The Brothers in Arms Meet; In other words: "B.A.M.!"

His Majesty, King Gregorius, was waiting in the Headquarters of the Intelligence Ministry in an undisclosed location (though, some claim it is hidden beneath a very well-known tourist attraction).

He sat in a room which consisted of a long table, a projector (w/screen), and several pitchers of water (as well as several cups). The room had plenty of artificial lighting, but no natural light was available because there were no windows. The walls of the room blocked access to mobile and internet networks, and there were 12 seats, of which only only a quarter would be used.

Gregorius sat, waiting for his "brothers" to be escorted in by the Elitist Guards. Meanwhile, his mind wandered across the possible conclusions which could be produced from the meeting. He didn't really care for the details, so long as he could contain the three pronged pitchfork which threatened Gilead's world influence.

Adrik could see where this was going.

I feel like I'm in one of those crappy Gileadan dramas, he thought.

"I'm here, aren't I," he said, hoping to avoid sounding sappy and overdramatic.

“Indeed, you are, in spite of the skepticism I’m sure you harbor or harbored upon receiving the invitation.”

Gregorius took two sips of water before touching an implanted button on the table which activated the ceiling projector and brought down the screen. Suddenly, a map of the world was appeared. However, it was a gif file, showing the growth of the Dawinian Empire and the Austianese Kingdom over the few months, then, a chart was shown which tallied the death tolls of the conflicts.

Regaining everyone’s attention, Gregorius cleared his throat then smiled, “Cooperation among our countries, and not just our militaries, is key in containing these belligerent powers and restoring the previous borders as is the just thing to do. Would you all agree?”

He was most curious as to what his Verskanian “brother” would say about this, considering his influence in Rendaria and other lands which the SFV had placed a stake in in defiance of Dawinian and Austianese expansion.

"Of course." said the Emperor; "And we could capture, or 'liberate' a couple of their colonies along the way."

"If you mean 'liberate' as in 'free from their occupiers' then yes," Silvanus said icily, "But if you're thinking of adding them to your or anyone else's empire you're going to have to go without our support." He glared at the Emperor. "Congress may even decide to declare war on you. I doubt that's something you'd enjoy... or be able to withstand."

"Of course," Boris replied to Gregorious, "after all, people need to be free to determine their own destiny."

And if that destiny is with Verskana, he thought, all the better.

Then, as the Emperor and President bickered about Valkany's imperialism, he interjected, "Valkany's insatiable desire for territory is a stain on us all."

"It led to the Empire's collapse once before, did it not? So, why would you want it to happen again? Imperialism can never succeed in this world, where the desire for freedom and equality is so much louder."

"Valkany's Empire sure hasn't collapsed anytime in our history that I know of. I know three governor-generals who can prove that right now. And I'm pretty sure we could easily win a war with any nations so far away from us due to our naval strength. How could they reach Valkany without ships?" he said joking;

"And while we're on the subject of expansionism how is your own imperialism in New Vasconia, Rendaria and Saros working? In order to liberate these colonies we have to capture them first. Their future will be their own to decide, not colonial but not socialist either." said the Emperor glaring back at Boris;

Boris was taken aback by the Emperor's utter disrespect.

"How dare you call our allies 'colonies'," he proclaimed, "they aligned with us because they saw that as being the most beneficial, rather than the corrupt, decadent West!"

"And as for whether or not they'll be socialist, how about you allow them to decide for themselves! I know you bourgeoisie have never thought much of letting 'lesser peoples' make their own decisions, but you cannot stop progress. New Vasconia, Rendaria, Mirevea--all of them have chosen socialism over capitalism, because they recognise the harm it has done, and that it is on the way out."

"I didn't call your allies colonies, I was referring to those of Dawinia and Austiana. Please keep your calm, having outbursts and spewing pointless hate at each other will get us nowhere. New Vasconia, Rendaria and the like could classify more as dependencies but this is not our subject. The Austianese and Dawninan colonies" stressed the Emperor to avoid yet another confusion; "will be liberated and their peoples will decide their future for themselves. Neither of us however will impose our system on them. This is their choice to make. Now that this has been cleared out is everyone OK with the move our Gileadean Brother proposed?"

Boris glared at him.

"Next time, Your Majesty," he said, "I suggest you choose your words more carefully. Lest we find ourselves in an 'uncomfortable situation'."

With that, he returned to his seat and looked to the King, waiting for him to speak.

Silvanus rolled his eyes at the argument between the Emperor of Valkany and Boris. On one hand, the Emperor had been rather tactless. On the other, he agreed with him, to some extent at least. Verksana made "Allies" in a manner similar to colonies, and in many ways were about as hands-off as other countries were with their actual colonies (Which is to say, they weren't). For all intents and purposes Verksana's "Allies" were more like colonies than those of the Republic or Gilead.

He pushed his thoughts and worries aside and turned to the King, and waited for him to talk. If he knew Gregorius, he had a plan to get these people to work together. Silvanus would just have to wait.

Gregorius, even though he smiled, wanted to dismiss both of them from his presence, but he couldn't because he knew the importance of this unity in purpose and efforts. Plus, it's not as if he hadn't predicted such behavior, especially considering they were both vying for influence in Victorium.

With the click of a button, the projector screen showed a graph which depicted grotesque images of mutilated bodies in Melzae, then a number popped up, "300 Million."

Sighing, the King looked at his "brothers" and spoke to them again, trying to get them on the same track, "Due to the distractions of Victorium, we have been rendered at a loss in addressing the massive humanitarian issue in Melzae. Even with the new, less radical, rule of the Communists, there is still domestic terrorism and civil unrest which threatens to add to the quarter of lives already lost in this once great nation. This is why we must work together in putting an abrupt stop to what could develop into another Great War with even more losses than before. Not only is it a sad display of human barbarity, but we must have the time and capacity to focus on such pressing matters as we have in Melzae.

So, we must come to a resolve and put a rain-check on debating political differences for the greater of not just our nations and Victorium, but for Noverra. Surely, we can get on to actually making progress in trying to save the world from a long, senseless war?"

"Aye. Whatever we believe in, to that I believe, we can all agree. No matter our views it is our solemn duty as human beings to end the suffering of innocents and prevent more from coming to them. Only then can we claim to even be humans." said the Emperor;

Boris wasn't moved by the King's attempt to manipulate his emotions. He did, however, see an excellent opportunity presented by the suffering of the Melzaeans.

"Aye," he said, feigning concern, "it's about time we ended the pain brought on by the great cowards of the world, as they hide away from the world's problems and concern themselves only with their own lives."

"Yes, because destroying the lives of millions is 'concerning themselves with their own lives.'" Silvanus sighed internally. Trying to get Verksana to go against another communist power would be about as successful as trying to square a circle. If he wanted Verksana onboard with this idea, he should have lead off with the whole Victorum situation. At this point, his belief in the King's plan was turning more into hope that he had one.

"Before we can ever hope to make a difference in the mess that used to be Melzae, we must cooperate in returning Victorium's stability. Quite frankly, the only way to do this is to show the aggressors that their bites are far less impressive than their obnoxious, arduous barks. This would entail, as has been suggested, freeing their colonies, granting them independence again, and wearing down their armed forces as best as we can. Agreed?"

Looking at Silvanus' facial expressions, he saw the confidence fade away, which did nothing to build up his own confidence, but he was riding on the general consensus that peace in Victorium was central to world stability and prosperity.
