Chapter 13: The Senate
Earth December 21st 0800
Earth, the birthplace of most of humanity and the capital of the UNE, in the Exilan invasion that twenty major cities were made into ruins with more than 50 million dead, never again, was said by every leader at the time and thus it was made sure that no threat shall ever touch Earth and it's people, ever.
The were three fleets each with up to 40 ships were assigned in guarding Earth, Mars, and the entire Sol System itself all of which would warrant the fact that trying to attack the planet would be suicide. Up to forty orbital defense platforms which had the power to wipe out entire fleets themselves was another deadly reminder and the fact of the development of planet-based defense systems were to be introduced such as Project Stonehenge and Excalibur along with the continued maintaining of nuclear missiles to make sure that any enemy trying to put their foot on Earth's soil would be met with death.
Another defense measure was the fifteen Precon ships that were positioned near Earth's major cities and industrial areas, as even though that their onboard shipyards, factories, research labs, and the data terminals have them relegated to being used in aiding the UNE's military industry, the fact is that the ships themselves can give the UNSF forces a beating means also that it'll deliver a knockout to any threat to the Sol System.
On the planet itself to be put simply around 10 million troops are ready to defend the planet in a heartbeat with 30 million reservists to be reported to have their weapons and gear kept ready in their homes with to 80 million registered militiamen. On Earth's seas a remainder of ocean-vessels are still in use though modified to be automated as importantly there are 300 submarines that are ready to launch nuclear and antimatter warheads at whatever threat that comes knocking.
"We're here," told Jaime as then when using the full view option the Falmart guests got a full view of the planet called Earth as when coming out of Warp they exited out to a point where they could see both the day and night side to where they say the beautiful green and blue while being able to look in awe at the lights seen throughout.
"It's beautiful," told Myui as everyone could agree in the statement.
So how many people live on this world," asked Lelei.
"About nineteen billion," answered Alex which most of the Falmartians looked at him in shock at the amount of people
"How many people are part of the UNE in total," asked Persia.
"Um, like 200 billion though only 100 billion if you discount AI citizens," told Miller to the guests went full disbelief at how many people the UNE has in population.
That the spacecraft made its way to towards the planet as the passengers were then told to buckle up in their seats as they're to make a re-entry to the planet. When reentering that the craft was shaking a bit which made the Falmartians worry a little as then when looking at the window flames was seen when covering the craft but were reassured in that nothing horrible will happen.
This is Flight 16 to Geneve Aeroport Tower, request permission to land
This is Geneve to Flight 16, you have permission make conventional landing, please head to vector 270
Copy vectoring now
Soon enough the space-liner re-entered the planet's atmosphere as it was no longer heating up as down below was a large city that while less impressive than where they came out of the gate, they were still in awe.
This is Flight 16, landing now
Soon enough the space-liner touched the surface of the runway as it was moving a bit before stopping as then taxied to a private terminal.
"See safe and sound," told Miller.
Soon they all got up from their seats moving to the front of the aircraft to exit as they began walking through the terminal as they were then met with reporters with cameras in hand with security holding them back.
"Just keep moving and don't pay attention to them," told Turner as with further walking managed to get out of the reporters sight as then when going through more areas left the terminal as they then entered a bus.
When driving throughout the city they that the architecture had resemblance to that of cities back in Falmart though the fact it was still more advanced than anything they had seen.
When driving by an area they saw a group of people gathered around with multiple signs hold up and them chanting.
"Burn Sadera, Burn Sadera, Burn Sadera, Burn Sadera,!"
"Why are these people so angry," asked Myui.
"They are people who were there during the attack or had someone they lost as when hearing about you guys coming, well most of them are now wanting to vent their anger," told Jaime as a protester lifted both hands in the air giving the bird.
"But we didn't do anything," told Tuka.
"Don't worry we got your covered and I bet once they watch the hearings and get the full picture," told Yuna.
Soon the bus arrived in front of the UNE Senate building which was the old UN Office but with several changes such as a large expansion to it and having a large skyscraper rising up which was almost to what was at the one in New York. The exited the bus as a line of reporters were held back as they entered the building which design was something to be marveled at by the Falmartians.
With much walking that soon enough they entered a large room were it was there were two large rows of seats facing each other as in the middle at the of the room was a podium area .
"The session will now begin," told chairman of the hearing as they all seated.
"This session will cover the events of the battle that occurred with this supposed Flame Dragon and will also cover the battle of Italica and case presented by
"Will we start with known information given by the UNSF Department in Public Affairs, that men of the UNSF Marine Corp. present here were escorting a group of civilians to which a creature called a Flame Dragon attacked to which it was killed but with the tragic loss of up to ninety of the civilians, Lieutenant Johnson if you would explain," asked the senator from Alpha Centauri.
"Well, we were sent on a mission to make contact with the local populace in the area via grpund vehicles as our encounter with the creature was at the second village we were at, as we managed to drive it away-," told Johnson before being interrupted.
"Excuse me Lieutenant, but how weren't you and your men weren't able to kill it with the weapons you had," asked the Senator from the Zosma System.
"Well," as then a hologram of information regarding the dragon," that when examining the body after getting killed by the Alan Shepard that studies showed that the Dragons scale were as strong as tungsten and extremely thick making it able to deal with most of firepower as further studies suggest that it's capable of self healing so not that we couldn't kill it, it would take a long time as our priority was the safety of the population," replied the Lieutenant.
"That'll be as of now," replied the senator.
"Then after the encounter we helped the elf villagers in leaving their village deeming staying there a safety risk as we escorted them back to Coda Village as some Imperials attacked them but were dispatched by special forces team that was in the area, as soon we escorted them toward a neraby settlement as at 1241 is when the dragon came in going straight for the civilians as we manage to get it's attention to get it away from the civilians before driving it away as then it was killed by the Alan Shepard," told Alex.
Soon a senator for the Alpha Centauri system stood up," Now Lieutenant my question is on how you couldn't find this creature before it caused such destruction?"
"Well sir, we didn't had any knowledge of it until encountering that satellites and warships are spread thin throughout the planet as well as that there was large cloud formations over the area preventing visual detection and how these clouds acted similar to that of several gas giants whose storms causes electronic blocking thus sensors could not pick it up, also in the report coming from the Alan Shepard that the reason for the continued firing as that the kaiju was still alive even when taking two missile strikes and those missiles were designed to go through several meters of titanium and at least be able to "peice through" shields," Alex replied as the senator replied in acknowledgement of the answer with a simple thank you.
"We will now move onto the treatment of refugees and conditions as may the witnesses come up," told the chairman to which Lelei first got up and stood in front.
"My you please state your name," asked the chairman.
"Lelei La Lelena."
"Now it was stated that you have managed to learn the English language and a having some understanding of other ones as well is that correct," asked senator from Procyon.
"Yes that is correct ma'am," replied Lelei.
"Now I we would like to know about the conditions in the refugee camp, as are you lacking any necessities such as food, water, clothing, and shelter," the senator asked.
"No, frankly that everything that has been provided for us is seen as luxury items to what we used to have as our lives under the UNSF is better than our previous ones," told Lelei.
"In the statement of the line of events by the Lieutenant was it true that soldiers of the Saderan Empire had attacked your village," asked the senator.
"Yes, though I didn't see it with my own my eyes that a person went ask me and my master for help to fight against though your 'special forces' already dealt with them when we arrived as many people village told us of them being Imperials," explained Lelei.
"That'll be all as of now, may Tuka Luna Marceu come up please," told the chairman as Tuka came up to the podium.
"Now, in representing your people, how are you treated in the refugee camp the UNSF has provided for you," asked the senator.
"Very well, as it surprised most of us since the Empire would look down on us as with the fact would put harsh taxes on our tribe as well as others, as we are given better treatment than under the Empire," told Tuka.
"Thank you, as my next question as if this brings up any bad memories, than feel free not to answer as during the encounter with the Flame Dragon, do you feel that the Marines lacked in their ability in fighting it off," asked the senator.
"No, the fact that myself and the rest of my tribe did live is the fact that the Marines did their jobs well," answered Tuka.
"Thank you for your time," the senator told.
"Next, may Rory Mercury come up," asked the chairman to which when hearing it most of the
"Now firstly, can you tell us of the conditions you live in," asked the senator.
"The conditions I live in, well for a person of my status, they are beyond what is available to me and the fact that the common folks are being given the same treatment as me, which is something that the Empire wouldn't think about doing ever which shows greater generosity than the none Sadera has" told Rory which caused a few raising eyebrows.
"Excuse Miss Mercury, but can you elaborate on your supposed status," asked another senator.
"I am an apostle of the god of war and death, Emroy as I serve in upholding the lives of his followers and punish those who sinned in his eyes," told Rory which raised more eyebrows as the marines minds would had them screaming mentally at what just been said.
"I call bullshit," called out a senator from the Procyon System which cameras and everybody in the room had their eyes on him from statement.
"Senator Alferov, language," told the hearing's chairman.
"Sorry Chairman," replied Alferov.
"My, disrespectful to your elders are you, little boy," told out Rory.
"Young lady, I'm reaching my hundreds already so how about you apologize for being the disrespectful one," told Alferov.
"Well this is going to be fun," Rory told t herself before Alex stepped in and began to pull her away and got in front of the mic.
"Uh sorry sir, I believe there is a bit of misunderstanding here as Rory is actually the oldest one in here," which was met with some laughter.
"So how old is she then," asked Alferov.
"Uh, nine hundred and sixty three, its in the report," told Alex which had a few people in the room begin looking through the various files.
"Yeah right, no way she's almost a thousand years old," told Alferov.
"Uh, that if you read the report when beginning to have the populace under go vaccination that when also doing blood examinations that medical staff noticed of how's it behavior which allow for very rapid self healing of wounds and that when separated will try to rejoin, and that the age of the cells match that of a person that is over nine hundred," told Alex.
"Uh, it says here that elves range up to hundreds, is this true," asked another Senator.
"Tuka," Alex called to her.
"Uh, yes most elves live up to several hundreds of years, as I am one-hundred sixty five," Tuka told which caused more internal shock.
"Uh, order, please I believe that we are getting out of the topic of this session, uh, Ms Mercury are the UNSF's camps conditions meet your essential needs," asked the chairman not wanting to cause more possible chaos.
"Yes, as how live is greater than what most people could dream off," told Rory.
"And during the engagement with the Flame Dragon, did the Marines did they're best," asked the chairman.
"That the fact that your soldiers droved it off, and then had it killed, speaks volume when all the Empire ever did was hope that its hunger for flesh stopped for it to go in to hibernation," told Rory.
"Thank you for your answer Ms Mercury as we are now moving over into the debate over the battle of Italica, as may Countess Myui Formal step up," stated the chairman.
"Now you are the current head of the city is that correct," asked the senator.
"Yes after the death of my father, I was the only one worthy within in the line of succession to which I was in charge of the city and province," told Myui to which made many of the senators and viewers watching fell sympathy for the girl.
"Now that you have come here in a request of wanting the area you rule to be apart of the UNE even though in the attack on Coy City had its perpetrators bear the same flag and emblems of your province and city," told the senator before a military official stood up immediately.
"Uh, Senator Hoxha, just to clarify that armed forces for Italica, through wide video examination showed they did nothing wrong during the attack as I would like to add that the report of Saderan soldiers that freed our captured people near the end of the battle were in fact, troops under Italica to which Countess Myui and her people can't be accused of any wrong doing," told the colonel as told by his rank.
The senator staggered a bit for composing herself, "Sorry for my false assertion Countess," the senator told before sitting down.
"Countess Myui, if you could give us the background on your history, if you could for further understanding," asked the chairman.
"Yes, the city of Italica and by extension Formal Province is home to great farmlands that produce large quantities of food as our city was in the middle of two major trade routes in the continent making us a prime target for the Empire during its expansion period, as the Emperor at the time gave us terms of surrender when losing a battle resulting in a majority of our forces destroyed as we were then under his rule, as the only reason we given a form of autonomy was my ancestors being given to the Emperor as concubines and us having to commit men to their campaigns of conquest," told Myui as the people in the chambers murmured at the statement.
"That the reason for the wish of joining the UNE is that of wanting to be apart of a nation who actually puts their citizens as it's top priority, not being under the rule of tyrant ruler, and especially having the guarantee of not ever worrying about becoming slaves," told Myui which as it was said majority of viewers would agree.
"Thank you for you statement Countess, though I am to tell that your request would require a lengthy process that may not go through in the end though the fact of you siding with us and also providing us useful information on the Empire," told the senator.
"Shall there be anymore questions in this hearing," asked the chairman which there was no response.
"I now say this session is now over," anounced the chairman.
"Ugh, that shit was stressful," told Jaime.
"At least that shit's over with," told Miller to which a tv close had it's program switch over to breaking news from the BBC.
Today we got reports of several Saderan Army commanders and especially Saderan royalty that were captured in the Battle of Italica are to have their trial tomorrow at the Hague Supreme Court at 9:00.
With this numerous people reaching the hundreds of thousands have gathered in the city in anticipation as most of them have protesed for the execution of the Saderans which resulted in one protest turned into a riot as a vehicle holding the Saderan prisoners was seen to which rioters were seen charging at the vehicle demanding that the Saderans be given to them to be given justice for their crimes as rioters managed to overturn the vehicle as they attempted to break into the vehicle but they were scattered by riot police and accompanying drones warding them off.
The Hague Police Department has then later asked for additional police units and possible military units due not being able to handle this many people as it has been the largest gathering of people in it''s history as it was later told that prisoners will now be coming in by aircraft.
In other news The Royal Families for the Planet of Xeroach have announced a visit to Roma in show of support for UNSF men and women on the planet as most are anticipating that of King Gabriel Durglihoman who is an Air Force pilot during the Rulark War that had married Queen Sitosriah of the nation of Zequemual that once existed before the planet was invaded by the Rulark.
"We better not be involved in that shit," complained Zussman.
As the began walking to leave to a designated hotel that the y passed by a large room as in the middle was a statue of a strange three legged creature and another was that of a space-vessel as on the walls were pictures of destroyed cities with the three legged creatures causing the destruction with ships in the sky with the last picture being that of them being destroyed with a video of the destruction going on as a simple writing was emboldened in the entrance, Lest We Forget.
"What is this," asked Myui looking as she and the others entered the room looking around.
"This is the First Contact War Memorial room," told Mendoza.
"That around eighty years ago that to where what we have now is something that was deemed impossible, that a race known as the Exilan come here to our world in order to enslave us as we resisted though didn't do much as our victory came from them," Alex was saying as he pointed to the video showing the Exilan ships being destroyed by Precon ships.
"The Precon came and saved us as they gave us all their technology to which what we have know, but that the damage was done, in just about three hours more than fifty million people were dead," told Mendoza as the Falmartians were in shock at what just been said as no war Sadera had fought would amount to the many dead as well as too happen in such a short amount of time.
"That is why when the Empire came, the people were filled with anger as to had some supposed great empire come around and expect us to be loyal servant to them, no we made sure that any nation that that think would be beaten to a pulp," told Alex.
The group soon left the room getting back on the bus as they begin going towards the other side of the lake as they began driving through the city proper which all the Falmartians did was gawk at the structures before them.
Then the bus began entering a parking garage as it would soon stop in front of a doorway.
"What we doing," asked Yuna.
"Well, we're gonna be on Earth for awhile so it was deemed a necessity to get our guests some clothes to fit in," told Jaime.
"So we're going shopping," asked Miller.
"Yep, and it will be billed towards Defense Department so let your wants run free," told Illya.
"What about reporters and other people following us around," asked Daniels.
"We had another bus go before you with holograms of all you guys being seen inside to which people followed as they think you're currently heading to Bern," told Leon.
"So everything, will be billed towards the Defense Department, right," asked Miller making sure what was being told.
"Yes," told Leon
"Could we bring it back to the base?" asked Daniels.
"The fuck would I know," asked Leon.
"Ok what we're getting for the barracks," asked Miller to Daniels and Zussman
"Aren't we supposed to help out our friends in getting what they need," asked Yuna.
"Of course is, just hey the ability to get anything but not on our expense," told Miller.
"Can we just go get them some clothes already," asked Illya.
The group would then exit the bus as the security team asked Lelei and Rory to leave their staff and axe to not attract attention from those that may be there as Lelei complied while Rory required having a discussion before doing as told.
The when entering the mall, the Falmartians were amazed at what first being described as some market to be so grand.
"Wow, so beautiful is every market like this," asked Persia still looking around in wander.
"Well, no though you can find malls in every city, there is," told Miller.
"So where should we head first,?" asked Alex.
"Well getting them clothes that won't make them stand so much is a start," told Turner.
That when entering a department store that with Yuna and Illya being the ones to help dress the Falmartians due to obvious reasons as the two Johnsons and Turner decided to being the one to wait as they let their men have some time to their themselves.
"Ok we're done," called out Yuna from the dressing rooms.
Coming first was Lelei with a simple green winter coat with a hood as she wore a beanie to hide her hair. Tuka had a white sweater with a black overcoat while also having a beanie to cover her ears. As for Rory that it was rather hard but until laying eyes on it she found herself wearing something similar to her "priestess" outfit which was a red shirt, black jacket with red trimmings, and a black skirt with red trimmings as well. With Myui it was a simple winter jacket. For the maids they wore winter leggings with a large sweater that help hide away their tails and varied beanies.
"Looks nice," told Jaime.
"Well looks like we won't have to worry about drawing any attention unless the recognize the faces," told Turner.
"Hey Miller where guys at," asked Alex through his neural device.
"Uh, we're just by the food court, speaking of which are they hungry since last we ate was just before we landed," asked Miller to which Alex would ask them as they gave an answer of yes.
"Yeah they, so meet you over there," told Miller as he hanged up.
Soon they exited the store and began there walk to the food court as a when passing by a few people they didn't get any form of notice from them which meant the plan of disguise had actually worked.
"There they are," called out Turner.
At the food court that most of them were eating the various fast food at the food court which the Falmart natives where surprised at how their food were given so quickly and tasted good as well.
"So where will go next after this," asked Alex.
"Well we plan on going straight to Paris, though is they're anything our humbled quests would like to do before we leave," asked Jaime.
"How about a tour of the city," asked Myui.
Roma: Ascrivium Town Square 1400
When the death of the commander of the territories was killed along with other officers and a group of Imperial soldiers were killed to which it was spread fast that it was the otherworlders that the populace begun to rebel though the army units quickly put them down as then a execution was to be held for them to which the MARCOM unit wasn't going to let that happen.
"Bowman you on the roof," asked Mason.
"Ya, though wasn't easy as I had to knock out two guys were noticed my skin, like shit for the stuff this place has, I thought a human that has darker skin would not be so strange to them" told Bowman.
"Questions later, launch the drone," told Mason to which out of Bowman's hand was a small drone in shape and size of a hummingbird to which it quickly took off in the air recording everything.
"To all you onlookers, this what happens when you think you could stand to the might of Sadera," yelled out an Imperial showing multiple people tied down with head on a block as a person with a large axe was present.
"Yeah like that's gonna happen mince meat," told Woods.
"You who do you think you are to stand up to a solider of the Empire," told the Imperial soldier.
"Me, just a marine passing through," told Woods as then with the snapping of his fingers a loud bang then instantly the Imperial's head being no more.
"Get them," yelled out another Imperial before sprayed down as Woods and Mason pulled ut their weapons as mason began to free the people being executed.
"Thank you," told a man as then he was freed from the chains holding him down.
"No problems now go," told Mason as the people that were to be executed ran with ground away from the scene.
Soon several Imperials with bows being pulled back for arrows lined up in formation.
"Archers fi-," before the lead soldier could finish his head was blown to pieces as then archers were immediately gunned down.
"Uh, I think we need to run," told Bowman as then loud flapping of wings was heard as looking up was a dragon.
"Oh fuck me," cursed out Woods.
Soon let out a quick breath of flames down on to the streets as some got caught as to which Bowman took a shot at the dragon's rider.
"Got the rider," told Bowman as he saw a body drop from the beast.
"Ok but now the thing is running wild," replied Woods as then the dragon began attacking randomly as it was no longer under the control of its rider.
"Fuck it, mom told me luck would always be on my side," told out Mason as when ducking for cover got out a plasma grenade and threw at the dragon as he somehow managed to time it right to the point that ball of plasma erupted at the dragon's face basically burning off a portion of the head.
"Nice throw," told Woods as soon Imperial spearmen began charging at them but were given a rain of bullets.
As they kept running as when encountering Saderan troops they simply shoot them as they went into an alley way as they then a hooded figure then opened the door.
"Aren't there supposed to be three of you," asked the hooded figure as then Bowman would jump them from the roof Imperial soldier an officer judging by his uniform.
"Was running on the roof when I saw I was on top of one of the makeshift troop barracks, which I quickly nabbed him," told Bowman as they quickly entered the building as the hooded figure made sure no one saw.
"Impressive show you gave the Imperials," told Marius as in his hands was a jug of wine.
"Thanks," told Woods as he grabbed a cup and had the drink poured inside.
"So what do you plan on doing now," asked Marius.
"You said they Empire had the people here opposing them sent off to the mines, do you know where some of them are," asked Mason.
"Uh, yes two of my men came from one with a large amount of workers and a lot of gold and iron comes from it, that'll be the best place to deliver the Empire another good punch to the face," told Marius.
That's a rap, if you have any issues please say in the reviews as I'll happily revise this chapter as I admit this chapter has mostly been an actual pain in writing. Also since the city tour is gonna be in the next chapter if any of you have been to Geneva can you pm me some info like popular tourist sites and places to go as I would greatly appreciate it from you. And I will make sure that the next chapter won't be much of a disappointment. I'm still struggling with having to write this via my phone and the stress of highschool, well while at home. Also stay safe out everyone and make sure you stay healthy.
