Shaw: Enters the chamber Hello there naga old boy. How have you been holding out?
Naga: well, shaw. very well.
Shaw: ...right. Well, there’s Someone who wants to talk to you. Err… Well is it someone or is it something. that is the question..
naga: *rubs his brow* of course, send them in...
Shaw: No need... I don’t think a nexus mass would be able to fit in the room with us... But i have this. *He reaches into his coat and pulls out a small shard of crystal. glowing a Powerful lavender blue color He tosses the crystal into the middle of the room, where it stops and hovers. Generating small arcs of blue lightning.* ...
Naga: ok....?
*The shard makes a deep bass hum. Projecting an image of a Vast glowing blue eye in the air above it on the chamber. a four lobed eye of glowing lavender with a pitch black pupil that stares at them.*
Shaw: This, is the Aberration...
Naga: ...so....this is the aberration...
shaw: Yes.. This is it.
The Aberration: ...naGaETrOs.
naga: yes?
Shaw: It's social skills leave much to be desired... I normally Wouldn’t have come bothering you. But it insisted.
The Aberration: ...ArE yOu tHE DrAcONiAn, oF wHIcH i hAVe hEArD?
naga: yes, I am Nagaetros the first draconian and the draconian of darkness.
The Aberration: yEs... I kNoW yOUr cHOsEn tiTle. I'Ve HeArd iT oN tHe wISpS oF tHe NeTwORks oF tHE eMPiRes... "leithanon"
Shaw: *Raises a brow.* Who is that? It keeps asking for him...
naga: it means "nobody" *growls* and I despise that name more than anything else in the world.
The Aberration: ... *the eye Regards Naga with cold indifference. As it’s voice settles to level tones, having apparently settled into the act of generating vocal patterns.* I have heard it mentioned on the winds of the minds of the psykers.... or rather... one of them. But that is beyond the reason i am here. no. I am here to see you. Naga... The First Draconian.
Shaw: I apologize for prying... *Looks at naga.*
naga: yes, yes, I am aware of that, but what is it you want?
The Aberration:*The eye glares at naga, its edges dispersing into arcs of energy that lance across the floor. but it keeps its voice composed.* you and us serve the same kind of purpose... We all serve to Spread our corruption. to spread it far and wide... But we have found that there is opposition for both of us. Things, that we cannot overcome acting as a singular force... For you. It is the woman we have seen... for us... it is the flux. We share that as well... we think you can estimate what we Strive for here....
Shaw: Standing nearby, quietly observing the conversation with a look of intense focus.*
naga:*unphased* the manipulation and elimination of the flux. you've caught my interest. yes, I didn't like reality being cut from under me like a rug one bit.
The Aberration: *The image of the eye settles.* Nor do i... they experiment on my core shards,and they. like the tenebreans in ages past, think that they posses the intellect, as well as the technological prowess. to stop me, to "Kill" me if need be... yes, they have earned their Extinction well...
naga: *chuckles* then we have something in common in our hatred for them. they need to be cut down a notch or two to teach them what happens when they interfere with powers beyond their comprehension.
The Aberration: Good... We are pleased to hear that you share our opinions on them, and What must be done to put them in their place... Mortals should not try to play "Deities" as fools and test subjects... Lest they be punished for their hubris...
naga: the tale of bellerophon comes to mind.
The Aberration: *Remains at a neutral stance.* ...and old tale of your species no doubt. very well, we will hear it.
naga: not of my species but of humans. the ancient greeks to be precise, I must say I miss them, but the tale is the same as that of the flux in a way. Bellerophon was a great hero who's many feats were the taming of the winged horse Pegasus and the slaying of the mighty chimera, both of which were said to be impossible. as his fame for his great deeds increased, so did his hubris, and he decided he had earned a seat amongst the gods, so one day, he took Pegasus and made it his goal to fly to the top of mount Olympus and claim his throne, but before he could reach the top, Zeus sent a may fly to sting Pegasus, who bucked him off and sent him careening to earth where he met his fate a broken man. and Zeus turned Pegasus into a pack horse to carry his thunderbolts.
The Aberration: ....A tale common of Races that have worshiped the gods and perceived the members of their species as being mortals... Speaking of the concept that no man or power in the mortal plane can achieve divinity... We have heard many like it from the races we've consumed. But a good Story none the less... We always appreciate them.
naga: the drakes have very different stories, but that is not why we're here. this story has relevance to our situation, we are gods, the flux is bellerophon, all we need is our gad fly.
The Aberration: For that... A solution for that role is already at our hand. For while the flux can force my shard fleets to sleep, they cannot quell the infection that rages through them. It sleeps, even now throughout their territories, and between them,near the territories of their... "Puppet allies" . Find a way to Reawaken the slumbering experiment fleets... And they shall spread like wildfire, and all at your command.
Naga: interesting proposal, but allow me to make one of my own. the flux pride themselves on their "superiority", they believe themselves the most intelligent race ever to set foot in ancerious and look down on those they consider savages. I propose a disease of rage and strife, to let loose the dogs of war, and show the flux true irony, then finish them off with your infection. everybody wins.
The Aberration: *makes a noise almost like a chuckle.* your proposal is sound. We shall follow through with it. Degeneration, followed by rapid infection will be suitable for their fate... You receive your transcendence, and we receive our Empires Eldrich territories back under our control... Such as our purpose is.
Naga: all I need is the blood of a member of the flux ascendancy, a small sample will do. but i'd like a corpse just to be sure *to shaw* add that to the grocery list next time you go out.
The Aberration: *Turns to shaw momentarily, before resuming its attention on naga.*
Shaw: *Nods.* it wont be a problem... They're easy enough to kill while on their own. Shall i bleed a few into barrels for you to add to your growing Sangre Cellar?
Naga: hmm...please do. I might have a use for them after all. *laughs* the blood of an extinction event is always the most pure.
Shaw: *Chuckles.* you should follow the Brethren moons... The races they've killed off were rather funny...
The Aberration: *Remains quiet.*
Shaw: ... *looks at naga.* Entity doesn't have a sense of humor...
Naga: I expected as much. oh, well. just bring me a corpse and I’ll take care of the rest. im sure Romulus will enjoy this opportunity.
Shaw: Without delay naga... Gives me another reason to torment them a little more...
The Aberration: then the Deal has been struck... and our alliance is sealed...
Naga: yes, our deal is struck. let us make good on it. And like an arrow to a knee, bring chaos to their order.
The Aberration: Very well... *The energies surrounding the eye begins to fold in upon themselves.* we shall be among the territories of them and their allies soon... *A black obsidian metal like liquid begins to form in the air around the shard hovering on the floor.*
Naga: good. And once shaw retrieves what I asked for I shall set Romulus loose on the flux.
The Aberration: Good... *the liquid starts forming together into a bipedal from.* and with the already increasing pressure on them, they wont be able to respond as well as well as they can.
Naga: yes, let them be distracted. they wont be able to see foresee what is to come with the draconian involved. they're helpless.
The Aberration: Do not place the flux in a statement of underestimation... They still have the ability to be a massive headache if they are not dealt with correctly... *The bipedal from becomes more focused as it finalizes itself, the black liquid forming itself around the glowing lavender blue shard in the form of a Metallic black Semi-Skeletal Crystalline Drake. Cold blue flames glowing in its eye sockets.* "That’s a bit better..."
Naga: I am aware of their tricks and what they're capable of, but I don't believe you should underestimate the draconian either.
The Aberration: I do not... But we have both learned the consequences of assuming otherwise in terms of our enemies. But thankfully, i can observe that we've both learned from our collective experiences.. And in that we have very little to fear from them except as an irritation.
Naga: yes, we have. There is much to learn when you're "trapped" in a mind. Very little to fear at all. in fact, Mammon has been leaching off of their pride ever since we came to ancerious.
The Aberration: good... We've already started then. When the flux enact their movement to cleanse the galaxy, Let loose the dogs of war... *It turns and Walks away, its puppet form shimmering and disappearing from the court.*
Shaw: *Has kept largely quiet during the conversation.* Well that was an interesting meeting...
Naga: yes, quite the progressive event. just what I needed in fact. *smiles*
Shaw: *Chuckles and smirks.* Well, I'm pleased to hear that its given you new enthusiasm. *He pauses.* I'll be off now.. I've got to Pick up two members of the Flux for you... *He chuckles again.* hmm... *He pauses.* I wonder though...
Naga: and what do you wonder?
Shaw: I'm wondering... *He looks at Naga.* Can i borrow a Shard?...
Naga: *takes a sliver and tosses it to shaw* what do you intend to use it for?
Shaw: *Smirks cruelly.* You'll see...
Naga: ...perfect.
Naga: well, shaw. very well.
Shaw: ...right. Well, there’s Someone who wants to talk to you. Err… Well is it someone or is it something. that is the question..
naga: *rubs his brow* of course, send them in...
