<Three Androsynthetics walk into the room, one male two female, and take positions at the table>
Our people are now inhabiting the Chandrasekhar systems. We were rescued from the Orz native space by the Arilou whom, along with the Umgah, have formally agreed to provide protection for our people against the Orz -- who are still attempting to pursue us.
Honorable Shofixti delegate, your words ring quite boldly throughout these halls. Truly, it cannot be denied that the Ur-Quan were beaten in battle, due in large part to the noble sacrifice of your people.
However, I ask you to please consider that you take the opportunity to completely annihilate your enemy. A wise man said that an enemy defeated merely awaits another chance to attack, while an enemy befriended is truly vanquished. Would not the Shofixti name be recalled with great admiration from this day forth by the Ur-Quan for your mercy, insight, and leading them into true nobility by your example, such as the Yehat race is recognized by yourselves?
To the rest of the delegates, I present the desires of the Androsynthetic nation:
One: We demand full access to all resources we left behind in the Vulpeculae system. We, along with the Arilou, believe that if accessed, the information and industrial base we left behind would put the Orz in position to threaten the entire known universe. Furthermore, we wish that all Vulpeculae systems be returned to us and the Orz holdings in this *space* be limited to the Lalande systems.
Two: We demand that the Thrall status, as opposed to Alliance and Independant status, still be recognized. We have discussed this idea with other Thrall races, and those who do not intend to be part of the Alliance or an independant nation wish to remain part of this organization, henceforth called the "Axiom". The Axiom will remain a conglomoration of races, equal to but seperate from the Alliance, and will have no "ruling race". Also, all races which wish to join the Axiom and abandon their Alliance or Independant status are welcomed.
Three: We would like for the Alliance to more clearly state its purposes, so that the Axiom may choose goals that would not oppose or otherwise complicate the successful pursuits of the Alliance. We believe that it is best to have these bodies work together, such as a sword and a shield, to accomplish that which is in the best interest of both organizations, as well as the individual member races composing each.
Finally, regarding the Orz fleet heading toward Utwig space -- they must be stopped, if not by negotiations, then by force. The Orz are a terrible and powerful *creature*, and they have a purpose for their pursuits. We do have an idea of their agenda, however, we cannot be sure. Truly it is malevolent.
Using the Quasi-space technology taken from vanquished Nemesis ships while *below* and refined by our allies the Arilou, we are waiting for the go-ahead from the Utwig Proctorate to dispatch a batallion roughly twice the size of the Orz force. Our forces consist of Guardian Mk II's, which have been enhanced with Umgah technology. We predict less than 5% losses which, if incurred, will lead to the Androsynthetic nation declaring war upon the Orz with the full backing of all Axiom races.
<The Androsynth turns to the Orz diplomat>
This time, we're ready.
