《Infinity》Chapter 10

“What are we gathered here for? Is there a purpose to this humans, or just another one of your vile traps?” Hissed a Heiive city-governor.
“We have only known good things to come out of the humans.” Said Krri’to’yok’no, defending us.
“How lucky you must be.” Another Heiive said.
“Shut the hell up, you ants, crawling in the mud like bugs. We will squash you. And as for you creepy tentacle bitch,no filthy menace to humanity will be immune to our divine power.” Said John. The Almani, Heiive, Human tribes, and me and my merry little band had all gathered.
“This is supposed to be a diplomatic meeting you xenophobic asshole. Stop giving the human race a bad name.” Said Chom, who tended to be the first to get pissed over this stuff.
“You mean a holy name…”
“No the fuck I don’t.”
“We are brought here together today for an alliance and I swear to god we will kill our fellow human if we must!” Said Sulf.
“You and what army slut?”
“We are armies by our own John, understand that quickly.”
“Shall we return to the original conversation?” said one of the Almani representatives for the Uiot. “Let’s hammer out some basics first.”
“We worked out a treaty here, take a look,” I said. It stated a few basic things that would help this meeting progress forwards.
1.The Human tribes will unify, or leave to join other empires.
2.Any hostile relations will end.
3.The United Human Tribes, whatever their name may be, will not pass the H’ii river, and their territory will stretch from the South side of the H’ii river, to the end of the jungles, and interfere with no other borders.

4.The Infinite Councils will come into being, with their territory being the entirety of no man’s land.
5.The Almani will post a small fort in both Heiive and United Human Tribes territory, and assist whatever nation to be attacked should war break out, and should they be asked.
6.The Infinite Councils will create an embassy in United Human Territory to accept any humans.
7.The United Human Tribes will release all prisoners of war.
8.No empire may restrict the leaving of citizens to join other empires.
This last subject, all but the Infinite Councils(which in case you didn’t guess, was me and my crew) didn’t know about.
The Infinite Councils will formally declare war on any who dare declare war on its allies, who may be made at this exact time.
Everyone except me and my fellow Infinite Councils leaders took a peak at the treaty. Immediately John yelled that it was unacceptable, but the Heiive kept reading, with most screaming that it would never work. But then one of the Almani stepped forward and screamed over everyone else, “SILENCE!!!”
The room quieted. “We Xiz’tooh of the Almani will make this alliance with the Infinite Councils. We will fully be absorbed into them. These humans are unparalleled in strength, and it would be wisest for us to join. We can see them uniting the Jungles, and even the beyond. We will gladly follow their leadership. They have won a great many battles for the Almani, and will continue to win most likely.”
“We will gladly accept your offer, however, in return you cannot take a passive role and enjoy luxuries while we die for them. If we are to become allies you must be prepared to give something in return.” I said.
“We will discuss later with you this subject,” The Xiz’tooh said.

“We of the Foorn faction will join into the Infinite Councils.” One Heiive stated boldly. This was at least a half million people that just entered the empire. And there were surely only more to come. This was definitely a good start.
“That’s all well and good,” John sneered, “But these terms are still unacceptable.”
“How about we just take out all the parts concerning you?” I said.
“Sounds perfect.”
“But, the moment you leave this room, the Infinite Councils will declare war on you, and, quoting you, ‘there are no rules in war.’ Be warned, we will attack you, capture you, and then send you off to the best suited to torture you, and we will make you live through the fear you have put others through.” He paled.
“Fine.”
“Now,” I clapped and shouted out, “Anyone else have any protests?”
“No, but the Almani as a whole, will be allied with you.”
“Sounds good.” Wrang replied.
“Where should I sign?” Krri’to’yok’no said.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
