Daniel stood with his head bowed in front of him, feet seperated, hands behind his back... he was well illuminated, yet the room was entirely black. He stood there for a few minutes, and flickers of light began to manifest around him. It only took several moments before it could be told what was being generated. Legions of men marched above and below him, on layer upon layer of false ground. everything from his point to the right was Carnaithian men, marching in their gear, rank and name displayed above them in a way not unlike a game. To the left, every Vehicle in the Imperial military. He accelerated upwards, and it was almost an extremely dense atmosphere; as he went, he passed units focused on that layer of the atmosphere of the world... and he kept going until he reached 'space'. He could see every ship in the fleets... from Carnaith's minute clouds of nano-disassemblers, to the massive, solar-system-wide galaxy-crushers that hadn't been used since the Second Omniversal War. He swiped his arm, and he went to the side; towards Carnaith's special forces section. He changed the atmosphere... a rainy night. He selected a layer... Infantry. He selected a group... The Red Fox SF. He watched as the men marched passed with their weapons ready, the lightning reflecting off their faceplates as raindrops slowly dripped off of the angled surfaces. EXO troopers; fearsome in their armor and mechanical equipment walked passed... Daniel accelerated himself forward. He came to their leader... Right General Solan Reik-the man who had caused so many problems in ancerious- in his many forms, only one revealed to ancerious so far. He closed the hologram, and was in the bottom floor of his basement. He looked over, looking at... a duplicate of himself in a meeting. Reik walked through the door, and both Daniels looked towards him.
"Hello Reik, I understand you have been notified as of why you have been called back here?" Both of them said simultaneously.
"...Yes Sir..." reik replied nervously.
"Do not worry, you are not in too much trouble" Both of them said, as the one in the conference had temporarily closed the other's ability to see and listen on them.
"Then... why did Kate make it seem so?" Reik asked, confused.
"You know Kate loves to mess with you..." the two Daniels said, passing behind a pillar simultaneously, and one of them becoming Daniel's Personal A.I. XANOS as they re-emerged on the other side, undescernable which had been doing what. "Xanos, go finish up some of my projects, will you? Also, Reik? Come with me..." Daniel said, with XANOS disappearing and Daniel walking towards the metal door leading to the exit elevator. "We need to speak"
"What about, sir?" Reik replied, beginning to follow
"Your actions in the Ancerious galaxy, and your punishments for some"
"Sir, I-"
"Solan, please. Don't interject" Daniel said as they entered the elevator. "You've been the cause of multiple problems considering our relations with some of the larger empires, including the Union of Worlds, including bringing a... ...Your gun to a peace conference, rather than hunt down alleged Shadowblade activity in the galaxy... and withdrawing all of our forces after a petty tower got destroyed. Explain."
"Well, sir... you're going to think I've gotten even more insane after i tell you this, but..."
"Get it out, Solan."
"I was trying to end our involvement in the war by peace, for once."
With this, Daniel's eyes widened, and a small smile crept on to his face. "Actually, that's a double edged sword situation, Solan. You withdrew our forces, breaking multiple treaties' agreements, but you did show that you can be intelligent at times... therefore you'll get to take your paid leave learning something.... Also, temporary demotion to Captain, you don't have a shit's say anywhere against anything other than those less than Jackson, so have fun. Also, once... and if... you return to Ancerious, you WILL stay undetected by other empires other than the USM and DHR until I have something to say about it, is that clear?"
"Wait, what?" Reik said, and Daniel glared at him. "I mean, Yes sir, it's clear" Reik said as the elevator reached the top floor. The two were in a basement, and began walking towards the stairs. "I will be sending you to Camino for more training... other than that, i would like to speak of something else with you. Would you accompany me down the road a moment, Solan?" Daniel said.
Reik was pondering this, and was dazed by the fact he had just been temporarily demoted. And what was he supposed to do for fun in Ancerious at this point? Media would be everywhere when they saw another colony fleet warping in...
They walked through the door, revealing Daniel's Saldek residence... a simple home, in a simple city. it also happened to be the most occupied of Daniel's four homes, as he had grown tired of the mansion life. "Certainly, sir. Also, if i may ask, where's the rest of the family?"
"Camino, attending the White Dragon celebration, and you don't have to call me 'sir', Solan, you and I have been friends since adolescence." Daniel said, walking about and grabbing some things.
"Very well Daniel, what are we doing if I may ask?"
"I'd like to have fun once in a while, as we did before i found out i was the one nominated by the councils as the next emperor... I've cleared up my schedule with XANOS and the other A.I.s, i don't have to work as much anymore, and can have time to myself once in a while nowadays..."
Footsteps came down the stairs, "Daniel! Is Reik down there again?! I'm going to whoop him for what he did last time I saw him!"
"No, you won't cousin..."
Reik chuckled, and looked at the stairs, as a female Carnathian with greyish fur and half of an ear missing walked down. "Hello to you, too K."
K, or Kliyeshan, looked at Daniel again. "He got DRUNK, and DESTROYED half of my bar last time!"
"Reik, this is another thing i have to deal with, family... And Kliyeshan, I fixed that for you. Now please watch the house, me and Solan are going somewhere." Daniel said, as he opened the door to the patio.
"...Fine..." Kliyeshan said, as she walked back up to her bar which was attached to the main street side of the house, by 'Main street' it means 30 feet wide, still no vehicle traffic. The bar on the 3rd floor accessible by stairs, and Nanites kept anyone from trying to get into the main house.
"Anyways, Solan. Come with me." Daniel said, walking out with Reik following. It was 15:56 PM of Carnaith's 48 hour day cycle. It was raining lightly, and the buzz of the night life was audiable, as people walked about the many family-owned bars and shops in the foot traffic only area of Saldek. the waterfront was a bit down the road, with the 'Actual' city of Saldek shining brightly across the bay from the quiet area. As pedestrians walked past, they treated the emperor as another simple citizen of the Empire, with their personal watershields glowing softly as the were lightly pelted by the rain. If you were to look up, you would be able to stars as well as the extensive triple-layered defense system, one of the best non-classified ones in existence, as well as many ships and space stations reflecting the light of the binary suns as their light could still reach their metal sides. People buzzed softly in the shops and bars, one down a road to the left could be visible as spectators watched coverage of one of the most popular cross-system races in the Carnaith-Camino system. Reik and Daniel began walking down the road to the right, Reik not thinking of the date even though there was a crowd of people gathering at the waterfront, creating a soft glow amongst the crowd, all of the setting adding up to the simple life the Emperor so enjoyed.
"Reik, I wanted to say to you that you're a loyal general and friend, and that I'll let you take first command over the ancerious colonies if you pass this course with flying colors... nothing less"
"what course is it?"
"the one I took before i became emperor... you'll be able to see exactly what i mean behind half of the reasonings i make that you don't understand afterwards." He smirked after a second of letting that process in Reik's mind.
"Hey, that's rude, don'tcha think?"
Daniel laughed, "I jest, Reik. You'll be training under The Caminoan empresses' personal adviser and brother, in the floating mountan sector of Ye'mantua. It's a very peaceful place, you'd actually like it after about a month of training."
"Another boring place, eh?" Reik said with a smile. Neither he or the Emperor had their watershields on, both having served in despicable conditions during the second Demand invasion, they cherished the rain, it's feeling, and what it meant.
The crowd had begun to get a bit loader, as a Carnaithian official ship sailed into the bay, and began it's announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen of the Carnaithian empire, we welcome you to the memorial service of one of Carnaith's finest and most well-known leaders... Emperor Meradien Landrum! With this, fireworks and the sort began launching off of a small island in the bay, as well as off the tops of the towers in the city. Reik realised why Daniel had wanted someone to accompany him tonight, as Kliyeshan tended to be very uncooperative.
Reik noticed some complimentary drinks at the corner of the building 2 feet behind him, and he grabbed two. "To the father of the emperor, and the the one who gave us our heritage as one of the three great empires." Reik said, handing one to Daniel, who took one and smiled.
"I hope you know that he would chew you out faster than shit and throw you IN the bay for what you've done if he was still alive, you know." Daniel said. "but I'm not that cruel..." He trailed off and had a sip of the drink as he watched some of the crowd jump off into the bay. The people were having fun, and Reik was glad he had gotten so close to the emperor, because if he hadn't, Daniel would've done the same as he said his father would. Reik looked up, and saw the lights of the ships above the city moving into the formation of the Carnaithian symbol, something not often done on smaller such worlds. He could see the colonies of Carnaith's frozen moon lit up with the same display, and looked a bit farther down to see a ship of each model of Orion fire off blanks towards the ocean, which then was packed with cruise liners that had been here just to celebrate the ceremony, and half would likely be gone by morning.
--//--
About an hour later, the ceremony had ended and yet the party went on, as the old Emperor had always liked his people to enjoy themselves, and by tradition the parties would go on for at least a week. "You enjoying yourself, light-drinking emperor?" Reik said, sitting with Daniel on his patio as they watched the celebration, and Daniel had only just started on his second drink.
"there's a reason I don't get into contests with you, Reik." Daniel replied. "Tell you what, you ship out when 75% of the parties on Carnaith end, now get out there and party however you please" He said, knowing Reik would give the Caminoans a headache if he didn't get some energy out before he left.
"Thank you sir, and thank you for having me" Reik replied.
"Not a problem, Reik... not a problem at all." Daniel said as he watched Reik jog into the crowd, royal guard uniform still on, And Daniel pondering what the hell to do about the situations in Ancerious as he returned to his underground HQ.
