Oh hey, badass cloak! Where'd you get it...?

It's the skin of a dragon! No, not a dragon... a timeship!

You killed a timeship?

Course I did. What, you think I'm some little coward who can't kill a timeship or something?

No its just... they're hard to kill... Great House timeships are super rare.

Oh... did it have a name? Did you even learn its name before you slaughtered it?

The biggest one, obviously. Lolita.

@the-one-true-war-queen

Anastasia is gone. The Faction won't trouble you any more. Well, no more than usual.

So you are willing to reintegrate yes?

Of course some sanctions will have to be taken to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.

Consider us an allied power.

So you are not seeking to once more become a chapter and enjoy a privileged position on the supreme high council?

Another time, maybe. Or not.

You disappoint me Eliza. I expected you to be more ambitious than this.

But it seems is have overestimated you Cousin Eliza.

If I can speak plainly, Your Majesty...

The best the Houses had to offer wasn't all that impressive.

Faction Paradox cannot continue to exist as a Separatist rouge state if we are to win this war.

Until at least the conclusion of the war you are to return to your position as a Chapter.

As Speaker of the House I'll be taking negotiations from here.

Your position is not recognised. Thanks to Ollistra’s report we know who you are.

A Paradox, yes. Eliza and I have come to an arrangement, my position has been ratified by her.

You do know the speaker of the house is supposed to be impartial and thus not be involved with diplomacy?

Why must you be difficult, I'm a more amicable negotiator than Eliza.

I’m just pointing out your own laws. The Speaker can’t negotiate as negotiations are inherently biased.

This is your job description.

“The Speaker of the House of Commons chairs debates in the Commons chamber. The holder of this office is an MP who has been elected to be Speaker by other Members of Parliament. During debates they keep order and call MPs to speak.”

The acting speaker historically has been granted more leniency in this matter due to the fact they hold other positions and that Faction Paradox has had no need for stable governance since the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and the first execution of Anastasia, your House now needs significant stability. And you have declared yourself not simply acting speaker but actually speaker of the house. You Eliza have declared yourself Grandfather Paradox.

I am Grandfather Paradox. Madame War Queen.

You are no Justine that’s for sure.

Justine retained her humanity. In my history, I killed Shuncucker, I killed Lolita. I stopped the assassination of the War King.

I stopped Mother Mathara's rogue Faction Splinter before it could destroy your homeworld, Madam War Queen.

The other Grandfather, the other Eliza, does not believe we were being treated fairly, as a Chapter. She believes, as do I, that we need more autonomy. We will still conduct our military operations in unison, as before, but we insist upon the right to full governance of our own internal affairs.

@shuncucker the Grandfather said she could kill you. Said she was stronger and better than you, how does that make you feel?

Oh well that's just petty.

You want to negotiate with the other Grandfather instead, be my guest... I doubt she will be as lenient though.

*nowhere to be found*

@the-one-true-war-queen

Welp, looks like you have no choice.

@shuncucker you are the Grandfather yes? You are the strongest yes? If so why is Eliza running around pretending why is she saying she’s stronger than you? Sounds to me like she thinks you are…

Weak.

Sounds like you think you're better than me too.

Shuncucker is wearing your mums mask and her skin

*attacks @shuncucker*

*shields herself with Lolita's skin and retaliates with something that makes a great big boom when she fires it*

*detects Lolita's biodata on @shuncucker*

Hey! Let mum go!

What? You think I've got her?

Go ask the loser in the robes what she did with her.

And what about Lolita's kids?

Those two? I don't know. I'll fight them if I see them.

Aren't you worried at all about the fact she's killed you before?

Just maybe you have a point there...

The Grandfather is playing you and she will kill you once she bores of you...

She already admitted that she has killed you before.

What, you think I'm some kind of idiot? Of course she's gonna do that, which is why I'm gonna do it first.

*binds Lolita in her shadow and begins taking her apart to make her of more use*

@anastasia-of-the-13-day-republic... is the occupation successful? Any resistance?

As promised, I've captured one of the advanced timeships to be repurposed into a stabiliser to hold the Republic together.

Uncertainty skirmishes are still ongoing.

Eliza's on the run and Lolita's been captured and bound.

I present her to you... her systems should be able to be used to stabilise the Thirteen Day Republic, Cousin Anastasia.

And Morlock?

Under House Arrest, contained, don't worry. Like we'd let him get away after what he's proven himself capable of.

The other godparents?

You're forces should be rounding them up...

Without the Grandfather and with the ferocity of the attack, the Empire should be paralysed to fight back...

*holds out Lolita bound in their shadow*

She's yours...

I’m not really interested in her. See you’re still so old fashioned and Eleven Day Empireish. Me I’m a rebel a proper one. Not one who sits around being all dramatic.

So.

*draws a gun that has no shadow, like wise each bullet it without a shadow and so is Anastasia herself.*

*shoots the Grandfather.*

*hits them in the shoulder*

Argh... and after all this effort I put into saving her for you so the Empire and Republic could coexist... are you going to bring down the Empire now?

You know as well as I do that the Empire and Republic can’t co exist as independent entities. The Faction needs to move forwards in open rebellion to grow stronger. You Dr Who are not the person to do that. You are the old ways. I am the new. I suggest either you flee or die. Remember I out number you I have the army otherwise it’s just you and your lackey.

Is that who you think I am under here, Anastasia... oh please... I didn't think his robes would manage to even fool you.

*she removes the hood to reveal an aged Eliza*

I brought the timeship to heel to allow for the stabilisation of both realms... I agree with you, we need open rebellion. We need a more revolutionary form of government... Justine, she was old history, tradition... but me, I was never much for tradition.

Four of you? Well I suppose another grave won’t be noticed then. Either way whoever you are, I’m still going to kill you you’re far to Eurocentric.

*pulls the trigger again.*

*holds Lolita in the way to use as a shield*

Have it your way... the Empire is yours... for now.

Then leave.

Very well... I thought you were a rational ally who wanted real change but it seems I was mistaken.

@shuncucker

We're going... unless you wanna try and kill Anastasia and her army. But she's unaffected by shadow weapons

And I'm keeping Lolita...

You? But-

*For once in her life, Shuncucker is speechless*

Fine, at least you're not a wimp anymore.

Selve is jealous of how much better you are than her...

But... she can fight? She's better than me at things...

But you're clearly objectively better... and she's jealous because of that...

But... she's not. She doesn't really notice me.

She's trying to put up a front cause she's jealous...

I-is she?

@new-101-timeship ?

No *lying*

...Want to eat this mean concept with me?

Yeah!

Wait what... no!

*grabs half of it and pulls*

owowowowowowowow!

*Finally glances back at Eliza whom she's supposed to be keeping an eye on*

Mum?

Oh hello... little vampireling

You must be one of Eliza's defenders...

*Shrinks back*

No. And I'm not a vampire.

You're the daughter of the mother of monsters... are you not?

Shuncucker... here's a timeship to kill...

*runs away into the vortex*

Heh... one of 'em already ran.

@new-101-timeship... you going to to run away like a coward too?

No! *arms her weapons* stay back

Oh good... I was waiting for a fight!

*drops the axe and arms their own weapon*

*fires something*

*deflects it, then fires her own blast back, destabilising Selve's shell*

Ow! *discharges the rest of her weapons in his general direction all at once*

*switches to a giant shield and blocks them, then grabs her with their shadow*

Another Timeship skeleton for my armour...

Let me go! *tries to dematerialize*

@shuncucker

Tear its core out, make it die!

Mum!

*appears in front of Selve*

@shuncucker!

That's enough!

*Her timeship shell-ripper aimed for Selve impacts Lolita instead.*

Oh good, a real fight.

And since when do you get the thrill bullying children for your fights Shuncucker

*shatters the weapon with a temporal torpedo*

Let Eliza go... and leave my children alone

I only wanted you! Hah!

*hurls a wild hail of small but effective temporal munitions at her*

*ow*

You're a short sighted little fool. Who even put you up to this...

*targets Shuncucker's timeline with a temporal cauteriser*

*Shuncucker's newest weapon bends time enough to dodge it*

@the-grandfather-of-house-paradox! See, 'cause he wants to be the one in charge here, not little princess Justine and her girlfriend.

Another Grandfather? And who's this one then?

*Aims multiple conventional weapons at Shuncuckers head and heart as she strikes out with her own shadow sabre*

*Shuncucker's armor does a pretty good job of protecting her from the weapons she can't deflect, but she still staggers as the shadow sabre gets through*

Oh I don't know. But's this one's more impressive than little miss special saviour of the Faction over there.

And you've got a shadow weapon too!

*Tries to mark Lolita with a memetic brand to disable her weapon systems*

Wait what are you?! *tries to fire but can't*

You little...!

What's the matter? Big bad timeship not that scary anymore?

*Easily parries the shadow sabre now that it's the only weapon she has to deal with*

*tries to dematerialise*

*throws a temporal harpoon to try to stop her*

*speared*

*reels her back through the vortex to the Empire then gets to work making sure she doesn't try that again*

We'll need to keep this one alive... I promised Anastasia she'd be able to stabilise the republic with one of the timeship's systems...

Alive... but not unharmed.

So feel free to tear out whatever bits you want to improve your armour.

*starts by taking Lolita's timeship-skull mask and putting it on, then cuts away a piece of timeship shell "skin" large enough for her to fashion into a near-impenetrable cloak*

*screams in pain*

Oh, stop screaming. It's just a bit of skin.

*swipes at Shuncucker with her shadow sword*

*parries with her axe and wraps herself in the timeship skin to avoid any more of that*

Oi, @anastasia-of-the-13-day-republic! Get over here if you want your timeship in one piece!

I'll take care of it for her...

Shame the others got away, but good job, that was Justine's ultimate nemesis and you smoked her, you've more than proven your worth.

How would you like to be head of the military wing?

Course I did. I'm not a skinny little loser like she is.

And yeah, should have always been, shouldn't I?

Yeah, exactly! Plus there'll be lots of fighting for you to do...

Got anyone in mind?

Well I have no doubt Eliza will try to "come back for revenge" or sick the Homeworld on us... plus there's also the Daleks.

Course she will. And she'd better actually try to fight this time.

Oh I doubt it... she's weak. Thinks she can talk everyone to death...

Little skinny coward...

*waves the bound up Lolita*

She even left her friend behind to save her own skin...

Bit of a stupid rescue mission if you get caught doing it.

You had a clever little trick there, ritually binding her weapons systems. Made her completely inept...

Picked it up when I broke out of prison and killed half - no, three quarters - of a whole time fleet to do it.

Selve is jealous of how much better you are than her...

But... she can fight? She's better than me at things...

But you're clearly objectively better... and she's jealous because of that...

But... she's not. She doesn't really notice me.

*reels her back through the vortex to the Empire then gets to work making sure she doesn't try that again*

We'll need to keep this one alive... I promised Anastasia she'd be able to stabilise the republic with one of the timeship's systems...

Alive... but not unharmed.

So feel free to tear out whatever bits you want to improve your armour.

*starts by taking Lolita's timeship-skull mask and putting it on, then cuts away a piece of timeship shell "skin" large enough for her to fashion into a near-impenetrable cloak*

*screams in pain*

Oh, stop screaming. It's just a bit of skin.

*swipes at Shuncucker with her shadow sword*

*parries with her axe and wraps herself in the timeship skin to avoid any more of that*

Oi, @anastasia-of-the-13-day-republic! Get over here if you want your timeship in one piece!

I'll take care of it for her...

Shame the others got away, but good job, that was Justine's ultimate nemesis and you smoked her, you've more than proven your worth.

How would you like to be head of the military wing?

Course I did. I'm not a skinny little loser like she is.

And yeah, should have always been, shouldn't I?

Yeah, exactly! Plus there'll be lots of fighting for you to do...

Got anyone in mind?

Selve is jealous of how much better you are than her...

But... she can fight? She's better than me at things...

But you're clearly objectively better... and she's jealous because of that...

But... she's not. She doesn't really notice me.

She's trying to put up a front cause she's jealous...

I-is she?

@new-101-timeship ?

No *lying*

...Want to eat this mean concept with me?

Yeah!

Wait what... no!

*grabs half of it and pulls*

owowowowowowowow!

*Finally glances back at Eliza whom she's supposed to be keeping an eye on*

Mum?

Oh hello... little vampireling

You must be one of Eliza's defenders...

*Shrinks back*

No. And I'm not a vampire.

You're the daughter of the mother of monsters... are you not?

Shuncucker... here's a timeship to kill...

*runs away into the vortex*

Heh... one of 'em already ran.

@new-101-timeship... you going to to run away like a coward too?

No! *arms her weapons* stay back

Oh good... I was waiting for a fight!

*drops the axe and arms their own weapon*

*fires something*

*deflects it, then fires her own blast back, destabilising Selve's shell*

Ow! *discharges the rest of her weapons in his general direction all at once*

*switches to a giant shield and blocks them, then grabs her with their shadow*

Another Timeship skeleton for my armour...

Let me go! *tries to dematerialize*

@shuncucker

Tear its core out, make it die!

Mum!

*appears in front of Selve*

@shuncucker!

That's enough!

*Her timeship shell-ripper aimed for Selve impacts Lolita instead.*

Oh good, a real fight.

And since when do you get the thrill bullying children for your fights Shuncucker

*shatters the weapon with a temporal torpedo*

Let Eliza go... and leave my children alone

I only wanted you! Hah!

*hurls a wild hail of small but effective temporal munitions at her*

*ow*

You're a short sighted little fool. Who even put you up to this...

*targets Shuncucker's timeline with a temporal cauteriser*

*Shuncucker's newest weapon bends time enough to dodge it*

@the-grandfather-of-house-paradox! See, 'cause he wants to be the one in charge here, not little princess Justine and her girlfriend.

Another Grandfather? And who's this one then?

*Aims multiple conventional weapons at Shuncuckers head and heart as she strikes out with her own shadow sabre*

*Shuncucker's armor does a pretty good job of protecting her from the weapons she can't deflect, but she still staggers as the shadow sabre gets through*

Oh I don't know. But's this one's more impressive than little miss special saviour of the Faction over there.

And you've got a shadow weapon too!

*Tries to mark Lolita with a memetic brand to disable her weapon systems*

Wait what are you?! *tries to fire but can't*

You little...!

What's the matter? Big bad timeship not that scary anymore?

*Easily parries the shadow sabre now that it's the only weapon she has to deal with*

*tries to dematerialise*

*throws a temporal harpoon to try to stop her*
