To the Great House of Blood,

We know of your armed mission towards the Tau Cluster. We cordially request that you desist in your attempts to bring military power into the dominion of our great House. If you do not, we will be forced to take defense into our own hands. If you wish to visit the Tau cluster, trade with us, and/or ally with our house, we would be overjoyed to send a respected envoy to meet with you outside our inhabited systems, after consulting our allies. If you continue your fleet's trajectory without response, we will be forced to respond in kind. We truly hope that we may come to an agreement to the benefit of both our houses.

With great respect,
House Thlf'phhmrth

Perhaps you have misunderstood. The delegation that is heading towards your system is entirely peaceful. The armed escorts are merely for our own safety.

[Congradulations, you now have no air supply on your planet! since you didn't start developing fast air mass concentration cells you cannot fly spaceships, (we'll assume the mothership is fine) and most of the populace is mad at house blood and skyvivid for that. So yeah. Don't act too hasty next time.]

Skyvivid has denied any spying [and so has @Aeoliae] on [@The Known Novel] Great house of blood. They have removed all routes through or to The great houses' territory.

1. House Skyvivid, did in fact steal or spy on another houss's stuff, but found nothing of use. House skyvivid DID NOT spy on House Blood, Min'otaar, Vitres, or Durnal, etc at all. 

2. House Skyvivid and house S'thyner (thaidikar's house) are secretly allied. Not anymore

3. Houss Skyvivid is intrested in the grey matter. Development seems to be headed towards multiple ships, and adding air to artifical land.

4. The council nor the lord Skyvivid existed, or had existed. Skyvivid is making Pneumic weapons.

@ΨιτιsτηεΒέsτ

The ship sped onward towards the planet. It didn’t slow. It entered the atmosphere. It kept at full speed. It’s course altered, and it flew toward the most important governmental building on Fiioss. The ship kept going at full speed, and the man flying it jumped out, a small pack on his back activating and shooting him away from the ship. The ship slammed into the building at full speed, and the explosives packed inside detonated.

War. The most interesting thing in the galaxy. Not fighting, mind you. He never did enjoy getting in the thick of it, even if he was willing to when the necessity rose. But the strategy. The gears that turned on whenever his mind wandered towards the subject.
And so it was with this fascination that Tux had risen to be a great general; first for House Zefour and then for all the people on his home planet of Jropoux. It had been years since he had stepped foot on that barren rock. He much preferred the soft ting of metal under his feet whenever he walked.
Tux’s fire burned a deep blue. An unusual color for a Raysox, and one that required constant thought. But Tux was a general, and it was important that all could recognize him. His body glowed in his comfortable chair while nine seated holograms spread around him in a semicircle. 
The Elden Council. The political power that ran everything on Joproux. All run by that unclean Elder from House Trxn. Tux didn’t mind that much about who was in charge of what – as long as he was a general he would be happy. But when those leading him weren’t pure from either race… Well, that was when it became a problem.
Farbel Gren, the abomination, spoke. 
“Now. I believe there are a few matters pertaining to our allies that we need to discuss…”

---

For the eyes of @NerdyAarakocra. 

Spoiler

Proyyl watched as the ship landed on the ground. The ramp slid out of the ship, and the jellyfish floated down in its waterpod. His hair flushed green in pride. All had gone to plan. The beginning of another fruitful alliance was in the making.
He spread his arms wide and spoke loudly, “Welcome to Efur, a living paradise!”

 

---

Fllok slouched in his chair, not at all happy to be in the worst location in the galaxy. In the middle of an Elder Council meeting. Many members of his own house would have gladly taken the opportunity to hear only a part of the words spoken during the council. Fllok found it all rather boring.
Farbel Gren, the Eldest, began to speak. He had always been kind to Fllok and his love of art. That was more than he could say about his mother, who was currently sitting in one of the hologram chairs that let the other Elders see her no matter where they were across the galaxy. 
“We have received word that House Thlf’phhrmth is in need of military aid. The Great House of Blood is currently en route towards their planet, and refuses to tell of their motivations. House Thlf’phhrmth has requested that we send aid in case a battle breaks out. The floor is open for discussion.”
Tux immediately spoke up, to nobody’s surprise. 
“I believe that we should send The Phyllox to aid them in their struggle.” 
Of course. The ship that Tux had lived on for years. Fllok didn’t think that Tux cared about the other Houses. He just wanted to be around war. It put him on some weird kind of high that Fllok just didn’t understand. Or…maybe it was a little like the sort of trance that painting gave to Fllok.
After a few moments of silence, Farbel spoke up. 
“If there are no objections, I would like to propose that we send The Phyllox to aid House Thlf’phhrmth. I will began with my vote as positive. Please place your votes.”
The votes turned out to be 6 to 4, which came as no surprise. It was on very few matters that both House Zefour and House Tayllar voted together, which gave Farbel the deciding vote almost every single time. 

Spoiler

Level 1:

Spoiler

Fllok was a bit surprised when his mother spoke up, as she usually stayed quiet. She preferred to lead by example rather than by speech. 
“I believe that there may be another way we can help, while giving ourselves an advantage as well. We should reach out to the House of Blood in an attempt to form an alliance. Then we can learn their true intentions.”
“Very well,” replied Farbel. “I propose that we attempt to form this alliance. If approved, I will reach out to the Great House of Blood personally. I will again vote as positive.”
The votes again resulted as 6 to 4. A surprise for nobody.

Spoiler

Level 2:

Spoiler

The Phyllox is en route to aid House Thlf'phhrmth.

Nrump read the transmission that had gone out from house Min’oTaar. He wasn’t sure what to think. He wondered if the huge fleet of ships reported to leave their home planet had anything to do with this meeting. Nrump made a split second decision and sent a transmission to King Adonis. 
If you have room, I would love to join your meeting. Please send me details as soon as possible.

Nrump does not necessarily want to join the meeting to join an army to take over the galaxy, as much as he is to gain more allies.

Farbel Gren signed out of the Elden Council and slumped slightly in his chair. His wife, who was sitting next to him, gave him a reassuring grin. Those council meetings always did drain him. He remembered why it was that he struggled through all the politics, and the doubt left his mind immediately. Today hadn’t been that bad, all things considered. There had only been a fraction of the bickering that normally took place in these settings. If only Farbel could actually get the two rival houses to agree on something for once. They only seemed to unite when it was against him, which wasn’t ever of any use.
Farbel’s beautiful wife, Dreem, suddenly spoke. Something was wrong, causing him to look up immediately.
“You must see this,” she told him, turning her small holoscreen towards him. It was a broadcast of the GNN, a news network based out of Nexus. 
Bombing on Fiisoss. Details Unkown. The title was accompanied with a video of a ship speeding towards a government building on Fiisoss and exploding on impact, clearly causing more of an explosion than a mere ship would warrant. This was no mistake.
“Shades.” Farbel rarely cursed, but he couldn’t keep it in this time. This was going to cause problems.

Rully slept peacefully that night, back to stone with a billion stars spread before her.

Polli didn’t like that she was technically doing something that she didn’t want to do. But that didn’t really matter. What mattered was her family and her childrens’ future. And so it was in this situation that Polli found herself walking up to Proyyl, the head architect of house Trxn. 
He looked up and frowned slightly when he saw her approaching him. They didn’t technically get along very well. Even though they were technically of the same race, they could never be the same.
“What do you want?” Proyyl asked bluntly.
“It’s not about what I want. It’s about what the Elden Council wants. And they want you to put some extra crystals with the boxes that you trade with house Thlf’phhrmth as a sign of good will. The boxes containing the crystals and a few other goods should arrive in your shipyard shortly.”
Proyyl looked slightly confused, but knew better than to contradict an Elder. 
“Alright, I’ll make sure it gets done.” Proyyl then walked away before Polli could say anything more to him, which she was grateful for.

Clorg was about halfway to his destination when he received a truly troubling transmission from the Eldest.
There are problems that have arrived with a bombing on Fiisoss, and we fear that fighting may occur. Nrump is already located on Nexus, but you are our second closest representative to the planet. We need you to travel to Nexus immediately to be part of an assembly we will be organizing for all the Houses to discuss what happened. If you have any questions, please ask us. Expect tensions to be high.
Shades, Clorg thought. This had to happen now, of all times? When he happened to not be where the entire Elden Council believed him to be? Clorg wanted to ignore the transmission, but knew that was not an option. 
He was lucky that he happened to be closer to the Nexus rather than farther. 
Clorg sent a transmission back to Dreem to tell her he had seen it, and then sent one to his friend that their meeting had to be rescheduled. 
Clorg did not look forward to addressing all the Houses at once.

A video transmission is sent to all Houses on an open line sent by Dreem, the wife of Farbel Gren.
“Hello Great Houses of the Galaxy. We have heard about the bombing that took place on the planet of Fiisoss, and we believe that this is a matter that needs to be discussed. We will be holding an open meeting in 2 days time on the planet of Nexus, located in Assembly Hall #13. We hope that each house sends representatives so that we can do our best to resolve this issue and bring peace to the galaxy in the future.”

The pilot of this ship, like the last one, is an assassin sent to bomb important government buildings. Unfortunately for House Yaelar the assassin is a traitor, who doesn't like the way Feyd Yaelar runs things. He carries state secrets stolen from House Yaelar. He is not planning on detonating the bombs or destroying anything.

A spark of inspiration suddenly ignited in the mind of the Gjx. Other creatures communicated with boxes in their throats. If the Gjx replicated one of these creatures, it would be able to communicate with them!

Satisfied by the thought, it created a copy of one of the oldest creature in its memory.

"Hello," said the copy. It looked just like Fervor's brother, but entirely in grayscale.

Just FYI, I might be a bit late to the meeting. 

Icaai made his way through the crowd, and people began to understand what was going on. They opened the way for him to get through, but then closed the way for the soldiers to get through. He quickly swam to a secret location, and old abandoned cave with a large metal door. He threw open the door, swam in, slammed it closed, and locked it. He swam to a small device, a transmitter that he and Rhyaa had built. He turned it on, and the camera they had attached blinked. It worked.

A video transmission is sent to all Houses on an open line sent by Dreem, the wife of Farbel Gren.
“Hello Great Houses of the Galaxy. We have heard about the bombing that took place on the planet of Fiisoss, and we believe that this is a matter that needs to be discussed. We will be holding an open meeting in 2 days time on the planet of Nexus, located in Assembly Hall #13. We hope that each house sends representatives so that we can do our best to resolve this issue and bring peace to the galaxy in the future.”

The leaders of the 5 species are regrettably busy with their own tasks right now, out on their own investigations. With the absence of a species leader, it is chosen that the volcano species’ leader’s 1st in command, someone named ೃ⁀➷ (pronounced Leber) would be going to this meeting instead and reporting back. 8(>4* (pronounced Leber) packed his bags and met at the space port, ready for his long journey. With him, he had 2 of his closest friends (pronounced Ogajnin) and (pronounced Gubydal), along with all of their luggage, which was surprisingly heavy

Spoiler

When their bags were checked before boarding, the scanners picked up some materials that were heavy and odd shaped, that were shaped as if they were rocks

Spoiler

In another suitcase were some long tubes in an L-shape, made up of hundreds of rows of alternating materials. And in another bag, there was something that looked like a high powered bag

A communication has been sent out from the planet of Vashlee'doo:

The world of Vashlee'doo has broke out into civil war. Message sent out from: The king of the monarchy, Verkon Va'anden...

All communications to and from the world of Vashlee'doo has abruptly stopped.

Spoiler

Level 1: 3 Megaships (all of the planet Vashlee'doo's megaships) have been spotted leaving Vashlee'doo

Spoiler

Level 2: The megaships that left Vashlee'doo are said to be a coup that took all the ships from the king, Verkon during the Civil War, leaving the rest of the people stranded on Vashlee'doo with no communication and only a few small warships to defend themselves.

Spoiler

Level 3: The megaships that left Vashlee'doo has been seen heading toward the moon of Joproux, Efur.

Spoiler

Level 4: The Megaships of Vashlee'doo have formed an alliance with the houses of Joproux.

Nrump and Clorg walk into an empty Assembly Hall #13 together, followed by a handful of assistints, prepping for the large meeting that will begin shortly.

"Hello."

Fervor looked up, confused. The creature could talk? And then she saw her brother. But he was so...wrong. Jafek was the wrong color. Or, well. He had no color at all. He was completely grey. Lifeless.

Fervor scrambled back into a tree and tried to speak, but her mouth refused to do anything but stutter.

"Y..y...you're...you..." She gave up trying to come up with a sentence and instead went with a single word.

"Jafek?"

[Wisdumb]

There is still no communication from the world of Vashlee'doo, so it is assumed that they will not be able to attend the meeting.
