"You are well versed in its systems? How it functions and what gives it its powers?"
"As well versed as I can be without Inharax's mechanical acumen."
"I have in my possession a diagram of an early Manas craft. While structurally useful, it does not describe the Xian based technologies that I am most concerned with. Are you capable of roughly recreating these energy systems?"

Umbrax examines it for a moment. "Not really. I bet Xia can though."

Charix's eyes grow dimmer.
"Xia? What relations do we have with Xia that you would mention them so casually?"

"'m not saying that, I'm saying that I bet I can get them to."
"...Yes. Proceed with this. It would be most beneficial. Be wary not to reveal my physical return. I cannot afford a war with them at this stage. And your Manas. It is manned by forces loyal to you I assume? We must consolidate our forces. I would instruct you to bring your craft to one of my strongholds."

"It's not _manned_, persay. I just have antidermis and a lot of Kraata in it. NOnetheless, where are your strongholds?"

"I have holdings in the Mountain Region, the Plains of Skakdi, Dead Man's Desert, and smaller operations in the other Wahi's. I require that your Manas head to the Plains of the Skakdi. My forces will be expecting it. While you are speaking with the Xian's regarding their technology I will have my forces board your craft and attempt to learn its workings in their own way."

OOC: What topic is this? IC: "It might be possible to grow a duplicate Manas for study."

Jammers, Umbrax only! "I expect you to dispatch your Manas to my fortress as soon as possible. Xia is under attack by Inharax at the moment, so your journey there must be stalled for the time being. Instead, I am appointing you commander of my coming offensive against Inharax's Manas. My generals are currently planning the attacks from my fortress of New Chagrin in the plains of the skakdi, the same place I am requiring that your Manas be sent. They will inform you of everything you need to know. I expect to hear good things about your deeds."
High above the area, and in the upper atmosphere, five "Defender" Obelisks teleport into position. Virtually undetectable due to shadow shielding and illusion, these floating pillars begin to drift about the area, preparing their systems for operation.
