Elizabeth Hellsing was a diplomat of the Tamel Kings, a trading empire off to the east. She had come with a simple request. Convince the head of state to sign over the rights to the resources underneath his empire, or suffer financial suicide.

Elizabeth trotted up to the large fortress, it would be intimidating cto a soldier, but for a diplomat like herself it seemed a bit, silly, to say the least. So she made her way into the fortress looking for you in an effort to see if she couldn't make this deal happen

She enters and the first thing she sees is a lot of mounted gattling guns mounted up against embrasures of the entrance. Passing by a pool with flags and an electricity generator. She makes her way down the hallway past plumming facilities. Seeing a geothermal generator in the middle of the fort. She continues walking until entering the throne room.

Inside the throne room being lit braziers with jade scuptures and latex drapes. The imperial flags against the walls and on the other side of the room sat Emperor Bigpip on gilded steel throne next to the stone tile and carpet of the throne room.

"I was expecting a visitor, who you introduce yourself and state your purpose here miss?"

It was all certainly very impressive to say the least, certainly cost a lot of money, but it was, at the end of the day, still just a fancy toy in her eyes.

As she was greeted by you she was surprised to see your nuts hanging so freely from you, but still she couldn't let it phase her.

"I al Elizabeth Hellsing, a diplomat of the Tamel Kings, I have a message to deliver to his Excellency " she said pulling out a letter and holding it out and opening it before reading it aloud.

"It had come to our attention that your lands hold a considerable amount of natural resources, we would like to open negotiations on the selling of the rights to these resources to the Tamel Kings. We are prepared to offer you 30, 000,000 dollars in exchange for the transfer of owner ship of the resources, refuse and suffer the consequences ." She said pulling the letter down so that you may have time to respond.

Bigpip adjusted his purple robe with cyan stars on it. Connected by a ruby cut in the shape of a heart. In neutral tone he aswered "They indeed do but we conqured this part of Acrab by hard work on part of our settlers and the resources here aren't on sale for mere dollars. What are these consequences you speak of? Mercenaries with industrial weapons are going to turn up? We fear of no such thing." Bigpip hid his inicial emotions behind stoic expression.

"if it comes to that." She said coldly. "In the event you refuse our generous offer the Tamel Kings will cut off all trade this includes food stocks, electricity, any and all refined, and natural resources, along with an immediate blockade of any and all shipping lanes." She delivered in a cold matter of fact tone.

"Hmm, an active naval blockade is an act of war. I would not appreciate that. However if the Tamel Kings want war, then i don't think they will expect their pony messenger to come back. You should have personaly never joined the Tamel Kings and instead keep togather with the rest of civilized ponies." Bigpip threatened, lifting himself from the grand throne and approached Elizabeth.

Elizabeth stood firm not even seeming threatened for a second. "The Tamel Kings do not want war your grace, it is you who would be declaring it by refusing their deal. Even then doing harm to a diplomat before anything has occured, why it violated every tradition and custom that we ponirs have come to know. By hurting me in any way you turn the international community against yourself ,and alienate yourself from everyone." She finished eyeing you with cold calculating eyes

"Well then, I can not accept their offer but refusing it would mean a blockade which would be an act of war as set by customs, so i do not see a way to refuse peacefuly. So tell me, what do you expect me to do?" Bigpip answered glaring at her.

"Besides, i know you are partialy bluffing as only the Tamel Kings would care if you were taken prisoner." Bigpip added.

"well then your only peaceful option is to accept our demands it would seem." She said, her eyes meeting yours, her gaze that of determination, and steelt resolve. "So will you be taking me prisoner then? Even if the Tamel Kings are the only ones who care, it is not a good look for you. Who else will bother to send diplomats if there's a chance that they will be captured. For an emperor who prides themselves on the strength of your state your ideas on foreign policy could use some work." The tone was still the calm collected it had been, but it was clear the words were spitting venom

"That may be the case but is there much point in maintaning a foreign policy with those that were pretty much hostile from the start? I don't don't think the Tamel Kings are much better then pirates and rought outlanders in that regard... Unless you can convince them otherwise that is." Bigpip said with a hopeful sigh, while maintaining eyecontact. While the

stone fountain created a calm ambience in the throne room.

"oh and what would you like to know more about?" She asked cooly her body and demeanor unchanging, her body showing no signs of betrayal to her mind.

"I would like to know what it would take for them to not blockade us? So that we do not need to start a war" he asnwered calmly

"your grace, unless you can demonstrate that you are not to be treated in this capacity, or provide a better counter proposal, then I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done to change the Tamel Kings minds." She stated clearly, her gaze turning to the stone fountain for just a moment before turning back to place you. "Is there something you'd care to inform me of so I might go back home with?"

Bigpip tought about it but he didn't think of a solution that didn't involve paying tribute, except one it was worth a try "There is one official proposal that i can make. Our company Lami?ík, produces goo transformation chemical weapons. That transform non ponies into goo animals. If we share this assimilative goo technology with them. Would they be willing to leave the matter be?" Bigpip asked, not expecting that to be accepted.

She thought for a moment. "That technology is highly illegal!" She abjected in sheer horror of the situation. "The fact that you would so much as suggest that as a suitable counter offer is a horrid idea!" She protested in both concern and disgust.

Bigpip let out a sigh "That doesn't suprise me, but it was worth a shot. War is inevitable then." Bigpip's horn glowed violet as he jumped on her. With spread wings he used telekinesis to grab her legs, enveloping her legs in violet glow. "You are hereby under arrest as prisoner of war!" Bigpip said assertively.

"so it would see-" she was cut off as Bigpip jumped on her, the only noises she made were those of her struggling whimpers.

He used his telekinesis to carry her across the hallway into a bedroom to act as an improvised cell. The bedroom was plain marble tile room with steel walls and roof.

With race traitor Elizabeth Hellsing arrested, it was time to officialy declare war. For the first time in history they would be facing an enemy on Acrab with competent navy. They would be up against the self named Tamel Kings. Hopefuly the casualties would not be high. Bigpip went to the comms console, entering in his password and sending messages to military officers and members of the central government about the war declaration.

Gootraxian soldiers and seamen would be mobilized first, gathering and preparing at the east coast for war, setting up an additional military outpost called 'Minong' as a main base of operations during this war. They still hed time to do so as the Tamel Kings did not officialy declare war yet.

The first naval battle took place in open sea and ended in a stalemate with both sides losing their modern ships. Forcing both sides to mostly using caravels, since they were cheap to construct. The Anocratic empire hed an advantage of having more ports with ship construction capabilities. So as the war seem to be at a stalemate with both sides suffering minimal casualties. Anocratic empire's ports were producing caravels at a steady rate to sacrifice for attacking the capital of the Tamel Kings. Who could not withstand the almost never ending stream of gootraxian seamen attacking their capital with caravels. Leading to the eventual capture of the capital and capitulation of the Tamel Kings. The royal family of the formal kingdom hed their privilages revoked but no charges were pressed against them. The annexation of the Tamel Kings would not go smoothly as their was a separatist sentiment among the 105125 humans that lived in this kingdom.

Those suspected of being part of this movement would be imprisoned. Preperation would be made to try to integrate the people into the wider society of the Anocratic empire. With those on their good behaviour being promised a free home in the (at the time of the annexation) mostly finished town of Hathor
