USH'S ORIGINAL TRILOGY GAME EPISODE I 'LANZAR'- Imperial Thread

"No, my Lord..."

He is advancing on you now.

But that is what happened before, General. Afraid of upsetting General Lomax, you did not ask me for forces you thought were needed, and so your forces suffered, and now you come to me and suggest that the mistake was in some way mine.

There will be many casualties in this war, General. If this is how things proceed, then you will be among the first.

Coll stands his ground, knowing that backing away from Vader would show the fear that he is degrading Coll about.

"I promise, my Lord, that I will not disappoint you in the battle to come. I am ordering the ground forces to move as soon as Commissar Esgabath is out of the City. I will crush any..."

(waits for Vader to cut him off)

Vader's advance ends with his arm outstretched and his pointed finger milimetres from the top of your head (he's a tall guy is Vader).

Be sure that army gets there on time. If it is one hour late, the Osokans will be the last of your problems.

He turns around to face the jungle again.

(So...I can have air cover if I ask him for it?)

Judge that yourself.

(I'm going to say yes)

Coll salutes and walks back to his shuttle.

You should ask him. Fear will not help here.

(I will be offline next two days, unless my addiction to Internet wins with my real life sense of duty).

(Well, he said that earlier I could have just asked, I'm assuming that it will be allowed)

If you don`t ask, it means you have angered him and accomplished nothing, Coil

Commisar will join Galahad and Trebeis then. Can I make sure if any Lodge Masters are in the main Lodge?

Actually, shouldn`t Senators cooperate with the representant of Emperor instead of treating him like enemy? Andran will be partially responsible for the entire fiasco because he did not take Emperor`s opinion into account. Isn`t it like kind of like USA Senate Comission ignoring the President and his men?

Yes. But that can be done and is often done.

What if a vote is taken on the issue and the Emperor loses? Andran represents a huge voting block that will just vote with him and can influence many more.

The Emperor can override it, but then more people start saying "The Rebels have a point..."

The Emperor would much rather play it smart until the day he can do away with the Senate for good.

You'll have to head up to check that.

Commision is stil proceeding? Who else is participating besides Drakkon and Senators?

You aren't sure, but heading up means encountering Galahad.

I will speak with him then.

Okidokey!

Cannot I delay the negotiations by demanding more input from the Lodgemasters? I remember that Drakkon wouldn`t allow me to meet them, so I could try from this angle. Cannot I find any legal excuse to participate in the final part of negotiations as executive representative?

Lyle will look at the box for a moment, and, assuming he still has no clue what it is, will say,
"Interesting. What, exactly, is it?"

And definately the subject of taxes should be taken into account in the Peace Treaty. It was the main reason that war started, so she shouldn`t we find a compromise to satisfy Lodge Captains and normal Hunters. How about not allowing further taxing on the hunting, or setting the maximum on it?

Easy one to field, that. Hunting proceeds were NEVER taxed. In fact, tax only rather nominally existed on Lanzar in earlier days.

For sure, there is no hunting tax now.

The only way for you to delay the negotiations politically is to change the views of those within them.

Problem is, though, delaying the negotiations is no good to you. You need them to fail. Whilst they go on, Andran is still here.

"Open! Open!"

Lyle hesitates, then opens the box.
