Solaxis smiles politely "true, my race considers it our sworn duty to oppose oppression and tyranny, no matter what form it takes ... " pausing momentarily for the last part to sink in " ... but altruism? you speak of my role as if it were a sacrifice, kesmin, while I regard it to be nothing less than an honor to fight alongside such dignified, distinguished and noble beings"

"I'm more fascinated by how you came to be what you are," Kiadan says turning on the counter to regard Rire. "Were you born as such or did your body undergo outside mutation?"

Balus was a little put off by all attention, but he acknowledged the photogaphers with a light smile and a wave to the cameras as he passed. * At least they aren't hounding me with questions * he thought as he passed, heading inside.

(Kiadan and Jason)
Spike-Tail gives you a curious look. "Tarlok Virus, same as most other Bio-Freaks. Been a while though. Since I was a kid at least."
(Solaxis)
The Kesmin smiles. "With such eloquence, I can almost see why you were chosen over a native son of Seeron." This comment elicits a chuckle from the crowd; enthusiastic among Scythe's entourage; significantly less so from the rest. "But, do excuse me Ambassador; there is someone else whom I promised myself to meet." He bows slightly and takes his leave.
(Balus)
You enter the hall itself, and are greeted enthusiastically. Many dignitaries, and even a few officers, ask to shake your hand. They all part with Scythe walks up to you. "Ah, there he is; the face of our new Seeronian Space Forces! An honor to meet you, young man." as he extends his hand.

"why thank you, kesmin. high praise indeed from someone of your station" Solaxis smiles and bows graciously again as the kesmin excuses himself "of course, kesmin. do take care of yourself"
Solaxis looks at Von to gauge her reaction "would you care for a drink now?" then notices who it was that the kesmin wanted to meet "looks like the kesmin has our young friend cornered. keep an eye out. we might need to rescue him"

Balus recognized Scythe from on television, and swallowed as he shook the man's hand. " An honour to meet you as well, sir." He managed, trying not to seem nervous. " But I'm not the face of anything, just a lowly grunt."

Kiadan's eyes look at spike tail with a new interest. "Given no choice," she mumbles. "Perhaps someone could take a look at this virus and neutralize it, catalog it... perhaps even mutate it to heal those infected by it."

(Solaxis)
"After that, yeah, I'll need a drink, and maybe get one for the big guy. He might need it after listening to the Kesmin" Von nods.
(Kiadan and Jason)
Spike Tail smirks. "A cure? Why would I want that? I like what I am. Powers, looks, and all. Now, some people I could understand wanting to be normal. But me?" he simply shrugs. "I wouldn't want it any other way."
(Balus)
"Don't be so modest young man. I see your face so frequently across screens and posters I am beginning to think you are running for office!" Everyone has a good chuckle with that one. "And well you should be proud; you are a shining example of all that will carry us to the stars, and victory!" A group of Epoch Riders and other Calbrans shout out "VICTORY" as if in chorus.

Solaxis looks at Von "I'm starting to wish I could join you. be right back" as he heads for the bar ordering a couple "primers". then delivers one to Von and the second to Balus with Von in tow "to victory, indeed"

Balus couldn't help blushing, and was thankful for the drink from Solaxis. " Thank you, Ambassador." He sipped as he faced the Kesmin," Sir, I'm just a soldier who does what he's told. The media is just making a big deal because, well, I don't look like any other Bio-Freaks. I'm not a leader of anything."

"Not a cure for you," she muses. "A potentially virulent and transgenic virus and you don't wander why and how it chooses its victims?" Kiadan asks clucking her tongue. "Laymen," she mutters. "Never understand how the universe really works."

(Balus and Solaxis)
The Kesmin gets a thoughtful look. "Perhaps, but it is good of you to be so modest, young man. In time, you should consider your future; I'm sure it can be a very bright one. Ambassador." Scythe bows slightly and leaves you at the bar, where you see Kiadan talking with a spike-tailed Biofreak in a Police uniform.
(Kiada)
Spike-Tail nearly shrugs. "Don't need to know how some things work, just so long as they do."

Solaxis gives Balus and Von a knowing look as the kesmin departs, then notices the dragonling "ah, it's our science specialist, Dr. Kiadan, isn't it? I don't believe we've been properly introduced. I'm Ambassador Solaxis, my attache Von, and this strapping lad is Specialist Balus"

Balus breathed a sigh of relief when Scythe left him, his nerves fading. He downed his drink and then looked at Solaxis and Von," Thanks for the save. He creeps me out."

a slight knowing grin that creeps along the edge of Solaxis' mouth is the only outward tell-tale reaction Solaxis has to Balus' comment, but is barely noticeable as he shoots Von a side-glance
