Extraterrestrial Civilizations - Class 2 [1/17, Period 4]

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon," Ellie greeted the class. "Today our guest speaker will be the Royal Princess Ardala of the Draconian Empire. She'll give a brief talk and then answer any questions you might have for her about her world. Please give her your attention and respect."

An attractive woman with curly brown hair adorned with a jeweled headpiece strode into the room, followed by a hulking tattooed bald man. "Come along, Tigerman," she said haughtily as she took her place at the head of the class. Tigerman glared at the students, his arms crossed over his bare muscular chest.

"We are the Royal Princess Ardala of the Draconian Empire," the woman said. She was wearing what could best be described as a silver bejeweled bikini top, purple gauzy cape, and a few scraps of fabric attached to a silver belt that made some semblance of a skirt. She had the body to pull it off, however. "Our father, King Draco, ordered us here to speak of our kingdom," she said. "King Draco is the greatest leader the universe has ever known, and his kingdom is the most powerful. But we are a peaceful people. Our father sends his star fortresses throughout the galaxy looking for planets that are in need of...protection. Pirates plague the intergalactic shipping lines, and in the name of our father, we make treaties with assaulted worlds. Trade agreements in exchange for protection. An offer will be made to Earth soon." She smiled tightly.

"We are prepared to address any specific questions about our home," Ardala went on. "What do you wish to know?"

Questions for Princess Ardala [1/17]

"What exactly do you offer in the way of protection to these planets?" asked Elizabeth lightly.

"Our father's star fortresses are the most powerful vessels in the galaxy," Ardala stated. "One can be assigned to protect the planet itself, and our fighters will patrol the trade routes to look for any sign of trouble. However, it seems when the pirates learn of our protection, they back off and seek targets elsewhere."

Chad was failing at the not staring at the cleavage thing. Thankfully, his hair was in his eyes as usual, so it wasn't noticable.

"Do ya get anything for protecting all these other planets?" he asked. "Or do you just do it 'cause...y'know...it's...nice."

"We get exclusive trade agreements," Ardala said. "And tribute, of course."

"What happens when a planet you are protecting decides they no longer want your protection or they want to lessen their tribute?" Maia kept her gazed fixed to Ardala's eyes.

"That simply doesn't happen," Ardala said arrogantly. "And it was to happen, well, we would continue the arrangement for their own good."

"What happens if they don't accept the treaty you offer?" Stark asked.

"They always do," Ardala said smugly. "The pirates are simply too much for any force but the Draconian Empire to handle."

"How did you start the whole arrangement?" Kyo asked, trying to keep his temper in check.

Re: During Class [1/17]

"Our father saw a need to protect worlds that were not as powerful as Draconia," Ardala said. "So he began to offer the protection of his fleet."

During Class [1/17]

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

Talk, pass notes, etc.

Re: During Class [1/17]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana took lots of notes, but didn't quite feel comfortable enough to ask any questions.

Re: During Class [1/17]

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia tossed a note over::

So what do you think, hostile take over waiting to happen or true peace keepers?

Re: During Class [1/17]

Gwynn was taking notes and doing her best to keep her mouth tightly shut. Her jaw was clenched as she thought about how these people reminded her of Nottingham and Prince John way too much.

Talk to Ellie [1/17]

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

She's totally not looking at Ardala's cleavage, really.

OOC [1/17]

The opening credits for the Buck Rogers movie are BEYOND cheesy. They even make James Bond wince.

I'll deal with this IC post-rescuination, but for now:

Dear Teacher,

Please excuse Z from class today. She was kidnapped by evil aliens.

Thanks,
