Re: The Khendros-Xengari treaty of the Cirnii

[Joe Joerson]

(Essentially meaning what do you not like or want about the situation is what he said. Meaning he said the exact same question as the what do you desire, but with different wording in effect. )

Hretai speaks this time.

"If that is indeed your offer we must reject it. However we have a counteroffer."

She pauses for a moment before speaking of the points.

"The Lordships will cede all disputed border systems to the Khendros, enter into a non-aggression pact with the Khendros, and directly cede all territory currently controlled by the Khendros, directly or indirectly, from the Serene Imperium of the Blessed Cirnii Realm to the Khendros. On the condition that all Cirnii who wish to be allowed to move to the Sonne system, the so called 'Free Cirnii State' is disbanded and integrated directly into the Khendros and finally that all Cirnii previously of the Conclave of the Serene Imperium of the Blessed Cirnii Realm be given to the Serene Imperium for punishment of Warcrimes, and high treason against the Emperor."

[Caspoi]

Aenax turned speachless for a few second, then he started to rage.

"Absolutely not! Do you think that I or anyone else would just hand ourselves over on a plate to you to be executed, or disband our own safe haven, just for some empty space, neither the Free Cirnii State, nor the Khendros will agree to such a proposal!"

He faltered at the last bit and looked once again questionably towards Xetromd who makes a reassuring gesture and turns towards the Xengari to speak openly for the first time.

"I am afraid that the Councelor is right, we can not accept such a proposal, we have neither the wish nor the authority to do so. You must forgive him for his harsh words but it is too much for him to accept, you must understand that."

[Joe Joerson]

The Xengari now look significantly less amused. Anrend speaks.

"We understand that a race-traitor might be too much of a coward to face his own crimes. We will allow any Cirnii who wishes to relocate under the reign and rule of their Emperor may do so upon a Xengari ship. We will respect the status quo of current borders. That is all. You may leave in peace. Unless of course the Race-traitor or one of his guards might wish to return to Carrak? We would be happy to accommodate him or his guards."

[Caspoi]

"I am certain that they will all keep the option in mind." He smiled, a smile more threatening than his mild tone or small body would imply as he showed his razor sharp teeth. "If the Xengari will accept no other proposal then we will take our leave. It has been a most productive meeting to you all. We will inform our leaderships about the recognition of the current borders and give them your well wishes. Good by." He turned to leave, grabbing Aenax by the arm and making him turn around, causing the latter, still fuming with anger, to come to his senses and follow, at this point not even trying to act like the leader of the party. Rahomd followed as well, observing everything intently and not making a sound. The guards kept their ground for a little while to see if the Xengary were going to stop them before they too marched towards the ship.

[Joe Joerson]

The Xengari do not stop them. Two Bipedal Guards follow them to their ship but stop at where the delegation was initially received by the earlier robotic party. Soon after leaving the room the three Xengari ships begin charging to leave the system. The charge is slow enough that it is clear the Khendros delegation would be able to make it back to their ship easily in time but also make it clear that the Xengari do not intend to wait around.

[Caspoi]

The ship rejoins it's brethren and they exit the system.

[Directed towards Mthis]

The Septhi will be informed of what happened, about how the Xengari refused any offer that did not involve the disolvment of the Free Cirnii State and how the belitled the Cirnii representative. They will also be informed about the fact that the Cirnii have joined the military cooperation effort and that ships will have to be stationed at their borders at all time in case of renewed Xengari agression.
