Chapter 2: The Long Run
Earthlings, the races of the Milky Way galaxy would shrug when the name was spoken or just leave them alone. Seeing them as the one of the lesser stronger species, they we're not deemed worthy of attention to most races but some beg to differ, specifically the space nomads or lone explorers. Aliens that would pass by the sol system would visit earth that envied for their beautiful planets gardens and pale blue night.
But that has changed since what the Earthlings would call their official First Contact, for them to encounter a race that had developed into an advance interstellar civilization in such a very small time and had claimed their neighboring systems was a bit concerning which was size of a tiny slice of the galaxy.
After the news was sent back to the Devilukean Senate, uproars happened amongst the present races who participated in the Galactic Unification War, minority was silenced into fear. Gastrom may not have specific details about the Earthlings government and territories but it was enough for them to believe.
Now the aliens we're filled with regret, letting whom they viewed a lesser race alone, unguided and letting them do their bidding. Earthlings now called as the Terrans we're introduced all-over the galaxy, like the Alliance the galaxy stood skeptical for they heard little about the Terrans.
The Devilukean Queen who was present at that time wasn't concerned and in extent, her husband as well who was nowhere to be found. The Devilukean Empire may have no business with Interplanetary-wars or internal conflicts, anything was allowed but the threatening of the Milky Way galaxy.
Until then, everything will be put to hold as the Terrans will make their official debut to interstellar age. Not even a day after first contact, the Devilukean Empire sent a message to Alliance space in request for a diplomatic mission and gave them the coordinates of Deviluke.
At the Alliance's side, they we're shocked to see that they gave them the coordinates of their homeworld that is located literally in the center of Milky Way, this would seriously give a MASSIVE advantage to them should war erupt. But then again, this is the Devilukean Empire we're talking about, 97% of the galaxy are under their control, security and laws what would the Alliance would call the galactic law. They view the Devilukean Empire like the former UN though in the galactic stage and opposite ideology. Aristocracy exists along the uses of rulers to which are kings and queens who have absolute authority to anyone in the empire and its vassals.
Planet Deviluke - Imperial Senate (Three days after First Contact)
Anita Goyle was excited. Being one of the most prominent and intelligent politician the Alliance could send, she was given to honor to represent Humanity to the masses of the galaxy. She poured hours of study about the races and anything about them available in the Codex, with the aliens not knowing thT they have not all but still many intels and information about them thanks to their weak cyber-technology, Anita had all the pieces in her hands.
Before arriving in Deviluke, Anita was overseeing the developments on Alliance colony of Shanxi, there she boarded an Alliance Cruiser along with only two Frigates as escorts for her travel. At that travel, she wondered what the other aliens looked like. Devilukean we're so similar to human, if not better and stronger than to humans. Half way the travel, her small flotilla was then escorted by a fleet of Devilukean battleships which we're battlecruiser-sizes, ranging from 700 to 900 meters. The funny part actually is the galaxy (Not counting the Alliance and fighters) only use one military class in Fleet battles and that would be these battleships, they still use small sizes like fighter and corvettes yet they regarded frigates and cruisers and other such smaller vessels as weak and fragile. The Alliance military who escorted Anita, behind walls of course, laughed as if there is no tomorrow, Humanity all had their experience in naval warfare, they had the pride and their damn proud to tell that they beg to differ.
After making planetside, she along with two diplomatic aides, a Blacklight/Cerberus Agent and two N7 operatives, the total group of six we're then escorted to the Senate by Devilukean soldiers who wore skull and intimidating medieval and demonic armor. Yet again, this is a devil-looking race we're talking about so it's expected. With that she had enough time to observe their society.
So far from what she observed compared to what she read from the Codex, the Devillukean society seems to be similar to gothic-esque and European-medieval like type of society, also having Arabian like clothing and have similar architect with combined Aztec and Roman culture designs that also regarded high on culture but still has gigantic level of advance technological superiority. Like their planet's name and culture they follow the appearances and some practices of demons and devils. Romanic yet advance, medieval yet civilized. Most of the Alliance was actually plain surprised that they manage to avoid civil wars and maintain society despite the type of government existing.
Walking through the halls of the unfamiliar Senate building, she was treated with respect and was given refreshments as well as her escorts. Along with that, she saw and met some of the alien races, those of which who she spoke to we're the Memorzians and Charmians due to having the closest physical similarities, those she just eyed with interest we're insect looking aliens, sentient reptilian species and dinosaurs in space.
Her thoughts about the universe were plain simple, 'Star Wars on drugs'. Fictions were more of a reality than what is happening now, this was certainly weird for her at least. I mean seriously, Aliens having two genders one body, aliens having unwanted 'To be loved´ power and devils who would get horny if their tails are scratched! But we're not trying to be racist here okay.
After minutes of walking through the hall way, the group halted in front of a giant door, which Anita assumed to be the door leading to the Senate room. Any moment now, that door will open and she will enter carrying Humanity with her.
"Announcing the arrival of Lady Anita Goyle, representative of the Systems Alliance!"
The gigantic door opened in a slow but graceful momentum as then the group was gestured to enter. With firm steps, they stepped inside and stopped once reaching the middle of the massive oval-shaped courtroom.
Anita didn't really know what to expect here, so far the Devilukes are the present race in the room, much to her relief.
"Greetings! I am Anita Goyle and I represent the Systems Alliance, along with my aides, Hackart Mord and Stella Conwell" Anita said particularly to everyone in the room, thanks to their genetical implants, they manage to fluently speak Japanese. Eyeing her surroundings, nobles alike occupied the seat her left and right while in front of her was the one who had authority all over them and a lone guard in skull demonic armor beside the said one.
"Greetings as well representatives of the Systems Alliance, I'm Sephie Michaela Deviluke, queen of the Milky Way Galaxy. On behalf of my husband and the empire, I welcome you." The queen of the galaxy said with a motherly and gentle voice. It took all Anita's effort to resist from letting out a giggle at that, she was giddy as a high school girl but showed no signs of it.
"I'm Zastin, Captain of the Deviluke Royal Guard. Before anything else, some of our senators have been concerned. As you are now aware, you terrans are the by far has the largest territory in the galaxy. While we are glad no other race have been living in your space and subjugated if did, the other alien races growing weary and suspicious so please understand that it is a security risk for other rac-WAAAH!" The royal guard said only to startle the diplomatic group when he literally just fell off the podium where he was standing and landed on his head. Anita and her group just gape at the scene before them as they just watch Zastin's body twitch, they turned to the court witnesses only to see them just eyeing them as if the scene was normal so they just concluded that Zastin just had a bad-luck today.
"I assure you your highness, we humans do not seek war to anyone nor we have any plans to start in the future as long we're not provoked" Anita said as she sweat dropped while trying to regain her cool in the court which they seem to approve.
So did the diplomatic meeting went smoothly as it should be, normal as possible at the least.
At the end of the meeting, the Systems Alliance achieved their wants and surprised once that they received no demands from the Queen as she bluntly dismisses the present senator's claims and accusations then passionately gave the Alliance what they have requested.
The Alliance diplomatic group was bewildered at the queens antics, they we're aware of the skills of the Devilukean queen as they read articles of her leadership since the absence of the Devilukean King, but to treat the First Contact meeting like a kid playing in a sandbox was absolute shocking and utter disturbing. Either that or she was letting the Alliance in her cards.
But unknown to them, the queen was quietly ecstatic and was dazed as if a goddess has descended during the meeting. With sparkle in her eyes, she admired Anita Goyle as she listened to her words of wisdoms and her moralistic views and ramifications about her race and their Systems Alliance, it just was so beautiful that it made her teary-eyed, never she have ever seen a race who stands by their morals and views, let alone a race whose barely old in the interstellar age, unlike those arrogant ones who they are working with everyday. Sure she already saw aliens with the same views and culture ideals but she had never seen a race so Democratic (AN: AMERICA!)
As for the requests, they we're spoken by Anita with pride and assurance with some hidden agendas, more like demands that transcends political wishes.
Galactic Law or Devilukean Law will not be active within Alliance space as per Alliance law are not attuned with some Devilukean law due to polar opposite societies and will not be a part of their dominion due to the lack of participation of the so call Unification War. In return, the Alliance will still validate the Unification Treaty to avoid excessive external conflicts and will also halt furthermore expansion to avoid border conflict with other races, the Systems Alliance will also become the Empire's allies and shall respect the Devilukean royalties' authority and dominion over the rest of Milky Way.
"That would've gone worse" Hackart said not wanting the silence to last forever until they return to Alliance space.
"…Did that just happen, I mean is this reality?" Anita just as they continued walking.
"Look I know you're surprised, we all are. Who would've expected someone at that level?" Stella said while their escorts just remained silent and vigilant.
Anita and her group are still shocked right now, the war with words that took place in the senate was a walk in the park and the enemy was sincerely and unbelievably serious with their words. Sure the witnesses we're a little sane but they held no power against the queen of the galaxy.
"Lady Goyle!" Anita and her group turned to see Zastin walking up to them. Upon reaching them, he bowed not too low and held an apologetic face.
"Lady Goyle, my sincerest apologies for displaying such behavior and spouting accusation during the meeting. I hope this will not affect our relations and I also hope I could reverse that mistake somehow"
"Worry not Sir Zastin. Your approach and reaction is common within diplomacy, you should not worry too much" Anita was again starting to sweatdrop, the guy was being too sensitive and formal, TOO FORMAL for his own good.
"Uh…how about this, do as a favor and we will forget this whole incident" Anita said which something that made Zastin very happy.
"Anything" Zastin said half-eagerly and half-gleefully. Anita looked to her escorts as they gave her a shrug, nod of approvals and signs of 'why not?'
"Well, how about you give us a tour around your city"
"Certainly! Please let me arrange an escort of guards and we can begin right away"
The group then we're waiting by the Senate entrance. A few more minutes of waiting, Zastin along with a group of Royal Guards returned to them with someone unexpected to the group, with them was Queen Sephie.
"Ah Lady Goyle, I wish you don't mind me coming along with you, I just wish to extend my friendship to you and your friends" This caught them off-guard, they certainly expect the Queen to be this...friendly?
"You honor us with your words your highness. Certainly your highness let us be friends" Anita quickly responded with a low-bow not wanting Sephie to notice her confusion and wait for her answer.
"Splendid! I can't wait to share tea with you!"
Anita and Stella yet again sweatdropped at the Queens antics while four guys with them who we're silent the whole time we're trying their best not to ogle at the Devilukean Queen, they we're surrounded with Royal Guards and they we're certainly sure that they're dead if caught.
Yeah, this was certainly a weird universe. This tea party would give the Alliance a political gain since that hardly matters to the Devilukean Empire. When they returned the Alliance went into a flux of disbelief upon receiving their over-written reports.
Upon that day, the Systems Alliance became a major superpower of the Milky Way, second only to the Devilukean Empire. The first race to stand and deny Devilukean law
Codex/Systems Alliance
Systems Alliance - The Systems Alliance, formerly the United Nations and Sol Alliance, is the governing body of Human-occupied planets and space. The Alliance is the expansion, economic, diplomatic and military spearhead of Humanity as they represent and speak in behalf of Earth and her colonies in the event of extraterrestrial contact.
Cerberus - Cerberus is a separate branch in naval intelligence and the biotic research division for the Systems Alliance and the founder of the famous N7 and container of the Blacklight virus, completely independent from the Alliance and is the only organization that can freely conduct operations without Alliance authorization.
Arcturus Station - Located in the Arcturus System which the system is the most center of Alliance territory, the Arcturus station is a star-base and symbol power for the Systems Alliance. With a length of 13km and a domed city of 5km in diameter, replacing earth, it became the capital of the Alliance and the residence of its parliament, as well being the command headquarters of the Alliance Navy. Having four Prime Stargates leading to outer colonies and moon outposts, the Alliance can send reinforcements to in the matter of hours.
Blacklight - Blacklight was an alien virus that was first encountered in the 2105 century and accidentally released in a colony which's name and location is now classified (DESTROYED!). Former goverment divisions such as the Blackhawk and Gentek, now Cerberus, were task for quarantine, control and utilization of the virus which emerged successful after three years of hard-work. Under the walls of Cerberus, the virus served as Humanities last resort should conventional means ever fail.
Mass Effect - Element Zero or Mass Effect weapons are fitted for the Alliance Star Fighters, Alliance Starships and have always been the standard issue armament Alliance military, arming it as the bulkhead of their naval and ground weapons ranging from Sidearm to Spinal-mounted Mass Accelerator Cannon, with the exception N7 and Cerberus as they get the best the Alliance and Cerberus R&D could offer.
Thannix Particle Cannon- The Thannix Particle Cannon is a energy-directed laser weapon and is considered the most powerful weapon the navy they could install to their ships with mass-production capability, though only available for powerful military ships, specifically starting from destroyers to dreadnoughts due to its requirements of a more larger power core.
