The Polestar was rapturous as the queen of saiyans walked through its cacaphony. A smirk played at her lips; the prison she had designed and overseen shortly after the fall of Arcose was operating exactly as intended, a cut-throat artificial world where political prisoners were held until they broke and spilled their secrets, or even better, until they started killing each other off in an attempt to gain the mercy of the solar empire--a fool's errand. "The Warden," some wretched alien who had elected himself as the Knutt's criminal kingpin and taken the most comfortable top spot in the prisoner food-chain, had informed the criminal populace that the hard-fisted empress of the Solar Empire was passing through the area to a meeting--and to stay away, stay away. Zucceta would have no qualms killing any prisoners she came across.
She had received a transmission from Knutts several days before she departed on her galactic mission. In exchange for his services to the prison system on Knutts, an arcosian political prisoner had demanded to speak to the queen. In most circumstances, Zucceta would have denied the request, but Knutts was on the way through to the rest of the galaxy and, besides, she had yet to visit the thriving prison; she had only visited the station during its construction period. It'd only be a short stop, probably less than an hour; she had a gut feeling she had some interesting politicking to do.
She enters into the largest, most comfortable cell-block at the center of "Uptown," as the inmates called it. The Arcosian was to be waiting for her within. In the distance, she hears a faint explosion; one of the ki bombs detonating. She imagined the spillage and chuckles. Just another day in this maximum-security prison, with nowhere to run to but the choking void of space.

[Thread PL: 8,640]
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
The corrupted Warden's scream echoed through the halls of Uptown, causing Vocado to cringe slightly from the sheer volume. Deez had sent Vocado on a mission to Beppa-Sei a few weeks ago, but the Saiyan had gone off-course due to a malfunctioning pod. The Saiyan Guard explained the situation to the person who was somehow his superior once again.
"I told you once and I'll tell you again; my pod was sabotaged before I left. Instead of heading to Planet Beppa, I was sent to Earth. If it makes you feel any better I got my ass kicked by an Arcosian before I hitched a ride back to Vegeta."
Deez's anger seemed to subside at the revelation that Vocado had been beaten for his failure. The horse-headed alien chuckled lightly, before resting his elbows on his desk. "Well then... I suppose that's punishment enough for your failures." Deez grabbed a pile of papers, tapping them neatly on his desk as he continued. "Besides, I sent another officer to Beppa shortly after you to provide backup. Apparently the Beppa Mercenaries were fake; it was a trap designed to create a hostage situation. They wanted one of their men freed from prison... We obviously didn't comply, so we're down one guard."
"That's a shame" Vocado said, his voice filled with false sadness.
Deez was about to bring something else up, but he was alerted to a new arrival in Uptown. He read through the report on his scouter, and his eyes widened in surprise when he read the name of their visitor.
"Q-Queen Z-Zuccetta?! She isn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow! What's she doing here today?..."
A bead of sweat dripped down the Warden's face as worries raced through his head. Vocado wasn't interested in Deez's fear however, he was much more interested in the new arrival.
Queen Zuccetta wouldn't come by for something trivial like an inspection or a meeting with Deez. There was obviously something special going on here. Whatever the reason was, however, it probably wasn't his business.
"Vocado. Make your way to Zuccetta's current location if you please? She'll need an escort."
"... You've got to be kidding. She could delete this entire prison from the universe with a sneeze; do you really think she needs my head butting into her business?"
Deez chuckled, shuffling more papers around as he explained his reasoning. "Consider this extra punishment for your failure on Earth... Or perhaps you could call it a reward? Not many are graced with Zuccetta's presence unless they are massively powerful, or extremely important... You are neither of those."
Vocado sneered in contempt. He didn't mind working as the Corrupt Warden's bodyguard, but his power being insulted was something he hated. He knew he couldn't stand up to Deez with his current Power Level, but he could still shoot a quip at his superior. "Apparently I'm more important than you are if I'm the one watching over Zuccetta. Get back to your sitcoms, I'll handle some actual work around here." Vocado quickly stood up, leaving the Warden's Office with a dramatic swish of his cape.
"What a prick... Too bad he's the only one with enough guts to not simply faint around the Queen."
After a short trek through Uptown, he finally happened upon the Queen. She was walking briskly through the large cell block, making her way towards what Vocado presumed was a high-priority prisoner.
The Saiyan Guard cut off Zuccetta's advance, addressing her with a respectful tone in his voice. "Hail, Queen Zuccetta. Warden Deez requested I accompany you during your stay on Knutts. I'm more than certain you do not need my assistance, but I'm not leaving your side unless you kill me. Even then, I'll make sure to haunt you until you leave the facility."
Vocado moved out of his Queen's way, allowing her to continue her stroll. "Deez did not inform me of the reason for your appearance here, so please, lead the way."

Friion floated patiently within his cell, eyes shut and enjoying a quick power nap. He hadn't had much else to do lately, still being unable to find the uppity Saiyan causing trouble around the prison. With his tail idly swishing left and right, he would turn his head toward the sound of boots clacking against the walkway leading toward his cell. The grunt of a clearing throat caused him to slowly open his eyes; he already knew who it was. As far as Saiyans went, the block captain Jinjir was actually bearable. Crazy, right? Turning his floating form to face his door, he gave the monkey a curious look as he stood there, arms crossed, looking a little confused. ''Ah. The kitten. And what may I help you with this time, yet again in the middle of my beauty rest? I'll take care of the brat when I actually find him.'' ''No, no. It's not that, Friion. Someone is...here to see you. The staff isn't happy. This is a pretty big deal, you know. Even employee of the month doesn't get this kind of opportunity around here.'' With a casual and joking smirk, he slid open the door to the cell after unlocking it. Satisfied at hearing the several latches pop open in sequence, Friion landed softly on his feet, his short frame carrying him to the door slowly as he looked up to Jinjir. ''The Queen herself, I presume. Fabulous. Best not to keep her waiting, mm? Do be a friend and escort me, would you? I'd hate for my first impression to be a prisoner's dead body on the way over.'' ''That was the plan. I've got a bomb remote with me. Anyone tries anything, it's no fault. Anyone stepping out of line won't be tolerated.'' ''Mm, but I do so enjoy fireworks, my good man. I'll keep my digits crossed.'' Jinjir stepped out of the way, allowing Friion to exit his cell before he closed it back up and led the way. The Arcosian could feel the hateful, venomous stares coming from the other cells, and nothing made him happier to feel it. Better the trash got used to this sort of thing now, rather than later. Folding his arms behind his back, he walked along calmly, looking each and every prisoner in the eye just to mock them. They were little else than caged animals at present. ''Hm. Enjoying yourself, huh?'' ''Why yes, actually. I haven't been to the zoo in ages.'' The pair both laughed as they continued along in silence for a few moments before the Saiyan spoke up again. ''I won't pry, but you must have something pretty important on your mind to request this. Especially after, well, y'know. Arcose.'' ''Yes, Arcose. Do you think me bitter over the event, Jinjir?'' Surprised that Friion had actually called him by name for once, he paused before responding. ''Well, yeah. It would make sense, anyway. Can you imagine how pissed off the entire planet of Vegeta would be if the Queen died on Earth?'' ''True, but I like to think myself more logical than that. The Empress was tested and found wanting. Those are my feelings on the matter. '' ''Awful... cold of you.'' Jinjir smirked at his own pun, and Friion chuckled briefly. ''I think i'm beginning to rub off on you.'' The Saiyan smiled. While at first Friion had despised him like most other Saiyans, he'd actually come to enjoy his company when he wasn't doing his dirty work. As they took the final turn to the meeting area, Jinjir slid open the door and allowed the Arcosian inside. At the table was a mini-kettle of fresh tea. ''How thoughtful of you. I'll be sure to divulge my praise to the Queen.'' ''Don't get used to it. You're either gonna be in here for a while, or she's the only one that's gonna leave. She should show up in a couple of minutes, so i'm gonna clear out. Don't do anything stupid, lizard.'' ''Likewise, kitten. Go do some paperwork like a good boy.'' Laughing off the casual jabs, a prisoner made a sprint for the still open doors. ''I'll kill that damned lizard! Let me in there! This is an insult!'' Jinjir struck the offender in the gut and dragged him off down the hall just as Friion rose his cup to his lips, pinkie out of course. His first sip timed in tandem with the BOOM of the prisoner's bomb implant, he smiled at the comfort of the warm beverage. Turning around to peek over his shoulder, he watched a janitor hurriedly sprint down the hall, skating on his cart to hurry and clean up before the Queen saw the mess. Turning back to look into his cup and set it down, Friion sighed a humdrum sigh. ''Oh, bother. I've gone and missed the fireworks.''His momentary regret was cut short as he heard the sounds of footsteps rounding the corner outside. Remember his finest table manners, he sat up straight and perky with his hands folded on the table. This was it. This was the moment he'd been waiting for since he'd been tossed into this dump!

The saiya-jin queen glances in Vocado's direction as the saiyan guard joins her pace to her right. A small grin crosses her scarred lips. "Very well, just don't get yourself killed. Would be a waste of saiyan blood to allow yourself to be ended by the vermin in this station." She ignores the guard's comment about her mission, not bothering to answer it, instead asking: "So what's your name and rank, soldier?"
When nearest the cell-block her prisoner was directly sealed within, Zucceta notices a janitor maniacally mopping up a red gunk pile; ostensibly the explosion she had heard a few minutes prior. It was impressive--the queen could barely make out a single stain, just a washed-out red on the cold metal floor. Clearly, the janitors had a lot of training to quickly clean up the organic messes caused by those more rebellious criminals and their ki bombs.
She checks the numbers of the cells before coming to the allocated cell block for the meeting. She takes a moment to think over the potential outcomes to this meeting, and her own rhetoric in response, before sliding open the door to the main hall and walking in.
The queen of all saiyan's eyes fall on the captive Arcosian. She does not speak; instead staring coldly, silently, at the Arcosian, with a stare that says: You wanted to talk to me, so talk. I'm a busy gal.

The Saiyan Guard simply nods at Zuccetta's acceptance of his arrival. He followed closely behind her, staying quiet until the Queen addressed him. She asked for his name, so he obliged. "The names Vocado; Elite Rank Guard of Knutts." He muses on the thought of attempting idle chatter, but quickly decides against it. She's a busier girl than most, so his foolish questions would simply get ignored.
As expected, the walk to the destination was mostly silent. It was clear the Super Saiyan was here for something even more important than he anticipated.
The duo rounded a corner, finding themselves in front of a very special cell block. Vocado couldn't help but groan as he realized what exactly was about to go down. "Oh boy, an Arcosian... I'd rather have Deez talk my ear off than listen to his poor attempt at sounding regal. I gotta find some way to stay outta this conversation..."
Queen Zuccetta entered the meeting room, giving the sitting Arcosian a glare that not many would want to be met with. Vocado took a few steps back, watching the duo from afar as he leaned against a wall. He could still hear their conversation, but he wouldn't exactly interfere unless one of the two said something particularly idiotic. He doubted Zuccetta of all people would say something he felt the urge to correct, but one could never be sure...

After all his waiting, there she was. Queen Zucceta, in all of her intimidating, barbaric glory. It was quite a sight to behold, not to mention an unsettling one all the same; the fact that if he only slightly minced his words in the wrong way, she could vaporize him with a flick of a finger and the entire complex would applaud her for it. This was going to be the truest challenge of his somewhat rusting diplomatic skills, but in exchange, was likely the only way he'd see the light of day again rather than the black void of space from the insides of a magnetically-sealed window. Standing slowly, he would offer his most formal bow to the Saiyan leader. ''Queen Zucceta. What a pleasure it is to make your acquaintance. I'm pleased you could find the time to grant my request for a meeting. I know you're a very busy woman, so allow me to cut to the chase.'' Walking over to slide a chair out for himself while offering her his previous seat (closer to the door), he would sit once again, resuming his posture. Folding his hands onto the table after sliding his tea over, he would take a casual sip to allow pause for her to take the seat should she want it. Afterward, he cleared his throat to speak up, as tough as he was finding that to do. ''My name is Friion. I come from a family deeply entwined in Arcose's standing military, or rather what's left of it. In the aftermath of the sacking of Arcose, a glaring problem has come to my attention; one that I would seek to remedy, for both of our benefit. I have been informed that after the battle, the Arcosian forces have splintered and are killing each other off. I thought better of the place I came from, but it seems without Wyntre around, they're more content killing themselves than taking due process to fill the throne. While it may be very much to your advantage to allow this to happen, I have another plan in mind.''
Here it went. He seemed nervous all of the sudden, with his throat seizing up. His eyes only slightly betrayed his calm exterior, but he was very much reluctant to bring up the next subject. He was unsure if it was a sore topic for the Queen, and hopefully she would let him finish speaking instead of cutting him short by making a few surgical corrections to his skeletal structure or just washing him away in energy like a dirty spot that wasn't quite scrubbed out of Arcose. Clearing his throat, he finally blurted it out. ''Earth. I understand the Saiyans launched an offensive against the planet, and had been met with some...complications. Your people are a race of warriors, but sometimes even the strongest among warriors could find use in an ally. It is with this idea that I propose a truce. I have my motivations to believe you aren't quite finished with Earth. When the time comes anew to strike again and if my strategy bears fruit, you will find our forces shoulder to shoulder with your own. I'll allow you a moment to think over that much. If you like what you're hearing, I will go into more depth on the issue. It will be a long, difficult road.''
After speaking his piece, he tucked in slightly on sheer reflex; he had no idea how she was going to react to an Arcosian of all people suggesting something like this. Unsure if she were going to simply maim or kill him for having the audacity to bring up some glaring issues, he hoped the Queen could respect his bold demeanor instead of punish him for it. He was all alone and surrounded by Saiyans that would support her every word and action, and he knew being timid would be a waste of her time. Drumming his fingers nervously as his face stayed mostly calm and composed, he would await her reply, already trying to formulate how to further his case against her response for good or ill.
