An audience with the Queen of All Omitrons!

After touring the city for a while, you and your mission finally made it to the Eternal Frozen Palace and you and your party saw it for the first time, you come to understand why it is called as such.

It is as if the palace itself was carved out of some massive blocks of ices and was eternally kept cold to prevent it from being melted after the construction was finished! And if that was not enough, it is also decorated with beautiful glowing lights of many colors! Obviously, you know that this palace is definitely not made out of ices but simply designed to look like it was made out of such materials.

As soon as you and your party reached the palace's gate, it is opened for you automatically with the guards who stationed outside played no roles in it whatsoever. You and your mission parked the anti-gravity vehicles once you are all within the palace's walls and then being led into the palace by two humanoid Omitrons in butler outfits that appeared to be waiting for the arrival of your party.

Once inside, you and your party are being led through the dark hall with is glimmering with plenty of violet, pink and blue lights, thus leaving the positive first impressions on everyone. As soon as the two humanoid Omitrons reached the door on the other side of the hall, they opened it and led you all inside.

There above the staircase with a massive throne sat a giant robot with feminine figure and glowing purple eyes. And she is looking down at where you and your companions stand.

"Your Majesty." Both male programmed Omitrons in butler outfits said as they bowed down before their supreme leader in respects.

"Greetings, organics. I, Octavia, the Queen of All Omitrons, have been waiting for you!" The Queen of All Omitrons, now introducing herself to you and everyone else as Octavia, said to you for the first time.

Queen Octavia of the Omitrons. You and everyone in your mission know that name.

It's the name of the female AI that was leading the robots in the war of independence two centuries ago.

Her name, Octavia, is shortened for Overseer and Caretaker To All Vital Intelligent Androids. You and some people in scientific community always questioned why she is named in such a way and the most likely conclusion is that the ones who were working on her most likely ran out of names that they can think of while making it fitting for her duties, which are to overseeing and taking care of all AIs within the Enclave back then, whether they are the ones with robotic bodies or are just programs-bots that existed within the system across the Enclave.

"Organics! It is a custom for all to bow before the Queen who liberated us from slavery!" One of the Omitron Butlers with male voice said while he's still bowing before his Queen.

"Not. A. Word!" You whispered to everyone in your party loud enough to them to hear in case anyone of them ended up saying something stupid like the robots are properties of humanity because they built them or something similar that would invoke their wrath.

Of course, they get what you mean and decide it is for the best to keep their mouths shut.

Then, you proceeded to perform a bow before the Queen. Soon, Barbara and her fellow mutants, including those with healed injuries after a fight with Doctor Rowland, also bowed before the Queen of All Omitrons as well.

Slowly, surely but also reluctantly, everyone begins to bow before the Queen of All Omitrons.

"You all may rise!" The Queen of All Omitrons spoken loud enough that it can be heard echoing across the vast throne room that is clearly very spacious and tall since it can supported a robot at such a size.

"Thank you." Both Omitron Butlers with male voices said as they rise up and so do you and your mission.

"Your Majesty, we have traveled far from our homes to beseech an audience with you. So thank you for granting us this wish!" You said in such a humble tone to display that you and your companions are no threats to her or the city and its population.

"I have heard of your journey and the reason why you desired an alliance with us already. And after doing a lot of thinking, I agreed to it. However, I have concessions to ask for also." Octavia said as she's looking at you and your companions.

"My humblest apology but how did you-" You are about to ask her how did she know your name or about the diplomatic mission at all but then, she interrupted you.

"How did I know this or know of your name?

We have limited access to cameras of video surveillance within the Enclave… Some persons collaborate with us covertly for a fee… Espionage is something that can be done by both sides of the relationship…

And ever since the recent events that have been transpired within the Undercity, my government and I believed it is in our best interests to keep an eye out and even dispatched some of our sentries to explore the caverns just in case of anything..." - Octavia said.

"Wait! So does that mean-" Ursula said but again, the Queen of All Omitrons interrupted her.

"Know about the current location of the Rough Riders' base? Yes, I do. However, I must said that I am impressed with the tactics employed by the Mugwumps because it is very hard for us to identify who they are since we found no politicians among your ranks who talked about supporting the revolutionary activities at all." Octavia said with clear admiration in her electric feminine voice.

"... oh wow..." You said and it is all that you have to say since you are unable to process just how really good and advance these AIs have become after being left alone for two centuries after they won their independence from humanity.

"Now back on the topic, we desired concessions in exchange of an alliance with your organization and later, an acknowledgement to the new government that your political leaders among the Mugwumps will formed." Octavia said as she's looking down at you and your party from her throne.

"What is it that you desired from us?" You asked the Queen of All Omitrons back.

"The first one is that we would like to ask for mining rights in the Northwestern Caverns to be given to us. We needed more minerals to build our city and to expand our population. The second one is to put an end to all types of discrimination against my citizens and to give them equal rights when they traveled across the Enclave's territories and residing there. The third one is to allow an embassy to be built for my diplomats and ambassadors to use and reside." Octavia said as she's still sitting on her massive throne.

"Oh wow! That sounded... so acceptable!" You said in shock because of how lenient the terms are! And not just you but the rest of your party are also surprised by the concessions the Queen asked too!

"So that mean you accepted the terms, am I correct?" The Queen of All Omitrons asked you back.

"Yes, yes I accepted the terms." You said it with confidence in your voice since you like how lenient the terms are.

And so, the mission ended in success. The alliance between the Dark Horses and Omitrons have been officially forged!

"And now, I would like to speak with Doctor Cleveland in private. So you all can leave." Octavia said as her eyes glowed green for a moment, thus making the two Omitron butlers and the guards who have been stationed inside the throne room to leave through the nearest doors without questioning her commands as their eyes too glowed green as they are executing her commands.

However, the members of your mission still refused to leave out of concern for you since none of them like the idea of leaving you alone with a gigantic robot in such a place!

"Don't worry! I will be fine..." - you said with a bit of uncertainty in your voice but put up a smile to show it to everyone that everything will be okay in the end.

Soon, you party's members leave the throne room one by one with Ursula and Barbara being among the last ones to leave while also looking at you with concerns in their eyes.

"Wait! Is she... actually... concerning about me?!" - You thought as you just witnessed Ursula displayed concerns through her eyes to you when she was leaving.

But then, the train of through in your head is derailed not long after everyone left the throne room when you heard the sounds of mechanical and engines within the gigantic body of the Queen of All Omitrons begin to release some steams from her head and her face begins to open! And then, something or someone suddenly jumped down from there and landed right in front of you!

"Hello!" The robot with joyous personality, glowing purple eyes, feminine body and wires for hairs, said as she jumped out of the foggy steams to say hello to you really up close to the point of invading your personal space a little too much!

"What. The. HECK?!" - You thought in your head as you are looking at this new female robot in shock!
