He fumbled with his hands, keeping a close eye on the native girl. Oh, the ways he could torment her little mind... While Ceros didn’t adore the fact that the technology the Ministry of Science had been working so hard on was being offered as a bargaining chip, he at least found peace in the fact that the truly powerful machines were still kept secret. Those were the most fun, after all. “Details, details, details,” he said to the Alausoo representative. Did he really have to stall? Everybody knew he was going to accept. Ceros gestured to himself. “I’m Ceros, from the Ministry of Science. What details do you need? I happen to have an expertise in this matter.” Edited January 12, 2021 by The Unknown Order 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d also ask how many blueprints are they offering to exchange for independence, and also why Alausoo (with superior numbers and as the bigger entity) can’t just wage more war and obtain the blueprints themselves?

He met the gaze with his own, smiling slightly. “Mostly.” He nodded to to the blueprints. “You’ll find improved ballista designs in there, some alterations to standard-issue canons, and... some experimental schematics, too.” Experiential schematics that had defected, he didn’t add. He shrugged. “That’s the interesting stuff. There’s also a harvester blueprint thrown in, and some minor ship adjustments.

He meets Cero's eyes and gives him a cold smile in return. The smile faded and only hostility was left in Ceros as he stared at the representative. Black cloak, black vest, black boots. Was appearing ominous a requirement for Alausoo, or did they just enjoy the intimidation factor? As sour as the truth was, there was no denying it worked. Alausoo held something far more valuable than any of his blueprints. They held Aukarnit’s independence. That hostile gaze stared Avaraliin down, wondered how satisfying it would be to play around in that little head of his, to shuffle the thoughts and memories like a pack of cards, to rip that little smile off his face and leave only a shell — Ceros shook his head slightly, clearing his mind of the thoughts, and the smile was back on his face. Not now. Now was the time for negotiation; fantasy could come later. He raised a hand in the air slightly at Avaraliin’s words. “Ah, that may take time, representative,” he said, glancing to the side. “Building the blueprints, organising manpower, a secret demonstration.. tsk-tsk, it’ll take time indeed... time your country may not be able to afford.” He shrugged slightly, gently, at the representative, as if there was nothing he could do. A shame indeed the blueprints wouldn’t be able to verified. A right shame. “Besides,” he added, bringing his glance to Avaraliin again. “You wouldn’t be implying that we, the soon-to-be nation of Aukarnit, would lie, would you?

Ceros bowed his head when the general spoke, and without a word he followed the two of them to the wooden viewing platform. Disgraceful, watching two glorious creations like the Atlak 3s called into service simply for a showing to an Alausoo. Ceros glanced at Avaraliin again. “Reinforced steel hull,” he forces himself to say, gesturing to the ships. “State-of-the-art cannon defences and a unique fuel source that keeps them running for as long as you need them. No sails or needing to heed to the wind. Our ships can go even where the waves forbid them.” Even as they walk he keeps a close eye on the native girl. Would anyone notice if she... disappeared?
