Episode 7: New Year Reception (Part I)

Previously: Episode 6: Permission from the Empire

The Emperor decided that this year imperial new year reception will be held in Nehellium Embassy on Ferstab colony. The usual guests of the reception are the highest members of E.C.O, high ranking imperial army members, bureaucrats, ministers and leaders of vassal states of the empire. To establish friendly relations in Nehellium, some leaders of major factions who are willing to contribute the greater good are also invited to the reception too.

Lord Fredrich von Gutenburg and Lord Sigmund Weisswelt are talking while enjoying their drinks.

Lord Sigmund Weisswelt: Fredrich, I wish you go welcome our guest personally.

Lord Fredrich von Gutenburg: As you wish, my lord.

Lord Fredrich went out of the main ceremony hall. Meanwhile the guests are enjoying the reception with various delicious drinks and food from a large variety of worlds. Timus Stalos, the leader of Steel Stalions, Emperor Yomatomaro of the Yellow Sun and Claudia Luftstadt are chatting. The statues catch the attention of the Emperor Yomatomaro of the Yellow Sun

Emperor Yomatomaro: Whose statues are these? Are they ancestors of the Emperor?

Claudia Luftstadt: No, Emperor Yomatoro. The Emperor has no ancestor. These are statues of the greatest warriors of the brikverse. From left to right: A protestor, a soldier, on officer and a deadly space man. This embassy was designed and decorated as a small version of the imperial palace on our capital full with statues like these.

Emperor Yomatomaro: What do you mean by saying he has no ancestor. I heard that the Empire was founded thousands of years ago.

Claudia Luftstadt: Yes you are right, your highness but the Emperor has no ancestor. He is the founder of the Empire himself. He has no ancestor because he was born as a clone.

Emperor Yomatomaro: A clone? Are you serious?

Claudia Luftstadt: Yes. He was a clone himself before he became the ultimate leader and the emperor of Minifig-kind.

Emperor Yomatomaro: How?

Claudia Luftstadt: That is a really long story your highness. Lets talk about it some other time. You know. We have some important issues to talk about your planet right.

Emperor Yomatomaro: Yes. You're right princess. So Lord Stalos, are we aggreed on the deadline?

While they keep talking about important issues. Admiral Marius Kriger representing the Intergalactic Marine Confederation, Gerhard Eisenadler, the head of the high council of the imperial army and Lord Otto von Wankel von Vankelheim, the minister of war were talking about the latest collaborative military manoeuvre between the Empire and Confederation.

Gerhard Eisenadler: I want to congratulate you, Admiral. I heard your fleet was quite successful on the manoeuvre on Vahamar system.

Admiral Marius Kriger: Thank you, Admiral. Both our fleets were very successful. The collaboration of our forces showed our power to the enemies in the sector and beyond.

Gerhard Eisenadler: Are there still colonies of greens in the sector?

Admiral Marius Kriger: Not a big one we know of but unfortunately small outpost colonies are still present.

Gerhard Eisenadler: As long as they do not involve in an aggressive act they may continue living there.

Admiral Marius Kriger: Yes. I agree but you know that High-lord Toran won't be in peace as long as there are greens in the sector.

Gerhard Eisenadler: I can understand his feelings Admiral. Now that you mentioned it. Why is he not here personally.

Admiral Marius Kriger: He personally sent his apologies to the Emperor. He was really busy with the inspections of the border fleets. High-Lord wants me to ask you about the shipment of the latest purchase of planetary defense guns, Lord Otto.

Lord Otto von Wankel von Vankelheim: They will be ready to ship until the end of the month. Admiral.

Admiral Marius Kriger: Very good.

Grand Meister Holan representing the green sector (wearing dark green cape), Prince Albert of Lionya (wearing golden cape), Victor Ronsian, governor of State of Vrone (on the left, black bearded) and Lucinda Bright were chatting about the climate on Ferstab.

Prince Albert of Lionya: What a beautiful city you have chosen to build the colony, Ms Bright. The planet is covered with unending forrest and a moderate climate.

Lucinda Bright: Thank you, Prince. The surface temperature is nearly the same all around the planets rotation around its sun maintaining a suitable place for life to spread. This embassy is planned to be the meeting point for many occasions.

Prince Albert of Lionya: Back in our homeworld It's always hot throughout the year. We have more deserts than forests.

Grand Meister Holan: Don't complain about it Prince Albert. In my homeplanet we can only go to the surface for few months because of the extreme cold.

Victor Ronsian: Since we have the the technology to control the climate we have not such problems in our planets. Maybe you could consider to contact the firms that sells the tech.
