Dark Shine searched through all the firewalls till he saw that somepony planted a virus. He glared at it for a few seconds before spurting into life. Within a few minutes of him tapping away at the keys, inputting controls, anti-viruses and most importantly, rehacking his own system, any traces of the Virus left. The sensors went back on to find there was some activity going on a bit further out. Now... Who used my computer... And why would they plant a virus?
Steel was in the meeting room of the cyber-spire and was instructing the highly trained ambassadors. "ok, got that enter the shuttles at 1600 hours and that's approximately 10 minutes from now, remember permenant embassies lead to permeant peace". He then guided the ambassadors to the main spaceport. "seems like we have a new arrival, a brotherhood ambassador to be exact. Silver shard being as your our ambassador to them you may enter the brotherhoods shuttle and accompany them for the return trip". He turned round to face the brotherhoods ambassador "welcome, one of my faithful assistants will take you to embassy 21d in near the biggest shopping mall in this quadrant. The food court serves a wide range of food. Enjoy your stay". Turns back to his ambassadors "the shuttles are ready, now go". With that said each ambassador entered the shuttles heading for the other planets.
"The Brotherhood would like to build its own embassy." the diplomat said, "You know, familiarity and such."
"sure, there's a plot of land, also near the shopping mall as that seems to be the only plot of land left. This will probably help you alot". hands a digital touchscreen pad uploaded with a city map and a couple of fact books about the city and the cyber-shields. It also incorporated a video phone and connection to the Internet. "before you go, tell me your name, makes both our lives alot easier".
"Sir diplomat shuttles detected inbound," says one of the bridge crew. Rashall mulls this over for a little while wondering what to do, he knows that without full support from any one of the factions that had come with him would the diplomat's be accepted. "Hold them at Bastion, get the Inqusistion up their along with the mixed Adeptus Abarites," says Rashall, "And get me my personal shuttle," he adds. The orders are quickly given and the diplomat's shuttles are taken to the Black Stone Fortress known as Bastion.
'well, evening showers, I hope you enjoy your stay and I advise you take a bag of this, without bits how else are you going to buy food and water and once the other ambassadors arrive I shall arrange a meal at my favourite restaurant snow Mark co. So we can discuss the future then". Steel then headed off to do a bit of paper work and to be exact there was about 2 stacks.
The conclusion had been swift and Rashall was ultimatly grateful of it. The diplomats had been sent back home to tell their leaders that no forigen facilities would be built on or in orbit of Turith. Rashall along with the councel had decided that if having an embassy was completely nessecary then their home planets would have to permit for all three branches of the Inqusition to make their own fortress on their planets.
"Sorry, but Sanctuary cannot have a permanent embassy on it, but there is a diplomatic portion in the Brotherhood Tower that you can stay in." Midnight said over the comm unit. "Fine." the voice. "I shall activate the pilot beacon to where you can land." Midnight said and flipped on the switch to turn on the Diplomacy District of Brotherhood Tower.
Rashall stood in the main control room on Bastion, the black stone fortress had been reasebled after their long journey here. The fortress was not stationary it could move under it's own power via small thruster packs, thought very slowly. The council had gone back to ground happy that the diplomats had gone. Rashall though knew they wouldn't be pushed away for long.
After some tiring paperwork steel wasn't in the mood for bad news so that didn't help when the ambassassador for Rashall's came into his office. "shouldn't you be in Rash's planet". "sir, I would still be there but rash doesn't want any ambassadors on his planet,not even the brotherhood ambassador was allowed" "really, send both midnight and Rash a message about this situation then. Why not test out the hyperdrive email system".
Dark Shine looked at the shield level and saw they were running low, so sent out a call to inform the night staff to make sure to refill the Energy Cells. After that he looked through the files he had to sort out. Plans for the hay and stay hotel. Cancelled. Homes for the homeless. Verified. Go look for a meeting to find possible trades with other colonies. Pending. He looked back at the last one. It meant he was to go. They were not exactly a colony of politics so he put pending instead of verified. He chose not to instantly go Cancelled as trading could offer up some extra energy cells.
Firebreeze sat at his holo-station, which is a machine capable of projecting multiple holographic and interactive screen of data, in his home. He read through the list of current issue. "Dammit, really?!" He exclaimed, "The bloody shield generator in New Ponyville is facing issues again... A.I.A, send the issue to our engineers in New Ponyville." "Right away." Replied the Artificial Intelligence Assistant.
"You remember what to do OPIAT?" Midnight Sun asked the computer terminal in front of me. "Of course Midnight Sun. I help the Old Government of Equestria, I can run the day-to-day operations of the Brotherhood with ease." The A.I. responded, "Though to bad lost my original hull." "Yes, well I shall be leaving then." Midnight said before going out the door to enjoy some time off.
Rashall stood at the top of the Tower of Angels looking up to the stars. He had arrived a few hours ago night was yet to set, but those that had worked where already asleep it would take time to get used to the new day night cycle on Turith. Rashall smiled at least they had a home.
As Midnight wondered the streets of Brothearia, the name for the Capital Citadel, he couldn't help but feel how similar Sanctuary was to Equestria, similar climates, similar day lengths, similar perceptation patterns, everything was similar in some one. It was as if somepony up there literally copied and pasted Equestria onto this planet, but hey, all the less to get used to.
Firebreeze walked through Beta City, the capitol. He smiled at the ponies going about their lives just as they would in Equestria, which is what he was trying to do essentially, give these people a new Equestria. Although, the longer days and nights were odd for the citizens at first, they easily adapted to it. He eventually decided it was time to get back to work at home and began to head there.
Sanctuary was fast becoming a well structured planet, cities and towns spreading like wildfire across it's surface, the ponies of Equestria glad to finally have a new place to stay. Excited at the prospect of exploring their new home, they eagerly set off in many directions, placing down buildings wherever they could be sustained. Sojourner, however, was exploring for a different reason. He stood at the top of the mountain, the shuttle he had managed to procure sitting not too far away, nestled safely in a small cave. it was cold, and snow was falling gently around, the clouds blocking his view of the ground to the south. To the North, however, the vast ocean spread out endlessly, it's edges blurring where they met the horizon and turned into the sky above. Sojourner watched as his compass spun erratically, searching to point at the spot that was directly below it; the planets magnetic pole. "So this planet has a similar magnetic setup, then," Sojourner said to himself, quickly writing a few notes in his holographic datapad, the screens floating in front of him as he used his magic to input his findings. He was pleasantly surprised at the similarities between their old home and this new one. the only real difference seemed to be the landscape, the planet's two continent's massive in comparison to Equestria's series of smaller continents. Sojourner looked through his other reports from his crew, shivering slightly as a breeze shifted through, bringing with it the scent of sea salt and freedom. Rock Solid was still in the midst of determining the planet's age, the geologist still busily digging away at different mountains and looking for the patterns in the rocks. Tumble Weed was charting the different climates and ecosystems, and Sunbloom was cataloging the animal and plant species in those systems. Sojourner closed his datapad as Highlander pulled himself out of a snowbank, his cheeks flushed and his breath misty as he approached. "Having fun?" Sojourner inquired, his sarcasm carrying heavy tones of playfulness. Highlander grinned. "Come off it, Soul. I'm not just playing around in the snow, I promise!" Sojourner stared, a small smile working its way across his face. Highlander burst out in laughter. "Alright, maybe just a little bit." Sojourner shook his head in mock exasperation. "Whatever am i going to do with you, Highlander? next thing I know you'll be out there swimming through the ice water." "Who knows? Maybe I'll find some Merponies out there," Highlander replied. "I've heard they're supposed to be the prettiest thing's you'd ever lay eyes on." "Do you have the map?" Sojourner inquired. "Hmm? Oh, yes! I've been keeping up on my end of the job," Highlander said, his datapad quickly bringing up a detailed schematic of the area they were exploring. The Magnetic pole made it difficult for the ship scanners to get accurate layouts where they were, so manual mapping was the only way to really get a good feel for the land. Sojourner quickly surveyed his partner's work. "Good work, Highlander! This should bring our total world map to eighty percent completion!" Once everyone else's work was complete, Sojourner would be able to compile it all into a report and bring all the finding's to Midnight. "Let's get going. I like the cold, but this is a bit much," Sojourner said. Highlander nodded in reply, and the two boarded the shuttle. A quick burst of steam from the melting snow, and they were on their way back to Brothearia.
Steel was walking down towards the shopping mallto get sone new records for his record player an it seemed everyone seemed to have adjusted to the 10 hour day and 10 night. They also seemed to have adjusted to the sun and moon rising by themselves without the princesses. Walking back from the mall, he noticed the brotherhood embassy finally built. "hello, evening showers. How has your first week been here on pandarix".
