It has been several days since a team of commandos was able to clear out the last Saiyan holdouts guarding the ion cannons that served as planetary defenses for Kabocha. In the intervening time, Cam, the new Emperor of Kabocha, has built up his armada; he and his friend and ally, Atreus, have used their long range sensors to confirm that the Saiyan Dominion is sending a fleet to Kabocha, and assume that they are coming to retake what they view as their world. Laboring under that assumption, they recruited some allies. Several of the ones they had already brought in were weary or wounded from past conflicts. Atreus reached out to Meiku, a powerful young woman that he had recently become acquainted with. He thought having someone with some magical expertise might come in handy. Cam began to bring Absolut up to speed. The boy had potential, both as a fighter, and as a political pawn in the greater game that was being played. But what happened now? That was... not what Atreus and Cam had been expecting. Part of it certainly was. The fleet of Saiyan war ships. The massive, black leviathan of a vessel that served as the flagship of the supreme commander of the Dominion's army. No, that had all been expected, assumed. What they had not expected was this. Atreus and Cam had been in their war room on Cam's capital ship, sitting there with Meiku and Absolut, waiting to give out orders and deploy. They had known when the Saiyans would be arriving, and in what numbers. The curious thing was, they stayed out of combat range. They hovered on the edge of the solar system, getting into formations, but otherwise... waiting. After perhaps ten minutes, a transmission came through to Cam's ship. A holographic image of a somewhat cruel looking Saiyan appeared above a communications device. "I give you greetings. I am Supreme Commander Onyon, and I have been sent here by Queen Radia. It should come as no surprise to you that your military action against a planet held by the Dominion leaves us... displeased. But there is more at stake in the galaxy then one planet, and we certainly respect both the strength and the sheer balls it takes to do what you did.
This doesn't have to erupt into further war. I'm willing to meet, and talk, and see if we can't find a way forward without more war. Or, at least," Onyon said with a smirk, "Without more wore between Saiyans and Kabochans."Onyon looked down for a moment; it seemed as if he was doing something with his hands. "I've just sent you coordinates, to a place on Kabocha that was known to Thragg and our troops. Apparently some old town, abandoned for a few generations. If you will allow one ship to land, I will bring myself and my personal retinue to meet you, face to face. We can negotiate... and if it doesn't work out, we go our separate ways and have us a good old fashioned war. Or," and he flashed a wolfish grin, "You can try to take me down then and there and see how you do. The choice is yours. You've got an hour to respond, or I'll just assume it's going to be war."The message fades away. Atreus, who had apparently been holding his breath, exhaled, then scrubbed a hand through his thick black hair. "Well... part of me thinks this might be a trap, but if it is, I feel like it's a bad one. Being willing to get out, away from his massive army, onto a planet controlled by you... it's a big risk. What do you think? Should we take him up on this? If we can make the Dominion give up their claim to Kabocha without further fighting... maybe it's worth the risk."You may discuss among yourselves what you wish to do.

Atreus had reached out to the woman at good time, funnily enough--she had also befriended Emperor Cam as well. At least she were comfortable with those two on her team, but she only had heard briefly of the frost demon being held captive by the Kabochan. Today was her first time even laying eyes on the boy, he looked rather small. Meiku's brows furrowed as she examined the youth for a moment before turning her attention toward the others.
Meiku’s face lit up as the face of a Saiyan man appeared on the screen. Her eyes squinted as he spoke, giving false hopes and greetings almost mockingly. The guy left a sour taste in Meiku’s mouth at least. The Earthling leaned back into her chair, her fingers digging into the armrests as she plotted silently. She the ran numbers over and over again in her head, calculating the many ways a ship of that magnitude could annihilate entire civilizations.
A bead of sweat formed on the mechanics brow, she quickly wiped it away to hide her fear from the others. But to be fair, this was the first time should would even see combat since her times scrapping in bars with overly eager molesters.
Her gray orbs narrowed at the plea of 'Supreme Commander' Onyon, he wanted to avoid war--at least that was what he said. Meiku rose in her seat, her arms folding over her chest as she grew more anxious. Onyon had looked as if he were about to send a missile their way, but instead he sent coordinates? She had heard stories of Saiyans, but never knew they were so cordial.
As the message faded, the Earthling found her seat. She idly materialized one of those silly stress puppets you could squeeze. Those always made her laugh. She gripped the toy’s rubbery body forcing the gooey innards to burst from it’s eye and ear holes.
“Heh.”
As the time came for deliberation, Meiku couldn’t help but feel reluctant to speak up. Of course she would much rather talk about truces than wars. However, in the end it would be Cam’s call. It would be his time, people and resources on the line.
“One ship, he compromised by coming alone. Are ya afraid of him?” Meiku inquired casually. The puppet once in her hands disappearing in a blur.
“I mean, with a ship like that I was certainly shitting my pants.”

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil It's true, Cam told him a few days ago that he was going to take the Frost Demon on a mission with him, but when Absolut heard that promise, he did not expect this. Duria woke him up even earlier this morning, got him to pick up his equipment and whatever else he wanted to take on his mission in the span of a few seconds - Absolut took nothing with him, as he opted to train his ability to fight with energy constructs instead - and gave a short briefing on what the Frost Demon was going to step his toes into on the way to war room in Cam's capital ship. He was not going to have to fight against Imperial troops, space pirates, brigands, loose robots or anything else that the boy might have expected. No, Saiyans. Saiyans, from the Dominion. Absolut's knowledge of the war Cam had been fighting against the Saiyan Dominion for all this time has been... scarce, to put it generously, but even he was aware that he and the Saiyans were not exactly on good terms. Again, to put it generously. So the warlord is so confident in Absolut's potential that he was willing to chuck the Frost Demon against the forces of the empire occupying his planet? On one hand, that's certainly a great deal of respect Absolut has acquired in the eyes of his benefactor... but, on the other hand, isn't that a little too much? But, as has become the defining feature of Absolut's time here in general, it's not like saying no is an option. After being led into the war room and saying goodbye to Duria, Absolut sat next to Cam and awaited further orders. Alongside the Emperor of Kabocha, two Earthlings sat on the other side of the table, a man and a woman, neither one of them familiar to the young Frost Demon. And they didn't seem to be familiar with him, either - although the woman did shoot him a scornful look. Absolut retreated a little into his seat out of a bit of embarrassment and worry. What if these Earthlings lost their friends or family to his father's forces and now suspect Absolut to be in cahoots with them?.. What if they know of the relation he has with Polaris?.. Thankfully, a hologram transmission forced Absolut to push those thoughts aside and move his attention to the scarred, intimidating head of a Saiyan speaking to them. They wanted to have a private meeting on the surface of Kabocha, face to face, on the possible terms of a peace treaty between the Dominion and Cam's rebellion. Absolut initially wanted to spectate and let Mr. Cam say the word on the matter, but as the two Earthlings voiced their opinions on this proposal first, the Frost Demon opted to say out his thoughts as well. "I'm... I'm not sure about this, Mr. Cam. When he offered the choice to take him down while he's alone, he didn't seem worried about that at all. Maybe he's confident that he can behead Kabocha by defeating its leader in a one on one match, and that's what he might try..." (530 words)

Emperor Carambolis sat unresponsive for some time. He had expected Radia. He tried not to take it as an insult that Onyon had been dispatched, after all it made sense to send your right hand before crushing an enemy yourself, but only if that right hand wasn't being sent into a wood chipper. That wasn't their tactic. Either the ship they send through would have some sort of surprise on it or Onyon was stupid. Cam knew that latter simply wasn't true. "Let me ask you, all of you, where the blaring hole in this request is?" Cam uttered, looking from face to face, "It's a Saiyan general--their highest ranking general, broaching for peace," the Kabochan grew the slightest of smirks, "I think letting a single ship through would be like sticking my dick in a toaster. No I wager if that ship comes through it'll try and take out our ion cannons, or we'll go to the meeting spot and it'll have a bomb on it that detonates," Cam shook his head, pointing at the monitor, "That's bait. I say we finish this. Capture who we can and scuttle their fleet." Cam knew exactly what Onyon knew: He had the upper hand. He would be a fool to do anything that could compromise it, "Believe you and me, I want peace as well, but my planet is still a derelict war zone. Until that changes I think the only way I get to talk to the Saiyan Dominion is through words, not actions." Never mind the fame as well as the leverage it would give the new Emperor if he could take Onyon alive,as well as many other Saiyan soldiers and ships. His Ion cannons could knock many ships out of the sky before they even had a chance to fully engage, "I'll not rule on someone else's terms. On their pity or mercy or scraps," Cam stated with some finality, "I say we invite their ship in and knock it out the sky, then cripple their fleet. Our Ion Cannons will disable a fair amount of them so that we can keep casualties down, on both sides." the Kabochan pointed out, "We'll capture Onyon and then maybe Radia will start taking us seriously. I'll only negotiate with her, face to face." He glanced from person to person in the room, clearly this was tense moment, the wrong move could spell doom or further war, but the right one would land Cam a decisive victory and cripple the Dominion further. "We can't throw our shot away when we've already gained so much momentum. We'll invite them in and then fire everything. This fight can be over before it even starts. Are you with me?"

Atreus swallowed, then nodded, but offered up his opinion. "I don't disagree with your assessment, but... I've been digging into this Onyon's reputation. He's extremely powerful, and he loves a good fight... but from what I've seen, he's not treacherous or cunning. I don't mean to say he's unintelligent, but giving his service record, a trick like this? That wouldn't be his style. I think we should hear him out.
If his ship is carrying powerful armaments, we'll be able to detect them. We can put some security details on the ion cannons, and we'll let him know that the slightest deviation from the flight plan we give him will result in his vessel being immediately shot down. I... I just think we should at least really try. Besides, Onyon is strong, but with you three there I'm sure you can take him. What's the downside?"Atreus rolled his shoulders. Immediately attacking when there was a way out did not sit well with the young man, though Cam undoubtedly had more experience than he had in these scenarios. "If Radia sent Onyon, and a fleet this powerful here... I would say she's taking you seriously. But the Dominion doesn't usually engage in deception like this. They're Saiyans. They love the fight. My vote is you give them a chance, but it's your Cam call. Do you really want to do this? This might be our only shot at a real peace."

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil Surprisingly, Cam followed Absolut's line of thought, instead of that of the two Earthlings, by stating that he was not going to accept the offer of negotiations and instead continue the ongoing war. Was this influence of his influenced by what the young Frost Demon said? Most likely not, but at least it was a little... comforting that Absolut's thoughts did not stray too far from that of his benefactor. Not that Cam seemed like the type of person to beat a child for simply not thinking the same way as him, but that is a story for another time. The two Earthlings argued against this choice, posing that the situation didn't really align towards this being a trap. Absolut did hear about the Saiyans being a fight loving, almost noble race, so them trying to solve the conflict through a one on one duel did make sense to their character, or, more accurately, their stereotype. Still, the Frost Demon was not fully convinced. "I still think that this might not be a good idea..." Absolut muttered to himself, trying to not stand out too much and thus get noticed by everyone. "This Onyon person seems confident that he could beat Mr. Cam in a duel, it might be too much of a risk..." (214 words)

Meiku sunk further into her seat, her body now resembling a wet noodle due to the fierce decision making in the room. Normally she just went with her gut and if things went wrong, she could usually always salvage the wreckage. That's how she met Cam, ironically enough.
So far she could say that her salvage efforts were positive. She had gained strong allies and valuable comrades along her journey to figure out--whatever hand life had dealt her.
Cam was as eager as ever to suit up and fight the commander head on. She was both his and Atreus’ comrade, it was hard to be on either end of a disagreement in decisions. Meiku was a bit more laid back due to her lack of interest politics. The Earthling wasn't used to having her every action be put under a microscope for criticism and shaming. Being the figurehead of any major power or faction put you at risk of losing your life, or at least having some sort of mental health issue.
Her attention then turned towards Absolut, the boy finally managed to utter at least a sentence. He seemed wary about the situation either way. Both could end badly for them. She leaned in towards the small frost demon and looked him straight in the eye. “You’re kinda cute, but---there’s something that terrifies me about you."
“To be frank, I’ve never seen any of y’all in a battle. The only experience I have was with that weird…. What was her name… Amanda?....Arial...Audr---Yeah Audrey.” Meiku was probably talking to herself at this point since her conversation veered from the topic.
“Either way---Might as well minimize the damages as much as possible though.” Meiku ran the image through her head, a stray ki blast blowing up one of her experimental hydroponics setups. She had been hard at work at her research and development of restoring Kabocha. It was an aim, and a clear goal for the woman--she needed that. Thinking about the explosion, and the loss of work turned her stomach.
“Be careful, there’s a shitton of shit on the surface too. I mean literally, Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer. We don’t want to blow up the planet if you fight there.”

Cam knew he would be at odds with Atreus. He was a hero, and would always strive for less loss of life and a harder personal challenge. The Emperor was almost ready to listen to Atreus when he looked over at Meiku. He hadn't considered that, "Whoa. Meiku is right too. Remember our fight in Pukinpa?" He asked towards Atreus, "Thragg tried to destroy the place and all its data wholesale before letting us have it. And that Saiyan Captain at the Ion cannon bases? She was willing to destroy the place rather then let us take it," he shifted, looking out the porthole window of his ship in the war room, down at his home world, determination and concern in his eyes. "The Saiyans have displayed in this war twice now, that they don't care about Kabocha. It's a trophy and resources to exploit to them. Nothing more," Cam sighed softly, "Onyon has the power to get that kind of attack of. If we let him on the planet he could wipe out any number of the remaining cities, maybe the entire planet. You really think I should risk that Atreus?" The Emperor shook his head, "I think my people have suffered enough. We have the upper hand and a chance to lure Onyon in if he's being honest. If he's not, we see through his ruse and we don't fall for it, but if we take him at his word... We get the upper hand even more. Separating the Saiyan fleet from its commander." It would be like shooting fish in a barrel and Cam knew it. A smile creeping over his features, "I say we let them stir a bit though," he remarked, "Just a bit. We'll respond when the clock strikes forty minutes." Cam ordered. They could deliberate it all they like then, already about five minutes had passed, but now that his eyes were on the clock time would move slow for the Emperor. He felt like he was missing something, but he had to operate with what he knew and what he could see. "The important question is would they see us coming?" he asked to the room, "They may expect more aggression. I've made it quite clear that I and Kabocha are not to be trifled with," he reached up to his scouter, pressing a button in it, "Coca, run the numbers, how many ships are we looking at and how many do we have?" he paused, "Run the simulations and see how many the Ion cannons can take out before they get close enough to engage us with their ships." Vital information. For now it seemed Cam was preparing to give the order to attack, unless he could be swayed otherwise. Summary: WC: 438

Coca began to run simulations. As she did, Atreus spoke up once more. "If we really want peace here, why not toss them a curve ball? Instead of Kabocha, let's meet on a neutral site; my ship. It's standing by; I can have the crew clear out and come over to your capital ship. We can have you meet Onyon there, off planet. If he's willing to accept that... maybe this offer is legitimate."As Atreus offered another option, Coca began to see results. Her face darkened somewhat, then she spoke about the results. "Early simulations are... not promising. If they stick to standard tactics, then yes, we'll be able to cut up a bunch of their fleet. That capital ship is a beast, though. It can probably take a lot of punishment. Similarly, we should assume that the Saiyans have data, if not on your shield ship idea, then at least on the drop ship tactics we used to initially retake Kabocha. Our ability to defend against that is no greater than it was when the Saiyans held the planet. Overall, I'd estimate that, at best, we could disable half of their fleet... if they even choose to bring their ships in, instead of dropping individual pods like we did.
Given Onyon's reputation, I would be very surprised if he were to expose himself to a trap on our end without contingencies. My bet would be, if we do plan on something sly like that, he'll have plans in place.
I believe that we would still win in a direct engagement; outside of Supreme Commander Onyon, I doubt the Saiyans have anyone on the level of you, Emperor, or your allies. But they have the numbers to make this a difficult fight.
What are your orders, sir?"There seem to be several paths before you. You could engage in open conflict; you even have starfighters that you could use against the Saiyan fleet. You could lure Onyon in and attempt to ambush him; you could go and see if his offer to negotiate is genuine; or you could attempt to move said negotiation to a neutral site off planet. What do you do?

Meiku’s brows furrowed as deliberations continued on. It was clear that Cam had his mind made up, it was now just about declaring the intricacies of executing their plot. The men could talk all day about ‘what ifs’ and ‘buts’ but in the end what would happen would happen, and she would rather be there to handle business than fret the details beforehand.
The Earthling peeled herself from the seat before beginning to pace the confines of the room casually. She could plot of many a maneuver to outthink a starfleet ran by Saiyans. Perhaps she would aid in that aspect---but maybe her abilities were more useful on the battlefield. Her mind shot back to her battle against Audrey. She were left beaten and bloodied in the dirt, but it was soon revealed that the android wasn’t an enemy to the woman at all.
Cam pleaded with Atreus, and he soon succumbed as well. Nothing could be said that would be able to change his plans or motives. At least she could feel good that the emperor acknowledged the explosive capabilities that detonating a pile of fertilizer would have. She wiped her brow from now, but next wondered how they would engaged the Saiyan Commander and how should could best aid the rest of the group.
“I mean, thus far in the conversation we’ve been more than cordial. Perhaps he takes us as fools to agree of we talk with him. Either Way, I feel there is a fight involved, a lose lose situation per say. Look at the guy, he could be the feature in a horror movie.”
Meiku mumbled before piping down in the group. She needn’t bring any attention to herself. She were more of a logistics consultant, that a battle planner.

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil The female Earthling's comment forced Absolut to sink even deeper into his seat. He was... he was... cute?.. And yet something about him terrified her... and she looked him straight in the eye, as if she was suspicious about something. Did she... did she know about who his father was? It wouldn't be in the realm of implausibility. Though Absolut and Polaris shared a different skin color - courtesy of his maternal grandfather's line - their faces were noticeably similar. Someone who's gotten a chance to meet the Emperor more than a few times would probably be able to tell what was the connection between him and the youngster sitting in front of him. If the female Earthling had these suspicions, however, she did not voice them and stayed at the ambiguous "something about you terrifies me" line, which... I guess, is nominally better. The debate over how to approach the Saiyan Dominion continued. Cam remained adamant in his stance of no negotiating, while the male Earthling was more optimistic and even proposed his ship as a neutral meeting ground. Coca's voice rang out across the room as well, positing that while victory against the Saiyan Dominion is likely, it will most certainly come with high losses. "I... I withdraw my opinion." Absolut muttered, hoping to not receive something like the female Earthling's comment again by not sticking out too much. Battle tactics and grand strategy were never his field of interest, anyway.

Cam grimaced as he studied the fleet. His eyes moving from ship to ship, he sighed. He knew one way to ensure that if this were a trap, then it wouldn't be used against him. His expression went from a grimace to a snarl as Absolut withdrew his support, "Fine," The Emperor said with some bite, "We'll let one ship cross, I'll hear what Onyon has to say, I don't like it or this turns out to be a trap, I burn the Saiyan fleet." Reaching up to his scouter he tapped it again, "Coca, arm all weapons, raise our shields and open a channel to their flagship," it was a few seconds time and Cam would be sending a transmission to the Saiyan ship, "Alright Onyon, you get to send one ship over but I get to choose which one. I don't care for surprises, and I warn you, if this is some kind of ruse, I won't show much in the way of mercy. If you're telling the truth, then you board the selected ship with your personal guard and I will board one with my personal guard and we meet at a neutral location. Any deviation from this plan will result in every gun and every bit of energy I have into destroying your fleet. We can settle this there. Acceptable?" Cam asked, though the alternative was far more violent. Onyon likely didn't know just who he was dealing with and that was the million zeni question: Could Cam take on Onyon in a one on one fight? Or would the Saiyan commander kill him? As far as Cam knew he wasn't a super Saiyan, just a skilled warrior. One who's armies he had defeated twice now. Of course, there was only one way to find out, "Duria, prep a pair of gunships. We get shot at or shot down, you send the second one out to support us. We'll all board the first and follow them down," Cam offered succinctly. It was a solid compromise, one that likely meant this wasn't a trap if Onyon accepted. Summary:

Coca opens a channel, send the counter offer to Onyon. Surprisingly, Onyon acquiesced, offering the same smirk that he had earlier. If anything, he seems to perhaps think a bit more highly of you for having the caution not to allow your foe to dictate the location of your negotiation. He agrees to your terms, and Atreus sends the order to clear his war cruiser of personnel for the meeting. Cam, you are able to select a ship for Onyon to use. None are without armaments, but you can find a shuttle craft with only light guns and armor that should work for Onyon and his personal guard. Similarly, you have transport vessels that will afford you a decent degree of maneuverability and defense on your trip over. Coca and Atreus remain in your capital ship, tracking Onyon and searching for any signs of trickery. For now, however, it seems as though Onyon is sincere. You all make your way over to the Ragnarok. Normally a bustle of activity, the ship is essentially a ghost town... except for the concentration of high power levels that you can feel in the ship's meeting room. Heading there, you find Onyon already waiting for you. He looks just like he did on the hologram, but you can see that he is also tall and heavily muscled. He is flanked by several guards, as well as a striking female Saiyan that stands at Onyon's right hand. Onyon's entourage is alert and ready for trouble, but not actively threatening you. In your next posts, please list your scores for non-combat challenges. What do you do?

Well, at least they had all decided on something after a few moments of deliberation, although the small frost demon beside of her seemed to rescind his decisions. She puffed her cheeks in annoyance. Indecision was something she never understood. The mechanic always went headfirst into anything she chose. She of course weighted the benefits to the negatives---but for the most part once she made a decision she didn’t loiter. To see such an unconfident kid upset her. The Earthling furrowed her brows and wondered if it had anything to do with being surrounded by such intimidating leaders his entire existence.
She rested a hand upon the boy’s shoulder and shot him a reassuring smile. Sure, she may have came off as intimidating to the boy earlier, but she made it clear she were no threat to an ally.
“Be more firm. Never waver in your beliefs.” Meiku spoke in a solemn tone, her gray hues locking onto Absolut’s before shifting her attention towards the computer systems in the room. Cam quickly sent a response to Onyon’s ship after coming to a valid decision and emergency plot if things didn't go as intended.
“Either way, on a gunship or with my fists, I will aid your cause. After training so much lately, I feel ready. But Onyon is a whole different beast, so I hear. Stuff of legends and shit.”
After the response from Onyon’s ship confirmed the agreement they all filed to Ragnarok. Her eyes marveled at the technology in the ship, her mind running wild with how she could improve upon the blueprints and design. She also tried to notate anything she could use for an advantage if a scuffle did break out among the group. Thinking about how one can use resources was invaluable in a fight, Meiku tried to be as prepared as possible in every endeavor.
As they arrived at their destination she remain wary, her mind checking every corner for energy signatures of threats. Despite Onyon being on edge, it appeared he wasn’t going to ambush them---yet.
Her dull lazy eyes locked on the variety of guards by the commander's side, as well as a female wearing more prominent armor. Perhaps this was the personal guard he spoke of, and the other guards acting as buffers to Absolut and Meiku’s appearance. Afterall, Cam arriving with three others may seem a bit unfair.
Her eyes shot back to Absolut who she assumed was internally shitting his pants based on her interactions with the Earthling thus far.
“Hey, stand up straight kid. You don’t want your head incinerated yet.”

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil The spaceship Ragnarok was massive, clearly designed to carry a large number of people, and yet, outside of the small entourage of Saiyans, it was completely empty. The aforementioned Saiyans, on the other hand, were intimidating beyond belief. Onyon alone looked like he could use Absolut as a toothpick, and that's not to mention all the other equally gruff, battle-worn and serious warriors surrounding him. Even the Saiyan woman standing next to him looked like she could snap the Frost Demon in half with just her vision alone. This was the moment where Absolut's mind carefully tapped him on the shoulder and reminded him of a yet another problem. Here he was, the son of Emperor Polaris, the greatest enemy that the Dominion has faced ever since the Saiyan War, sent here as a member of the mission for negotiating a peace treaty between the Saiyans and Kabocha. It's surprising that none of said gruff, serious warriors haven't lunged at him yet, aiming to snap his neck or at least take him to captivity... No, when he's by Mr. Cam's side, there should be nothing to worry about. Which is why Absolut diligently stayed by Cam's side - practically walking and standing behind him, trying to mask his presence, ignoring the first few beaks of sweat forming on his forehead. Unfortunately, the Earthling girl he had exchanged a few lines with earlier caught wind of this and turned to him, requesting him to stand up straight or else be faced with getting his head incinerated. The Frost Demon gulped in result. She doesn't have a clue, does she? But Absolut couldn't just ignore her, either. The best he could was explain herself just a little bit, for both of them to be up to the same speed. As such, the Frost Demon leaned up to Meiku and began to whisper: " I'm... sorry if I appear like I'm too afraid of standing straight. The truth is, depending on how much these Saiyans know about who I am, I might be a liability in these talks from the get go..." (349 words) Same problem of uncertainty as Meiku - I put 1 into Cunning. So either +2 to Cunning and +1 to Physical, Knowledge and Diplomacy, or only +1 to Cunning.

Cam didn't much like being on a ship that wasn't his own. The systems weren't fine tuned for his crew, then again his crew wasn't needed. With both gunships crossing, it would be Cam, Meiku, Absolut, Atreus, along with a pair of guards on one ship. Aboard the gunship that trailed was Duria, Talfa, Hureo and Deon, all landing in the hangar bay and making their way to the bridge of the Ragnarok. He wagered Onyon and these other Saiyans might find Cam to be unassuming. He was a fit, toned male of his species but he didn't have the hulking muscle mass many warriors did. His armor, cloak, and amulet, along with his gauche sense of style likely identified him as the Emperor in this crowd, gold and silver bejeweled rings on his hands, pierced ears, a golden clasp for his pulled back ponytail. He hoped that his foe wrote him off as some spoiled autocrat. That would make winning a fight that much easier. For a moment nothing was said as the two groups met up with each other. Cam slowly reaching up to his scouter, doing a scan of all his adversaries power levels. They were bound to have one hell of a fight on their hands if such a battle were to break out. Finally, the Emperor stepped forward a few paces, the iridescent gloss in his eyes catching the light to give him an especially predatory glare. No wiles or tricks would distract him now, or so he hoped, "I'm a little insulted Radia herself didn't come. Still, I suppose it's a smart move to send someone like you," Cam heaved a sigh, one that might make him appear tired or dejected, the Kabochan all too aware of his body language and actions, anyone who knew Cam knew he held a genteel nature, one that was sweet and friendly to his allies and positively venomous to his enemies, though this was something entirely different. "I trust the Saiyans have demands?" Cam asked, gesturing for Onyon to speak his words. The sooner this was over the sooner he could get back to his planet and start the restoration process. Summary:

Cam, in such a situation, you might have expected the Saiyans to be suppressing. The guards all seem to be doing so, as does the woman at Onyon's right. Onyon, however... His power level hits your scouter, at a staggering 250,000. And he seems to be standing there at his ease. Onyon's smirk is still plastered on his face. His eyes, however, are hard and appraising. He stands in a posture you have come to be quite well acquainted with; he is not overly aggressive, but his hands are resting on his hips, in spots to easily defend himself, and his weight is shifted onto the balls of his feet to allow Onyon to move swiftly. It was the stance of a man ready to react to violence at the slightest sign of it... the stance of a warrior. "You're not quite worth the Queen of the Saiyan's time," Onyon remarked, voice deep and fool of snarky amusement, "Not yet. But you should feel honored; I don't get sent out for just any backwater rebellion where some uppity kid with fire in their belly thinks they can take on the entire Dominion and win. But," Onyon paused, considering his words, and when he spoke again, a hint of respect had crept into his tones, "I do have to admit that your tactics and execution have been good. Damn good. And you lot aren't lacking in strength. So... I'm here to talk.
Here's the deal, kid. I'm not a politician. I'm a soldier, and my duty is protecting and increasing the might and glory of the Dominion. What that means is, I'm not going to bullshit you. I'll put my cards on the table.
Radia sent me here, to deal with the task as I see fit. I could just use my fleet to pulverize Kabocha. I could have captured Kabochans from other planets, broken their minds and trained them as spies, and sent them to infiltrate or assassinate. I could have simply said fuck it and dropped a massive amount of Saiyans to scorch the ground and reinstall a Saiyan leader.
I have done none of these things, because, frankly... it's a waste of resources.
I love my work and I love my people but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot in going about what I do. Kabocha is one small part of our overall conflicts, and we've got greater concerns. So I'm looking for a way out of this without wasting further resources and lives. What would you say if I told you that I was willing to form an alliance with you?"Absolut Diplomacy: MbLJo23a1d20+1Cam Diplomacy: 1d20+3Meiku Diplomacy: 1d20+2Cam and Meiku, it's tough for you to get a read on Onyon. Absolut, something about his tone and body language strike you with the sudden thought; you realize that Onyon is being completely sincere in his offer. What do you all do?

Here he was, confirming exactly what Cam thought, "Onyon, you're a war hero to your people, and by all accounts an honorable man. I have no ill will towards your species, but you must understand your animus. The oppression my people have faced," he shook his head, "Are you familiar with the Kabochan legend about the tree of might on my planet?" Cam asked, "I wager not, you're a pragmatic man. But five hundred years ago a Saiyan planted that here, and it took demonic magic to stunt the tree enough to keep it from killing the planet. Five hundred years of suffering, of domination, of having every ounce of our resources drained," Cam's fists clenched tightly, energy crackling at his palms, "You think when the Dominion bites off more than it can chew it wouldn't pay for it? I have one of the largest armies in the galaxy at my beck and call and it's only getting larger, Onyon. Former Frieza force members still have mouths to feed," Cam threatened, "And the technology at my beck and call surpasses the tuffles that held your race at bay for so long, that is before you eventually killed them all." He glanced from Saiyan to Saiyan, his gaze meeting each of them with resentment and anger. Who would be the first to draw? Would they be intimidated as they felt Cam's power rise to it's normal apex, over one hundred and twenty thousand, not nearly as much as Onyon, but still not a comfortable number to deal with, and Cam had yet to tap into his newfound strength. No one knew about what he had become. He wondered what the media would call it? "I'm insulted you're here Onyon. You know how I've won every battle? You've underestimated me. You're whole race underestimated us, and now they're paying for it." He remarked, "Plus I've the Emperor Polaris at my back. Or did you not know that?" Cam asked, grinning now, "Tell me again why I should fear you at all, Onyon? Because it seems you're right, it's a waste you can't afford. The Dominion needs me, or it will be crushed by two Emperors. We both know that to be true. Even if you won here, your fleet would be destroyed. Also as I recall, Saiyans can't breathe in space," Cam then grinned, "Kabochan can't technically, but I can survive in a vacuum for... Oh say about a half an hour? Much longer than any Saiyan could." And perhaps that was the scariest part. All Cam needed to do was rip the ship they were on in half and they would die. His allies might as well though, but perhaps Onyon didn't know that, "So lets get that understanding down first and foremost. You need me more than I need you. In fact, I don't need you far as I can tell, which is why I'm sending you all packing." Crossing his arms Cam looked utterly confident, he wasn't bluffing. If it came down to it, Cam would play that card. "I'm sure the Dominion could make itself useful to Kabocha and the Crusher Corp, but explain to me how exactly would it be worth it for me to do that? The things you Saiyans seem to keep forgetting is you don't know what I have," finally talking terms Cam rattled off his demands, "Dominion ships will leave the solar system. If any planet in the system appeals to the Dominion for aid--the Ikondans, the Konatians, the Dominion keeps its hands out of it. This is my quadrant of the galaxy. Just a few planets that don't know it yet. Each and every planet here has been warred against by outsiders, this entire cluster needs unity to heal. It needs governance and it needs a vanguard. You back your army out of my space, then we can talk alliances. Trade. Food. Resources. Maybe even Crusher Corp troops to help the Dominion. Sounds like exactly the kind of situation that would breathe knew life into whichever side I decide to align myself with, doesn't it?" He tapped his nose, "You're spot on Onyon. You're a soldier, not a politician. Guess I'm both." Summary:

The weight of the room was tremendous, and as much as Meiku wished she could do as she instructed Absolut; there was a bit of apprehension in her own body language. The raven-haired woman tried not to stare at the group across from their own. She wasn’t keen on Saiyan interactions or if they would take her as a threat.
Onyon went on to speak more than she would imagine a man of his looks would. It seemed he thought he was in control of negotiations, but that would soon change.
Ego filled his voice, he was certainly filled to the brim with that classic Saiyan pride. Meiku couldn’t help but crack a grin as the commander went on to describe all of the different ways he could crumble Cam’s empire. The Earthling could only speculate if the threats were empty or not, either way--politics weren’t her thing either. Like Supreme Commander Onyon, she would rather get results instead of wasting time and resources
It was hard to stand there and stay quiet as the two main men in the room tossed around their dialogue. The mechanic began to wonder why Atreus had even invited her to such an affair? It didn’t make for much of a date or anything. She would have much rather went to a trip to Chuck-E-Cheese’s or something. At least there, a kid could be a kid.
The Earthling was a bit startled when Cam began to speak. He went on and on, emphasizing his points and his ‘advantages’ against the Saiyan Dominion if they were to be a threat and not retreat.
She felt a bit of embarrassment return as he continued emphasize threats filled twisted to sound like overly suggestive hints. Meiku idly wondered what was actually going on in the Saiyan’s heads at the speech.
They all looked so cut throat and dry, except Onyon--he seemed to be the most human of them all. Even painting himself as a man only doing his job.
“Damn.” Meiku mumbled aloud, the dumb look on her face waiting for the Saiyan to hurl a rebuttal. It felt like it was about to get hot and bothered in here, like a bad episode of Jerry Springer; she awaited fists to fly.

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil The negotiations began, resembling less of a debate of mutual respect for each other's capabilities and more of a bragging match, both Onyon and Cam doing their best to show each other and the people spectating that they were the ones who had the upper hand here. The Saiyans - that Kabocha was only a small part of the greater conflict and that the Dominion could easily wipe them out in more ways than one, so they should be glad that the Dominion is even considering to negotiate with them. Cam - that Kabocha is much more powerful than the Saiyans imagine, it has Emperor Polaris by its side, and that the Dominion should be glad that Kabocha is even considering negotiating with them, seeing that they are faltering in this war. Throughout the entire conversation, while still cowering behind Mr. Cam, Absolut could feel that his benefactor was making a mistake with his aggressive behavior. Burying a very real possibility for peace with the Saiyan Dominion. Because, from the way Onyon acted, from the way he spoke about his desire to seek an alliance between Kabocha and New Sadla, Absolut could feel an air of honesty. He wasn't trying to hide anything or trick the other side - after all, he himself said that he was not a politician, only a warrior, and thus he negotiates with the honesty of a warrior. And yet, Cam began his counter-offer before the young Frost Demon could even raise his voice and explain this to his benefactor, leaving Absolut biting the dust. There was a bit of an opening after the Kabochan concluded, however - the Frost Demon slightly tapped on Cam's elbow with a finger and quietly spoke: "Mr. Cam, I think you might be making a mistake... Onyon was clearly honest with his offer, I wouldn't be so aggressive with that in mind." (309 words)
