Ako-Metru (Guard property) and the Field of Light!

"We should have coordinated out efforts before they went. Even if they can bring down the manas, we will not be ready to launch an attack in time."

"Xian forces can deploy fast enough to hold them until your own forces can mobilize."

"We recovered and were back to devising technological breakthroughs in a week, with fifteen times as much land to boot. In fact, I should than the Brotherhood - without that event, we would not have so quickly thought to spread out and found colonies."

The turaga glares acidly at Terahka.
"You know what I meant, and that most certainly was not it. That was not appraisal - it was merely a statement that we sprung back to heights higher than ever before days after being destroyed. Cease your attempts to twist my words."

"I would agree, if only all present would see things for what they are. New Artakha believes that the Brotherhood is of no consequence because they survived the initial attack. But what if the brotherhood had wanted the land upon which you city stands? What if they had built a fortress on the site? What if they had murdered you and the rest of your people? No, the attack on new Artakha was a warning. A warning you will not heed; If the Brotherhood wanted you gone, you would be gone! If we are going to do anything to change this scenario, where Inharax has free reign to bully his neighbours into submission, we need to unite. Not just one or two of us, but all of the neighbours that have been slighted by Inharax's brutal fist."

"That is what this meeting is for." Istaki replied with a nod. "Unity is the first Virtue."

They wanted the RRMS dead, and they survived relatively well...
"...Uniting forces is the entire point of this meeting, though you seem determined to accuse me of naivety, hastiness, and betrayal."
The turaga sighs.
"Shall we begin planning our attack, or do you wish to accuse me of something else?"

"Both in conjunction. We cannot defeat one, and let the other live. As for you, Turaga, You are being brash and arrogant. I am ensuring that you understand that we have a long road ahead of us, and it will be no easy trek. We will need all the help we can get, and that includes everyone from the smallest koro, to the grandest city. That way we can use resources equally, and save resources for a longer war."

"As we speak, the Guard is recruiting these forces from across the planet." Istaki looked from Terakha to the turaga, taking careful consideration of the slight animosity between them. "You two will have to put your taste in manners aside and direct your full attention on the situation at hand. Now, if the major Koros agree to our union, we may need help securing them from the brotherhood by setting up admirable defences."
