*Antony huffs.* Antony: Fine. I won't annex them since you're so insistent. But they are not getting any of the Federation! *His main fleet keeps patrolling, but suddenly disappears to her vision.* Antony: When are these idiots going to attack?
Antony: Of course not! It's just those little buttons you were pressing made me nervous... *His diplomat comes back from improving relations from the Klingons.* Antony: If I made the Klingons my protectorate, what would you do?
Antony: Have you never heard the saying 'The ally of my ally is my enemy'? *He smiles at her jokingly, and the First Fleet (biggest) starts patrolling the Republic-Romulan border.*
*He gets very suspiscous.* Antony: Do you think I would actually backstab my girlfriend? *He tilts his head, and then starts moving some ships around.* Antony: That's not a very gentlemanly thing to do...
Antony: Naw, we have that thing with Jean and your sister in a few, really. Don't want to eat here and not be able to there... *He may or may not be fabricating on something.* Antony: If I declared on the Klingons after the inevitable war with the Federation, what would you do, babe? *He raises an eyebrow at her.*
Antony: you pull a few buildings, keep your eye on trade, and build a trade port on every planet, you start raking in the dough. *He frowns.* Antony: Now that I've said dough, I really want some pizza... *He sends along a cloaking device tech, for some better shield tech.*
Antony: they're gearing up for something... *He starts spreading put into new colonies, specifically staying away from anywhere near the Lanco system.* Antony: Should we be preemptive or let them declare?
Antony: I wasn't. No need to, currently... *He smiles as he gets a pop-up, and starts tapping a few buttons.* Antony: Do the Iconians and Replicators do anything special when you discover them? *He starts setting up his ships along the New Neutral Zone.*
Antony: Hmm, I don't know. Do you have the expansion on? *He keeps building up his military and economy. As well starting to take in interest in exploring, getting on a research plan based on speed and shields.*
*Antony raises an eyebrow at her.* Antony: Hmm, did you have anything to do with that, baby? *He starts queuing up starbases along the Klingon border, and building up a fleet to patrol it.* Antony: If you did, you never know... *He fakes pulling down some sunglasses.* Antony: The Tal'Shiar might just pay you a visit.
*Antony smiles.* Antony: I hope so. If they don't, then I can declare for the Klingons. *He takes a sip of his cola, then sighs.* Antony: Those klivam will not last to form their own empire again! *He shakes his fist in the air, then smiles jokingly at Chloe.*
Antony: Hmm? *He raises an eyebrow at her, then the announcement comes. The Romulan Star Empire Rises! The Romulan Star Empire has declared independence from the Federation. The old Empire has decided that it's...(Continues for a while) Will the Federation retaliate aggressively? Only time will tell... * Antony: There we…
Antony: I did? *He starts setting up new colonies, and covertly annexing some independents.* Antony: Anyway, they could come in handy, but you can never trust them fully. Best to press a dagger in their back while wrapping an arm around their shoulder. *He starts sending trade vessels through her territory.*
