"You asked if we could cement our alliance." Istaki started with a smooth voice. "What did you have in mind?"
"Consolidation. The Brotherhood of Makuta is larger then any one of us individually; if we consolidate we can respond to threats faster, more effectively, and function on levels larger then those that the Brotherhood operates on. Every member state, including Xia, would forgo a portion of sovereignty and share all technological and scientific developments, as well as military assets."

"The Atero-Nui Guard is only a small faction." The Fe-Matoran's calming aura seemed to assure the group that he cared for their interests as well as his own. "Are you sure about this?"

Kartur strokes the part of his kanohi that sadly does not have a beard, as turaga have no hair. "I think the scientists would be thrilled to have full access to Xian and Guard technology, and I know any citizen who saw what the brotherhood did to our city would rest easier knowing Xia and the Guard were that much more ready to defend us."

"The Guard shares your thoughts, turaga."
"I've been looking at the tech your factions put out, and in many cases it's nothing short of incredible, even by my standards. I think a consolidation would help both sides enormously."

Kartur nods and looks at Istaki.
Terakha, who has been silent up to this point leans forward.
"With respect, this is no simple technology exchange. This is a coalition. This is war. Hopefully the last war against the dreaded Makuta. Even us together have little hope of defeating Inharax's hordes in arms. We need more aid if we are going to break the RMS lines."

"Our and Xia's forces are already working together to destroy one of the brotherhoods bases. Speaking of which..." The turaga vanishes momentarily and reappears. "There. I think they will have much more pressure on their defenses now."

"A simple external base is of no consequence. We must attack somewhere that has weight to its name. Somewhere where Brotherhood occupation is a stain on all of us."

He turns to the ANG commander.
"Atero Nui."
"A couple insane 'heroes' have left to go deal with the Manas there. While normally I would not be especially optimistic, I have noticed that small groups of Toa tend to acheive things far beyond what they should be able to."
