The Unknown Medallion

Welcome back!

The Tentaculum ships move into position around their target. Slowly, one by one, squadron by squadron, they go into stealth mode. By no means undetectable, but hard to notice in a casual search. Simultaneously, the expedition arrives at the base of one of House Durral's mountains. @Matrim's Dice

*Earlier in time cause I got hung up* The Grand-Emperor disconnects his holo and leaves. He climbs into his ship and fires up to leave. After exiting the atmosphere, the ship turns around, and the Grand-Emperor analyzes the planet. —One blast. Just one blast and hierarchies of every House would be devastated.— His heir, the strongest claimant to his name, stepped forward. —Are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting Sire?— —No, Warsinger. Now is not the time. But perhaps eventually.— The Tentaculum ship turned to leave, and detected a fleet approaching. He opened communication to send them a message. —Radio Transmission— —From the Great House of Blood to House Min'oTaar— (Unintelligenius can read free) The Tentaculum leave without further comment.

The Grand-Emperor pauses. —it is an affront to our very culture.— He walks away. He tunes into the meeting.

—We will watch via holo then. But note that we are outraged.—

—We will attend the meeting in person. Would simply sacrificing the more... dangerous weapons suffice?—

The Tentaculum arrive at the meeting early as is normal for their people. Flanked by one of their destroyers, they dock. The Grand-Emperor steps out of his ship in an odd suit that is half filled with "water." It rolls forward for a moment while he analyzes the air. Finally, he steps out, though still wearing a smaller suit to stay "hydrated." He approaches the door to the meeting chamber, where is stopped by a message being broadcast in the Tentaculum language. No weapons? —This is an outrage!— he screams over the radio. —to ask me to part with my weapons!—

Yeah I'm not reading the rules poem. But I'll join!

The Grand-Emperor will attend representing the Great House of Blood. The Great House of Blood remains silent.

The Great House of Blood considers. It responds soon enough. Free for Nerdy.

The Great House of Blood, its capital building now bustling with activity, responds. Free for Nerdy to read.

The Great House of Blood seems unfazed and transmits a message to all of its citizens to beware House Skyvivid propaganda. It begins massing a new fleet of ships that will make the stars tremble. —Transmission— —Radio Signal from the Great House of Blood— —Open Communication targeting House Skyvivid— Static crackles The Great House of Blood will continue to deny service to House Skyvivid, until a public apology is made. No such apology has been made, and it appears that House Skyvivid feels no remorse. An apology is also expected for the propaganda announcement made earlier this week. Repeat The Great House of Blood will continue to deny service to House Skyvivid, until a public apology is made. No such apology has been made, and it appears that House Skyvivid feels no remorse. An apology is also expected for the propaganda announcement made earlier this week. Static crackles If no apology is made, more drastic measures of showing the displeasure of the Great House of Blood may be used. Do not make us use them. Repeat If no apology is made, more drastic measures of showing the displeasure of the Great House of Blood may be used. Do not make us use them. Static crackles You have been warned. Over.

The Great House of Blood hereby sanctions House Skyvivid, and places an embargo on sales of all air and other goods to and from House Skyvivid, for rampant and illegal spying and invasion of private documents.

The Tentaculum make no response, save a short firing of their propulsion to slightly change course. Shortly after, the Tentaculum armada splits two smaller elements, sending them in two directions.

The Great House of Blood sends an armada towards the Astor System?. Their purposes are unclear, but the Tentaculum are known for little other than war. @Matrim's Dice

But then you won't have to be concerned about e!TJ!

I definitely cannot run the LG until after football, or maybe just further into it once the schedule is more consistent.

I think it's fine. Bigger is better in my opinion, though I don't think that's shared. Are you going to use one of those galaxy map maker things, or just the that?

@Kasimir Is it too late to say I told you so? @Matrim's Dice, how much did you relay to Kas? I kept meaning to make him confirm you were, but was forgetting and running out of time. I'd love to see some of the other admissions essays, and definitely would like others to see mine. Edit: I am also glad to see that the code was frustrating for you. Btw, "Option B" was Bodyguard, and "Option A" was Assassin. So like the most obvious code ever.

The Great House of Blood 1. Military (Cut above the rest, think of the US, regarded as one of the biggest and best. Their military is twice as good in a conceptual sense) 2. Intelligence (Very good in regards to military intelligence and also enhanced by their ability to easily intercept radio waves, average when not related to war) 3. Resources (pretty much average, maybe slightly below) 4. Transportation (Below average, but not particularly notable) 5. Cohesion (Very poor, except in times of war, when it's below average) The WAR OCTOPUSES are bloody ready to go!

So, good news, I'm not in Imre any more. Bad news, I'm on the streets. So @Kasimir, yes, but preferably not yet.

So who thinks they're the best at war? Cause that's who the Tentaculum would ally with.
