Teemas nodded.
"And this insurrection, does it still play an important role in the Yapatha and Drakari societies?"

Himiko’s Revenge
Port side Hangar
Fleet Commander Kensei yawned as his troops moved to prep the hangar for his extraterrestrial guest. Kensei donned full combat armor like the troops in the hangar, hiding his features and making him indistinguishable from the other soldiers. His AI companion Himiko was busy with the final preparations to comply with his orders.
Himiko was busy working on the final preparations for undocking the Star Lambda after simultaneously altering the gravity and atmosphere of the Assault Carrier in preparation for the Treecu diplomats. She had the metallic waste diverted to chute 03 and unlocked the Star Lambda’s hangar clamps. The gravity was reduced to 1G in oxygen-based corridors, and 2G in carbon dioxide corridors respectively. All that was left was for Himiko was switching off the passive jammers and activating the experimental quantum jamming and shockwave emission (QJSE) device when the Treecu delegates arrived. However, noting its unreliable nature Himiko decided to fire off an external burst from the QJSE when nothing happened. Puzzled she attempted to fire off another pulse which failed to materialize.
“Damned expensive piece of junk.” Himiko muttered as she closed the program and opened a window in the Communications office.
“Oi. Lieutenant! I need a secure line to the Interdictor Lockheart.”
“Hello Computer, this is Lt. Dezrek Magan. What can I do for you?” replied Magan ignoring Himiko’s initial request.
“Ahem, like I said, would you kindly establish a secure channel to the Interdictor Lockheart? I would like them to fire off a low energy shockwave at us so we can use it as an external excuse to deploy the Star Lambda discreetly since the QJSE isn’t working again.” She asked politely this time.
“Understood computer, establishing a secure link to the Lockheart. You’re free to contact Captain Xechaltork from any CPU port.” Replied Lt. Magan
“Thanks lieutenant, and its not computer, its Self-Aware Artificial Intelligence (SAI) or Himiko!” responded Himiko before she closed the window.
She then opened another window this time peering through the display of the Interdictor Lockheart.“Captain Xechaltork.” She said saluting through the monitor.
“At ease SAI of HIMIKO’S REVENGE” responded the Captain
“Sir it’s Himiko. There’s an issue with my QJSE so I need to ask a favor of you.”
“Hou, not an order?” enquired the Captain.
“Sir you know full well unless explicitly ordered by a Rear Admiral or higher Fleet crews have the right to refuse a ship’s AI or SAI’s orders that are not expressly authorized by the Fleet Commander.”
“Ahaha, that was right, my apologize SAI Himiko-. So, how can I help our Commander?”
“I’d like you to fire off a low energy pulse and deploy gravity wells.”
“Should we jam their comms?”
“No sir, we want to give them the impression that our fleet is inferior and surprise them if things go south. Cutting off their escape by deploying my complement discreetly is of the utmost importance.”
“Very well, I’ll deploy the gravity wells now and fire off a burst from our Pulse emitter at low power. Should I also wait for the timing of the pulse”
“Yes sir, the Commander wanted the Star Lambda to drift towards the Treecu Frigate. The remaining 9 will occur at random, and fire it off at a higher output if the Treecu vessel gets too close.”
“Very well. I’ll see what I can do.”
She then overheard one the lockheart’s crew members shout out, “Gravity wells deploying in 3..2…1… Deployed” and the subtle but audible hum from the console she was displayed on.
“Thank you captain.”
“Oh don’t thank me. Truth be told I was bored out of my wits, and the crew and I were worried we would just be a decorative role. We’ll be playing our role diligently over, and out” said the Captain as he ended the transmission.
Shortly before the Treecu vessel moved into the Hangar, Kensei felt the ship lurch, followed by an audible explosion as the metallic waste and Frigate Star Lambda were dispatched off the ship. The Frigate slowly drifted towards the Treecu vessel while camouflaged by the metallic waste.

"Due to the global scale of the conflict, my people sent one of our Legions to assist in the war effort. The insurrectionists, or the Chosen as they called themselves, were defeated after a few Standard Years of combat, but not before they attempted the unthinkable..."
The Emperor sighed as he looked at Teemas. "Because they were on the brink of defeat, their leaders had concluded that they as well were weak and impure, unworthy of joining the 'Mighty Beings from Afar'. They attempted to set off lethal nerve toxins in major population centers in an effort to purge the cosmos of what they viewed as their race's impurity. Most of them were found and disarmed, save for the one in the planetary capital. King Ajakis, seeing no other option, took the bomb it was contained in aboard a shuttle and raced into orbit just as it detonated."
"His sacrifice saved countless millions. To honor his actions and his dream of bringing Yapath to the stars, the Yapatha government requested that their world become an autonomous Protectorate."

Sector 13
Frigate Taam Yim
"Commander, Computer has engaged the active energy shield. Authorise autonomous fire?" A young lieutenant reported from his station.
The view screen on the bridge displayed the myriad of objects suddenly coming off the Himiko's Revenge.
"Do we have incoming, lieutenant?" the acting captain asked calmly.
"Negative... Computer just classified it as debris. Floating slowly."
"Understood. Maintain monitoring mode and the shields. Helm, double our distance to the Venterran ships. Science, initiate quantum scan."
The Commander watched the bridge officers carry out his orders. A quantum scan was different means of determening the composition of one or several objects, and the intention was to reveal as much as possible of the alien ships. A status bar appeared on the view screen. It indicated the scan would be finished in 1350 Candact rotations*. He started smiling as he got an idea.
"Com! Ask the Bragging Steak if they require assistance. We can offer towing."
* A Candact rotation (CR) was the rotational period of the pulsar named Candact in the centre of the Treecuu Star Empire. 1 CR ≈ 1.6 s.

Sector 13
Himiko's Revenge
There was a slight hiss as the landing gear of Nuum deployed, and the shuttle came to rest on the hangar floor. Seemingly from nowhere a door frame appeared on the hull and a door opened. There stood Tiro. Her long black robe fluttered as the air pressure was equalised. Her eyes carefully scanned the hangar.

"Truly a brave deed worthy recognition." Teemas added.
The story reminded her of the recent events on Yim III. She wondered how the individual behind the anti-matter explosion that destroyed a whole continent and took out the Treecuu marines was perceived among her people. According to the latest reports, she had died while setting the explosion off. At least that was the official Aryyt't report. It had apparently been an unsanctioned act of a radical and psychologically ill scientist.
Teemas continued.
"The Yapatha, did they eventually achieve interstellar flight on their own, or did they receive help?"

"A bit of both, if I recall my history lessons correctly," Julianus replied as he sat forward.
"Over the next century following Ajakis' sacrifice, we provided up to date medical technology and economic assistance to help get their homeworld's markets stabilized, but they created what I suppose could be called a crude wormhole drive. Allowed them to expand to a small handful of systems, though it was slow. Inefficient."

"Aye. Though their government is heavily debating whether to apply for independence, continuing our relations as is, or full integration."

"In all honesty, Teemas, I am content with what ever it is the Yapatha choose. If they ask us to withdraw, we shall withdraw. If they vote to join the Imperium as a member world, so be it."
