I didn't like how this was all going, but it was still better than the worst of my predictions where we'd be killed or tortured.
That plan always had too many risks, I knew that when we thought about it all, but it was better than the alternative that even though it was safer, would waste precious time we don't have.
I could see that the woman named Elizabeth was influential and was driving the meeting around in circles, which was good for me as the meeting was nearing its end and it looked like we weren't going to be able to form an alliance.
Exposing ourselves like this was more than risky and I couldn't leave here with a loss, I can imagine they would follow us back to our bases, I doubt we would notice if they sent someone strong enough.
There are other ways for them to get the information I can provide while I desperately need their help, I can say that they know this and still tried to form the Alliance, but I didn't imagine that our situation was so difficult to solve with so many variables that I didn't know.
When finally that red-haired boy Miriam told of went into battle demonstrating strength beyond even Miriam, I knew where this was all going, which was confirmed when he returned victorious.
Unlike his sister who was indirectly leading the whole conversation in a way that would help his plans, Zenos was more direct, he from the beginning first presented the 3 topics of our needs in this agreement before saying what he could offer, he tried to be vague to hide his secrets, which I can understand, but I think he says pretension.
But I don't like the way he talks about excluding people he doesn't approve of, but there's not much I can do about that, I need his help since right now he's the only one left.
His identity also seems to be special, from the conversations so far I could tell that he is a High Level Dragon just like what they call a Demigod, I don't know if this is a way of referring to someone like him figuratively or a title received for some reason, maybe he can even be the real thing in the literal sense of the word.
When he left his sister didn't say anything, she just looked at us as if expecting something.
"Can he really do what he says?" (I)
"Yes, as much as he doesn't seem confident, that's mostly because he doesn't fully understand his potential, but I can assure you he can." (Elizabeth)
"He spoke so casually about abandoning our people…" (Miriam)
"Well, it's not our problem, he was even easy to convince, normally I would expect more resistance to the idea of helping you." (Elizabeth)
"Does he have a place we can inhabit? He wasn't very clear on that matter." (I)
"He has, as much as he dislikes the truth, he is a ruler, there is a city like thousands of people calling him King." (Elizabeth)
I remember the races he showed before, I had already seen images and even seen some, in our universe there were only Humans, finding other races was more than shocking when we got here, I left that subject aside because there were many important things to deal with, but it is undeniable that my people are not ready to live in society with such different races.
For me as well as Miriam this is fascinating, but I can see the kinds of problems my people can cause, especially with the minds of many on edge.
"Can you at least tell me the type of government he uses on his land and if there would be room for people from my people?" (I)

"The system of government is very simple, there are only two layers of power, Zenos as King at the top and just below a group of loyal people who take care of civic affairs." (Elizabeth)
"You can participate, but you must understand that our culture is not going to change because of you." (Elizabeth)
"Also, if you want to have a voice where you go, it must be on merit, demonstrate that you have the ability." (Elizabeth)
After that we talked with Elizabeth for a while, it was clear that she wanted to take us to her brother's side, I just don't know why.
After that, she told us to be on that platform in the next few days since we can't get into her city, so the next thing I know the surroundings changed again to the same meeting room, Miriam and I went back to our vehicle.
"Should we leave?" (Nara)
"No, we'll be here for the next few days." (Miriam)
"I'll let the others know." (Nara)
"Come with me." (I)
I took Miriam to the most secure room in our vehicle, it was specially designed by me to be as safe as possible, I don't know if it will be useful here, but it's all I can do at the moment.
"I don't know what to do, Miriam." (I)
"We can always look for another world, this is not the only habitable world." (Miriam)
"We can't, this world is special, you know that you saw the energy readings..." (I)
Lost in this universe during the last few years, we ended up dividing ourselves into two fronts, the researchers by my side while the military by Miriam's side, of course, this clear division has become less distinct over the last few years, but thanks to that I was able to focus on studying this universe a little more. I think you should take a look at
I was able to track the largest energy flows, this was necessary to keep us away as it harmed our people, but thanks to that over time I was able to track the largest energy flows that mostly intersect in this solar system, the readings of this world in particular are out of standards.
From my studies I know that the worlds with less energy are those already destroyed or close to destruction, this world offers special in many ways, not just in terms of energy, this was one of the reasons for the 1 year investigation mission in which Miriam took part being sent to this world.
"I'm thinking of accepting their terms, it's not like I have many options, the signs of the creatures are more and more apparent in the universe, not to mention that the movements of those madmen have been more strange." (I)
"You can't be serious? They made it very clear that they don't care about us or our people, that woman says in all the letters that she wants to mess with our people's heads to be accepted or she's going to abandon them, you..." (Miriam)
"It wouldn't be the first time that part of the town has been abandoned, remember how we got here? My father stayed behind and her husband was in one of the vehicles that wasn't finished yet." (I)
"We've only survived so far by making concessions, you can't have it all, Miriam." (I)
"..." (I)
"..." (Miriam)
Sigh
"They also don't have to tell us they wanted to get into our minds, we are literally asking them to remake our bodies, they could do anything without telling us and we would never know, we have little value to them so I don't think they want to do anything to harm us." (I)
"Looks like you've already made up your mind." (Miriam)
"In our situation, I don't think it could even be called a decision, it was the only way." (I)
Time was precious, if we had enough time more people could have been saved that day, if we had enough time we could have made that first contact more calmly so as not to look so suspicious, and if we had enough time we could have tried harder to find a way to save our people without relying on outsiders.
"Choices must be made and concessions must be made... only then can we cling to the thread of hope that we have not taken a wrong turn." (I)

Pov Haku (?????):
"I'm not sure... I like blue a lot, but green suits you better." (I)
I had a bald, eyeless head pinned to the wall as I held one eye of each color up to the eye sockets trying to figure out which eye color would go best with the face I chose.
"What do you think..." (I)
I look at the brain with eyes glued to the pile on the other side, I'm letting him see the construction of his new body, I chose to make a woman so I can have an assistant test for infertility issues since no one else wants to study this topic.
"I forgot that I turned off the language reading system, so let's save that for later." (I)
I drop my eyes on their respective weaknesses and go back to the bones, I've finished modeling them, and now I need to make the magic circles drawn directly on the bones.
"I don't like to fight directly, but I'm not confident in using magic either, so if you're physically fit and trained for that, having an assistant who can defend me could be good." (I)
I know I'm trying to make something too perfect that can help me with everything, but it's so rare to find such a good mind, his brain didn't even die in the process of separating the body or collecting memories, even his consciousness remained, I don't know how long I'll go without seeing another one of this level of quality.
"I wish I had Vampire veins, that's a shame." (I)
I took the purple bone blade to start scratching the magic circles digging into the bones, this process was very detailed and I like to do it more by hand, it took me hours to do this.
"< Bone Infusion >" (I)
I take a magic crystal that contains Blood magic and apply a Necromancy magic, the previously solid crystal begins to melt and with a lot of effort, I make this liquid go through the thin ditches I drew in the bones before solidifying again.
"This is getting better..." (I)
Sigh
I was exhausted, every magic I use makes me stay in that state, I really wish I had someone to teach me these things better, it has been the main reason for my research not going as fast as I would like.
"I think I'll have to sleep a little before the muscles implant... not to mention the meat is still being grown, I think I can give myself some of that time" (I)
I see there's still room on the table next to the skeleton and I lie down there, it's going to be a waste of time to go to my room, sleeping in the lab will save me time.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
