Rami's Sovereign Dialogue Example

With your support, Bi Shana Yent's rebellion was a success. The Chiditian people have formed a new republic to govern Vassire, promising full military and logistical aid in your expedition. Congratulations, both Vassire and Byrus are under your influence as Sovereign of Richtka. You are one step closer to finding a cure for the Rami disease and energy crisis. Your father would be proud. You enter your Captain's quarters in hope of some much needed rest. Just as you lay down on your bed, your room's buzzer rings. Someone is at the door. [[Who is it?|whodoor]] [[Can this wait until tomorrow?|tomorrow]]

"Soveriegn, it's Officer Krauss. There is something you need to know." [[I need to sleep, Krauss. Come by first thing Tomorrow.|wakeup]] [[Okay, just give me a minute|answer]]

"Very well, Sovereign. I will return first thing Tomorrow." You yawn and doze off into much earned sleep. [[Wake up.|wakeup]]

An alarm resonates throughout the ship, waking you up with little sleep. Scanners have picked up a dreadnaught size unknown craft which quickly comes out of hyperspace and grabs the Expedition Carrier ship in a tractor beam, sucking it into a dock within its own ship. Before anyone can begin to speculate who these hostiles are, a drone cuts a hole straight through your ship’s hull to reach you. The drone has a large screen on it, where a woman of an unknown species smiles at you in real time. "I'm assuming you are the Captain of this vessel? Which by the way, not a bad design. I thought it was going to be much more primitive." [[Uh, how can you speak our language?|language]] [[(on radio)General, target the dreadnaught!|try]] [[Who are you?|whonnalenja]]

You open the door to the unusally concerned face of Officer Krauss. "New report from Byrus. Our entire scouting party was wiped out. Except for one man- A Shitali. He's wounded but he's going to make it." [[What the hell could have hit them?|howdead]] [[I'm going to visit him in the med bay. I want to talk to him myself.|medbay]]

"Please, we've been listening in on you ever since your ship entered our system. I am Nalenja of the free Nimottan people. Now if you would please follow my drone, I would like you to have dinner with me." [[Follow her drone.|followdrone]] [[Fuck off!|fuckoff]]

The woman on screen laughs. "It's clear to me you have no chivalry." Your ships is destroyed in under a minute. GAME OVER.

"I am Nalenja of the free Nimottan people. If you would follow my drone, I would like to have dinner with you tonight." [[Follow her drone.|followdrone]] [[Fuck off!|fuckoff]]

"It's clear to me that you would be more trouble than help." The drone shoots you in the face. GAME OVER.

You follow the drone onto the Nimottan ship. It takes you into an extravagent dining room where Nalenja waits at the end of table, looking as extravagent as the room itself. Two other Nimottans sit beside her. "Thank you for cooperating. Most don't. So who is it exactly that I will be dining with this evening?" [[Please save me the pleasantries. Just tell me why I'm here.|nobs]] [[I am Sovereign of the planet Pensia and leader of this expedition.|play]]

"Very well." Nalenja stands up, pacing the room as she monologues. "My people once thought we were alone in the universe, but as you know, we were wrong. We were visited and "educated" by a species that relied on the Rami element even more so than your people do. Forunatley, my world never had a natural trace of that poison. But we were still a proud and prosperous people." [[Please, go on.|goon]] [[What happened to them? The ones who "educated" you.|wherearethey]]

(set: $hasmetkids = true) "Sovereign...I like it. I don't think I've heard people call themselves that one before. Please, meet my children. This is Veetor, my son. And Kuja, my daughter. It's think it's good for them to watch me work. Anyway, I want to apoligize for killing your squad back there on Byrus. Even a good soldier can react irrationally at times, I suppose." [[Thank you. I accept your apology.|accept]] [[Could you just get to the point already?|nobs]]

"I think you and I are going to make great friends. But I want to be entirely upfront with you about my intentions here in this system." Nalenja stands up, pacing the room as she monologues. "My people once thought we were alone in the universe, but as you know, we were wrong. We were visited and "educated" by a species that relied on the Rami element even more so than your people do. Forunatley, my world never had a natural trace of that poison. But we were still a proud and prosperous people." [[Please, go on.|goon]] [[What happened to them? The ones who "educated" you.|wherearethey]]

"As soon as those vermin brought it planetside, we were doomed to collapse. We began to rely on it too. For everything-power, weapons, transportation. It got us sick. The Rami disease caused a genocidal black plague that killed off half of our families in one year alone." [[Pensia, my home, it will share the same fate if I don't return with a cure soon.|heroffer]] [[I think I know why you're here now.|heroffer]]

"Hahahaha, don't worry. I didn't kill all of them. The Nuhams live happily under our rule. Admist all of their chaos and destruction, my scientists were actually able to synthesize a cure for the disease. Not only did we discover a cure, but a cheaper, death and destruction free source of energy to suit that high quality of life. Pretty great, right? And thats why we're here, Sovereign. That's why you're here, is it not? The Rami element needs to be exstinguished. That is what we do. We, liberate worlds. We owe it to the children on them to do so. Even when they're parents don't understand." [[What exactly are you getting at here, Nalenja?|heroffer]] [[You're a mass murderer. Let me off of your ship now!|nooffer]]

"Join me. Together, our forces will liberate the people of Byrus and Vassire and usher in a new age of growth free from the Rami parasite. In exchange, your people will recieve the cure for the disease. I will have my scientists teach yours about our energy alternative as well. They are quite passionate about it. I trust you'll make the right decision, Sovereign. But I need to make this very clear, you can never return to your home planet again. Never! We don't need more Rami spreading across this system. Your people's fate is in your hands, Soveriegn. Just know that either way you choose, the people of this system will be liberated regardless. [[I will happily join you, Nalenja. Thank you.|allynalenja]] [[How about this, my expedition will stop using Rami based technology if you agree to travel back to Pensia with us. Help administer the cure and alternative energy source on my homeworld. Help us, and we'll help you. |prosposal]] [[My people would never stand for this. We will never be allies.|rejectnalenja]]

"I don't know, Sovereign. Our initial scans showed no sign of life intelligent enough to do something like this. You have to see for yourself. Please, if you'll follow me to the medical bay? [[Let's go.|medbay]] [[Not tonight. Let the poor soldier rest. I'll visit first thing Tomorrow.|wakeup]]

You enter the med bay to find the lone survivor being treated for strange looking projectile wounds by Dr. Khant. He dosen't look good. The doctor apporoaches you. "Sovereign, I'm glad you're here. He just woke up a few minutes ago." [[What's the diagnoses, Dr. Khant?|askdoc]] [[I need to talk to him now.|talksurvivor]]

"He has some mild head trauma. It will heal, but he won't be deploying again any time soon." The doctor brings you to a table to examine pictures and x-rays of the Shitali's leg wound. "As you can see, the projectile wound is a very...strange one. A clean entry and exit. Never seen anything like it before. [[Did you find any traces of Rami in his leg?|norami]] [[They were scouting a Rami refinery, right?|norami]]

The soldier aches with anxious pain as he sees you approach him. "Sovereign, my squad...they're all dead." You notice the gaping hole a projectile left in his leg. [[How are you feeling, soldier?|howfeeling]] [[Mission report, Corporal.|howfeeling]]

The doctor shakes his head, then looks up at you with Eureuka in his eyes. "Sovereign...it might be possible we're dealing with a very advanced species here. With technology we don't understand. If they don't need Rami to power their weapons, I could only imagine what else they're capable of." [[Office Krauss, ready the war room. I want all my advisors in there by the hour. They need to know what's going on.|videopub]] [[Krauss, Doctor, Corporal, keep all this between us for now. Morale is low enough as it is, we don't need to start scaring people just yet.|videopri]]

"Sovereign, my COUGH COUGH COUGH." The soldier coughs some blood onto the floor. "My helmet cam..." You notice his cracked helmet layed out beside his armor. "I was recording when they...I got everything." Dr. Khant comes over to the Corporal's temperature. "I'm okay, doc. Really. I thought getting shot would hurt more. They say it's suppose to burn like a bitch." The doctor changes the bandages around his swollen head. "You got lucky, kid." In fact, the bullet left no trace of Rami in you at all...wait." [[What is it, doctor?|norami]] [[I have a feeling it wasn't the natives that attacked your squad.|norami]]

You and your advisors watch the video footage of the alien attack from the Shitali Corporal's helmet: the footage shows your foot soldiers carefully approaching a large alien facility. It looks to be a Rami refinery. You watch as the mysterious aliens at the facility begin to set the Rami on fire. They quickly spot your troops and begin to attack them in overwhelming force. The whole room sits there stunned awaiting your next words. [[I'm just as much in the dark as you are. Right now, all we seem to know is that they don't rely on Rami to power their weapons or tech. If it's true, then we could be dealing we a type three threat.|alarms]] [[You trusted me to get you here. Now, I need to know that all of you will help me take down whoever the hell these asshole are!|alarms]]

You sit down in your private quarters to watch the video footage of the alien attack from the Shitali Corporal's helmet: the footage shows your foot soldiers carefully approaching a large alien facility. It looks to be a Rami refinery. You watch as the mysterious aliens at the facility begin to set the Rami on fire. They quickly spot your troops and begin to attack them in overwhelming force. Before you have time to think, the ships alarm is raised. Scanners have picked up a dreadnaught size unknown craft which quickly comes out of hyperspace and grabs the Expedition Carrier ship in a tractor beam, sucking it into a dock within its own ship.

Nalenja snaps her fingers and the drone shoots you in the face. "Perhaps another member of their species will show some chivalry." END GAME

Nalenja smiles. "I knew I liked you, Sovereign of Pensia. If the rest of your people are of similar integrity the Nimottans will welcome them with open arms. May your planet's sacrifice live on in our collective history. GAME OVER

Nalenja shakes her head and sighs. "Didn't you hear me before? We cannot risk spreading more Rami into this system. Your little expedition has brought enough over as it is. You notice Nalenja's children talk amongst themselves. "My offer stands. I believe the word in your language is "ultimatum"? Did I pronounce that right? Now choose, Sovereign." [[I will happily join you, Nalenja. Thank you.|allynalenja]] [[My people would never stand for this. We will never be allies.|rejectnalenja]]

Nalenja's eye twitches a little at your answer. She adjusts herself and smiles back at you. "Very well, Sovereign. Please, finish your dinner. In the mean time, my engineers will repair your ship and allow you to leave unfollowed." [[You're just letting us go?|letgo]] [[Don't stand in my way, Nalenja.|standinway]]

"I am a woman of chivalry, Sovereign. Now if you would excuse me, I have a war to pepare for. My friend there will escort you back to your ship when you're ready. The drone comes up behind you in your seat. "I'm sure you have some things to discuss with your people as well." GAME OVER

Nalenja sighs. "I no longer have the patience for chivalry." She snaps her fingers. Her drone incapacitates you almost instantly. GAME OVER
