Continue the meeting by establishing imperial address protocols for your subjects across the multiverse
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Before we conclude," you say, leaning forward in your chair, "there's one more matter to address. The helicarriers and tricarriers for planetary deployment aren't a priority right now."
Gion nods, making a note on her tablet. "I'll adjust the production schedule accordingly."
"Also, since helicarriers aren't space-worthy," you continue, "they'll need to be transported inside the Universe-class carriers. We'll need beaming technology from the Stargate universe to deploy them efficiently to planetary surfaces."
Maxine looks up from her notes, her enormous breasts shifting beneath her lab coat. "We haven't extracted anything from the Stargate universe yet."
"Then do so," you command, "but only extract copies of the data needed for the beaming technology. Most tech in that universe is either broken, malfunctioning, or being watched by the Ascended Ancients. I'd rather not attract their attention."
"Understood," Maxine replies, already formulating extraction parameters. "I can isolate the transportation technology without triggering any dimensional monitoring systems."
"Now, regarding imperial protocols," you announce, drawing everyone's attention. "From this moment forward, only my children may address me as Divine Mother. My harem will address me as Jane, or Lady Jane in formal settings. Everyone else in the empire must use Empress Jane Powers or Empress Powers. Those outside our empire or untransformed may address me as circumstances dictate."
Victoria taps this into her tablet. "Should I distribute this protocol empire-wide?"
"Yes, effective immediately," you confirm. "Also, kneeling before me is excessive. A simple bow is sufficient in most circumstances."
Cynthia, still adjusting to her newly granted status as Pokémon Queen, smiles mischievously. "The bow does provide a better view of whoever's cleavage is bowing."
You laugh, nodding in agreement. "Exactly. Though the military should salute instead of bowing or kneeling—I don't want them vulnerable to ambush while showing deference. And my harem," you add with a softer smile, "is exempt from bowing or kneeling requirements altogether."
"A privilege most appreciated," Maxine says warmly.
"What about communication protocols?" Gion asks. "Should different sectors of the empire use specific channels when addressing the throne?"
"Good question," you reply. "Military and security matters should come through you or Victoria. Civilian affairs through regional governors. Scientific breakthroughs directly to Maxine. Everything else can follow existing hierarchies."
Cynthia raises her hand. "And for Pokémon world governance?"
"You'll report directly to me," you tell her. "As queen of that realm, you have authority to make day-to-day decisions, but major policy changes require my approval."
The meeting concludes with everyone clear on the new protocols. Your inner council rises, each processing their assignments and the implications of your growing multiverse empire.
