• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

    Vlad let the others get their questions in, taking his time to repack his supplies as they talked to the alien. Sounds like this guy took social-darwinism too far, he thought, shaking his head as he waited for the bug to respond, his rifle in his hands.

    "We're messing with the alien, trying to talk to it or something," Vlad said to Marczin, gesturing for the SSM soldier to move out of the room.

    "I do not know her well," Shade said with a shrug. "As I have no attachments, I have no reason to trust her. I've not seen her work either, and so do not know how well she leads. I will assume she is adequate, until I know whether it can be believed or not." She slowly tilted her head to look up...
