And just like that, you're here. Within the first of the Hazaar systems- the Baalathi are here as well, naturally very propagated in any system containing a gas giant. They still do not appear to have made any significant scientific progress, despite this system having been colonized and the Baalathi here ingesting a different gas composition; you think this would change their behavior...
“Master.”
It's Bluey. He's on this journey too, naturally. Once the Reconquistia is complete, you intend to leave him in charge of the vassalized Hazaar state. The details will have to be worked out- if any other major powers have claimed this space, or if there are even any Hazaar left to rule..
“I know that, because of my origin and being, I am barely suitable to be along with this journey with you.”
<span class="mu-b">”Ah, don't speak about yourself in that way, old friend. You are one of the Hegemony's greatest assets. Eoba II saw that in you.”</span>
“Thank you, your Majesty. But still, I may request something that will overstep my boundaries, even as your overseer...”
You listen closely.
“I am but 10% Jaxtian. Which means, to me, I am only 10% victim to the Baalathi. I am 90% the perpetrator, much to my eternal shame. But for the longest time, I have wanted to set my people on the right course. The Hazaar, as duitiful, rightful, good little bugs of the Jaxtian species...”
<span class="mu-b">”Spit it out, Bluey.”</span>
The way he is acting is strange. Like he's been rehersing this, or is getting in some strange way emotional; it's hard to read what he's feeling or thinking on his unusual alien face. You don't even like thinking of him that way- after all, he was around and helping run the Hegemony before you were even born. You don't even want to think of him as a 'xeno'.
“Alright- here goes. My Royal Majesty, my Supreme Ruler- Venerated Cijan Anak... Will you allow me the unprecedented honor of ordering the first attack against the Baalathi invaders? I know, it is far above my station, and I fully accept any punishment you deem fit for asking for such an honor...”
>Allow this
>Deny him (gently)
