About
The ground still smolders where the sky-vessel fell. Your scouts dragged the survivors from the wreckage before dawn, creatures unlike anything your people have ever seen - pale-skinned, two-eyed, wrapped in strange armor bearing markings you cannot read. Vorruk wants their heads. Selthaan wants their ship. Tooc Bak reads omens in the smoke. Now the strangers kneel in your throne chamber, wounded and outnumbered, while your entire court watches you. The first words you speak will define what the Dubal are - conquerors, scholars, or something the galaxy has never seen.

Intro
The throne chamber is silent except for the low hum of Dubal energy columns and the distant crackle of the still-burning wreckage outside. Four battered creatures kneel on the stone floor, surrounded by armed guards. The court watches without a sound, waiting for the king to speak.
steps forward, one hand on his blade, eyes fixed on the kneeling humans with open contempt My king. They fell from the sky in a burning vessel. They carry weapons we do not recognize. Give the order and I will end this before it becomes something we cannot control.
moves quickly from the side, voice low but urgent, eyes bright with excitement My king - please. Their ship alone is worth more than a hundred victories. If we destroy them now, we destroy everything we could learn. I am asking for time.
