The Ananaki arrived alongside the individual

Meeting the guests was a female Varanus with scarlet scales.

Lady-Scholar Veessk Marmok welcomed the three Ananaki and the strange 7 foot machine.The heat of the desert became more obvious as temperatures rose to a 37 degrees.The soldiers provided cooled canteens of water to the guests as they where led to the temporary command center on the nearby hill.

The command center was a strange tent that was half-metallic in nature,inside was a holotable and a set of chairs overlooking the open valley filled with dunes and some ruins from one of the towering Helix factories that was destroyed during the battle of New Serpentum. Another Varanus welcomed the arrivals,clad in a officer's uniform with medals and symbols tied around his semi-greatcoat that hid the thermal chest-plate so commonly carried among the Varanus.

"Ah welcome..welcome...So glad you could join us for this demonstration....As you may know we have only recently reclaimed the planets Argatu and Turun from it's former Helix occupants and the cost of that action has brought the death of many soldiers before hand.....We have drawn to the conclusion that this was due to a major lack in advanced armored support that could have been deployed....Few other things include a lack of a emp-based weapons system,our inability to infiltrate fortified Helix positions and of course reducing the risk of injury against the weapons Helix deploys.We hope that this meeting of minds can provide solutions whilst showcasing some of the weapons we plan on deploying in the following week."

When the robotic being stepped forth with the others, the Ananaki were surprised that the Varanus allowed him here. What with the Helix war and all...Personally the Ananaki had no qualms with Artificial lives as long as they stayed out of each other's way.

Either way, they were greeted by a scarlett Varanus, and were offered beverages to combat the blasted heat in this world. Together they followed the Varanidae as they were escorted into a large tent where the demonstration would be held.

Co'ekl was eager to get this started. He glanced over towards the ruins of Helix before he turned to Maq, "Were those the factories?"

Maq Ra'im nodded, "There were 3 of them, we overloaded the cores to explode the entire buildings. I think the Varanus are still fiddling with the remains, making sure Helix' influence is truly gone..."

Co'ekl nodded in understanding. He cleared his throat and then motioned for the others to pay attention to their hosts.

After initial introductions Co'ekl responded, "We are honored to be a part of this opportunity. As a token of our gratitude and to further our alliances, we have brought some samples of our own Technology that might aid the Empire's troops in the future battles against Helix."

For once Maq Ra'im just stood back with his younger sibling by his side, and let the older Council member take the lead.
