Keya had found out spectre ruined the relation between the nypherians and the immortals and figured something HAD to be done, the nypherians were way too much of an ally to let go, on top of that the immortals would be pushed in a tight spot soon enough with them bordering with a faction that might not like them so much. She however has noticed the Nypherian leader, "srox" eyeing at her and she soon figured out that positive comments like her "you fought well" were extremely rare directed towards outsiders, she it seemed she had something that caught srox's eye so she set up a meeting with her, this time not on apex-122 but on her own viral battleship.

She had ordered a maid to tidy up her office to give a better impression, dressed in her usual rogue armor she waited in the landing bay of her viral ship for the Nypherian leader to arrive, hopefully she could undo spectre's damage by herself and heal the crappy communication between the immortals and the nypherians. 

On the ship there were many bacteria walking around, with them being the backbone of the immortals it was no wonder these thickly armored combatants were numerous on keya's ship, along with them there were many mechanics looking after the weapons and the mechaballus' on the ship, it was a strange sight to see highly educated men walking around with robotic horses.

To rekindle the relationship between her people and the Immortals, that is important to her. Though, there was something different about this girl. She wasn’t sure of the reason or why she felt different around her. Maybe she didn’t bath? No, she smelled fine and it is obvious she bathed. Srox fumbled with the logic and reasoning as to why she felt this way about the girl. It highly irritated her and for making that comment about her “Combat”, she never does that. Maybe what he father had said to her a while back had placed her in an “Emotional funk”. Within the drop ship, she nodded to herself, acknowledging her own logic.

The ship landed on the hangar bay and she left the ship. She instructed her soldiers to stay and wait for her. Reluctantly, they obeyed but kept a heavy guard on the ship, watching every movement. As she was leaving the ship, she spotted Keya waiting for her. She let out a sigh as she walked towards her. “Greetings, where shall we discuss the terms of rebuilding out alliance between our nations?” she asked. Her eyes looked around the hangar to remember things and places, just in case if things went south.

she saw lord srox arrived and greeted her with a smile before walking up to her, as she spoke, she did her best to be nicer than usual. "welcome! i trust your journey has been enjoyable, we shall discuss the revival of our alliance in my office, unfortunatly the office is on the other ship for if we were to be attacked, officers could escape easier. So for now i hope you dont mind walking along with me while i give you a tour."

Keya was accompanied by 4 bacteria troops, who saluted srox as she exited her own ship. the ship itself was placed a bit more on the side with moving platforms to make place for immortal carrier ships dropping off supplies to the troops on this ship. The bacteria were ordered to stay with srox's ship. As keya led srox around the ship while heading to the office they wandered past many training areas and a good 70 procent of the troops on here were these heavily armored green colored soldiers named bacteria.

"this ship was a special design, specifically for boarding to free prisoners and disable the enemy's defenses and ultimately render them defenseless. Though i guess you did not come over for trivial facts on our warships..." 

soon they came into the office area after keya slid her keyacard through a scanner and opened up a big gate wich was marked "civil area" it was quite obvious this is where freed prisoners were stored as there were alot of internal autonomous defenses as well as an increased amount of security and that alot of the people here did not look like officers or members, most of them wore very bland standard clothing and carried burnmarks or other kinds of prisoner markings. 


"as you can imagine, we are quite unpopular among pirates and such, as a result we get attacked on a frequent basis, though they hardly ever show to be more than a minor delay and more prisoners we can free, the prisoners are offered shelter here until we can bring them back to apex 122 where they get provided assistance with returning home under escort", from here is was a short walk to keyas office, she opened the door and let srox go in first before entering herself and closing the door behind her.

She pulled back a seat for srox that was in front of her desk and sat down in the chair behind the desk. "now, down to bussines, spectre has greatly stained your view upon our organization, we have grown quite a bit since our last encounter. though, i have not much i can offer really that would be interesting for you and your faction other than money, wich we have plenty of. so, could i ask you to make a proposal of what we could do to redeem ourselves?"

She listened to everything Keya had said, though, she wasn’t interested in learning about the ship. With tensions growing within the Senate and Nypherian High Command, she had to be here to smooth things over. Annoyingly enough, she still had that odd feeling she couldn’t shake off. “There isn’t anything I can specifically do, that’s not how things work within the Empire. We go by rulings through the Senate and High Command. We have slowly removed power that is held by one person, believing in the power of our people. I, along with High Command and the Senate, made many rulings distributing power. I am no longer the “leader” per say but I am the highest-ranking member of High Command.” She cleared her throat and still couldn’t shake that feeling off her. It now began to greatly irritate her but on the surface, she seemed fine. With the many years of training and becoming a Void Lord, she could easily hide her emotions.

“All of this started is with the person I first met. She seemed she only wanted our inventions as a guard dog, seemed ungrateful when we gave her people resources and other minor technology, and he attitude in talking to me. There is also the issue with Omega. The Nypherian Senate viewed it as pushing your weight on the weak. This actions spread across the GNN and the VNN, thus painting you as a criminal organization. Though, we may agree and the negative afflictions of slavery, interfering outside your territories and very close to Kyodain and Nypherian trade routes. This has caused a “worry” if you may to grow within the Empire. I will be honest, the Senate and High Command wished that I didn’t come here and we cut our connections. I had to make a plea for permission to do so. However, with the Asmodians now focusing you and your value…and talent in combat is what I admire.” She only paused a bit when it came to complementing her again on her fighting talent.

"the problem is that i was not involved in either of these operations, one was led by viktor and i have no idea why spectre was greenlit to recieve you, the problem is that we are led by multiple individuals who all control missions and tasks individualy without having to really consult eachother unless it's of great magnitude to our faction." she says, this whole ruling mechanic bothered her as it made people like spectre authorized to do dumb things in name of the faction, as srox has noticed probaply.

"you have my thanks for helping us out when those asmodians attacked, and my personal appreciation for your comment on my combat expertise, thousands of yours of perfection of old combat traditions, i would say you fought well too, but perhaps you already knew that, besides you dont like quite my age yet either... anyway, scrapping our relations would probaply not be of much of a disaster for you, but it could leave us vulnerable out there, especially citizens would need to be moved to imm'enne out of precaution, i know there are factions out there that are fond of abduction..."


she leaned back in her chair a bit. "is there something our faction or i can do to help make it better?"

She appreciated the effort Keya was trying to do to make the situation better between both of their nations. However, it would be useless for her to have her do anything. “As I have said before, there isn’t much I can do or you can do by yourself. Though, I think it would be go for you to understand our culture and way of thinking we as Nypherians. I think that you and I should travel to Chyke. The home planet of the Senate. It would also be good for you to see how life goes about. Then, it would be good for you to kinda grasp how things are looked at from our point of view.” She said as she sat up straight in her chair. She still felt odd about Keya, not really grasping at how and why she felt the way she did.

Maybe the opinions of the Senate and the High Command had started to rub off on her. They all had a negative opinion about the Immortals. Not truly trusting them because of their past actions and previous treatment.

Keya felt the tension, she kind of had a knack for knowing when people were upset with her, she didnt know what to think of being instructed to follow srox to a planet she didnt know, she trusted that srox wasnt plotting to kill or harm her and thus agreed to following her to chyke. "i trust i will be safe in your presence then? im certainly willing to follow you but as you can imagine, i need to notify the faction leader that i will go off his radar for a while..." she says as she picks up a phone on her desk and uses it to call her boss, after severalminutes she is ready and leads srox out of the office.

They walked out of the office and towards the hangar. The small drop ship had been waiting and the Nypherian soldiers were waiting. They had gotten on the ship and sat down. “It will only take a second for us to enter Nypherian space. Once we enter space, we will make our way towards Chyke. Then, I will show you around.” She said as the small craft lifted off the ground. It moved slowly towards the small fleet outside the planet. Once they boarded the ship and the hangar closed. The fleet entered warp and emerged over the planet, Chyke.

The fleet landed on the ground and they left the large ships. The city they landed in had white buildings and plants were growing around them. These plants were placed to make it look natural among the buildings. Small civilian ships flew above and with the amount of traffic, it was obviously rush hour. They walked through the crowds of many alien species that weren’t native to the galaxy. They all wore formal outfits that would seem for only important meetings, but on Chyke, its considered normal.

keya had a relaxed smile on her face the whole time, anyone in possesion of a lifeline could call themselves safe really, right now all keya had to worry about was being nice to her bussines partner. "Huh, it's quite busy isnt it?" she says in response to the traffic, she exited the ship along with srox and stayed near her, as she walked around chyke with srox. "i already like how sharp everyone dresses here, as you may have noticed we dont really have clothing prescriptions on apex, perhaps i should propose it to tower..."

“Chyke, the home system of the Senate. Everyone seems fancy because of how important the system is to our government. Everything is taken seriously at a certain level of respect to this world and how you present yourself. Other systems are a bit different but this is fancier for obvious reasons.” She said as they kept on walking through the streets towards a very large building. The wording on the building was Nypherian Dialect, thus making it hard for Keya to read. Srox pointed towards the building, “That is the Senate. Where all the bickering and debating happens. There will be a session soon, ironically enough it’s about possible tensions between the Kyodain and the Immortals.”

"i have ironically not heard of the kyodian...but if tensions are a problem between us ill have tower propose an alliance with them, but i dont know them though so ill do it after i've had an audience with your senate...they're going to be mad at me arent they...?" she says walking along with srox, she did her best not to look at srox's shapes for too long, flirting could happen later she needed to focus on not having the nypherians drop them.

She entered the building with srox paying close attention to the design of the building, so far it looked quite advanced but nothing to be absolutely amazed by. Perhaps because the immortals were skyrocketting in terms of tech too, perhaps one day they could match their tech one day...

As they entered the Senate building, there is a lot of security. Nypherian soldiers stood guard as the meeting of the senators is in session. They moved out of the way of Lord Srox and saluted her. Srox passed and they dropped their salute as Keya walked by. Their heads moved as they watched her pass by. The room followed with a pathway towards one of the elevators. Srox walked up and pressed the “call “button, opening the doors. “Remember, there is a session going on. We must be as quite as possible. The booth we’re getting is High Commands personal booth. The sound proof glass covering will be placed so we can talk freely, until it closed, keep quite.” She says as the elevator stops and opens to the booth. Within the chamber, is a very large room.

Each senator had their own booths. The room had a hundred in total that spiraled along the walls till they reached the top. Srox let Keya walk in first and she caught herself looking at Keya’s curves. She grew annoyed with herself as she couldn’t believe she was doing that. Shaking off her frustrations, she walked in after Keya and closed the sound proof covering. The sound of the discussions came through the speakers of the room. Srox sat down and listened.
 
“Reports are coming from the Kyodain that they have Dominated another world. The inhabitants have stated their fear of the Immortals and being forced to bow to their laws. “

“The Immortals actions on Omega were crass and aggressive. Such actions are warlike and should be noted within the senate.”

“The Senate, acknowledges all information regarding our closest allies and activities within the Galaxy.”

Keya headed in and looked back, she caught srox eyeing up her apearance, in response she blushed a little bit and awkwardly smiled, but ignored it mostly she needed srox for information anyway so this flirting back had to wait until she had this audience with the senate. she leaned in a bit closer to srox and whispers "so, how long do you think i have to wait to get a chat with them? you have no idea how scrapping our alliance would negatively impact our faction...so be sure to let me know when im allowed to speak with them."

Srox placed a finger to her lps and then pointed towards the senate. “Things are more complicated than that. They won’t instantly vote on dismantling an agreement that was created by me. The actions of a Lord Executor are handled more carefully and diligently. Sure, your people haven’t made good impressions on the Senate and High Command. However, that’s not enough evidence for a vote to go through. Besides, High Command already voted against breaking the agreement. This meeting is about that vote and how the Senate will react.”

The senators continued their debates that went back and forward. There were some that spoke out against the votes of the High Command and implied that the Immortals couldn’t be trusted because they’re radicals in their beliefs. Others debated that a select for doesn’t give them the right to paint that picture on all of them. Now, more were in favor of letting matters sit and watch how the events will unfold. Sure enough, the vote came through and it was an 85-15 vote to let matters slide. The debating had taken hours to finally come to an end. By the time Srox and Keya had left the building, it had become nightfall.

“There is my place on the other side of the city. You’re welcome to stay the night. I am sure the Senate preceding had been draining to listen too.”

after the debate, she was absolutely destroyed, she was accostumed to meetings by now but she never had never had one last this long, she was already known for flipping her pen 15 minutes into immortal meetings, but she needed to behave here and that was visible on her face. and she couldnt loosen up yet because srox was nearby, though maybe now was a better time to respond to srox's flirts, not sure if she'd get her to look again she had to step up her apearance a bit and altered her walk a bit to a more ponounced catwalk as she followed srox, but with her being tired it was just a bit awkward but had it's effect anyway.

Srox felt the lack of energy in her body as they made their way to the train. She had initially planned on taking Keya to her place to sleep for the day. The only issue is that it would take maybe 30 minutes to get to her place. She had become so tired that her eyes were slowly closing from lack of energy. She only paused to notice Keya had been walking differently. She only raised an eyebrow, "You look silly when you're doing that. Especially when you're equally as tired as I am." she said as they made it to the train station. The hover train had been waiting and left once they boarded.

The ride itself only took 15 minutes. The route took them through downtown sectors of the city. The train finally came to a stop and Srox's place wasn't too far away now. They continued walked until they came to a house that rested on a hill that over looked the city. The city glowed in the distance. "The shower is on the right down the hallway and the open room is on the left."

as soon as she heard her awkward catwalk was rather ridiculing than endearing she quit and normally walked along with srox. soon they arrived at srox's place and it was a relief to her she could finally rest or at least refresh herself, she wandered to the bathroom and went in, but not before leaning her head out. "hey, can i use your shower please?"

Srox had her eyes closed by the time Keya had poked her head out the door. She wasn't asleep yet but she was about to fall asleep. She had been pulled from sleep once she heard Keya talk down the hallway. She had no idea what she said, she just raised her arm and waved her hand. With the minimal strength she had left, she turned the TV on. The VNN had been on, "Tonight's report consists of the conflict still raging on Abiri. Reports say that the Synthetic Division have begun support and assault operations. With the Nypherian forces finally able to break through the enemy lines, they begun road troop operations. In other words, our trade has begun again with the Immortals, with the lessening of tensions, trade has been approved by High Command. Though, reports say that one of our trader workers have spotted Lucifer, leader of the Lucian Kingdom, discussing things with the Leader of the Immortals."

The TV is loud enough for Keya to hear. The mention of the name "Lucifer" caused Srox to open both eyes and glare at the TV.

Keya stayed in the bathroom for quite a while, but once she got out she looked completely refreshed with a big grin on her face, once she cleaned up behind her and put on her armor again she sat down next to srox. she cracks her wrists and neck before laying back in the couch next to srox while absentmindedly paying attention to the news report, she had a more emotionless bored expression on her face until her faction was mentioned on TV, she saw how the report of lucifer being on apex 122 made srox pay close attention but before she could even turn to him, the TV footage showed tower frowning at lucifer. Then before srox could even turn around keya gave her her lifeline device that showed a text message from tower where he notifies keya that she should be on stand by to chase down luci's ship if necesary.

"This is the last thing we need. Lucifer asking everyone to ally him. It's odd though, making statements that he is neutral. Here is is, trying to gain allies for some purpose. If he is neutral, he would stay out of Galactic politics. It's obvious that he had an agenda." Srox mumbled to herself, though she is loud enough for Keya to hear her. A growl escaped her lips as she disliked the man greatly, even the Senate and High Command greatly disapproved on the Lucian Kingdom. A phone rang and Srox got up to grab the phone. She meandered towards the phone, "Yea. Wait, what?! How many? How long do we have? Send orders to mobilize all divisions to Iathea then. I will be there tomorrow morning for the briefing. I want the Senate and the rest of High Command informed."

She placed the phone back were she grabbed it and stormed off towards her room. On the TV, the news switched to breaking news. The headlines were "Asmodian Forces moving on Iathea, 1 million ships have been detected. Anu Mau leads the attack force!"

keya was just considering on getting up and seeing what nightlife on chyke had to offer, most likely very little but chyke had to have some sort of neighborhood with recreation for the citizens, perhaps she could find a bar or a club, though her ideas were shattered when she heard srox respond to an emergency call from her associates. "srox, need any help fighting them off? i can signal for viral ships to come and help, and even get tower or sylvia to come over."

"No, I don't need to involve you in the war between the Asmodians and my people. This war is personal and Its between me and Anu Mau. I will kill them all, I swear it." she said in anger as she stormed off in her room. She needed sleep and to mentally prepare for combat. She had a long night of meditation in front of her. She walked into a room next to her bedroom, closing the door behind her. Her anger flooded her mind and threw her magic off balance, causing massive amount of pain. She walked in the middle of the room and sat down crossed legged.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She let herself slip into a deep meditation. Red mists of void magic slowly flowed around her, showing the conflict within her mind. Within seconds, the color red shifted to the color white. Showing the balance within her emotions. Through her frustration she forgot to lock the door to her meditation room.

"hey, were here to help you, srox. We may not match nypherians in firepower and numbers, but you saw how we use the lifelines to keep our soldiers alive and how much damage our bacteria can soak up...and even if you dont want my soldiers along, i'll come along anywa-" she says to her, being cut off by her walking into a certain room.

she slowly follows srox there and looks at her meditating, it looked alot like sun elves communicating with their goddess, keya didnt know what exactly srox was doing but she decided to enter the room and sit next to her, putting her hand on srox's shoulder, smiling subtlely.

In that moment, everything in the room changed. In fact, Keya found herself no longer within the room. The world around her had changed. She stood within a thick mist of purples, blues, and pink. The colors swirled around and reacted to her body movements and changed their colors randomly. Like touching a planet that would curl away after being touched, the mist would react if something moved through it. IN fact, the only thing she could see is the mist, since it is too thick to see anything else. Soon, she heard footsteps echo around her. As the noise drew closer, she could now tell that they were coming from in front of her. A silhouette formed in front of her, yet the mist is so thick, she couldn't see any features.

"If you stay by Srox's side and follow her to Iathea. It will change the current path you're walking on.."

When the mist surrounded her she almost wanted to reach for her pistol and return fire but settled down and holstered her pistol again. she stood up straight and followed the silhouette, she tried to fight back her cocky personality but couldnt help but let out a comment. "heh, i've heard that one before..."  as she wanders towards the sillhouette.
