''"No, I assure you that the food provided by my serfs is not edible at all to your people." Captain Darren watched the Water Caste Diplomat from across the galley of his cruiser. Both the Elegant Relictor, and the Korst'la Demlok had been docked to each other, and the diplomats from both parties gathered in Darren's sumptuous feasting hall. Mead and various delicacies from Aprior had been placed on one end of the table, while plates and mugs of Ambrosia; cleverly disguised to more closely resemble the human food across, was placed near Darren. "Your people will get a shipment of power cores from Aprior's manufactorums."''

''The diplomat looked to either side of her seatings, where she had a Fire Warrior readied, and a Ranghon woman with a bowcaster grafted onto her arms. "And these cores, you assure me that they're of the finest quality available from your people? Are they aboard this ship?"''

''Darren nodded in assertion to his counterpart, "Yes, you may have them delivered aboard your ship as soon as I have a formal agreement of your side of the bargain. I wish to have one of your tigershark carriers in orbit of Aprior Primus for the next six Terran months. And of course this deal is concurrent, if you wish I will keep supplying more fusion cores to fulfill this contract further."''

''She sighed, stirring a goblet of wine with a slender finger. "Good, now what's to stop me from simply taking what I want and leaving?" As the Water Caste diplomat sat up, the ranghon bodyguard raised her bowcaster at Darren. To her surprise the Captain swept the space between them with a sword that was aa handsome as he was, with a power field shimmering over obsidian scales and teeth. As one, ten figures in terminator armor stepped out from various alcoves, and raised stormbolters straight to the diplomats. Their cloaking fields disengaged immediately.''

''Darren planted his paragon blade into the sheet metal at his feet. "Take a look through my eyes, Aun'iel. The Great Devourer comes for your world, and Aprior is one of the many systems between Behemoth, and your people. If you do choose to station a Tigershark Carrier in Aprior, we can put it to great use with our fleets to stave off the fleets. I think you'll find these terms very agreeable..."''

Captain Darren is unused to the enemy dropping negotiations suddenly, and starting unnecessary hostilities at the same time they drop all pretense of peace talks. However this does not mean he's not well prepared for such unusual situations. Unusual, it is, because being the premier diplomat for the Knights Inductor Darren is known for being able to quell rebellion and stave off war with a few choice sentences delivered at the right time to the right people. For every battle he is forced to fight there is said to be two dozen avoided in the first place. Even as he makes war he continues to negotiate with the enemy terms of surrender as the Knights go about their duty. Against foes that are classified "no holds barred", Darren is more than willing to do his part to end the conflict in a timely and cost-efficient manner, stirring the normally calm fighting spirit in even the most dour Knight with his impassioned and stirring rhetoric.</div>
