Freeport XV: ORI meeting the TAZ, the OSI, and the Omicroners

[Valek]

Valek followed the man called "Mannock" into a room with a big table.

They all entered the room and sat down, grabbing something to drink or to eat.

The men looked a little bemused when Valek grabbed his bag and walked around the big conference-table, putting a brief version of the Book Of Origin on the table in front of everybody, when the door opened and the OSI representative entered the room.


Valek poured some Water into his glass, while watching the unknown man passing him towards a seat.

After a little while, Valek stood up, grabbing his wand and his Book Of Origin.

"Gentlemen of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners, Omicron Supply Industries and Omicroners.
I am Ambassador Valek, representative of the Ori. "

"I came here to you as a Zoner friend, not an enemy.

I will begin with a little introduction.
First of all, as Mannock said: "Gentlemen, dear lady, ah, you also Valek." : Yes, I am human. Made of blood and flesh, just like You. You may have heard rumors about the Ori not being human at all. This is right, as these people were talking about our ascendants. They have found the way to enlightement a long time ago and now, in their infinite kindness, they are making the ascent possible to us."

Vallek opened the Book Of Origin:

"The overall Goal is to achieve Immortality by ascending to the spirit world and become once with the Universe as pure energy. Glorious are the Ori, who lead us to salvation, who did fight the evil that would doom us all to mortal sin. Did they defeat the old spirits and cast them out? And now, with the strength of our will, they do call upon us to prevail against the corruption of all unbelievers."

He closes the book and continues:

"When you have the honor to meet one of the ascendants, easy to recognize as they have [asc] in their transponder tag, you are talking with the Ori themselves.
As the Ori are made out of pure energy, and pure and endless power and wisdom, they are using their most close and loyal servants as organic shells, to be able to talk, or to fly their motherships. If the servants are destroyed, they can simply use another worshipper of theirs."

After a short break he continues:

"The glorious Ori have built up a fleet of believers, to spread their words into the Galaxy. I do also belong to this fleet. We are humans, and we worship the great Ori for their wisdom, kindness and power. You can see a short description on how to recognize an Ori in the book I gave You, gentlemen. Read through it please, and tell me if you have a question before i start."

With these words, Valek sat down to await the reactions of the distrustful men sitting in front of him.
