A battlemoon indeed, but a battlemoon alone. It did not set the tone of weakness very well, but he would make them understand, that they had fleets of warships equal and exceeding the length of his, in a supply that dwarfed anything he could hope of commanding these days. His ship was alarming, but it was so vast merely due to the fact it had been fitted with two sets of shields, and hundreds of fighters, and a plethora of support systems to keep it automated and self-sufficient. On it, they would find not a single cannon, not a single blaster. It's hull was Quadanium or whatever it was, merely to protect the mass. In this age of ruthless sith who merely sought to destroy, and built technologies simply to do so, one might even admire Voracitos's intentional defensive design. If nothing else could prove it, this might.
He was not allowed to board the tiny Mandalorian Ship, they instead would board his. He was okay with this, but they would not enter his heart. They would not find his holocron now. It's presence was masked but the true spirit of Voracitos, dispersing it merely over the weak and hobbled form of the thing that called itself Voracitos. He watched, as the Mandalorians entered the singular entrance and exit of the ship, the mobile hangar tram that one might use to bring themselves to the center of the ship. That would not be done today however, not so long as he manifested this ship. He -obviously- allowed the interdictors to interdict, though little did they know that this ship alone held 100 tractor beams of its own. If things went sour, he would make sure no other Mandalorians would have a clear report appropriately.
Again, not perhaps, the best way to display weakness, but it showed the resolve that even despite his words he was not going to roll over and die... again.
"An Emperor I am no longer. I, in contradiction to my proclamation so long ago, have renounced such a title. I prefer Warlord now, though titles will be meaningless if the spite in your heart does what it wishes and punishes me further before I enter Chaos, finally. I know and sense the apprehension in you all. You want blood, but yet many are also curious, while some take inventory on their enemy. All are valid, but you must understand... The Empire is dead, I am dead, and those I have persuaded to my side merely have the vision of conquest. A vision, I am lead to believe, that to a certain degree... you and I share. But we will never know conquering, if we are not conquered ourselves. I do not suggest that we ever be 'friends' by any extent," He scoffed with with the sunken aged face. If nothing else showed weakness, Voracitos appeared an old man. The Mandalorians though were too wise to trust appearance, as after all, they did not trust him any more than now when he was considerably... planetary in size. Especially this Ember person, he would feel the overbearing presence of his spirit in this fleshy vessel, he would not be fooled... yet.
"But I have the wish to grant those bonded to my servitude to know the service of some of the most stubborn warriors in all of history, and indeed, the galaxy. If my own bondage, and theirs too, is the price. It will be paid, and more. All that I say is no deception, I have no advantage in it, there is so great a risk here... you after all hold all the cards. Mine and my companions survival rest upon your sole consideration." He tossed a hand in Ember's direction. "We of course, would fight, but in the end we are but dogs. Even I... have truthfully... in these days... felt... rather.... well, useless." Everything showed the honest pain in Voracitos, that, above all, held no degree of any deception by any account.
"Though in this kindness you may or may not show to this deadened soul, in taking this favor of mine, I will tell you that I am willing to further that uselessness, if it means those I claim under me may have the option of serving your Mandalore in some way... for a time. I believe... that it would bring me, closer to solace. Perhaps it would make the transition to Chaos less painful." He shrugged, honestly not knowing the answer.
