"Yes Ma'am"

A Handful of bridge crew throw up their hands in surrender along with the captain, while the rest are tranqed

ONI

Brank The bridge crew is taken prisoner. The captain and the other officers are held separately as they will be useful to interrogate…

Now they await pickup by someone else above these troopers pay grades.

ONI

Brank Soon after the brief is over, the man is placed on one of the transports that are carrying the prisoners towards Broken Loop. The man has been given information that will show the acts of the young captain who attacked the UEG. From information captured from the stolen corvette, false logs have been placed and given to him which he can use to provide evidence of the "truth"

The reply was acknowledged shortly as the ship followed the Irving to the station. Apon reaching the station, a large door on the underside of the ship opened and a shuttle emerged which was quickly directed towards the station by the UEG Flight Control crew.

ONI

MrBalkenKreuz The stations armoured doors are seen opening and a faint whitish blue screen is seen behind them. The craft passes through this and eventually comes to touch down on the titanium plated floor. Off to the side away from the landing zone waits a man in officers garb and a couple of marines not wearing their standard issue helmets. They also didn’t have weapons on them.

Whomever comes off the foreign craft is greeted by the officer in a pleasant manner.

The officer welcomes them aboard station Plato and tells them that it is is currently one of several stations named after old human philosophers from times of old. He also asks for them to follow to the place where a meeting will be held.

I guess being nice has it’s rewards..

ONI Very well. Let these diplomatic games begin.

MrBalkenKreuz

ONI
As Burke walked down the many hallways and corridors following the Officer he observed his surroundings noting the simple yet, effective construction of the station and remarked to himself that these people were seemingly a practical one, similar to his own kind.
His thoughts shifted to the Officer he was following as he realized he hadn't asked his name or introduced his own...

"Perhaps these missions are getting to me....."
Shaking his head Burke pushed these thoughts aside and instead began to speak to the Officer

"If i may Inquire what is your name?
Forgive me if this question seems rather random its just that I've realized you and I never introduced ourselves."

Brank

ONI
The crew wait in defeat, none of them really fighting.

ONI

Brank Captured, interrogated, and detained. UNO can have the possibility to reason with the UEG for their release.

ONI

MrBalkenKreuz The officer reaches out a hand to Burke to shake it. I am Captain James Empson. I command one of the ships in the UNSC navy". Empson keeps the kind look on your face. "It is nice to meet you as well"

The pair eventually come to the conference room which is a a cream-coloured room with a wooden table. On the back wall hangs the UEG and UNSC flags respectivley. A couple of datapads also sit on the table unattended.

Anyway, where were we? Ah yes. Ok, so here's our offer. We are willing to agree to a military and trade alliance, HOWEVER, we will not participate in any operations involving the GSR. this is not my decision to make, and has come down from high command. however, we are willing to participate in other operations against any other adversaries you may have. We also think that your fleet's may benefit from the addition of Gamilas vessels and starfighter's. We are open to negotiation, but the second condition is not.

(GSR and UEG aren't friends)

Why are you not able to be a part of operations regarding the GSR?.

ZendikaroftheWest

MrBalkenKreuz yes I know

MrBalkenKreuz

Burke shook the hand of this "Captain Empson" and introduced himself

"A pleasure to meet you Kapitan Empson, i am Burke Lafayette."

As they entered the room Burke took interest in the flags mounted from the wall.
Walking up to them he inspected them carefully taking note of their symbolism. Adjusting his uniform, pondering for a moment, before sitting down on the chair set at one end of the long table.

ONI

MrBalkenKreuz The captain takes a seat as well across from Burke. Moments later a diplomat of a sort rushes into the room and takes a seat by Empson. Burke can see Empson across from him flash a "why did they send him" look across his face.

Empson quickly relaxes himself and introduces the diplomat to Burke. This here is Diplomat Charles Signh.

MrBalkenKreuz

ONI

Adjusting Himself in his seat for a moment, Burke Introduced himself

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr.Signh, I am Burke Lafayette"

Standing up slightly and leaning over the table Burke held out his hand in greeting

Upon hearing of the captain still being alive despite the loss, Ezekiel sends the Recusant Destroyer "Broken Loop" Out for the mission, seeing as it just returned from a short recon mission and is still full on supplies. The IDS Broken loop drops from hyperspace and immediately attempts to open communications with the UEG Planet.

ONI
... you may not understand. Gamilas and the GSR are... alike in many ways, and while we do accept that you are in a war with them, and do not hold it against you, we will not fight them. Still we are willing to ally with both of you, to bring a greater peace.

ONI

ZendikaroftheWest We are not at war with the GSR. What leads you to believe we are.

ONI

Brank The ship is cleared after some doubtful negotiations.
The prisoners will be transported over. Under the watchful eye of a few heavier classifications of the ship which is quite noticeable. However, it was what goes on behind the scenes which don't. The prowler Fading into Darkness is watching, lurking in the shadows the transfer operation from afar. The prowler discretely launches a remote device that is no smaller than a nickel in size, it floats itself over towards the Broken Loop. It stops and latches itself onto one of the Broken Loops engines. Afterwards, when the Broken Loop heads home, the device will activate. It will deploy a small eye-like lens which will allow it to see and collect data and information. Primarily star clusters where once it has captured enough data the device will launch one of its memory crystals into slipspace where it will be obtained at the receving end.

ONI

MrBalkenKreuz "The pleasure is all mine." Empson turns to Singh to explain that he is late. Empson then apologizes on behalf of Singh's tardiness. After all, he is representing the UEG as a whole and being late is quite unprofessional.

Mr Singh asks Burke what he is looking for with the UEG.

You aren't? Oh sorry nvm

ONI

ZendikaroftheWest The ship continues. What leads to thinking we are...
