The High Priest says nothing, and his face has relaxed to betray no emotional response. Instead, he takes a sip of tea.

"One thing your arrival has done," he says, changing the subject, "is brought all of us together peacefully."

Tex glances at the High Priest. "Not like there were any wars going on or anything. That we know of anyway." He shrugs. "Not too keen on the whole forced sterilization thing though. Or the licensing people to do what comes naturally. Sure there's always a few rotten apples, but hell, seems like those rotten apples always spoil it for those who aren't. Besides, havin' kids is just normal. To force people to go through examinations, well, that's just wrong." He falls silent for a moment, then adds on. "At least to me, it is. But then again, I do live in a place where havin' kids is the only thing savin' us from extinction."

Kat just closes her eyes. She takes a few deep breaths, then opens her eyes again.

D'Arc rubs at his chin, though his hand is obscuring his mouth in the process. So D'Arc is well aware of Tex's ability to speak his mind when it's not the most appropriate time. Not to mention, he's amused by the whole thing.

The Chancellor says, "The occasional fight by superpowered kooks in costumes, yes. Wars, not so much."

The man in black stays silent on the whole overpopulation bit.

The Captain simply nods, he doesn't really know how to respond to some of the criticism of his planet. After all, before today, all he's known is Veridia Prime and the Dominion. Like many of his kind, they knew stories of and history of the past nations of his own world and what the ancestors left them of the Earth they came from. Indoctrinated to view their past as anarchy, the Dominion for every citizens symbolizes the greatest civilization. Perhaps like Rome, Veridia Prime was the bastion of civilization and the nations of Earth the barbarians at the gate.

"I do appreciate the hospitality that has been shown here to me," he said finally. "However, I believe I have the information I was sent to receive by my government. If there is nothing more, I feel my crew and I should make the voyage home."

The Chancellor says, "If it is acceptable to the others, then I say 'meeting adjourned.'"

He will offer to escort them back to their ship if the meeting is adjourned. He'll also point out the general direction of the Rheans and the Rutians, if they care to meet them.

(OOC: Very well.)

(OOC: Unless either the Rutians or Rheans enlightened them, the Chancellor should have no way of pointing them in our direction.)

"Before you go," the High Priest Xenon says, "I believe that High Priest Helium has created a few things for you to take with you. You'll find them informative about Earth I believe. Things like various languages and technologies. He'll meet you before you go up to your ship."

"And New Vegas is always available for a bit of friendly gambling." Tex points out.

Kat remains silent, though she does smile slightly toward the Veridians.

D'Arc inclines his head toward the Veridians. "May your journey be safe."

None of them offer anything though. Not like they have anything to offer.

(OOC: The Rutians haven't really had much contact with Bismouth, which should change at some point. Most other nations have some kind of contact with them after all. The Legion is probably the exception.)

Elizabeth nods to the Captain, and says, "May fate bless your journey. We hope to maintain good relations with your people and further contact."

(OOC: I should change that at some point with a random Apokaliptian craft landing in the UMNA or something. Maybe have them stray into the south. The Legion will be in for a surprise trying to fight some nut who hits harder than a deathclaw with skin tougher than power armor.)

Tiberius, the Captain, was led out and back towards his ship. He shook the hands of his host as well as the other guests and thanked them all for the information they were willing to provide as well as for the hospitality they showed the Captain while he was on Earth. With that he approached his ship, his gifts from the Earthlings in hand, he walked up the ramp of his ship and enter the vessel through the airlock. Closing behind him, the Captain placed the gifts in containers and sealed them. They would naturally have to be decontaminated on Veridia Prime before direct contact was appropriate. They did not possess the technology on the ship for such a delicate process, especially for decontaminating the book for instance. After the items were safely within containers, the airlock began a decontamination process on the Captain's suit. Indeed, the computer located several foreign bacteria and other harmful organisms on the Captain's suit. They scanned them, cataloged detail readouts of them, and then destroyed them and cleaned the suit. The entire process took only a few minutes, then the airlock opened and the Captain gave the containers to two crewmen awaiting outside the airlock before taking off the suit and heading towards the bridge.

Outside those who watched, say the spacecraft fire its engines and begin climbing horizontally upwards until the ship was about 40 or so feet in the air, then it began crawling forwards as its liftoff thrusters began to shut off and the main engines came to life. In a matter of a minute or two the Felicita was again soaring through the sky, climbing steadily upwards through the atmosphere. Before long the clouds of Earth all had parted and the ship was once again in the dark, cold, and lonely plain of space. Tiberius, who was now seated back in his Captain's chair ordered his helmsman to plot the course back to Veridia Prime. The ships soared through the solar system of Earth while the calculations were made. They were near Saturn when all the preparations were complete and in one great flash of light, the ship was gone just as quickly as it had arrived.

(OOC: Aww, you chose to not got to Rhea. It's OK. You would have gotten shot at. Not by us, but random Sith remnant ships still hanging around.)

Just before he left with the Chancellor, he turns to the two from North America. "Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Sallow, farewell for now. When shall be a good time to visit Vegas?"

Kat double takes before raising a brow. She looks away as if she wasn't addressed at all. She just turns and walks off.

Tex, however, looks at Kat, then to the man in black. "Whenever. I'm headed back there now." He looks rather apologetic before having to catch up to Kat.

Xenon gives some command to the guard, who is now at ease, but still present. He will likely be so until D'Arc takes his leave. Xenon also remains present, unless the representative from their Eastern neighbor wants to discuss anything.

D'Arc follows after Kat and Tex. He came with them, he'll leave with them.

OOC: I know, we'll be stepping out again and I'll make it a point to get to your neighborhood of the galaxy Smile

IC:
Veridia Prime, the Nag System....

The First Step - Page 6 Planetofveridiaprime

The Felicita's return was made with as much fanfare as was their departure. Once they'd dropped out of hyperspace the ship radioed the flight control station on the planet's surface. Within minutes they were entering the atmosphere and bring the ship to a landing at a major military outpost just outside the capital of Paradisus Novum. The landing was caught by the Dominion's media agency and broadcast to devices throughout the planet. Millions upon millions stopped what they were doing to watch the historic landing of the ship and the emergence of its crew, all of whom returned safely from the great unknown. Approaching the reporters Captain Varro spoke only briefing, expressing his relief to be back home and his eagerness to see his family. After the Captain's brief statement, officials took the crew behind closed doors and Veridians went back to their lives.

A few hours later, inside the Triumvirate Chamber within the Grand Dominion Hall...

The First Step - Page 6 Volkshalle

The Dominion was quick to debrief the crew once they had arrived back on Veridia Prime. The Captain was naturally of the most importance since he was interacted with the other aliens that the ship had encountered on its brief mission. Scientists were also already going through the vast volume of information in both the holodisk as well as the books given to Captain Varro. Already reports of their initial findings were being made and filed with the central government. A meeting of the Triumvirate was called to discuss the mission.

"This is a meeting of the Triumvirate, Triumvir Marcus Flaven speaking. Under the powers of the Necessary Classification Act, this meeting is classified and shall be recorded for the archives of the Dominion only, priority one. Level 10 clearance shall be necessary to access the proceedings of this meeting." Marcus sat back in his chair, the computer now recording everything that was said in the small conference hall of the Triumvirate. Seated to his left was Triumvir Alexandria Gentianus of the Supreme Magistratus and to his right, Triumvir Flavian Sabinus of the Dominion Military. The table they sat at was a semi-circle design, its surface black and smooth almost like glass. Several vidial screens were lite on its surface and manual controls were just before each Triumvir where they sat. There were also several small, pad devices that looked like plates of clear glass sat over the surface of the table. Each had different visuals on them, some of it no more than the written Veridian Language...reports sent to the Triumvirate for their reading.

"The mission to Earth" said Marcus, "was as we hoped a success. Captain Varro, his crew, and the ship itself operated as we had hoped, as we had calculated. It seems we can now finally confirm some of the theories of our past, theories that have kept our people from truly understand where they come from. It appears that our ancestors not only traveled back in time, as many of their contemporaries and later scholars have suggested, but it also seems they were from another reality entirely. Therefore, we must conclude that we can never return to the Earth of our origins"

"Agreed" said Alexandria, "nor do I believe we should dwell on this matter any further. There is nothing more our ancestors can teach us, nor the place of their origin could teach us. We know what they knew of the Stargate and perhaps in time we will know more however, that is for us to do and not simply take from them."

"Indeed" said Marcus in agreement. "With that closed, I think we should put our primary focus on the true nature of the mission's purpose."

"Yes I couldn't agree with that more" said Flavian. "We've learned much about the some of the races and civilizations through the mission, more we will learn once we've completely analyzed the artifacts brought back. However, what we've learned so far from the Captain's report and what little information we've so far gathered from the artifacts does go to confirm what we feared. The Galaxy is in chaos."

"This seems true" said Marcus with a sigh. "Earth in particular is ruled by multiple nations, presumably with multiple agendas, multiple philosophies. It is as much an embodiment of chaos as we Veridians were before the Dominion. The Centauri seem little better, though united into a global order they still seem divide among their archaic beliefs. Furthermore, the information they've given us on Rhea, Rutianas, and the Burnination show little promise either. In short the galaxy is a chaotic realm, chaos being the quintessential antithetical of everything the Dominion stands for. We are peace, we are prosperity, we are order. Custodians to everything Julian Augustine build, we must not only preserve the order he built here on Veridia Prime but protect it from the barbaric anarchy that is beyond."

"Agreed" said Alexandria with Flavian echoing the sentiment.

"We must protect the public from the anarchy of the galaxy less everything the Dominion is will be destroyed" Marcus said, with great conviction in his voice. "To do this I feel we all agree that the Dominion will have to expand, we must bring order to the Chaos and in so doing, defeat anarchy and the anarchists that procreate to ensure its survival. Doing this will ensure the survival of the Dominion and all the order that Augustine brought and we preserve here on Veridia Prime."

"The Supreme Magistratus and the Magistratus Collegium will ensure that the law is preserved and prevails" said Alexandria with a nod.

"We will need to further expedite our military advancements" said Flavian. Pressing a few controls in front of him, a visual of a starship came up, one in front of each of them.

The First Step - Page 6 113138887864

"The first of our cruisers is almost complete, we will begin testing soon" said Flavian as he continued. "Our manufacturers assure me that she will be everything we were told she'd be. They have already proposed other designs as well but we will need more funding, far more Velons than have been allocated."

"Don't worry" said Marcus with a slight smile. "I have already begun discussing a new budget proposal with some councilors of the Quorum. I believe when I make my proposal we will have the votes we need to secure the funding. This new information will naturally be crucial to change the minds of those that may be skeptical of the Dominion building a space fleet."

"What do we do with those aliens that have been made aware of us?" asked Alexandria.

"The Centauri are the only aliens capable of intergalactic flight that the Captain came in contact with, aside from the coalition of aliens safeguarding Earth. For now I will propose we look into perhaps secure trade relations with their government, procure what technology we can from them. We must attempt at all cost to secure enough technology to advance ourselves and secure the order."

The others agreed, both believing that trading with an potential enemy was far better for the time being than playing their cards straight forward. Knowing that at the moment, the Dominion did not possess even the first interstellar cargo ship, they agreed it would be best to attempt to retrieve a stargate from another planet. They could transport in onboard a ship and take it to Alpha Centauri, offer it as a means of instant transport between their homeworld and Veridia Prime.

(OOC: Unless the Rheans or Rutians were indiscreet, the Earth nations shouldn't know anything about Burnination.

Burnination is reclusive. You shouldn't know anything about it unless you happened upon it.

It's OK though, since there's nothing to respond to.)

OOC: Yeah most of that conversation was more on assumptions of little facts than anything else. After all, I'm assuming the information gather was decently a lot, so naturally they didn't have time to actually digest it all properly. Its sort of how I'll portray VP, very quick to judge, somewhat xenophobic, aggressive, and most importantly a superiority complex on their shoulders. They'll make friends, but for the most part they always feel its an "Us vs. them" galaxy Laughing
