The empress had calmed down and returned to her seat. She took the moments to listen to the options and statements from each participant. They were divided; some were for their people living on the moon others were against.
@damien_bonaparte"I agree with what you have said Mr.Bonaparte however, it does apply both ways. If a human virus happened to tear it's way through our people it would be disastrous. So for the safety of both our species I would like to rule out establishing a Colony on earth...for now. "
She watched him step out of the room, hoping that it was not her fault he had left. As the chaos began to slow she could see the real seeds of diplomacy beginning to sprout, offers came to the table and people began to talk rather than shout. It was here that she truly saw the human way, they were primitive in technology yet they made up for it in their ability to communicate and make deals. She now had many offers to consider, a compromise sat on the table at the moment. The U.N. had offered half of mars which made for a very tempting offer, they could do more then just start a colony they could rebuild with that much land. The difference in temperature would force them to adapt to new temperatures but, they would survive. However, there were people still pushing for the moon and the moon was also a very tempting location. It was why they were here after all, it was in the near perfect position for their survival as a species. They would not have to adapt in order to survive there, the only difficulty would be sustaining crop growth without the use of external technology.
@tyrus_"Not at all, I can understand why your people would be suspicious and I thank you for your promise. I have heard quite a few offers and I would like to take a moment with my advisors to decide our next move. Before that though I would like to say something and help shed light upon why we specifically chose your galaxy."
Her advisors looked slightly surprised at her statement, like they knew what was going on and didn't like what they assumed was about to happen.
"You have been somewhat hospitable and are trying to take us in so I think it's time I am 100% honest with all of you. We are not the first Andromedeans to come to earth, in fact years ago in the time of my ancestors there was a war. This was our people's first encounter with the Dark Spawn and fearing the destruction of our planet my ancestors attempted to preserve our civilization. One of the four major families of the time, the Cross family, was chosen to find a planet and preserve our traditions. They landed on this planet in a place you call Germany, this was 300 earth years ago."
The empress locked her hands and sat back, crossing her legs.
"We came here because our auto pilot was tasked with sending us to the same location as the Cross families ship in hopes this would already be a second Andromeda. However, as you all know, it is not. So once we discovered this we instead tried to find any survivors of that voyage, we've been in orbit of Earth for about 1 month looking for them. We have only found one, his name is Alexander Cross but, he calls himself Mr. Mask."
She stopped talking at this moment to ensure her statement had time to sink in.
"Alexander Cross is Andromedean royalty and through our traditions is destined to be the Emperor. It has come to my attention through the monitoring of your current events that he has been taken. Well I would like to apologize for whatever he has done and request he is returned to our people."
She then turned her attention to the United states representative.
"As for the offer your proposed we are willing to accept one side of Mars. We are also willing to accept observations by the Organization known as Strike. In exchange we are willing to share our knowledge of the Universe and our technology with humanity. If this is acceptable then I believe this meeting is, how you say, adjourned. "
