Rommie pulls out his Roman Uniform and slips into it, ever so snugly. It must've shrunk after being in storage for so long. He stands upon the balcony overlooking the Colosseum grounds and begins to speak....

Friends! Romans! Ex Islers! Lend me your ears!

Many of the other factions here have created their own harbors for which their members can gather. Yet we the Romans, one of the oldest factions of the community have yet to show our strength and numbers.

When we joined this faction, we pledged that we would remain true to our Goddess Andromeda no matter what the cost. And yet our numbers have grown thin. I believe I speak for the entire Triumverate, let alone the Empire, that we shall not allow this to happen.

We shall rise up from the annals, and show that we still exist. We shall show that the Romans will never go quietly into the night. Those of you within the empire, don your togas, your uniforms, your keychains, and gather here in the Colosseum! Show your allegiance to the Goddess Andromeda!

And while we're at it, let's have one banging Toga Party while we're at it!

*Walks in and looks around...*

WOW!! Nice place

Mind if I pull up a toga since I helped you spell it right?

[xxxguppyxxx]

* a light spills upon the colluseum, and a vibrant gust of wind, then a lrge ship dramatically hovers over... the lights go out, and a body begins to materialize... once  the figure is fully there, the ship flies away leaving guppy in full roman attire and about 4 thousand gallons of sparky in large crates*

... I'm not to late for the party am I...

[Rommie's Ronin]

I'm here.  Let the games begin!

[Shalamar]

Long Live the Warship!

Shalamar glides in, her crimson toga flowing about her as she takes a seat to watch the festivities.

[RommieSG]

Welcome friends. Your offerings are much appreciated, and will be put to good use! Now let us rejoice in that we are beginning to re-gather. I am sure that the Emperor himself will be here to give us his blessing as well.

When did I start talking all Roman and stuff?

Oh well.....it fits........unlike my uniform........

Rommie

[Psyche]

Well, I am a fan of Rommie, yet not officially a Roman... I'll join, and hey, did someone say toga party?

[RommieSG]

See! The perfect utility to acquire new members while we're at it!

Welcome fellow follower? If you'll pledge your undying allegiance to the Goddess Andromeda, to Worship the Warship, and defend her to the very end, then you are welcome with us.

Do you pledge your allegiance?

Rommie

[Mr. Synystyr]

Games?  Togas?  Reverence for Rommie?  Count me in!

[RommieSG]

Same question to you, Mr. Synystyr...

If you'll pledge your undying allegiance to the Goddess Andromeda, to Worship the Warship, and defend her to the very end, then you are welcome with us.

Do you pledge your allegiance?

Rommie

[Psyche]

I do pledge my allegiance to the Goddess Andromeda, to Worship the Warship, and to defend to the very end!

[Mr. Synystyr]

I do pledge my allegiance, my faith, and to the eternal defence of Andromeda!

[RommieSG]

Then by the power vested to me by the Emperor of all the Roman Empire Aurelius, and as Second in Command of the Empire, I hereby officially approve your entrance into the Empire.

All welcome our newest Romans, Psyche and Mr. Synystr.

Make sure you see the quartermaster down on the first floor by the concession stand, and receive your togas, and keychains.

Rommie

[Shalamar]

Welcome Psyche, and Mr.Synystr to the Romans!

[Psyche]

First floor, concession stand, got it. *runs off to get toga and keychain*

Do you have maps and historical pamphlets?

[Mr. Synystyr]

   I hope the togas come in a size that will fit me properly.  Too often they are too short, and, well...

No time like the present!  I'm off to get my toga and keychain.

[Psyche]

I think my toga fits... I've never worn one before to compare with.

[Mr. Synystyr]

Hmmmm, mine is short, but I've never let exhibitionism stop me before.      To the games!

[RommieSG]

Ah, true Romans from the very start.
