Maelstrom Vortex Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 "Ja, wir haben zu Essen und zu Trinken. Was für eine Art Fleisch würdest ihr bevorzugen?"The officer entered the truck and gestured to the dragons to do the same. Behind and in front of the vehicle, several soldiers entered armored jeeps, turning this into a military convoy. "Rooo-ast turkey! Yes that's it, we'll have some roast turkey or roast beef, if you have it.." Whew, saved from the Snarkian slip there weren't you Mr. Splicer.. you almost let them know what you were actually thinking. He licked his jaws again.. thank Bahamut for the cover of his mask.

I'm very bad at asking questions. IC: "Obwohl wir derzeit unsere Industrie erst aufbauen, wird sie am Ende sehr weitgefächert sein. Zum Beispiel errichten wir derzeit ein großes Chemiewerk in der Stadt Ludwigshafen. Unsere Kohle- und Eisenvorkommen sind immens und viele andere Industriezweige werden in den nächsten Monaten erschlossen werden." The BASF core plant. (OOC: biggest chemical plant in the world IRL.) While we currently are building our industry, it will be very diversified in the end. For example, we are currently building a big chemical plant in the city Ludwigshafen. Our coal- and iron-deposits are huge and many other branches of industry will be developed within the next months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynneth Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 OOC: One does not simply update an older post with a newer picture of his race. Unless he's me. IC: The Holy Empire is proud to announce that almost all projects to improve the infrastructure, get access to new resources, build new industries, et cetera, have been finished. Unemployment is merely 2%. The biggest industries are currently steel and the computer industry, though not by a wide margin.

Lynneth Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) The Storm Dragon representatives had over-slept due to jet-lag. They got up, had breakfast, then requested an audience with the ambassador of The Holy Empire to discuss some items, such as trade. The audience was quickly granted, and they would be meeting in a building near the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg gate), one of the former entrance gates into the capital Berlin, before it grew bigger than these old boundaries. It was the last of these gates standing. (OOC: Just assume all humans in the pic are Alekians.) Mandalore, having finally ended the bloodshed that lasted an entire generation and begun working toward consolodation, decided to send out a representative."We are sending a representative even as we speak." "Wir werden ihn erwarten." "We will await him." OOCEdit: Also, I'd like to know what you guys think of the new Alekian pic. The old one, for reference...

Not my fault...but now that I can actually SEE the details, yes, I like the new picture much better. More streamlined and more detailed. IC: It wasn't a large craft, as things go, but it was bigger than a fighter, big enough that the passenger could rest in comfort in her seat. They followed all instructions to land at the airport. When they finally taxied to a stop, the diplomat stood, thanking the pilot, who lowered the ramp. She wasn't sure what kind of creatures she would be seeing, but she thought she was prepared for anything, considering the various types Mandalore had seen recently.

IC: The pilot got up from the $@pit, after ensuring everything was shut down properly, and followed after the diplomat. He removed his helmet, but left the headband. By now, it was considered part of the uniform for all members of the Scout Corps. He caught up just as the diplomat put her first foot down on the ramp, and matched her slow but steady pace. he wore a neutral expression, while the diplomat wore a hint of a smile. He took in the uniforms, and nodded approvingly. And the beings wearing them weren't too outlandish, compared to some that their people had seen. They finally reached the bottom of the ramp, and approached the officer. Placing hands each inside the sleave of the other arm, the diplomat offered her people's customary bow, and addressed the being in German. "Greetings. I am the Mando'ade reepresentative Jorha." She did not introduce the pilot, as he preferred to remain anonymous. OOC: Got it. nice uniforms!

Subtleknifewielder Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Jorha smiled, and thanked the driver. The pilot hopped out quick as could be as soon as they came to a stop, again opening the door for his charge.

The officer did indeed notice this, but chose to not ask Jorha about it Instead, he would lead her and the pilot to a building to the right of the impressive gate. From there, he would bring them to the room where they would meet the representative, while being escorted by two soldiers.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 This particular Storm Dragon diplomatic group wasn't as upbeat as most. They arrived only 5 minutes ahead of schedule instead of 15.. despite sleeping in late. They sat down at the table. "We've come to discuss what resources we could potentially trade. Our nation is full of agricultural products, coal, timber, a very limited supply of petroleum products, quite a bit of natural gas reserves, and an abundance of hydroelectric power resources which could be harnessed to create batteries. The things we are interested in are metal resources, notably uranium, bauxite, nickel, and silver. We're also interested in stocking our vaults in gold to back our currency."
