What The HFIL Was That? (Onyan, GM)

A few Nobles in the room seemed to be sweating as they nervously decided to not step up and do anything. Meaning the Kings awful regime would continue. At least it was awful in their eyes.
Mizuna would nod.
"Well the nobility has formed two political parties, a deal was made with an Arkosian, and there seems to be some sort of joint pirate force of low class Saiyans, Mythrosians, and Rhosians assaulting multiple planets under orders from the being that appeared at the congress building. Where do you want me to start?"

"Start with something we can fix right away."
Maiz says, sounding exasperated. Seriously, he wasn't good at this "political" stuff. Then again, what Saiyan was?
"What solves each of these problems the fastest? Whooping these losers?"
He thumbs towards the Nobles.
"Killing that Arkosian? Crushing that guy who tried to mind control me?"
Nevermind that it worked. He was free now, and therefore, it was only an "attempt".

"Wait is that being the same one that did the control thing to Maiz?" Onyan's brows would furrow.
She'd missed the whole part with the meeting, obviously.

Maiz's statement and question made Mizuna chuckle.
"I dont think there is an easy way to settle everything, Maiz."
She'd think on it and looked to Onyan when she spoke.
"Yeah we think its the same guy. One of the political parties wants to ally with them and conquer more planets. The King believes that kind of war would lead to extinction... I happen to agree with that sentiment."
She would sigh.
"The deal with the Arkosian was made by The King. The deal is better on our end, but we have to play nice. The kind of resources we will be getting supplied with will possibly even fix the kind of catastrophic environmental damage we have already caused... As Karo puts it."

Maiz frowns.
"....define playing nice."
Because he may or may not have murdered one while he was mindcontrolled. Not that... he wouldn't have if he wasn't controlled.
"But then at this point, it sounds like the only real problem we have is whatever toxin is incapacitating our King. Which means we need to find the cure."

Mizuna nods.
"That would be a good step, but the problem is the Kings Faction."
She would gesture kind of suggestively at the Saiyans present.

"Why is it a problem?"

Maiz glances over at the other Nobles.
"It better not be..."
He says simply.
"Because I was thinking I was gonna put an end to these rebellious houses by giving them a shot. Let 'em pick their strongest fighter, and I'll kick their ass. Winner takes all kinda shit."

Mizuna would shake her head at Maiz. "I like where your head is, but that wont work with these guys." She'd look to Onyan after. "These are left overs. They aren't loyal they just cant survive on their own and the other faction won't take them, so they want to catch us when we are weak and usurp the King. It's just as likely they poisoned him or whatever." The nobles in the room seemed enraged but dare not make a move. However, the one in the back who had been sitting down calmly this whole time stood and raised a hand. "Actually I should correct you on that." Mizuna tilted her head as the guy approached. "Unlike the others here, our clan is here due to loyalty. We are mostly a Clan of scouts, we don't produce many warriors. So I think I should speak up about the things you hear behinds closed doors. The current attitude of most nobles is that the Crown does not reward accomplishment anymore. Simply makes decree's, while telling the nobles not to expand their holdings and wealth." He'd cough into a hand. "While they should simply be proud of their conquests and rewards, they are mostly an old brood, and need a considerable upkeep in merits it would seem. Perhaps a show of good faith and a reward for loyalty to the houses currently troubling you, could point them in another direction. As a suggestion."

"Rewards like what?"
Power, you grab yourself. They're already nobles.
"Higher rankings?"
So confusing.

Maiz shrugs, because he also doesn't know what to give out as a reward.
He'd fight them, but they're scared, so that's out.

Taisa would shake his head at the suggested or question. While Mizuna put her face in her hands.
"Well for one, I believe the full halt on conquest has stagnated total lands for the nobility to rule over. While the Low Class and individual Saiyans have little need for money or galactic currency since the Nobility basically pay them in shit soup, bread, and piss they call alcohol, the Nobility live lavishly, warships, clothes, extravagant parties, trade deals for food and weapons, research into new armors and new worlds to conquer."
Taisa would wait wondering if this struck them or if he needed to be direct, but he figured the look on Maiz's face meant he needed to be direct.
"Money, coins, galactic currency. The Royal Treasury is likely capable of some sort of contract with the troublesome nobility."

"More money?" Onyan would ask with a look of contempt.
She just looks at Mizuna after.

"I don't really... get to tell the king what to do with his money..."
Maiz gives a bit of a frown.
What disappointing motives. Were all Saiyans really like this? No wonder he hung out with the low class warriors all the time before.

Mizuna shakes her head and shrugs at Onyan with a sigh.
"Thats about the jist of it. The Noble Houses are ruled by old men who no longer get the thrill of battle, and instead try to live like Arkosians. Corrupted by the veritable hordes of wealth we make in our war contracts and planet sales. Our families, including Taisa's and a few others in the other faction are the only ones that haven't fallen in with this thought process."
Taisa simply nods along with the explanation before looking between them.
"Well, it's not like you should tell the King what to do, just put in a word and see what happens. Negotiation isn't a bad tactic. Or you could lop the heads off all the current family leaders until someone seems cooperative."
