Spartan Sebastian Duarte entered the room next, his towering form being followed closely by an ODST. Next in line were Rear Admiral Yusuf Al Thani, representative of the UNSC with two others: Governor Nelson Holt to his right and Rear Admiral Zhang Wei, representatives of the UEG and ONI respectively. All three walked side-by-side, carrying a small tablet each under their arms, with another ODST trailing behind them.

They arrived on the opposite side of the table with an ODST guarding each side, Sebastian himself standing off to the right a bit. The Spartan looked around the large room, examining and taking in his surroundings before resting his gaze on Jaya opposite who was accompanied by two other individuals.

Yusuf cleared his throat. "On behalf of the UNSC, we'd like to extent our greetings to the Alliance of Kings" He said, a polite smile on his face.

Kitty arrived a few moments later, displeasure clear on her face for a few moments before she straightened and schooled her tanned features into a professional expression. She had just had a rather tiring meeting with the King of the Vampires and the Alpha Lycan in the other dimension, after the battle over half a month ago, tensions between the two species and whether or not they would help were strained. She gave a nod in Sebastian's direction, a dead eyed stare to the ONI representative, and a calculating look to the UEG representative. 

Then she looked to her daughter, her professional expression dropping for a second to give her daughter a reassuring smile. Then the expression was back up as she walked over to her and stood by her side, waiting for the meeting to begin.

"Now all sides are present, we may begin." The official of Mytheria announced, an elf who looked to be in his species' later years. "We are here to discuss the formation of the Galactic Systems Union, a formation of peace and prosperity in the civilised galaxy. To begin it is best if each sides states their intents, and what they wish to see from such an alliance." His head bowed towards Jaya first, giving her the courtesy to begin.

"My people want safety and security, from the Crusade and from persecution." Her eyes glanced aside for a moment to the ONI representative. It was a touchy issue because of the past, but she wanted to make sure everything was laid out. "The Knights were my father's legacy and have such carried on into the Alliance. We would want them to serve as major peacekeepers in the Union, since I think they would benefit us all." The Mytherian Elf gave a smile and a nod at this, before Jaya continued. 

"I also think there should be no blurred lines or disagreements. We should lead the Union equally and without secrets. Share technology, resources and armies. Only with this trust can we defeat the Demons." A deep breath ended her statement.

"And what would the UNSC want from this Union?" The Mytherian official turned his head now to Yusuf and the other men.

Yusuf glanced over to the elf before looking back at Jaya. Instead of him however, the UEG governor spoke first:
"Before we begin with our intentions for this alliance, I would like to make a few things clear. It hasn't been easy for humanity in the last couple of centuries. Five hundred years ago we were for the first time ever exposed to the truth of the existence of supernaturals. Humanity has been over the course of these centuries, attacked and invaded and slaughtered by supernatural and alien threats alike. It is for this reason that what may have been viewed as persecution..." The ONI representatives head snapped to look at Governor Nelson before looking forward again "...happened in the first place anyway. I admit, mistakes were made and we as humans have decided to rectify those mistakes."

"So yes, I do agree with the lady standing opposite, there should be no disagreements. We should work together as one, set aside any differences, any vendettas and work towards achieving the common goal of peace. As such, I would personally like to declare the green light for the UNSC to share its weapons and technologies with the Alliance of Kings." The governor finished with a smile before looking over to Yusuf. The ONI representative had what could almost be discerned as a frown on his face, but he made no comment as of yet.

"What we want, is simply, everyone's full cooperation in this Union. In order for that to happen, we should as Jaya said, unite our resources, technologies, weaponry and armies. The Knight's Initiative will be re-opened on Earth with academies opening across every single human colony, should there be any supernaturals residing on those planets too." Yusuf paused as he typed onto his tablet, before placing it onto the table in front of him. "We have no doubt that from a militaristic standpoint, this Union will be successful and enable both factions to prosper as one."

A holographic projection from the tablet showed representations of the most successful joint human-supernatural operations team in history: Fireteam Aqua consisting of all six Spartans along with Kitty, Gavin, Endymion and Dan's human form. This was then followed by footage of each victory this Fireteam managed to secure purely through teamwork and their reliance on each other.
"This footage," Yusuf continued, "is evidence enough that should we all put our effort and honesty into this Union, we can ensure this level of cooperation and brotherhood across both UNSC and Alliance territories. Build upon the foundation that this team laid for us."

As advanced as Nypherian warp speed was, it's still hard to traverse an entire galaxy and arrive at a meeting on time. The moment his Nypherian frigate popped out of warp, Elias took a drop ship down to the meeting place on the surface.

In a suit of light Nypherian combat armor concealed under a set of black and navy blue robes, Elias entered the meeting room. The clacks of his staff knocking against the stone echoed throughout the chamber. With Aiwenor at his hip and his satchel pushed behind, Elias found himself inside just as the UNSC representative finished his speech in agreement to the new alliance between the UEG and the Alliance.

"Get rid of ONI and have full transparency with the people and that alliance of yours just might work," Elias stated, he walked further into the room and casually seated himself in a chair near the middle of the table. "that is if the Demons don't flatten your border defenses before this meeting is over."

With a sigh Kitty pinched the bridge of her nose, basically more professionally face-palming at Elias. "Elias, everyone is here because everyone is an essential puzzle piece. And you would know that if you had bothered to be on time." She hissed out the last part, bringing her hand away from her face and straightening. She turned to Yusuf, looking at the footage fondly with nostalgia in her eyes but sadness in her smile. She missed going on missions and adventures with her friends, she missed Aaron especially. With him there was no drama, and that was exceedingly refreshing. 

"I would very much like to get back to those times. This current war between the supernaturals and ONI is stressful and in my personal opinion, way off base." Then Kitty stopped to actually consider Elias's words, maybe they held a little truth, but perhaps not enough to get rid of ONI entirely. "If you'd like peace, how about for a start you release the supernaturals you took into your custody, back into our custody." Her smile was now thin and seemingly professional, but there was a definite ferocity beneath it. "Unless you actually believe that each and every one is a terrorist. But then again, wouldn't that be exactly like what you did after 9/11 all those centuries ago? Imprison everyone of interest? We wouldn't want to go through the fiasco of untying that knot again now would we?"

"Enough!" The Mytherian official shouted, his voice echoing in an attempt to silence everyone who was or might try to speak. "We are not here to put ONI or anyone on trial for what has happened. Any discretionary actions like the sort you speak of can be discussed in a governmental meeting, not here." He now relaxed slightly, speaking onward in a calm tone. "Lady Jaya, is there anything else you would like to add to the original topic?"

"In terms of joint Military we have decided to offer your admirals and generals the key positions
in a unified army. Your men have the most experience and we will not seek to intrude ourselves on their positions. Of course all races from across both our nations should be free to enlist, and some day Elves or Dwarves might rise to positions of command, but to begin we would wish you to provide your expertise." Jaya gave a small glance to the Fey King beside her before continuing.

"As for our contributions; all our ships and troops are yours to integrate however is easy for you. The only thing we require is honorary positions of Commanders for our graduated Knights and their Masters, who will as stated be key to securing our defense and security." After Jaya had finished King Veilsong added in his usual soft tone;
"And we would see that our researchers work closely to best our advancements. The unity of magic and technology is an interesting prospect for us all."

Jaya nodded at Veilsong, before turning back with nothing more to say.
"Representatives of Humanity, what are your views on these proposals? And do you have any more to add?" The Mytherian Official turned too, now listening intently to Yusuf and his accompanying men.

Admiral Zhang Wei threw Elias and then Kitty a look of grimace and came very close to retaliating against their accusations until the Mytherian official silenced the entire room. The ONI representative instead breathed in and out and relaxed himself, allowing his colleagues to do the talking for now.

"Likewise," Yusuf began, "we won't intrude on your positions either. With the advent of this new alliance, the UNSC offers the Alliance of Kings all the intel they need." The ONI representative shot Yusuf a glare before again relaxing himself and looking forward. Furthermore, the UNSC offers its science division to work in cohesion with the supernaturals and integrate, as you said, technology with magic. I am sure these endevours will be most fascinating for both sides and something from which we can both benefit."

Just as Yusuf finished, the UEG governor Nelson spoke.
"Furthermore, on the topic of ONI. We will work to dismantle and then completely rebuild the intelligence agency from the ground-"
"Sir! With respect-" the ONI representative began to protest before being cut off by the governer,
"-respectfully Admiral, ONI has in caused us more harm than good in these matters," The governer snapped. "The events that took place a month ago were evidence enough that our intelligence agency can not be trusted anymore. Therefore significant changes shall be made to your command structure as well as the methods through which you claim to gather your intel. Is that understood?"
"...yes sir."
The governor turned back to the others. "ONI will be completely re-established as an agency that will closely monitor the activities of any potential threat to our alliance, and in turn we will actively monitor their methods as well so as to prevent any further problems." The ONI representative frowned, however he did his best to hide his displeasure.

"All that we want from you, is nothing more than swearing allegiance to us for the betterment of both the humans and supernaturals, and in turn we shall do the same" The governor finished.

Elias sat quietly with a quiet soft smile on his face. His comment on ONI had done some good after all. The tyrannic agency had nothing but their own interests in mind rather than the goal they were created for: to protect humanity. Or at least that's what the school textbooks said. Either way, it seemed that both parties had the same interests in mind.

"Well that's good," Elias piped up after the admiral finished, "an ONI who actually does what they're supposed to do." His smile broadened slightly before speaking again. "Though I feel I should warn you that right now, the Nypherians are currently creating an alliance with the Haven shield world. An exchange of sorts, I was told to keep specific details out until the meeting is complete." The quiet smile remained. "Of course, once they finish, the Nypherians have every intention of eradicating the Demonic Crusade, if you stay out of the crossfire, you'll be fine" Elias settled more comfortably into his chair and awaited responses.

"So now they want to actually get off their asses and help us? Fantastic." Kitty's tone was thick with sarcasm as she leaned back in her seat, crossing her legs and putting an elbow on her armrest. Spinning two fingers around, flames lazily made circles in the air around her fingers. "They shouldn't count on much with Haven. I've been there, The Custodian doesn't play well with others." A sour expression crossed Kitty's face as memories of Haven threatened to run through her mind. "Nevermind that, we aren't going to wait on the Nympherians to do shit. As far as I'm concerned, they should stay out of our crossfire." 

Although it was indirectly said, Kitty's opinion on the matter was clear, she would be willing to join with this alliance. "The Vampires and Lycans will side with us against the demons, you have my word."

"Well I was unaware Mister Bishop was a bitch of the Nypherians now." The Mytherian Official said with a harsh tone, burrowing his eyebrows as Elias spoke. "FiGurEs." His speech began to cut out, as if his voice were part of a bad audio track. Shortly after his actual appearance flickered, until finally the familiar white lines of celestial architecture ran down him and revealed the metallic figure underneath. "We have more important matters to speak of than the ego of those robotic exiles."

"The Celestial Council has finally granted me the means to act in this war," Sam'anar turned his head to survey those in the room, making note of who was here. "If we play this right we can defeat the Crusade in one swift strike. The plan is simple," His hand stretched out to conjure holograms on the table with his magic, one of the planet Zaegrim's Spirit and the other of Hades. As he explained his plan the diagram would show it in visually. 

"Jaya and Yusuf must send their forces to Zaegrim's Spirit as expected, holding off against the Crusade's inevitable attempt at crushing the Inquisition there. Meanwhile, I will transport Kitty, Elias, and Sebastian to Hades, straight under the nose of Aboleth. There you will be able to face him unguarded by his horsemen and vulnerable. Once you have weakened him sufficiently, my new creation will finish him for good." His hand lowered as a structure appeared over the hologram of Hades, firing a solid beam down onto a figure of Aboleth, killing it.

"No Nypherians, no bullshit. We destroy Aboleth today." His words were absolute and echoed throughout the room. "Unless you disagree with stopping the Crusade, you have an hour to prepare yourselves."

It was Yusuf's turn to wear a frown on his face now, which was directed at the young man who had earlier interrupted the meeting and was now suggesting everyone in this room should stand by while some foreign alien race dealt with the GCU's problem. That wasn't going to happen. Thankfully enough, the Mytherian official who unveiled himself to be some sort of unknown entity spoke his mind.

As the entity uncloaked itself, Yusuf raised an eyebrow in intrigue while the Governor and ONI Admiral stared at it wide eyed.
"What is that.." Was all the governor could manage to utter.
"Something called a Celestial, sir." Sebastian answered. "Apparently the most powerful beings in the universe. This one helped us in the fight against the Starforger last year." Upon hearing this, the governor's expression relaxed but the ONI representative merely exchanged his awestruck expression with a scrutinizing glare.

Quietly, all of them listened to the Celestial's plans, Yusuf carefully considering what it was saying and analysing its holograms at the same time. He nodded when the Celestial addressed him and Jaya and respectfully listened quietly until it was done talking.
"Understood, I'll prepare a fleet. We'll defend the planet and its inhabitants." Yusuf said in an assuring tone. He turned his attention back to his tablet that was still placed on the table and began to type into it. Multiple holograms of different UNSC ship types appeared as he scrolled through the inventory of what was currently available to him.
He then turned to Sebastian, who met his gaze, giving him a nod. Sebastian understood and turned to leave, eager to make the most out of the hour-long preparation time. On his way out he briefly glanced at Kitty before looking forward again.

Elias wasn't so surprised that everyone disregarded his metion of the Nypherians. No one was totally sure of the immense power the empire wielded even at their fingertips. Though he wasn't so sure how the diplomats over on the Haven end were doing, it didn't matter anyway. However, Elias was surprised when the Mytherian Elf in the corner dropped an incredibly well crafted glamour and introduced himself by calling Elias a 'Nypherian bitch'. The wizard's soft smile faltered for a moment and he resisted spitting a retaliation back at the new somewhat robotic looking being. He presented a plan to eradicate the Demonic Crusade once and for all.

"Ooo I like the sound of that," Elias whispered just as the being completed his plan. Finishing it now would mean a lot less work in the future. Elias subtly listened in to the UNSC side of things. They called the new being a celestial. Elias recognized the word immediately. Dozens of tomes of ancient magic had referred to the beings as the true creators of the galaxy, not gravity or the big bang. Rumor had it in the supernatural community the celestials had something to do with the recent changes in the mana of the galaxy in the past year. Which was also proven with a UNSC comment mentioning their assistance with a battle in the past year. Either way, things seemed to be falling into position even better than Elias had expected.

"Count me in," Elias stated, he straightened up in his seat, "taking out a demon Lord sounds pretty fun after all." Elias stood up and circled the table to stand next to the celestial and outstretched a hand. "I don't believe we've met before. I'm Elias Bishop, hardly a master of anything, what's your name."

Kitty immediately sat up and paled at the appearance of Sam'anar, not a word escaped the startled vampire as she listened to him speak. She didn't voice any disagreements either, hell she didn't even look at him. She couldn't, the one time her eyes did flick up toward him a burst of pain filled her chest so acute that she bit her tongue and looked away. When Elias went up to Sam'anar and held out his hand, Kitty finally snapped out of her rigid state and stood up. "Gud er ikke, hvordan jeg ville have det til at gå ned. Jeg ønskede at tale med ham først, alene. Har ikke den idiot gå op til ham og prøve en hånd ryste." Kitty mostly muttered this to herself as she looked at the two.

"Åh min Gud, din idiot, du absolut idiot, lad det ikke være natten tæver dø. Jeg har ikke tid til en skide begravelse lige nu, jeg har nok lort til at beskæftige sig med." Kitty muttered under her breath in rapid fire Danish, then remembered Sam'anar could understand her still even if she wasn't speaking English and she let out another curse. She was starting to walk over to the two, but she felt like she was choking as she looked at Sam'anar directly. Four different emotions passed clearly through her eyes; first was anger, second was pain, third was guilt, and fourth was apology. She looked downward before a fifth one could cross her features. 

Clearing her throat she still didn't look up, and her voice was no where near firm and steady. "His name is...Sam'anar." She wanted to say his name was Dan, but she wasn't sure that she had that right anymore. What she had done was just cold, even if she did have her reasons.

Firstly Sam'anar gave a nod to Yusuf and Sebastian, a short acknowledgement of their willingness to the plan. Then as he turned back it seemed Elias was now infront of him, standing with his hand outstretched to shake. It was impossible to read the Celestial's expression since he had no face, but Sam'anar knew exactly what he felt when looking at Elias. Despite that though, he extended his own hand to participate in the shake.

"Sam'anar, Son of Nozdormu." He nodded alongside Kitty's introduction of him, not sparing her a glance as his gaze locked on that of Elias. "It will not be easy. Aboleth is as strong as the planet he resides upon. You will have to survive long enough for my creation to be ready." At this point he broke the handshake, lowering his own hand back to his side.

"Although I have heard you can hold your own." Sam'anar turned away at this point to address everyone still remaining in the room. "56 minutes. You will need all the preparation you can get. Meet back here once the clock strikes." His hand raised to conjure a grand clock in mid-air, it's singular hand ticking down until his desired time.
