[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 2181650, member: 19130"] After only a moment's silence Melavarn perks up again, seemingly agitated at the sudden aggressiveness of the githyanki warriors. "[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]Erm, well, I was told only that you expected us to kill some Power or other, I forget who. This business about wanting a hunk of this lovely former plane is new to me, you know. I suppose maybe we could work something out. Still, it does seem terribly rude of Vlakeith to... Well, no matter[/COLOR]." Melavarn smiles ingratiatingly. "[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]What are we looking at for the division? You help me, and I turn over, oh, I don't know, 20 percent of the protomatter? That seems eminently reasonable, I think. I'd hate for us to get into a scrape so soon after meeting, especially since I have a pretty good idea as to how it would turn out[/COLOR]." Reaching out to Su'ryuu, Sigrun, and the newcomers, [I]Akumunaga[/I] apprises them of the situation. [I][COLOR=PaleTurquoise]They are becoming hostile. Prepare to annihilate them.

So.
