
Rysannox and Selyna look at Myrsa while subtly smiling, she looks back at them noding them to cut it out.

(Be careful)

Valgorr: "I know my future duties will be to command a portion of Formic Forces & protect the Queens, but other then that im not sure, ill have to find a life pursuit outside of my duties." 

Sivtress: "Exotic, what is this word?"

Zagara & Rokarr noticed the brief exchange between Myrsa, Rysannox, & Selyna. Zagara thought of interrupting but she thought this would be a good lesson for Kilysa to learn in politics with other races. Formic’s tend to believe in experience over theory.

Rokarr however didn’t like not knowing what was going on, so she carefully & quietly tried to peer into Rysannox & Selyna’s mind to see why they were smiling. She took great care to hide her actions from her mom to not incur any punishments.

Kilysa wasn’t certain what she had said to cause the change in tone of Myrsa so she tried to be careful in only sharing part of what she found concerning the fire storms in Myrsa’s mind. “Well so far I’ve found that the storms are generated from an unnatural source, but I do not know their origin.”

(Be careful)

(Kilysa messed up didn’t she? , I hope this doesn’t end badly, I’ll try to be careful.)

Alina: "That seems like a great duty, but don't you wish for anything other? What you like to do in your free time?"
Myranda: "Pardon Alina dear Valgorr, we get rather excited sometimes. I hope you do not feel cornered by questions."

Rosdax: "It describes something that has a peculiar, or otherwordly, yet amusing appearance."

-~-
-~-
-~-

Both Selyna and Rysannox, being unfamiliar with psionic powers don't sense anything.
Selyna's thoughts to Rokarr ("The disre--ect-ul ali-n mus- be tre--ndou-ly na-ve to -all for t-at on-, I -et s-e'll lie...")
Rysannox' thoughts to Rokarr ("We-l pla-ed, we'll ge- to k-ow if Ki--sa kno-s a-out R---lax and -as be-n invo--ed with-ut ou- co-se-t.")
Holding her her power mask during the whole time Myrsa senses psionic energy that is very close to her, she turns to Rokarr and gives her a curious look, but she moves on.

Myrsa stands back after receiving the information, gazes a second time at Rokarr and adresses Kilysa, her face seems steady as steel and her look targeted to the young Formic Queen: "My good and noble Queen, might I inquire how you know the firestorms are generated by an unnatural source? You said you do not know their origin.  ...many Ghashyr scientists had lost all hope so far as to the nature of the Firestorms."

(I'll consider that Rokarr is using her powers very subtly, as such, the message she'll get will not be very comprehensible  ..but can be understood if you try hard enough.)

Valgorr to Alina: "Well I have not thought of anything else but know im thinking of everything I could do, free-time? Is this a different type of time?”

Valgorr to Myranda: "Oh no questions are good, it is part why we were born, to explore life as singular sentient’s do, to some extent."

Sivtress to Rosdax: “we are pleasant & exotic."

Tegedar: "Pleasantly exotic, hehe."

-_
-_
-_

Seeing Myrsa turn towards her Rokarr gives her an equally curious look to try & defuse Myrsa’s suspension while trying to decipher through what she gathered from Selyna & Rysannox’s thoughts as quickly as possible.

From Selyna, the disrespectful alien must be __ Naïve to fall for that_, I __ she’ll lie.

From Rysannox, well played we’ll __ know if Kilysa knows about Remelax & _ _ involved without _ consent.

Realizing most of what was said Rokarr quickly sends a secret message to Kilysa. “Don’t respond to this now, but don’t tell her about the signals, only what you uncovered before.….”

Zagara noticed an increase in Rokarr’s psionic energy & interrupted her message & spoke psionically to her: “What are you doing Rokarr?” 

“I’m giving Kilysa advice to help her regain respect.”

“Do not interfere, this will be a good lesson for Kilysa, plus Myrsa has psionic capabilities but im not certain of what extant as we are not familiar with the form of psionic’s Ghashyr use, so don’t do anything to give her false alarm, also this is a good opportunity to find out more about Ghashyr, Myrsa’s change in tone & the brief reactions from some of their dignitaries makes me think something else is going on.”

Rokarr keeps her unassuming posture as Myrsa gazes at her again. She thinks back to her conversation with Ator looking for comparisons to what is now happening.
 
Kilysa to Myrsa: “Yes of course Talmyr Myrsa, being a fellow scientist myself I know a significant amount about radiation & other area’s. But I noticed in trial & error that anytime I had the firestorms absorbed or stopped they would regenerate, plus the patterns in which they move seems too specific to be natural.”
 
(poor Kilysa, so young & naïve.)

Alina: "I guess...  ..though us warriors must be alert all times and be able to answer to our lord's call."

Myranda: "Oh, that is nice, we wouldn't want to tire you..."

Rosdax smiles at Tegedar's world play and talks to Sivtress: "It is not very often that we get to view a species that is similar to us, yet different   ...so, yes 'pleasantly exotic' you are."
Thiror that stands next Rosdax closes to him and mutters "Aye pal, Oi kno' ya've been without ah lass fo' long, but Light be damned!"
Rosdax turns to him with the most dissaproving look he could master: "By Azghor Tal, Thiror! Can't anyone be simply nice?"
Thiror: "Jus' say'n..."

-~-

Myrsa gives Rokarr a rather serious look, although too quick to gather attention. She then turns to Kilysa with a friendly smile and in calm voice: "Ah, of course  ...your cause of knoweledge as a scientist is quite noble Queen Kilysa. You said the patterns that the firestorms move are specific, correct? So since you actually know the patterns and thus have a stable variable, you could propably find quite easily the location as well, no? I'd rush to find out if I were in your place Queen!"

(Rokarr stahp. what are you doin' Rokarr. <:U )
