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.

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.

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

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

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.

ZendikaroftheWest 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 fleets may benefit from the addition of Gamilas vessels and starfighters. We are open to negotiation, but the second condition is not.

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

ZendikaroftheWest

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.

ONI
You aren't? Oh sorry nvm

ONI

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

MrBalkenKreuz

ONI
"My nation is not exactly looking for something within the EUG per say...
Its more a question of the status of a certain asset of yours...."

Reaching into a pocket on his uniform Burke retrieved a small angular device, setting it on the center of the table it then activated and projected a hologram of a bustling trade station

"This is station was once known as "Trade Station Georgia" however it now belongs to your government,
my leaders sent me here to inquire you on the possible purchase of this station from the UEG."

Adjusting himself in his seat once more Burke let his words sink into his UEG counterpart before speaking again

"My ship is carrying half the amount of material equivalent my government estimated the station would cost for an immediate transaction, the terms of this deal would include the full handover of "Trade Station Georgia" to my government, with a 2 month period of transition allowing you to remove any assets you want from the station. while this transition period is happening the first half of the material onboard my ship will remain with you as a collateral until said 2 month transition period is ended upon which, the other half will be delivered."

"So Mr. Signh... what do you think of the offer?"

Observations, made by...scorces we will not mention.

ZendikaroftheWest The captain of the frigate sends an encrypted transmission to local forces to ask for backup. A Hermes-clas Light Cruiser Hermes LC-001 responds and soon will be at the frigates location.

The frigate's captain has deemed the interaction with this New Gamilas Empire as suspicious.

What sources.

ZendikaroftheWest

ONI
We dont trust you with that information.

ONI

ZendikaroftheWest The Hermes arrives. The frigate is dwarfed by the sheer size of the light cruiser as the cruiser passes near it to park itself in an orbiting position near the frigate.

The cruiser sits waiting in case anything happens.

So be it. The frigate responds. We have reason to believe that you seem untrustworthy and are prone to suspicion due to the nature of the supposed conflict in your transmissions. We will stop conducting diplomatic negotiations with you. You must also leave the current system. Failure to comply will see you marked as hostile and be destroyed.

ZendikaroftheWest

ONI
The cruiser turns, then stops. It then makes a short jump, going just beyond the edge of the system.

ONI

ZendikaroftheWest The Hermes and the frigate return to their duties. Each of them file a very detailed report for command to receive and review.

A prowler is dispatched to track them on the outside of the system. The stealth craft soon after the failed negotiations leaves and heads toward the edge of the system to track its prey. Wondering where it will go next.

ONI
The battlecruiser makes several longer jumps, getting fully outside of UEG space, then a tug arrives carrying a small trading post. along with it come four destroyer's and a purple and white battlecarrier.

ONI

ZendikaroftheWest The stealth craft continues to watch. Recording everything. It lays waiting for something new to happen.
