Combining the Agori for 'Tower' and the Matoran for 'Law' and 'Wisdom', this is Atero Nui's centre of government.
The building is sixteen-sided, each side aligned with one of the surrounding Metru. In each one rests a vast panel, decorated in the colours and with patterns reminiscent of the Element of the Metru that it faces. Inside this section is to be hosted the Assembly of the Great Spirit. At the top of the tower the sixteen sides give way to a silver-coloured, shallow, slowly circling dome, the home of the Conclave of Elders, with the words ‘United in Duty and Destiny’ in the Matoran and Agori scripts written along the side. The symbol of the Three Virtues is emblazoned on the dome’s top, visible from the sky.
Rogue RMS trucks and tanks drive up to the building and take a defensive position around it. The commanding officer stands atop the central tank and raises his Iron Launcher.
"Today, the Makuta will fall! As proof of this, we ask you, the people of Atero, to take up arms and join us in their destruction!"

"What kind of idiots do we look like? We're not fighting the Makuta! We just barely got peace out of them! Get out of here!"
Dreya throws a rock at one agent, skewing his mask and removing his hat.

"Exactly as I foresaw, people! Even the Makuta are here to make us fight the Makuta! It's about time we used our own army!"

Inharax teleports here and rushes up the steps to the tower's door. I must speak with the Assembly...
The rogue agents hear the sound of teleportation and turn to see Inharax. They open fire immediately.
Inharax's wings are all that saves him from death, and he whirls around, still shielding himself with his wings. "YOU?!" With his Power Lance, he makes short work of the entire rogue force.
"People of Atero Nui! I have no quarrel with this city! I come with peaceful intent to warn of a greater conflict!"

"Meh, conflict schmonflict," answers a passing Fe-Matoran. "The Mangai - oh, and all those other Toa, and the Glatorian too - they'll keep us safe." Everyone else in the area stares at that Fe-Matoran in horror.

"This isn't a Rahi attack, Matoran. I just warn your city - stay neutral. Neither side wants the innocents of Atero involved."
Inharax teleports away, seeing that he is getting nowhere.

Gracchus rises. "Neutrality? Since when have the Makuta ever decided another side should be neutral? There is more to this than we know."

"Gracious is correct." A sister of the skrall walks the streets to where they are gathered. "I work for the Order of Mata-Nui, and intend to seek Atero's wisdom in our war." They begin to hear voices in their heads. 'Gahlox believes that the Order has fallen to Chaos. Mata-Nui would have never wanted an unnecessary war to break the peace between former rivals, and yet that is what has happened. With the great spirits death we have served Garadur, a makuta whose moral compass is not aligned with Mata-Nui's. He acts through spite and vengeance, which brought us to this war. I call for your help, for his loyalists outnumber us seven to one.'

"Gracious is correct." A sister of the skrall enters Turin Vahki Rua from the Ce-Metru region. "I work for the Order of Mata-Nui, and intend to seek Atero's wisdom in our war." The gathering hears voices in their heads. 'Gahlox believes that the Order has fallen to Chaos.

The Skrall finds that she has entered an empty room, since there is currently no government.

OOC: I was referring to the matoran there, including Fixer. There may not be a government, but the Order doesn't know that yet, so the skrall assumed that the assembly was the government?

OOC: There aren't actually any Matoran in there; those talking here are standing outside the building.

"If the leader of the Order is such a jerk why would he help us out when the Brotherhood attacked?" One of the Nyrah exclaims. (This nyrah would be recognized as one of the four that helped in the attacks on Atero.)

'You misunderstand me, Garadur is a friend of Gahlox, but he does not align with the Order's principles, that is, Mata-Nui's will. The av makuta seems to believe that if someone asks for war, it should be given, which is not always the best choice. None of us want him dead, he has proven himself a noble protector of the innocent. But he is unfit for rule, for his prejudice gains the Brotherhood has turned peace into darkness'

Fixer steps up, "If I remember right, peace with the Brotherhood is like peace with a Doom Viper. You never know when it will strike."
